"This is what you said, I won't do business at a loss! You have to keep your word, pinky promise!" Hui Hui, with the air of a little adult, extended his little finger.
Ye Wan thanked him with utmost sincerity and, true to her word, also extended her little finger, linking it with Hui Hui's. "Pinky promise!"
"And seal it."
"Seal it."
After they were done, Hui Hui was finally satisfied, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Ye Wan.
Ye Wan felt a prickle of unease under his gaze, even a fleeting illusion of being schemed against by this child.
Well, it must be an illusion. Little Hui Hui was so young, how could he possibly scheme against her?
With the medicine in hand, the two were ready to leave. But as they prepared to go downstairs, someone entered, and it seemed they weren't alone.
Both Ye Wan and Hui Hui were startled. They quickly retreated back into the room, but in their haste, the closing of the door made a sound.
"Who's there!" a voice called from downstairs, a woman's voice at that.
Ying Wuji also looked upstairs. Four people had arrived downstairs; they were there to collect an artifact for an international exhibition.
Guan Yue immediately said to the person behind her, "Quickly go up and check who it is!"
The person following her was about to go upstairs when Ying Wuji's phone suddenly rang. He looked down; it was from his son, begging for his help.
Ying Wuji frowned, blocking the two from going upstairs. "There's no one here. It must have been the wind. I forgot to close the door last time I was here. You two go outside first, I have something to discuss with Miss Guan privately."
Blocked, the two looked at Guan Yue, then respectfully lowered their heads and quickly departed.
As soon as they were gone, Guan Yue's gaze towards Ying Wuji became instantly affectionate. She slowly walked towards the man she had admired for many years, her hand reaching out to his chest. Ying Wuji grabbed her arm, pushed it away, and said coldly, "You know I'm not interested in you. We can't be together!"
...
Upstairs, Hui Hui could already hear his father's voice and recognized the voice of that two-faced, wicked woman, Guan Yue. He immediately looked at Ye Wan and said, "It's time for you to repay me!"
Ye Wan: "???"
"The wicked woman who deliberately angered me is downstairs. She deliberately drove me away, and I suspect she's hoping I'll die out there so she can shamelessly seduce my dad!" Hui Hui said indignantly.
Ye Wan: "..."
Little one, aren't you overthinking this? If she really wanted to marry your dad, she'd surely try to win you over, not try to harm you at this point?
It was likely that the woman hadn't expected Hui Hui to be so clever, thus allowing Hui Hui to see through her schemes.
"What do you need me to do?" Ye Wan asked the little one, her voice trembling. The medicine wasn't taken for free, after all. This child was probably going to give her a difficult task.
"Go down and put on a public display of affection with my dad, infuriate that old woman, and get revenge for me!" Hui Hui looked at her with determination, his small fists clenched, his eyes reddening.
Ye Wan's pupils dilated. This was too difficult!
But looking at Hui Hui's wronged expression, as if he had truly been angered and suffered a great injustice, and remembering what might have happened to Hui Hui yesterday if she hadn't encountered him, what if he had been injured?
Thinking of this, Ye Wan also grew angry and nodded forcefully, "Okay!"
