“Oh right, have your meetings gone smoothly recently?” Ye Wanwan asked.
Si Yehan replied, “With President Yi’s support, they’ve been fairly smooth now.”
Moreover, Ye Wanwan had been showcasing high-profile public displays of affection as Yi Yunmo on her end, winning a lot of support for Si Yehan.
Ye Wanwan hummed. “From what I know, even with Yi Lingjun’s support, such a large reformation won’t be passed so easily, right? I remember the Arbitration Council has a rule that the amendment of major bills requires the unanimous approval of every member.”
“Yes,” Si Yehan replied.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
So even if they won over everyone, how would they overcome the barrier of Yin Yuerong?
Based on Yin Yuerong’s personality, she absolutely wouldn’t approve the passing of the proposed law, right?
Ye Wanwan felt more convicted of this after learning about Yin Yuerong’s history with Si Huaizhang.
Back then, Si Huaizhang eloped with a woman outside of the Independent State, so how could Yin Yuerong agree to lift the restrictions on marriage?
“Don’t worry.” A dark glint flitted across Si Yehan’s eyes. “Everyone has their weakness, and she’s no exception.”
However, until it reached that point, he didn’t want to employ that method. After all, he managed to crawl out of the mud pit with great difficulty; he didn’t want to become someone just like her.
As they spoke, Ye Wanwan’s phone started ringing. It was Nameless Nie calling.
Ye Wanwan answered the call immediately. “Hey, Brother?”
“Worriless, where’s that guy, Yuan Xiao? Did he leave?” Nameless Nie inquired immediately.
Ye Wanwan nodded. “Mhm, he left already.”
“Be careful when you’re alone at home,” Nameless Nie reminded her.
Ye Wanwan grinned. “It’s fine, Ah-Jiu’s here!”
Upon hearing that, Nameless Nie released a sigh of relief. “Oh, brother-in-law is there! That’s good. I feel at ease then!”
“…” He seriously felt reassured by Si Yehan…
After a moment of silence, Nameless Nie lowered his voice and said, “Worriless, Brother knows you and brother-in-law have given a lot of care to the bill and also knows how difficult this matter is. You don’t need to force yourself. If it was an easy matter, the dispute wouldn’t have persisted until now… If worse comes to worst, I’ll take Ling Miao and leave the Independent State!”
Nameless Nie had changed greatly. All the ruthlessness around him had dissipated.
The moment he resisted against the whole world and she stood on his side without any second thought, he felt redeemed.
1Moreover, Ling Miao didn’t die and gave him hope again, finally untying the knot in his heart.
Ye Wanwan gently said, “Brother, things haven’t reached that point yet, so we have a lot of hope. I latched onto an especially thick thigh, eh, no wait, strictly speaking, it was that thigh who insisted on following me and making me latch onto it…”
Nameless Nie was baffled. “Especially thick thigh? Who?”
“My dad… Yi Lingjun…”
Nameless Nie: “…???”
Nameless Nie hastily pressed. “Oh right, I haven’t asked you yet: How did you sneak into the Yi Clan? When did Yi Lingjun go blind? How could he not recognize his own daughter?”
Ye Wanwan replied, “What if I said it was Yi Lingjun who forced me to be his daughter?”
Nameless Nie increased his volume and shouted, “Brother-In-Law, Brother-In-Law, are you there? I think you need to be concerned about my sister’s psychological state!”
1Ye Wanwan pulled the phone farther from Si Yehan. “Shoo! My psychological state is perfectly fine!”
Ye Wanwan irritatedly explained the situation to Nameless Nie and reassured him. This way, he could help cover for her, or else their parents would definitely explode if they found out she secretly came to Tianshui City in search of Si Yehan…
…
The next morning.
The sky brightened and soon, it was time for another day of meetings.
Si Yehan had never arrived late to a single meeting, but at this moment, as he watched the girl in his arms snuggling close to him like a kitten, he had no desire to shift a centimeter.
Until knocking was heard on the door and a housekeeper entered with a trap in hand.
“Eldest Miss…” Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, her gaze landed on the bed and discovered a man in their eldest miss’s bed!
*Crash!!!* In her shock, the housekeeper shattered the tray she was holding.
“Housekeeper Wu? What is it?” Yi Lingjun’s nervous voice trailed from behind.
Yi Lingjun hastily sprinted inside, his gaze locked on the two people on the bed, his mind dumbstruck…
