But Yan Heqing smiled at him.
Lu Muchi turned and went downstairs. "Wait for me."
Yan Heqing's gaze was indifferent, then he suddenly called out to him, " Lu Muchi."
Even a single name made Lu Muchi's heart pound. He swallowed hard. "What?"
"I want to take Teacher Xu to the yard for some fresh air." Lu Muchi was even more outrageous than in the original text. The villa was heavily monitored by surveillance cameras, watching every corner. Yan Heqing had considered several plans, but none of them could take Xu Qiaoyin away quietly.
Only in the yard, with two surveillance cameras, was the spot where he parked a blind spot.
Lu Muchi hesitated. He had a psychological trauma; the first time Xu Qiaoyin disappeared, she told him she was going to buy something and never came back. Now that Xu Qiaoyin's attitude had softened, he was still afraid that she would disappear without a word again.
Then I realized I was worrying unnecessarily.
The villa was full of his people, covered in surveillance cameras, and located halfway up a mountain in a desolate area, leaving Xu Qiaoyin with nowhere to run.
Besides, Yan Heqing is now the woman he loves, so there's no reason for him not to grant her requests.
His tone was somewhat indulgent. "Do as you please."

A few hours later, Lu Muchi went crazy over his decision, though he was still unaware of it. He didn't even bring a driver, driving himself to buy butterfly pastries for Yan Heqing.
After washing up, Xu Qiaoyin that after being locked up for two months, her legs were no longer like hers, and Yan Heqing had to help her downstairs.
It wasn't until she stepped out of the villa and saw the green hills and trees that she finally felt alive again.
Never before had it been so clear that she longed for freedom, longed to fly into the sky.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the long-missed air.
Two servants followed at a distance as Yan Heqing led Xu Qiaoyin on a leisurely stroll. Suddenly, he turned around and called them forward, "Do you have a cloak?"
One of them nodded, "Yes, I'll go get it."
Yan Heqing instructed, "Make it thicker."
After one left, he asked the other, "Do you have tea?"
Everyone had seen Lu Muchi's attitude towards Yan Heqing. The maid quickly replied, "Yes, we have green tea, black tea, white tea, and fruit tea. What would you like to drink?"
Yan Heqing turned to Xu Qiaoyin and asked her a question before turning back with a smile, " Teacher Xu, no, I want black tea."
The maid ran into the room to get tea.
No one expected that Yan Heqing would help Xu Qiaoyin escape.
When the two servants returned and found Yan Heqing missing, they were puzzled. Then Yan Heqing came out of the villa alone.
" Teacher Xu is sleepy, I'll take her back to her room to rest. Please don't go in and disturb her. I'm going to the supermarket, I'll give her her medicine when I get back."
Xu Qiaoyin was emotionally unstable, so the doctor prescribed sedatives. The servants didn't suspect anything and readily agreed.
Yan Heqing then asked, "How do I get to the supermarket recently?"
The maid gave him directions.
Yan Heqing thanked him and drove away from the villa openly and honestly.
Xu Qiaoyin hid in the back seat. Knowing that the car had left the villa, she still didn't dare to make a sound. When Yan Heqing told her to get up, she calmed herself down for a while before holding her breath and straightening up. She was still squatting and carefully looking out the window.
The mountain scenery recedes into the distance.
On the mountain road, only Yan Heqing's car was there.
Xu Qiaoyin burst into tears, her fingers trembling as she covered her face, weeping silently.
Yan Heqing drove quietly, letting her vent her emotions. During this time, he had simulated the route from the villa to the airport countless times. He remembered the speed limit for each section and the fastest travel time for each road.
The shortest time to reach the airport is No. 1 Primary School and forty minutes.
Lu Muchi took Xu Qiaoyin's ID card, so Yan Heqing took her to the airport to get a temporary certificate.
This stop was a transit point he bought for Xu Qiaoyin. After the plane landed, Xu Qiaoyin could switch to other modes of transportation and choose where she wanted to go.
After picking up the plane tickets, Hua could board the plane with Xu Qiaoyin. Yan Heqing took a small cardboard box from the car; it contained lychee honey, which needed to be checked in.
Xu Qiaoyin had recovered her composure. At the security checkpoint, she looked at Yan Heqing for a moment, then said apologetically, " Xiao Yan, I'm sorry. He hurt you, and you still helped me..."
Both of them knew he was Lu Muchi. Yan Heqing smiled and said, "You are you, and he is him. You don't need to apologize for him."
Overwhelmed with maternal love, Xu Qiaoyin thought, " Yan Heqing is only 18 years old!" Tears streamed down her face as she stepped forward and gave him a hug. "What will you do if he finds out I'm gone?"
"Don't worry," Yan Heqing gently hugged Xu Qiaoyin back, "I have a plan."
The announcement urged boarding. Yan Heqing released her, took a tissue from his pocket, and handed it to Xu Qiaoyin, saying, "May you only have smiles from now on."
Xu Qiaoyin covered her mouth, her tears flowing even more freely.
She wiped away her tears and asked Yan Heqing for another favor, "I'm not able to contact Auntie Zhang right now. Could you please tell her when you go to the orphanage that I'm fine and will be fine from now on?"
Yan Heqing agreed.
At 2:30, a plane took off on time.
Yan Heqing looked up at the sky quietly, unsure if it was Xu Qiaoyin's flight.
He could only be certain of it.
Lu Muchi has no mother.
The original text describes how Yuan Wen and Xu Qiaoyin reconciled and how Yuan Wen received such warm maternal love.
What Lu Muchi the right?
Yan Heqing's eyes remained expressionless. After a moment, he turned and walked out of the airport.
They got in the car, started the engine, and drove back to Lu Muchi's villa along the same route.
His original plan was to drop Xu Qiaoyin off, go home from the airport, and wait for Lu Muchi to come to him.
But Lu Lin taught him something while he was sea fishing.
To catch a 200-pound tuna, you need to use small fish that already live in the sea, not ordinary bait.
Even small fish can kill big fish.
He changed his mind.
He was going to wait for Lu Muchi on his turf.
At that moment, a WeChat notification popped up on my phone.
Then came continuous vibrations.
This frequency can't be from Lu Lin; it's either Lin Fengzhi or the class group chat.
Yan Heqing ignored it and returned to Lu Muchi's villa, but Lu Muchi had not yet returned.
He parked his car, picked up an empty bag, and went upstairs to the second floor under the watchful eye of the servants.
