You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"you say."

"You should also know that the reason Ye Yunjin released the people last night was because the old man brought his troops there. She didn't have the confidence to confront the military head-on, but that doesn't mean she really gave up."

"Although I've only spoken to Ye Yunjin face-to-face once, I've met so many different kinds of people that I know her personality all too well."

"Once this kind of woman sets her mind on something, she will never give up easily just because she suffered a loss once."

Bai Yuning's expression was very serious. "After I got back last night, I also checked the Ye family's recent activities. I didn't know until I checked that the Ye family is preparing to expand and grow in mainland China."

"The Ye family has been operating in Hong Kong and overseas for so many years. In terms of capital, connections, and industrial layout, they have long had enough strength to enter the mainland market."

"But of all times, they had to make a move at this critical juncture."

"Don't you think the timing is too coincidental?"

Jiang Che naturally understood Bai Yuning's unspoken meaning.

The reason Ye Yunjin chose to make his moves on the mainland at this time was, frankly speaking, to pave the way for himself.

Once the Ye family has established a foothold in the mainland, her bargaining chips will be much more than just the assets she has in Hong Kong.

Once the Ye family has developed all their business connections and networks in the mainland, even if Grandpa were to intervene when Ye Yunjin tries to capture Su Qinghe, he might not be able to easily intimidate her.

This woman isn't playing a single move, but a whole game.

That's my judgment too.

Jiang Che had considered all of Bai Yuning's points, which is why he was considering returning to the capital early to take over family affairs.

Otherwise, if it really comes to that, he will truly become an incompetent husband, only able to watch helplessly as his wife is taken away, powerless to do anything about it.

However, Ye Yunjin won't take any action in the short term, so it's best to relax during this time.

The days to come will likely not be so easy; everything will have to wait until we return to the capital to make further plans.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che turned his gaze back and looked down at Su Qinghe, who was sleeping soundly with her head on his shoulder.

The little girl's breathing was long and even, her eyelashes trembled occasionally, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. I wonder if she was having a sweet dream.

After the car got on the highway, the road surface became much smoother, and the only sounds in the car were the faint hum of the air conditioning vents and the occasional soft breaths from Su Qinghe.

About half an hour later, the car entered the departure level of Atlanta Airport and came to a smooth stop in front of the terminal.

Bai Yuning got out of the car first and waited ahead with her suitcase.

Jiang Che gently patted Su Qinghe's shoulder, "Qinghe, wake up, we're here."

Su Qinghe groggily raised her head, her eyes narrowed to slits, her mouth opening and closing as if she were still in a daze.

"Hmm...where are we?"

"Airport."

"Airport...oh, airport..."

Su Qinghe repeated it vaguely, then leaned her head on Jiang Che's shoulder again.

Jiang Che quickly reached out to support her, smiling helplessly, "Don't sleep anymore, or you'll have to spend the night in the car."

Su Qinghe finally came to her senses a little more, rubbing her eyes as she slowly got out of the car.

The three entered the terminal and went to the check-in counter to get their boarding passes.

Su Qinghe originally thought she was just flying back to Lincheng, and didn't even bother to check the destination.

After she entered the waiting area and sat down, she glanced down at her boarding pass and suddenly froze.

"Huh?"

She looked at it carefully again.

Then I watched it again.

"Wait a minute—" Su Qinghe suddenly turned her head, staring at Jiang Che with her round eyes, "Ah Che, why does the destination on this boarding pass say... Lucheng?"

Su Qinghe stared wide-eyed at the two words clearly printed on the boarding pass: "Lucheng".

She flipped her boarding pass over to look at the back, then flipped it back to look at the front.

She had suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes, or that the ticket was printed incorrectly, but she never suspected that Jiang Che had done it on purpose.

As a result, no matter how she looked at it, the destination column was always printed with the words "Lucheng" in black and white.

"Ah Che, did you buy the wrong ticket?"

"I didn't make a mistake." Jiang Che shook his head.

"Then why is it Xiamen?"

"Of course it's because I didn't have enough fun in Atlanta, and I remember you said you wanted to see the arcade streets and coconut trees, so I bought a plane ticket to Atlanta."

Su Qinghe was taken aback. Had she said that?

She frantically searched her memory, and suddenly she found it.

It seems... it seems that I did say it casually once while watching a travel documentary at home.

She was curled up on the sofa eating grapes when a documentary about the old town of Xiamen was playing on TV.

The scene is filled with arcade buildings with a Southeast Asian flair, and tall coconut trees line the streets, with sunlight filtering through the leaves to create dappled patterns on the entire street.

With a grape in her mouth, she mumbled, "Wow, this place is so beautiful! I really want to go there sometime."

She didn't take it seriously after saying it, and completely forgot about it the next day.

And then... he remembered it?

Su Qinghe's nose suddenly felt a little sore.

Just how many of my casual remarks did this person secretly remember?

However, this slight bitterness lasted for less than a second before being swept away by the overwhelming joy and excitement.

"Really?! We're really going to Xiamen?!"

"Yes, really."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Su Qinghe was instantly overjoyed. The gloom that had been hanging over her heart because of what happened in Asia City was blown away by a strong wind, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

She jumped up, clutching her boarding pass, then grabbed Jiang Che's arm, pulled him up from his seat, and skipped towards the boarding gate.

Behind her, Bai Yuning dragged her own suitcase with one hand and carried Su Qinghe's forgetful tote bag with the other. Looking at the backs of the two people in front of her, she shook her head helplessly and sighed with a smile.

This girl doesn't seem like someone who was just kidnapped yesterday at all; her recovery ability is stronger than anyone she's ever met.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the child wasn't kidnapped yesterday, but rather went to an amusement park.

……

When the plane landed at Xiamen Meilan Airport, the sky outside was already tinged with a light orange hue.

The three of them exited the terminal, got into the business car that Jiang Che had arranged in advance, and drove towards the seaside guesthouse.

Although the scenery in Xiamen is not much different from that in Atlanta, Su Qinghe still felt that everything was very new and exciting.

From the moment he got on the bus, his face never left the window.
