Seeing her posture, Di Mingjue dared not be careless. He immediately rushed over to help her with her suitcase, "I'll go back with you."
Every minute he delayed was another minute for Gu Xiuyu and Ye Ziyu to interact.
"Aren't you buying souvenirs for the children?" Ye Ziyu asked deliberately.
Di Mingjue shook his head, "Souvenirs are only meaningful when bought together. Next time, we'll travel with the children."
Travel?
He was certainly good at talking!
Since he was willing to carry the suitcase, Ye Ziyu let go and handed it to him.
When Ye Ziyu came out again, Ye Chenhan remembered to answer Di Mingjue's question, "I don't know when he's going back either."
"It doesn't matter. You go pack your luggage now, and let's head back as soon as possible," Ye Ziyu said.
She hadn't been back for a few days and missed her three children terribly.
Her luggage had already been brought out, and Ye Chenhan nodded in agreement.
They hadn't brought much when they came, so packing was simple, and they could head to the airport.
...
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, the flight to Si Jiucheng is now boarding. Please proceed to check-in promptly!"
Di Mingjue and Ye Chenhan were going through baggage security, while Ye Ziyu waited nearby. She looked up at the continuously scrolling flight numbers on the large screen, her heart already flying towards Si Jiucheng.
"Alright, let's go in," Di Mingjue said, coming up to her.
Ye Ziyu only lifted her feet after Ye Chenhan caught up.
Ye Shaoting had bought them first-class tickets, but Di Mingjue's last-minute purchase only left him with economy class.
After finding their seats, Di Mingjue called over a passing flight attendant once the plane took off.
"Sir, may I help you?" the flight attendant asked gently, squatting down.
Di Mingjue's gaze was fixed on the first-class cabin, separated by a curtain, "Can I upgrade my seat now?"
"Sir wishes to upgrade?" Seeing Di Mingjue nod, the flight attendant continued, "I'll need to check. If there's an empty seat in first class, you can be upgraded."
Di Mingjue knew what she meant.
After the flight attendant went into first class to check, she apologetically informed him of the result.
He had assumed there would be empty seats in first class, but by sheer coincidence, first class was fully booked today, and economy class passengers could not upgrade.
Although disappointed that an upgrade was not possible, Di Mingjue didn't make things difficult for the flight attendant.
Once the plane was stable, Di Mingjue unbuckled his seatbelt.
Lifting the curtain, the scene in first class was clear.
Gu Xiuyu?
Di Mingjue never expected Gu Xiuyu to be on the same flight back, and sitting next to Ye Ziyu. Without attracting their attention, he asked the flight attendant to call Ye Chenhan out.
"You were looking for me?"
"Go to my seat."
"Huh?"
Di Mingjue pushed the bewildered Ye Chenhan aside and walked straight to his original seat.
Hearing the commotion, Ye Ziyu, who had been resting, opened her eyes. The moment she saw Di Mingjue, she also noticed Gu Xiuyu.
The return journey was already proving to be unsettling!
Ye Ziyu closed her eyes again, then reopened them, sensing the tension beside her.
"Where are you going?" Di Mingjue asked as she got up.
Ye Ziyu didn't even look at him, lifted the curtain, and went to economy class. Before Di Mingjue could follow, Ye Chenhan returned, rubbing the back of his head.
"How could you let her sit in economy class?" Di Mingjue pushed Ye Chenhan away impatiently.
What did he do wrong?
Ye Chenhan looked hurt. He was merely an innocent bystander, yet he was always the one being hurt in the end.
Di Mingjue went to economy class to ask Ye Ziyu to return, but she refused. Unable to persuade her, Di Mingjue had no choice but to go back. For the three to four-hour flight, Ye Ziyu remained in economy class.
