Another possibility is that Xiao Yaqing is already married or has a boyfriend, so having Lin Yuluo stay with her might not be very convenient.

But after thinking it over, another reason could be that Xiao Yaqing is intentionally giving Ling Zhenfei and Lin Yuluo some time alone together.

Ling Zhenfei didn't say much; since Xiao Yaqing asked him to send Lin Yuluo, he might as well do it.

Ling Zhenfei and Lin Yuluo walked out of the Imperial Palace Club, and after finding out the destination, they realized that the hotel Lin Yuluo was staying at was very close by. If they walked directly, it would only take about ten minutes.

It was already very late; the pedestrian street had finally quieted down significantly, free from the daytime noise and hustle.

Ling Zhenfei and Lin Yuluo walked side by side. Although they had chatted cheerfully in front of Xiao Yaqing earlier, they found themselves unsure of what to say when it was just the two of them.

"How have you been these days?" Ling Zhenfei asked first, looking towards Lin Yuluo.

Lin Yuluo nodded and said, "I've been fine, just traveling around. I came back when I felt homesick."

Ling Zhenfei looked at Lin Yuluo and said, "Are you staying for a while this time, or are you staying in the country? There are many great places worth visiting domestically."

Lin Yuluo smiled at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Traveling has now become a lifestyle for me. The world is so big, and there are many places I haven't been to yet, so I still need to wander around."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit surprised because Lin Yuluo didn't seem like the type who enjoyed the outdoors. He originally thought she chose to travel abroad to clear her troubled mind.

But now Ling Zhenfei realized that Lin Yuluo had a natural inclination for adventure.

"Where do you plan to go?" Ling Zhenfei asked, having no way to stop or change Lin Yuluo's plans.

"I'm planning to go to Oceania. The islands there are quite nice. Now that I've almost traveled across Europe, America, and Asia, Oceania or Africa might be next."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit shocked, "Those places can be dangerous, some even have primitive clans."

Lin Yuluo said, "Don't worry. Every trip I take is meticulously planned by professionals, so it's all very safe. Rest assured."

"What is your purpose for coming back this time?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Lin Yuluo smiled at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I have something very important to do this time, and I need to meet some people to avoid any regrets."

"The way you say that sounds like a farewell speech," Ling Zhenfei said.

"Don't jinx me; if anything happens, I'd surely find you."

After saying a few words, Lin Yuluo still didn't mention what she was back to do.

They continued walking slowly because the distance was too short, and even though they walked very slowly, they soon arrived at the entrance of the hotel where Lin Yuluo was staying.

The hotel was quite upscale, clearly a high-end place, and it was very close to the hotel they were staying at, just a few minutes' walk.

"Actually, I didn't expect you to have changed so much when I left. Seeing you today, it's hard to believe," Lin Yuluo said, gazing at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "What's different? I'm just a bit older than I was back then."

Lin Yuluo shook her head and said, "No, you are definitely different. You're more confident, more composed, and overall, more charming."

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly and said, "You've changed too. You've been to so many places, met many people, and encountered many things. You've become a lot more cheerful and more beautiful."

Lin Yuluo laughed and said, "Really? Then if I ask you to come with me now, would you still refuse?"

Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing that. He didn't expect Lin Yuluo to mention this again. When she initially asked him to go with her, he refused, saying he wanted to work hard on his own.

Back then, Ling Zhenfei felt he wasn't worthy of Lin Yuluo. But now things were different; he had become the Chairman of a group, which was rapidly growing.

Considering the growth trend, no other company could match such a speed.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei hesitate, Lin Yuluo laughed again, "I was just saying it casually. You don't have to take it seriously. I know you definitely won't come with me. You're doing so well now; there's no way you'd leave with me."

Ling Zhenfei and Lin Yuluo certainly had feelings for each other; if it hadn't been for Ling Zhenfei's help, Lin's Group would have fallen into Du Kongting's hands, leaving Lin Yuluo with nothing.

Back then, the two of them were inseparable at Lin's Group, envied by many.

"Everyone makes different choices; everyone has their own way of life and their own way of striving. I still need to work hard for some time."

Lin Yuluo smiled at Ling Zhenfei and asked, "You should be getting married soon, right?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "I don't have any plans for marriage at the moment."

Lin Yuluo was surprised, "Oh, right. A star like you surely has many girls around you, like Yang Zixuan. How are the two of you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Can you stop calling me a star? Only you say that. No one else has. As for Yang Zixuan, we are indeed very good friends."

"Just friends? Then what about the girl who joined you for dinner yesterday?" Lin Yuluo asked, slightly disappointed.

"That was Jiang Hui, my secretary and assistant," Ling Zhenfei replied.

"Do you have a real girlfriend now?" Lin Yuluo asked.

"Not yet, no confirmed relationship. When I decide to marry, I guess I'll have one by then."

Lin Yuluo smiled without continuing the conversation. Looking at the hotel, she said, "Do you want to come up and drop me off?"

Ling Zhenfei paused. A girl asking him to escort her upstairs so late might be hinting at something, but Ling Zhenfei didn't want to get too involved with Lin Yuluo.

He was no longer the same as before. Even if he did have a relationship with Lin Yuluo, he couldn't guarantee she would be the one he'd marry because there were simply too many girls he owed.

Therefore, he didn't want to get entangled with Lin Yuluo. Since Lin Yuluo liked freedom, he decided to let her be free.

"I think it's unnecessary. I'll drop you off at the entrance. Rest well."

Having said this, Ling Zhenfei intended to turn and leave, but Lin Yuluo unexpectedly pulled him back.

"Are you afraid of me?" Lin Yuluo said, pulling Ling Zhenfei back.

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "How could I be? You're not a devil, so what is there to fear?"
