Thus, a group of bizarre "CP" (couple pairings) arose, and Ye Wanwan was one of them, reveling in the sweetness between the veteran actor and the B&B owner.
Yu Qiqi, of course, was fangirling over the actor and actress pair, originally planning to drag Wanwan along, but unfortunately, Wanwan had turned traitor.
Wanwan didn’t just become a traitor; she was utterly obsessed, checking in and posting updates all day long, fully on the path to becoming a super fan.
Seeing Wanwan’s antics, Qiqi was astounded, while Wanwan was already head-over-heels, vowing to witness the day Fu Jingnian and Pei Yanchuan got married!
"La la la la la la la la..." After dinner, Wanwan hummed a tune, whose melody was a mystery, as she headed upstairs.
As she was about to go upstairs, Wanwan bumped into Uncle Zhang and casually said, "Uncle Zhang, I need to make a trip to the airport tomorrow afternoon."
"All right, Mrs.," Uncle Zhang agreed with a nod.
Wanwan didn’t say anything more, continuing to hum as she went upstairs.
When Shen Yi returned to the apartment, it was still midday, but he was supported by Assistant Chen, clearly having drunk too much.
Assistant Chen hurriedly helped him sit down on the sofa, then quickly went to pour a glass of water, "President Shen, have some water."
Shen Yi took a deep breath, took the glass, and, slightly tilting his head back, drained the water in one gulp.
"Are the tickets booked?" After drinking the water, Shen Yi leaned back on the sofa and asked wearily.
"They’re bought," Assistant Chen replied, but seeing President Shen’s condition, he added, "President Shen, how about leaving tomorrow instead?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "I’m fine."
He then added, "If you feel too tired, you can rest for a couple of days before returning. You’ve been here in D Country for so long, working non-stop. I guess you didn’t even have time to have a proper look around."
"Now that things are wrapped up here, I’m giving you a week off. Rest up."
Assistant Chen declined, "I’m fine."
"Suit yourself; either way, you’re taking a week off when we get back," Shen Yi said and then heaved a long sigh, raising his hand to rub his face.
The branch office here was finally on the right track. Because he was eager to leave, today’s lunch had been both a celebration and a farewell party, and inevitably, he had drunk too much.
"I’ll go pack my bags then and come back to pick you up later," Assistant Chen said.
"Hmm," Shen Yi merely responded, lacking even the strength to open his eyes.
Once Assistant Chen left, Shen Yi was still slouched on the sofa, but not long after, he opened his eyes and propped himself up off the sofa.
Although Shen Yi’s steps were slightly sluggish, he still made his way back to the bedroom and then into the bathroom to take a shower.
Around three in the afternoon, Assistant Chen returned to Shen Yi’s apartment, ready to head to the airport.
By then, Shen Yi had freshened up, the smell of alcohol dissipated from him, and the drunken haze lifted, though his head still throbbed dully.
The two made it to the airport and caught their flight at the last minute.
Watching the airplane gradually take off, both Shen Yi and Assistant Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The already exhausted men relaxed and soon fell asleep.
Assistant Chen turned his head and saw that President Shen on the other side had already fallen asleep, feeling a bit emotional. He had been working with Shen Yi since the days he was Manager Shen, and it had been five years already.
He had never imagined that this man could one day be so deeply entangled in love, unable to extricate himself.
