Chapter 2794: Heading to Yunnan

~11 min read 2,071 words

A couple dressed in trendy clothes and covered in big brands walked hand in hand through the VIP channel to complete boarding, and then sat hand in hand in the business car specially provided by the airport for VIPs.

To outsiders, these two must be a wealthy second-generation couple. Not only are they wearing big brands, but they also spend hundreds of thousands to charter a plane for a trip.

However, this is also the best disguise for Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er.

With Ye Chen's current state, no one would doubt it if he said he was just twenty years old. If he met an acquaintance on the way, I'm afraid he wouldn't be recognized.

The two boarded the plane. The crew led them to the spacious cabin. Lin Wan'er ignored the two independent first-class seats in the front and pulled Ye Chen to walk backward, acting like a spoiled child, "Darling, I want to sit with you."

In the back, there were side-by-side double seats without armrests in the middle, which were standard double sofa seats.

As soon as Lin Wan'er got on the plane, she took a fancy to these two seats.

Ye Chen naturally cooperated seriously and nodded repeatedly, "Since you want to sit together, then let's sit together."

Lin Wan'er stopped and said seriously, "You forgot to call me baby."

Ye Chen was startled by her serious look and said awkwardly, "There are other people around."

The flight attendant next to them couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

In her opinion, the two young people in front of her were a standard couple in love, without any incongruity.

Lin Wan'er didn't care about the flight attendant beside her and said very seriously, "Terms of endearment should be called in front of others. This can prove that you truly love me. If you only call me baby in private, but keep your distance from me in public, doesn't that mean you are eating what's in the bowl while eyeing what's in the pot?"

The flight attendant beside her couldn't help but secretly give Lin Wan'er a thumbs up. Seeing Lin Wan'er acting so well, Ye Chen thought he couldn't be a bad teammate and hold her back, so he put aside his old face and said extremely sincerely, "Baby, you're right!"

Lin Wan'er's pretty face flushed, she nodded with satisfaction, and said seriously, "From now on, you must remember, the more you are outside, the more cheesy and clingy you must be with me. This way, no other woman will have designs on you, and no other man will have designs on me. This is called declaring sovereignty."

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly, "Baby is right, baby is right."

After saying that, he looked at the flight attendant beside him and instructed, "Miss, please pour a glass of water for my baby. After saying so much, she must be thirsty."

The flight attendant couldn't help but smile and hurriedly said, "Sir, Miss, please wait a moment, I will prepare drinks for the two of you right away."

Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and muttered, "Are you saying I talk too much? Look at my little fist!"

After finishing, she raised her hand and tapped Ye Chen on the chest twice lightly.

The flight attendant was full of envy. In her opinion, the way this couple flirted was the most real reaction between lovers.

After the flight attendant went to the kitchen in the front cabin, Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue at Ye Chen, then sat down next to Ye Chen, and asked him in a low voice with a giggle, "How is it? Did I act okay?"

Ye Chen nodded and said seriously, "Too okay. If you said you hadn't been in a relationship, I absolutely wouldn't believe it. I feel like you are just an expert."

Lin Wan'er was shy and anxious, "I haven't been in a relationship, but at least I've watched movies and TV shows! Isn't flirting a common occurrence in romance dramas?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Chen nodded with a smile. At this time, the plane had slowly pushed away from the parking space, so Ye Chen brought the topic back to the main point and said in a low voice, "We can land in Lijiang in more than two hours. After landing, we will rent a car to Dali immediately. Can you still recall the specific location of your father's cenotaph?"

Lin Wan'er put away her smile and said, "My father's cenotaph is in the northeast direction of Erhai. I have looked at maps and satellite photos. That place is now renamed Shuanglang."

Ye Chen nodded, took out his phone to check the map, and said, "Shuanglang is even closer to Lijiang. It's about an hour and a half drive after getting off the plane."

"Hmm..." Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, "Father's cenotaph is on the mountain in the northeast of Shuanglang. Hundreds of years have passed, I don't know what it has become now."

Ye Chen asked her, "Was there a tombstone left?"

"Yes." Lin Wan'er said, "I asked someone to carve a tombstone back then and buried his belongings from his lifetime with my mother. But I don't know if it can still be found."

Ye Chen asked her, "Is your mother also buried there?"

Lin Wan'er said, "Originally yes, but before I left Dali, I was afraid that Wu Feiyan would destroy the remains of my parents, so I had my mother's remains exhumed and cremated, and then buried them with my father's ashes in Pu'er."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then let's find a way to find your father's cenotaph first, and then find a way to see how to set up some surveillance, striving to capture her appearance when Wu Feiyan goes there. After making preparations, we won't wait for Wu Feiyan to arrive. I will accompany you to Pu'er to pay homage to your parents directly."

Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen and said seriously, "Young Master, Wu Feiyan is suspicious by nature. Maybe she will disguise herself or even change her face this time. If you can't capture her appearance, please don't be disappointed."

"It's okay." Ye Chen said indifferently, "I'm mainly worried about you going to Yunnan alone, so I want to accompany you to pay homage to your parents, and then accompany you back to Pu'er to reminisce about the place where the Mother of Tea Trees grew, and finally bring you back to Jin Ling safely. As for Wu Feiyan, it's just like asking the boss for an invoice to scratch a lottery ticket after a meal. If you win, it's good luck; if you don't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the meal is eaten well."

Lin Wan'er was moved in her heart, nodded gently, and sighed, "My biggest wish before was to return to Yunnan once before I died and walk through all these places again. Thanks to you, Young Master, this time I can finally realize it..."

Ye Chen asked her, "If the trouble of Wu Feiyan is solved, what do you want to do most?"

Lin Wan'er said without hesitation, "What I wanted to do most before was to move my parents' mausoleum to the side of Tianchi, and then build a small wooden house by Tianchi, where the Mother of Tea Trees failed to transcend the tribulation, raise a few cows, raise a few sheep, and raise a dog, and spend the rest of my life in peace."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Before? What about now?"

"Now?" Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen, lowered her eyelids, and murmured, "I've been a bit confused these past few days..."

Ye Chen asked her, "Confused about what?"

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said softly, "Confused about where I should go in the future."

At this time, the flight attendant brought two drinks and walked over from the kitchen area in the front, so the two ended the previous topic.

Lin Wan'er was in a low mood. Seeing the flight attendant coming, she took the opportunity to lean her head on Ye Chen's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Darling, I'm a little tired, I want to close my eyes for a while."

Ye Chen nodded, "Then close your eyes and rest for a while."

Seeing Lin Wan'er leaning on Ye Chen's shoulder and closing her eyes, the flight attendant carefully placed the two drinks in front of them and said in a low voice to Ye Chen, "Sir, our plane has pushed away and is currently third in line for takeoff, about ten minutes. If you need anything, please press the call button at any time, and I will serve you two immediately."

Ye Chen nodded gently, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

When Wu Feiyan's plane landed in Melbourne, the plane Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er were on had already taken off from Jin Ling Airport, heading to Lijiang, more than a thousand kilometers away.

When the plane took off and flew westward, Lin Wan'er had completely lost her previous liveliness and playfulness.

She leaned on Ye Chen's shoulder for a while, and then her eyes seemed to lose focus, staring out the window.

Ye Chen could feel that something was wrong with her and understood her state very well.

After all, in this world, no one is more suitable for the phrase "homesickness" than she is now.

A little girl who had been away from home for more than three hundred years had finally embarked on the road home. Whoever it was, they would sigh in their hearts.

More than two hours later, the plane landed at Lijiang Airport.

When getting off the plane, Lin Wan'er's legs felt weak unconsciously.

When she was holding Ye Chen, Ye Chen could clearly feel that she was adding a lot of her body weight to him. It seemed that she didn't have enough strength in her body.

So he took the initiative to reach out, supported Lin Wan'er, and led her out of the airport all the way.

Outside the airport, Ye Chen rented an SUV with the fake identity Chen Zekai had prepared for him, then removed the dashcam from the car and drove Lin Wan'er straight to Shuanglang, Dali.

After driving away from the airport, Ye Chen asked Lin Wan'er beside him, "Have you been to Lijiang before?"

"I have." Lin Wan'er said, "After my mother passed away, my father sent me to my maternal grandparents' house in Dali. At that time, I had been here with my grandmother, but I had only been here once."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er sighed, "In Yunnan three hundred years ago, the roads had to cross mountains and ridges, and they were all small mountain roads, which were not easy to walk. Coming to Lijiang was already considered a long trip."

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her, "Didn't we agree to change the title? Why did you change it back?"

Lin Wan'er said softly, "Returning to Yunnan, it seems as if I have returned to three hundred years ago, returning to the days when I was waiting to be married in my maternal grandparents' house..."

As she spoke, she added, "There are only you and me in the car, Young Master. I am still used to talking to you like this."

Ye Chen nodded and asked again, "In the years before you took the Eternal Green Pill, did you always live with your maternal grandparents?"

Lin Wan'er said, "My grandfather passed away early. Later, I relied on my grandmother for survival. Fortunately, my grandfather's ancestors were one of the many local chieftains in Yunnan, and the family was relatively well-off, so my life in Yunnan since childhood was relatively superior. Before my grandfather passed away, he also taught me to read and write, and I understood a lot of knowledge and principles."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er looked out the window and said with great emotion, "My grandfather had five children. Except for my mother who died of illness, the other four died in the process of resisting the Qing court. Later, Wu Sangui bloodily slaughtered the anti-Qing righteous men, and the descendants of the four uncles were all wiped out. My grandfather's family completely lost its lineage. Otherwise, if I came back today, maybe there would be a few relatives to visit..." ===== CHAPTER 2795 =====
