As soon as Qin Youxuan raised her head, Meimei happily sprinted towards her and dove into her arms.
With her delicate, adorable little face raised, she excitedly said, "Auntie, I have a mom and dad now. I’m going to live with them, and Dad said he’s going to take me to see a castle!"
"A castle?"
Before Qin Youxuan could express her happiness for her, she was shocked by the little girl’s words and was just about to ask when Bai Zheng walked in holding Ye Mingmei’s hand.
His white suit perfectly masked his usual harsh demeanor. The handsome features and deep eyes seemed to be artworks meticulously crafted by God, losing the mischievous aura but gaining a gentle elegance.
He looked similar to how he did at the wedding, enough to capture anyone’s gaze.
Bai Zheng seemed to have also noticed the newspaper Dan Hanjie had tossed onto the coffee table. He raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the charming photo of Ye Mingmei, and then tightened his grip on her hand.
Bai Zheng’s gaze swept over Dan Hanjie on the sofa and landed on Meimei nestled in Qin Youxuan’s arms, looking at her with a loving gaze, as if he wished to give his little princess the best the world could offer.
"Yao said you’re here to say goodbye, and Meimei mentioned you’re going to some castle. What’s going on?" Qin Youxuan reached out to pick up the little girl before her, her clear cat-like eyes looking towards Ye Mingmei.
Ye Mingmei, after getting married, had an even more graceful aura.
Her greatest wish in life was to be with Yu Xiuzhun, and now her dream had come true. With happiness nourishing her, she radiated a kind of bright joy. Upon hearing Qin Youxuan’s words, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"We’re planning to go abroad for our honeymoon and we won’t be returning for a short period."
This was also Bai Zheng’s intention.
The Yu family was no longer connected to him, and Bai Family’s assets were not just in America; a significant portion remained domestically, which was part of his initial arrangement.
If he must leave the Yu family, there’s no way he could continue staying here.
Having been separated for three years, wealth and status were no longer the most important things to them. They wanted to cherish the time with their loved ones, so the family of three planned to travel extensively.
As for how long they’d be gone, Ye Mingmei would follow Bai Zheng’s lead.
"A short period not returning—how long is that exactly? Aren’t you worried Dad will miss his granddaughter?" Upon hearing Ye Mingmei’s words, Qin Youxuan’s heart grew anxious, and she unknowingly tightened her hold on Meimei.
Meimei had grown up under their watchful eyes. Without a father from a young age, everyone, whether in the Ye family or the private villa, had a special fondness for this sensible, well-behaved little girl.
Plus, without a daughter of her own, Qin Youxuan longed to treat Meimei as her own little princess.
Upon hearing Ye Mingmei’s plan to take Meimei away, Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but feel reluctant, but more than anything, she was worried.
Worried about Tingye!
If their little mischievous one found out Meimei was leaving, it would certainly be chaotic!
"With Tingye and Jiang Nan accompanying Dad, he won’t object. Besides, it’s not like we’re never coming back," Ye Mingmei stepped forward, gently taking Meimei from Qin Youxuan’s arms, fixing her little braids as a tender smile appeared.
"We’ve come today to say our goodbyes and because it’s Meimei’s wish too. She wants to see her brother Tingye. If she can’t see him, she won’t leave."
