In this lifetime, she didn't want to be separated from him ever again!
Less than four years was just far too short!
Wen Yan lowered her long eyelashes and immediately spoke to Dabai.
[Stupid Dabai, you once said that as long as I completed the strategy missions, even if I asked for immortality, it would be granted.]
Dabai: [Host, you can make your request now.]
Wen Yan: [I don't want immortality for myself anymore, nor do I want to be the richest person in the world. I want Si Moyan to live to a ripe old age. I don't want his life to be cut short.]
Dabai: [I'm afraid that won't work.]
Wen Yan: [You're my system now, you must have a way. Tell me, what do I need to do to let him live?]
Dabai: [Host, there actually is one way. As long as your good deed points from enjoying gossip reach 1000, you can exchange them for a longevity talisman.]
Wen Yan's heart instantly leaped with joy: [Really? As long as my good deed points reach 1000, I can get a longevity talisman?]
Dabai: [Yep! It's a perk your master managed to negotiate with the King of the Underworld. However, you need to reach the required points within a year.]
Wen Yan: [No problem. For the next year, my husband and I won't do anything else but focus on indulging in gossip. We will definitely complete the mission.]
After finishing her conversation with Dabai, Wen Yan wrapped her arms around the man's neck and sat on his lap.
"Hubby... no, since we're divorced now and haven't remarried yet, I should still call you Brother Yan."
The man brushed the long hair by her cheek behind her ear. "Whatever you prefer."
"I have a system, you know that, right?"
The man gave a low hum of acknowledgment.
"The system said that as long as we gossip and our good deed points reach 1000 within a year, I can get a longevity talisman. Then your life won't be cut short!"
Looking at the bright and joyful smile on the woman's face, Si Moyan lowered his head and kissed her lips. "You don't want me to die?"
"Of course I don't. In this lifetime, I want to grow old with you." Thinking of the heart-wrenching pain from the past, Wen Yan buried her small face in the crook of his neck and rubbed against it. "I also want to have your babies."
Hearing her words, his body stiffened fiercely. "You..."
Wen Yan hugged his neck tightly. "Before, when I wanted us to be DINKs, it was because I hadn't remembered those things and always felt that relationships were unreliable. But now that I remember, I know you are the most affectionate, devoted, and best man to me in this world. I want to build a perfect family with you."
The man rested his forehead against hers, his high-bridged nose gently rubbing against her delicate one. "There is no rush for children. You're still young; waiting a few more years is perfectly fine."
Wen Yan nodded. "Then for this year, let's just focus on gossiping to accumulate good deed points, okay?"
The man's thin lips curled into a faint smile. "I'll listen to whatever Yan'er says."
Seeing the man smile, Wen Yan felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
...
One week later.
Si Moyan handed over the company's affairs to the senior management.
Their family was invited by old Rex to travel to Country S.
Old Master Si and the rest of the Si family were very happy when they found out.
Before heading to Country S, Wen Yan arranged to meet Jiang Shuyin at a cafe.
After Jiang Shuyinn was arrested, she confessed to the evils she had committed. She had once leaked secrets of the special ops team, resulting in heavy casualties for the Ninth Squad, and she would soon be sentenced to death.
Jiang Shuyinn received her deserved punishment, and Jiang Shuyin had also fulfilled a wish.
"Ah Yin, as far as I know, Lu Yan isn't dead."
Wen Yan had checked in the system; when the explosion occurred, Lu Yan was blown away by a powerful desert storm.
Of course, besides Lu Yan, there were over ten other criminals, all of whom were found by the people from the IBI.
Although Lu Yan didn't die, he was severely injured and was currently still in the emergency room.
Hearing that Lu Yan was still alive, Jiang Shuyin's hands under the table clenched tightly into fists.
"Yan Yan, there is something I want to ask for your help with."
Wen Yan nodded. "Tell me."
Jiang Shuyin softly spoke of the matter she was entrusting to Wen Yan.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Yan agreed. "Alright, I will definitely keep your secret."
...
After returning to the apartment from the cafe, Wen Yan started packing her luggage.
Wen Jinglou walked over and gently knocked on the door.
"Yan Yan, there is something Dad wants to ask for your help with."
Wen Yan quickly stood up and held Wen Jinglou's hands. "Dad, we are father and daughter, there's no need to talk about asking for help. If there's anything you need your daughter to do, just say it."
Wen Jinglou pulled Wen Yan to the living room sofa and sat down. "You know about Wen Xiaoshu's identity. I found him while hunting in the forest. He grew up with me and never experienced a mother's love. Actually, I can sometimes sense that he also wants to find his biological parents."
Wen Yan nodded thoughtfully. "Dad, you want me to do a reading for Wen Xiaoshu to figure out who his biological parents are, right?"
Wen Jinglou nodded.
"Dad, looking at Wen Xiaoshu's facial features, I calculated that his parents have actually been gone for a long time. They passed away the same year you found him."
Wen Jinglou froze slightly.
"That year when I found Wen Xiaoshu, he had a parachute on him, and his clothes didn't look like something ordinary people could afford. I've kept them all these years. Do you think his parents were in a plane crash and gave the only parachute to Wen Xiaoshu in that moment of crisis?"
Wen Yan nodded. "That is possible."
Wen Jinglou took out the clothes he had kept for over a decade from the cabinet. "Take a look at this."
Wen Yan picked up the clothes and examined them closely.
She faintly saw the letter S on the collar.
"Dad, the letter on these clothes is the symbol of the royal family of Country S."
Wen Jinglou was shocked. "So you're saying, Wen Xiaoshu is very likely a member of the royal family?"
Wen Yan hummed thoughtfully. "Aren't we heading to Country S soon? Maybe Grandpa Rex will take us to the royal family, and we can ask around then."
"Alright."
...
After Wen Yan finished her work on hand and her university thesis, she took the Si family, Wen Jinglou, and Wen Xiaoshu to Country S.
There were no direct flights from their country, so they had to transfer planes in Country K.
Just as the group took their seats, a woman with sunglasses and fiery red lips walked over, accompanied by two strong and burly bodyguards.
Because Si Yubai had to undergo closed training, he didn't come this time, so Si Jingyi was sitting alone in a row.
The woman's seat happened to be in the same row as Si Jingyi.
The woman crossed her arms over her chest and said arrogantly, "Sir, I am not used to sitting with strangers. Please move to economy class, and I will compensate you double."
The bodyguard behind the woman immediately took out a check.
Si Jingyi felt somewhat baffled. "I'm not used to sitting with strangers either. How about I compensate you double, and you go to economy class?"
Wen Yan and the rest of the group sitting in the front row all turned their heads to look.
Before they could say anything, the strong bodyguard behind the woman suddenly grabbed Si Jingyi's collar roughly and hoisted him up.
"Holy crap, are you guys crazy?!" Si Jingyi tried to resist, but found that the bodyguard was highly skilled, rendering him completely unable to move.
"What are you doing?" Old Master Si and Wen Jinglou stood up and walked over.
The woman pushed her sunglasses up to the top of her head and cast a disdainful glance at Wen Jinglou and Old Master Si. "You are heading to Country S, aren't you? If you dare to cross me, I will make sure you never even cross the border."
Hearing the commotion, a flight attendant hurried over.
"Miss Luya, that gentleman is from Duke Rex's family," the flight attendant said, pointing at Wen Jinglou.
The woman looked impatient. "So what? It is not like I forced him to sit in economy class!"
The flight attendant turned to persuade Wen Jinglou, implying that he should not clash head-on with the woman, as she was someone even the Rex family could not afford to offend.
"What is wrong with sitting in the seats we paid for?"
The flight attendant sighed. "Sir, Miss Luya is a special case. Please just bear with it!"
"Why should we bear with it? I refuse to put up with this!" Si Jingyi's handsome face was filled with unbridled fury.
Wen Yan and Si Moyan stood up.
Wen Yan let out a cold laugh and spoke, "Lady, if you are so capable, why didn't you have a private jet come pick you up?"
Meanwhile, Si Moyan walked up to the bodyguard who was tightly grabbing Si Jingyi's collar. With a cold and piercing gaze, he demanded, "Let him go."
The bodyguard, a top-tier martial arts expert, completely disregarded the intimidating aura radiating from Si Moyan. Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip on Si Jingyi's collar.
Seeing that Si Jingyi was being choked to the point of breathlessness, Si Moyan reached out and directly grabbed the bodyguard by the throat.
Luya did not take Si Moyan seriously at all. In her eyes, him daring to go against her bodyguard was simply a death wish.
However, a scene completely beyond her expectations unfolded—
Her bodyguard, after being grabbed by the throat, was effortlessly lifted off the ground by the man.
Seeing this, the other bodyguard swiftly lunged at the man, but similarly, he was also grabbed by the throat and hoisted into the air.
It was worth noting that both of her bodyguards were incredibly well-built, standing nearly two meters tall. As combat experts, their skills ranked within the top ten on the dark web's leaderboards.
Yet, the man standing before her had subdued both of her bodyguards without breaking a single sweat.
It was absolutely terrifying!
"If you don't want me to crush them to death, take your bodyguards and get lost immediately!"
The two bodyguards were on the verge of suffocation before Si Moyan finally released them.
The looks they gave Si Moyan were filled with deep, chaotic fear and utter disbelief.
When he had grabbed them by their throats just moments ago, it felt as if their bodies had been paralyzed; they could not move an inch.
If he truly wanted to choke them to death, it would have been as easy as flipping his hand.
This man's skills were far too formidable, far too terrifying!
Seeing the fear in her bodyguards' eyes, Luya gritted her teeth in frustration. She pulled out her phone and made a call.
"...I am being bullied on the flight back home. It is someone from the Rex family. I don't care, you have to stand up for me... Fine then, send a private jet to pick me up."
After Luya left with her bodyguards, Si Jingyi clenched his hands into fists and threw a few shadow punches at her back.
"That crazy woman, could she be a member of the royal family?"
To completely disregard even the Rex family, who else could it be other than the royals?
Could they really be that unlucky? They hadn't even arrived in Country S yet, and they had already offended someone from the royal family?
Wen Yan immediately checked the system.
[Tsk, no wonder that woman named Luya was acting so arrogant!]
Old Master Si, Wen Jinglou, and Si Jingyi all turned to look at Wen Yan.
Was that Luya woman really a key member of the royal family?
[It turns out she is the royal crown prince's first love and secret lover.]
Old Master Si and the rest of the group, "..."
Was it really that shocking?
[And she herself is merely the daughter of a servant from Princess Luo Yuan's family.]
A servant's daughter could be this insanely arrogant?
It was obvious just how much the crown prince indulged and spoiled her in private.
Wen Yan hadn't expected to stumble upon such juicy royal melodrama before even landing in Country S.
[Ahhh, holy crap, there is something even more mind-blowing!]
