"Mr. Yu, what a coincidence to see you here. I’m taking Mingmei away, you don’t mind, do you?" Qin Youxuan’s bright feline eyes carried a hint of chill.

The words that came out did not carry even a hint of inquiry, it was certain that she would take the person away.

"Of course not, if I want to see her, I’ll arrange it separately." Yu Xiuzhun flashed a devilish smile, and as Qin Youxuan appeared, he glanced meaningfully at Ye Mingmei’s face and then looked at Jin Chenye.

With hands in pockets, he stepped into the car and disappeared from the airport in the blink of an eye.

"Senior, are you really not coming back with us for a meal?" Ye Mingmei, relieved after Yu Xiuzhun left, looked at Jin Chenye and asked with concern.

"I actually have something to do. You two haven’t seen each other in a while, you must have a lot to talk about. I’ll head back to work for now, and I’ll treat you both to a meal another day." Jin Chenye responded with a gentle smile, shifting his gaze from Ye Mingmei to glance at Qin Youxuan beside her.

His eyes glimmered briefly, and then he turned to get into the car as well.

"Let’s go too, otherwise we might get anxious." Qin Youxuan watched Jin Chenye’s figure disappear, then pulled Ye Mingmei towards her car.

She put the luggage in the trunk and soon left the airport, heading in the direction of the Ye Family Villa.

"I didn’t tell you I was coming back today, how did you know?" Ye Mingmei fastened her seatbelt and stared woodenly at the road ahead.

"My brother told me in advance. He knew you might be with Yu Xiuzhun, and Yu Xiuzhun definitely wouldn’t allow him to escort you. He was uneasy about letting you leave alone with Yu Xiuzhun, so he informed me. It just so happened that I was free, so I came back to the Ye Family to have dinner with you and Ru."

While driving, Qin Youxuan turned to glance at Ye Mingmei.

"What’s wrong? You seem a bit down."

"..."

Upon hearing it was Jin Chenye who informed her, Ye Mingmei bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Have you been in contact all along?"

"What?" Qin Youxuan slowed down, looking at Ye Mingmei in confusion.

"After I left America, have you been in contact with the senior?" Ye Mingmei gripped the seatbelt, turned her head, and looked steadily at Qin Youxuan.

"I met the senior on the plane to Paris, I always thought it was a coincidence." Ye Mingmei left her sentence unfinished, lowering her head looking somewhat desolate.

"The senior taking care of me in Paris, it was your instruction, wasn’t it? And matters regarding work..."

"Swoosh——"

Qin Youxuan pulled the steering wheel, and the car abruptly stopped by the roadside.

She killed the engine and turned to look at Ye Mingmei.

"I admit, I deliberately adjusted the timing of the collaboration project negotiations. I wasn’t comfortable with you leaving alone, thinking if I could let my brother bump into you, maybe when you’re feeling down you’d have someone to talk to, but he absolutely knew nothing about it."

Qin Youxuan narrowed her feline eyes, realizing that even Ye Mingmei had figured it out, perhaps Jin Chenye had guessed it too.

"I meddled this time, my intention was hoping you both could give each other a chance. Other than arranging for my brother to be on the same flight as you, I truly don’t know a thing about what happened in Paris."

"...You really don’t know?"

Ye Mingmei blinked, looking at her in surprise.

"Mingmei, my brother is not someone who would trade feelings for benefits. If he’s willing to take care of you, it’s definitely not just because of me. Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe in your own charm."
