He told Yan Mingxuan it was a business trip, to work on a project, but now too much time has passed.
"It's okay, I'll go back in a while."
Zheng Shuyi made a rough calculation and concluded that they shouldn't need to be separated for too long.
"Um?"
Yan Yixing only knew that Zheng Shuyi's family lived abroad for many years, and that most of their company and businesses were located in the United States.
She meant she was going back to China to see him?
“Originally, I planned to return to China to develop my career after finishing this project. My parents have been abroad for so many years, initially just to expand the company, but now they want to move the headquarters back to China. My grandparents are getting old and need us. They refuse to go abroad, so we have to go back.”
The two elderly people had been to the United States before, but they couldn't adapt to life here, and they were also lonely because they didn't have any good friends here.
They can't pay back their debts even if they go to work, and the elderly are most afraid of loneliness...
The Zheng family is not short of money now, so of course they should prioritize the two elderly people and give them more companionship and care.
"So we'll soon be able to stop being in a long-distance relationship?"
Yan Yixing never expected this outcome. He almost wanted to discuss with Yan Mingxuan about transferring him to the M country branch to manage the group.
"Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to be with you. I know myself. I don't like long-distance relationships, and I can't accept long-distance relationships, even if I like someone a lot, it's impossible."
Being in a long-distance relationship makes everything seem unreal; when she's unhappy, he can't hug her right away.
It would take more than ten hours to fly over, by which time a hug wouldn't be necessary.
Moreover, she is a clingy person. Once a relationship begins, she is afraid of losing it, and she feels insecure if she is far away.
"I guess I was just lucky to be back when you were planning to return to China. It must be fate between us, right? Besides, even if you hadn't come back, I would have transferred my job here. I don't like long-distance relationships either, and I would have come to you without hesitation."
So when he fell in love with Zheng Shuyi, he didn't think too much about the issue of being in a long-distance relationship. The Yan family's businesses are all over the world, and he could go anywhere for her.
"Uh-huh!"
Tears welled up in Zheng Shuyi's eyes; she was too moved to speak and could only nod.
No one had ever said such things to her before, and no one had ever wanted to pay such a price for her.
“Yiyi, do you want to come back to China with me to attend my grandma’s birthday banquet? If I remember correctly, it should be her 70th birthday! The elders in my family are all getting old, and there aren’t many birthdays I can celebrate with them anymore. Every one of them is one less. That’s why I’m determined to go tomorrow. I’ve never missed my grandma’s birthday.”
He wanted to bring his beloved girl home to make Liao Yufang and Yan Zhiguo happy.
"Okay! I'll go back with you."
From Yan Yixing's words, he knew that she was a sensible and filial person, and compared to her, she was not good enough.
When she got busy with work, she rarely even called home. Suddenly, she wanted to go back and see her grandparents...
Without hesitation, she immediately agreed.
"real?"
Yan Yixing was somewhat surprised that Zheng Shuyi had agreed to his request.
"Really, after this is over, I'll go home to see my grandparents, and then go back to the US to handle the handover of my work."
She has almost finished her work, so taking a few days off is not a problem.
"Uh-huh!"
Yan Yixing happily agreed.
"Fifth Brother, Sister Yiyi, dinner's ready!"
Yan Xiluo entered the secret room and called out. The soundproofing of the secret room was amazing; she had called out several times from outside but had not heard a response from inside.
So the only option is to open the secret room and call them.
"Okay! We're coming."
Zheng Shuyi answered before Yan Yixing could, afraid that his loud voice would aggravate his wound.
He then helped Yan Yixing out of bed and out of the secret room.
"Fifth Brother, before I came, I specially developed an enhanced version of the ointment, which will make your wound heal better. You need to take this pill immediately after you finish eating, and then use it with the ointment. Taking it internally and applying it externally will make the effect faster."
Because she needed to eat, Yan Xiluo took out the medicine she was going to take later. The ointment on Yin Yi's hand was already working very well, but Yan Xiluo was worried that Yan Yixing might still resort to violence.
So he secretly went back to the lab and developed an enhanced version of the ointment, which had a very good pain-relieving effect and was twice as effective as the previous one.
"Okay! Thank you for your thoughtfulness, little sister."
Yan Yixing smiled gently. Actually, the ointment was quite effective, better than any other external injury medications he had used before.
Yan Xiluo even managed to develop an upgraded version; she truly is a divine doctor!
"I'll help you change in a bit. I told Yin Yi to finish his business and go back to his country first. They've been keeping an eye on him these past few days. He's in the US, which is bad for our operation."
She was worried that Yin Yi would be taken hostage, so she arranged for someone to escort him back to China.
"Good! I must say, you junior brother are incredibly brave. No one else would dare to come here every day to change my dressings."
Knowing full well the danger ahead, he did not pull back from the brink.
"Then you should know whose junior brother he is... Hurry up and eat, and then take your medicine."
Lan Jingyan smiled, her lips curving upwards. "Even though you're injured, you're still talking so much. If we keep going, this will never end."
Zheng Shuyi and Yan Xiluo chuckled to themselves, and finally, smiles gradually appeared on their faces as they looked at each other and smiled.

Outside the villa
It's already past nine o'clock at night.
"Master, when can we make our move? Those two haven't left yet. If we drag this out any longer, the Dark Night Gang leader's wounds will have healed. What if they wipe us all out then?"
A rather cowardly and afraid-of-death henchman of the Bloodthirsty Hall was making a phone call to the leader of the Bloodthirsty Hall.
"If we go now, those two inside could wipe us all out! Go ahead and try if you're not afraid of dying!"
The leader of the Bloodthirsty Hall closed his eyes and suppressed his anger. They should have forced their way in from the beginning, otherwise they would not have missed such a good opportunity.
The person who would come to offer help after the Dark Night Gang leader was injured must be someone extraordinary; otherwise, who would risk their life to provoke such a thing?
It's too late to say anything now; we can only wait for the right opportunity.
"Then... then forget it..."
He was so scared he stammered. This time, he was facing both wolves and tigers at the same time. Thinking of this, he swallowed hard. He didn't want to die.
"Don't even think about running away, or I'll kill you before they wipe out the Bloodthirsty Hall! Keep a close eye on them!"
The leader of the Bloodthirsty Hall knew what he was planning as soon as he heard it.
Once you enter his Bloodthirsty Hall, you are a member of the Bloodthirsty Hall in life and a ghost of the Bloodthirsty Hall in death!
Now, not only did he fail to seize the goods from the Dark Night Gang leader, he also provoked the Dark Night Gang leader. If he doesn't get rid of him, he'll only have one way out: death.
Since death is inevitable either way, why not take a gamble?
"Master, I...I didn't! I wouldn't dare run away..."
He knew the rules of the Bloodthirsty Hall; their methods were extremely cruel.
