Grandma Xiao stopped mentioning the Wen family and inquired about Wen Lu's studies and future plans, wanting to know if Wen Lu had any intention of studying abroad.

“Wen Lu, Grandma hopes you can go abroad for treatment. Grandma heard that there is a medical research institute in M ​​Continent. It just so happens that Xiao Ran is currently in the top concert hall in M ​​Continent. If you go there, Xiao Ran can take care of you.”

Wen Lu was quite surprised to hear that Xiao Ran had actually entered the top concert hall in M ​​Continent. She knew that Xiao Ran was good at playing the piano, but a top concert hall was not a place that could be entered casually. Did Xiao Ran just get lucky?

“I am just Mr. Robert’s assistant at the top concert hall. I am not qualified enough to perform in the concert hall.”

Xiao Ran met Wen Lu's gaze and told him the truth about her situation. She knew Wen Lu's abilities and strength, and there was no need to lie to him. She was afraid that Wen Lu would look down on her even more.

Upon hearing the name Robert, Wen Lu nodded slightly. If Xiao Ran was Robert's assistant, then it was understandable that he could get into a top-tier concert hall.

"Then congratulations to you. Master Robert is always very strict. There must be something about you that he appreciates about you to be able to become his assistant."

Wen Lu had a warm smile on her face, which made Xiao Ran a little lost in thought. He had never known that Wen Lu's smile could be so bright.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart involuntarily ached, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something. He really regretted it so much. It was all his fault for misjudging people and mistaking a fish eye for a pearl, and missing out on such a good girl as Wen Lu.

"Thank you. I hope you can consider what Grandma said."

"No need, I have my own plans. Grandma, it's getting late, we'll head back now."

As she spoke, Wen Lu took Wang Jinyu's hand and stood up. If it were just a simple chat, Wen Lu might have been willing to sit a little longer, but now she had absolutely no intention of continuing the conversation with them.

Seeing Wen Lu's resistance, Old Madam Xiao smiled gently and said nothing more, simply instructing the housekeeper to see them out.

After leaving the Xiao family, Wang Jinyu would often glance at Wen Lu. Wen Lu was playing games with her head down, just like before. For a moment, Wang Jinyu hoped that he was just overthinking things.

After Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu returned home, Gu Yao pulled Wen Lu back to her bedroom and placed her phone in Wen Lu's hand.

"There are some listings about Mingyunzhou on the black market recently. Take a look, are you interested..."

“I don’t have time to take orders recently. I have to go back to F Continent with Wang Jinyu. If you are interested, I think this order is worth taking.”

Wen Lu spoke with a smile on her face, and for some reason Gu Yao had a feeling that she had fallen into a trap.

"Phantom, I remember you once said that you came from Mingyun Continent. So, are you not planning to get involved in the affairs of Mingyun Continent this time?"

Gu Yao spoke tentatively, not to test Wen Lu's thoughts, but to see if this was something Wen Lu wanted her to do.

Everyone wants to explore that mysterious place. If Wen Lu is willing, she is willing to go to Mingyun Continent. However, if Wen Lu does not want them to interfere in the affairs of Mingyun Continent, she can suppress her curiosity.

“Go ahead, we can take this order in Mingyun Continent. I think we can take Qi Nian and the others with us and take this opportunity to bring the Shadow Alliance’s strength to Mingyun Continent.”

As Gu Yao listened to Wen Lu's words, she unconsciously glanced at Wen Lu. Wen Lu used to hate anything related to Mingyun Continent, but today's attitude seemed very unusual. Gu Yao looked at Wen Lu uncertainly.

"Boss, are you serious about what you said today?"

"Of course, Mingyun Continent is an unknown territory for us. If we have the opportunity to develop in Mingyun Continent, it would be a great opportunity for the Shadow Alliance."

Listening to Wen Lu's words, Gu Yao didn't know why, but she actually felt that Wen Lu was right.

"Boss, I'm not very educated, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Wen Lu casually picked up a bottle of water from the side, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and smiled gently.

"Aren't you well-read? You're clearly tempted, so why don't you trust your own decision? Gu Yao, this is your decision. This is the best opportunity for the Shadow Alliance to grow stronger."

Wen Lu's last words gave Gu Yao the determination to take action. Gu Yao looked at Wen Lu and raised an eyebrow.

"I also think this is a good opportunity. I'll go back to M Continent tomorrow to find Qi Nian, and together we'll take this opportunity to venture into Mingyun Continent."

Wen Lu looked at Gu Yao's confident demeanor, chuckled, and then nodded.

"I believe you can do it."

After speaking, Wen Lu gave Gu Yao a complete plan. Gu Yao listened to Wen Lu's plan with amazement, but she did not realize that this plan was something Wen Lu had already designed long ago.

The next morning, Wang Jinyu placed the medicine that Yan Luo had prepared for Wen Lu in front of her. Wen Lu blinked her big eyes at Wang Jinyu, her eyes full of doubt.

"Didn't you say you were going out? Why are you giving me medicine? If I feel unwell after taking it, it will affect our plans."

"It's alright, your health is more important. We'll set off after you take your medicine. You can take a nap on the plane, and by the time you wake up, the effects of the medicine will have worn off, so it won't delay your trip."

As Wen Lu listened to Wang Jinyu's plan, she narrowed her eyes slightly. She seemed to sense Wang Jinyu's scheme. She reached out and grabbed Wang Jinyu's collar, pulling him directly in front of her.

"You're trying to scheme against me?"

"Why would I scheme against you? Wen Lu, I'm genuinely worried about your health!"

Wang Jinyu looked intently at Wen Lu, his dark and deep eyes revealing no trace of scheming. Wen Lu took the pills Wang Jinyu handed her and swallowed them without hesitation.

After Wen Lu finished taking her medicine, Wang Jinyu took Wen Lu and Wang Xiuli and their group off a few days later. On the way, Wen Lu became more and more drowsy. She leaned against Wang Jinyu, lazily yawned, and then complained to Wang Jinyu.

"I told you I wouldn't take the medicine. Yan Luo's dosage was just too high. I'm already feeling dizzy right after taking it. I probably won't even make it to the airport."

Wang Jinyu reached out and pulled Wen Lu into his arms, and then Wen Lu nestled against his chest.

"It's okay, I'll carry you when we get off the bus. You go to sleep first."

Wang Jinyu's voice was gentle, and before long Wen Lu had fallen into a deep sleep. Wang Jinyu's gaze towards Wen Lu changed from deep affection to cold indifference.
