Chapter 807: Chapter 808: Male and Female Leads Return
Xia Ximeng wore a look of reluctance to let go, but her son’s job was indeed in Jingcheng, and she felt it would be inappropriate to force him to stay.
Before leaving, Li Yuan also glanced at Li Xiangyang, "Father, take care."
After giving a slightly nodding acknowledgment, he took Huo Yishan by the hand and bid farewell to each person before turning around and walking out the gate.
Li Xiangyang sat on the sofa, his brow involuntarily furrowing.
In the past two days, he had also attempted to investigate this girl, yet couldn’t unearth anything substantial about her; her life was like a blank paper, with no trace of her identity or background.
What was the reason?
She came from Jingcheng, claiming to be from a distinguished family, yet the name Huo Yishan never appeared in the social circles of Jingcheng’s elite. Could she be lying?
Watching the two figures grow smaller in the distance, Li Xiangyang couldn’t help but sink into a deep reflection.
...
On the plane, Huo Yishan, who had been reserved for two days, suddenly felt a sense of rebirth.
"Hey, are all your family members this strange?" Now that they left Country A, she no longer needed to be so guarded in her speech, and couldn’t help but want to chat with Li Yuan about his relatives.
However, turning his head, the man frowned slightly at her.
In half a second, realizing she’d said something wrong, she quickly clarified, "No, I mean your aunt and your second aunt, they seem to look down on me."
Only then did Li Yuan smile contentedly, turning his head to look straight ahead, "Because they all do not wish for me to get engaged successfully on my 28th birthday."
Huo Yishan was taken aback, instantly understanding what he meant.
"Because of the inheritance?"
"Yes."
Indeed, in wealthy families with many siblings, the rivalry is often much more intense.
However, Huo Yishan only noticed the bad in his family members, not knowing that as his ’girlfriend,’ she would also appear as his fiancée at his 28th birthday party.
Arriving in Jingcheng, after an eight-hour flight, Huo Yishan inevitably felt backaches and pains, and went straight home to lie down as soon as she stepped off the plane.
Seeing her tired daughter, Shu Yulan couldn’t help but feel pity, "Shanshan."
"Mommy, I’ve been filming for two days, I’m so tired, let me sleep for a while,"
In bed, Huo Yishan murmured groggily in her exhaustion, having used the excuse of filming to go to Country A for these two days.
Looking at her daughter, weakened by fatigue, Shu Yulan felt it inappropriate to say anything more, sighed, and left her daughter’s room.

After returning to Jingcheng, more than a month passed without notice, and since she was still pretending to be Li Yuan’s girlfriend, filming also seemed impossible.
After returning to Jingcheng, they would certainly still be under surveillance; thus, they still had to go on dates occasionally. As for the days they were not together, Li Yuan would often stay in the hospital citing ’being busy’ as his reason, thus avoiding his father’s vigilance and any questions.
Early in the morning, Huo Yishan received a call from Gu Qiangwei, who said she would arrive in Jingcheng at 1 PM that day.
Not having seen her for three months, Huo Yishan couldn’t contain her excitement, "Then I’ll come to pick you up this afternoon!"
On the phone, Gu Qiangwei hesitated slightly, "Are you busy?"
If too busy, she wouldn’t need to come pick her up since Qin Sijue always used a private jet, and even at the airport, a car would directly bring her to Jueyuan.
"Not busy! I haven’t been filming lately!"
"Alright then." Gu Qiangwei smiled, hung up the phone, and began boarding her flight.
On the plane, looking out at the blue sky and white clouds through the aircraft window, time seemed to have flown by—it had been three months, and she couldn’t help but miss her family in Jingcheng greatly.
