At the airport arrival hall, Su Yao stood among the crowd, wearing a mask and sunglasses, dressed in a simple white sweater. Her phone was constantly flicking through screens, but she wasn't really paying attention to anything. 0
 
She felt a bit nervous, but mostly excited. Amidst the throng of people, she finally spotted that familiar figure. 0
 
Lin Yue stepped out, pulling a suitcase behind her. Those dark eyes scanned the crowd and quickly found Su Yao's position. 0
 
Their gazes locked, as if separated by countless dreams. 0
 
Lin Yue walked briskly toward her, without a hint of hesitation. 0
 
Su Yao rushed forward as well. 0
 
Lin Yue dropped her suitcase and embraced her tightly, pouring all her longing into that hug. 0
 
"I'm back." 0
 
Su Yao felt a lump in her throat and hugged her back just as fiercely. 0
 
"Welcome home." 0
 
In the car, Su Yao was driving while Lin Yue sat in the passenger seat, turning her head to watch her intently. 0
 
"Stop staring at me," Su Yao said softly, her cheeks flushing slightly. "I might not drive well." 0
 
Lin Yue didn’t look away, her tone gentle: "You've lost weight, but you still look beautiful." 0
 
"You've lost weight too," Su Yao teased with a quick glance at her. "But you're still as handsome as ever." 0
 
They both burst into laughter. 0
 
They arrived at Lin Yue's penthouse in the city center. The decor was minimalistic with shades of gray, white, and black. The floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the city skyline outside, while the interior was stark and clean, almost as if no one had ever lived there. 0
 
Every corner exuded a sense of detachment and loneliness from its owner. 0
 
Having spent so much time together, it was Su Yao's first visit to Lin Yue's home. She paused at the entrance for a moment. 0
 
"Your home... is just as I imagined." 0
 
"Really?" Lin Yue turned back with a smile. "What do you mean?" 0
 
"Empty and cold," Su Yao replied succinctly. 0
 
Lin Yue was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "But once you're here, it will have some warmth." 0
 
 
Su Yao felt her face flush at those words. 0
 
"You should rest for a bit; long flights can be exhausting," she said gently, trying to shift the topic. 0
 
But Lin Yue suddenly walked over, took her hand, and pulled her into an embrace. Without warning, she kissed her. 0
 
Su Yao was startled but quickly closed her eyes and kissed back. 0
 
Lin Yue held her tightly, the kiss urgent yet tender. Between their lips, there was a longing that had been suppressed for too long, a yearning that spoke of reunion. It was as if she was saying: I’m back, and I won’t leave again. 0
 
Her hand gently caressed Su Yao's back, feeling her warmth through the thin sweater. The realness of the touch nearly brought tears to her eyes—this wasn’t a dream; Su Yao was truly in her arms. 0
 
"I’ve missed you so much I thought I’d go crazy," Lin Yue breathed into her ear. 0
 
Su Yao’s heart raced wildly as she wrapped her arms around Lin Yue's waist. "I’ve been counting the days until you came back." 0
 
They tangled together all the way to the bedroom. 0
 
The room maintained a gray, white, and black theme: a gray bed, white sheets, and pure black curtains—immaculate and rationally cool. But at that moment, with Su Yao's presence, the entire space felt enveloped in warmth. 0
 
Lin Yue gently pushed Su Yao down onto the edge of the bed, her hands resting on either side of her, looking down at her. "Don’t move." 0
 
Su Yao gazed up at her in silence, her eyes softening like gentle spring water. 0
 
Lin Yue leaned down to kiss her again; this time it was slower and more tender than before, as if savoring the most precious nectar in the world. 0
 
Her lips traveled from the corner of Su Yao's mouth to her cheek and then to her ear, each kiss light as a feather yet sending shivers through Su Yao’s entire body. 0
 
"Lin Yue..." Su Yao softly called her name, her voice trembling slightly. 0
 
"Mm?" Lin Yue replied softly, her breath warm against Su Yao's ear. 0
 
"I..." Su Yao wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words; she could only express herself through a tighter embrace. 0
 
Lin Yue understood her shyness and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. 0
 
Her hand lightly brushed over Su Yao’s shoulder, filled with affection. The texture of the sweater was soft but could not compare to the smoothness of the skin beneath it. 0
 
"Your hands are so cold," Su Yao said softly as she held Lin Yue's hand. 0
 
 
"Nervous," Lin Yue admitted honestly. 0
 
Su Yao was charmed by her sincerity and reached out to wrap her arms around Lin Yue's neck, gently kissing her chin. "Then... let's take it slow." 0
 
Lin Yue slowly began to remove Su Yao's sweater. With each inch of skin revealed, she paused to gaze for a moment, as if memorizing every beautiful detail. 0
 
Su Yao's skin glowed softly in the sunlight, resembling fine jade or fresh flower petals. The three small moles on her neck appeared particularly enticing from this angle. 0
 
"You're so beautiful," Lin Yue exclaimed sincerely, her voice slightly hoarse. 0
 
Su Yao felt shy and wanted to cover herself, but Lin Yue gently grasped her wrist. "Don't hide; let me see you." 0
 
The intensity and depth of Lin Yue's gaze made it impossible for Su Yao to refuse. She could only let Lin Yue's eyes wander over her, her heart pounding like a drum. 0
 
Lin Yue leaned down to kiss her collarbone, where the scent she loved most lingered—a faint fragrance of gardenia mixed with Su Yao's unique body scent, intoxicating her. 0
 
"Lin Yue..." Su Yao caressed her hair, her voice trembling. "You're being... unfair." 0
 
Lin Yue looked up, confusion in her eyes. 0
 
Su Yao's face turned as red as a ripe apple, but she mustered the courage to say, "I want... to see you too." 0
 
This statement caught Lin Yue off guard for a moment before she chuckled softly. 0
 
She stepped back a bit and began to unbutton her shirt, her movements somewhat clumsy due to the slight tremor in her hands. 0
 
When the white shirt slipped off, Su Yao's breath caught for an instant. 0
 
Lin Yue's figure was slender and graceful, her skin pale as snow with beautifully defined collarbones. However, the faint scars on her wrists made Su Yao's heart ache, causing her eyes to redden. 0
 
She gently traced the scars. "You must promise not to hurt yourself again." 0
 
Lin Yue took Su Yao's hand and pressed it against her chest. "As long as you're by my side, I promise I won't hurt myself anymore." 0
 
Su Yao felt the strong heartbeat beneath her palm and the warmth of that sincere promise. 0
 
"I love you," she whispered in Lin Yue's ear, her voice soft like a sigh. 0
 
"I love you too." 0
 
They held each other tightly, feeling each other's breaths and heartbeats as if trying to make up for every day they had been apart. This time, no one could stop them. 0
 
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Los Angeles, Jiang Rou calculated the time and dialed Su Yuyan's number. 0
 
 
At that moment, Su Yuyan was sitting in her office, arranging work schedules for the artists. When she saw the caller ID, her brows instantly furrowed. 0
 
After hesitating for a few seconds, she answered the phone, "Miss Jiang." 0
 
"Hello, Ms. Su," Jiang Rou's tone was polite but laced with provocation. 0
 
Su Yuyan's voice noticeably cooled, "What do you want?" 0
 
"I think it's necessary to inform you that Lin Yue has returned to the country." 0
 
Jiang Rou's tone was calm, but each word pierced Su Yuyan's heart like a needle. 0
 
"What?!" 0
 
"At this moment, your daughter should be with Lin Yue." 0
 
Jiang Rou continued meaningfully, "The Lin family has deep connections; you should protect your daughter well." 0
 
On the other end of the line, Su Yuyan's breathing became rapid. 0
 
"I understand. Thank you for letting me know." 0
 
With that, Su Yuyan hung up the phone abruptly. 0
 
Looking at the phone screen, Jiang Rou revealed a satisfied smile. 0
 
Su Yuyan surely couldn't sit still now. 0
 
As expected, she immediately dialed Su Yao's number. 0
 
However, the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. 0
 
She tried again, but still no response. 0
 
Su Yuyan's heart began to race as an ominous feeling surged within her. 0
 
She quickly called Xiao Lin, "Xiao Lin, are you with Yao Yao right now?" 0
 
"Um... President Su..." 0
 
"Where is she now?" 0
 
"Uh... I'm not really sure..." 0
 
Xiao Lin's voice was hesitant and clearly lying. 0
 
"You don't know? You're her assistant; how could you not know?" 0
 
Su Yuyan's tone instantly turned stern. 0
 
 
"I... President Su, Sister Yao seems to have personal plans today..." 0
 
"What personal plans? With whom?" 0
 
Xiao Lin fell silent. 0
 
Su Yuyan instantly understood, trembling with anger. "Is she with Lin Yue?" 0
 
"President Su..." 0
 
"Tell me the truth!" 0
 
Xiao Lin dared not answer. 0
 
Furious, Su Yuyan hung up the phone. 0
 
She called Su Yao several times, but no one answered. 0
 
Finally, she sent a message: "Yao Yao, no matter what you’re doing, call me back immediately when you see this!" 0
 
After sending the message, Su Yuyan felt a heavy pressure in her chest. 0
 
She recalled Jiang Rou's earlier words—"The Lin family has deep waters." 0
 
She certainly knew how deep those waters were; she had experienced it over twenty years ago. 0
 
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more distressed she became. 0
 
Su Yuyan felt as if her heart was being tightly squeezed by someone, causing her pain to the point where she could barely stand. 0
 
Hastily, she rummaged through the medicine cabinet for quick-acting heart relief pills, her hands shaking so much that she couldn't even twist off the bottle cap. 0
 
After finally managing to take the medication, she slumped onto the sofa, gasping for breath. 0
 
Realizing something was wrong after the call ended, Xiao Lin rushed to the office. 0
 
"President Su! President Su! What’s wrong?" 0
 
Seeing Su Yuyan lying on the sofa with a pale face frightened Xiao Lin to death. 0
 
"I... I'm fine..." 0
 
Su Yuyan weakly waved her hand. "I took my medicine... I just need to lie down for a bit." 0
 
"Do you want to go to the hospital?" 0
 
"No need." Su Yuyan closed her eyes. "Call Yao Yao and tell her to come back quickly." 0
 
Xiao Lin nodded and quickly dialed Su Yao's number. 0
 
 
But still, no one answered. 0
She dialed again and again, her phone nearly running out of battery. 0
At that moment, in Lin Yue's home, Su Yao was lying in Lin Yue's arms, her body still flushed from their earlier passion. 0
Lin Yue gently stroked her hair, feeling a long-lost sense of satisfaction. 0
"Su Yao, why don't you move in with me?" 0
"Huh?" Su Yao looked up at her, her eyes still hazy. 0
"I'm serious." Lin Yue kissed her forehead. "I want to see you every morning when I open my eyes." 0
Su Yao felt her face heat up from the sweet words and was about to respond when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate. 0
She picked it up and, upon seeing the screen, her expression changed instantly. 0
Dozens of missed calls, most of them from Xiao Lin. 0
There was also a message from her mother. 0
"What's wrong?" Lin Yue sat up, noticing Su Yao's expression and feeling a tightness in her chest. 0
Seeing the message made Su Yao's heart drop. 0
She immediately called Xiao Lin back. 0
"Sister Yao! You finally called back!" 0
Xiao Lin's voice was choked with tears. "President Su knows that Mr. Lin is back and that you two are together... and then she started feeling unwell." 0
Su Yao's heart sank to the bottom. "How is my mom now?" 0
"She just took some medicine and is lying on the sofa." 0
Xiao Lin lowered her voice. "You need to come back quickly; Sister Su looks really unwell." 0
Su Yao hung up the phone and hurriedly got dressed. 0
"What's wrong?" Lin Yue got up as well. 0
"My mom knows you're back and that we're together; she's not feeling well right now, I have to go back." 0
Su Yao's movements were a bit frantic, clearly worried. 0
"I'll go with you," Lin Yue began to dress as well. 0
"No need," Su Yao stopped her. "If my mom sees you now, she'll be even angrier." 0
 
 
Lin Yue paused, feeling a twinge of reluctance. "Then I'll take you there." 0
 
Su Yao nodded and hurriedly packed her things. 0
 
In the car, Su Yao was so nervous that her palms were sweating. 0
 
"Don't worry, Auntie will be fine," Lin Yue reassured her as he drove. 0
 
Su Yao bit her lip. "My mom's heart has never been good, and now she's been upset..." 0
 
"It's all my fault," Su Yao said, filled with guilt. 0
 
"It's not your fault," Lin Yue said, taking her hand in his. 0
 
The car stopped outside Su Yuyan's office building. Just before Su Yao got out, Lin Yue grabbed her arm. 0
 
"Su Yao, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you." 0
 
Su Yao nodded, a flicker of courage appearing in her eyes. 0
 
After watching Su Yao rush away, Lin Yue took out his phone and dialed Lu Chen's number. 0
 
"Brother Chen, what's going on at home right now?" 0
 
"Are you asking about Jiang Rou or your parents?" Lu Chen's tone sounded weary. 0
 
"Both, please." 0
 
"Jiang Rou cried for a long time after she found out you were back." 0
 
Lu Chen paused for a moment. "As for your mom, when I called to tell her you were back, she didn't seem surprised at all." 0
 
Lin Yue frowned. "What did she say?" 0
 
"She just said 'I know' in a flat tone and then asked when I would be back." 0
 
Lin Yue let out a cold laugh. "Brother Chen, when are you coming back? There are so many things waiting for us to handle at the company; we can't put everything on hold because of my situation with Su Yao." 0
 
"I've arranged a private jet; I'll be back the day after tomorrow." 0
 
"Alright, see you then." 0
