Lan Jingyan had a sudden inspiration.

"Then next time, next time it's your turn to kiss me. It's getting late, it's time for dinner, let me take you to eat something delicious."

Yan Xiluo is the easiest to coax; as long as there's food, she can be appeased.

Lan Jingyan has always been very patient with her.

"But they're still here, so... should we run away?"

Yan Xiluo was really hungry; she didn't know how long she would have had to chat with them in the past.

"Huh? The captains of both teams are telling their subordinates to run away?"

That sounds good, it's a fresh idea.

"Look how excited they are. Do you think they'll let us go later?"

She had just witnessed their gossiping prowess, both men and women were equally adept at it...

"I don't mind, I'm just worried you'll be hungry. Let's go, and as compensation, I'll reimburse them for their expenses and treat them to a meal and entertainment later?"

He hasn't been to the convoy for a long time, and today he finally showed up without saying goodbye. He should be compensated in some way.

"That's fine, after all, it would be a bit unethical to abandon them and run away."

She had just thought the same thing, and the next second Lan Jingyan brought it up, showing a certain tacit understanding between them.

"Luckily, our cars were close together."

Lan Jingyan grabbed Yan Xiluo and ran, a move that left both teams bewildered.

Are the two captains going to run away? Abandoning us to go on a date?

Waaah! Our beloved Luo Ye has been kidnapped...

We haven't received any confirmation from them personally that they're together yet.

Is it possible that Master Yan and Master Luo think we're too gossipy?

Wait! Luo Ye said our two teams are having a get-together tonight—dinner and karaoke together, and Yan Ye will cover the expenses!

One of the team members was the first to notice Yan Xiluo's message in the group chat and excitedly shouted.

[I saw it too. They said the vice-captains of both teams would organize it; from now on, we're all one family.]

At first, everyone looked disappointed when they saw the two escape and drive away, but now their faces have finally shown some joy.

Led by their vice-captains, the two teams booked a private room for a meal together, which was how they officially got to know each other.

next day

Luo Yan Apartment

As usual, the two of them got up on time.

"Ayan, I want to go to the nameless island and check things out."

That day, while resolving the hacking incident at the Yan Group, she conveniently located the attacker and confirmed that Yu was the culprit. She became even more curious about Yu than before.

She later told Lan Jingyan about it, and originally planned to go and investigate again after a while, but now she always felt uneasy.

I always wanted to explore in advance, preferably to infiltrate the interior, lie in wait for a while, and see Yu's true face.

"today?"

Lan Jingyan had some questions; he hadn't made any arrangements yet, so suddenly.

"Okay, I'll go by myself. You stay at the company. The two of us are too conspicuous; if we act together, we'll definitely be exposed."

Lan Jingyan's figure and height are so outstanding that she can be easily recognized even without seeing her face.

In addition, his innate noble temperament radiates from within, making any attempt to conceal it futile.

But she is different. There are many girls of her height. As for her figure, she can cover it up with clothes, and her face can be disguised with makeup.

As for temperament, being a little silly is definitely the right way to go... no... just being a little goofy is fine.

"No, I don't want you to take the risk."

Lan Jingyan refused outright; he really couldn't bring himself to let her act alone.

If that nameless island really is Na Yu's lair, a large base with tens of thousands of people, how could she possibly break in all by herself?

Even later on, we won't be able to act together.

Yan Xiluo sighed. Lan Jingyan was too conspicuous; she could see through him in a second.

At that point, all our previous efforts would be wasted.

"Let Ayu and the others go with you. I'll wait outside the island."

This is the biggest concession he can make; he won't give any more, not even a little bit more.

Your wife is your own; if you don't protect her, who else can you rely on?

"You don't want the company anymore? You've only been back for a few days."

Yan Xiluo felt helpless; she didn't want Lan Jingyan to leave the company and be with her every time.

There's nothing major going on at her own company right now, and she's managed to handle her work for the week well. Even without her, Zhang Xinxin is doing a great job.

An Xinyue and Li Mufei continued their vacation as planned and did not need to rush back suddenly.

"The company isn't as important as you. If you're in danger, what's the point of me working? Let whoever wants this company take it!"

Lan Jingyan was furious. Company, company, company again. He was truly fed up with this company; this was the first time he had ever felt so disgusted with it.

She's out there taking risks, and he still has the mind to work?

"Why are you being so fierce..."

Yan Xiluo was stunned. This was the first time Lan Jingyan had ever lost his temper in front of him like this.

I had heard before that Lan Jingyan often got angry during company meetings, and the company's senior management would break out in a cold sweat every time they received a meeting notice.

"Baby, I'm not being mean to you, I'm just helpless."

Lan Jingyan held her forehead with one hand, extremely angry.

"Okay, I agree."

Yan Xiluo pouted, her eyes a little red, and tugged at his clothes to try and appease him.

Her eyes were red not because he had scared her with his temper, but because he had said that the company was not as important as her. Anyone would be moved by that, and she was no exception.

"Baby, do you know? You are the most important person in my life, and the person I will spend the rest of my life with. I can't stand idly by. If you live, I live; if you die, I die."

Lan Jingyan held her tightly in his arms, afraid that she would slip away at any moment.

"Okay, stop saying that. We'll all be fine."

At this moment, Yan Xiluo had no reason to refuse him anymore.

"Then let's pack up and set off."

Lan Jingyan held her tightly, reluctant to let go, and lingered over the fragrance emanating from her.

"Then you have to separate from me first."

Yan Xi lowered her chin to his chest and looked up at him.

Lan Jingyan not only didn't let go of her, but hugged her even tighter.

Yan Xiluo slowly moved the hands that were holding him to his armpits, and then began to play tricks on him.

"Hehehehe..."

"Baby, stop itching..."

Lan Jingyan released her as soon as she felt an itch, keeping a short distance between them.

"So boys get ticklish too?"

This was a novel and exciting experience for her, something she had never known before.

"Baby, don't you know that men who are ticklish love their wives?"

Lan Jingyan spoke with deep affection, his eyes filled with love for her.

"Really? I've never heard of that before. But I know you love me very much."

Yan Xiluo smiled beautifully at this moment, and the love in her eyes for him was no less than that for him.

"Good to know. Hurry up and pack your things."

The suddenness of this departure may have been due to a lack of thorough preparation, and he could only wait until he boarded the plane to make arrangements for his people in the US.

"Okay, I'll call them first."

When Yan Xiluo mentioned "scouting," she didn't mean scouting the surrounding area; she wanted to infiltrate their headquarters.
