Xu Pengfei took leave to go back home early for wedding preparations.

The task of arranging the company’s attendees for the wedding naturally fell on Mo Jingchun.

But with Xia Xiaomin around, Mo Jingchun felt no pressure and acted as a hands-off manager.

In the lobby of the office building’s first floor, Zhou Yaling held Candy in her arms and watched colleagues, laughing and chatting, head out with large and small bags, yet she wasn’t in any hurry at all.

With the key person in hand, the convoy can’t just leave without them.

However... while someone was in no rush, the little one in her arms was anxious.

"Sister, let’s hurry to the car, or brother might leave without us." Candy, full of worry, began to squirm, trying to escape from her sister’s embrace.

"Alright, let’s go over there too."

Seeing Candy’s expression, Zhou Yaling knew she couldn’t tease her anymore.

Otherwise, she might be facing a little crybaby soon.

If her brother or dad found out she made Candy cry, wouldn’t they both scold her?

As soon as Zhou Yaling released her, Candy, with her little backpack on, dashed toward the convoy without a second thought, afraid her brother might leave without her.

If the red envelope flies away before her eyes, who is she going to complain to?

No way, no way!

From a distance, Mo Jingchun, standing by the car, saw Candy running toward him, with Zhou Yaling walking leisurely behind.

"Brother~"

"Hmm, get in the car, the air conditioning is on inside."

After speaking, Mo Jingchun reached out and opened the car door, signaling his sister to get in.

"Okay~" The little one nodded, held onto the car door, and climbed into the car.

Only she could have the founder of Candy Technology open the car door for her.

A while later, Zhou Yaling slowly walked over.

Just as Zhou Yaling was about to open the door and sit in the car to enjoy the air conditioning, she was stopped by a hand.

With a puzzled look, Mo Jingchun said calmly:

"Same old rule, sit on your own side." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Does it matter?" Zhou Yaling murmured, but her body was honest, circling the trunk to sit inside.

Mo Jingchun’s fingers naturally in his pocket twitched slightly, of course it mattered.

Sitting on the right side allows you to look out the window without straining your neck, unlike the left side where your neck would feel sore after a while.

About ten minutes later, Xia Xiaomin got off a tour bus.

"Boss, everyone’s here."

Mo Jingchun glanced at the time, slightly raising an eyebrow.

"What about the packed lunches?"

Without packed lunches, everyone would go hungry.

Either make do at a highway service area or wait until they reach the hotel to eat.

"I’ll call to hurry them up."

"No need." Mo Jingchun looked towards the cafeteria, and Xia Xiaomin followed his gaze.

In the distance, several security personnel each pushed a cart, rushing over.

They seemed anxious too.

"Distribute them."

"Okay."

Sitting in the car, Mo Jingchun instantly felt cooler.

Even though the Heat Term has passed, for some reason the weather remained hot, with no sign of cooling.

Mid-Autumn Festival wasn’t far off either.

In Mo Jingchun’s memory, by Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was already cool, needing a jacket.

The further north, the more so.

A few minutes later, the convoy slowly left the tech park.

Inside the car, Mo Jingchun started eating his packed lunch.

Feeling his sister’s gaze, Mo Jingchun said nothing, silently giving his chicken leg to her.

What choice did he have, she was his sister, if he didn’t spoil her, who would?

There could be many chicken legs, only one sister at any time.

"Hehe." The little one took a bite, then gave the leg back to Mo Jingchun.

"Brother, you eat too. I just wanted a bite because it looked so plump."

Mo Jingchun struggled to control his right hand, though his face muscles twitched a bit, finally sighing lightly.

When did it start? Often eating leftovers.

By seven in the evening, the convoy had been on the highway for over an hour.

The sun had set, but the sky hadn’t darkened yet, though it was about to.

Just then, Candy, sitting in Mo Jingchun’s lap, suddenly shouted:

"Planes! Planes! There are planes!"

"Brother, look, so many planes in the sky!"

Mo Jingchun, eyes closed, opened them and looked up out the window, indeed there were planes.

And they were five fighter jets, though he couldn’t tell the model.

"Hmm, I see them."

After speaking, Mo Jingchun closed his eyes again.

Just fighter jets, though five flying together wasn’t common, it wasn’t unusual either.

Many people knew there was a military airport in the neighboring city.

As Mo Jingchun was about to fall asleep, Candy shook him awake again.

Mo Jingchun wondered if he and his sister were mismatched in terms of fortune.

"Brother, look, there are so many planes again."

Mo Jingchun looked up again, not speaking; his furrowed brow indicated he was thinking.

"How long since the last interval?"

"Boss, fifteen minutes."

The speaker was Xiaofeixia, who, being able to fly planes, was naturally more sensitive to planes than others.

"Fifteen minutes, huh."

Mo Jingchun glanced at his watch, lightly tapping his knee with his fingers.

Meanwhile, Candy lost interest watching the planes disappear into the clouds.

Exactly fifteen minutes later, Mo Jingchun looked up out the window.

"Brother, more planes."

Mo Jingchun looked up at the sunroof; three fighter jets flew in a triangular formation.

Though he still couldn’t tell what model they were, these three were clearly different from the previous ones.

Mo Jingchun pondered; could there be a large parade for this year’s National Day?

"Is there a big parade this year?"

Lone Wolf, sitting in the passenger seat, shook his head and said, "Haven’t heard of any."

"Logically, it’s very possible."

Mo Jingchun understood Lone Wolf’s meaning; parades typically occur every five or ten years.

According to tradition, this year’s National Day might indeed feature a large parade.

By now, the outside sky had fallen into complete darkness.

The highway was flanked by barren mountains, not a light in sight.

In the car, Mo Jingchun controlled Candy’s phone.

Mainly to prevent her from getting dizzy from playing and then carsick.

Zhou Yaling, who tended to get carsick, had unknowingly fallen asleep leaning against the seat.

Mo Jingchun was awakened by someone calling him.

He woke to find rainbow lights outside.

They had arrived at the hotel.

Mo Jingchun took out his phone and glanced; it matched the expected arrival time.

23:23

"Arrange for everyone to rest early; tomorrow we’ll go rafting."
