Song Xun would never contact the dean of academic affairs without a reason.

Does this mean...

Song Xun said, "Yes, it was the boss's order. So, there shouldn't be any trouble for Madam when she's handling the re-enrollment procedures, right?"

Jiang Mian was silent for a few seconds, her voice somewhat hoarse, "...No. It went very smoothly."

"That's good." Song Xun's voice was gentle and smiling. "Where are you? I'll have the driver come over now."

I had already said my polite refusal, but now it seems I can't bring myself to say it.

"Madam, you might need to come over as soon as possible," Song Xun said earnestly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jiang Mian frowned.

For no apparent reason, the numerous scars on that man's body that I had seen before flashed before my eyes.

His brow furrowed even more. "His wound has reopened?"

"No, but the young master said he wanted to video chat with you."

"Video?" Jiang Mian was stunned.

She knew that Lu Chaochi was very familiar with the hospital and was smart, so she should be able to see the background of the ward.

He'll probably realize soon that she and Lu Bozhou conspired to deceive him.

Jiang Mian suddenly felt a little nervous. "What should we do?"

“Everything is ready. Madam, you can come over now,” Song Xun said.

Jiang Mian didn't dare to dawdle any longer and quickly told them her location.

After ending the call, Jiang Mian walked to Jiang Yu's side with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Jiang Yu didn't seem surprised at all.

He smiled. "Going back already?"

"Yes, there's been a bit of an unexpected situation," Jiang Mian said.

Jiang Yu's smile held a hint of sarcasm. "That's Lu Bozhou's usual trick. He always has a last-minute situation, always a special circumstance."

"Over time, people develop muscle memory and become domesticated."

Jiang Mian knew Jiang Yu was unhappy, but the situation with Xiao Shitou was more urgent.

Before long, the car stopped on the side of the road ahead.

Jiang Mian looked at Jiang Yu.

"There really were some unforeseen circumstances, I'll explain to you later. Thank you for coming down with me. If you're going back up, please tell Gong Yan for me."

After Jiang Mian finished speaking, she ran towards the car on the side of the road.

The car quickly took her away.

Jiang Mian had assumed that he would take her to the hospital.

Because of Lu Bozhou's situation.

But looking at the route the driver took, it wasn't like that.

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "Where are we going?"

Moreover, because she had been kidnapped before, Jiang Mian was very wary of this.

The driver said, "Madam, to the resort on the outskirts of the city."

"A resort?" Jiang Mian was dumbfounded.

"What are you doing there?"

The driver seemed not to understand Jiang Mian's words. He replied, "Assistant Song said...you and President Lu are on your honeymoon?"

Jiang Mian just didn't expect that the man was already injured, so all he had to do was make arrangements at the hospital.

To think it would go to such lengths...

But when the car actually arrived at the resort, Jiang Mian realized just how much trouble it had taken.

She was a few beats slower as she got out of the car.

After getting off the car, I stood by the car and stared blankly at the scene in the resort.

When Song Xun saw her coming, he quickly went to greet her.

"Madam, you've arrived."

“Here… how…” Jiang Mian blinked, her lips moved, but she was at a loss for words.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Not going to the hospital?"

Song Xun paused for a moment, then said, "The boss said that the young master is too smart and not so easy to fool."

“This place is too…” Jiang Mian glanced at the resort again.

Song Xun smiled and said, "This resort has not yet been put into use after its investment and construction. So even if the young master sees it, he won't know where it is, which is safer."

"As for these arrangements, they are quite honeymoon-like."

It's more than just comparing honeymoons.

Jiang Mian saw so many roses, balloons, and ribbons even before she got out of the car.

The flowers were in full bloom, and it was very beautiful.

Following Song Xun into the resort, Jiang Mian belatedly realized what Song Xun meant by what he had just said...

This resort is not yet in use.

Then there won't be any other guests.

So wouldn't that mean... it's just her and Lu Bozhou?

So what's the difference between this and a real honeymoon?

Just then, Jiang Mian saw the man standing in the distance.

He wasn't wearing a hospital gown; instead, he was dressed in a very well-tailored casual suit.

He looked lean and tall, and very handsome.

At this moment, there are no glaring bandages or wounds on his body.

He stood beside a dining table, his eyes lowered and his mind elsewhere, his slender fingers fiddling with a rose in a small vase on the table.

The scene was so perfect it looked like it had stepped right out of a painting.

Hearing the footsteps, the man turned his gaze to Jiang Mian.

She met the man's deep, dark eyes.

Jiang Mian suddenly understood the answer to the question that had been on her mind.

So what's the difference between this and a real honeymoon?

There are still differences.

Couples who are truly on their honeymoon have love for each other.

But there was nothing between her and Lu Bozhou.

Some of them are just perfunctory attempts to get by.

Jiang Mian followed Song Xun upstairs.

"Boss, your wife is here."

"Hmm." Lu Bozhou nodded lightly.

Song Xun thought for a moment and asked, "Should we take Madam to change her clothes?"

Lu Bozhou's clothes, however, were perfect.

But Jiang Mian seemed rather casual.

If Song Xun hadn't brought it up, Jiang Mian wouldn't have felt anything, but now that he had, she felt a little uncomfortable looking at herself.

But the next second, a deep, slightly hoarse voice said, "No need, this is fine."

"Okay." Song Xun didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Jiang Mian watched Song Xun's departing figure and even wanted to reach out Er Kang's hand!

After Song Xun left, she and Lu Bozhou were left alone.

She genuinely didn't know what to say to him.

Jiang Mian lowered her eyes, avoiding Lu Bozhou's gaze.

But she could feel a very strong gaze fixed on her.

A moment later, Jiang Mian gently bit her lip, "When will Xiao Shitou's video call arrive?"

"Just call them." Lu Bozhou took out his phone.

Jiang Mian was surprised that he didn't have any time to prepare and sent the video directly.

Her eyes widened.

The next second, the man suddenly approached her from behind, holding his phone out in front of her.

With his other hand, he gently put his arm around her shoulder.

The two faces appeared simultaneously on the video screen at a very intimate distance.

Just as Jiang Mian was about to create some distance, the video call connected.

Her wide-eyed expression was captured in the video.

Little Stone laughed happily on the other end of the line, "Wow! Daddy, Mianmian!"

"Dad, it really is just like you said, there's hardly anyone there!"

Hearing Lu Chaochi's words, Jiang Mian frowned slightly, a vague feeling that something was amiss. "Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites! Muah! My sweet and sour pork ribs were a huge success today!! I'm such a cooking pro!"
