Li Yuanyuan stayed at the manor for two days. If Ji Lingmo hadn't been with her, she definitely would have gotten lost.
This place is really big, but the main building where they live is very quiet. Usually, the maids live in the side buildings, and they are not allowed to wander around the main building unless there is something important.
That day, Ji Lingmo took her to school and kissed her lips reluctantly, saying, "Baby, I'll pick you up after school this afternoon. Be good at school."
Li Yuanyuan nodded perfunctorily. She knew what the man meant. A few days ago, a male classmate talked to her, and when this man found out, he was extremely jealous.
After moving to the manor, Li Yuanyuan's life remained unchanged.
The two maintained this relationship, and Ji Lingmo, mindful of her young age, never crossed the final line, which finally put Li Yuanyuan at ease.
Every time her mother and brother came to visit her, she would move back to the Royal Apartments beforehand, which is why they didn't notice.
More than a year has passed quickly, and today she officially graduated.
Her mother and brother traveled a long way to attend her graduation ceremony.
"Yuanyuan, do you want to go home with Mom in a couple of days, or do you want to stay here a few more days?"
Su Jingjing gently stroked her daughter's face. Her little girl was so beautiful. She wondered if she had a boyfriend at school.
However, Han Ting would definitely not agree to a transnational marriage. He always repeatedly warned him that he absolutely could not date abroad.
Li Yuanyuan paused in her eating, turned to look at her mother, and said, "Mom, I want to play with my classmates for a few more days. Can you go back first?"
"Why don't you let your brother go back first, and Mom will stay here with you?"
Su Jingjing was worried about leaving her daughter here alone. Her beloved daughter was pregnant, and An'an couldn't be away for too long.
Li Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue. "Mom, no need. If you stay a couple more days, Dad will definitely miss you so much he won't be able to sleep."
Su Jingjing said reproachfully, "Your dad wouldn't be that petty."
Li Yuanyuan and her brother exchanged a secret glance. They knew perfectly well that when it came to their mother's affairs, their father was more petty than a needle.
"I promise you, I will definitely be back in less than a week."
Li Cheng'an comforted his mother, "Mom, if you stay, my sister will definitely worry about you being alone at home."
"All right."
Su Jingjing thought about it and agreed.
Two days later, Su Jingjing and her son returned to China, and Ji Lingmo appeared behind Li Yuanyuan, embracing her.
"Honey, did your father-in-law and brother-in-law go back?"
"Hmm." Li Yuanyuan nodded absentmindedly. She was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to bring up the topic of returning to China with Ji Lingmo.
In the car, Ji Lingmo couldn't help but voice his doubts, "Baby, why won't you let me meet them?"
Do you think I'm someone you can't show your face to others?
“That’s not how it is,” Li Yuanyuan retorted, nervously clenching her fingers. “I don’t know how to bring it up yet. You know, my dad doesn’t want me to have a foreign boyfriend.”
After more than a year of the man's meticulous care, Li Yuanyuan had to admit that she had fallen for him.
But there are still many things to consider before the two of them can be together.
Seeing her hesitate, Ji Lingmo felt a strange unease.
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
"I……"
Li Yuanyuan looked hesitant, and her words became stammering, "I...I've already graduated and I'll be going back to China in a few days. After I go back, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities to come here again."
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingmo's face instantly darkened. He forcefully lifted Li Yuanyuan's chin, staring intently at her, and asked, word by word, "What do you mean? Are you saying that for the past year or so, you've just been putting on an act with me?"
When Li Yuanyuan was asked this question, she panicked and quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, that's not it. I've always been sincere towards you. I just want to go back to China first and try to persuade my father."
Ji Lingmo, however, remained unconvinced, his tone still sharp: "What if he still doesn't agree to us being together? Are you really planning to give up on our relationship so easily?"
"I..." Li Yuanyuan was speechless at his question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She knew in her heart that if her father continued to oppose their relationship, she would indeed face a lot of pressure, but she really couldn't bear to give up her feelings for Ji Lingmo.
Seeing Li Yuanyuan's troubled expression, Ji Lingmo mocked himself inwardly, his whole being radiating a chilling aura.
In her heart, he was not important at all.
In the following days, the two seemed to enter a period of cold war. Ji Lingmo left early and returned late every day, and she had no chance to talk to him properly.
That day, Raymond walked into the manor.
Li Yuanyuan looked back anxiously, "Raymond, where's Ji Lingmo?"
Raymond bowed respectfully. "Madam, the master is still busy. He has arranged a private plane to take you back to your country. Please pack your things first, and you can leave later."
Li Yuanyuan was stunned. Was he still unwilling to talk to her?
Her father called yesterday to urge her to come home today.
Li Yuanyuan dazedly packed a few things and sat on the bed, crying silently.
Does Ji Lingmo not want her anymore?
Even after she boarded the plane and left, Ji Lingmo was still nowhere to be seen.
Looking at everything so familiar here, she really didn't want to leave.
On the top floor of the manor, Ji Lingmo watched the departing plane, a sharp pain shooting through his heart.
Raymond stood behind him. "Sir, you clearly love Madam very much, so why don't you tell her your plans?"
Ji Lingmo parted his thin lips slightly, "In this relationship, she has always been indecisive, and I want her to recognize her own heart this time."
Turning his gaze away, Ji Lingmo resumed his usual coldness. "Raymond, get this sorted out as soon as possible. I don't want to wait any longer."
"Yes, sir."
Four hours later, Li Yuanyuan returned to Beijing. The moment I stepped out of the airport, I saw my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my grandparents, my maternal grandparents... so many people came to pick me up.
"Yuanyuan, here."
Her family waved to her, and Li Yuanyuan swallowed her emotions, ran towards them with a smile, and hugged them one by one.
"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma... I miss you so much."
Chen Shufang's heart melted when she looked at her soft and cuddly granddaughter.
"Grandma misses our little princess too."
Then, each family member took turns expressing their longing.
"Sister, don't worry about me, I miss you too."
Li Chengjin clung to Li Yuanyuan like a lazy little cat.
"Your sister misses you too."
Li Yuanyuan looked at her younger brother's handsome face and ruffled his hair.
