"Ji Yan, what do you mean by this? You don't want to marry him yourself, so you won't even let your sister marry him?"

"We'll handle Yingying's and my wedding ourselves, so don't worry about it. I'm going back to the company; Yingying is waiting for me to have lunch."

Ji Ming raised his hand, wanting to scold him a few more times, but to his surprise, he turned around and left without even pausing.

His hand remained awkwardly suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to vent his anger.

"Alright, you blind fools, you can't even understand Yan'er's words, yet you have the nerve to blame him."

The usually silent Madam Ji suddenly uttered something that left them even more baffled.

She could tell that Yan'er's expression softened considerably when he mentioned Yingying; he clearly cared about her.

That's fine too. The Ji family is already at the top, so they don't need to form marriage alliances with other families. Rather than marrying Yingying off, it's better to keep her by our side.

"Mom, what do you mean by that?" Ji Ming still didn't understand her meaning and asked again.

The old lady chuckled, clearly in a good mood. "Do you think Yan'er and Yingying look well-matched?"

"Mom." Ji Ming suddenly raised his voice. Had he misheard? "Yingying is my daughter, how can this be?"

"Why not? Yingying isn't your biological daughter. Besides, don't you want to keep her at home? Once she's married off, she'll belong to someone else's family."

“I agree with this.” Anhe indicated her acceptance of the relationship between Ji Yan and Ji Fuying. If this matter could really come to fruition, that would be even better.

Even if a daughter who has been cherished since childhood is married off, there will be concerns about whether she will have a good life in her husband's family. It would be better to keep her at home so that she can be both a daughter and a daughter-in-law.

After considering it for a long time, the old man finally nodded in agreement, saying, "As long as the young people like it, we shouldn't interfere."

Ji Fuying was unaware that her relationship with Ji Yan had been exposed to her family. At that moment, she was still in the president's office waiting for lunch.

"Han Xiao, where has your CEO been slacking off? I'm starving!" She couldn't wait any longer; her stomach was already protesting.

"Eat first when you're hungry, don't wait for me." Ji Yan, who was walking to the door, happened to hear Ji Fuying's complaint.

"Hmm, where did you go?" Ji Fuying asked Ji Yan, who sat down next to her, while shoveling rice into her mouth.

"I went back to the old house to talk to my family about some important things."

Ji Fuying immediately stopped eating and discussed something important, "What happened to the Ji family?"

She needs to go back and discuss it with her grandfather and the others. It's definitely a major issue that even Ji Yan can't resolve, but she's never heard of it. He's a general manager, after all.

"What are you thinking about? It's a private matter." Ji Yan tapped her forehead with clean chopsticks.

Let's not tell her yet, lest she get uncontrollably nervous and scared.

I wonder if those old-fashioned folks have figured it out yet. If they have, they should probably start preparing for the wedding now.

"Yingying, I'm going to Country C in a few days. Let's get married when I get back, okay?"

"Huh? What?" Ji Fuying was a little confused. What did he just say?

Ji Yan took the chopsticks from her hand, gently pressed down on her body, and asked in an extremely seductive voice, "Don't you want to marry me?"

"No, I think... I am thinking about it." Actually, she wasn't sure either, but there was no doubt that she loved Ji Yan.

But for some reason, she always felt that what Ji Yan was hiding from her would affect their future. Could she agree to that?

"Ji Fuying, you'd better explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'should'?" Ji Yan's expression was rather unpleasant. Did this little woman not have any intention of marrying him?

"Let's talk about it when you get back. You want me to marry you without even proposing? You're dreaming."

"So that's what you meant. Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise later."

The two spent three days together, and on this day, Ji Yan was finally going to Country C.

At the airport, Ji Fuying, fully masked and hatted, stood at the boarding gate, letting Ji Yan hold her tightly.

"You must be careful when I'm not around, and keep your gun with you at all times. I'll take responsibility if anything happens. Also, don't overwork yourself."

“I’ve written it all down. If you don’t leave now, the plane will be leaving soon.”

After the plane took off, Ji Fuying returned to the company. Not long after she arrived at her office, Yun Yao came to find her.

"Fuying, I've completed the onboarding process."

Looking at her name tag, Ji Fuying was also very happy for her. "Welcome to the Ji Group. From now on, we will not only be friends but also colleagues."

"Well, I just came up to let you know. I'm going back to work now."

Yun Yao returned to the design department. She had always studied design, so she was very satisfied with this job.

Because she was very sweet-talking and good at talking, she quickly became friends with her colleagues.

"Have you all heard? The Lu family issued a missing person notice this morning."

“I saw it too. I heard they’re looking for their daughter who went missing twenty years ago.”

"I really don't know which woman is so lucky. Returning to the Lu family is like a meteoric rise for her."

Yun Yao listened quietly to their discussion. Yes, who would be so lucky?
