“How about we go on a trip?” Xiao Fan suddenly suggested with great enthusiasm.
“Baby, when?” Zhang Yuwen asked.
“Right now! The four of us, let’s take a spontaneous trip, how meaningful would that be?” Xiao Fan’s face was full of anticipation and excitement.
"I... I can't get away from work," Lu Yuzhi said with a slight frown and a hint of helplessness.
"What's the point of working? You've been working for so many years, it's time to let loose for once," Xiao Fan urged anxiously.
“That’s right, will the sky fall without you? If anything happens, just video call Secretary Qiao.” Zhang Yuwen chimed in from the side.
Lu Yuzhi looked down at Li Peiyu in his arms, his eyes asking, "Do you want to go?"
"Work is more important," Li Peiyu said softly, slowly raising her head.
Lu Yuzhi was somewhat disappointed; he hadn't expected her answer to be so straightforward. Did she really not want to travel with him at all?
"Let's go then," Lu Yuzhi said in a low voice. Traveling with her sounded like a great idea.
Huh? Li Peiyu thought to herself, why isn't Lu Yuzhi playing by the rules? She didn't insist on going, you know.
The four of them briefly discussed the details of the trip before setting off. Oh, no, three of them discussed the details, and Li Peiyu only needed to follow their instructions.
Because Zhang Yuwen and Xiao Fan couldn't appear together, and Xiao Fan was in the prime of his career, their relationship absolutely couldn't be exposed. So Xiao Fan took a flight the next day, separating from them.
Lu Yuzhi dialed the phone: "Qiao An, book three tickets to the M country as soon as possible, and one more for tomorrow. I'll send you the information on WeChat."
"Yes, Mr. Lu," Qiao An replied respectfully on the other end of the phone.
"Cancel my work for the next few days. If you need anything, video call me," Lu Yuzhi instructed methodically.
“Okay, Mr. Lu, I’ll cancel your schedule for the next three days.” Qiao An’s response was crisp and efficient.
Lu Yu had just hung up the phone
bite!
Li Peiyu's phone suddenly rang with a crisp notification sound.
It was a voice message sent by Gu Yan.
Li Peiyu then handed the phone to Lu Yuzhi.
Lu Yuzhi's expression instantly turned serious. He slowly opened the voice chat, and Gu Yan's familiar voice came through.
"Sweetie, I'm heading back now. I'll be there in an hour. Get ready, I'll take you to the amusement park."
Gu Yan texted Wang Boyang last night to ask if he had returned home, but Wang Boyang hadn't replied. Gu Yan was a little scared and rushed to the small apartment early this morning to see if anything had happened to Wang Boyang. Seeing Wang Boyang sleeping in the room, his conscience finally calmed down.
Lin Wanwan happened to have made breakfast, so she ate some. After breakfast, she texted Li Peiyu, inviting her to the amusement park, intending to slowly make her move on her.
Little did he know that his father and his gay uncle were plotting to abduct Li Peiyu on a trip.
Lu Yuzhi gripped his phone tightly, bit his lip, and said, "I'll talk to him in a bit."
"Um, should we wait until we get back from the trip? If we tell him now, he'll get emotional, and then how will we go on our trip?" Xiao Fan said with a worried expression.
“It won’t make a difference if we stay in these two days,” Zhang Yuwen echoed.
Lu Yuzhi thought in silence for a while. Firstly, he really didn't want to spoil everyone's travel mood, and secondly, he really wanted to travel with Li Peiyu. So he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then how am I supposed to review Yan Shuo's words?" Li Peiyu asked, looking bewildered.
Lu Yuzhi thought for a moment and said, "Just say you went back to your hometown and will be back in a few days."
"Okay." Li Peiyu nodded gently, then obediently edited the text and sent it to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan immediately replied: Okay. I'll take you to the amusement park when I get back in a few days.
Looking at Li Peiyu, who was texting with his head down, Lu Yuzhi secretly resolved that he would make things clear after returning from the trip. He didn't want to continue in the dark, like a thief.
He had originally planned to wait until Gu Yan's passion for Li Peiyu faded before confronting him, but Gu Yan disregarded everything and rushed headlong into things, falling deeper and deeper into Li Peiyu's arms. The deeper Gu Yan fell, the greater the hurt he would suffer later.
Lu Yuzhi couldn't bear to see Gu Yan suffer heartbreak, but fate is so ironic that the one who hurt Gu Yan turned out to be himself.
His relationship with Li Peiyu was a complete mistake from the very beginning. If he had known earlier that this relationship would hurt Gu Yan, he would never have touched Li Peiyu.
But in the darkest corner of his heart, he couldn't help but feel grateful that all of this had happened so haphazardly. Because he had fallen so deeply in love with her, so much so that he selfishly wanted to possess her forever.
Lu Yuzhi composed himself, tried to gather his chaotic thoughts, and then carefully sent the relevant information about the four people to Qiao An.
When Qiao An saw the message from Lu Yuzhi, which included Li Peiyu's name and ID number, her face instantly darkened. She thought angrily, "Who does Li Peiyu think she is, trying to hook up with President Lu time and time again?"
Qiao An became increasingly angry as she thought about it. She gripped her phone tightly, bit her lip, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. She then dialed Su Wenqing's number, wanting her to be the first to take the lead in dealing with Li Peiyu.
"Sister Wenqing, do you know? President Lu is about to take Li Peiyu to the United States!" Qiao An's voice was filled with jealousy and anger. "That woman has somehow managed to get around President Lu. We have to take action and not let her be so smug!"
"What?" Su Wenqing exclaimed in surprise on the other end of the phone.
Go to Country M? That's a tourist hotspot. What else could they be doing there but traveling! Lu Yuzhi has been focusing all his attention on work all these years, and now he's actually taking Li Peiyu on a trip.
“These two probably think Gu Yan is in their way, so they went abroad and acted recklessly. I've booked a plane ticket for you too. Go and follow them, take some intimate photos of them, and send them to Gu Yan.” Qiao An’s tone was urgent and malicious. “You must capture crucial evidence so that Gu Yan can see Li Peiyu’s true colors.”
“Okay, I’ll pack my things and head to the airport right now,” Su Wenqing replied without hesitation.
This Li Peiyu is two-timing, juggling relationships with both father and son—it's outrageous! This time, she's going to expose Li Peiyu's true colors. Let's see how long she can keep up the act in front of Gu Yan.
Lu Yu drove Li Peiyu to the small apartment to pick up her passport.
When Lin Wanwan saw Li Peiyu return, a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Peiyu? Why are you back too?"
"Also?" Li Peiyu looked puzzled.
"Yes, Gu Yan came very early this morning, sat here for a while, and then left in a hurry. He was gone for about an hour," Lin Wanwan quickly explained.
So Gu Yan came to the small apartment early in the morning. What was he doing there? Li Peiyu wasn't interested in knowing.
"I'm not looking for him. I came back to pick up something," Li Peiyu said calmly.
"Oh," Lin Wanwan replied.
Afterwards, Li Peiyu quickly grabbed her passport, packed a few things, and ran downstairs.
