Chapter 877: Prepare yourself. We are Returning Home right away
“I can understand that he chose a time and place that is still dark and quiet. I’d find it stranger if he decides to meet me in broad daylight.”
Li Wanjun sighed in relief, but was still skeptical, “Country Ruan and Country Summer are like oil and water. Emperor Yin is also your enemy. If he found out you went on his turf, there would be no way he’d let you come out. Where you are going is close to the palace… what if something bad happens?”
Ruan Ming said, “Our trip is happening in secret. There is a very low chance of him discovering me. Plus, I’m not going alone. There’s Luo Aiqing and all of our royal guards.”
“Plus, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the God of Gun. This may be our only chance for revenge. I cannot back out because I am scared of the possibility of something bad happening.”
“On top of that, I will need to visit the Country of Summer soon in the future anyway. What does it say about me if I get scared off now?”
He walked over to Luo Chen and patted his head, “Good son, I am going to leave the country for a bit. I will come back bearing gifts.”
Luo Chen was uncomfortable, but he didn’t dodge this. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Ruan Ming.
He tried and tried but he couldn’t say the word “dad”. In the end, he settled for, “Can I come with you?”
“No!”
“No!”
“No!”
Ruan Ming, his wife, and Luo Xingqian all shouted in unison.
After the shouting died down, Ruan Ming and his wife eyed the overly emotional Luo Xingqian.
Luo Huai’an gently coughed. From the couple’s blind spot, he shot Luo Xingqian a violent look.
Luo Xingqian then lowered his head and apologized, “Please forgive me. I didn’t mean to step on your toes there. I’m simply used to treating him like a brother. Back in the Capital Country, I had to protect him in order to keep him safe. It’s only been a few days since we returned, and I haven’t gotten used to my new role. This won’t happen again.”
Li Wanjun smiled kindly, “We overreacted. It’s great that you are treating Luo Chen as family. Luo Chen is our only child and he doesn’t have any other siblings to play with.”
“He isn’t comfortable with us yet. Luo Xingqian, if you have the time, I hope you can visit him often.”
Luo Chen, “…”
Luo Xingqian’s lips curled up, “I will, my Empress.”
Luo Chen, “…”
He was wrong. His biological mother was definitely not his real mother.
Ruan Ming didn’t seem to notice anything unusual and was instead touched by these two’s brotherhood.
After he put things in order, Ruan Ming took Luo Huai’an and their subordinates to the plane to travel to the Country of Summer.
At the same time, Quan Zexi was speaking to an international ambassador in the international alliance building when Zhao Sizhan walked over.
Quan Zexi gestured for the international ambassador to excuse him for a second as he turned to whisper to Zhao Sizhan, “Can’t you see I’m busy.”
“But, Duke, this is important.” He then leaned in and whispered something in secret.
The laziness on Quan Zexi’s face evaporated as well. He stopped crossing his legs and sat up straight.
The ambassador beside him couldn’t help but ask, “Duke, did something happen?”
“Yes, something sure did.” Quan Zexi stood up, “Mr. Boer Shilin, I have something urgent to deal with. Let’s end our meeting today. I’ll call you and set up a meeting for another day.”
“If you’re busy, then please go ahead. No need to be so polite. I look forward to our next meeting.” This person was obvious easy to talk to.
Quan Zexi raised his head and led Zhao Sizhan out of the building.. As they walked, he asked, “Is your information accurate?”
