Chapter 924 - 944: Say You Miss Me and I’ll Reward You
"What did you say? Impossible..." Luo’er said excitedly, "I clearly received a secret letter saying that father’s will hands everything over to you!"
"Haha!" Situ Yan let out a cold laugh from his nose.
"You think that you can bribe people around our foster father, and I can’t? I just had them alter your words a bit. As a result... you couldn’t wait to seize the position... Lot, even if father passed the position to me, you shouldn’t be so heartless."
"You... you...!" Lot’s pupils turned blood-red, eyes wide as he tried to rush over, "I’ll kill you! You insidious scoundrel!" However, the bodyguards held him back tightly, so he couldn’t move.
"All of this is because you were too eager for success. But for big matters, being too hasty won’t do." Situ Yan said with a cold laugh.
At this moment, a bodyguard stepped forward and whispered something into Situ Yan’s ear.
Situ Yan’s face broke into a smile.
"That little woman... She really still can’t fully trust me."
Situ Yan waved his hand towards the others, "Since everything’s over, I don’t want to see this person again."
"Situ Yan, I’ll kill you! I won’t let you go even as a ghost! Boohoo..."
"Yes, Yandi!" Soon, Lot was gagged and dragged out.
Seconds later, a gunshot rang out outside.
Situ Yan stood up, looking at Heba on the side.
"Everything is a new beginning."
Heba excitedly stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Yandi, from now on, you have nothing to worry about!"
Situ Yan reached out, patting Heba on the shoulder, "He was never my concern... the real worries are just beginning!"
Heba furrowed his brow slightly, looking bewildered, "Yandi, you... what do you mean?"
Situ Yan shook his head with a smile, saying mysteriously, "I’m just realizing now that managing a woman can sometimes be harder than managing an empire."
Having said that, he stepped out.
Heba stood there, his sturdy figure looking blankly at Situ Yan’s tall silhouette.
His face gradually darkened.
Yandi, who let you fall for someone who isn’t an ordinary woman!
This woman was able to marry Young Master of the Nangong Empire, and it was once widely rumored that Nangong adored her greatly, often organizing events for her.
This woman is anything but simple!
Heba shook his head helplessly.

Xia Xiaonuan sat on the chaise longue, lazily basking in the sun, flipping through a book she brought from her home country.
The sunlight hit her face, and she was nodding off while holding the book.
When Situ Yan walked in, he saw her with closed eyes, in a half-asleep state.
Because the floor was carpeted, walking on it made no sound.
Xia Xiaonuan didn’t notice a thing.
Situ Yan took a blanket and gently covered her with it.
As he pulled the book from her hand.
Xia Xiaonuan sensed something and slowly opened her eyes.
Situ Yan looked at her and smiled, asking, "Awake?"
Xia Xiaonuan frowned, "You’re back?"
"Hmm."
"I heard you asked a servant to call me today, did you miss me?" Situ Yan reached out, gently tapping her nose as he asked.
With sunlight shining on her face, Xia Xiaonuan’s cheeks warmed.
She quickly said, "I... I just wanted to ask where you went."
"So you did miss me." Situ Yan propped himself on both sides of her chaise longue, looking at her and said, "Tell me, you missed me, and I’ll give you a reward."
