Chu Wuyang urged Yun Yang to finalize the time as soon as possible, and Yun Yang responded with slight hesitation, saying that she would arrange it.

Fortunately, she eventually agreed, and Chu Wuyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When I got off work, the driver was already waiting at the company gate.

As she walked toward the car, her gaze unconsciously swept around, and she was slightly taken aback—Jing Min hadn't come.

Although his presence or absence should have had no impact on her.

But thinking of the awkward situation last night, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on her bag.

What should she do if he makes those overly intimate requests again tonight?

Just as I was pondering this, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

She glanced down at the screen and saw it was Jing Min.

Chu Wuyang subconsciously tensed up, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she almost missed the call.

She glanced up at the driver, then took a deep breath, feigning composure as she pressed the answer button, her voice steady and natural:

"Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Jing Min's deep, clear voice came through the airwaves, carrying his usual nonchalant tone:

"It's me."

Chu Wuyang raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, and replied calmly:

"I knew it was you."

Jing Min seemed amused by her reaction, chuckled softly, and said in a slightly teasing tone:

"I had a last-minute business trip and couldn't pick you up, don't be angry."

Chu Wuyang was stunned.

Her fingertips unconsciously tapped the phone case, and she raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Huh? A last-minute business trip?"

What a coincidence!

On the night she was wondering how to deal with him, he just happened to be away.

She hadn't had time to sort out her thoughts.

Jingmin on the other end of the phone had already noticed her subtle pause.

His voice turned slightly cooler, and he asked meaningfully:

"What? Are you happy or disappointed?"

Chu Wuyang's heart tightened.

Realizing her reaction might have been too obvious, she quickly adjusted her tone and said with a smile:

"Of course I'm disappointed!"

"But work is the most important thing,"

“I told you before, you don’t need to pick me up or drop me off.”

"Anyway, you can go on your business trip with peace of mind. I will take good care of myself."

She spoke casually and naturally, as if she genuinely understood his work arrangements.

"By the way! What time does the plane take off?"

Jing Min replied in a emotionless voice:

"It's going to take off soon..."

Chu Wuyang said:

"Oh! Then let's not say any more. Everything is fine!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the phone before his soft voice came through.

"You sound a bit hypocritical!"

"If I didn't know you, I would have really thought you were just eager for me to leave."

Chu Wuyang's hand holding the phone froze for a moment, then she realized what was happening and echoed his sentiment.

"Luckily, you understand me,"

There was another moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

A moment later,

Jingmin asked in a low voice:

"By the way, aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?"

Chu Wuyang was slightly taken aback, blinked, and casually asked in return:

Where are you going?

Jingmin's voice was low and calm:

"T country."

He even gave me the exact address.

Chu Wuyang subconsciously searched her mind for recent news about this country, and then, after thinking of something,

His brow furrowed unconsciously, and he muttered to himself:

"It seems like it's quite dangerous there lately."

Her voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself, but Jingmin accurately caught the meaning of her words of concern.

He paused, then chuckled softly, a hint of pleasure in his voice:

"It seems you still hope for my well-being; you wouldn't want me to go and never come back, would you?"

Chu Wuyang's heartbeat suddenly slowed down.

His grip on the phone tightened slightly, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of displeasure:

"Don't talk nonsense."

Jing Min seemed surprised by her sudden seriousness; her light laughter paused for a moment before she regained her composure.

"Okay, I won't say."

Chu Wuyang's expression softened, and her tone became gentle:

Take care.

Jing Min's voice was low and ambiguous: "Hmm."

Two seconds later, the call was disconnected and the screen went dark.

Chu Wuyang held her phone, her fingertips gently stroking the screen, her mind churning with thoughts.

Jingmin is away on a business trip. Could this be considered an opportunity?

Previously, perhaps because of her presence, Jing Min had always been somewhat wary and had restrained his feelings for Yun Yang.

But if emotions are real, how can they be suppressed forever?

Moreover, Yun Yang offered herself to him that night, and even though he knew it was inappropriate, he still chose to go along with it and afterwards acted as if nothing had happened.

So, what if Yunyang takes the initiative to go to him?

In a foreign land, far from all constraints, if you truly yearn for it, you will have no more worries.

In that kind of atmosphere, wouldn't it be easier for the two of them to spark something special?

Once the emotions are fully ignited, he might not delay any longer when he returns to China, and might even be eager to confront her directly.

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyang's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had made a decision.

Without giving it any further thought, she quickly returned home and immediately dialed Yunyang's number.

Sure enough, the phone rang for a long time before being answered.

Yun Yang answered the call slowly as always, but at least he didn't deliberately avoid her.

After all—she'd already stepped into this game, there was no reason for her to back down now. And she wouldn't let her back down.

On the other end of the phone, Yun Yang's tone was calm and unhurried, with a hint of certainty, as if she had already expected her call:
