“Ye Wanwan subconsciously rubbed her eyes and finally realized that she indeed hadn’t seen wrong.
Wait…
Did Si Yehan just say to himself that there’s a meeting?
They’re having a meeting?!
“Mom.”
Upon seeing Ye Wanwan, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
“Mom, how’s Dad doing?” Ye Wanwan stared at him, smiling.
Hearing her words, he shook his head, saying, “Hungry.”
“Hungry?”
Ye Wanwan was baffled. Wasn’t his dad cooking?
“Dad’s cooking is bad.”
Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, he continued, “Dad’s cooking is bad.”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
“Be a good boy and call your dad over,” Ye Wanwan said.
“Dad.”
The little boy called.
“Almost done,” Si Yehan replied calmly.
“Mom told you to come,” the boy said.
As Si Yehan heard this, he turned slightly towards the boy’s phone.
Si Yehan: “…”
“Did the meeting finish so quickly?”
Ye Wanwan chuckled at Si Yehan, who was wearing an apron and holding a spatula.
This outfit… it looks odd, and upon closer inspection, it’s comical.
“Mom, Dad didn’t have a meeting today,” the boy casually said.
“Oh?” Ye Wanwan pondered.
Si Yehan: “…”
“Be good with Dad, and Mom will come get you in a few days, alright?” Ye Wanwan shifted her gaze from Si Yehan to the boy.
“Okay.” The boy nodded. “Mom, I’m going to eat now.”
With that, the video call ended.
After the call, Si Yehan and the boy stared at each other, one big and one small, four eyes meeting.
…
The Unyielding Alliance
Ye Wanwan’s lips curled. Her own biological son truly lived up to expectations—even his biological father couldn’t fool him.
At this moment, she could even sense Si Yehan’s indescribable emotions.
The baby she bore must be taken care of, even if she had to kneel.
“Feng Jie, did you come to find me?”
Moments later, the large head of Beidou entered through the door crack, looking at Ye Wanwan.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting your head stuck in the door? Come in,” Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows.
“Oh!” Hearing her, Beidou pushed open the office door and hurried over.
“I’m asking you, how’s the investigation going these days?” Ye Wanwan asked sternly.
“Um… Feng Jie, you see, it’s not really my fault. Even the Elders and the others from the Seven Stars haven’t figured things out. I think rushing won’t lead to success. You need to take your time to find things, like how you can’t gulp down hot tofu. It has to be savored slowly,” Beidou looked at Ye Wanwan, somewhat guilty.
“Do you believe I’ll soak your head in water?” Ye Wanwan said.
Beidou: “Please, Feng Jie, I’ll go find out immediately. I’ll search non-stop. Even if I have to search the entire Independent State, I’ll find them!”
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan sighed somewhat helplessly. While others had gone out to sea, he was still searching within the Independent State. There’s no way he’d find them even in a hundred years.
“Go out to sea, search the nearby islands,” Ye Wanwan said.
As her words fell, Beidou first froze, then slapped his thigh, “Right! Why didn’t I think of that! There are many islands nearby. Those missing people might be imprisoned on one of them!”
Beidou immediately gave Ye Wanwan a thumbs-up, “Feng Jie, you’re truly one of a kind, unmatched before and after. Your wisdom is profound and unfathomable!”
Ye Wanwan was utterly puzzled. What does “profound and unfathomable” mean? Isn’t it supposed to be “profound and inscrutable”?”
