After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan had been creating for a while and had just stretched when her phone alarm went off.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was almost time to board, so she quickly packed her things.

"Baby, it's time for us to board the plane!" Lan Yujuan kissed her daughter, then took her little hand and walked towards the boarding gate.

Chen Mo watched from afar and subconsciously followed. They maintained a certain distance from each other, and he did not go forward to disturb them.

While passing by the restroom, Lan Yujuan saw the boarding gate not far away, with a long queue in front of it, and boarding had not yet begun.

So I simply took my daughter to the restroom first.

When they came out again, the line at the boarding gate had been shortened by half.

Lan Yujuan picked up her daughter and instinctively walked in that direction. Freedom was right in front of her, and she began to relax.

However, she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly saw a familiar figure rushing out from not far away.

"Lan Yujuan!"

"Where do you think you're going, secretly taking my daughter with you?"

After seeing the man's face clearly, Lan Yujuan turned pale with fright and turned to walk back.

The man who rushed out was none other than Liu Zhiyuan, who should have been sound asleep at home!

"Are you crazy?!"

"Who is Lan Yujuan? I don't know you at all!"

In the queue not far away, a woman holding a child slapped Liu Zhiyuan hard across the face and quickly hid behind a staff member.

"Help me, I don't even know that man!"

In an instant, the surrounding staff gathered around upon hearing the news.

In the center of the crowd, Liu Zhiyuan pulled out his plane ticket and identification documents, desperately trying to explain:

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else!"

"That lady holding the child just now, from behind, really looked a lot like my wife!"

"I'm not a bad person, and I have no ulterior motives!"

"During the Chinese New Year, my wife and I had a fight. She took our three-year-old daughter and wanted to go back to her parents' house in the middle of the night. I was worried about her, so I quickly followed her!"

Hearing her husband's familiar voice behind her, Lan Yujuan held her daughter tightly in her arms.

So close, so very close!

The woman who was mistaken for her in the group earlier was about the same height and build as her, also carrying a light-colored backpack and holding a sleeping three- or four-year-old girl in her arms.

If she hadn't suddenly needed to use the restroom, she probably would have been caught by Liu Zhiyuan lying in wait!

The unexpected turn of events before boarding the plane caused Lan Yujuan, who had just relaxed a little, to tense up again.

She just wanted to leave as quickly as possible without alerting anyone around her.

"Follow me!"

Suddenly, a coat exuding masculine hormones was draped over her, obscuring her back and clothing.

A man a head taller than her gently placed his large hand on her shoulder, maintaining a distance that was both intimate and distant, and walked slowly alongside her.

"Don't turn around, I'll take you through the VIP channel."

At this moment, Lan Yujuan was already flustered and disoriented.

The deep male voice that suddenly came from above her head was like a shot of adrenaline for her.

She subconsciously followed the other person's guidance and walked forward, and her heart gradually calmed down.

"Relax, I'm blocking your view, he can't see you," Chen Mo whispered.

Lan Yujuan swallowed nervously and nodded gently, "Mm."

Chen Mo saw that she was carrying the child in her arms and had started to struggle after walking a distance.

After a moment's thought, she offered, "Let me hold the baby!"

Seeing Lan Yujuan raise her head in surprise, looking at him with a puzzled expression, he looked away and made up an excuse on the spot.

"If you're holding the child, it will attract attention. If I hold the child, it will better protect you."

Lan Yujuan's wrists ached, and she was already mentally exhausted. Even after hearing Chen Mo's suggestion, she still hesitated.

"Never mind, I'll try to be more careful."

"My daughter is timid and doesn't like being held by strangers."

To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, her daughter leaned towards Chen Mo, reached out her little hands, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Uncle, hug me~"

In an instant, both of them froze.

Neither of them expected that at the crucial moment, the little guy would transform into a little cow.

Chen Mo cleared his throat and slowly released his hand from Lan Yujuan's shoulder.

Then, mimicking the way her sister held her niece in her memory, she carefully took Liu Xiaoman from her.

This little girl is so light, so fragrant and soft. Holding her in his arms, Chen Mo's heart almost melted!

At that moment, he finally understood why his friend had said those words.

It would be wonderful to have a daughter!

Chen Mo held the little one steadily with one hand, while his other hand remained loosely resting on Lan Yujuan's shoulder.

The two adults and one child passed through the ticket gate without having to queue and boarded the plane ahead of schedule.

Not far away, Liu Zhiyuan finally managed to explain himself and clear his name of suspicion. Then, while queuing up, he looked around for someone.

From afar, Liu Zhiyuan saw a familiar woman's back, which looked exactly like Lan Yujuan.

Even the little girl being held in the arms of the tall man next to him looked exactly like his daughter.

It might look similar, but Liu Zhiyuan immediately ruled it out – impossible!

Lan Yujuan ran away secretly with her daughter; she didn't elope with some random man. Where did this man come from?

Besides, the figures of the two adults and one child clearly indicate a family of three, and they were using the VIP passage in first class.

Impossible, it definitely couldn't be them, mother and daughter.

Just as he was about to board the plane, Liu Zhiyuan tried calling Lan Yujuan again, but still couldn't get through.

He cursed a few times in frustration, then dialed his sister Liu Zhifang's number.

"Zhifang, I'm about to board the plane to Hunan to pick up your sister-in-law and niece."

"If I'm not mistaken, she might have put out a smokescreen and taken the child back by train!"

"Please calm Jiaojiao down for me!"

"Once this matter is resolved, I'll get you a new laptop!"

At the airport exit, Liu Zhifang was overjoyed after hanging up the phone.

"Who says my sister-in-law is useless? She's got quite a handful of things to do!"

Liu Zhigang sat on the steps next to him and sneered:

"Ha, you're just greedy for money!"

"For Liu Zhiyuan's few stinking bucks, they'd do anything, no matter how despicable!"

Liu Zhifang glared at her second brother and said irritably:

"Yes, you're the only one in the family who thinks you're so high and mighty! You treat money like dirt!"

"Then you should stop eyeing the money for the house, and stop eyeing your older brother's wife!"

"Hmph, we're all from the same mother. My brother and I are in cahoots, so what kind of good person could you be?"

The brother and sister walked back, hurling insults at each other, before getting into a car and disappearing into the night.

In the darkness of night, a flight bound for southern Hunan, departing in the early morning, gradually took off.

Lan Yujuan changed her coat and put on a hat, making it the last flight to board before takeoff.

She was holding her child, sitting in the corner of the first-class cabin by the window, while Chen Mo sat on the outside, completely blocking her view.

"Don't worry!" Chen Mo comforted him in a low voice.

"Under normal circumstances, economy class passengers are not allowed to engage in activities in first class."

"We'll disembark first after the plane lands, so you won't run into each other."

Lan Yujuan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly with gratitude, "Yes, thank you!"

I hope the journey will be safe and uneventful.

Before long, the little one, tired from playing, fell asleep in his mother's arms.

After a long and tiring journey, Lan Yujuan gradually felt sleepy as she relaxed.

However, just as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, her husband's voice rang out again from behind the curtain in first class:

"Hello, I would like to upgrade to a cabin class."

Lan Yujuan suddenly opened her eyes, and her drowsiness vanished instantly.
