In the Old Jiang Mansion, Xingyu reclined on the headboard of his bed as he spoke to Han Xichen, while Luna rested her head on his abdon. She was not listening to his call but noticed that when he finished speaking, he looked distressed.
"Honey, is sothing wrong?" She tilted her head to ask as she looked up at him.
"Han Xichen asked to be careful and especially put more security asures around you." Xingyu sounded confused as he explained.
"Do you know what could be wrong?He was too busy to tell ." He explained, not being able to comprehend why his friend would suddenly alert him. Was there soone following Luna perhaps? He still couldn’t get over the fact that she was almost shot by the people hired by her father not too long ago.
"Perhaps it has sothing to do with Xiaoshi." Luna couldn’t think of anything else. The people who were against her were already dead, and Xiaoshi’s father was the only remaining one who still disliked her for ’stealing away his precious daughter’s man.’
When Xingyu heard her hypothesis, he frowned. "Why am I starting to feel that she is quite troubleso?"
"She is not trying to co between us." Luna shrugged, though she couldn’t deny that Old Yun’s hatred did indeed start because of Xiaoshi’s feelings towards Xingyu. However, she also couldn’t neglect the fact that Xiaoshi knew her place and had been avoiding starting a scuffle with them.
Xingyu knew this too, but he was still displeased. "Perhaps she isn’t trying to bother us but her father is. And that’s the worst kind of bother. We don’t need anyone ddling in our lives, do we?"
"Actually, we don’t." She snuggled onto his chest as he slid his hand to rub over her belly.
"I don’t want anyone disrupting our family. I will give him a piece of my mind the next ti I see him."
"But for now, we can only be careful." He added as he poked her belly as though trying to find out how the babies were doing.
"Why do you look tense?" He asked when he realized that she was no longer reacting to his words and seed to be lost in her own world.
"It’s my sister." She sighed.
"What about her?" Xingyu so badly wanted to beat Lanni up for making his fiancée worried again.
"She is once again doing what she is best at—putting her life in danger. She is following soone dangerous." Luna explained while looking up at him.
"Now, that is dangerous. I bet Xiehan doesn’t know, or else he would never allow it." He stated conclusively, since he knew that his friend was too protective of his little beauty.
"I bet Lin Jian gave her the task." Luna guessed, knowing that Lanni had stopped doing such dangerous things and would only do it if she was under soone else’s instructions.
"He is asking for a good beating." Xingyu laughed, imagining how hard Xiehan would beat Lin Jian if he found out what his girlfriend was being instructed to do.
...
Lin Jian was having dinner with Ruby when he sneezed thrice in a row. He frowned. "Soone’s cursing ."
Ruby, who was sitting opposite him, rolled her eyes at him. "You believe that? Who would want to curse you? It’s such a waste of curses." She then went back to cutting her steak.
"Do you have sothing against ?" Asked Lin Jian, realizing that Ruby had not been particularly happy this evening.
As soon as he finished speaking, his heart sank as he suddenly thiught of a possibility. "Love, did I do sothing to upset you?"
"No, you didn’t." She shook her head exhaustedly.
He was relieved for a mont, but he couldn’t stand the thought that soone might have upset his girlfriend so he asked, "Then why are you so mad?"
"I’m just mad at my brother." She explained with a frown as she looked up from her plate.
"Trouble in paradise?" He asked with a tease then realized that sothing was wrong with his words. "Wait. That’s for couples. No. No one said trouble in marital or dating paradise. Trouble in sibling paradise?"
Ruby rolled her eyes at his dramatics then massaged her forehead as she rested it on her left hand. "He will soon leave the country and go to Claudron Island for an awfully long ti."
Lin Jian realized what was happening and rembered that it was almost ti for Xiehan to take over Feng Ji International. It was inevitable. "That’s okay." He took her hand and caressed it comfortingly. "He will be back in no ti. Not just CEOs from the Ji family have to do that, it’s common for Jiang and Lin family’s CEOs too."
She pulled her hand out of his in shock. "Wait. You don’t an what I think you an!"
"Of course not." He laughed at her huge reaction and deep in his heart, he was happy that she was reluctant for him to leave. "Don’t worry, my love. I will be right here with you." He had already gone to Claudron Island when it was his turn, and there wasn’t any huge difference for him since he didn’t have a girlfriend at the ti—and there were female CEOs in training on the island. Of course he couldn’t breathe a word of his stay at the island or that would wreck his relationship with Ruby, which was only starting to bloom.
"Thank you. At least you are not leaving." She breathed out an audible sigh. It would have been awful for both him and Xiehan to leave at the sa ti.
...
The next day, the team gathered in Lanni’s office.
"Are you ready?" Lanni asked them as she sighed away her nervousness.
"Readier than ever." Stated the long-haired woman.
Lanni ran her gaze over them and they looked ready for action. "Okay. Is it okay to change into casual attire? Because we...." She was in the middle of explaining her request when the long haired woman shrugged off her work coat to reveal a casual blouse, and the others followed suit. It was only then that Lanni noticed that they were wearing casual clothes and had only draped their work coats on.
"Okay. You’re good to go." She readied herself and grabbed a wig to slide over her head after tying her hair up.
"You already know what to do. After every switch, report your locations to the rest of us." She instructed.
"You are going too?" Asked a young man.
"Yes. I will be the last one to follow her." She explained as she gave them a sheet of paper each, with a picture and car plate number of the car they would be following.
"If it is soone you know, I would advise you against that." A man with brown hair advised.
"Don’t worry. There are different kinds of magic and one of them is this..." Lanni smiled as she took out her makeup tools. She then asked them to wait for her at the underground parking lot and went to the bathroom.
When she joined them, one of the young won was doubtful. "You are Lanni?" If she had not known that Lanni was going to disguise herself, she would never have guessed that it was her.
"Thanks for the complint." Lanni smiled. The young lady’s remark only proved how proficient she was when doing her makeup.
The young n were full of shock too. Was this voluptuous, seductive woman really Lanni?
"What’s with the boobs?" Asked the long-haired woman. She was certain that Lanni’s boobs weren’t this big. Not to ntion, she now had makeup on and her face looked a bit chubbier than it really was, her gray eyes were now blue and her bottom was also much bigger than it was a mont ago.
"You are so good with disguises." She laughed.
"Let’s go." Lanni smiled.
"So, what are you?" Asked a young man as they entered their cars, because he saw Lanni sling a cara on.
"A tourist." She slid a cap over her brown wig.
"What if you disguised yourself as a paparazzi? That’s easier since you know how to act like one." He suggested, to which she shook her head.
"It is, but they will look out for bugs."
"You are so smart. Actually, I have always admired you." He confessed.
"Thank you. I appreciate your hard work. Let’s go."
...
"I took a detour into Dragon Road. They continued on to Falcon Road." The first person to follow Qiao Linyou reported into her phone that was connected to a conference call.
"Is Qiao Linyou in the car?" Lanni asked and sent over a photo for comparison.
"Yes she is." The young woman responded, much to Lanni’s relief.
"Tang, catch up." Lanni instructed, and the man nad Tang proceeded to Falcon Road while the others kept their distance and secretly followed using different routes.
"I caught up." He announced within a few seconds, but about three minutes later, he cursed.
"I lost them."
"You did what?" Lanni’s heart sank.
"I’m sorry boss. I think they suspected . They suddenly sped up and disappeared."
