Chapter 155 Finally, I Can Catch My Breath

"We are brothers, why be so polite? Besides, you performed face-changing magic today, so you will probably be trending on social media again tomorrow. Your recent popularity is simply too high. Going away to hide for a few days is a good idea. Come back once the hype dies down."

"I've already arranged everything. Once you're abroad, you don't need to worry about a thing. Furthermore, both you and Miss Qin speak English, I presume? I imagine communication won't be an issue. I'll just assign a guide and secretary to assist you."

"Alright, I'll remember this favor. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know."

"I'm just afraid you'll become too famous in the future and I won't even be able to afford your time, hahaha..."

After exchanging some lighthearted banter, the two hung up the phone. Yang Xiaofan held Qin Nuanyu tightly, planting several enthusiastic kisses on her face, and said excitedly,

"Nuanyu, did you hear that? The two of us are going abroad to take our wedding photos! This way, we can escape being pursued and intercepted by fans everywhere at home."

"Mm!"

Qin Nuanyu nodded, nestling into Yang Xiaofan's arms.

She might not be the prettiest woman in the world, but she was unquestionably the woman who loved Yang Xiaofan the most.

When Yang Xiaofan was happy, she was happy; when Yang Xiaofan was sad, she was sad.

No matter the circumstances, she would always silently stand by Yang Xiaofan.

This love would last forever.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiaofan took Qin Nuanyu by the hand, pulling their suitcases as they headed to the hotel's private dining room for breakfast.

The suitcases were filled with clothing for the two of them.

Seeing them pull their suitcases, both families looked rather surprised.

"Xiaofan, Nuanyu, you two are pulling suitcases—where are you off to?"

Qin Nuanyu smiled gently.

"Last night, President Zhao told Xiaofan and me that we could go take our wedding photos at scenic spots in the Beautiful Country. Since Xiaofan has been exhausted by his fans lately, we're taking this opportunity to get away for a few days."

"Huh? You're going abroad? All the way out there?"

Mother Yang and Mother Qin couldn't help but speak in unison.

As mothers, although their personalities and experiences differed, their concern for their children was identical.

As the saying goes: a mother worries when her child travels a thousand miles.

The Beautiful Country was so far away; with both children going abroad together, mountains and rivers apart, what would they do if something unexpected happened?

Qin Nuanyu comforted them, saying,

"Relax, both moms, you don't need to worry. Don't forget, Xiaofan's martial arts skills are very strong, and his body recovers remarkably fast. Even if someone has a gun, he isn't afraid. So, you really don't need to worry."

Father Yang and Father Qin also chimed in to reassure them.

"It's normal for young people to want to go out and see the world."

"Exactly. They are young people of the new era; how could they be like us, cooped up at home all day without stepping a foot outside?"

"Well, alright then."

With their husbands comforting them, no matter how worried Mother Qin and Mother Yang still were, they had to let go of their misgivings for the moment.

Moreover, Yang Xiaofan truly had the capability; his strength was immense, more than enough to protect Qin Nuanyu and himself.

Even so, the two mothers couldn't help bombarding them with all sorts of caring reminders and nagging.

To this, the couple responded patiently to every single one.

Meanwhile, Qin Nuanxin and Yang Xia晴's eyes were darting around mischievously.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you take the two of us with you?"

"Yeah, Sister-in-law, I've never been abroad before. Can you take me along? Please? I'm begging you, Sister-in-law."

"This..."

Qin Nuanyu couldn't help looking troubled. She glanced at Yang Xiaofan, who glared back in annoyance.

"What kind of nonsense are you two stirring up again? We're going to take wedding photos, not to play around. The two of you stay right here and behave yourselves."

"Mom, look at my brother! He's just too stingy."

Yang Xiaoxi was the first to complain to her mother.

However, Mother Yang let out a cold snort and scolded her instead.

"You're acting up again. Your brother and sister-in-law are going to take wedding photos, what are you trying to squeeze in for? Don't even think about it, just stay home and behave."

"I don't want to! I want to go."

Mother Yang glared at her.

"Are you asking for a beating?"

"I..."

Yang Xiaoxi looked aggrieved and immediately piped down.

Her mom really would hit her.

The gentle and sensible Yang Xiaoyun covered her mouth and smiled from the side.

"Xiaoxi, you really shouldn't get your hopes up. You need a visa to go to the Beautiful Country. Do you have one? Besides, even if you applied for one now, it would probably take ages to get approved, right?"

"Huh? This..."

Yang Xiaoxi instantly lost her temper.

"Fine then. But Big Brother, I'm warning you, you have to bring me a gift when you come back from abroad, or I won't talk to you anymore."

Yang Xiaofan shrugged.

"Doesn't matter. If you don't talk to me, I still have little sister Xiaoyun; I'm not missing you."

This remark immediately drew a burst of hearty laughter from everyone, while Yang Xiaoxi turned red with anger.

"Aaaah... Mom! Look at my brother!"

Unfortunately, Mother Yang ignored her completely.

"So many complaints! Your brother is going out to handle serious business; do you think you're like this wild girl, only knowing how to run around and play every day?"

Furious yet speechless, Yang Xiaoxi could only harbor her resentment in silence.

After breakfast, both families accompanied Yang Xiaofan and Qin Nuanyu to the airport.

They bought them plenty of delicious snacks, gave them endless instructions, and only let them leave when the plane was almost ready for boarding.

"Sigh! The two of them are going abroad just like that. Such a distant place—my heart feels so empty."

Mother Yang couldn't help muttering a few times.

Mother Qin comforted her, saying,

"Sister, don't worry. Look at me, I've come to terms with it. Let the young ones handle their own affairs and toss about as they please. These next few days, with the kids gone, you and Brother Yang can stay at our place. We can go shopping together and play mahjong—isn't that nice?"

Mother Yang nodded. Suddenly, Father Qin looked puzzled and said,

"By the way, do you all feel like someone is missing among us?"

"Now that you mention it, it seems so!"

"One, two, three... Isn't Nuanxin missing?"

"She said she had a stomachache and went to the restroom at the hotel; she didn't come along at all."

"That's good. I thought this dead girl had secretly run off to buy a plane ticket and boarded the flight."

"Don't you need a visa to go to the Beautiful Country? Xiaofan and Nuanyu only got theirs so fast because President Zhao helped them. Nuanxin doesn't have a visa, so there's no way she could go."

"You guys don't know, Nuanxin is a wild child. She secretly went to the Beautiful Country to play with her friends before, so she has a visa. It probably won't expire until the end of this year."

"Surely not. Don't overthink it."
