A white plane bound for City M streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of smoke like a stroke on an artist's palette. Inside first class, a man in a black coat was reading the most prominent news in the local paper, his brow slightly furrowed.

"May I ask what you'd like to order" the beautiful flight attendant asked him respectfully.

"Just a cup of hot tea for me."

A steaming cup of green tea was soon brought to him. He put down the newspaper, his eyes still as warm and gentle as yesterday, the headlines on the paper starkly displayed before him.

The Gu Corporation's CEO married a mysterious woman, the two tying the knot in City M.

He pondered for a moment, then still took out his phone and sent a text message to a contact person under the name "Noah": "Noah, I'm back in the country. In M city, I only know you. I'll be arriving around 3 pm. Hope I can see your figure as soon as I get off the plane."

In a matter of seconds, the phone screen lit up again with a few clean and concise words: “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at exit one.”

As for going to see Lingchen, Zhao Yino didn't tell Gu Wang. She knew that if she told Gu Wang, he would definitely ask to go with her to pick him up.

If this happened before, it wouldn't be a big deal. But Lingchen had saved her life once, and more than a year ago when he left that day, she hadn't forgotten what he said.

The airport was crowded, especially since it was also a holiday period. Many people had traveled from afar to reunite with their families, and Zhao Yizhen struggled for a long time before finally finding a good spot that was easily visible.

Dragging his suitcase out of security, Ling Chen spotted the slender figure from afar. She stood among the crowd like a delicate flower, unassuming yet radiating an undeniable brilliance.

Zhao Yino's eyes were still jumping restlessly among the crowd. Ling Chen suddenly felt like teasing her, so he purposely went around the crowd and lightly patted her shoulder when she wasn't paying attention.

She didn't immediately turn back, so Ling Chen could only helplessly speak up: "I'm here."

The sudden sound startled Zhao Yinan, and when he reacted, he instinctively reached out to punch the person next to him. His strength was light, but Ling Chen felt like his heart had been gently touched by something.

"Did your job in the United States end" Zhao Yizhen smiled. "I thought you'd be staying there for three or five years. When you messaged me, I was even thinking, will you bring back a blonde, blue-eyed beauty this time"

Ling Chen grasped the key point very well: “You… don’t want me to come back”

Zhao Yizhuo's expression was a bit awkward. She didn't mean it that way, but it seemed like he understood correctly. After a long silence, she replied, "How could that be I meant your research progress is really fast, it's truly admirable for medical students."

"Although research abroad is progressing quickly, it hasn't been completed yet. I just reported to the dean and applied to return home to continue this research..."

I find it really hard to be apart from you, so that's why I made this decision.

He did not say these words out loud. He had already hesitated when he was abroad, but now, seeing the newspaper, he chose not to say anything because she was already married.

The words of blessing were too difficult to utter. Ling Chen could only spit out a few scattered words: "I want to ask... how are you and Gu Wang doing"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself. How could she possibly be unhappy now that she was married to Gu Wang

When Jian Lingchen brought up Gu Wang, Zhao Yizhen's heart skipped a beat. He thought that Jian Lingchen had already dismissed the past as water under the bridge. He happily replied: "Of course! Whenever you have time, we can eat together. You're also welcome to come over our house for a meal anytime."

Lingchen's heart was heavy. In this world, anyone who likes someone else should have the freedom and right to pursue them, but he didn't. He had initially believed in love growing over time, wanting to take her with him, but that hope shattered the moment she left.y.""You paparazzi are quite the talker, I see right through you! You're clearly guilty!" Tang Yun gained a bit more confidence and scolded him angrily."What nonsense are you talking to this kind of pe...
