No, no, no, thats alright. Shangguan Ze quickly shook his head like a rattle, took a deep breath, and finally started driving, slowly like a tractor.

Rong Qi turned her head to look out the window, not speaking anymore. Her hand, however, instinctively rested on her small belly, soothing the tiny life inside.

Give the North City property to the Seven Sinisters, Rong Qi said.

Why? I planned to use it to expand our own influence, Shangguan Ze questioned, perplexed. Is this a condition you negotiated with Hades? I have other properties I can offer to the Seven Sinisters. Maybe we should keep this one?

Shangguan Ze was hesitant. He had many properties in Merica, Leucia, and Ferica, but the North City land was prime real estate he had intended to use for a swimming pool.

Rong Holdings cant be taken for nothing. Giving the North City land to the Seven Sinisters ensures a peaceful coexistence. Dont forget, Sevenfold Venture Group is returning to the country. Only by cooperating with the Seven Sinisters can we avoid much trouble.

Makes sense. Ill handle it this afternoon. Shangguan Ze replied.

Hmm. Rong Qi softly acknowledged and leaned back to sleep.

The slow speed of the car allowed Rong Qi to enjoy a comfortable nap. However, just as she entered a light sleep, Shangguan Ze suddenly braked hard, jolting her awake.

Rong Qi sat up, ready to throw a punch. But her gaze swept over the rearview mirror, and her eyes instantly turned icy.

On the other hand, Ye Nanshen was called away by Gu Ziye after separating from Rong Qi.

Gu Ziye, having just returned from a business trip, was kicked out of his house by his mother for being lazy. With Lu Chengzhou not around, Gu Ziye had no choice but to call Ye Nanshen. Ye Nanshen, coincidentally needing to discuss Sevenfold Venture Group matters, went to meet Gu Ziye.

In the private room, Gu Ziye lay on the sofa drinking. He handed Ye Nanshen a bottle when he arrived. Ye Nanshen took it but only poured a small amount for himself. Gu Ziye sat up and asked, You look down on me?

Drinking is bad for pregnant women. Im different from you; I have a family, and my wife is strict, Ye Nanshen replied, sipping his drink with a proud smile.

Gu Ziye, annoyed, drank his entire bottle in one go. He had planned to matchmake Ye Nanshen with his sister, but things had changed. He reminisced about his sisters fierce behavior the last time he tried to talk to her.

Ye Nanshen didnt respond, swirling the gla.s.s in his hand.

By the way, Ye Shaoxian returned to the country. Did you know? Gu Ziye asked.

Ye Nanshen frowned and responded, I know.

The commotion of Ye Shaoxian being beaten upon his return was hard to miss.

Their conversation was interrupted as Ye Nanshen checked his phone. Gu Ziye, having drunk too much, soon got drunk. Standing to help Gu Ziye to a hotel, Ye Nanshen suddenly felt a headache. Ye Nanshens vision blurred, and he sat back down, rubbing his forehead slowly.

At that moment, the rooms door was pushed open, and a woman entered. Wearing a yellow dress with slightly curled hair, she smiled as she approached him. She turned off the main light in the room, casting a suggestive glow. As she entered, the door was shut and seemingly locked from outside..
