Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

"When I first went to New York, I also stayed with a host family for half a year, while Xiao Yong stayed in the school dormitory," Lu Wanting said with a smile.

Hearing Lu Wanting say this, Zhou Yuwen thought of Su Qing all alone abroad with no one to rely on, and he felt a bit uneasy. Looking at Lu Wanting in front of him, her smile was infectious, like a sister who understands everything.

Zhou Yuwen smiled and said, "Sister Wanting, when we go abroad, we're completely in the dark. You have some experience abroad; if you could help Su Qing get everything arranged, I would feel much more at ease."

"Uh,"

Lu Wanting didn't expect Zhou Yuwen would want her to go abroad with Su Qing, and before Lu Wanting could refuse,

Zhou Yuwen said he wouldn't let Lu Wanting work for nothing; he would pay her a considerable amount.

"It's not about the money..." Lu Wanting couldn't help but laugh at these words.

Honestly, although she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in South Asia, the environment there wasn't much better than at home. Lu Wanting's father had three wives, and Lu Wanting was actually born to a concubine.

Although her father loved her dearly, it was clear that her future was something she needed to figure out on her own.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the domestic region alone to strive.

Zhou Yuwen offered her a salary she couldn't refuse.

But Lu Wanting said, "I know you mean well, but I have work here."

Clearly, Lu Wanting was tempted, but she was still hesitating.

So Zhou Yuwen said, "How about this, Sister Wanting, just see it as revisiting an old place, go to New York to have fun, and meet old classmates. I'll cover all expenses this time. If you feel it's suitable, or if you want to continue your studies, I will pay for your tuition and living expenses. If you don't want to, just help Su Qing with her initial study-abroad matters, and you can come back anytime."

Before Lu Wanting could speak,

Zhou Yuwen already knew her concern and said, "I'll talk to Sister Zhu for you."

Lu Wanting was a reserve cadre at Meituan, so it really wasn't easy for her to resign. Fortunately, Zhou Yuwen had a good relationship with Zhu Hong, who managed to get special approval from Zhu Hong for a one-month vacation for Lu Wanting.

Lu Wanting was sent abroad with pay and was even assigned a project, which was nominally said to be a market investigation trip to New York.

As a small-time employee in the workplace, Lu Wanting suddenly received such a great benefit. Naturally, she was very happy, and had even started contacting her overseas classmates, indicating that she could soon meet them.

However, upon learning that Lu Wanting was going, Peng Xiaoyong felt somewhat sad.

Even though he knew that Lu Wanting liked his brother.

But that day, Lu Wanting made it clear that she knew it was impossible between her and Zhou Yuwen.

"I'm really sorry..." Lu Wanting apologized to Peng Xiaoyong.

And that day, Peng Xiaoyong, with great magnanimity, said it was alright, stating that Zhou Yuwen was indeed excellent.

"But I won't give up."

In the glow of the sunset that day.

At the subway entrance, Peng Xiaoyong confessed his feelings to Lu Wanting, hoping she would give him a chance, at least let him pursue her openly.

At that moment, Lu Wanting was very confused; to be honest, she didn't like Peng Xiaoyong.

But seeing Peng Xiaoyong's earnest look,

The first thing that came to Lu Wanting's mind was that he was Zhou Yuwen's cousin.

Everyone could see Zhou Yuwen's potential.

If she couldn't reach Zhou Yuwen,

Choosing someone around Zhou Yuwen was indeed a good choice.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Wanting finally said, "Sorry Xiao Yong, you are a good person, but I cannot go against my own choice."

"It's alright, Wanting, I'll give you time, but could you also give me some time?"

Since Peng Xiaoyong said this, what else could Lu Wanting say?

She could only nod.

From then on, Peng Xiaoyong pursued Lu Wanting even more diligently.

And at this time, Lu Wanting actually did feel a bit moved. After all, by choosing Peng Xiaoyong, at least she could become Zhou Yuwen's sister-in-law...

Unfortunately, before the two could start, Lu Wanting had to go to America again.

That night, Peng Xiaoyong helped Lu Wanting pack her clothes.

Lu Wanting felt a bit embarrassed, saying, "Sorry, Xiao Yong, for making you run around so much..."

"It's nothing, Wanting; aren't you only going for a month?" Peng Xiaoyong pushed up his glasses and said.

"Yeah... I think so."

Lu Wanting didn't quite know what to say.

After getting Lu Wanting's affirmative answer, Peng Xiaoyong smiled and told Lu Wanting he would wait for her.

"I have a few friends in New York too; if you need anything, you can call me," Peng Xiaoyong said.

"Okay, I got it."

Lu Wanting smiled.

She left a few days earlier than Zhou Yuwen and the others because Lu Wanting had to help Su Qing arrange for a host family, and as Zhou Yuwen intended, they could delay moving into their property, but they could buy it first and have Lu Wanting help keep an eye on it.

That day, Peng Xiaoyong took Lu Wanting to the airport.

The two didn't say much.

Just before Lu Wanting went inside, Peng Xiaoyong asked her, "You'll come back, right?"

Lu Wanting thought for a moment before finally nodding, "I will!"

And with that, they parted ways.

When it came to host family arrangements, Zhou Yuwen still felt a bit unreliable. Anyway, his matters were already arranged, and regarding Jiang Xinyi and their troubles, Zhou Yuwen really didn't want to deal with it, so he thought about it and decided to book a ticket as well, joining Su Qing on the trip to America!

So that day, Su Qing looked at Zhou Yuwen, who was smiling at her, on the plane.

Su Qing couldn't believe her eyes.

Immediately, her expression seemed to freeze suddenly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She lunged into Zhou Yuwen's arms, still unable to control her sobs.

She wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry out loud, only able to whisper softly there.

Zhou Yuwen gently patted her back, telling her not to cry, asking what was there to cry about?

Su Qing softly murmured something indistinctly.

It wasn't until Zhou Yuwen leaned in to hear that he understood she was softly saying, "I thought you truly abandoned me."

Zhou Yuwen chuckled and said, "How could I?"

A 20-hour journey is tiring, and initially, they spoke little. After Su Qing finished crying, her eyes were red, genuinely creating a pitiful impression.

Perhaps out of shyness or restraint, after crying, Su Qing didn't cling to Zhou Yuwen but instead looked out at the clouds by herself.

In the evening, Su Qing wrapped herself in a blanket and unknowingly leaned closer to Zhou Yuwen.

The two ended up sleeping together like that.

Zhou Yuwen embraced Su Qing and entered a dream.

During the 20-hour journey, from initial silence to later whispers, they talked about a lot, watching the clouds outside together and witnessing the sunrise over the horizon.

The clouds in the sky were as serene as a lake.

And when the golden sun rose from the lake's surface, it painted the clouds red.

Zhou Yuwen whispered sweet-nothings in Su Qing's ear.

Su Qing giggled, unable to resist giving Zhou Yuwen a playful smack.

The two seemed to be back at the beginning of their romantic relationship.

Su Qing looked up, slightly closed her eyes, and awaited a kiss from Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen was not one to miss the cue.

The two kissed as the sun rose.

As Zhou Yuwen's hands began to move under the blanket, Su Qing couldn't help but make a sound, her body starting to go soft.

Afterward, the two of them went into the toilet together...

When they got off the plane, they were holding hands, and the gloom on Su Qing's face had long disappeared.

Much like the clear blue sky above the airport.

Su Qing returned to being that bright young girl.

She happily walked in front, while Zhou Yuwen pushed the luggage behind her; the two were like a couple on a travel adventure.

"Su Qing!"

Before they even got out of the airport, they saw Lu Wanting holding a sign to welcome them.
