1183 Revelation

“Shameless!”

Song Jingwan was furious to the extreme. She jerked her upper body and tightened her neck. “I won’t say anything, not a single word! Hahahaha, just wait for your death!” She gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot. “You don’t know what’s waiting for you. Do you think that with the Huo Family protecting you, you’ll be safe and sound? Naive!”

Her hands were tied to the operating table as she screamed at the top of her lungs. Then, she fell back heavily.

Song Yaoyao’s eyes were shockingly bright.

!!
“I know. Thank you for telling me.”

Song Jingwan chuckled sinisterly. “Is that so? Don’t try to trick me.”

“The person behind you isn’t Zhong Li, is it?” Song Yaoyao took two steps back and looked at her indifferently. There was a hint of pity in her expression. “You were silenced? Why? What did you take in exchange?”

Song Jingwan’s smile froze on her face, forming a strange and ferocious look.

“Compared to all these, I’m actually not curious about Zhong Li’s real purpose in saving you?”

After saying this, she turned around and left.

Song Jingwan’s nails were firmly embedded in her palm. She could no longer feel any pain. All she could do was stare at Song Yaoyao’s figure until she disappeared.

…

The door opened and Song Yaoyao walked out quickly.

“Go and find out where Song Jingwan was last seen. Investigate each person one by one. I want to know who took her.”

She had a feeling that as long as she found out who took Song Jingwan, everything would be revealed.

She wanted to catch all these people in one fell swoop so that she could rest easy.

Huo Jiu’s expression was solemn. “Yes.”

…

On the observation deck, a girl with a head of curly hair was sitting in a chair with her back facing Song Yaoyao.

From here, one could get a panoramic view of more than half of the manor.

Hearing footsteps, Alice turned around. “Yoyo.”

“I didn’t see you in the room. I knew you would come here.”

Hearing this, Alice smiled with her eyes curved. “You know me very well.”

Her voice was sweet, and her skin was very white, like a top-quality jade. Her appearance was much better than when Song Yaoyao first brought her back.

“I have to thank you for the medicine. You saved me.”

Song Yaoyao looked at her and smiled. There was no need to say anything else.

In the bottle that Song Yaoyao had given Alice, there was a pill that she had developed. Song Yaoyao had simply named it ‘Suspended Animation Pill’. After eating it one would quickly enter a state of suspended animation. Even professional instruments would not be able to detect any signs of life.

Celia’s marriage with Count Lancaster had finally come to an end, and one must never underestimate a woman’s hatred. She resented that Lancaster had lied to her and hurt her daughter.

The Lancasters were currently in chaos. And due to the conflict, they had been torn apart. Various forces had intervened and were waiting for an opportunity to take action.

“It’s time to end it…” Alice sighed.

She looked down with her glazed eyes. A man with broad shoulders and long legs stepped out of a car. He looked very attractive. Alice rarely saw someone with such a unique temperament.

She teased, “Yoyo, your darling is back. Look… he found you!”

Hearing her playful tone, Song Yaoyao leaned over and waved at Huo Yunque, revealing a bright smile.

Huo Yunque smiled and walked into the hall.

Song Yaoyao looked down and could no longer find Huo Yunque. She stood up straight. She did not know when Alice had already stood beside her. She turned her head and quietly said to Song Yaoyao, “Yoyo, I need to go back.”

Song Yaoyao was stunned and then understood what she was saying.

“I want to be with my mother. It’s time for the Lancasters to change hands.”

She was very calm, but she did not tell Song Yaoyao what it would mean if she failed to seize power.

The truth was, both of them already understood it very well.

Song Yaoyao smiled. She looked at Alice and nodded. “Okay.”

Everyone had their own things they wanted to do. It was the same for her and it was the same for Alice. As long as they made their own decision, no one else had the right to interfere.

“We’ll leave tomorrow.”

Alice went up and hugged Song Yaoyao. “You don’t have to send me off.”

…

When Song Yaoyao returned to her room, Huo Yunque had just come out of the bathroom. He was wearing a bathrobe, and a towel was on top of his wet hair. His jawline was soft and clear. Soaked in soft light, there seemed to be a halo around him.

“Do you need some comforting?”

Huo Yunque stopped in his tracks and smiled as he opened his hands towards her.

“I might need some.”

Song Yaoyao followed his advice and walked into his embrace. Her hands tightly wrapped around his skinny waist and she could smell the woody fragrance of his soap.

His heartbeat was steady as Song Yaoyao leaned into his chest. Suddenly, she had a lot to say to this man, “Gege, do you want to know about the dream I had?”

Huo Yunque was silent for a moment.

His long eyelashes were lowered, and his eyes were clear and moist. He was extremely reserved.

After a pause, he opened his mouth and said softly, “If you want to say it, I will be a good listener.”

Song Yaoyao lifted her head from his arms and raised her gaze slightly. She met his reserved but gentle eyes. His eyes were like a vast ocean in the dark night, making people want to drown in them.

“Do you believe in past lives?”

Song Yaoyao felt that it was necessary to start with this question.

Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows, bent down, hooked his arms under her knees, and carried her to sit on the sofa.

Song Yaoyao puffed her cheeks and glared at him. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” She poked his hard chest, which was covered in scars, indicating that his life had not been smooth sailing. “Do you not believe me?”

Her heart ached a little. As she watched, she inexplicably leaned forward and kissed him.

The soft touch made Huo Yunque suck in a breath. He hissed and pinched the back of Song Yaoyao’s neck to keep her away.

“Let’s talk nicely. If you keep getting physical, we will have to talk in bed.”

“Ahem-”

Song Yaoyao’s face was slightly hot. She pursed her lips and stammered, “You still haven’t said that you believe me…”

“As long as it’s you, I’ll believe anything.”

Huo Yunque interrupted her.

…

The story was not long. In the end, the little girl fell asleep in his arms. The soft light shone on Song Yaoyao’s eyelashes, and there was a faint layer of water on them.

She did not realize that when she was talking about this dream, she went from fear to relief. In the end, she cried and fell asleep in Huo Yunque’s arms.

Huo Yunque quietly lowered his eyelashes and held his precious treasure in his arms. He did not stop the pain from spreading to his heart, instead, he pursed his lips and chuckled.

“Have a good dream this time.” A kiss gently landed between Song Yaoyao’s brows.

Song Yaoyao frowned. She felt a little itchy in her dream, but she did not stop him.

This time, she had another dream. This time, it was not a nightmare, but a beautiful dream!
