"...What do you mean?"

Ye Mingmei grasped the armrest with both hands, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

"You should be asking yourself this. Didn’t you say you came to Paris for work? But if I remember correctly, I found out that Qin Youxuan only booked one ticket through her assistant. How did you meet Jin Chenye? Still unclear?"

Yu Xiuzhun stared at her intently, noticing Ye Mingmei’s shocked look, and satisfactorily hid his gaze.

Leaning back on his chair, he closed his eyes to rest.

Leaving Ye Mingmei in a daze, staring blankly ahead.

Across a few rows, she looked at Jin Chenye’s handsome silhouette.

Their encounter was not coincidental at all, but deliberately arranged by someone.

Does Jin Chenye know?

If he does, does it mean his care for her is all because of Qin Youxuan?

Because of the woman he loves.

Ye Mingmei shook her head, trying not to overthink.

She raised her head, meeting Jin Chenye’s gaze.

After just a second of eye contact, Jin Chenye stood up from his seat.

He walked toward Ye Mingmei.

Stopped in front of her.

"I’m switching seats with you." Jin Chenye glanced at Yu Xiuzhun next to her, his lips slightly parted.

"..."

Ye Mingmei was stunned for a moment, then decisively agreed, stood up, and moved to Jin Chenye’s seat.

By the time Yu Xiuzhun reacted and wanted to stop her, Jin Chenye had already sat in Ye Mingmei’s seat.

"Mr. Yu, it’s better to stay calm; we’re on a plane, and if anything goes wrong, we’re dying together." Jin Chenye turned his head, glancing at him coldly.

"..."

Yu Xiuzhun didn’t expect Jin Chenye to pull such a stunt, he glanced at Ye Mingmei, who was already sitting in his seat, his mischievous eyes squinting slightly.

"It doesn’t matter; there’s nothing to do on a plane anyway."

Yu Xiuzhun raised an eyebrow with hidden meaning, seeing Jin Chenye’s expression darken momentarily, he was satisfied when he hid his gaze, continuing his pretend nap.

Sitting together, the surrounding air pressure dropped.

Ye Mingmei sat not far away, constantly glancing towards them, fearing they might start a fight.

Luckily, after watching for a long time, they merely stared at each other without any physical confrontation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Thus, they arrived in Washington peacefully.

As they disembarked, cars came for both sides.

"I’ll take you home."

"I’ll take you home."

Yu Xiuzhun and Jin Chenye spoke simultaneously, glaring at each other.

The same fierce aura appeared on both, neither willing to back down.

"Mingmei!"

A crisp voice came from a distance.

Ye Mingmei was slightly startled, following the sound and saw Qin Youxuan waving to her outside the airport, "Sis."

"I knew you were coming back, and it happened I was free, so I came to pick you up. Ru is aware you’re coming home today and has prepared many of your favorite foods." Qin Youxuan got out of the car, walked to Ye Mingmei, and warmly took her hand.

She pulled Ye Mingmei from between the two men to her side.

She looked up, smiling brightly at Jin Chenye, "Brother, would you like to join us for a meal?"

"No, I have a report to organize, maybe another day." Jin Chenye glanced at Qin Youxuan, smiling while politely declining.

Qin Youxuan nodded, not insisting, and having gotten Jin Chenye’s refusal, she looked at Yu Xiuzhun.
