2263 We“ll get married after I come back Si Yehan looked into the distance and absentmindedly said, “Wanwan, it’s nearly time for the Arbitration Council’s yearly summit. I need to go to Tianshui City for a period of time.” During the summit every year, the Arbitration Council would discuss important matters and revise all the rules of the Twelve Independent States. Ye Wanwan frowned when she heard that. “A conference, huh…” If the Arbitration Council was meeting, Yin Yuerong would definitely be there too and Si Yehan’s mother, Yin Yuerong, lived in Tianshui City. Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but be worried. Although she didn’t know Yin Yuerong well, she knew that woman definitely wasn’t simple merely judging from Si Yehan’s caution toward his mother. Furthermore, what Yin Yuerong said with a faint smile before she left truly made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Si Yehan paused and suppressed the nervousness that swiftly flitted through the bottom of his eyes. However, his expression looked as apathetic as always as he asked extremely calmly, “When I return, we’ll get married.” Ye Wanwan, whose mind had gone on a road trip, immediately looked up and nodded enthusiastically. “Sure sure!” As Si Yehan looked at the girl’s sparkling eyes, his heart returned to its place and his taut lips also turned up into an extremely bewitching smile. He pulled her into his arms and pressed a kiss on the corner of her lips. Ye Wanwan blinked, not understanding Si Yehan’s reaction. “Say, baby, why are you so excited? Isn’t it guaranteed that I’d agree?” At that moment, Lin Que’s eerie voice drifted from behind them. “Ahem… excuse me… there’s still someone here…” Ye Wanwan turned to peer at Lin Que. “Oh. I know. You’re glowing so brightly, so how could I not have seen you?” Lin Que: “…” Since she saw him, couldn’t she have some consideration for this single man’s feelings? Lin Que silently stood there, rendered speechless. He suddenly thought of something and hesitatingly looked at Si Yehan, unable to stop himself from asking in the end, “Ninth Brother, are we really going back to Tianshui City? That’s Auntie Rong’s territory! What if… we go and don’t return…” Before Lin Que could finish speaking, a severe glance from Si Yehan made him choke back his words. Ye Wanwan originally didn’t intend to ask too many questions, but it really wouldn’t do if she didn’t ask at a time like this. “Ah-Jiu, just what is the matter… between you and your mother?” Si Yehan was truly very wary of Yin Yuerong. His expression changed the second this person was mentioned. After a brief silence, Si Yehan said, “Wanwan, I don’t want to lie to you. My mother’s very dangerous. During the next few weeks, try not to go out alone, and Tangtang too—don’t let him go to school for now. I’ll have Jiang Yan follow and protect you two.” The reason he had to return to Tianshui City was to negotiate with Mother. Ye Wanwan frowned. “That serious…? Do you really have to go back?” “I can’t skip this conference.” “Then I’ll come with you!” Ye Wanwan suggested. “No.” Si Yehan rejected immediately. Lin Que caught his Ninth Brother’s glance and cooperatively joined in the persuasion. “Um, Ninth Sister, Auntie Rong actually isn’t that scary. She didn’t chop her husband into pieces or skin her husband’s lover or boil her son alive. Look at how Ninth Brother is still alive and well… The rumors are all false… Don’t believe them…”
