Chapter 2288 - Just a little selfishness

As He Lianjue said that, “latch on fast, latch one fast” was written all over his face…

“Do you think that’s possible?” Ye Wanwan was exasperated.

He Lianjue seriously acted based on his impulses. Who in the Independent State didn’t know her identity? Who didn’t know Yi Lingjun didn’t have a daughter? How could she have suddenly become the daughter of the Arbitration Council’s President?

“With Father here, nothing is impossible. If I, Yi Lingjun, said you were my daughter, who in the Independent State would dare to doubt it?”

Ye Wanwan: “…”

Father…?

She still hadn’t agreed yet, alright?

Wasn’t he changing his term of address a bit too fast?

However, He Lianjue was right. Yi Lingjun was the equivalent of a saint in the hearts of the Independent State’s residents. No one would doubt his words.

No matter how Ye Wanwan thought about it, she still thought He Lianjue’s suggestion was too absurd. “Enough talking for now. Don’t tell anybody I was here!”

After He Lianjue’s interruption, Ye Wanwan calmed down and quickly hid in the back before Si Yehan entered.

“Little Worriless, hey, think about it some more…” He Lianjue resentfully glanced at Ye Wanwan’s disappearing figure.

At this moment, a servant came to report that Si Yehan was visiting. Only then did He Lianjue immediately switch into Yi Lingjun mode.

Qin Xiyuan clearly came with Si Yehan, but she didn’t come in.

Of course, she might’ve only come to intentionally have a chance encounter with Si Yehan then send those suggestive photos to Ye Wanwan to provoke conflict. Her objective had already been achieved.

The servants didn’t have time to clean up the living room before Si Yehan entered, so he immediately saw the shattered table inside.

As well as the deep crack on the floor…

Si Yehan: “…”

Yi Lingjun wore an unfathomable expression as he calmly said, “I had a little spar with my little disciple just now and didn’t have time to clean up. Apologies, apologies!”

Si Yehan glanced at Medusa and naturally thought she was the little disciple Yi Lingjun referred to.

“You’re too polite. It’s fine,” Si Yehan replied.

As Medusa covertly evaluated this man whose stunning looks made people unable to look away, she hurriedly ordered the servants to tidy up the living room and move a new tea table inside before retreating.

“Please sit, Director Si,” Yi Lingjun invited. He was the embodiment of a learned scholar and great master without a trace of abnormality in his expression.

When Ye Wanwan, who was hidden in the back, saw Yi Lingjun’s ability to change his face so fast, she seriously suspected whether he had split personalities or not…

Si Yehan nodded and sat down across from Yi Lingjun. “I originally shouldn’t have rudely disturbed you after you return fatigued from your long trip, President Yi, but the Summit is imminent and there’s a matter I must discuss with you as soon as possible.”

Yi Lingjun raised her brows. “Oh? What are you talking about, Director Si?”

Si Yehan didn’t beat about the bush and frankly handed over the document bag containing the new amendment he prepared the past few days.

Yi Lingjun glanced at Si Yehan before accepting the thick documents.

After skimming the documents, Yi Lingjun understood Si Yehan’s intention for coming today. “Heh, you must’ve spent a lot of energy preparing this, right, Director Si? As they say, each new generation surpasses the previous one. You might be young, but you already hold dear the wellbeing of the people close to your heart. The rising generation is truly a force to be reckoned with!”

Si Yehan seemed to have thought of something and his face, which had been cold and rigid since he stepped through the door, softened a few degrees. “You’re praising me too much, President. I don’t dare to claim credit for myself. I didn’t do it for the Independent State. It was merely… just a little selfishness on my part.”

Yi Lingjun imperceptibly glanced at Ye Wanwan’s hiding place before asking, “Oh? Selfishness?”
