Chapter: 5752

The other two people also recognized this and closed their mouths, pretending not to notice anything unusual as they looked around the grand hall.

After Mr. Ye and Lin Wan'er arrived, the three of them only hurriedly approached Qiu Yingshan's old companion together, saying in unison, "Miss Lin is fine, Mr. Ye is fine!"

Lin Wan'er's smile had just disappeared, replaced by a stern expression like that of a parent, opening her mouth to say, "I'm setting off with Mr. Ye to visit the south; I'll leave everything in your care here. Remember, no one is allowed to go up."

Qiu Yingshan said without hesitation, "Miss Lin, you can rest assured, I'll take care of everything!"

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and then looked at Sun Zhidong again, saying quietly, "Old Sun, I did a divination for you last night; your fortunes have been broken by Mr. Ye. For the next two to three decades, there won't be any major changes. You can relax and return to Beijing if needed without worrying about staying here."

Lin Wan'er knew that Sun Zhidong's path was different from others', which also determined that he would find it hard to have absolute autonomy; if he stayed away for too long, someone might come looking for him in Beijing.

Sun Zhidong also knew his circumstances and sighed, "Miss Lin, I won't deceive you - I've devoted myself wholeheartedly this life. Now that I'm old, I don't want to worry about anything else. My spouse passed away early, and my three children are all abroad. Even if I return to Beijing and live within those high walls, it would be very uninteresting; if you permit it, I'd like to stay here for a while longer and chat with these two childhood friends."

Lin Wan'er thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Staying here is also not out of the question. Just arrange things yourself, and don't worry about me."

Sun Zhidong bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Lin, you don't need to worry about me. It's best to hurry up and go with Mr. Ye to attend to matters."

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and told the four people, "Since it's like that, I'll go ahead and leave with Mr. Ye."

The four of them hurriedly saw off Lin Wan'er and Ye Cheng as they got into their carriage, watching them drive down the mountain before finally feeling at ease.

Inside the carriage, Ye Cheng focused on driving while Lin Wan'er, sitting beside him, couldn't help but blush again.

She glanced at Ye Cheng and looked out the window, hesitating for a moment before sheepishly asking him, "Dear, how long will it take us to reach the airport?"

Ye Cheng replied casually, "About half an hour."

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but ask with excitement, "Are you not going to call me 'darling' then?"

Ye Cheng coughed twice and asked her, "Is there no one else here? Do we really need to do that?"

Lin Wan'er looked dejected and said, "I had agreed with Mr. Ye beforehand..."

Ye Cheng immediately spoke up in a serious tone, "Okay, I'll keep my promise."

When that was said, he adjusted himself and said, "Baby, we're half an hour away from the airport."

Lin Wan'er blushed and sweetly smiled, exclaiming, "I know, thank you dear!"

Satisfied in her heart, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but glance at Ye Cheng's left hand, which was gripping the steering wheel, and curiously asked, "Dear, didn't you wear the necklace I gave you when you left?"

Ye Cheng replied casually, "What's the point of wearing it? That necklace is recognized by your father, not me. Since we're going out together, if we encounter danger, it will still send me to your face. If we really meet Wu Feiyan, wouldn't she just get stuck in her Five Fingers Mountain and be unable to fly away? It's probably better to let her have the necklace rather than wear it ourselves."

As he spoke, Ye Cheng added, "Wu Feiyan even dreams of getting that necklace from you. If we don't bring it along, even if she really catches us, we'll have something to bargain with."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "I was considering this point too...".

"Oh..." Ye Cheng understood she was pretending to be his girlfriend, and nodded saying, "That's probably it." JrNovels.com
