When Qiao Jiusheng came out of the shower, she saw Fang Yusheng sitting by the bed and packing his luggage alone. This made her remember that he had mentioned he was going on a long trip the next day.
After changing into her pajamas in front of Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng walked to his side and sat down.
“Let me help you pack.”
As she spoke, she picked up a sweater from the bed and folded it.
Fang Yusheng nodded. He traced the cut with his fingers as he folded his pants.
Qiao Jiusheng suddenly asked, “Where are you going? And for how long?”
She did not know if she was overthinking it, but she could clearly sense that Fang Yusheng seemed a little happy after she asked this question.
“America.”
“You’re going overseas?” Qiao Jiusheng was surprised. “What are you going to America for?”
“Something personal.”
“Oh.” She asked again, “When are you coming back?”
Fang Yusheng stopped in his tracks. He lowered his head and said, “It might take half a month or it might even be two months.” If it did not go smoothly, he could return in half a month. If it did go smoothly, he could only return in two months.
Qiao Jiusheng’s face fell. “You will be gone for so long?” Just as Fang Yusheng was about to say something, Qiao Jiusheng happily continued, “No one will fight with me for the blanket for two months.”
Fang Yusheng: “…”
He had almost thought that she could not bear to leave him.
“When you come back, it’ll be the end of December. We can celebrate the new year together. However, we can’t celebrate Christmas together.” Qiao Jiusheng poked the back of Fang Yusheng’s hand. Fang Yusheng raised his head and looked in her direction with a confused expression.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “I heard that X smartphones are releasing the 10th generation X this year. You will be in America at that time, so bring one back for me.”
She immediately recalled Fang Yusheng’s stinginess and quickly said, “Take it as me borrowing the phone from you first. I’ll return the money to you later.”
Fang Yusheng chuckled. He could not help but ask, “Where would you get the money to return it to me?”
Qiao Jiusheng was a parasite without a job and money.
She touched her chin and suggested, “How about compensating with my body?”
Fang Yusheng laughed.
“Okay.”
After packing the luggage, the two of them lay down and slept. Perhaps, it was because of the kiss in the meditation room, but when they slept, Qiao Jiusheng did not dare to go near Fang Yusheng. However, she did not want Fang Yusheng to think that she was afraid. Therefore, she kept talking about the interesting things from her previous travels.
Fang Yusheng listened to her and occasionally replied.
From her words, he learned that she had been to many places. As the daughter of the Qiao family, she had lived in an environment filled with luxury ever since she was young. She had gone to countless places. Fang Yusheng patiently listened until Qiao Jiusheng got tired and fell asleep. However, Fang Yusheng was still awake.
He closed his eyes and thought to himself: You remember so many places you’ve been to. Why didn’t you mention Meng Hai? Isn’t it beautiful there? I was there too.
The next morning, after breakfast, Fang Yusheng pulled his luggage to leave.
Qiao Jiusheng quickly threw down her chopsticks and stood up. She took out a box and handed it to Qi Bufan. Holding Fang Yusheng’s hand, she said to him, “I’ll send you to the airport.”
Fang Yusheng smiled. “Okay.”
When the people in the main house saw Young Master Fang and the Eldest Young Madam affectionately leaving the house, they could not help but mutter among themselves. The rumors cleared said that Eldest Young Madam had an affair the previous day. Yet, she and Eldest Young Master were still together.
When the two of them reached the airport, Qiao Jiusheng waited for Fang Yusheng to board the plane. She only returned after the plane left.
Qi Bufan had also followed Fang Yusheng to America. Thus, Qiao Jiusheng returned to the house alone and looked at Aunt Jin’s chubby face. Only then did she feel that this house was too cold.
***
The plane landed in the most prosperous city in Eastern America. Fang Yusheng got off the plane and entered the car that had been waiting for him.
The car drove along the wide road for a while before Qi Bufan suddenly said, “Sir, someone is following us.”
“Who is it?”
Qi Bufan replied, “He has an Asian face.”
“Ha.”
It’s Fang Mu again.
After so many years, Fang Mu still does not dare to let his guard down. Fang Yusheng really admired this person’s alertness and patience. “Get rid of them.”
“Okay.”
***
When Fang Mu was about to leave work, he received a photo document from his personal bodyguard.
The main character in those pictures was Fang Yusheng.
From the time Fang Yusheng got out of the car to the time he checked into the hotel and every time he went out to play, the camera captured all his movements. Fang Mu stared at the pictures, filled with doubts. Did Fang Yusheng really go to America to play?
At this moment, the real Fang Yusheng had already left the hotel. He was headed for Zhuang Long’s private villa.
When Fang Yusheng arrived at the villa, Zhuang Long and Ji Yinbing were both there.
“An, welcome.” Ji Yinbing hugged Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng patted Ji Yubing’s back. At this moment, Zhuang Long’s voice interrupted the reunion. “Fang Yusheng, oh Fang Yusheng, you’re blind, but you have guts. You even dare to hug her. Aren’t you afraid that Ah Nuo will kick you until you can’t give birth?”
Zhuang Long proudly grinned. At this moment, a woman’s clear voice rang behind him. “Zhuang Long, why are you standing there?”
Zhuang Long turned around with a sullen expression and looked at the woman behind him.
Fang Yusheng smiled and let go of Ji Yinbing. He stabilized himself and looked up. Then, he greeted the owner of the voice, “Xiao Li, hello. I’m Fang Yusheng.”
