So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"It'll probably still be by plane. There should be a flight to Hangzhou tonight, but I don't know if I can get a ticket."

After browsing several ticketing websites, Zhou You answered Yun Daidai's question.

Generally speaking, airplanes are not usually fully booked, but this time a group of people were stranded in Hangzhou by heavy snow, and many of them must be eager to go home.

Just like people rushing to go home as the Spring Festival approaches, people can become very impatient at certain times, so there are probably quite a few people scrambling for tickets tonight.

"Do you need any help? I know some people in Beijing who might be able to help."

Yun Daidai blurted out a sentence, but regretted it as soon as she said it. If Zhou You hadn't been able to buy a ticket, maybe he could have stayed in the capital for one more day.

"Will this cause you any trouble?" Zhou You asked.

Based on what he learned from Sun Qing yesterday, he had no doubt that Yun Daidai had connections in the capital. Being a sycophant is also a form of connection, and a very useful one at that.

But if Yun Daidai were to ask her suitors for help, wouldn't that cause them to misunderstand?

For example, the number one of the three great illusions in life—she likes me.

This might cause Yun Daidai some unnecessary trouble.

"I know a few wealthy young women in Beijing, and I plan to ask them for help."

Instead of saying that she would indeed be in some trouble and then letting it go, Yun Daidai clarified the misunderstanding to Zhou You.

How could she possibly go looking for those rich kids?

Give them a little sunshine, and those rich guys who have always been successful in love, with inexplicable self-confidence, thinking that all the women in the world like them, will misunderstand to what extent.

It's definitely more serious than the number one of the three great illusions of life.

As Yun Daidai thought about it, her body even trembled slightly, and a chill ran through her heart.

The more you compare them, the more you realize that Zhou You is far superior to those seemingly elite but incompetent fools.

He is always quietly improving himself, and he is very humble.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dai Dai."

Zhou You had no idea that Yun Daidai was having so many thoughts running through her mind.

Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off at most.

The more you learn, the more you realize your shortcomings and deficiencies, and the more you feel you know less, thus naturally learning humility.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, it's nothing." Yun Daidai had already forgotten her earlier regret, and all she felt was the joy of being able to help.

With Yun Daidai's help, the flight back to Hangzhou was easily arranged.

However, perhaps a somewhat unexpected incident still occurred.

She bought two plane tickets, seemingly planning to go back with him.

474. I understand completely.

The flight landed in Hangzhou at 8 p.m.

The number of plane tickets did not increase from two to three. After consulting with Yun Mingyue, Sun Qing stayed in the capital to oversee the overall situation and would fly back to Hangzhou on the wedding day.

As for Yun Daidai's early return to Hangzhou, Yun Mingyue did not object, and she never mentioned the previous house arrest order, as if there had never been any house arrest order at all.

Yun Daidai had not terminated the lease on the apartment she had previously rented near Zhou You's house. She planned to stay there temporarily until the wedding began.

Of course, now that she's very wealthy, she also has another idea.

"What do you think about me buying a house near yours?"

It was very cold, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the street after nightfall. Yun Daidai stood in front of the stairwell of her rented apartment and jokingly asked Zhou You a question.

"Sure, we can visit each other's homes then."

I thought you would object.

"What's the use of my objection?"

As Zhou You spoke, he noticed a hint of surprise flash across Yun Daidai's face and suddenly understood the joy of giving up that Ning Moxin had mentioned.

As long as I put myself out there completely, no one can make me feel bad.

"Didn't I say that I don't completely disobey you?" Yun Daidai raised an index finger and playfully wiggled it from side to side.

"If you want me to, I'll be willing to kneel and lick your boots."

"Please don't say anything strange," Zhou You said, feigning indifference.

"Eek~~"

Yun Daidai drew out her words, then took a few steps back as if she were very scared, "What are you thinking? No wonder you're a man who's about to get married."

"I'm not talking about that kind of groveling/licking boots~~"

She paused, then asked with a mix of teasing and curiosity, "You were able to think of that so quickly, could it be that one of them did that to you?"

Zhou You remained silent.

Why aren't you saying anything? Did I guess right?

Yun Daidai unconsciously pursed her dry lips. Could it be that one of those three had actually done that kind of thing to You?

Yun Mingyue, Ning Moxin, Chen Tangtang.

One of them...maybe more than one? They are clearly high-ranking figures, yet they willingly do such things.

As Yun Daidai thought of this, her expression suddenly became subtle due to certain imagined scenes in her mind.

"No, you're overthinking it. How could they do something like that?"

Zhou You explained casually, "Mingyue is such a strong person, and Moxin is also a highly respected teacher. Although Tangtang is usually a bit unreliable, she is still very reserved in this kind of thing, and she doesn't understand these strange tricks."

"Really?" Yun Daidai was clearly not entirely convinced; her curiosity had been piqued.

who can that be?

Ning Moxin? Chen Tangtang? Or...?

The image of that woman who was always so arrogant and domineering in front of her, as if she could control everything, flashed through her mind.

"Of course!"

Zhou You nodded seriously, then glanced at the time. "I should go back now. You should get some rest. Good night."

Yun Daidai temporarily put aside her wandering thoughts, looked at Zhou You who was preparing to leave, and brought up the question from earlier that day once again.

"You really don't know the answer to the question I asked you during the day, You?"

Zhou You's expression visibly stiffened, then he slowly shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Yun Daidai took small steps closer, first touching her own lips with her finger, then touching Zhou You's cheek, as if she were kissing him.

“I think… I have touched your true heart.”

Goodnight.

She disappeared into the shadows of the stairwell, like a spirit vanishing into the night.

Zhou You watched her until she was completely out of sight, then stood in the cold wind for a while before turning around and walking along the road toward his home.

Yun Daidai's rented room was indeed not far from his home. It only took him about ten minutes to walk to his door. He found his key and opened the door.

A wave of hot air rushed towards me.

The lights were on in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and master bedroom.

As soon as they heard the door open, they all poked their heads out. When they saw that Zhou You had returned, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly ran over.

They surrounded him and dragged him into the house.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked him up and down without blinking, and as they looked, warm smiles appeared on their faces that could dispel any cold.

"Welcome home!" *3

Zhou You returned their warm smiles in return.

"I am back."

That's good. The more you want, the easier it is to lose what you already have. Contentment is the greatest happiness in life.

…………

December 23rd.

The heavens were very kind to us; the cold and gloomy weather that had been lingering for so long cleared up on this day, revealing a clear blue sky with a few wispy white clouds that were a delight to behold.

The number of people attending the wedding wasn't large; they were mostly relatives, friends, and acquaintances.

It's not exactly a small amount. Leaving aside Zhou You, the Yun family, the Ning family, and the Chen family are all large and powerful families. Although not many people from each family know about them, they add up to quite a lot.

Of course, nothing unexpected will happen, since Zhou You has already won over the leaders of the three companies.

Li Muyun has always been very supportive of him. Ning Chutang is now 'well-behaved' and waiting to retire, while Yun Mingyue is his wife.

With the higher-ups expressing their support, how could those below dare to act on their own?

The hotel was a familiar one, the Huancheng Hotel. The wedding was decorated entirely in red, with large red lanterns hanging high, classic screens, antique wooden furniture, and light gauze curtains.

When it came time to finalize the venue setup, Zhou You emphasized that it should be joyous and festive. Although he didn't know exactly what a Chinese wedding would look like, he figured it wouldn't be like a Western wedding, with people holding microphones, saying sentimental things, or wiping away tears.

Zhou You found that strange; on such a joyous occasion, everyone should be happy.

Before it even started, Xiao Chuchu arrived early, accompanied by her secretary Liu Xu. She had openly skipped a day of work. No, that's not skipping work; she was diligently coming to the wedding for the sake of the country and the people.

Xiao Chuchu was dressed very formally, but it looked rather funny against her short and stocky figure, like a little girl pretending to be an adult while playing house.

Ignoring the stares that had drawn her to the surroundings, she found Xiao Yan chatting with Li Muyun.

Li Muyun pointed to the old-fashioned man not far away and said, "Mother-in-law, let me tell you, this old man has a terrible temper. You'd better avoid contact with him in the future."

"If we happen to run into each other by accident, just tell me, and I'll get someone... I'll personally beat him up."

"Well……"

Xiao Yan had some understanding of Chen Tangtang's personality, and it was clear that the mother who raised Chen Tangtang with such a personality was not exactly upright.

She forced a smile. "Okay, I understand."

Ning Chutang, who was not far away, turned around expressionlessly and turned her back to Li Muyun after hearing Li Muyun's instructions.
