Chapter 233 I'm afraid you're too tired

The journey home is always something to look forward to, especially when someone at home has prepared a meal and is waiting for you to come back.

Unlike the agony she felt during her last flight, Lin Yan'an felt incredibly excited this time.

It felt as if even the plane was moving much faster.

The plane landed in Kyoto very quickly.

As soon as I stepped off the plane, the familiar atmosphere of that northern city instantly enveloped me.

The biting cold wind couldn't dispel the warmth in Zhong Wan and Lin Yan'an's hearts as they longed to return home.

Su Mu also needed to return to the institute, so he took his leave first.

It's true that she needs to protect Zhong Wan at all times, but she also has time to rest, her own shifts and holidays. Moreover, during the upcoming Spring Festival, Zhong Wan's main activities will be in Yunshan City, and someone else will take over her work, so she should relax a bit.

Su Mu decisively took his leave: "Wanwan, Mr. Lin, I need to go back to my unit to report for duty and hand over my work."

She paused, then looked at Zhong Wan: "Wanwan, other colleagues will be responsible for your safety during the Spring Festival. Don't worry, even without close protection, there will be people around, so your safety won't be a problem. I wish you a happy new year in advance."

Zhong Wan was already very grateful to Su Mu for her dutiful protection, so she replied sincerely, "Su Mu, you've worked hard these past few days. I wish you a happy new year and a good rest."

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Su Mu."

Lin Yan'an also expressed his sincere gratitude. After all, with her by his side and protecting Zhong Wan, Lin Yan'an felt much more at ease.

Su Mu nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and left briskly, his figure quickly disappearing into the crowd.

After saying goodbye to Su Mu and collecting their luggage, Lin Yan'an glanced at his phone and said, "Yanzhou is already in the parking lot. Let's go over there."

"Uh-huh."

Zhong Wan nodded quickly.

It's a pity there are no direct flights to Yunshan City, otherwise the two of them could have saved a lot of trouble.

The high-speed rail from Kyoto to there is convenient, but it doesn't go directly to Zhong Wan's doorstep, and it would take several hours to travel back and forth. All things considered, it's really not as good as the two of them driving back now.

Therefore, Lin Yan'an had already arranged for his assistant, Cheng Yanzhou, to wait there.

The two walked side by side to the parking lot and saw a familiar figure.

Cheng Yanzhou was rushing towards them with the keys in his hand.

Upon seeing the two, a smile instantly appeared on his lips: "Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, you must be tired from your journey."

As he spoke, he reached out and took the suitcase from Zhong Wan's hands.

"Yanzhou, have you been waiting long?"

Lin Yan'an reached out and patted his shoulder: "It's the New Year, and you still made this trip. You must be tired."

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. It's what I should do."

Cheng Yanzhou smiled and shook his head. After all, there was a delivery fee, so why not come?

Seeing Lin Yan'an and the other person smiling, he became even happier and asked considerately, "The car is ready. Do you need me to take you back?"

As they talked, they pushed their suitcases to the car and put their luggage in the trunk.

"No need, we can drive back ourselves."

After saying that, Lin Yan'an reached out and took the keys from Cheng Yanzhou, and thoughtfully arranged, "It's getting late, I'll call a car for you to go back."

He picked up his phone as he spoke.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yanzhou quickly declined, saying, "President Lin, no need. My girlfriend has also driven here."

Lin Yan'an paused in his work upon hearing this, and couldn't help but smile as he looked at Cheng Yanzhou: "Alright then, take care on your way back."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, don't worry."

Cheng Yanzhou smiled at Lin Yan'an and Zhong Wan and sincerely wished them a Happy New Year in advance.

Thank you, and Happy New Year to you all.

Zhong Wan responded with a smile, and Lin Yan'an nodded in return.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Yanzhou, the two turned around and got back into the car.

Lin Yan'an got into the driver's seat, Zhong Wan held his clothes, and Zhong Suisui, who was still fast asleep in his pocket, sat in the passenger seat.

The car started and slowly drove out of the airport, merging into the evening traffic of Kyoto.

Unlike the dazzling neon lights of big cities, the closer you get to Yunshan City, the more mountains appear along the highway. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhong Wan felt it was becoming increasingly familiar.

Zhong Wan glanced at the navigation, then at Lin Yan'an.

The car was dimly lit, and she couldn't see his expression, but that didn't stop her from putting herself in his shoes.

The two had been rushing for a whole day, and even she, the passenger, was feeling tired, let alone him, who was driving.

Zhong Wan said very considerately, "Take a break at the service station later. I'll drive, and you can rest too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an glanced at Zhong Wan. In the dim light, his eyes remained gentle yet firm: "No need, I'm not tired."

"And the thought of getting home soon gives me a lot of energy."

"That won't work either, your body isn't made of iron,"

Zhong Wan's attitude was firm: "Besides, long-distance driving makes it easy to get sleepy, and it's still at night, so don't push yourself."

Lin Yan'an sensed the persistence in her words and knew that she was worried about him, which warmed her heart even more.

He smiled and conceded, "Okay, I'll do as you say. You can drive the next service station."

After saying that, he quickly added, "But if you get tired, switch back immediately. Don't push yourself."

"Don't worry, don't you know how good I am at driving?"

Zhong Wan shrugged and chuckled, "I learned that through real-world experience. When I was working at the school, if I was unhappy or on a whim, I would just grab my car keys and go home after they finished their self-study session."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an immediately became interested and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What time do you guys finish self-study?"

Zhong Wan glanced at her phone: "9:30. It's already 9 o'clock, so there's not much difference."

"So late?"

"Yes, and the way home is a mountain road, you know that."

Zhong Wan spoke casually, but Lin Yan'an couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder,"

Thinking of the rugged mountain road that winds around the mountains,

Lin Yan'an truly gained a new understanding of her courage.

She looks aloof, but is gentle in person. How could she be so bold!

but……

He turned and glanced at Zhong Wan, then asked curiously, "Driving home so late at night, don't your parents say anything?"

"How could that be? They would have said it later, even if they hadn't!"

Zhong Wan pouted: "At first, I would go home late at night without saying goodbye, and they would worry about me. They didn't have time to scold me, but my parents will definitely settle scores with me later."

"Later on, after it happened so many times, my parents probably got tired of saying it. Anyway, I wouldn't listen anyway."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but laugh.

A deep, sexy laugh echoed inside the car.

Lin Yan'an could almost picture Zhong Wan's somewhat rebellious yet self-righteous demeanor.

She was completely different from the person he usually saw, but he felt that Zhong Wan was more vibrant and adorable.

"I never expected Wanwan to have such a... well, cute side."

He joked with a smile.

Zhong Wan snorted lightly, her tone tinged with smugness: "That's right, you can't judge a book by its cover, so President Lin, you can rest assured and hand the steering wheel to me now, right? I'll definitely get you home safely and securely!"

"Of course you can rest assured."

Lin Yan'an actually admired Zhong Wan's driving skills.

And what he was worried about was never her driving skills, but rather... that she would get tired.

Even if Zhong Wan rested on the plane during the eight-hour flight, she would immediately continue her journey after landing.

He was genuinely worried that Zhong Wan's body wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Wanwan, you know, what I'm worried about is never your driving skills,"

Lin Yan'an said whatever he was thinking.

He glanced at Zhong Wan with concern and continued, "You've been running around all day, and you've only recently recovered. I'm worried you're overworking yourself."

That was true, and Zhong Wan was very happy to hear it.

However, she couldn't help but correct her, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy!"

What do you mean "not long ago"? He's already finished writing the script and filmed more than half of it!

She's fully recovered!
