A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1630 - 332: Forced by Circumstance—The So-Called Strong (Part 1)

Chapter 1630: Chapter 332: Forced by Circumstance—The So-Called Strong (Part 1)

The case of Dongfang Jian is being systematically tried, including the real murderer of Yan Guobai, Di Bailu, who was captured by the police after several days on the run. Thus, this case is considered concluded.

"I’ve always had faith in you, and you didn’t disappoint me after all," Qin Zhongwen smiled, taking a light sip from the teacup in front of him.

"If not for Mr. Qin, I probably wouldn’t have gotten away so easily this time. I still have to thank you," Yan Nanmo said humbly.

"You should thank Duan Tiande, he contributed the most." Qin Zhongwen laughed, "Speaking of which, he was once your rival in love, you’d think he’d hold a grudge, but surprisingly, he didn’t."

Yan Nanmo smiled gently.

"In my position, outsiders envy it, but who knows the hardships within. It’s lonely at the top. Nanmo, I hope you remember, never to forget your original intention, no matter when." Qin Zhongwen met his eyes and said.

Yan Nanmo’s handsome face took on a determined look, "I understand."

Qin Zhongwen stood up, "Alright, there’s another meeting next, come along with me."

Yan Nanmo smiled and nodded.

"By the way, when are Ah Song and Ji Yunya getting married? I’m waiting to attend their wedding banquet," Qin Zhongwen suddenly asked.

Yan Nanmo was taken aback and replied, "They haven’t reached the legal marriage age yet, we can’t break the law, plus, young people nowadays are so forward-thinking, who knows what’s on their mind."

"Your daughter-in-law is truly excellent, Dr. Nyx. Hmm, if I ever need surgery? Can I get the backdoor treatment?" He laughed to himself.

Yan Nanmo showed traces of pride between his brows, "I reserved this daughter-in-law a long time ago, you better not snatch her away from me."

Qin Zhongwen glanced at him, "I’d like to, but my son is just not up to par, he doesn’t deserve her...."

Thinking of Qin Zhongwen’s son, Yan Nanmo couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. In comparison, his own two troublemakers weren’t so bad.

At Rongju Garden, Ji Yunya held a bowl of medicine gently, "Great-grandfather, just one more sip...."

The older people get, the more mischievous they become. Even drinking medicine requires coaxing from the younger generation.

"I want candy, this medicine is too bitter," the old man frowned.

"That’s not possible, your blood sugar is already high, you should eat less sweets. How about this, if you obediently finish the medicine, I’ll make you peach blossom cake. The peach blossoms in the garden have all bloomed beautifully, I can also take you to admire them...."

"I’ll drink, I’ll drink." The old man picked up the bowl and gulped the medicine down.

Ji Yunya couldn’t help but laugh, her great-grandfather was old but behaved like a child.

"You promised to make me peach blossom cake and take me to see the peach blossoms, you better keep your word."

"Hmm, I’ll keep my word."

After finally coaxing the old man to sleep, Ji Yunya gave Uncle Fu a few instructions and left Rongju Garden.

Since she had some free time, she went to the kitchen to try making peach blossom cake.

She took a flower basket and went to the garden with Ah Yun, the peach blossoms were all in bloom, vibrant and competing for beauty.

Ji Yunya moved among the branches, more beautiful than the flowers, looking stunning.

She plucked the clean peach blossom petals and placed them in the basket one by one, always so meticulous in whatever she does. Ah Yun, while picking, asked, "We haven’t seen Sister Mingyue these past few days, did the young lady send her on a mission?"

Ji Yunya remembered that day when Mingyue saved them all by somehow throwing Zong Qing, the human bomb, aside. Both she and Brother Yan were saved, but Mingyue was seriously injured because of it, and Ji Yunya hadn’t seen her since, feeling some worry deep down.

Thinking of the danger that day, it was fortunate to have Mingyue, otherwise, she and Brother Yan might be lying in the hospital now.

"What’s up, did you miss me?" A playful voice suddenly rang out.

Ah Yun looked up excitedly, seeing someone casually sitting on the wall, their skirt fluttering in the wind, looking dashing and free.

That person turned their head, their androgynous face was even more striking against the brilliant peach blossoms.

"Sister Mingyue, you’re back," Ah Yun said joyfully.

Ji Yunya smiled, "How’s your injury?"

Ah Yun quickly ran to the wall, asking worriedly, "Sister Mingyue, were you injured?"

Mingyue raised an eyebrow slightly, playing with a petal between her fingers, her lips curled subtly, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. It’s just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

But the truth was, she had to go into seclusion for three days and nights to heal, and even then, her cultivation energy only recovered seventy percent. The bomb was too powerful, if she hadn’t sealed her meridians in time, her body would have exploded from the shockwave.

A true strong person never shows their weakness to others.

Ah Yun looked at Mingyue with admiration. In her eyes, there was no one more amazing than Mingyue in this world.

Ji Yunya smiled, not asking further, "Glad you’re back."

"The young lady is going to make peach blossom cake, Sister Mingyue, you can try it. It’s the first time I’ve seen the young lady cook."

Mingyue’s lips twitched slightly, the young lady cooking? That’s simply a disaster.

"Are you sure it’s edible?" Mingyue was doubtful.

Ji Yunya glared at her, "Underestimating me?"

"That’s not what I meant." Mingyue touched her nose.

Suddenly, her eyes turned sharp, and the petal in her hand flew out instantly. The soft petal, like a sharp blade, sliced through the air, carrying a thunderous power.

The petal brushed past the man’s face and embedded into the tree trunk.

It pushed deeper, inch by inch.

The man suppressed his shock, stepping from behind the tree with a charming, yet devilish smile, his eyes were as though they were dyed with the color of peach blossoms, exuding irresistible charm.

Ji Yunya looked at the newcomer with a smile, "Seventh Uncle, what wind blew you here?"

"I heard voices here and came to see the excitement, not knowing it was my niece-in-law here. Eh? You’re plucking peach blossom petals, could it be for a petal bath?" That sudden sparkle in his eyes made Ji Yunya frown instinctively.

"Seventh Uncle, please mind yourself."

With those words, she turned around, not bothering to look at him again.

Yan Nangui, with a smile in his eyes, glanced at the wall, his gaze flickered, instinctively touching his face.

Hiss, it still hurt a bit.

That person’s cold eyes were like the frozen depths of hell, even someone like Yan Nangui, used to facing storms, was slightly startled by their gaze.

This Ji Yunya was becoming more and more interesting, and she had such a mysterious expert by her side.

That person’s thin lips moved slightly, silently forming a word. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She said, "Leave."

He understood and couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

An overwhelming murderous aura enveloped him, like an iron net, capturing him so tightly that no amount of struggling could free him.

Cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and he suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground, supporting himself with one hand, gasping for breath.

Ah Yun was startled, unable to hide the schadenfreude in her voice, saying, "Seventh Master, what’s wrong with you? Your body has become so weak. Alas... so young and already hollowed out by wine and women, truly a pity."

Serves you right for always ogling at the young lady.

"I have something to attend to, excuse me." With those words, he stumbled away.

Mingyue slowly retracted her hand, playing with the peach blossom petals in her fingers. The petals lingered at her fingertips, controlled by a stream of air, spinning and dancing.
