Liang Yu smiled at Yan Qiying and said softly:

"I was thinking that, without affecting your original plans, we could come back together."

"That way, when we come back, we can sit together again."

Yan Qi gave a very soft "hmm" and replied in a calm voice:

"it is good."

Then he asked:

"How many days do you plan to stay in Country A?"

Liang Yujian was delighted to hear that Yan Qi had agreed to come back with him.

"I plan to be in Country A for tomorrow and the day after, and then come back the day after that. What about you? How many days do you need to stay in Country A?"

"If you need to stay in Country A for a few more days, I can wait for you."

Liang Yu did not say that he could come back first.

Instead, she said she would wait for him to come back together.

The low, rumbling sound of the airplane echoed endlessly in the cabin.

Yan Qi's fingertips, which were resting on the armrest, paused almost imperceptibly for half a second. His fingertips lightly brushed against the leather of the armrest, a movement so subtle that it was almost unnoticed.

His Adam's apple bobbed very slowly. He didn't turn his head immediately, but his jawline tightened even more. His originally relaxed shoulder line tightened slightly, and even his breathing became lighter.

After a moment, he slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Liang Yu's face.

Yan Qi's lip line loosened slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was suppressed to the point of being almost invisible.

He deliberately lowered his voice, which was slightly hoarse and carried a barely perceptible tremor:

"I won't stay any longer, I'll go back with you."

Liang Yu smiled and replied happily:

"That's wonderful, Yan Qi, I'm so happy to have met you."

The aircraft ascended to the designated altitude and began stable flight.

Liang Yu readjusted the seat again.

She lay relaxed on the chair, sinking into the softness, and suddenly felt a sense of comfort welling up inside her.

Liang Yu turned his head slightly. Outside the window, there were endless waves of clouds, layer upon layer, stretching towards the horizon, like a cotton sea fluffed up by the sun.

The only sound in the cabin was the low hum of the engine, like gentle white noise, which made Liang Yu close his eyes without realizing it.

Ever since his grandmother was poisoned by Cao Lan, Liang Yu has not had a good night's sleep.

Now that he suddenly relaxed, Liang Yu quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The flight attendant approached the two with a menu in hand. Just as she was about to speak, Yan Qi raised his hand slightly and swept his gaze over them with an undeniable pressure.

With just one glance, the flight attendant immediately fell silent and began to breathe softly.

Yan Qi didn't speak, but lowered his eyes and took the menu. He slowly traced the lines of his pen on the paper, silently ordering food for Liang Yu, writing down the meal preparation requirements, and then handed the menu back to the flight attendant.

After the flight attendants left, he openly looked at Liang Yu.

His gaze slid from her slightly furrowed brows to her trembling eyelashes, and then to her slightly parted lips.

They wouldn't budge an inch, as if they wanted to completely hide Liang Yu in their eyes.

Yan Qi's burning, wet gaze held an almost obsessive possessiveness as he quietly and frantically clung to Liang Yu's sleeping face.

It's like guarding a lost treasure that has been found again.

After the plane encountered turbulence, it bounced slightly for a while, and Liang Yu slowly opened his eyes during this turbulence.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched lazily.

A moment later, the flight attendant brought over a glass of peach juice and asked softly:

"Madam, would you like to have a meal now?"

Liang Yu remained silent for a few seconds, but ultimately succumbed to hunger and nodded decisively.

The flight attendant said softly, "Please wait a moment, it will be brought to you shortly," and then left.

Liang Yu didn't even notice that they hadn't ordered yet; he just happily took a big gulp of peach juice.

It's delicious; she loves peach juice the most.

A moment later, the flight attendant brought Liang Yu's meal.

Liang Yu looked down and saw that all of them were foods she loved to eat.

Most importantly, each dish was cut into small pieces.

Liang Yu couldn't help but praise:

"Your food here is quite good, and your service is very attentive. I will give you a good review."

The flight attendant chuckled softly, not seeking credit at all, and replied in a low voice:

"Madam, the gentleman next to you ordered all of these meals for you."

After the flight attendant finished speaking, her gaze swept back and forth between Liang Yu and Yan Qi before she immediately got up and left.

As soon as I got back to the catering room, I started gossiping with the chief flight attendant:

"The handsome guy and beautiful girl sitting together in business class, I wonder if they're a couple? That guy is so handsome and considerate, he even remembers the girl's preferences perfectly."

"When ordering, he specifically asked that the food be cut into small pieces. These days, it's so rare to find a man who's both handsome and thoughtful!"

The flight attendant replied:

"Actually, that girl was also very pretty and well-mannered. It's rare to see a girl who looks this good even without makeup these days."

Liang Yu was completely unaware of this.

She paused for a few seconds after hearing the flight attendant's words, then subconsciously turned to look at Yan Qi beside her.

Yan Qi had been quietly reading a financial magazine.

His profile was sharply defined, with a cold, clean look, and the corners of his eyes were deep and dark, like a cold, damp pool that never sees the light of day.

Liang Yu pursed his lips and said to Yan Qi in a very low voice:

"Yan Qi, thank you for ordering for me. These are all my favorite dishes."

Yan Qi paused for a barely perceptible half-second while turning the page.

He slowly raised his eyes, his dark gaze falling on Liang Yu's face. His voice was low and husky, revealing little emotion.

"Just something I ordered."

"There are only a few dishes served on airplanes, it just so happens that we happened to be there."

He spoke so casually, as if it were merely a coincidence.

Liang Yu smiled at Yan Qi and began to eat.

She deliberately buried her head behind the side panel, which was a good way to avoid Yan Qi's gaze.

Little did she know that Yan Qi, with his superior position, could see right through her eating.

Yan Qi lowered his eyelashes, and his gaze naturally fell on Liang Yu.

Liang Yu held a fork, picked up a piece of food, and began to put it in his mouth.

Even with her wrists braced against the table, her hand holding the fork still trembled uncontrollably.

So the food kept circling around her mouth, poking her cheek and then her lip, struggling several times before finally being accurately put into her mouth.

Yan Qi's lip line subtly lifted slightly before returning to a taut, straight line.

Liang Yu wasn't sleepy after finishing her meal, and her phone's network was lagging. Feeling quite bored, she quietly asked Yan Qi:

"Yan Qi, is your sudden trip to Country A for tourism?"

Yan Qi hummed in response and replied in a low voice:

"I'm planning to take a casual stroll and maybe meet an old friend."

Liang Yu said "Oh," then smiled at Yan Qi and didn't ask any further questions, simply chatting casually with Yan Qi for a few minutes.

During the more than ten-hour flight, Liang Yu felt relaxed and at ease because he was sitting next to Yan Qi.

As soon as the plane came to a stop, Liang Yu received a message from Geng Shi.

"Young lady, I'll be waiting for you at the exit."

After reading the message, Liang Yu immediately asked Yan Qi:

"Yan Qi, was someone picked you up at the airport after you got off the plane?"

Yan Qi stood up, took Liang Yu's suitcase down, pushed it next to Liang Yu's legs, and replied in a deep voice:

"Yes, I'll go directly to the hotel. You can contact me anytime."

Liang Yu nodded and said okay. At this moment, the flight attendant came over with a smile and reminded them that they could disembark.

After Yan Qi accompanied Liang Yu out of the covered bridge, he whispered to Liang Yu:

"I'll go get my luggage. I'll leave you here. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

Liang Yu replied with a smile:

"Okay, I'll message you when I book my return ticket."

Yan Qi hummed in agreement and said:

"Okay, you can go now."

Liang Yu waved to Yan Qi with a smile, then pulled her suitcase toward the exit.

Yan Qi stood still, his gaze fixed on Liang Yu's back.

Only after Liang Yu's figure disappeared around the corner did Kang Liang quickly walk to Yan Qi's side and whisper:

"Young Master Qi, I have arranged to meet with President Liang at 2 PM this afternoon."

Yan Qi hummed in agreement and turned to walk towards the VIP passage.

It is 8:00 AM in Country A.

Sunlight streamed through the airport's massive glass curtain wall, casting a large patch of light and shadow on the ground.

As Liang Yu pulled his carry-on suitcase out of the arrival gate, he immediately spotted Geng Shi waiting in the crowd.

Geng Shi wore a dark gray suit, which accentuated his tall and straight figure and gave him a calm and capable demeanor.

The moment he saw Liang Yu, the seriousness on his face vanished, and he quickly walked towards Liang Yu.

Geng Shi walked to Liang Yu's side, took her suitcase from her, and looked at Liang Yu's face, saying gently:

"Young Miss, you've worked hard."

"Has Cao Lan made things difficult for you during this time?"

Liang Yu looked up at Geng Shi and replied truthfully:

"Cao Lan didn't do anything to me, but she poisoned my grandmother. When I see Liang An, I'll have a good talk with him about this."

Geng Shi looked at Liang Yu in astonishment, as if he had heard some earth-shattering news, and asked incredulously:

"Young Miss, are you saying that Cao Lan poisoned your grandmother?"

Liang Yu paused, and asked in surprise:

"You didn't know about this?"

Geng Shi shook his head, instantly noticing something unusual in Liang Yu's strange reaction, and replied seriously:

"Miss, I'm certain I haven't heard of this. Is there something wrong?"

Liang Yu slowly exhaled, frowning as he asked:

"If you haven't heard of this, what about Liang An? Does Liang An also not know about it?"

Geng Shi nodded affirmatively and explained:

"I was responsible for arranging and carrying out all of Mr. Liang's instructions. Logically speaking, if Mr. Liang knew about this, he would have instructed me to handle it."

Liang Yu was taken aback, then muttered to himself in disbelief:

"Who could it be?"

Geng Shi asked cautiously:

"Young Miss, what do you mean by this?"

Liang Yu explained:

"Cao Lan poisoned my grandmother and coerced me into giving up my inheritance rights. However, someone took the antidote from Cao Lan and gave it to me. My grandmother is fine now."

"At first I thought Liang An knew about this, and that Liang An had Cao Lan give me the antidote. But now it seems that the person who brought the antidote was not Liang An."

"But if it's not Liang An, then who could it be?"
