Huang De Han spent the whole day thinking about how to trick Yi Bing into going to Brother Li's place in the evening.
Lost in his thoughts, he was absent-minded all day long.
He took Yi Bing and her parents to visit many properties, but Yi Bing wasn't satisfied with any of them.
After a day of house hunting, they had lunch outside and then returned to the inn to rest.
Back at the inn, Huang De Han finally mustered up the courage to say to Yi Bing, "Will you accompany me somewhere tonight?"
"Where are we going?" Yi Bing asked.
"To meet a friend of mine."
As he said these words, Huang De Han avoided eye contact with Yi Bing, feeling guilty.
"What kind of friend?" Yi Bing asked curiously.
"A friend I just met."
Yi Bing tilted her head and thought for a moment, then readily agreed, "Sure."
The fact that Huang De Han was willing to take her to meet his friend was a good thing, and she was willing to give him face.
Thinking about going out in the evening, Yi Bing took a bath.
Seeing that there was still time, Huang De Han asked Yi Bing to take a nap and said he would wake her up when it was time.
After a day of shopping, Yi Bing was tired, so she lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
While Yi Bing was sleeping, Huang De Han walked out of the room and came to the door of Yi Bing's parents' room. He gently knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, and it was Yi Bing's mother who opened it. When she saw Huang De Han, her face lit up with a smile. "De Han, what's the matter?"
"Auntie, the thing is, tonight I'm going to a friend's wedding in Nanyun with Yi Bing. We won't be back for a few days, so you and the tour group can go out and have fun. I've already booked the tour for you."
When Yi Bing's mother heard that Huang De Han wanted to go out with Yi Bing for a few days, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "What kind of friend is it? Can't it wait?"
Huang De Han forced a smile and said, "It's a very good friend."
"Oh, I see. Well then," Yi Bing's mother reluctantly said.
Huang De Han took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Yi Bing's mother, saying, "Auntie, take this money and buy whatever you like when you're out traveling. Don't worry about the cost."
Seeing the red bills, the smile returned to Yi Bing's mother's face, and it was even brighter. She took the money and said, "Okay, you can go with peace of mind. Don't worry about us."
Huang De Han breathed a sigh of relief and reminded her, "A car will come to pick you up at the inn at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Someone will call you then. I've booked a six-day, five-night tour for you."
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, De Han. You're being so generous," Yi Bing's mother said with a wide smile.
"No, it's nothing. I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you properly."
"Don't say that. You're helping us book the tour, it's the same thing. Well, go rest now," Yi Bing's mother said.
"Alright, you rest well too."
After saying that, Huang De Han left.
Today, when he went to see the houses, a tour group arrived. It was then that Huang De Han realized that he should arrange a tour for Yi Bing's parents and brother-in-law while they were away.
When Yi Bing and her parents were not around, he would sell the inn.
Once he returned the money to Brother Li, he would leave Lijiang immediately.
As for Yi Bing, I can only say I'm sorry.
Seeing that it was almost time, Huang De Han woke up Yi Bing.
Yi Bing opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "Is it time already?"
"Yes, please get up quickly," Huang De Han said softly.
Yi Bing then got out of bed.
She put on a long knitted dress that perfectly showcased her figure. She paired it with an off-white cashmere coat, making her look incredibly beautiful.
