Zhou Yun said, "Zhang Duo indeed mentioned it, but he said your recipe is too complicated, and large-scale production is quite unlikely."

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit disappointed after hearing this. If this Hundred Flowers Wine could be brewed on a large scale, it would add a wonderful delicacy to Xi Shan Restaurant.

But since it couldn't be brewed, there was no other way; he could only find a solution later.

Ling Zhenfei picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Yun's, bringing it to his lips for a sip.

The wine carried the fragrance of fresh flowers and a faint aroma of the great forest, with a unique taste that lingered pleasantly.

The wine was excellent, and Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but drink a couple more glasses with Zhou Yun. Usually, Zhou Yun would drink at most one glass, but because she was drinking with Ling Zhenfei today, she had a couple more.

After a few drinks, Zhou Yun's face was flushed, looking very pretty.

Leaning leisurely on the sofa, full of charm, Zhou Yun asked Ling Zhenfei, "The New Year is coming soon. Will you be able to make it back?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "I'll try my best to come back."

Zhou Yun said, "I'm thinking of going back this year?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "You mentioned this to me last time, but are you really going back during the New Year?"

Zhou Yun nodded, "It's been so many years, I think I should go back once."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why don't you wait until I return, and I'll accompany you back."

Zhou Yun laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just going home; there's nothing to worry about."

Ling Zhenfei, indeed a bit worried, said, "I'm really a bit concerned about you. I think we should choose a better timing; now is not the right time."

Zhou Yun said, "It's okay, I'm just going to take a look. If they don't let me come back, then that's it, no need to worry."

Ling Zhenfei knew Zhou Yun was determined; she was definitely going back this year. This touched him a bit, as Zhou Yun hadn't returned in so long.

Those familiar relatives and friends from childhood could no longer be seen, and she must be missing them dearly. "If I weren't in a rush to leave, I'd definitely accompany you."

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "I know; now you just need to take care of your own matters."

The two of them gazed deeply into each other's eyes, seeing only each other's reflections. Ling Zhenfei was momentarily dazed; in his eyes, Zhou Yun was so beautiful, like a celestial fairy.

How many years had it been? In Ling Zhenfei's heart, Zhou Yun was always like a fairy, standing as firm and graceful as a daffodil on the riverbank, no matter how tough life got.

With light pink lipstick, Zhou Yun's lips were as ripe as cherries, and her round, big eyes were as clear as a stream.

The feelings between them were indescribable; if it weren't for all the burdens and pressures, they might have long been together.

The feelings between Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun had long surpassed kinship and surpassed love because they only had each other.

Zhou Yun reached out towards Ling Zhenfei and said, "Hug me."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated slightly because Zhou Yun was leaning on the sofa. Hugging her at that moment would mean pressing her onto the sofa, a scene that seemed quite sensual.

But Ling Zhenfei still embraced Zhou Yun; the two hugged tightly on the sofa, never holding each other so tightly as if afraid of losing one another.

Zhou Yun worried something unexpected might happen when going home for the New Year, while Ling Zhenfei was concerned about potential dangers when he went to Japan.

Although they reassured each other that it was very safe, only they knew the dangers of this trip in their hearts, so they held each other tightly, fearing to lose one another.

This hug might be the last one, so they cherished the moment.

This is often how relationships between men and women are, seemingly complex but actually quite simple. As long as they have each other in their hearts, they can always come together at the right time.

Actually, Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun's hearts had long been united, maybe a few years ago, or perhaps destined in this lifetime. They started with a tragic beginning but would have a happy ending.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei woke up from cultivation and said, "I am leaving now, sister-in-law."

Ling Zhenfei didn't doubt for a moment, as Zhou Yun's feelings for him surpassed those for anyone else. For a long time, Zhou Yun and Ling Zhenfei had been in a symbiotic relationship.

Zhou Yun pulled Ling Zhenfei, who was about to get up, and said, "I don't want you to go; it's like sending my husband to the battlefield. Is it very dangerous this time going to Japan? If it's dangerous, then I won't let you go."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to treat a patient, and I'll be back soon."

Zhou Yun stared at Ling Zhenfei for a while, then reluctantly believed him, saying, "Alright, I'll believe you this time, but make sure to be safe."

"Got it, sister-in-law."

After Ling Zhenfei finished saying this, Zhou Yun's expression became a bit unnatural and said, "Yet you still call me sister-in-law. You know this makes me feel very guilty?"

"So what should I do? Should I call you Yunyun from now on?"

Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, "When others are around, you should call me sister. When no one's around, call me Yunyun."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, then you take your time thinking. When I return from Japan, I think you'll know."

Ling Zhenfei said to Zhou Yun, "Then, I'm leaving."

Zhou Yun said reluctantly, "Make sure to return safely."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "I will; I hope to see the best version of you when I come back."

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, then picked up his luggage and left.

Ling Zhenfei had already asked Chen Qian to take him to the airport. He first had to fly to the Provincial City, and from the Provincial City, he would fly to Japan.

Chen Qian was already waiting downstairs with the car. When the agreed time arrived, Ling Zhenfei also walked out of the villa.

Once in the car, Chen Qian drove in the direction of the airport.

"How was your rest last night?" Chen Qian suddenly asked.

"I rested well," Ling Zhenfei answered casually.

Chen Qian smiled slightly, and Ling Zhenfei was a bit taken aback, "What do you mean? Why are you smiling?"

Chen Qian said, "Luckily, it's my villa closest to you; otherwise, wouldn't others hear it?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled, "Was it that loud?"

Even if Chen Qian knew about the relationship between Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun, it wouldn't matter because their feelings were mutual, known only to them, and a matter of time.

Ling Zhenfei said, "With your great qualities, why don't you get a girlfriend? Don't tell me you don't have one; who was that woman with you on vacation last time?"

Chen Qian said, "Don't worry about that; she's not someone I need to be responsible for. You'll know the woman in my heart eventually."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "I really wonder what kind of exquisite woman has you so obsessed, remaining celibate for her."

Chen Qian said, "There's nothing to be done. I made a vow, after all."
