Ye Wanwan was aghast. Lin Que was better off not explaining; his contribution merely made her more worried.

Si Yehan solemnly said, "Be good and stay here while you wait for my return. If you come with me, I'd have to take you into consideration, and it'd be more inconvenient to do things."

Judging from Si Yehan's att.i.tude, he definitely wouldn't allow her to go. When Ye Wanwan thought about it, she really didn't have any confidence in pacifying the ent.i.ty that was her mother-in-law, so she'd produce the opposite of the desired result if she went. Thus, she could only nod. "Alright then. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately."

"Okay."

Ye Wanwan raised her brows. "Then our wedding ceremony will be held after the summit concludes. If you don't come back then, don't blame me for barging over there to abduct you!"

Si Yehan broke into a chuckle. "That won't happen."

Even though he would look forward to that very much.

Big Dipper sprinted over with a brown paper bag. "Sis Feng, I've written down the thing you wanted! Also, I've given the order to inform you as soon as there's news of Emperor Ji! Don't worry!"

Si Yehan's expression didn't appear to change, and he merely glanced at Big Dipper.

Ye Wanwan's spine stiffened though and her expression changed instantly. She glared at Big Dipper. "Alright alright, I'm not deaf! Talk more quietly."

Then she cleared her throat and hastily turned to Si Yehan and cautiously explained, "Since there wasn't any news of Ji Xiuran after we left the island, I told them to keep an eye on it. Don't overthink it!"

Si Yehan aloofly replied, "In your eyes, am I that unreasonable a person?"

Ye Wanwan retorted, "Haha, you aren't. You aren't in the slightest! You're so reasonable, and I've never been drowned by a sea of vinegar!"

Si Yehan: "…"

Ye Wanwan chuckled dryly and took the doc.u.ment bag from Big Dipper. "Hey baby, since you're going to attend a conference, help me bring this there while you're at it."

"What is it?" Si Yehan asked.

Ye Wanwan answered with a grin. "It's my litigation letter to sue the Direct Line for violating our contract! Oh right, if they aren't willing to accept the punishment, they can also provide monetary compensation! I don't mind, haha!"

Si Yehan glanced at the fox-like girl and gently patted her on the head. "Okay, I'll help you aim for the highest compensation."

Ye Wanwan immediately jumped up to kiss Si Yehan. "I love you the most!"

Big Dipper became flabbergasted and mused in exclamation, "I used to actually think Lord Asura was too uptight and didn't match my Sis Feng, but looking at them now, they really match each other too well…"

Lin Que piped in, "You might've had some misunderstanding regarding my Ninth Brother."

…

The most important summit of the Twelve Independent States was about to convene. Si Yehan quickly headed toward Tianshui City.

At the entrance to Tianshui City, the sky gradually darkened.

A black car had just parked. Before they could display their entry permit, they were surrounded by a group of people.

In the dim light, the leader, a young man wearing a uniform and military boots, marched to the front of the black car and coldly said, "Young Master, this way, please. Madam is waiting for you."

The young man's face was icy like a robot and lacked any expression. His entire person was akin to a blade gleaming with blood, and by merely standing there, he caused chills to pervade people's hearts.

Inside the car, Lin Que peered outside the car and nearly started crying. "Oh my G.o.d, it's Wei Ziqian! It's over, Ninth Brother. Auntie Rong has even dispatched the Iron Guards. I told you we shouldn't have come back; Auntie Rong is definitely waiting to capture you! Aren't we sheep walking into a tiger's den…"

The second Lin Que recalled Auntie Rong's extremely beautiful face, his legs started trembling, and he even couldn't look directly at Ninth Brother's similar face…
