Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 419 - 368: Downfall (2)

Tong Airui laughed, "It’s not for our child, it’s for Old Seven’s kid. I heard that baby cribs need to air out for a while before use since they have paint on them, and I’m worried it might not be good for the child."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and smiled. This man—what he says is never the same as what he does. He’s always teasing people with his words, but deep down, he’s always thinking about providing the best for his family.

"You! Yesterday you were saying the baby wasn’t yours, and today you’re out buying things for the baby."

Tong Airui laughed loudly. "Silly wife, the child in Shanshan’s belly definitely isn’t mine. If it were mine, Old Seven would be fighting me to the death!"

Yi Luowa narrowed her eyes dangerously. "If the child in Shanshan’s belly were yours, I’d fight you to the death too!"

"You see, I knew you’d react this way. That’s why I’m making it clear upfront—the child isn’t mine."

Haha... The couple burst out laughing together.

"Husband, where are you having dinner tonight?"

"I don’t know when I’ll be done with work. I won’t be home for dinner, so you don’t have to wait for me."

"Alright. Husband, is there any news from Hao Tian?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I’ll tell you when I get there. I still have some things to handle right now—talk later, okay?"

"Mua~ Bye-bye."

"Mua——"

Yi Luowa put down the phone and smiled happily.

Huo Li nudged her, "Why are you grinning like that?"

"Love-struck!" Yu teased as she laughed aloud.

Yi Luowa reached out to pinch Yu’s cheek. "I can see my husband every day, so I don’t need to be love-struck!"

Yu pouted, "But I can’t see Mi Chenxuan. Not only can’t I see him, but I also can’t even hear his voice."

"When Old Eight is out on a mission, he can’t contact his family," Yi Luowa said as she patted Yu’s hand. "He’ll be back in two days, alright? Don’t feel sad."

Yi Luowa handed her a blank invitation card. "This is for Aunt Ni Lu. Help me write it."

Yu pursed her lips. "But I don’t know how to write in S-country’s language."

"Just write it in whatever language you know—they’ll understand it."

Yu picked up a pen and used Hao Tian’s language to write out the invitation, handing it back to Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa looked at it. "Yu’s writing is so good!"

She thought to herself, Uncle Jack will definitely be delighted when he knows this invitation was written by Yu!

When Tong Airui arrived, it was nearly ten o’clock. After chatting with Yi Weiyang for a while, he went upstairs with Yi Luowa.

Without waiting for Yi Luowa to ask, Tong Airui spoke first. "Emperor Hao Tian has already imprisoned Kai Di and her five lovers in the royal prison. Bert told me that after hearing the details, Emperor Hao Tian was extremely angry, practically ready to kill them on the spot. But after speaking privately with Kai Di for more than an hour, he changed his mind and decided to sentence her to life imprisonment."

Yi Luowa asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Kai Di holds some secret of Emperor Hao Tian and used it to threaten him?"

"Emperor Hao Tian explained to King Bei Di and Bert that Kai Di had their mother’s will in her possession. The will states that no matter what Kai Di does wrong, Emperor Hao Tian must spare her life. However, this will is not permanent—it only allows Kai Di to escape death three times."

Yi Luowa furrowed her brows slightly. "I really don’t understand what Emperor Hao Tian’s mother was thinking. These three chances to avoid death are enough for Kai Di to climb onto the throne."

Tong Airui said in a low voice, "I suspect Kai Di won’t get to use the remaining two chances. Life imprisonment means she can’t even walk out of her cell. What opportunity would she have to stir up trouble?"

"That’s not for sure. That woman has a restless heart. I’m just afraid Emperor Hao Tian won’t be able to keep her under control." Yi Luowa blinked her eyes. "This outcome of life imprisonment—will King Bei Di and King Muta accept it?"

"Compensation was also provided, exempting both countries from ten years of tariffs. King Bei Di has already withdrawn his troops. King Muta and my father discussed it—they’ve all agreed."

"What about Lan Ji and Lan Bo?"

"Their trial will be held the day after tomorrow."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips. "Will they also avoid the death penalty?"

Tong Airui shook his head. "They’re not in the same situation as Kai Di. Kai Di is Emperor Hao Tian’s sister. Emperor Hao Tian can sacrifice ten years of tariffs for her, but King Muta won’t spend a dime for Lan Ji and Lan Bo. King Bei Di demands blood, and King Muta is willing to agree."

"The Lan family crossed the line this time. They colluded with Kai Di, planted Lan Ji in the palace, and sold out Xia Wu, causing harm to the royal family. Behavior like this is intolerable for any ruler."

Yi Luowa nodded in agreement.

Su Sister, I hope you can see all of this from heaven. Your great revenge has been avenged—you can rest in peace now!
