Chapter 2793: Darling

Ye Chen's words made Lin Wan'er's eyebrows twitch unconsciously.

She seemed to have figured something out, but she deliberately didn't ask again, instead throwing this aside and saying to Ye Chen with a smile, "Since you can't make up your mind, let me be the one to make the decision."

After saying that, she tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "If it were in ancient times, I would definitely call you 'husband'. But now, no one uses that term anymore. And since you and I are acting as a couple, not husband and wife, how about I call you 'darling' and you call me 'baby'?"

After saying this, Lin Wan'er's breathing quickened, her pretty face flushed, and she looked at Ye Chen with anxiety, fearing he would refuse or be dissatisfied.

Ye Chen didn't feel anything special. Acting as a couple, they were even wearing couple's outfits, so calling each other something cheesy was normal. If they were a couple, calling each other by name directly when going out didn't seem appropriate either.

So he nodded indifferently and said, "Baby, is it? Okay, let's do it that way."

As he spoke, Ye Chen instructed her, "Then you must remember, don't say 'slave' in front of others. We are in a new era now, and these old titles are not popular. If you say that outside, people who don't know might think I have some special fetish..."

Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue and said unconvinced, "Young Master, I have experienced everything from the old era to the new era. I know what you are talking about. Moreover, I haven't spoken like that for hundreds of years. I only do it in front of you. Once I leave this courtyard, I will naturally adjust."

"That's good." Ye Chen nodded, then checked the time and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded and said to Ye Chen, "Young Master, once we walk out of this door, I will call you 'darling', okay?"

Ye Chen nodded and said casually, "As long as you are not afraid of the four old people below laughing at you, feel free to call me that."

Lin Wan'er immediately said with a red face, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I meant, after we leave Zijin Villa..."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, "Alright, let's go quickly. They are still waiting below, probably waiting to say goodbye to you."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded and said apologetically, "Please wait for me outside for a moment, Young Master. I'll offer a stick of incense to my father and then come."

Ye Chen agreed readily, then went out of the room first.

After Ye Chen went out, Lin Wan'er came to the spirit tablet of her father, Lin Zhulu. She picked up three sticks of incense with her slender jade fingers, lit them carefully, and after the flame went out and the curling sandalwood smoke rose, she inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner. Then she knelt on the cushion in front of the spirit tablet, put her hands together, and murmured in an extremely low voice, "Father... Wan'er is going to... oh no, oh no... Wan'er is acting, I said it wrong... Wan'er is going back to Yunnan with Young Master Ye. I hope your spirit in heaven will bless Wan'er and Young Master to return safely, and also bless Young Master to get what he wishes..."

After saying that, she kowtowed three times to the spirit tablet, then stood up and walked out quickly.

Ye Chen was waiting in the courtyard. Seeing Lin Wan'er come out, he smiled slightly at her, and the two walked down from the top-floor courtyard together.

Below, the four old people were crouching in the hall on the first floor, tilting their heads to look at the stairs.

Seeing the two of them really coming out in couple's outfits, Old Zhang said with pleasant surprise, "Oh my! Mr. Ye and Miss are truly a talented couple, a match made in heaven!"

Sun Zhidong looked at the two and couldn't help but marvel, "Old Zhang, among the three of us, you have been by Miss's side the longest. In these ninety years, have you ever seen Miss smile like this? Isn't this textbook shyness?"

At this moment, Lin Wan'er, with a shy smile like a young girl, walked beside Ye Chen. It was obvious that she was in a very good mood. She stole glances at Ye Chen beside her from time to time, each time only for a second, not daring to look for long. And every time she looked, her eyebrows would curve like willow leaves blown by the wind. She was truly beautiful and stunning.

However, the Lin Wan'er in their impression, although she loved to smile, was always the kind who was carefree, playful, and bossy. The word "shyness" had nothing to do with Lin Wan'er for hundreds of years.

Now, they finally realized that Miss also had such a girlish and shy side.

Qiu Yingshan looked at Lin Wan'er walking from a distance and couldn't help but sigh with a full face of smiles, "If Miss wore a wedding dress or a Xiuhe, she would definitely be even more beautiful, right?"

Sun Zhidong waved his hand and said seriously, "No, Miss still looks young. Girls nowadays get married in their twenties or thirties. Miss looks like she hasn't graduated from high school. Wearing a wedding dress might be a bit incongruous."

Qiu Yingshan's wife lowered her voice and reminded, "You three old men, if you want to gossip, at least wait until Miss and Mr. Ye leave. Mr. Ye has great supernatural powers. If he hears you, I don't know how he will look at you!"

Qiu Yingshan hurriedly said to the other two, "Quiet, quiet. Let's talk after Miss and Mr. Ye leave."

The other two also sensibly closed their mouths, and the three of them pretended to be fine, their eyes darting around the hall.

After Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er entered, the three hurriedly stepped forward and, together with Qiu Yingshan's wife, said respectfully, "Greetings, Miss! Greetings, Mr. Ye!"

Lin Wan'er's shy smile had disappeared, replaced by the seriousness of a family head. She said, "I am setting off with Young Master Ye to Yunnan. I leave this place to your care. Remember, no one is allowed to go up."

Qiu Yingshan said without hesitation, "Don't worry, Miss, I will arrange everything!"

Lin Wan'er nodded, then looked at Sun Zhidong and said lightly, "Old Sun, I was idle last night and did a divination for you. Your calamity has been broken by Young Master Ye. There won't be any variables in the next twenty or thirty years. You can relax. If there is anything in Yanjing, you can rest assured and go back to handle it. You don't have to keep wasting your time here."

Lin Wan'er knew that the path Sun Zhidong took was different from others, which also destined that it was difficult for him to have absolute autonomy. If he ran outside for too long, maybe someone from Yanjing would come out to find him.

Sun Zhidong also knew his situation and sighed, "Miss, to tell you the truth, I have done my best in this life. Now that I am old, I don't want to worry about anything anymore. My wife passed away early, and my three children are all over the world. It is very boring for one person to go back to Yanjing and live in those high walls. If you allow it, I would like to stay here for a while longer and reminisce with these two childhood friends."

Lin Wan'er pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Staying here is not impossible. Let's do it this way for now. You can arrange it reasonably yourself, and I won't worry about you."

Sun Zhidong cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Miss, don't worry about me. You should go and attend to your important business with Mr. Ye as soon as possible!"

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said to the four, "Since that's the case, then Young Master Ye and I will go first."

The four hurriedly sent the two to the courtyard. Seeing Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er get into the car one by one and watching them drive down the mountain, they finally felt relieved.

In the car, Ye Chen was focused on driving, while Lin Wan'er beside him, for some reason, blushed again.

She glanced at Ye Chen from the corner of her eye, looked out the window, and after hesitating for a long time, asked him shyly, "Darling, how long will it take for us to reach the airport?"

Ye Chen said casually, "Half an hour."

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but ask him angrily, "Shouldn't you call me baby?"

Ye Chen coughed twice and asked her, "There's no one else here, do we really have to call each other that?"

Lin Wan'er said aggrievedly, "I had an agreement with you before..."

Ye Chen immediately said seriously, "Okay, okay, keep the promise."

After saying that, he adjusted and said, "Baby, we will arrive at the airport in half an hour."

Lin Wan'er smiled sweetly and shyly, and said happily, "I know, thank you, darling!"

Lin Wan'er, satisfied, couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen's left hand on the steering wheel and asked curiously, "Darling, didn't you wear the ring I gave you when you went out?"

Ye Chen said casually, "Why wear it? That ring recognizes you as its master, not me. If I go out with you and encounter danger, it will still teleport me to you. If I really encounter Wu Feiyan, wouldn't that be letting her catch a bug and never be able to fly out of her palm? I'm afraid she would get that ring for nothing. Instead of that, it's better not to wear it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Wu Feiyan dreams of wanting your ring. If we don't take it with us, even if we are really caught by Wu Feiyan, we will have some capital to negotiate with her."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "Darling, you consider things more comprehensively. I never thought of this point..."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the airport.

Ye Chen parked the car. Just after getting out of the car, Lin Wan'er stepped forward and took Ye Chen's arm, looking very intimate.

Ye Chen was slightly startled. Before he could speak, Lin Wan'er beside him said, "Couples should be holding hands like this, right?"

"Oh..." Ye Chen understood that she was disguising as a couple with him, so he nodded and said, "Should be."

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but smile, "Then when we board the plane in a while, in order not to let the crew suspect, should I also hold your arm?"

Ye Chen nodded, "No problem, just do as you see fit."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took out his phone to check. On the paid version of the flight software, he could clearly see that Wu Feiyan's plane had already flown over New Zealand and was very close to Melbourne.

While being held by Lin Wan'er, Ye Chen looked at his phone and said in a low voice, "Wu Feiyan's plane has already descended. It seems she will definitely land in Melbourne for refueling. The whole journey will take at least an hour. We will probably take off at the same time as her. Considering she has to go to Myanmar first, we have plenty of time, so much so that we can even play while on the road."

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and sighed, "I haven't been back for many years. Once we arrive in Yunnan, everything will be arranged by you." ===== CHAPTER 2794 =====
