When was it that a promise from her was actually more valuable than Yu Yuehanâs?
Has something gone wrong with the King of Hellâs brain?
Nian Xiaomuâs animated eyes were blinking repeatedly as she looked rather cluelessly towards Qi Yan.
Qi Yan had his eyes narrowed as well as he sized her up.
Scenes of Tan Bengbeng calling out her name flashed in his head.
That call of âXiao Mumuâ really made him go crazy!
He had sent his men to search, but for a long time, there had been no news of this âXiao Mumuâ. Never would he have expected that this person would appear in front of him to ask him for a favor.
It looked as if even the heavens were on his sideâ¦
âReporting!â Nian Xiaomu raised an arm and started questioning like a little student as she glanced at Qi Yan.
âCan I ask you a question?â
âYou can. But, in exchange, you must answer a question from me too,â Qi Yan responded smoothly.
Nian Xiaomu instantly sat upright on the sofa and pointed a finger at herself.
âHave I really heard correctly just now? You want me to promise you one condition, and youâll be willing to save Tang Yuansi?â
âYes. I canât guarantee that Iâll be able to save him, but Iâll definitely try my best.â
Once Qi Yanâs words landed, he immediately asked, âWho are your most important female friends?â
Nian Xiaomu answered, âShangxin, Zheng Yan.â
She suddenly thought of something and looked down, her gaze rather forlorn as she added softly, âThe most important should probably be Bengbeng. But, sheâs gone missingâ¦â
Hearing the two words âBengbengâ, there was an obvious change in Qi Yanâs gaze.
It seemed to reveal a flicker of joy but it went by in a flash.
The change was too quick that even Yu Yuehan had not managed to notice it.
The name âTan Bengbengâ was so strange that Qi Yan could not possibly know someone else with the same name.
If Nian Xiaomu was the âXiao Mumuâ they were looking for, then he had to get a promise from her by any means!
Hearing him ask her such a peculiar question, Nian Xiaomu wanted to ask the reason for his question, but since the chance to question was too precious, she suppressed the urge.
So she asked, âWhy me? I must remind you, I have no money. My last bit of wealth has been taken away by Yu Yuehan and Iâm awfully poor. Also, I love my fiancé very much. I wonât fall for anyone whoâs not as handsome as him⦠Although youâre only a little less handsome compared to him.â
Am I getting cuckolded openly? Thought Yu Yuehan.
On the other hand, Qi Yan was thinking: By being so obvious that he was not as handsome as Yu Yuehan, does this woman not want to save Tang Yuansi anymore?
Qi Yan collected his gaze and muttered nonchalantly, âBecause you have some value. Of course, you donât have to be so eager to answer me. Iâll give you all a day to consider. At this time tomorrow, Iâll be waiting on the cruiser for an answer.â
âDream on!â
Once Qi Yanâs words had landed and Nian Xiaomu wanted to say something else, Yu Yuehanâs face had darkened thoroughly and he had dragged her and Shangxin away.
When they had reached the deck, Nian Xiaomu stopped and muttered, âYu Yuehan, let go of me. Youâre hurting me with your grasp!â
Hearing her words, Yu Yuehan instantly let go of her arm and he then pulled her in front of him again.
In a lower voice, he ordered, âIâll think of another way to save Tang Yuansi, but youâre not to agree to the King of Hellâs condition. Do you hear me?!â
âI didnât say I was going to agree to it. I onlyâ¦â Nian Xiaomu was going to add something else, but at the thought that they were on the King of Hellâs cruiser now, she turned her head to check if anyone was nearby.
Seeing that there were no bodyguards around them, she was still contemplating deeply when they suddenly heard the commotion of a fight coming from the other side of the deck.
