Chapter 214

Sixty-Ninth Page Yiji Story Time

[19:40]

Although we caused quite a stir, Lin Yuhuang didn’t blame us much and even allowed us to return to the hall for a buffet dinner.

Though Lin Yuhuang and Lin Ziyeh were away for a while, the coming-of-age ceremony wasn’t affected too much. However, Lin Shu and Ling Shaojie left directly from the side hall — she still had significant objections to the “traditions” of the Lin family. This time, she came out of fear that Lin Yuhuang might harm Ling Shaojie. With everything resolved now, there was no need to return to the hall to see the elders’ sour faces.

“Hic—”

The fool belched long and loud.

Her tuxedo couldn’t contain her protruding belly, so she had to unbutton the front, losing all semblance of decorum.

“Even though I want to eat more, I can’t.”

Linhua couldn’t help but choke on her words: “Are you a ghost reincarnated as a glutton? Eating so much, don’t you fear throwing up? It’s embarrassing just sitting at the same table as you.”

“A buffet, isn’t the goal to eat to your heart’s content?”

“You didn’t pay.”

Although the fool said this nonchalantly, most guests in the hall weren’t paying much attention to eating.

Socializing and meeting more high-ranking officials was their main purpose. Therefore, our table of kids didn’t attract much notice, only a few adults who knew Linhua came over to greet us.

“Hey, how did your business go?”

Seeing the party winding down, Sister Miamao gracefully held a wine glass and came halfway up the hall to find us.

Her cup contained what seemed to be red wine.

“It’s all settled. Where are Sister Qian and the others?” I asked in return.

“Oh, you’re so concerned about Xiao Lěi?”

Sister Miamao sat down at the empty seat at our four-person table, resting her chin in her hand. “Xiao Lěi has terrible alcohol tolerance; even a sip makes her drunk… Right now, she’s swaying and leaning on the table, but based on my understanding of her, she might start acting out of control later. So Sister Shan is keeping an eye on her to prevent anything rash.”

Ah, Sister Qian seems to have such a setup.

Doesn’t being unable to drink mean she shouldn’t drink at all?

The yellow-dressed idol girl, with her chin in her hands, curiously asked, “Where is Ling Shaojie? And what exactly is her identity? Is she Lin Yuhuang’s biological daughter or his illegitimate child?”

“She left with Lin Shu. As for her relationship with Lin Yuhuang… it’s complicated.”

Sister Miamao complained, “No matter how complicated, you still have to tell us!”

Having spent time with Sister Qian, Sister Miamao had also become quite gossipy.

Though it was Lin Yuhuang’s secret, I thought for a moment and decided to tell Sister Miamao. After all, they had been “concerned” about this matter for a long time and weren’t the type to spread rumors everywhere.

—”You’re ready to spill it, aren’t you? You seem like a gossip monger.”—

Even though Sister Cherry Sauce criticized me, I still said, “Actually, Lin Shu’s ex-wife is his own doppelganger, just like Xiao Lěi and Zhao Zhao, and my relationship with Sister Cherry Sauce.”

And Big Brother Zhu and my mother are the same. I added in my mind.

Sister Miamao looked surprised.

“Wow! Marrying oneself? That must be true love!”

I regretfully shrugged.

“No, probably because they know each other too well, making it hard to act… Ling Xiaojie is the child of Ling Ximí and an unknown man, while Lin Ziyeh is the child of Lin Shu’s current wife. Back then, their relationship was romantic in public, and when the elders found out about Ling Ximí’s pregnancy, they forced them to get married.”

“That Ling Ximí is too playful, resulting in getting pregnant outside marriage. Because it’s not her child, Chairman Lin had to marry his doppelganger?”

It took Sister Miamao a while to understand the complex relationships, sighing, “Oh, the Lin family is too chaotic.”

Actually, my family is even more chaotic, but I won’t say…

Linhua asked, “Is Sister Miamao here just to gossip?”

“That’s just a side thing. Mom asked me to check if you want a ride back.”

“Of course!”

——————–

To fit everyone, the back seats of the business car were laid flat to create one space, but without Ling Shaojie, it was overloaded by only one person. Plus, Sister Shan and Sister Leiluo were small, so it didn’t feel crowded.

But…

“Sis Shan~ my dear sister~ let me see if you’ve developed healthily.”

Drunk Xiao Lěi pressed herself against Sister Shan, saying lewd things. The latter couldn’t resist and sought help from those around her, but…

“Sister Leiluo doesn’t look healthy either! Let me check too.”

The person next to her was Sister Leiluo, and to the current drunk Xiao Lěi, she was just another piece of meat.

“Don’t come near me, Sis Shan!!”

Xiao Lěi next to Sister Leiluo barely moved her hips, slightly distancing herself.

Sister Yuan Yue paid no heed to everything and merely turned back, saying, “Are you sure you don’t want to go back? Then I’ll take you to the low-rent apartment.”

“It’s fine, we’ll go back ourselves later. At worst, Sister Cherry Sauce can open a portal again.”

Sister Cherry Sauce directly cursed from inside me: “Hey! Don’t use me as a tool, exhausting yourself like that! Be careful you end up naked!”

There were two purposes for going to the low-rent apartment.

First, to check on AJ and Yiji.

Second, to talk to Sister Zi about the search plan for the mysterious girl A.

These two tasks were carried out simultaneously. Once close, Sister Cherry Sauce would establish temporary telepathic communication between me and Sister Zi, ensuring our plans wouldn’t be detected by our mother. Everything would be done beyond my five senses.

Hmm, this was a top-secret plan that even Linhua and Xiao Lěi had to be kept in the dark!

“Haha, Sister Lei’s stomach is growling~ so cute!”

In the end, Xiao Lěi couldn’t escape. After Sister Leiluo suffered, Xiao Lěi’s bloated belly was also teased by Xiao Lěi, but she didn’t resist much when resting her back on Xiao Lěi’s ample comfort… just rubbing her belly was enough to get a pillow, it was worth it.

But judging by her behavior after drinking, Xiao Lěi’s true nature was indeed quite lascivious.

“Let’s check the live stream situation first?”

Linhua suggested, having already opened the live stream on her phone.

Dragon Palace Yiji’s current live stream popularity was 60,000.

The leaked photos sparked a topic effect, bringing some traffic, although not as much as during her collaboration with Lucy. But there was significant progress.

However, it was still far from the 200,000 viewers required by Sister Tao.

Additionally, she changed models today. Compared to her previous high school uniform, today’s outfit was more ancient style, with the background set in an underwater dragon palace, highlighting her princess identity.

I think Old Yan got liver cirrhosis again.

“Oh! Let me see too!”

Knowing about Sister Tao from Linhua, Sister Miamao also understood something about her.

Due to the height of the car, Sister Miamao, seated in the passenger seat, crawled over in a crawling position, her snow-white chest visible through the dress. My eyes couldn’t avoid it, almost completely…

Sister Miamao was unaware and asked, “Is this paper figure the father of Sister Tao?”

To see Linhua’s phone screen clearly, she leaned too close, and I could smell the fragrance on her smooth golden hair.

I dodged my gaze and answered, “Ah, yeah… Linhua, turn up the volume, I can’t hear.”

Linhua’s eyes showed disdain; she noticed my gaze but still forcefully increased the volume to the loudest.

Sister Yiji was telling a story in the live stream.

She narrated the story she and AJ created during the day.

As if recounting her own experiences, Sister Yiji spoke with great seriousness.

“In fact, I only have half dragon blood, and it was only recently that Grandfather Dragon King found me and brought me back to the dragon palace.”

She overturned her original runaway princess persona.

“My father is the crown prince of the dragon palace. He secretly ran away from the palace, hid his identity, and met my human mother… but he’s a terrible person, truly terrible, because after my mother became pregnant, he abandoned her and returned to the dragon palace alone.”

Undoubtedly, this was a fabricated story, with Sister Yiji putting herself in Sister Tao’s shoes…

Though it was just a story, the fans, infected by the atmosphere, naturally began condemning the irresponsible dragon palace playboy. I didn’t know how Sister Yiji viewed these comments, but she continued to immerse herself in the story.

“After that, Grandfather Dragon King’s messenger finally found me, and I was taken back to the dragon palace and recognized as the new princess… I was shocked when I first discovered I could breathe underwater! I almost thought I was drowning!”

She further established her character.

[What about that trash of a father?]

The expected comment floated by, causing Dragon Palace Yiji to pause.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset and replied, “I haven’t seen him. Before I returned to the underwater dragon palace, Grandfather Dragon King had already expelled him.”

I wonder if Sister Tao is watching now…

No, she must be watching.

Sister Tao cares more about Sister Yiji’s live stream than any of us.

She absolutely wouldn’t miss it.
