Chapter 164: Home Sweet Home
By the time the plane landed back in their country, Rong Yue woke up by herself, her body sensing the descending of the plane.
Surprise and a little bit of worry flashed through her eyes when she saw the little black lines under Qin Yichen's eyes.
All of the time that she woke up, she had seen him working, and even now, his eyes were still fastened to the computer.
"Have you suddenly discovered my charm?" Qin Yichen asked, turning to face her with his lips curled up with a smile.
He had known when she woke up and felt her gaze on him the whole time. He had of course not turned because he was hoping this little girl could discover his charm and refuse to let go.
Rong Yue rolled her eyes, not taking his words to heart.
"It's not good for the body to work long hours without resting, you have gone for three days without proper rest," Rong Yue chided gently, totally not seeing him as an outsider.
Upon hearing her words, Qin Yichen's smile deepened and he closed the laptop.
"Are you afraid that I would be unable to satisfy you in the long run?" He teased, enjoying the view as Rong Yue's eyes widened and her mouth hung open with lack of a proper reply.
"Scoundrel," she mumbled and then turned away, her face a faint shade of red from being embarrassed.
Qin Yichen also didn't push her too much, only leaning backward as they waited for the plane to land.
Since it was a private plane and the both of them barely had any luggage, they got off with the bags they had carried in and went to the arrival hall directly.
However, Rong Yue was stumped when she was where they were. This she turned to look at him, curiosity shining in her eyes.
"There's the matter of the guards that were sent over, also, you haven't seen Mother in a while, she must be worried by now," Qin Yichen explained, as he walked towards the car that was there to pick them up.
Lu San rushed out as soon as they got close to him, his usually cold face was brimming with happiness.
"Young Master, Young Mistress, welcome back," he greeted, opening the car booth and dropping the bags inside before opening the door.
Rong Yue acted like she hadn't heard his greeting, after all, no matter how many times she had told him, he was set on calling her what he wanted.
"Congratulations, young Mistress, the both of you are truly a pair made in heaven. To win the same competition for the country must be heaven's sign," Lu San added cheerfully as he drove out of the airport.
Rong Yue's face darkened as she glared at him. However, a certain young master beside her was beaming and full of smiles.
He looked at Lu San's reflection through the rearview mirror and felt that he looked good, especially today.
"When the store and the jewelry store are launched, you can take two weeks off to rest," he told him generously.
Lu San's eyes widened with surprise and he glanced at Rong Yue that still had a sullen expression.
Understanding what happened, he nodded hurriedly and thanked him.
He couldn't wait to tell the other five that he now had a two weeks unscheduled break from work!
Since the country hadn't announced their arrival back from the competition, even Rong Xia, her mother wasn't expecting her back.
However, because of the time difference, when they arrived, it was still quite early in the morning in their country and she was still home.
When she saw her daughter, Rong Xia that had just dressed up to go out of the day and was only waiting for Lu San burst into tears, as she hugged her.
"Xiao Yue, you have returned to mother," she cried out, hugging her daughter tightly.
Rong Yue felt her eyes grow misty as she also hugged her back.
Qin Yichen watched the both of them, saying nothing to disturb the moment.
"How was it over there? Was the weather to your liking? I didn't expect that you would come back so soon," Rong Xia rambled on.
Rong Yue answered her questions patiently, taking the time to bond with her mother.
"Yichen, thank you for accompanying her, I would have been too worried if she had to go all alone," Rong Xia finally said the moment she remembered that they had come together.
Qin Yichen replied politely and then excused the both of them.
Since he had a flat just across from theirs, he decided to get some rest before they had to start the findings on who sent the men over to work for Rong Yue.
On the other hand, Rong Xia brewed tea for her daughter, knowing that she enjoyed watching her do it.
In the past, she had only been able to do it with any type of cup that they had. But now that things have gotten better, she had a complete tea set now and really wanted her daughter to watch her use it.
"Mother, about those men that came over to assist, hope you haven't given them too much control?" Rong Yue asked carefully.
Even though it wasn't obvious, she could tell that her mother's mind was getting better. Which meant that keeping her busy was probably a good thing?
But she also didn't want to burden her with a sensitive matter like this, thus, she had to ask carefully.
Rong Xia's hands that were holding the large tea cup paused, her eyes flashing a little before she raised her head up.
"Lu San seems to be handling them. They are only in charge of the store and don't go to the jewelry factory," ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Rong Yue nodded and let it go, "I'll check matters later and also round things up for the store opening."
Thanks to Qin Yichen, she had been able to achieve the design she wanted with her designer and the team that he sent down.
So even though she had been gone for two weeks thereabout, work didn't stop the whole time.
