"Know … know what?" Ji Xiuran smiled aloofly. "You left these people in the Independent State to go to China … That place isn't bad … I was afraid you'd be lonely, so I brought some of your friends from China with me. You're not angry, right?"
Ye Wanwan was startled.
Could it be that Ji Xiuran didn't investigate her identity … and merely investigated where she went and who her friends were?
In that case, Emperor Ji brought the five-member mercenary group to the Independent State merely to relieve her boredom … What kind of godly logic was this?
Of course, Ye Wanwan wasn't stupid. Since Emperor Ji didn't question her identity, Ye Wanwan wouldn't seek trouble for no reason and say something that would expose herself.
"Oh right …" Emperor Ji turned to Ye Wanwan. "Are you very close to the Si family in China?"
"Eh … It's alright. I had some minor interactions with the Si family in China …" Ye Wanwan replied.
"Oh? Just some minor interactions? "Emperor Ji's lips turned up with an inexplicable smile.
"That's right …" Ye Wanwan nodded with certainty.
"It's fine. I was just asking … I heard the patriarch of the Si family went missing … He should be your friend, right? Do you want me to help you find him?"
"Huh … Find him?" Ye Wanwan broke out in a cold sweat.
She freaking wouldn't be able to explain herself if she found him!
"No need … I've already troubled you greatly … I'll look for him myself," Ye Wanwan said with a faint smile, feigning composure.
"I was just joking with you." Ji Xiuran smiled faintly. "The Fearless Alliance has changed since you left. There are more factions now, so you should be able to use the people I brought back to the Independent State. You'd feel more at ease if you had some trusted aides by your side."
"I've really troubled you this time …" Ye Wanwan said to Emperor Ji.
As long as Emperor Ji didn't suspect her identity, everything was negotiable …
"You seem to be nervous every time you see me." Ji Xiuran walked toward Ye Wanwan, the ever-present smile on his lips making her feel like she was bathing in a spring breeze.
However, Ye Wanwan wasn't in the mood to admire such a good-looking man's looks. How could she not be nervous? She was pretending to be Emperor Ji's fiancée. What would happen if she was discovered …?
"I'm your fiancée. Why would I be nervous in front of you?" Ye Wanwan asked with a light chuckle as she gathered her thoughts and met Ji Xiuran's long, narrow, and lively eyes.
"Oh … is that so?" Ji Xiuran asked.
"What else?" Ye Wanwan feigned calmness.
"Hmm … that makes sense." Ji Xiuran nodded. "In that case, I think it's about time for us to get married. What do you think?"
Ye Wanwan: "..."
Wasn't it good to be an unmarried couple? What kind of marriage was that?
"I haven't returned to the Independent State for long … You should know about the Fearless Alliance's situation. There are many things I need to deal with and the Fearless Alliance also needs me to stabilize, so I'll take it easy for now …" Ye Wanwan said calmly, pretending to be contemplative.
Ji Xiuran chuckled. "I was just joking with you. I don't plan on getting married."
Ye Wanwan's eyes brightened.
Ji Xiuran wasn't planning on getting married?!
That'd be freaking great!
If that was the case, she could act more realistically!
"What did you say?!" Ye Wanwan's expression chilled instantly. "You don't plan on getting married? What do you mean? We're fiancées. Do you plan on being my fiancé forever? For the rest of your life? "
It was Ji Xiuran who didn't want to get married. It had nothing to do with her.
