Ye Wanwan subconsciously rubbed her eyes and realized she was seeing it correctly indeed.
Wait…
Didn’t Si Yehan just tell me he had a meeting to attend?
This was the meeting?!
“Mommy.”
Tangtang’s eyes sparkled when he saw Ye Wanwan.
“Tangtang, are you doing alright at Daddy’s?” Ye Wanwan grinned at her son.
Tangtang shook his head though. “Hungry.”
“Hungry?”
Ye Wanwan was dumbfounded. Isn’t his real dad cooking right now?
“Daddy’s cooking is bad.”
Tangtang seemed to have caught Ye Wanwan’s thoughts.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
“Good Tangtang. Call your Daddy over,” Ye Wanwan said.
“Daddy,” Tangtang called.
“Almost done,” Si Yehan calmly replied.
“Mommy’s calling you,” Tangtang responded.
Si Yehan was startled briefly and automatically turned to look at Tangtang’s phone.
Si Yehan: “…”
“Your meeting finished so quickly?”
Ye Wanwan snickered as she surveyed Si Yehan, who was wearing an apron and had a spatula in his hand.
His outfit… looked out of sorts no matter how she looked at it and was almost comical upon a closer look.
“Mommy, Daddy doesn’t have a meeting today,” Tangtang casually interjected.
“Oh?” Ye Wanwan looked pensive.
Si Yehan: “…”
“Tangtang, be good with Daddy. Mommy will come pick you up in a few days, okay?” Ye Wanwan shifted her gaze away from Si Yehan and settled on Tangtang.
“En.” Tangtang nodded. “Mommy, I’m going to eat now.”
The video call ended.
When Ye Wanwan’s face disappeared from the screen, Si Yehan stared at Tangtang, and Tangtang also stared at Si Yehan, adult and child gazing at each other speechlessly.
…
At the Fearless Alliance:
Ye Wanwan’s lips turned up. Tangtang truly was her real son. He sold his real dad out without any hesitation.
She could imagine the indescribable emotions simmering inside Si Yehan right now.
However, he sired the child, so he had to look after Tangtang even if he was on his knees.
“Sis Feng, you were looking for me?”
A moment later, Big Dipper’s gargantuan head slipped through the narrow slit of the doors, looking at Ye Wanwan.
“Aren’t you afraid of your head getting clipped by the doors? Enter.” Ye Wanwan frowned.
“OK!” Big Dipper pushed open the office doors and sprinted to her desk.
“I want to ask you—how’s the investigation gone these past few days?” Ye Wanwan asked seriously.
“Eh… Sis Feng, um, truthfully… It’s really not my fault. Aren’t First Elder and Seven Star also unsuccessful? I think that more haste would lead to less speed. We’ve got to slowly search for the people just like how we have to drink water slowly!” Big Dipper guiltily replied.
“Do you believe that I’ll soak your head into water?” Ye Wanwan retorted.
“Don’t, Sis Feng! I’ll look immediately! I will keep searching non-stop, and I’ll find them even if I have to turn the Independent State upside down!”
Ye Wanwan sighed helplessly. Asura had gone to the sea, and they were still searching in the Independent State. They wouldn’t find Emperor Ji even if they searched for 100 years!
“Go to the sea. Search the nearby islands,” Ye Wanwan ordered.
Big Dipper was startled at first before promptly slapping his thigh. “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that?! There are a lot of islands nearby so maybe those missing people got imprisoned on an island!”
Big Dipper gave Ye Wanwan a thumbs-up. “Sis Feng, you’re truly unparalleled in both history and the future! Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Profound and immeasurable!”
Ye Wanwan was dumbfounded. What the heck is “profound and immeasurable”…? Isn’t the saying “profound and enigmatic”?
