Chapter 868: Chapter 868: The Mysterious Paper Box

He Zhilan didn’t respond to Bian Xiulin’s teasing and instead talked to her about other matters, inquiring about when Bian Xiulin and Xing Ye’s wedding would be held.

The four of them spent the afternoon at the hotel. As evening approached, Xing Ye drove off to pick up his child and wife. After seeing the guests off, He Zhilan returned to her room and was startled to see the toy gun on the bed. Shaking her head, she thought to herself how forgetful Xing Jialang could be, leaving behind his beloved toy gun when he saw his father come to pick him up.

Approaching the bed, He Zhilan moved the toy gun to the table nearby, intending to bring it to Little Jialang the next time she visited the Xing Family.

Whenever He Zhilan needed something, Lin Chan acted swiftly. In just a few days, Lin Chan presented the gathered information to He Zhilan. Once the data came in, and seeing there was still a market both domestically and internationally, He Zhilan decisively approved for Nuoyin to stay at Lanteng Company and also offered a high salary to retain Nuoyin’s entire team.

This decision meant that He Zhilan would not be able to return to the capital for some time. Back at the translation agency, they had hired new staff, so they could manage without He Zhilan—only He Teng was at a loss for words when he heard He Zhilan might stay in S Province for an additional month.

"Are you coming back after a month?" He Teng’s voice did not betray any displeasure, but his follow-up question gave away his reluctance for He Zhilan’s extended stay in S Province, "A month means thirty days, right?"

"All I can say is around a month!" He Zhilan couldn’t help but giggle, feeling a small surge of joy. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Had she not stayed in S Province for a few days, she would not have realized how much He Teng missed her.

Indeed, occasionally being away does have its advantages.

After a long pause, the man on the phone finally responded with a muffled acknowledgment, then unenthusiastically reminded He Zhilan to take good care of herself before hanging up.

Since He Zhilan was certain she’d stay in S Province for nearly another month, she asked Xing Ye to arrange accommodations for her. It wasn’t too convenient for her, a young woman, to stay in hotels all the time.

When He Zhilan was moving, Xing Ye only sent a driver because there wasn’t much to move. He Zhilan didn’t call anyone else for help and just had the Xing Family’s driver load her things into the car before she went to the front desk to check out.

"Hello, you are Miss He Zhilan, right?" The front desk attendant glanced at He Zhilan and asked.

He Zhilan nodded without suspicion and handed over her bill.

Unexpectedly, after taking the bill, the attendant turned around and brought out a specially packaged box, handing it to He Zhilan, "Good morning, a gentleman left this here early in the morning, saying it was for you to receive. Please take good care."

"A gentleman?" He Zhilan was puzzled, "Did he say his name?"

"I’m sorry, the gentleman didn’t leave any information. Please take this, and we welcome you to visit us again." The attendant politely smiled at He Zhilan and then returned her room deposit.

He Zhilan grabbed the package, which felt light, and left the hotel with her belongings.

This time, Xing Ye arranged for He Zhilan to stay in a government agency’s dormitory—a clean, self-contained one-bedroom apartment on the second floor.

After the Xing Family’s driver had left, He Zhilan finally had a moment to open the box she received from the hotel.

The box was tightly wrapped with adhesive tape on the outside, showing that the person who sent this took great care with it.
