After that day, Liang Mo never mentioned Luo Shuyang to Luo Qingyuan again, and they continued to interact normally, occasionally chatting and laughing together.
This made Luo Qingyuan feel as if her conversation with Liang Mo in the kitchen that day was just an illusion.
This feeling lasted until the day they were about to return home.
Duan Ye went upstairs to carry things down, and Liang Mo held Luo Qingyuan's hand, smiling as he said, "Your older brother and I will be going to Kyoto at the end of the month. We'll be waiting for your good news then."
"By the way, please keep my identity a secret from others, sister-in-law."
Luo Qingyuan didn't dare to agree at all. It was true that Luo Shuyang loved her, but it was also true that he was sometimes ruthless towards her.
If Luo Shuyang knew that he had betrayed his own brother for the sake of the Duan family, then the geniuses of Kyoto would be in deep trouble.
Luo Qingyuan still wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, Duan Ye and Duan Ze came out together.
Duan Ye: "Qingyuan, brother, come back to Kyoto with us. I've already bought the tickets."
Luo Qingyuan could only nod: "Okay."
The reason she didn't reveal her identity to Duan Ye before was to tease him and cultivate a relationship with him, so that he wouldn't feel distant from her after finding out she was the daughter of the richest man.
Now, it is Luo Qingyuan who is timid.
Luo Qingyuan asked, "Didn't you drive back, brother? Is the car just at home?"
Duan Ze: "Okay, I won't drive the car. There's another one in Kyoto. I'll drive it to H Prefecture when I have some free time."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "That's fine, let's go then."
Duan Renji strode out: "Big brother will take you to the airport."
Duan Jiancheng and Miao Suzhen also came out, carrying a lot of local specialties, which they stuffed into the trunk.
Duan Jiancheng: "Take these things back and divide them among yourselves."
Miao Suzhen: "Xiao Ye and Xiao Ze, bring your wife home to visit often."
Duan Ye and Duan Ze nodded at the same time.
Duan Ye: "Grandpa and Grandma, you should go back now. We're leaving now, and we'll come back to see you again next time we have a holiday."
Miao Suzhen smiled and waved her hand: "You all get in the car first, Grandma and Qingyuan will have a few words."
Duan Ye and Duan Ze both got into the car with smiles on their faces.
Miao Suzhen pulled Luo Qingyuan's hand and walked her aside: "Qingyuan, don't blame your sister-in-law, she's only doing it for the good of your family..."
Luo Qingyuan was slightly taken aback, but instantly understood what her grandmother was talking about.
Luo Qingyuan shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry, I know what's important."
Miao Suzhen smiled kindly and patted Luo Qingyuan's shoulder, saying, "Marriage requires honesty and tolerance. Don't be fooled by Xiao Ye's seemingly carefree and nonchalant demeanor; he is actually very thoughtful."
"Grandma can tell that Ono likes you a lot."
Luo Qingyuan was slightly taken aback.
Miao Suzhen sighed and continued, "The Duan family's status and identity are too special. It's not easy for Xiaoye to choose the path she likes. Of course, Grandma also knows that Qingyuan has had a hard time too."
"But life is full of ups and downs, and having someone who understands your needs is already a blessing."
"Grandma liked Qingyuan the moment she saw her. You're just the way Grandma sees you. Grandma hopes that you and Xiaoye can be together forever..."
"I hope that when Grandma meets Qingyuan next time, she will hear good news from you."
Wang Zezhong only breathed a sigh of relief after Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye left the Duan family. However, he did not leave. Instead, he kept looking thoughtfully in the direction Duan Ye had left.
Hopefully, Duan Ye's trip will go smoothly.
Wang Zezhong didn't even dare to imagine how much of a commotion it would cause in the business and military circles if Duan Ye were to have even the slightest problem.
The Luo family is the leading family in the business world.
And the Duan family…
Nobody's a pushover.
Duan Jiancheng sighed: "Qingyuan is a really good kid. She's good-looking, kind-hearted, and speaks just like you when you were young. It's just that her background... is a bit difficult. I'm sorry to trouble Liang Mo."
In order to conceal his identity, he had to first use Liang Mo's identity to deal with Luo Qingyuan.
Tian Suzhen: "She does resemble me somewhat back then..."
Liang Mo: "Grandpa, you're too kind. This is what we should do for your safety."
Duan Jiancheng nodded: "Alright, everyone go back now."
——
The vehicle is traveling at a normal speed on the highway.
Duan Ye and his two older brothers were chatting and laughing, while Luo Qingyuan's mind kept repeating the words Miao Suzhen had said.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Although Miao Suzhen is Duan Ye's grandmother, she is also very similar to her grandmother.
Both of her grandmothers doted on her.
Duan Ye quickly noticed that something was wrong with Luo Qingyuan, and he nervously leaned over to her, asking softly, "What's wrong?"
Luo Qingyuan shook her head and said, "The thought of going back to work makes me want to cry."
The space inside the car was so small that Duan Renji and Duan Ze in the front could also hear it.
Duan Renji: "Yes, this holiday went by so fast. My younger siblings can come home to visit more often in the future."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and replied, "Then thank you very much, brother."
Duan Ye silently tightened his grip on Luo Qingyuan's hand, and then reached out with his other hand to rub Luo Qingyuan's head, saying, "Silly girl."
Luo Qingyuan chuckled twice and rested her head on Duan Ye's neck.
Duan Ye put his arm around her and said, "If you're sleepy, take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get to the airport."
Duan Renji and Duan Ze exchanged a glance. One slowed down the car, while the other turned on the air conditioning and music, creating a very comfortable environment for Luo Qingyuan.
Luo Qingyuan felt incredibly happy at this moment, and all the anxieties in her heart seemed to disappear. She silently hugged Duan Ye's lean and strong waist and closed her eyes.
At 3 p.m., the plane landed in Kyoto on time.
Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan went home, while Duan Ze went back first and drove back to H State without stopping for a moment.
He himself didn't know what he was in such a hurry for; he just didn't want to stay in Kyoto.
At 6:30 p.m., Duan Ze parked his car downstairs and then carried his suitcase upstairs.
As soon as Duan Ze stepped out of the elevator, he looked up and saw the people waiting at the door, and immediately stopped in his tracks.
Shen Niannian turned around and saw Duan Ze, whom she hadn't seen for almost five days. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she ran straight towards Duan Ze.
As usual, she tried to jump over and hug Duan Ze's hand, but Duan Ze easily avoided her.
Duan Ze frowned and looked at Shen Niannian: "Stand still."
For a moment, Shen Niannian's expression showed surprise; this was the first time Duan Ze had avoided her so quickly.
But soon, Shen Niannian adjusted her mindset, stood still, and said with a smile, "You're back~"
Duan Ze gave a soft "hmm" and then walked past Chen Niannian to open the door.
"I'm very tired, I need to rest." Duan Ze said, and closed the door without giving Shen Niannian a chance to react.
The words that Shen Niannian wanted to say were completely shut out by that door.
She spent a long time trying to come up with a proper apology to Duan Ze, but...
Shen Niannian felt wronged, but she knew it was her own fault this time. She was only frustrated for a moment before she started thinking about how to get Duan Ze's forgiveness.
