The matters have been settled, and now it's time to set off.
Thus, Lin Yifan ended the trip and took Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing on a plane.
Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing were reluctant to leave, not only because of their attachment to this country but also to Lin Yifan.
In a little more than a day, they had gone through so much, and they had become reliant on this man. Without him by their side, they felt not only unhappy but also unsafe.
"Mr. Lin, do you really want to send us away?" Li Xiangmei asked pitifully.
"It's not that I want to send you away, but you have to leave on your own!" Lin Yifan answered.
"If there were a choice, even if you forced us to leave, we wouldn't go!"
The reason they were leaving Shenzhou Country was largely because of Lin Yifan; they didn't want to be caught by bad guys and used to coerce Lin Yifan into a deadly situation. Hence, they chose to leave Shenzhou Country out of necessity.
"I know I've implicated you, and I'm deeply sorry for that."
Lin Yifan felt self-reproach and guilt because a large part of their departure was due to him, so he couldn't face them.
"Mr. Lin, I don't mean to blame you. I just want... I just want..."
As she spoke, Li Xiangmei lost the courage to continue because what she was about to say was too selfish.
"What do you want?"
Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"I want you to stay with us."
Li Xiangmei mumbled quietly, not daring to face Lin Yifan, because this request was indeed too selfish.
"You know that's impossible. I have many things to do. I can't abandon my girlfriend and my family; they are currently in dire straits, urgently needing my rescue, so I'm really sorry."
Lin Yifan couldn't comply with Li Xiangmei's request, otherwise, he would be an unjust, unfaithful, and unfilial person.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Li Xiangmei knew it was impossible, yet still sought heartbreak, truly bringing it upon herself.
"It's okay, I understand."
Lin Yifan did not blame her too much because this was a matter of human nature.
After a brief delay, the three headed to the airport and boarded a plane.
Lin Yifan accompanied Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing until they were settled.
The plane arrived in a country in the Southern Hemisphere, and in this unfamiliar land, the three of them felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Yi Chen had arranged for people to receive them at the airport, so after disembarking, they hardly needed to do anything but ride to the living quarters.
Upon arrival, the residence was a villa of considerable size, featuring a large yard, sufficient for Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing to play.
The villa was surrounded by picturesque mountains and rivers, making it an ideal spot for health and wellbeing—a rare find.
Lin Yifan didn't expect Yi Chen to have such good taste, apparently having learned a lot during this time.
"How is it? Satisfied?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"Very satisfied."
Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing replied in unison.
This luxurious villa was nobler than any place they had lived before, so they had no dissatisfaction.
"Satisfied is good! Satisfied is good!"
Lin Yifan was worried that the two women wouldn't like it, and if so, he might have to busy himself again.
Under the guidance and explanation of the sales manager, they became somewhat familiar with the villa's layout and the surrounding facilities.
After receiving the keys, Lin Yifan set things up for the two women to make their stay comfortable.
To ensure Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing had good lives, he even arranged for a maid and bodyguard, offering "attentive service" and "thorough consideration."
Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing were very satisfied, but their greatest concern was still Lin Yifan's departure.
Thus, they repeatedly begged for Lin Yifan to stay a little longer with them.
Unable to resist their requests, Lin Yifan agreed to stay for three days to get familiar with the surroundings and the lifestyle in the unfamiliar country.
The first dinner was markedly different.
The Southern Hemisphere country had a majority of Westerners, so their dietary habits leaned Western.
Lin Yifan and the others had steak, cheese, eggs, ham, fruit salad, and other foods.
Though similar to their experiences with Western cuisine, a consistent diet like this could become tiresome.
Western cooking is extremely simple, making it difficult to create a variety of tasty dishes; Lin Yifan thought he might need to hire a Shenzhou Country maid for Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing.
However, he feared the old adage that internal threats are the hardest to guard against, so he was unsure what to decide at the moment.
Seeing his gloomy face, troubled by this issue, Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing directly responded, saying they could take care of themselves.
They were not pampered Princesses; they could cook, wash clothes, and do all the house chores, eliminating the need to wrack his brain to hire a trusted maid.
Since the two women were so proactive, Lin Yifan no longer worried; as long as they were content, he was satisfied.
After dinner, the three went to a nearby supermarket to buy items needed for Shenzhou-style cooking and daily necessities.
They purchased frying pans, oil, rice, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, laundry liquid, towels, and other items before heading to the sanitary napkin section.
In fact, Lin Yifan didn't know this was the sanitary napkin section; it was Xiaoqing who dragged him there.
"Mr. Lin, please buy sanitary napkins for our sister Xiangmei."
This was Xiaoqing's goal, not only to tease Lin Yifan but also to foster the relationship between Li Xiangmei and Lin Yifan.
"Xiaoqing, how could you bring Mr. Lin to such an embarrassing place?"
Li Xiangmei was somewhat annoyed; Xiaoqing was being impolite.
Leaving a man like Lin Yifan here, how could he save face?!
However, Lin Yifan had experienced such things before, so he didn't feel embarrassed or demeaned.
"Sister Xiangmei, a man who wants to be good to a woman will choose the most suitable sanitary napkins for her. I believe Mr. Lin has the courage and will choose the best for you." Xiaoqing replied.
This statement was clearly a trap.
If he left, it would mean he was a liar, saying sweet nothings to Li Xiangmei earlier just to deceive her emotions.
If he didn't leave, he'd have to choose sanitary napkins for Li Xiangmei.
It's well-known that among the opposite sex, only a boyfriend or husband has this privilege, so Xiaoqing was undoubtedly elevating his relationship with Li Xiangmei.
But was Lin Yifan so easily fooled? Hence, he responded, "Actually, you might not need these things."
"Why?"
Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing looked puzzled.
Whether married or not, most women experience menstruation monthly, so how could they possibly not need these things?
