(Paris, pastries, and Grandpa Lu in designer sunglasses.)
🏠 Morning – The Escape
Xu Yinyin tiptoed into the living room wearing sunglasses and dragging a hot pink suitcase.
Grandpa Lu was already there, wearing a floral scarf, sipping espresso.
"Ready, partner-in-chaos?"
"Always."
"Does Zeyan know?"
"Nope. He thinks I'm going to the grocery store."
They both cackled.
A driver waited outside.
Destination? Private jet. Paris. Two tickets. No husbands allowed.
📞 Meanwhile – Lu Zeyan at the Office
His phone buzzed.
[Yinyin]: "Hi, baby. I might have... accidentally left the country."
He blinked.
"...Excuse me?"
Then a selfie came through.
Yinyin and Grandpa Lu in front of a luxury jet. Yinyin flashing peace signs.
Grandpa doing finger hearts in Gucci shades.
"Don't wait for us for dinner! 🥐❤️🇫🇷"
Zeyan: processing error.
🇫🇷 Paris – Day One: Chaos Unleashed
The Eiffel Tower glistened in the distance.
Grandpa Lu and Yinyin were sitting at a street café, surrounded by shopping bags.
"I haven't felt this alive in twenty years."
"Wait till we go to the underground hacker speakeasy tonight."
"What?"
"Just kidding. Maybe."
They ordered everything off the dessert menu.
Yinyin tried to pay.
Grandpa stopped her.
"You're family. I pay. Zeyan gets the bill anyway."
📱 Meanwhile – Lu Zeyan Goes Through the Five Stages of Abandonment
• Denial: "They'll be back by evening."
• Anger: "Who travels without telling their spouse?!"
• Bargaining: buys her favorite cake and stares at the empty chair across the table
• Depression: watches Eiffel Tower livestream and mutters "That's MY hoodie she's wearing."
• Acceptance: books his own ticket
🎭 Paris – Day Two: More Madness
Yinyin booked a "fashion week experience."
Grandpa got mistaken for a celebrity designer.
They were seated front row.
Yinyin accidentally bought a $30,000 handbag thinking it was €300.
"Oops."
"Zeyan's credit card has seen worse."
📞 Final Scene – FaceTime from Hell
Zeyan finally called.
Yinyin picked up, chewing on a macaron.
"Bonjour, my ex-CEO."
"You LEFT the continent."
"You LEFT me alone during that team-building exercise last month."
"That's not the same—"
Grandpa popped into frame.
"Son, relax. We're building bonds. Also, your wife is way more fun than you."
Zeyan: internally combusting.
Yinyin winked.
"See you when we feel like it."
