Ye Wan t Lyca's eyes before he smiled. 'Congratulations, Miss Huang. It's an honor to finally et you."
"et ?" Lyca slowly lifted an eyebrow as she smiled at him. Then she shook his hand. "It seems that the Ye Family had been wanting to et for quite so ti, now?"
Ye Wan only gave her a knowing smile before turning his head towards Xu Ke. "May I know where the President is? I have pressing matters to "
"He had an ergency." Xu Ke answered.
"Ah is it the civil war outside?"
"Civil War?" Lyca looked at Xu Ke, the smile on her face disappeared. "What war?"
"It seems that Miss Huang is not updated with the current events in the country." Ye Wan chuckled. "As of this mont, so militants groups are marching outside of the palace in the capital. There had been news of injured ones. So far, I didn't hear anyone dying. Which is very good?"
"Mr. Ye, the matters in my country, do not concern you. Or did you forget that this is not your Du Empire?"
"It's fine. I was just curious." Lyca smiled. "But a civil war Isn't that an exaggeration? Isn't this just a small protest?"
"A protest? The protests were the problems that had been happening all around the country for the past few months. This the one happening in the palace right now, is not a protest. There had been so stones and smoke bombs being thrown around. It was just tragic."
Lyca squinted her eyes at Xu Ke. "This happened?"
Xu Ke only glared at Ye Wan in response. "That has nothing to do with my wedding. The President is handling it right now!"
Ye Wan responded with a smile before he held the blue tooth headset on his left ear. "Eh? It seems that the President actually declared martial law? Mr. Xu, your uncle is really sothing. Is he really going to declare martial law days before your wedding?"
"You "
"Ah, the President would be very busy. Do you think he would be there on your wedding day?"
Of course, he won't be there! After all, Xu Ke is the President! Right now, Lyca still doesn't have ways to communicate or watch TV. Her weapons had been taken by Xu Ke, including her accessories, where her needles were hidden.
She couldn't really fight him and risk breaking all the trust or whatever it was that she had established so far.
"I have confidence that President Xu could handle all this." Tang Fangi was smiling as if she didn't hear them talk about martial law, stones, and tear gas. "I am certain that the military could handle it. They are always here to protect the country from ignorant individuals."
Seeing that everyone, including Lyca, turned silent from her words, she gave a burst of awkward laughter. "Ah, let's not talk about depressing matters. Why don't we talk about the wedding instead? How was the preparation?" She tried to divert the topic, but Ye Wan wasn't planning on making Xu Ke smile tonight.
"Ah, this reminds . Miss Huang, aside from being a Ye, I am also the representative of the United Countries. I would like to invite you to our "
"Mr. Ye this topis is a little inappropriate of this occasion." Xu Ke gritted his teeth silently. "My bride and I are celebrating our engagent. We can leave all those talks about United Countries for later."
However, Lyca was quick to answer Ye Wan, leaving Xu Ke with no ti to react. "Actually Mr. Ye, if you want to invite . I can accompany you. But you have to do sothing for first."
"Lyca, co on. Can we stop talking about working for the night?" Xu Ke chuckled as he leaned closer towards her ears. "Tang Ruyi is still here, sowhere. You might not care about Tang Fangi, but I heard you and Ruyi had a pretty good relationship. Be a good girl and smile."
"What is it, Miss Huang? What do you want to do?"
Lyca only laughed in response as she got another glass of champagne and gave it to Ye Wan. "A toast to a prosperous marriage full of love and happiness." What she really ant to do was curse this marriage. However, she could only say those insincere words for now.
"Of course." A flash of unfathomable expression flashed in Ye Wan's eyes. "Here's to the couple. May you live happily ever after."
Tang Fangi and Xu Ke joined the toast with huge smiles on their faces.
Not long after, the surrounding people started greeting and congratulating the new 'couple' to her surprise even Old Man Chu personally sent a gift for her engagent. She looked at the bottle of wine that the old man sent. One whiff, and she already knew that sothing was mixed with the alcohol. She pretended not to care about it, so she won't attract Xu Ke's attention, and decided to socialize so she could gather more information about the current events of the country.
Now that she thought about it, Xu Ke already declared martial law. This ant that he was escalating. He wanted the people to revolt and hate the president. He wanted chaos and death.
The next part of his plan should be to cause more chaos and kill as many people as possible under the guise of the militants. This would give him reason to issue so shoot-to-kill orders against the farrs that would harm innocent during their protests.
This would surely infuriate more and more people. She turned towards Xu Ke who was talking to so random doctors that were treating him as if he was so god. Funny how, these people thought, he was so sort of miracle healer, when all he wanted was to sacrifice more people for his stupid dream.
Then her gaze turned towards Ye Wan. He was staring at Xu Ke, his face unfathomable. As if sensing her eyes, he turned to look at her. For a few seconds, she saw relief in his eyes. But he quickly looked away as he finished his wine.
She could only hope that the night would actually end peacefully, without anyone dying. After all, she still needed to finish sothing in that lab.
Sothing that could stop anyone crazy enough to open so portal by sacrificing more people.
