Fang Jingyao was about to leave the country, so after dinner he went to see Ye Suidong. Ye Suidong's mother was studying abroad, and he would be attending primary school there as well. He estimated that Ye Suidong wouldn't be able to come back often until his mother graduated with her master's degree.

Having nothing else to give, Fang Jingyao simply gave Ye Suidong the pocket money he had saved up over the years.

Lately, Ye Suidong's mother has been going out to gamble frequently and has also been cutting back on Ye Suidong's money. Overall, Ye Suidong's situation is much more difficult than his, and he can help as much as he can.

Ye Suidong didn't say much, only asking, "How long are you going to stay?"

Fang Jingyao: "Maybe three years, I don't know."

Fang Jingyao handed over the red envelope in his hand. Knowing that it wasn't very convenient for Ye Suidong to use online payment at his age, Fang Jingyao exchanged his pocket money for cash and gave it to Ye Suidong.

Ye Suidong accepted it: "Thank you, take care."

Fang Jingyao nodded and smiled: "You too."

After watching Fang Jingyao get into the car and leave, Ye Suidong stood in the shadows for a long time until the black car was no longer visible. Only then did Ye Suidong hide the red envelope in his pocket and turn to go home.

The plan was originally in place, but after Shen Jingshao returned home that evening, some things happened at the company, so he had to postpone his trip for two days.

In fact, Wen Yixing wasn't worried about going abroad. Shen Jingshao had already arranged for someone to pick her up at the airport. She had also consulted with her teachers and friends about some precautions. After a year of study, she could speak a little French, so she had no problem with daily communication.

Seeing that Shen Jingshao was in a bad mood during the meeting with a sullen face, Wen Yixing knew he was in a bad mood, so she made a fruit platter and brought it to him.

Shortly after he finished cooking, Shen Jingshao shut down his computer.

Wen Yixing sat down next to him and looked at him: "Are you angry?"

Shen Jingshao held her hand and said in a low voice, "Something came up at the company, and I'll be gone for a few days."

Wen Yixing: "It's okay, I'll go first, you can come over when you're done. Anyway, school doesn't start until the end of the month, so I won't have anything to do when I get there."

Shen Jingshao: "Remember to call me after you get off the plane."

After saying that, Shen Jingshao opened his phone and sent her the photo: "This is the housekeeper I arranged, don't mistake her for someone else."

In addition to arranging three people to pick them up at the airport, Shen Jingshao also arranged six bodyguards. After all, it was their first time going abroad, and Shen Jingshao couldn't bear to be there; he was always worried.

After seeing the photos, Wen Yixing was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the spectacle.

There's really no need for this, but if she refuses, Shen Jingshao will inevitably worry.

Oh well, let it be.

Wen Yixing accepted all of Shen Jingshao's arrangements without any objection, which made Shen Jingshao look happier.

Wen Yixing had booked a flight at 9:30 a.m. After packing their things in the morning, Shen Jingshao took them to the airport.

Because of some traffic congestion on the way, there was a bit of a rush when they arrived at the airport, so Shen Jingshao arranged for his company assistant to go to France with them.

When the moment of parting finally arrived, Shen Jingshao still felt a little reluctant. Although he knew they would be able to meet again in just two days, the disruption to their original plans still made him somewhat unhappy.

They could have gone together.

Wen Yixing noticed Shen Jingshao's emotions.

Before leaving, she gently tugged at Shen Jingshao's hand and reassured him, "I'll send you a message as soon as I get here."

Shen Jingshao nodded: "Mm."

Wen Yixing smiled at him and said, "It's alright, don't worry."

With her assistant leading the way, Wen Yixing had a much easier time boarding the plane smoothly, and then sent a message to Shen Jingshao.

Shen Jingshao left the airport only after receiving the message.

Not long after he went out, Shen Jingshao saw Fang Shiyan rushing over.

When Fang Shiyan saw that Shen Jingshao was not by her side, he knew that he had arrived too late.

Fang Shiyan has been frequently hospitalized in the past few months, and his health does not seem to be very good.

Since Shen Jingshao made his relationship with Wen Yixing clear to Fang Shiyan, they have hardly communicated at all.

Fang Shiyan looked at Shen Jingshao, his pale lips parted slightly, and he asked softly, "Where is she going?"

Because he couldn't go with them, Shen Jingshao was already in a bad mood. Now that he saw Fang Shiyan here, he was even less likely to give Fang Shiyan a good look.

A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Jingshao's eyes as he asked expressionlessly, "What does this have to do with you?"
