"Luoyun, stop guessing, I’m not pregnant," Yu Ru said as she walked out.
"If you won’t admit it, then co with to the hospital for a check-up, or should I just go buy a pregnancy test stick?" Situ Luoyun stood in front of Yu Ru and said.
Yu Ru’s expression darkened, and she said, "Luoyun, don’t talk about this matter to anyone else."
"Whose child is it, anyway?" Situ Luoyun’s gaze fixed on Yu Ru.
"I won’t tell you, so stop asking. All you need to do is keep this secret for , I don’t want any accidents during this engagent," Yu Ru said indifferently.
"Why are you doing this? I know you well enough to say that you wouldn’t have done this if you hadn’t t a man you love. Now that you’re pregnant, there must be soone you like. How can you get engaged to Ji Ling Tian? What about the child, and the father of the child?"
Situ Luoyun’s face was grave as she looked at Yu Ru.
"The father of the child will never know about its existence. After I’m engaged to Ji Ling Tian, I’ll find a way to make it seem like it’s his child," she said.
"Why would you do this? Are you making such a big sacrifice just to preserve the Qin Group? It’s unfair to the child," Situ Luoyun said, trying to persuade her.
"I don’t want to ruin his life, he has soone he loves. None of this should have happened," Yu Ru said, holding her head in her hands, her expression complex.
Situ Luoyun’s expression changed repeatedly, her eyes flickering with light, she said, "Since this is your own choice, I respect it."
"But I still hope you think it through. Ji Ling Tian is not a fool, you won’t be able to deceive him. If he finds out, given his personality, he is sure to make a big deal out of it. You must be ntally prepared."
"Alright, you should rest for now. It’s not good to drink alcohol while pregnant. I’ll leave first; contact anyti if you need anything." Situ Luoyun patted Yu Ru’s shoulder and turned to leave.
Yu Ru raised her head, her face showing a wistful and lonely expression. She touched her belly and murmured to herself, "Maybe you are a gift bestowed to by the heavens. I will protect you."
At that mont, a maternal glow appeared on Yu Ru’s face.
A new day arrived quickly, and Tokyo was still filled with troops conducting a search for Clairvoyant Eye.
This ti Clairvoyant Eye had brazenly stolen the Dragon Head from the Pri Minister’s residence, which was an absolute disgrace to the Island Country. If it wasn’t for Abe Kozo imdiately ordering no one to leak the events of the previous night, the entire Island Country would have been in an uproar by now, bringing great humiliation to Abe Kozo.
Within the Yamaguchi Family villa.
Ye Luo was having breakfast when Yamaguchi Momoe approached him and said, "I have found out about your friend’s whereabouts."
"Really? How is she now, is she still alive?" Ye Luo asked, his eyes filled with hope. He truly didn’t want to hear any news of Ruo Bing’s death, as he wouldn’t be able to face it.
"She’s still alive."
Relief washed over Ye Luo as he heard Yamaguchi Momoe say this, but his expression quickly darkened again.
"However, she’s currently detained inside the Imperial Palace; it would be very difficult to rescue her."
"Detained in the Imperial Palace!" Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed, thoughts racing through his mind.
"It’s almost impossible if you’re planning to rescue soone. The Imperial Palace is one of the places with the highest security and the most experts in the entire Island Country. It’s simply impossible for outsiders to enter, let alone rescue soone from the inside," said Yamaguchi Momoe gravely.
"There must be a way, no matter what, I have to get her out," Ye Luo said with determination in his eyes, constantly pondering a solution.
"There might be one."
Yamaguchi Momoe suddenly spoke.
"What way?" Ye Luo abruptly turned to look at Yamaguchi Momoe.
Yamaguchi Momoe thought for a mont, then said, "Today is Empress Renzhao’s birthday. Tonight, the Heavenly Emperor will host a birthday banquet for the Empress in the Imperial Palace. Those who are invited by the Heavenly Emperor will enter the Imperial Palace to offer birthday congratulations to the Empress."
"My father and I are among those invited this ti. I can find a way to get you in with us, but even if you get inside, it will be very difficult for you to find your friend and rescue her."
"As long as I can get inside the Imperial Palace, I can definitely rescue her."
"But this is really dangerous, you could lose your life if you’re not careful," Yamaguchi Momoe said, her face showing a trace of worry as she looked at Ye Luo.
"Even if I risk my life, I have to try," Ye Luo said resolutely.
Yamaguchi Momoe’s eyes lingered on Ye Luo, a rare look crossing her face, and said, "Do you like her?"
"I..." Ye Luo was at a loss for words for a mont.
"I can tell you’re genuinely worried about her, and that kind of feeling only cos when you like soone. Since that’s the case, I agree to help you, but you must disguise yourself so that nobody can recognize you," she said.
Yamaguchi Momoe spoke, her gaze becoming slightly dim, a shade of loneliness passing through the depths of her pupils.
However, Ye Luo was so preoccupied with worrying about Leng Ruobing at the mont that he didn’t notice the change in Yamaguchi Momoe’s expression.
Afterward, Ye Luo got in touch with Mingyue, who was incredibly excited upon hearing his voice.
"You scoundrel, I just knew you were okay. Where are you? And what about Deputy Team Leader Leng?" Mingyue bombarded him with questions.
"She’s been captured. I’m about to rescue her. You go ahead and take Dragon Head out of the Island Country," Ye Luo instructed.
"No way, I’ve already had other agents from the Bureau escort Dragon Head away. I have to wait for both of you to leave together," Mingyue said with a tone of absolute determination, unmoved by Ye Luo’s persuasion, which ultimately left him no choice but to let Mingyue arrange so matters.
Ye Luo spent the entire day at the villa where Yamaguchi Momoe lived, without leaving, and the two Saint Realm masters remained hidden in the estate, waiting for Ye Luo to show up.
In the evening, Ye Luo stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror looking at his current appearance and said, "Miss Momoe, the makeup artist you found is really skilled. I can’t even recognize this as ."
Now, Ye Luo had completely transford, taking on the guise of a man in his thirties exuding a mature air.
Dressed in a suit, sporting a pair of sunglasses, he was the very image of a bona fide bodyguard. Unless soone had Clairvoyant Eye like Ye Luo or was particularly familiar with him, they might truly be unable to recognize him.
"It looks good, but I don’t know if it will fool them," Yamaguchi Momoe said as she looked at Ye Luo, her gaze still cautious.
"Don’t worry, even I can’t tell it’s , so they are even less likely to recognize ," Ye Luo said with a smile on his face.
