"Then be careful and let me know in advance when you come back."

The smile on Lin Qingtong's face vanished immediately after the call ended.

Huo Cheng is still putting on an act; they've already left the tour group and probably returned home a long time ago.

The time difference between China and other countries is different. It should still be dark abroad, but he said it was getting late and he should rest.

Most importantly, her maternal grandfather had passed away long ago, and her mother's cooperation in speaking meant that she was in a dangerous situation.

Lin Qingtong didn't know whether to call Huo Cheng smart or stupid; she thought others wouldn't see through him.

With a click, Shen Tinghe walked out of the bathroom, wiping the water droplets from his head as he asked a question.

Who were you talking to on the phone just now?

The coldness on Lin Qingtong's face dissipated, and she answered with a smile.

“Call my mom.”

Shen Tinghe couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "Is Auntie alright?"

Lin Qingtong just nodded haphazardly, because her mind was in turmoil.

"Alright, let's get some rest. We have things to do at the company tomorrow."

Shen Tinghe didn't ask any further questions, but just thought to himself.

They probably misunderstood something; Su Wanjun was not arrested.

He lay down on the bed and gently embraced Lin Qingtong, who turned her head and looked intently at Shen Tinghe.

"I just received news that I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. I'll miss you a little."

Shen Tinghe immediately understood Lin Qingtong's meaning, pulled her over, and gently covered her with his body.

The lingering scent of the shower gel still clung to Shen Tinghe, engulfing her like a tidal wave.

After a night of passion, Lin Qingtong got up early the next morning to take a shower and change her clothes.

When Shen Tinghe woke up, Lin Qingtong had already packed her suitcase.

She leaned down slightly and kissed Shen Tinghe on the forehead, gently tapping his nose with her finger.

"Be good at home, I'll be back in a few days."

Shen Tinghe held Lin Qingtong's hand, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"How about I go with you?"
