Lei Jing quickly seized the opportunity to speak well of her master but secretly hoped the master and wife could return to their previous state.
Cold Youlan, deeply worried about Lei Tianyi’s safety, said to Lei Jing, “Xiao Jing, give these foods to Youlian and others. We need to go out for dinner.”
Before going to dinner, she planned to send bodyguards to Lei Tianyi’s side.
“Just the two of us?” Wouldn’t that be too few? The madam is pregnant and needs extra care!
“Yes.” She couldn’t completely trust others. She was going to save her sister, and she definitely wouldn’t bring people she didn’t fully trust.
Cold Youlan began preparing for her departure, unaware that more “surprises” awaited her.
[Volume 2: 41]
“Madam, please don’t be angry. Should we go in or not?
Lei Jing looked at the window seat in the restaurant. While she was trying to calm the madam, she herself was furious. Harming the madam so terribly, yet the master was here having a meal with a fox spirit. How infuriating! She had just wanted to help the master, but now it seemed she had meddled unnecessarily.
“Yes! Go in.” Cold Youlan looked at the woman sitting opposite Lei Tianyi, her inner turmoil masked by extreme calmness. If Lei truly had another woman, there must be a reason. She couldn’t resent his heartlessness. She would leave, leave quietly, leave her paradise.
“Sigh!” But before that, she wanted to clarify the true relationship between that woman and Lei Tianyi.
The usually sharp Qi looked around seemingly casually, wondering if these additional people were related to this woman. Lei Tianyi noticed Qi’s behavior and said coldly, “Stop looking. What you need to do now is tell me about my wife’s condition.” He only wanted to know how his girl was doing. As for the others, he would deal with them later. He coldly scanned those secretly monitoring; if his girl weren’t the most important, could these people still be breathing?
Yes,” Qi naturally knew that the master was very worried about his wife now, and he didn’t dare to delay anything!
Liu Manyun didn’t know what the two men were whispering about; she just knew she was safe sitting here.
However, she was also plotting something. She didn’t want to sacrifice herself to fulfill that hateful man!
The three people by the window were all doing what was most important to them, yet they overlooked the person walking towards them.
Leng Youlan looked at the bodyguards behind her and calmly said, “Stay outside and don’t let anyone leave the restaurant.”
“Yes, madam.”
“Xiao Jing, come with me,” she continued.
“Yes, madam.” Lei Jing followed her into the restaurant.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, “Madam, why won’t you let anyone leave the restaurant?”
“Just a feeling,” she replied, relying on her years of sensitivity to danger, sensing a strange atmosphere in the restaurant.
Her disguise didn’t attract the attention of patrons. She and Lei Jing slowly walked to the window-side position.
Leng Youlan glanced at the remaining seats at the table, thinking about where to sit appropriately.
After a second of contemplation, she sat next to Liu Manyun.
First, Qi was standing next to Lei Tianyi. Lei Tianyi knew someone had sat down opposite him, but he had no mind for it now, waiting to deal with it later.
Qi, responsible for his master’s safety, naturally cared about who had just sat down. He looked up at the woman who had just sat down, and when he recognized her, he naturally wanted to greet her. But her sharp gaze made the words he was about to say get stuck in his throat.
He now wondered if his master was about to be in trouble. He glared fiercely at the woman who was still clueless. Would this wave of trouble escalate?
“Hey, miss, who are you? Why are you sitting next to me!” Liu Manyun looked at the woman beside her, asking suspiciously.
“What do you think?” Leng Youlan glanced at the woman beside her, speaking calmly. She realized she had already understood a lot from the woman’s expression.
“Huh?” Liu Manyun only then realized she had accidentally spoken her thoughts out loud. She said more quietly, “Looking at those people at the entrance, it must be true.”
An proud smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Leng Youlan’s bright eyes flashed with a playful look. “So sure?”
“Of course! My observation skills are amazing.” How could she let her rare moment of intelligence be questioned?
At this moment, Liu Manyun completely saw the woman beside her as a fellow unfortunate victim.
She moved closer to Leng Youlan and whispered, “Do you want to escape?”
“Escape?” This woman was truly naive. Did she think escaping was so easy? The people who brought her wouldn’t let her go, and more importantly, Lei Tianyi wouldn’t let her go easily.
“Yes, exactly! How about it? Want to escape together?”
“Do you have a way?” She didn’t mind hearing her plan, preferably a good one.
“Well, not yet, but we can think together. Two people’s power is always greater than one, right?”
Glaring angrily at those monitoring her, hmph!
Leng Youlan noticed the woman’s behavior and casually said, “Why escape? Don’t you find the man opposite attractive?”
She thought there couldn’t be a more handsome man in the world.
She had only seen women crowding around Yi, but had never seen anyone wanting to escape.
Liu Manyun looked at the handsome man opposite her. She admitted she had never seen such a beautiful man, but her heart was full of that hateful man. She didn’t believe she could fall in love with another man.
“But I, I…” she stammered, angry at herself. That hateful man was going to marry another woman and sacrifice her, so why did she still love him?
“You have someone you like, right?” Perhaps this woman beside her could be of some use.
“Yes.” Although Liu Manyun hated her love for that hateful man, she still nodded softly.
“Okay! Shall we escape together?”
“Really!” Liu Manyun looked as happy as if she had received an unexpected candy, and immediately asked, “Do you have a plan?”
“Mm.” Leng Youlan gently nodded and said, “But I might have to inconvenience you a bit?”
“It’s fine, as long as we can escape.”
Just as Liu Manyun finished speaking, two crisp slaps landed on her tender white cheeks, one on each side.
The sharp, loud slapping sound drew everyone’s attention, and they all looked toward the source of the noise.
In that instant, Qi quickly looked toward Leng Youlan.
The madam had come without reporting to him, which was already a mistake. If the madam suffered any grievance because of this, he would be in an even more miserable situation.
“Ah!” When he saw that the one being slapped was not his own madam, Qi let out a long sigh in his heart and unconsciously looked toward his master.
Lei Tianyi could no longer ignore the person opposite him. His deep, dark eyes emitted a cold light. He slowly raised his head, wanting to know what tricks the woman was playing.
When he saw his girl, Lei Tianyi was first slightly stunned, then immediately revealed a playful look. He quietly watched the two women opposite him, curious about what unexpected thing his girl was going to do this time.
Successfully gaining Lei Tianyi’s attention, Leng Youlan coldly said to Liu Manyun, “Do you know that this is not a place just anyone can act in?”
“You, you…” Slapped dizzy, Liu Manyun looked at the ice-cold Leng Youlan and suddenly felt this woman was similar to the man opposite her – both were chillingly intimidating.
A satisfied look flashed through her lively eyes. Good, this was the effect she wanted.
Leng Youlan continued coldly, “Immediately leave with me. I think we need to have a good talk.”
The threatening tone in Leng Youlan’s cold words made the restaurant guests break out in a cold sweat for Liu Manyun.
