So the remaining matters should be left to Hui Hui's father to handle. Ye Wan lowered her head and winked at Hui Hui, signaling him not to say any more. Hui Hui pouted and remained silent.
"Dad, I'll take Sister to rest. We're tired. Come find us after you're done dealing with this," Hui Hui said, pulling Ye Wan away.
Guan Yue, however, was frantic. Her decade-long dream had suddenly shattered, and she was on the verge of madness. "Stop! Who are you? Why are you here? Are you here to steal something?"
Guan Yue knew everyone in the palace. She didn't recall anyone named Ye Wan. If she were truly from this place, she couldn't have overlooked someone so beautiful.
Hui Hui was just a child. Hearing Ye Wan accused of stealing, his heart fluttered, and he immediately wanted to lash out. Ye Wan pinched his small fleshy hand and calmly replied, "I am part of the Hua Kingdom's delegation visiting the palace. I know my brother is here, so I specifically asked Hui Hui to bring me to see him. I didn't expect my brother to be in the middle of dealing with... his romantic entanglements."
Ye Wan called him "brother" repeatedly and felt disgusted with herself, getting goosebumps. However, for Hui Hui's sake, she could only endure it.
"It's a rotten entanglement!" Hui Hui added.
Guan Yue was almost angered to death by this boy. She had always known this boy was difficult to handle and disliked him intensely. Now, he was even insulting her in front of others.
"Ying Wuji, I didn't expect you to be such a superficial person. I thought you were different from other men, but you're just a shallow one who judges by looks! What's good about her besides that face? How could she compare to me?" Guan Yue considered herself to be of noble birth with a powerful family background, and she had seen plenty of beautiful women, but she looked down on them.
"Ye Wan's face is beautiful, and it's more beautiful than yours. Standing next to Ye Wan, you look like a maid, la la la." Hui Hui had been bullied by this woman yesterday, and now an opportunity for revenge had arrived. The little fellow immediately seized it, almost making Guan Yue cough up blood.
"Hui Hui!" Ying Wuji stopped his son's antics. He glanced at Ye Wan, who looked composed, and said, "Let's go. It's a good time for me to have a word with you both."
"Ying Wuji! You've actually fallen for this little vixen!" Guan Yue's anger surged, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
"No matter who I fall for, it will never be you! Give up on that idea," Ying Wuji said, then walked towards his son and Ye Wan.
Guan Yue, unwilling to give up, tried to rush forward but was blocked by the bodyguards, preventing her from approaching. She could only watch helplessly as Ying Wuji led Ye Wan and his son away.
The bodyguards also left, leaving her trembling with rage.
Ye Wan didn't want to spend time with Hui Hui's father. Since she had obtained the medicine, she wanted to return immediately and give it to Gu Yun Ting. Unfortunately, she hadn't had time to contact Jin Lan.
"I'm sorry, but I can't go with you. I'm part of the visiting delegation, and I suspect my colleagues are looking for me. I'll just..." Ye Wan said, preparing to leave.
"Oh no, Ye Wan, you can't leave! You haven't met my dad yet. I'll introduce you two," Hui Hui said, tightly gripping her hand. To prevent her from running away, he held her with both hands.
"Ah?" Ye Wan looked at him with surprise. Why would he introduce her to his dad?
She only considered him a friend and didn't want to meet his father.
"Miss Ye, perhaps you have something to tell me," Ying Wuji turned around, his gaze sweeping across Ye Wan's clean and beautiful young face.
