After breakfast, Liu Tianyun and Zhang Huimin went off to work.
Ye Huan briefly showed Lingshuang around the villa to get her familiar with the environnt, helped her pick a decent room, then went downstairs.
As soon as he reached the first floor, Jiang Shishuang gritted her teeth, grabbed his ear, and questioned him, "Ye Huan, what's going on with you? What exactly do you want? Why do you always bring pretty won ho whenever you get the chance? First it was , then Shen Taoyuan and Xiaoyuan, and now it's Lingshuang. Don't tell you actually want to be like those emperors of old and marry three thousand beauties into your harem!"
"Heaven and earth are my witnesses, you're overthinking it. I have no such intention whatsoever!"
Ye Huan vehently defended himself, secretly relieved, thinking to himself that finally one of his little wives was reacting normally.
"You'd better not have that idea, or I won't let you off the hook!"
Jiang Shishuang's jaw itched with jealousy, and she glared at Ye Huan with a face full of jealousy and redness, "From now until the baby is born, I'll be watching your every move, telling you, if you do anything out of line with them, I'll be very angry!"
"Don't worry, it absolutely won't happen. The most I'll do is help her heal, as for anything else? It's out of the question!" Ye Huan didn't even think before fervently reassured her.
Actually, he felt he didn't need to promise anything like that.
After all, Brother Huan has road the world for many years, when has he ever ssed around with relationships, does he need to guarantee anything?
Jiang Shishuang raised her delicate eyebrows and was displeased, feeling that Ye Huan was a complete idiot, completely unaware of what she was truly worried about!
Can she not trust Ye Huan's words?
What she's worried about is that Ye Huan's masculine charm is too strong, and in the course of interacting with that woman, he might unknowingly capture her heart.
Then what would happen next is clear as day, that woman would transition from temporarily staying at Tingxiang Pavilion to becoming one of its mistresses!
She, Jiang Shishuang, after all, is the biggest "victim" of Ye Huan's masculine charm!
Initially, she had the mindset that there's always so pesky commoner wanting to woo her, so she guarded against Ye Huan and frequently warned him that he'd never charm her, telling him to give up.
The result? Before she knew it, her heart was stolen by Ye Huan, and she fell hopelessly deep into feelings for him!
Jiang Shishuang thinks that if she turned out this way, then other won are even more defenseless against Ye Huan's masculine charm!
If Ye Huan keeps bringing won to live in Tingxiang Pavilion, it could end up with countless mistresses, turning chaotic.
By then, Tingxiang Pavilion would definitely feature a palace drama every day, which is detrintal to the baby's growth!
Jiang Shishuang gently rubbed her belly, her gaze firm, no matter what, for the baby, as long as she's in Tingxiang Pavilion, she must keep Ye Huan in check!
This man has no idea how strong his attraction to won is!
Thinking this, Jiang Shishuang suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked, "Looking for you?"
"Seems so." Ye Huan leaned back against the sofa, lazily saying, "I say, are you always hiding like a mouse, what's the point?"
No sooner had Ye Huan finished speaking than a black figure suddenly flashed out.
A man clad in a black robe, emblazoned with a sword emblem on the shoulder, wearing a golden dragon mask, appeared in front of Ye Huan, casually clasped his fists, then coldly asked Ye Huan, "Young Sect Leader, I have urgent matters to discuss, is now convenient?"
Ye Huan replied in a cool tone, "Quit beating around the bush, spit it out."
Di Yuntian didn't speak directly, but first glanced at Jiang Shishuang.
"Lurking around the villa these days without leaving for a second really 'troubled' you. Luckily, while ambushing, you didn't step a foot into Tingxiang Pavilion's courtyard, otherwise you'd already be in Hell." Jiang Shishuang sneered, stood up, and went upstairs.
Being spoken to like that by a woman made Di Yuntian simr with anger, his face turning steely beneath the mask, but he held back, took a deep breath to suppress his ire, and then extended his right hand before Ye Huan, using an almost commanding tone, "Young Sect Leader, give your phone, I need to see your call logs!"
Ye Huan chuckled mockingly, "Di Yuntian, do you think your words matter much to , or do you feel you've lived too long and are tired of it?"
"Young Sect Leader, I'm here on behalf of the Patriarch, Di Lunhui, I need to check your call logs to see if you've been in contact with the Empress recently, and counselled her not to return ho. Of course, you don't have to show the logs, provided you reveal the Empress's exact hiding place!"
The Empress?
Upon hearing this, Ye Huan frowned, realizing now that Di Yuntian thinks that the Empress, having been wronged and fled ho, must have co to Tingxiang Pavilion, which is why he's been lurking around the villa.
But all these days have passed, and the Empress hasn't co to Tingxiang Pavilion.
Ye Huan was puzzled, what on earth is going on?
Seeing his confusion, Di Yuntian grew even more annoyed.
"Ye Huan, quit pretending to be clueless, don't think I don't know. When I first ca and inford you about the Empress's situation, seeking your help, you turned around and called the Empress to warn her, telling her I'm lurking here, and to spitefully defy my family, hid her sowhere secret!"
"Now I'll tell you straight, the Empress is extrely important to my family and the Dragon Gate!"
"We urgently need her back in the Dragon Gate, you'd better hand her over soon!"
"The Patriarch has instructed to tell you that our family and the Dragon Gate will give you a week to consider, you must hand over the Empress within a week, or our family and the Dragon Gate will stop at nothing to wage all-out war on you!"
"You better weigh it carefully, see if you can bear the consequences!"
"Once you've thought it through, contact !"
Di Yuntian's speech was laced with threats and murderously intense, his tone extrely low!
Having issued the ultimatum to Ye Huan, he swished his sleeve and vanished without a trace!
Ye Huan didn't pay any heed to his threats, even if the Di Family does declare war, so what?
Having lived this long, there's truly no one he's afraid of!
However, there's a pressing issue now, which is, where exactly has the Empress gone?
Logically speaking, she was wronged, fled ho, ca to the Capital City to find him, she should've arrived by now.
Thinking of this, Ye Huan grew worried, took out his phone and called the Empress.
A quarter of an hour passed, his heart sank deeper, as an even more unsettling developnt unfolded!
He called the Empress over ten tis, yet the Empress seed to have vanished, all the calls ended with her phone being turned off, prompting him to try again later!
Could sothing have happened?
Ye Huan's face grew stern, his expression extrely grim.
Just then, his phone rang!
