“I forgot to tell you beforehand that I was also invited to participate in this fashion week.” Chu Yunxing pointed to An’an, who was fast asleep beside him. “An’an said you were going to take her home. So that’s what you meant.”
"Yes." Song Mai smiled and winked.
Ji Fenghe was ignored, and he subconsciously frowned and said in a low voice, "Brother Yun, the plane is experiencing turbulence. You should return to your seats as soon as possible to avoid getting hurt."
The low warning made Song Mai subconsciously frown.
I don't know when it started, but whenever Ji Feng and Chu Yunxing have a conflict, I always subconsciously side with Chu Yunxing.
She couldn't explain why she had such a thought, but by the time she realized it, she had already subconsciously stopped the two of them from arguing.
"Everyone is resting, so let's not disturb others."
Now that Song Mai had spoken, the two stopped arguing.
The next morning, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that the plane was about to land. Song Mai gently woke An An and helped her put on her coat.
The climate here is not as good as in China, and at this time of year, it's snowing heavily.
Song Mai whispered, "Mom will take you back to the hotel first."
An'an looked thoughtfully at the other two people: "Are the two uncles coming back with us?"
"They have their own things to do too."
An'an turned her gaze to Ji Fenghe again: "We went home with Uncle Ji before, are we going to leave him alone now?"
These words made Song Mai subconsciously frown and turn to look at Ji Fenghe.
Ji Feng touched his nose guiltily, not daring to meet her gaze.
He did indeed secretly tell An'an these words when Song Mai wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect Song Mai to be able to notice.
"Fashion Week is tomorrow night, how are you planning to get there?" Chu Yunxing asked.
Song Mai frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said softly, "Shen Xiujing will send someone to pick us up, so don't worry."
With those words, Chu Yunxing could only nod silently and turn to leave.
His decisive departure surprised Ji Fenghe.
I subconsciously stared at his back, unable to pinpoint what was wrong.
"Are you going back to the hotel now?" Ji Feng asked the mother and daughter with concern.
Song Mai nodded: "I sold the house when I returned to China, and now I have nowhere to go."
After a moment's hesitation, Ji Feng took a key out of his pocket.
"The house you sold was actually bought by me. I was worried that you might come back here someday, so I made preparations in advance. Now the house has been returned to its rightful owner, and everyone is happy."
Song Mai felt a pang of inexplicable guilt for not expecting Ji Fenghe to have made preparations in advance.
She looked up at Ji Fenghe, just as a gust of wind blew by, ruffling his hair.
His hair obscured his eyes, making it impossible for Song Mai to read the emotions in them.
"sorry."
This apology refers to the neglect and deliberate distancing from Ji Feng during this period, and also to the fact that he has not been moved by her despite their years of getting along.
Ji Fenghe pursed his lips and nodded, forcing a smile: "You haven't done anything to wrong me."
"Thank you for the key, but we've already booked a hotel."
Ji Feng insisted on putting the key into Song Mai's hand and said in a low voice, "This is your house, and it's most suitable for you to live here. I can stay in the hotel you booked, so it's not a waste of money."
The two looked at each other and laughed happily.
That afternoon, Song Mai asked her neighbor to take care of An'an, and then went to investigate the hospital where she was born.
I had only taken a few steps when my phone rang.
Song Mai was taken aback when she saw Chu Yunxing's name appear on the screen.
Why are you making a phone call?
"Don't turn around right now, someone is following you. There's a coffee shop on the right ahead, just go in and I'll wait for you here."
Song Mai felt her limbs stiffen and subconsciously took large strides forward.
She quickly spotted the coffee shop Chu Yunxing had mentioned and went straight inside.
Immediately afterwards, a car sped past behind him, nearly hitting the pedestrian.
Chu Yunxing looked out the window through the glass display case and breathed a sigh of relief once he was sure the other person had left.
He turned to look at Song Mai and said in a low voice, "The other person was already following you when you first went out."
Song Mai frowned subconsciously, unsure of what to do for a moment.
"How did you know? Who is this person? Why are you following me?"
The three questions left Chu Yunxing at a loss for words. After a moment of contemplation, he led Song Mai to sit down in a corner.
“I’m not sure of the other person’s identity either, but I’m really sorry. I secretly sent people to protect you around your villa. As soon as you went out, they discovered that someone was following you and informed me in time.” Chu Yunxing sighed deeply, his tone full of caution, worried that Song Mai would be angry about this.
"You protected An'an, so of course I should apologize. But this is a one-time exception. If there are any similar arrangements in the future, please be sure to discuss them with me."
Chu Yunxing nodded quickly and said earnestly, "I promise, there will never be a next time."
This sight made Song Mai chuckle, then she sighed with worry.
"Your purpose in going out probably wasn't to attend Fashion Week, right?"
Seeing that Song Mai hadn't taken An'an with her when she went out, Chu Yunxing began to speculate.
Song Mai nodded, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
She was unsure whether she should tell Chu Yunxing about her plans, or simply tell him that he was someone she could trust.
But as time went by, Song Mai wondered if she should really trust him.
"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine too. Just tell me where you need my help."
Song Mai hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually, I went out this time to go to the hospital where I gave birth. When I woke up, I was already lying in a hospital bed, and there were only half a month left before An'an gave birth." Song Mai suddenly stopped and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her.
She always felt that someone was secretly watching her, a feeling that sent chills down her spine and made her shudder.
Chu Yunxing also sensed that something was wrong, and frowned deeply: "I'll go take a look."
Still shaken by what had just happened, Song Mai instinctively reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Don't go over there, come with me."
After all, they are currently abroad, and if any danger arises, they will have no way to save themselves.
Chu Yunxing noticed her fear and gently comforted her, "I own this coffee shop. No matter what happens, I will keep you safe."
These words were like a reassuring pill, quickly putting Song Mai at ease.
Chu Yunxing quickly identified the suspicious person in the seat and walked straight over to him.
She was a strange woman, blonde with blue eyes, and a cold expression.
