**Yvaine's Encounter at the Airport**
Yvaine reached the airport, her heart racing with anticipation and a mix of excitement. "Now, what's going to happen?" she wondered, trying to steady her thoughts. "He better be worth all this trouble I'm going through," she mused, slipping on her ear pods and letting the music soothe her nerves.
After presenting her documents and getting them stamped, she was escorted onto the plane. As she found her seat, she noticed someone already seated next to her. With a sigh, she closed her eyes and leaned back, allowing herself a moment of relaxation.
Her presence did not go unnoticed. Passengers, including Reuben and Liam, took notice of her. Liam's emotions intensified, his heart pounding as he gazed at Yvaine.
"You might want to breathe," Yvaine suggested calmly, sensing his gaze.
"Sorry, miss, you're on the wrong plane," someone said, the confusion evident.
"I noticed," Yvaine replied, still with her eyes closed, a hint of amusement in her tone.
Liam felt a sense of relief as he took a deep breath, but his eyes remained fixed on her. Reuben, meanwhile, was shocked to see Liam so captivated by a woman.
As the plane prepared for takeoff, everyone was requested to sit down and fasten their seatbelts, but Yvaine remained still, her eyes closed. A female attendant approached her gently.
"Excuse me, miss, can you please fasten your seatbelt?" the attendant asked politely.
"Go bring me a red sparkling wine," Yvaine responded, her voice steady and unyielding.
The bodyguards at the back, all employed by Liam, wondered why he hadn't thrown her out. Liam, however, was transfixed, unable to take his eyes off her. The plane took off, and when the female attendant returned with the wine, Yvaine opened her eyes, removed her ear pods, and looked at the attendant.
"Open it," she instructed firmly.
Throughout this time, she didn't look at Liam, a deliberate act that only heightened his intrigue.
"Why don't you want to look at me?" Liam asked, his voice filled with curiosity and a hint of vulnerability, but Yvaine ignored him, her focus unwavering.
"Leave, I'll open it," Liam said to the attendant, his tone gentle but authoritative.
Yvaine gently touched the attendant's hand, signaling her to leave. She then turned to Liam, her eyes meeting his for the first time.
"My wine," she demanded, her gaze steady and intense.
Liam opened the wine and poured her a glass, the tension palpable between them.
"Tell me about yourself," Yvaine asked, her voice soft yet commanding.
"I'm Xie Liam, 25 years old, the first child of my parents. I have two siblings, Jack and Amelia. I am the CEO of Global Entertainment," he answered, his eyes locked onto hers.
"What do you like?" Yvaine asked, taking a sip of the wine, savoring the moment.
"Work, exercise, and racing," Liam replied, his voice steady.
"Okay," Yvaine responded, her tone thoughtful.
"And you?" Liam asked, his curiosity piqued.
She drank the entire glass of wine and looked at Liam, her eyes taking in every detail of his face.
"Wine," she requested, her voice low and mesmerizing.
Liam poured her another glass, his hands trembling slightly.
"How do you feel now?" Yvaine asked, her gaze piercing.
"Deep happiness, contentment, a strong sense of connection, safety, excitement, a sense of fulfillment, and other emotions I can't quite explain," Liam confessed, his voice filled with sincerity.
"Did you ever feel forced?" Yvaine inquired, her tone probing.
"I was happy to see your face every day, but I always felt a longing for more. I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you. I felt frustrated seeing you every second, and my heart yearned for more with each passing moment. With nothing else to do but wait, I kept myself busy, hoping to see you soon," Liam admitted, his voice heavy with emotion.
"That's why you looked up at the moon and made your sincere wish," Yvaine said, her voice softening.
"How do you know?" Liam asked, his eyes wide with surprise.
"i***t," Yvaine replied with a slight smile, a hint of affection in her eyes.
