Youyou ran inside, crying.
Yi Luowa’s head buzzed, and she staggered, almost falling. If Tong Airui hadn’t held her up, she definitely would have suffered a nasty fall.
Tong Airui’s hand trembled slightly, "What’s going on? Speak clearly!"
"I just went back, and there were no adults in the room. When I counted heads, they were missing—those three..."
Yi Luowa grabbed Tong Airui’s arm, "Quickly, go check the surveillance footage. If sothing happened to them, I wouldn’t want to live anymore."
"Don’t panic. They definitely won’t be in danger. I’ll go check the surveillance right now."
"Waaah..." Yi Luowa burst out crying, "Where’s Danton? Why is he so unreliable!"
"Sis, the kids were complaining that they were hungry earlier, so An Yang and I went to get them sothing to eat." Danton and An Yang walked in dejectedly from outside.
Yi Luowa pursed her lips tightly—right now, scolding him wouldn’t be of any use.
"Where are my mom and dad!" Youyou stamped her feet anxiously.
"Your uncle and aunt asked my dad to co for drinks."
"You guys, each one is more unreliable than the last!" Youyou’s tears stread down like raindrops.
"Everyone stop panicking, I’ll go take a look..."
"Mama, Papa~" Zi Xi crawled out from under the bed.
Yi Luowa froze and imdiately ran over to scoop up her son, "Where are your brother and sister?"
Zi Xi pointed under the bed. Before long, Zi Yan and Sang Yu wriggled out too.
Tong Airui grabbed Zi Yan, "What were you guys doing down there?"
Zi Yan blinked his big innocent eyes, "Playing wedding night pranks!"
"I seriously want to spank you!" Tong Airui tossed Zi Yan onto the bed, "Running around recklessly—what if so bad person had caught you?"
Sang Yu pouted and climbed onto the bed, sticking her little tushy in the air. "Hit ! I ca up with the idea."
Tong Airui reached out and smacked her little bottom, "I knew it was your mischievous idea!"
"Do you realize how worried you made everyone with your nonsense?"
"We were wrong!"
"Just realizing your mistake isn’t enough! Go write a reflection later!"
Zi Yan turned to glance at his dad, "I don’t know how to write many words."
"Then draw circles!"
"I want to write too." Zi Xi hugged his mom’s neck tightly, "Mama, I can draw circles too."
Yi Luowa laughed as she pinched his chubby little face. "Look at you! You scared Mama and Aunt to tears."
Zi Xi raised his hand and wiped the tears off his mom’s face, "I was wrong. I won’t do it again."
"Ah..."
Tong Airui furrowed his brows, "Put him on the bed too."
"What are you planning on doing? They already know they were wrong."
"Make them kneel on the bed. I’ll go let everyone know they don’t need to worry."
Danton gave his brother-in-law a pitiful look, "Brother-in-law, let go instead. I’m afraid others won’t believe . How about I take these three with ..."
"Stay where you are!" Tong Airui glared at him and quickly left the room.
"Sis, I’ll make sure to keep a close eye on them next ti."
Yi Luowa poked his forehead lightly, "You’re sothing else! Letting three little ones trick you!"
"I just felt bad for them—they said they were hungry, and I didn’t think too much about it. Sis, let quickly take them away now, or when Brother-in-law gets back, he’ll surely scold them!"
Youyou scooped up Zi Xi from Yi Luowa’s arms and said to Danton, "What’s there to discuss? Hurry up and take the other two away."
Danton and An Yang hurriedly picked up the two children and ran off as if snatching them.
Yi Luowa shook her head helplessly—what a rollercoaster. She was lucky her heart was in good health.
Yi Luowa tilted over onto the bed. In all her years, this was the first ti she felt this exhausted. But exhaustion aside, today was still the happiest day of her life.
Tong Airui quickly returned and saw that his wife was the only one left in the room. He smiled faintly, "Those three little troublemakers are gone?"
"Isn’t that just what you wanted!"
Tong Airui chuckled as he sat down, pulling her foot over and gently massaging it. "Nothing gets past you!"
"With your petty sches!" Yi Luowa tried to pull her foot away. "I haven’t showered yet. My feet don’t stink, do they?"
"They’ve got quite the sll!" Tong Airui laughed and dragged her foot back. "Tired out?"
"Yeah, I’m beat. Don’t expect to wait on you tonight."
"I’ll wait on you. I’ll make sure you don’t have to move a finger."
"Then I’m not going to entertain you either."
"You wouldn’t dare! This is our wedding night!"
Yi Luowa pouted, "Our wedding night already happened ages ago."
"It’s not the sa!"
"In and out the sa room—what’s so different... Hey, don’t tickle !"
"That’ll teach you to talk nonsense!"
"Husband, your phone is ringing."
"It’s not ringing!"
"It is!"
"Beep beep..." Tong Airui’s phone actually did start ringing.
Tong Airui took out his phone and glanced at it. "Wife, you go ahead and sleep. I’ll go check this out."
"Who’s calling?" Yi Luowa suddenly sat upright.
"Your senior classmate. He’s doing it on purpose, trying to ruin our wedding night."
Yi Luowa pouted, "Then answer it!"
"It stopped ringing. I’ll go take a look. If he tries ssing around with , I’ll feed him to the sharks in the ocean!"
"Be nice to my senior!" Yi Luowa turned over in bed. "Husband, co back soon. I can’t fall asleep without you."
"You were desperate for to leave earlier, and now you’re in a rush for to co back. I still haven’t figured out—between and your senior, who’s more important to you."
"If we’re talking size, you’re heavier."
"Hmm?"
"But even setting size aside, you’re the most important!" Yi Luowa laughed, giving him a little push. "Go on, don’t delay things."
Tong Airui bent down and kissed her on the cheek. "I’ll get it done quickly and co back soon."
"Go ahead."
Tong Airui left the room quickly and saw Just standing not far from the room. He frowned and approached him. "Interrupting my wedding night—are you feeling particularly smug?"
Just laughed, "You’re a father of three now—does this one night still matter?"
Tong Airui gave him a sidelong glance. "Why wouldn’t it matter?"
"Let ask you—are we doing it tonight or not?"
"Why are you more anxious than !" Tong Airui checked the ti, "I thought we agreed to—"
Just made a silencing gesture. Not far away, footsteps approached, and both of them turned to look.
Baili Zijin walked over slowly. Seeing the two of them, she hesitated, "Duke Airui, you still haven’t gone to bed?"
Tong Airui furrowed his brows slightly. "I thought your room was on a different floor."
"I ca to report so work," Baili Zijin pointed toward Tong Aino’s room.
Tong Airui glanced at his brother’s room. "Whatever the matter is, report it tomorrow."
Baili Zijin hesitated for a mont. "It’s sothing important. If I don’t address it tonight, I fear the business will get snatched away."
Tong Airui frowned and gave Just a look. The two of them headed down to the lower deck one after the other.
After they left, Baili Zijin adjusted her outfit and lightly knocked on the door.
Tong Aino promptly opened the door and looked a bit startled to see her standing outside. "Is there sothing you need this late at night?"
"President, I just saw Joel from Haotian drinking with Mr. Wu. Since we haven’t finalized our business deal with Mr. Wu, if Joel manages to sway him, our losses could be significant."
Tong Aino paused in thought and turned back into the room.
"Heading out?" Connie looked up at him.
"Yeah, I’ll go take a look. I’ll be back soon. You go ahead and sleep." Tong Aino grabbed his coat and stepped out the door.
Yi Luowa, worried about the children, changed her clothes and stepped out. Seeing Tong Aino and Baili Zijin rushing toward the deck, she frowned slightly.
Yi Luowa walked a few steps toward the kids’ room but hesitated and stopped.
Tong Aino and Baili Zijin arrived at the deck, where quite a few people were drinking and enjoying the sea breeze.
Tong Aino scanned the area but saw no sign of Mr. Wu. "Where is he?"
Baili Zijin pointed to the left side of the deck. "I saw him over there."
Tong Aino followed her gaze. "You go back. I’ll handle it myself."
Baili Zijin nodded, "Then I’ll head back."
Tong Aino slowly walked toward the left side of the deck. He didn’t see Joel but spotted Mr. Wu sipping red wine alone.
"Mr. Wu, still not resting at this late hour?" Tong Aino grabbed a glass of red wine from a waiter and walked quickly over to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu chuckled, "At my age, I don’t sleep much. Lying in bed is less satisfying than coming out to enjoy the sea breeze."
Tong Aino slid one hand into his pocket, smiling. "Actually, enjoying the sea breeze isn’t bad—it at least keeps the mind sharp."
Mr. Wu nodded with a smile. "You’re absolutely right. In business, we should always keep a clear head."
With those words, Mr. Wu started walking slowly toward the back of the ship.
Tong Aino hesitated, glanced behind him, and then followed Mr. Wu toward the ship’s stern.
