Ye Mingmei was genuinely thirsty, and she took the water cup and drank it all in one go.

Satisfied, she squinted her beautiful eyes.

Yu Xiuzhun sat on the sofa opposite her, and seeing her childlike action, he inexplicably softened his gaze.

The assistant quickly delivered the clothes.

Yu Xiuzhun took the shirt, and leisurely put it on, but tossed the tie to Ye Mingmei.

"Help me tie it."

"..."

Ye Mingmei instinctively reached out to catch the tie that was flung toward her.

This time, she didn’t even bother with unnecessary words, stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, deftly tied it for him, and casually threw the suit jacket next to him.

She couldn’t help but speak, "You’re a rogue even in a suit."

"I’m not only a rogue, but I’m only a rogue to you." Yu Xiuzhun pulled her into his arms, staring down at her.

His deep eyes carried a mysterious glow.

Ye Mingmei pushed him away, picked up her suitcase, and nervously walked towards the door.

If she stayed any longer, she really wouldn’t be able to resist starting a fight with him.

Since it was a fight she couldn’t win, it was better not to ask for trouble. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I’ll carry it for you."

Yu Xiuzhun finally showed a bit of gentlemanly demeanor, reaching out to forcibly take Ye Mingmei’s suitcase, easily lifting it in his hand.

His other hand held her small hand.

Ye Mingmei had no chance to resist, being led away by Yu Xiuzhun.

"I still have some luggage left to move."

"Miss Ye, my subordinates will assist you with it."

The assistant sensibly walked at the back, carrying the gifts Ye Mingmei had prepared for Su Yiru.

"..."

Ye Mingmei was utterly speechless this time, having struggled a few times to no avail, she simply gave up.

Following Yu Xiuzhun’s steps, she quickly left the hotel.

...

At the airport.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, a lively scene.

The warm sunlight shone on the transparent glass lenses, refracting a spectrum of colors.

Sitting in the waiting lounge, Ye Mingmei absentmindedly picked at her fingernails, counting the time.

They arrived just over ten minutes early. The VIP channel doesn’t require queuing, and boarding early just meant sitting there, which was no more comfortable than sitting in the lounge.

But sitting together with Yu Xiuzhun, even a minute felt extraordinarily long.

Her eyes fixed on her fingers, while her ears were perked up, always waiting for the boarding announcement.

Instead of a broadcast and guiding flight attendants, she was met with an unexpected person.

"Senior..."

Ye Mingmei was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the person who appeared before her.

After realizing it wasn’t her imagination, her face went pale, and she nervously grasped her skirt.

Jin Chenye, in a white casual outfit, had a natural figure and a faint melancholic aura that made him stand out like Prince Charming from a fairy tale wherever he went.

On his handsome face, there wasn’t any extra expression, but his gaze darkened upon seeing Yu Xiuzhun standing beside Ye Mingmei.

The gaze between the two men collided in the air, sparking a brief flash.

In just a second, it was quickly concealed.

Both returned to calm, casually turning their gaze away.

"What a coincidence, I booked a ticket on this flight too."

Jin Chenye stepped forward, stopping in front of Ye Mingmei, his gentle eyes flickered as he softly spoke.

"..."

Ye Mingmei’s face had lost all color, filled with the guilt and unease of a lie.

She bowed her head, not daring to meet Jin Chenye’s eyes.

"I’m sorry..."
