Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Lu Wanting nodded and said she could manage a little.

"Great, then come with me."

"Alright!"

Having said all this, Lu Wanting grabbed the files and went downstairs.

Zhou Yuwen had just hung up the phone when Zheng Yanyan, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't contain her excitement: "Zhou Yuwen, are you playing golf this week?"

"Yeah."

"Can you take me with you? I've never played golf before!" Zheng Yanyan immediately started whining.

Su Qing snorted at this and said, "Zhou Yuwen is going there for work, why would he take you? To embarrass him?"

"What do you mean! I'll dress up beautifully. Isn't that going to make Zhou Yuwen look good?" Zheng Yanyan frowned and replied.

Su Qing sneered even harder when she heard that.

Zheng Yanyan had no choice but to look at Zhou Yuwen with a pitiful expression.

Zhou Yuwen patted her leg and said, "Calm down for a bit."

"I've never played golf myself. If you want to go, make an appointment by yourself. Then you can go with Su Qing to learn from her—you might actually find it useful someday."

When Zheng Yanyan realized Zhou Yuwen wasn't willing to take her, she got a bit disappointed and said, "I'm definitely not going with her. If I go, I'll go with Linlin."

"Like I even want to go with you!" Su Qing rolled her eyes dramatically.

The two started bickering again.

Zhou Yuwen just sighed helplessly. After all the noise and chaos, three hours later, they finally arrived in Jinling.

Since the school hadn't started yet, and Shen Yu hadn't arrived either, it didn't feel appropriate for Su Qing to stay at school alone. So Zhou Yuwen took all of them to his spacious apartment.

Zhou Yuwen's large apartment conveniently had three bedrooms. Lu Lin had been living in one for a while, and with a bit of tidying, the space could comfortably accommodate four people.

The only awkward part was figuring out where Zhou Yuwen would sleep at night.

In February, Xu Huai was already bright and sunny, but upon arriving in Jinling, it felt even warmer—likely because it was a larger city. The girls here seemed more uninhibited too.

On the streets, there were already several wearing short skirts and shorts.

At the doorway of the apartment, Lu Lin came out to greet them, dressed casually in a flannel pajama set and looking sleepy.

When Zheng Yanyan saw Lu Lin like this, she couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Oh my God, Linlin, what's with your look! You're not even a little bit polished."

"What's the point of being polished? There's nobody else around here." Lu Lin yawned and replied.

Zheng Yanyan laughed so hard she covered her mouth. "You're really something. Zhou Yuwen sees you like this all the time!"

"And so what? He only has eyes for you, not me." Lu Lin glanced at Zhou Yuwen as she said this.

Those words were music to Zheng Yanyan's ears, but Zhou Yuwen also caught Lu Lin's look and thought to himself, her words are loaded with meaning.

Still, no matter how wistful she might be, there was nothing he could do in a situation like this—he couldn't just pull her into his arms in front of everyone and comfort her.

Zhou Yuwen mentioned there were some local specialties in the trunk.

"Lu Lin, help me grab them."

The trunk was filled with local dishes and clothes Mrs. Zhou had packed for them. Zhou Yuwen hadn't thought it necessary to bring so much, but his mother had insisted on stuffing the trunk full.

Since it didn't require any effort on his part, he figured he might as well bring some along.

As it happens, Zheng Yanyan really enjoyed a particular specialty from Zhou Yuwen's hometown—something called "pancakes."

She found Zhou Yuwen's family's pancakes wrapped with small fish and chili incredibly delicious.

Now, she grabbed Lu Lin's hand and said, "Oh Linlin, let me tell you, I tried this amazing dish at Zhou Yuwen's house. Once we're upstairs, I'll let you taste it. I swear, pancakes with chili and small fish are to die for!"

"How good could it possibly be?"

"Trust me, you've never had anything this good before! Zhou Yuwen's mom made it herself for us!"

"You met your future mother-in-law already?"

"Ugh, stop teasing me!"

Lu Lin really had a way with words—just a few sentences, and Zheng Yanyan's face was already flushed with joy, looking utterly pleased.

The things Mrs. Zhou had packed for Zhou Yuwen, combined with Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan's luggage, left the group carrying quite a few bags.

Once they got inside the house, Zheng Yanyan immediately sprawled on the couch, sighing, "Finally home!"

She seemed to feel more at home here than she did back in her place in the Capital City!

After all, this apartment was luxuriously decorated and offered stunning views.

Staying here was genuinely comfortable.

Su Qing glanced at her in her "natural habitat" and snorted internally before placing the pickled vegetables prepared by Yang Lirong and her mother into the fridge.

Lu Lin helped out as well.

At this point, Zheng Yanyan realized she was lying down too soon. She hurried over in her slippers to offer help.

Lu Lin, who was always irregular with her meals, started to feel a bit hungry.

And with Zheng Yanyan's repeated praise of Mrs. Zhou's small fish chili dish, Lu Lin grabbed a pancake and wrapped some. Surprisingly, it was quite appetizing!

Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing also gathered around the dining table. The three girls chatted as they ate.

Lu Lin teased them, saying, "You two had all the fun, sneaking good food behind my back."

Zheng Yanyan replied, "You're lucky to even get a taste. Think about Shen Yu—she hasn't even had a bite. Let's take a picture and show her. Zhou Yuwen, do you want to try some?"

Zhou Yuwen was on the couch making a phone call and casually replied, "You guys go ahead, don't mind me."

Before the holiday started, Zhou Yuwen had organized 4,000 workers for a factory job. With so many people, accidents were inevitable. Thankfully, Zhou Yuwen had preemptively purchased insurance, but there were still matters that needed handling.

He had already asked Liu Shuo to handle the situation beforehand. Now that he was in Jinling, Zhou Yuwen called Liu Shuo to check on the progress.
