After boarding the plane, Chu Liuxiang asked Yuan, "So, what do you think of this trip?"

"Exhausting…" He sighed.

"Yu Rou… She knows about our relationship."

"Eh?" Chu Liuxiang's eyes widened with surprise.

"Really?"

"Yes, she asked me about it during the night of her birthday, and I had no choice but to tell her the truth."

"I see… How did she take it?"

"I honestly don't know. She seems okay with it, but she doesn't seem happy about it either." Yuan shook his head.

"That's tough… However, I kind of understand her feelings… I think." Chu Liuxiang sighed, and she turned to look at Meixiu and asked, "What do you think?"

"I also don't know… All I can say is that it's really complicated…" Meixiu also shook her head.

Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows since Meixiu's words contradicted herself. If she doesn't know anything, why would she say it's complicated like she knew about it?

However, Chu Liuxiang decided to not ask her about it.

"Anyways, I'm surprised the Bai Family allowed you to leave so easily. In fact, I was so sure that they'd try to recruit you."

Yuan smiled and said, "Well, I'm really glad that they didn't. It wouldn't be easy to refuse them after all they've done for me and Yu Rou."

The three of them proceeded to talk about their short and chaotic vacation for most of their flight.

Meanwhile, White Lotus notified her father about Yuan's departure.

"I see… So he's gone… What about your relationship with him?" Bai Mengyao asked.

"Honestly, while I will admit that I was too nervous to approach him, I also think it's a little too early for me to propose to him. Although I wasn't able to join his family, I think I've made great progress in our relationship. Once I am ready, I will ask him." White Lotus said.

"Nervous? You? Hahaha!" Bai Mengyao laughed out loud.

"I never thought I'd ever hear such words coming from you!"

"Shut up… I'm going to hang up now. I have some things that I want to discuss with Yu Rou."

"All right. Let me know if you need anything."

"I will."

A few hours later, Yuan's plane landed.

"Can you call your mother and let her know that we will be arriving at the Yu Family soon?" Yuan asked Meixiu.

She nodded and proceeded to call Meifeng on her phone.

"Hello? Yes, we have just landed. We should arrive at the Yu Family soon."

"No, we can get there by ourselves."

"I understand. I will let him know."

After hanging up, Meixiu looked at Yuan and spoke, "Apparently your parents are furious that you kept them waiting for so long."

Yuan smiled and said, "I know they're legally my parents, but let's not call them that for my sanity's sake."

"By the way, Lulu, since the Yu Family is only expecting Meixiu and I, and I don't want to make things more complicated than it already is, can you wait for us to be done? They're pretty awful people, so I doubt you would want to meet with them either."

Chu Liuxiang chuckled, "Too bad I have already met with your parents. However, I was still from the Chu Family at that time, so they had to be respectful to me. Don't worry, I won't interrupt your family reunion. Go on and have fun without me."

"Thank you."

They took a taxi to the Yu Family shortly after.

"It's been a while since I have been to this city so I am going to stroll around for a bit. Call me when you're done." Chu Liuxiang said to them before going elsewhere.

Once Chu Liuxiang was gone, Yuan and Meixiu approached the Yu Family's manor.

"How long has it been since I last seen this place? Feels like forever." Yuan looked at the scenery with a nostalgic expression on his face.

Even though his childhood was horrible, he still had some fond memories of this place.

When they arrived at the front gate, Yuan could see a familiar figure standing inside.

"It's been a while, Miss Meifeng." Yuan greeted her with a smile.

"Mother." Meixiu nodded at her.

"Young Master… Your eyes… So it's true that you've fully recovered…" Meifeng covered her mouth after seeing that Yuan's eyes had regained its beautiful color.

Even though she had seen the concert, she still doubted it.

"Where's the couple?" Yuan then asked her.

"They're currently inside, and it's not just them. Their lawyers and even some of the investors are inside, waiting for your arrival." Meifeng said with a worried frown on her face.

"Wow, what a grand audience that they have prepared for us. I kind of feel bad for making them wait so long now." Yuan chuckled.

"Young Master, I have to be honest with you. You should've just remained in hiding. Why did you show yourself so soon?" Meifeng asked him.

"I just figured that it's about time I stop hiding and confront my problems." Yuan casually shrugged.

"Don't worry, I am no longer the pushover they once knew. Let us in, Miss Meifeng. I will handle the Yu Family." Yuan said to her with a confident smile on his face.

Meifeng took a deep breath and released it a moment later.

"All right." She opened the gates from them and led them inside the Yu Family's territory.

Once inside, Meifeng drove the two of them to the manor that was located about half a mile away.

A few minutes later, when they exited the car, Yuan and Meixiu could suddenly feel many gazes staring at them.

Yuan could see many people watching them from inside the manor. Most of them were servants working there, but a few of them were wearing suits.

After entering the manor, Meifeng led them to the audience room that is usually used for important business meetings.

Upon opening the door, Yuan could see Yu Yong and Tang Lee sitting at the end of a large table, and sitting beside them were a bunch of important-looking people that Yuan vaguely recognized.

Yuan stepped inside the room without any hesitation and with a smile on his handsome face.

"I'm home," he spoke in a calm voice.
