Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 616

Pan Min flew back in first class. Despite this, Su Qing still harbored quite a few complaints about Zhou Yuwen, muttering to Pan Min in a low voice that he usually chartered private flights for himself, but when it came to her mother, he only booked first class. Honestly, it wasn't like he lacked the money.Pan Min found this amusing upon hearing it, stating that first class was already very good.

"If it weren't for Yuwen, I probably wouldn't have been able to fly first class in my entire life."

Actually, Su Qing was just saying that casually. If she were booking her own flight back, she would probably just settle for economy. Wasn't she just trying to show how much she valued Pan Min?

However, Pan Min really did not care about these things.

Ever since going to Jinling to manage the planning company, Pan Min's fashion sense had noticeably improved. She usually wore her long hair pinned up, dressed in a loose and comfortable shirt paired with linen trousers, exuding a relaxed and comfortable aura.

After stowing her luggage, she went to find her seat.

Only to discover that her seat was occupied by someone else.

The person had a blanket draped over their head, likely sleeping.

Seeing this scene, Pan Min could not help but frown. She thought for a moment before finally speaking up, "Excuse me, sorry for disturbing you, but..."

Pan Min was just about to tactfully explain that this was not their seat.

As a result, the person pulled the blanket off their head.

After getting a clear look at the person's face, Pan Min was taken aback. "Yuwen? Why are you here?"

Zhou Yuwen, however, chuckled and said, "Aren't I following Aunt Pan's arrangements and secretly fleeing back to the country?"

Startled by his words, Pan Min immediately replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? I certainly didn't arrange anything for you."

But Zhou Yuwen casually grabbed Pan Min's arm and declared, "Oh, it doesn't matter, Aunt Pan. I'm already here, so you can't exactly kick me off the airplane, can you? You sit here, my seat is right behind yours."

"The night is long, and you'd be bored all alone as one person. Let me keep you good company."

Zhou Yuwen said with a smile.

Looking at Zhou Yuwen acting like this, Pan Min could only shake her head helplessly. "You... absolutely lawless."

To be honest, as an elder, Pan Min did not recommend that Zhou Yuwen do this. Because Zhou Yuwen was no longer a child; he was a man with a family. Moreover, what he had was not just an ordinary family, so he shouldn't act so capriciously.

But then again, Pan Min taking an airplane alone from New York to Shanghai was indeed a dull and tedious journey. Having Zhou Yuwen here chatting and relieving her boredom definitely made things much more relaxed.

She didn't know exactly when it started, but Pan Min felt she could really talk easily with this son-in-law, Zhou Yuwen.

Actually, during her time at the estate, Pan Min had been a little unhappy.

Because Liu Jing was also there.

As both were Zhou Yuwen's mothers-in-law, Liu Jing appeared much closer to him. Furthermore, Liu Jing was highly confident; she naturally grew close to Zhou Yuwen, whereas Pan Min could not. Most of the time, Pan Min simply yielded to Liu Jing.

For example, if both of them brewed a pot of tea for Zhou Yuwen, and Liu Jing brought hers over to him first, even if Pan Min had already prepared her tea, she wouldn't bring it over anymore.

She felt a lack of confidence in front of Liu Jing.

And while chatting with Pan Min on the airplane, Zhou Yuwen brought this topic up, saying that he didn't know why, but compared to Aunt Jing...

"I feel an inexplicable closeness to Aunt Pan."

Zhou Yuwen was indeed very good with words. This sentence gave Pan Min a faint, hidden sense of joy in her heart. On the surface, however, she merely said, "You are trying to coax me into being happy again, aren't you? You probably say the exact same thing in front of her."

"That is definitely not true."

Zhou Yuwen quickly denied it, insisting that he was telling the truth.

"Although Aunt Jing treats me very well, for some reason, I always feel that Aunt Jing is just an outsider to me. Aunt Pan, on the other hand, truly gives me the feeling of family."

Zhou Yuwen spoke with such sincerity that Pan Min felt inexplicably moved.

She said, "You only know how to deceive me to my face."

"I am telling the truth!"

"Alright, alright, I get it. Say no more."

Pan Min said as she turned her head away. By now, the airplane was soaring high above the clouds, and outside the window lay an endless sea of white.

Pan Min turned her head toward the window.

Gazing at the boundless sea of clouds, the corner of her mouth lifted into a smile, entirely unable to control herself.

The news of Zhou Yuwen fleeing back to the country was quickly discovered by the girls at the estate. Upon learning that he had returned, Jiang Xinyi and Zheng Yanyan were both stunned for a moment. Jiang Xinyi had a stronger reaction; she simply could not figure out why Zhou Yuwen had gone back.

Did he have some business to attend to back home?

Zheng Yanyan, however, retorted, "What business could he possibly have? Think about what you've done recently to upset him. He must be annoyed with you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Xinyi's brows shot up immediately upon hearing this.

Zheng Yanyan scoffed, "I'm not talking nonsense."

When Zhou Yuwen was around, they might maintain a harmonious front, but now that he was gone, they wouldn't necessarily keep it up. It looked as though Jiang Xinyi and Zheng Yanyan were about to get into a screaming match.

Fortunately, Lu Lin acted as a fire extinguisher. Before Jiang Xinyi could speak, Lu Lin bluntly pointed out, "Don't just look for problems in others. Are you completely flawless yourself?"

"What problem do I have?"

Zheng Yanyan still tried to make a sophistical excuse.

But Lu Lin, disregarding the fact that Su Qing and Lu Wanting were also at the dining table, stated frankly, "You run to block the restroom door every single day to catch Zhou Yuwen. What should have taken him ten minutes to finish, you forcefully drag out by keeping him trapped in the restroom for an hour. Do I need to continue explaining your problems?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Yanyan blushed deeply.

At this point, Jiang Xinyi also felt too embarrassed to say anything, even though Lu Lin had not specifically mentioned her issues.

Because her problems were pretty much the same as Zheng Yanyan's.

Lu Lin bluntly pointed out that since both of them sought Zhou Yuwen out for that kind of thing every day, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to flee?

"If it were me, I would flee too."

Listening to Lu Lin's words, Lu Wanting almost failed to hold back her laughter, but thankfully covered her mouth in time.

Su Qing, on the other hand, behaved very normally. Recently, she had been able to feel the existence of the little life inside her belly more and more. In her previous life, she had never had a child with Zhou Yuwen, so she had never thought about becoming a mother.

It wasn't until she had a child that Su Qing truly felt what a magical little life a baby was.

In short, the current Su Qing felt that every day was incredibly fulfilling.

She didn't think about anything else, only focusing on safely bringing her child into the world.

After all, this was the true crystallization of love between her and Zhou Yuwen.

After eating a few simple bites, Su Qing stood up and announced, "I am full."

After speaking, she got up to leave with the support of a maid.

Jiang Xinyi, for some unknown reason, offered a polite remark, "You're full already? Won't you eat a little more? Now is the time when the baby needs nutrition the most."

Su Qing replied, "There's no need. I have nutritional supplements in my room."

With that, she turned and left.

Looking at Jiang Xinyi's concerned expression, Zheng Yanyan suddenly scoffed with a laugh. For some reason, she felt Jiang Xinyi was being exceptionally hypocritical.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Xinyi demanded.

"Nothing. Just laughing at how nice of a person you are. Since you don't have a child yourself, are you trying to acknowledge Su Qing's child as an adopted son?" Zheng Yanyan mocked.

"You!" Jiang Xinyi flared up in anger.

But before Jiang Xinyi could finish, Zheng Yanyan had long since fled the scene.

She had no desire to argue with Jiang Xinyi.

Since Zhou Yuwen had returned to the country, what was the point of her staying at the estate?

'Hah, did Zhou Yuwen think he would be fine just by fleeing back to his country?'

'He is thinking too beautifully.'

At this moment, Zhou Yuwen still didn't know that Zheng Yanyan was already planning to fly back to the country to find him.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yuwen already felt like there was no escape.

Because it was only his first day fleeing back to the country.

He had originally wanted to hold Tao Tian tightly and get a good night of sleeping.

Instead, Tao Tian was tracing circles on his chest while nestled in his embrace, asking faintly, "I heard that Su Qing is pregnant?"
