Chapter 25 - Lovesickness.

Until today, his subordinates reported to him that the girl he had been longing for had returned to the Imperial Star.

He could hardly believe his ears; he came rushing over without even changing his clothes.

It can be said that Li Yuan came this time to seek redemption.

Do everything possible to make it up to Wen Meng.

Li Yuan felt a bit flustered.

Wen Meng suddenly laughed,

This smile,

Li Yuan became even more flustered.

Wen Meng's voice was sweet, "Which matter?"

"You mean..."

"Locking me up with a thunderbird in heat, that thing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

You could even hear the sound of a pin drop.

But no pin dropped.

There was a parrot's voice in pure London accent—

"Thanks."

Wen Meng's mind buzzed.

This voice was so familiar to her that it couldn't be more familiar.

However, Li Yuan and Wen Yuan didn't seem to notice.

Li Yuan was dumbfounded on the spot, his mouth glued shut as if with adhesive, unable to utter a single word.

And Wen Yuan scrutinized the man at the other end of the sofa with a bizarre, strange, and perplexed look in her eyes.

Thunderbird? Mating season?

???

He studied business and knew very little about disaster beasts, so he naturally didn't understand these technical terms.

But he instinctively knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

This brat?

Eighty percent chance he bullied his "sister"!

Regardless of whether there is a blood relationship, at least Wen Meng is still a member of the Wen family.

He squinted his eyes and stared at Li Yuan.

Find someone to give this kid a beating.

Wen Meng pretended to turn her head casually, looking in the direction from which the parrot's voice came.

Good heavens!

There was a golden object on the shelf opposite the sofa.

Mini Thunderbird!?

Damn.

Is it pretending to be a decoration to eavesdrop?

After all this time, not a single person has noticed.

The thunderbird saw Wen Meng looking over,

Mouth slightly open, expression lively.

Wen Meng was all too familiar with it; that was the prelude to a flirtatious glance.

She immediately warned with her inner voice.

If you dare touch me, I'll strip all your fur off!!

The thunderbird instantly closed its mouth again, stunned like a wooden chicken.

"I'm sorry."

The man's voice of apology came through,

Li Yuan sincerely, earnestly, and from the bottom of his heart said, "I admit I was really stupid back then. Can you forgive me?"

Although he belittled himself, yet—

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"

Wen Meng glanced at him.

Yes, an apology must be sincere.

Li Yuan searched through his pockets.

Zao Zao.

Li Yuan's face turned pale: "I forgot to bring it."

There was nothing in the clothes; he had rushed over in such a hurry.

If he had worn a different coat, there would at least have been a checkbook inside. He could have torn out a check and let Wen Meng fill it in as she pleased.

Although transferring money via the optical brain is possible now, it doesn't look cool at all!

Moreover, he didn't have much money in his account.

Compensation for emotional distress should start at least in the eight-figure range, right?

He put on a mask of pain, clutching his head with ten fingers.

"Tch."

Wen Yuan saw his expression and directly sneered.

What a faker.

Made it seem like it was real.

A little punk is just a little punk.

The two of them sat down there with no intention of getting up.

Wen Meng thought about it and realized there wasn't much to talk about with them.

Besides, it was almost mealtime, and she still had to prepare food for the little ones.

"How about we call it a day?"

Wen Meng stood up and issued an order to leave.

Uh, am I going to be kicked out?

However, it was just as well; he could immediately start preparing an apology gift for Wen Meng!

Li Yuan pleaded, "Can I have your contact information?"

"Will you leave if I add you?" Wen Meng was really afraid he would stay and not leave.

"Yes!!!" Li Yuan's eyes were resolute.

Sent off Li Yuan.

Wen Yuan remained seated, unmoving.

His relationship with Wen Meng could never be the same as that little punk's relationship with her.

Wen Yuan believed that Wen Meng's words were meant solely for Li Yuan.

I didn't expect..

Wen Meng crossed her arms and looked at him, her face devoid of any extra expression.

"Brother, you should go back too," she said indifferently.

"Will you come back with me?"

Wen Yuan was usually a very perceptive person, but at this moment, even she couldn't make sense of things.

"I said, I'm not going back." Wen Meng's voice changed.

"Mengmeng..." Wen Yuan stood up, "Don't be like this."

Perhaps, she hadn't felt warmth from her family in a long time.

Hug her.

Wen Yuan had just raised her hand when she saw Wen Meng take a step back.

She resisted?

A few cold glints flashed in Wen Yuan's eyes.

If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to the hard one.

Since they had found Wen Meng, they had to take her back.

Her engagement to Huo Xiao was set in stone and couldn't be changed in the slightest; it concerned the very survival of the entire Wen family.

She couldn't afford to throw a tantrum.

Wen Yuan was still contemplating whether to simply knock Wen Meng out

He had no idea that at the moment he harbored malicious intent,

All the disaster beasts sensed this hostility.

If it weren't for Wen Meng forcibly suppressing them,

The nearest thunderbird would strike directly with a bolt of lightning,

Split Wen Yuan in half.

By then, don't even mention his meticulously slicked-back hairstyle; it had turned into a frizzy mess like a startled rooster.

Your life might end right here on the spot.

Wen Yuan's E-level psychic ability was too weak to sense the threat of death at all.

He still thought that the delicate and fragile girl in front of him was the same helpless Wen Meng from back then.

Wen Meng neither wanted this apartment to become a haunted house nor to be endlessly harassed by Wen Yuan

She said, "Brother wants to forcefully take me back, right?"

"Since you put it that way, Wen Yuan won't pretend anymore. 'Yes.'"

"Ah, then you'd have to find a small dark room to lock me up," Wen Meng mused, "or break my legs."

What kind of self-torturing suggestion is she making?

Saying it out loud would ruin the fun.

Wen Yuan's face darkened, "No need."

Though he said otherwise, he thought to himself that it was absolutely necessary.

"If we don't do this..."

Wen Meng, understanding and considerate, said, "If I can run the first time, I can run the second, the third... countless times."

"As long as I still have a breath left in me."

As she spoke, her voice gradually turned icy.

Let's just assume she ran away on her own.

"The planets in the star realm number in the billions..."

"I'll find a remote planet deep in the mountains and forests, and hide there for ten or eight years,"

"Brother, can you guarantee you'll find me next time?"

Wen Yuan: "..."

(Please, stop running, ancestor!)

Directly hitting the pain point.

His heart was filled with bitterness.

What was said is absolutely true, I can't find it, I simply can't find it.

If Wen Meng hadn't come back this time, he would probably still be out there, running around like a headless chicken.

Wen Yuan fell silent.
