Ding Dian opened the door, and as expected, it was Yang Yu.
The two exchanged smiles, and everything was understood without words.
Yang Yu excitedly approached Lin Jia and said, "Where do you want to go? I'll arrange it right away."
Seeing Yang Yu as excited as a child, Lin Jia felt that the gloom in her heart had suddenly dissipated a lot after all these days.
Of course, this was all prearranged by Ding Dian and Yang Yu; with Ding Dian as the insider, figuring out Lin Jia's preferences was simply too easy.
Lin Jia chuckled and said, "What time is it? We should go tomorrow at the earliest; I haven't even packed my luggage."
Yang Yu hurriedly replied, "It's fine, if we forget anything, we can just buy it later."
"I'm not like you, a rich kid; I'll just bring my own stuff," Lin Jia shook her head.
Ding Dian interjected, "Someone's paying for you, so why not take it? Just think of it as robbing the rich."
Yang Yu quickly added, "Right! Right! Right! It's a privilege to travel with you, Lin Jia; how could I let you spend your own money? Where do you want to go?"
Seeing Yang Yu's obedient demeanor, Lin Jia found it amusing.
However, Lin Jia still refused, saying, "I've checked; the earliest flight to that place you want to go is tomorrow afternoon, so there's no rush."
Yang Yu realized that they were indeed going to the same place as in the story. (Specific place names can't be mentioned because they were actually censored, which is quite ridiculous.)
Yang Yu picked up his phone and sent a message.
"That place sounds great! Although I've never been there, I've heard the scenery is beautiful," Yang Yu said flatteringly.
Ding Dian couldn't stand it and teased, "That's so cheesy; you haven't even made a move yet, and look at you acting so pathetic."
Ding Dian's words made it clear that Yang Yu was pursuing Lin Jia. Although Lin Jia had already heard from Ding Dian that Yang Yu was interested in her, hearing it in front of Yang Yu still made her feel quite embarrassed.
She shot Ding Dian a glare and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yang Yu stood by, grinning foolishly, staring at Lin Jia without saying a word.
Feeling a bit shy, Lin Jia finally spoke up, "Alright, it's getting late; you should head back. I'll call you tomorrow afternoon."
Yang Yu jokingly said, "Let's just go now; I can't wait! What if you change your mind tomorrow? Who will I cry to?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jia burst out laughing.
Seeing Lin Jia smile, Yang Yu continued, "Let's have an impromptu trip!"
Without waiting for Lin Jia to respond, he grabbed her hand and ran outside.
Ding Dian watched as Lin Jia was pulled away by Yang Yu, ignoring her completely. She stomped her foot and muttered jealously, "Hmph! Stupid man, all he sees is Lin Jia; what’s unattainable is always the best."
Yang Yu held Lin Jia's hand tightly as they entered the elevator, showing no intention of letting go.
Lin Jia tried to pull her hand back forcefully, but after two attempts, she failed.
If it were in the past, Lin Jia would have been angry, but she didn't know why today, being held by Yang Yu, she felt no anger at all; instead, there was a faint sense of shyness.
Perhaps she was just annoyed by Meng Yun's recent behavior, so she found an excuse for herself.
Lin Jia secretly observed Yang Yu, his smooth, fair face exuding sharp and cold handsomeness; his deep, dark eyes shimmering with charm; his thick brows, high nose, and perfectly shaped lips all radiated nobility and elegance.
Yang Yu sensed Lin Jia's gaze on him, turned his head, and flashed her a charming smile. Their eyes met for a brief moment.
Lin Jia coughed awkwardly and then said, "Where do you plan to take me? And if you don't let go soon, I might get angry."
Seeing Lin Jia's cute act of feigned calmness, Yang Yu felt an impulse to pull her into his embrace, but he held back; a small compromise could ruin a grand plan, and he didn't want to jeopardize this hard-won situation.
Yang Yu released Lin Jia's hand and smiled, "Wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you. By the time we reach the airport, everything will be ready on that end. Don't worry; I'll take care of everything and won't let you down."
After hearing Yang Yu's words, Lin Jia felt her heart suddenly thump loudly.
She had a strong intuition that if she traveled with Yang Yu, she and Meng Yun would probably never go back to how things were.
On the way to the airport, Lin Jia posted a message on her social media, announcing her trip and wondering if Meng Yun would try to stop her.
However, she was disappointed.
Although Meng Yun was reminiscing about the past moments with Lin Jia while looking at the chat history on his phone, he didn't see her post because Yang Yu and Ding Dian had tampered with her phone, preventing Meng Yun from seeing Lin Jia's social media updates.
At the airport, Lin Jia remained distracted until they passed security, constantly hoping that Meng Yun would show up.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.
