Chapter 80 A Gentle Kiss from You~
This was a possessive hug.

Shen Zhaoyi hadn't expected this at all; her mind went blank for a moment, and her nose was filled with Su Ye's refreshing scent.

She did not respond.

One hand hung at his side, while the other gripped the handle of his suitcase.

To passersby, this scene looked like a couple reluctantly saying goodbye.

"Be careful on the road," Su Ye's voice came from above. "Let me know when you get home."

He paused, then tightened his grip on his arm a little more.

"It's gone by so fast, I'm really... reluctant to let it go."

Shen Zhaoyi's cheek was pressed against his chest, and she could clearly hear his heartbeat quickening for her sake.

She chuckled, "It's not like I'm not coming. I'll have plenty of time after I finish my business."

How long will it take to complete?

"At the earliest, it will take half a month." She thought for a moment, "At the latest, I'm not quite sure."

The factory building in the startup park that the system gave her is still a mystery, but Shen Zhaoyi always feels that it's almost time to solve it.

Su Ye was clearly not satisfied with the answer after hearing it.

He coaxed in a low voice, "Then, can you make time to spend my birthday with me?"

Shen Zhaoyi nodded immediately.

Birthday?

Of course it has to pass.

We must live well!
When she gets back, she'll research which venue here is the most expensive to rent.

After receiving the promise, Su Ye smiled triumphantly where she couldn't see.

The boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker, and Shen Zhaoyi raised her hand to push the door open.

"I really have to go."

However, Su Ye did not release the force.

The next second, I felt a warm touch on my forehead.

Although it was only for a moment, Shen Zhaoyi knew that Su Ye had kissed her.

Stepping out of that embrace, she looked up and saw the undisguised love in the other person's eyes.

Once on the plane, it wasn't until the panic of the plane climbing that she realized she might really be going to crash.

Although the return trip no longer requires a layover, it still takes about the same amount of time as the journey there.

It was already dark when we arrived in City C.

As Shen Zhaoyi walked out of the terminal, Xu Meng was already waiting for her in the parking lot.

After putting her luggage in the trunk, she noticed a large cloth bag next to it, which looked bulging, and she didn't know what was inside.

Sitting back in the passenger seat, Shen Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally back."

"Are you hungry? Do you want to grab something to eat?" Xu Meng asked as she turned the steering wheel out of the parking lot.

"I'm not hungry, I ate on the plane, let's go home first."

After saying that, she took out her phone and called Su Ye to let him know she was safe.

Xu Meng has become much bolder during her commute, and can even chat with someone while driving.

Seeing that Shen Zhaoyi's expression while staring at her phone was different from before, she couldn't help but gossip: "Zhaoyi, where have you been these past few days?"

"I met a friend in G City. I'll introduce you to him sometime in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xu Meng understood—

Another new character.

After explaining her own situation, Shen Zhaoyi asked Xu Menglai, "You can't just stay home watching variety shows all three days off, can you?"
"No!"

Xu Meng retorted that she rushed back to her hometown to be with her parents after tidying up the walk-in closet that day.

Speaking of this, she pointed to the trunk and said, "My mom also asked me to bring some things back for you to try."

Shen Zhaoyi felt a warmth in her heart. "What a coincidence, I also brought you a gift."

"Really? What is it?"

"I won't tell you, wait until you get home and see for yourself."

Xu Meng pursed her lips, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Back at Biyue Bay, the suitcases and packages were unloaded, and the two of them carried them into the elevator together. The moment they opened the door, the wealthy man, who hadn't seen anyone for three days, screamed anxiously in his cage, as if making an accusation.

Shen Zhaoyi quickly went over and opened the cage.

"Alright, alright, you can't disturb the neighbors so late at night."

The little guy's foot was all healed, and he nimbly climbed down the railing and began to explore the ground.

Seeing that it could stay still on its own, Shen Zhaoyi stopped paying attention and turned to take the things out of the suitcase.

Fortunately, Su Ye stepped in to help at the last minute.

The things she had haphazardly stuffed in were now neatly organized into categories.

He took out the two bags of sausages from the top and handed them to Xu Meng, telling her to make them herself. Then he took out two embroidered shawls.

The shopkeeper said it was handmade, but that's hard to verify. However, the design is quite attractive.

She kept one, and put the other one into Xu Meng's hand as well.

"Well, I don't know if you like this color."

“I like it!”

“And these…” Shen Zhaoyi continued to take things out.

She brought back almost everything sold in the specialty shops, and now Xu Meng's hands were overflowing.

"Zhaoyi, isn't this a bit too much?"

“Not much, you can’t carry it all, right? Perfect timing, I also bought you a matching embroidered handbag.” Shen Zhaoyi opened it up. “Here, put it in.”

This time, I've given out almost all the gifts.

Only then did Xu Meng have time to untie the bag her mother had prepared.

Inside were several jars of pickled vegetables, as well as cured sausages and bacon, and two free-range chickens.

Even the kind that gets ripped off.

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at it and asked, "Can we finish all this in a week?"

Xu Meng considered it carefully for a moment, then shook her head.

"Based on our appetites, it should take about half a month, I estimate."

"Then freeze it for now, so it doesn't spoil."

I need to go to S City on the 10th, and I can't just leave uneaten food behind, so I'll store it in the fridge first.

Xu Meng agreed, turned around, picked up the pile of food, and headed to the kitchen to divide it into portions before storing it, making it easier to thaw when eating.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Zhaoyi threw the clothes she had taken out into the laundry room and went back to her bedroom to start removing her makeup.

After changing into my pajamas, I came out to find the kitchen already tidy up.

Xu Meng was squatting in front of the cage tidying up at that moment.

Although his activities have been restricted these past few days, it hasn't affected the tycoon's eating, drinking, and daily life at all.

Seeing that she had been busy ever since she came in, Shen Zhao went over to greet her, "Take a rest for a while, there's no rush."

Xu Meng didn't even look up, continuing what she was doing.

"It's too late, I need to go back after I finish here!"

"Alright, stop going back and forth. Just stay here tonight. It's not like there aren't any rooms available."

Shen Zhaoyi overturned her initial principles in just one second.

Xu Meng exclaimed "Ah!"

"Just consider it a chance to get used to it in advance."

"I'd like you to come with me to S City next week. We'll probably be staying for more than half a month. I can't keep booking hotels for you during that time, can I?"

When the property certificate for that villa was sent over, Xu Meng saw it and naturally knew that there was a house there.

However, what she's more worried about now is—

What will happen to the birds if we're gone for so long?
"Take it with you."

Shen Zhaoyi nudged the wealthy man who had already come closer, and the little guy immediately grabbed her finger. "I'll go get the quarantine certificate tomorrow, so I can go back to work."

"I'll go with you!"

"Row."
