Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The early morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and slanted onto Ji Yan's profile. She stood in front of the window, holding a mobile phone in her hand, but her mind was drifting far away.

She kept looking down at the screen, her fingers sliding gently across it, as if she was editing some important information. Although the men did not allow her to go out, fortunately, they did not confiscate her mobile phone, which gave her a little freedom.

She lowered her head and sent a message to Fang Yuan and his sister, asking them to go to the airport to see their parents off on her behalf.

"I'll leave the airport tomorrow to you guys."

She pressed the send button and then held the phone tightly in her hand, as if looking for some comfort.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands reached out from behind and tightly wrapped around her waist, and the familiar breath instantly surrounded her. She trembled slightly and tried to break free, but finally gave up the resistance.

"What are you thinking about?" A deep voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of irresistible majesty.

Ji Yan took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Nothing... nothing."

She didn't want him to see her panic, so she quickly changed the subject: "What about you? Do you have any plans for today?"

Zheng Haoqian did not answer, but just gently rested his chin on her shoulder, as if feeling the temperature of her body. His silence made Ji Yan feel a little uneasy. She didn't know what he was thinking, and she didn't dare to guess.

At this moment, another man's voice broke the brief silence.

"I heard that my uncle and aunt are going on a trip abroad. Wouldn't Yanyan go and see them off?" Xin Mujing walked into the room, glanced at the two of them, and a vague smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ji Yan was stunned by the question, and then reacted: "How did you know?"

Xin Mujing chuckled: "Oh, Yanyan, have you forgotten? I still have cooperation with the Ji family."

Ji Yan's face changed slightly. She had indeed forgotten about this. If she let these men go to the airport, if they were found to be different, her plan would be scrapped.

She waved her hands and said, "No need! Mom and Dad are just going on a wedding anniversary trip anyway. They will be back soon. I won't go to see them off."

There was a hint of urgency and determination in her tone, as if she wanted to convince herself and the two men in front of her.

Zheng Haoqian and Xin Mujing looked at each other and said nothing. They knew Ji Yan had her own plans and although they did not understand, they would respect her choice.

Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go back to the window to continue her work. At this moment, Zheng Haoqian suddenly spoke: "Yanyan, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Ji Yan paused and turned to look at him: "Really?"

Her eyes lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope. But then she remembered something and her eyes gradually dimmed: "Forget it."

She knew that she couldn't be too greedy. The freedom she had now was enough. She didn't want to take any more risks, and she didn't want to disrupt this peace before her plan succeeded.

……

The airport was bustling with people, dragging their suitcases and moving through the crowd with complicated expressions on their faces. Father and Mother Ji stood in front of the boarding gate, looking around, as if they were looking for someone.

Fang Boheng and Fang Yuan stood beside them, silently bearing Li Qing's slightly reproachful gaze. Li Qing frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Boheng, you have worked so hard. I don't know what happened to Yanyan. She hasn't come yet, and we asked you to see us off."

Before Fang Boheng could open his mouth to explain, Fang Yuan said, "Auntie, don't blame Yanyan. She was too busy because her latest design was about to be completed, and she couldn't spare the time to see you off. However, she specifically told my brother and me to make sure we got you on the plane. Don't worry, Yanyan is always thinking about you."

After listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, Li Qing's expression finally eased a little. She looked at Fang Yuan's lively and cheerful face, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know she's busy, and I won't blame her. Auntie will be very happy to have you send me off."

Fang Yuan smiled but said nothing. She knew how much effort Ji Yan had put into this trip, and she also understood why she couldn't come to see her off in person. However, none of this mattered. What mattered was that Ji's father and mother could start their trip with peace of mind, and Ji Yan could carry out her plan smoothly.

At this time, Fang Boheng also spoke. He said to Ji's father: "Uncle, if you go to Country Y, you must call my mother. She has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

"Okay, don't worry we will go."

Fang Boheng nodded and replied, "Mom and Dad will definitely be very happy then."

Father Ji nodded with satisfaction and a smile on his face. He was excited when he thought about the upcoming trip and his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He patted Fang Boheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then we'll go first. When I have enough fun with your aunt, I'll go visit your parents."

Li Qing also urged, "Okay, it's almost time, let's go in and prepare to board the plane. Boheng, Yuanyuan, you have to take care of yourselves too."

Fang Boheng and Fang Yuan nodded and watched Ji's father and mother walk into the security checkpoint. They turned around and took a deep breath until their figures disappeared in the crowd.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back." Fang Boheng said.

Fang Yuan nodded and followed her brother's steps. She knew that although Ji Yan was unable to see them off in person, her feelings had been conveyed through them. And now, it was time for them to complete their tasks.
