Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 568 - 489th - What’s the Situation? (Sixth Update)

Chapter 568: 489th Chapter What’s the Situation? (Sixth Update)

Yi Luowa froze, her mother-in-law spoke so cautiously—could it be that her aunt was injured?

Tong Aino also noticed something odd, grabbed Sangyu, and ran outside. "Mom, what’s going on?"

"When getting out of the car, I accidentally grazed this child a bit."

Tong Aino looked at the child her mother had mentioned and froze.

He had never seen a young man so stunning before!

"My lord, put the child down!" Tong Yao, who had been tending to the injured young man without lifting her head, looked up. Seeing her son holding her granddaughter right in front of her, her face turned crimson with panic.

The young man glanced at Tong Aino, then lowered his gaze to Sangyu in his arms, his smile growing even brighter.

Sangyu didn’t seem shy either. When she saw him smile at her, she burst into giggles.

"Mom, look how well I’ve been taking care of Sangyu. Let me hold her for a little longer." Tong Aino pleaded pitifully with his mother.

"Luowa, come quickly and take Sangyu back!" Tong Yao raised her voice.

Yi Luowa had just put down Ziyan and was heading over. Hearing her mother-in-law’s tone change, she quickened her steps.

Tong Yao supported the slightly injured young man as they headed toward the hall. Yi Luowa walked out, and they bumped into each other, both momentarily stunned.

"Elder brother?!" Yi Luowa was genuinely bewildered.

"Big sister!" The young man’s bewilderment quickly turned into amusement.

"Old Jin is here!" Yan Zi rushed in, interrupting their tense eye contact.

Tong Yao glanced at Yi Luowa—apparently, she knew this young man. Having acquaintances makes handling matters easier. Let’s let Old Jin take a look at his leg injury first.

Yi Luowa stepped aside to make way for her mother-in-law and the young man. Once they were in, she took Sangyu from Tong Aino’s arms.

"Sister-in-law..." Tong Aino gazed wistfully at his niece.

Yi Luowa whispered, "Wait until later and sneak upstairs to hold her."

The young man turned around to glance at the two of them, chuckling, and followed Tong Yao into the hall.

After Old Jin brought in his medical kit, he treated the injury on the young man’s leg. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Luckily, they’re just minor abrasions." After finishing the treatment, Tong Yao let out a long sigh of relief.

"I’ve said it’s fine; you’re worrying too much." The young man laughed helplessly, lowering his gaze to Ziyan in the baby stroller. His eyes curved into crescent moons as he laughed, "Big sister, your two babies are prettier than one another!"

Seeing he wasn’t seriously injured, Yi Luowa shot him a glance. "What brings you here?"

"I can’t stand the smell at the hospital, thought I’d go home, but here I am," the young man gestured to his leg.

"Where’s your home?" Yi Luowa pursed her lips. "I’ll have someone send you back later."

"Autumn Forest Apartments. It’s just next door; I can manage on my own."

Tong Yao laughed and said, "You mentioned your home doesn’t have many people. Why not stay for dinner before heading back?"

"Big sister, would that be okay?" The young man smiled slyly at Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa gave an indifferent nod. While the young man seemed harmless, she still felt uneasy not knowing his identity.

"Auntie, I think I’ll leave—Big sister doesn’t seem too keen on me staying." The young man stood up, looking slightly aggrieved.

Tong Yao smiled and tugged his arm. "Luowa is the most hospitable; she’s teasing you. You two know each other, don’t you already understand her personality?"

The young man chuckled, "We only met yesterday. Big sister saved my life..."

The young man recounted how Yi Luowa had saved him yesterday, though he didn’t disclose what exact illness he had.

"What a coincidence!" Tong Yao laughed. "Yesterday Luowa saved you, and today I accidentally hit you..."

"Auntie, let’s not bring that up again." The young man glanced at Ziyan and made a funny face.

"Gurgle..." Ziyan giggled, waving his little hands.

"Such a cutie!" The young man raised his hand as if to touch him, but hesitated and pulled back halfway.

Yi Luowa pursed her lips as she watched him—his cautious manner pricked her heart ever so slightly.

"Young man, what’s your name?" Yan Zi looked at the young man warmly. Such a beautiful child—just looking at him warmed her heart.

"Dan." The young man promptly replied to Yan Zi without hesitation.

"Auntie, is dinner ready? I’m starving!" As everyone chatted, Mi Chenxuan walked in rubbing his stomach.

"You remembered to come back?" Yan Zi noticed her son’s hair was standing upright and glared at him with displeasure.

"It’s all because my fourth brother tricked me! He assigned me an impossible task..." Mi Chenxuan complained before noticing a stranger in the living room and cutting himself short.

The young man looked at him.

He looked at the young man.

Mi Chenxuan furrowed his brows slightly, "Danton?"

The young man’s gaze shifted slightly. "Are you calling me?"

Mi Chenxuan walked over languidly, bent over to look at the young man, "Yeah, I’m addressing you!"

"I’m Dan!"

"Say it again!" Mi Chenxuan took out his phone and showed him a picture of Danton.

The young man grinned at the sight, "Why does this person look so much like me?"

"Heh, does resemble you a lot!" Mi Chenxuan grabbed his phone and called Pengpeng, "Pengpeng, buddy, bring the crew to the Duke’s residence."

"What’s going on?"

"Searching high and low only to find it effortlessly!"

"You found him?"

"He’s sitting right in front of me. Hurry up—Prince and I need a heart-to-heart~"

Mi Chenxuan hung up the phone, squeezed past his mother, and plopped down next to the young man.

"Are you sure you got the right person?" The young man looked at Mi Chenxuan amused.

Mi Chenxuan slung an arm over his shoulder grinning, "Kiddo, I’ve looked at your photo so much in the past few days it makes me sick. Do you think I’d get it wrong? Where’ve you been running around lately! Not only have you worried your parents, but you’ve dragged us out searching everywhere for you."

The young man’s gaze dimmed slightly, "A lot of people in this world look alike. I’m really not who you’re looking for."

Everyone glanced between the two suspiciously, unsure of what kind of coded exchange they were having.

Mi Chenxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "That’s true—my sister and my fourth sister-in-law look identical. How do you feel when you see my fourth sister-in-law?"

"You’re Prince Haotian?" Tong Yao finally pieced things together.

"Danton?" Yi Luowa also looked over.

The young man pouted slightly, "I said I’m not..."

Tong Yao scrutinized the young man again, "Now that you mention it, I realize this child looks a lot like his father."

The young man shook off Mi Chenxuan’s hand and tried to run.

Yi Luowa grabbed him by the collar, and Mi Chenxuan simultaneously clamped his arm.

"Let me tell you, even if you manage to run out of this hall, you won’t be able to leave the Duke’s residence." Mi Chenxuan patted him, "Sit tight while I ask around where you should go."

"Your fourth brother isn’t in Xiawu; call my dad." Yi Luowa firmly held onto the young man’s collar.

Tong Yao, holding Sangyu, said to the young man, "I’ve been to Haotian twice, but we’ve never met. Now that you’re here, don’t rush to leave."

"If he doesn’t leave, his parents will be worried sick!" Mi Chenxuan snorted as he dialed Long Che’s number.

After hearing that Danton had been found and was at his house, Long Che quickly wrapped up his discussion with visitors and hurried back.

Since Mi Chenxuan called Long Che, the young man had been silent. When Long Che arrived, he finally stood up.

"Prime Minister Long Che, hello!"

Long Che stared at him deeply. "I’ve notified your father. Knowing you’re here eases his mind a little. Give him a call soon."

"Okay."

Seeing his respectful demeanor toward his uncle, Mi Chenxuan smirked to the point of nearly breaking into laughter. "At such a young age, you already know how to play to your audience. Is it because you know my uncle isn’t easy to fool?"

"I mainly didn’t want to go back." Danton pouted and turned to Yi Luowa. "I hadn’t planned on staying in Xiawu. But then I saw you—it felt both novel and comforting... Ah! Curiosity kills the cat. Otherwise, I’d be in Beidi by now."

Yi Luowa worriedly said, "Do you even understand the state of your own body? Beidi is so cold—you wouldn’t handle it well. If you still want to explore, we’ll accompany you around Xiawu for a few days, and then you should return."

"I won’t go back. The world is so big—there are far more countries than just Haotian and Xiawu. You know my health is poor; I don’t want to leave the world with any regrets."

Yi Luowa stiffened her expression upon hearing him talk about leaving this world. "Stop talking nonsense! Shanshan said the poison inside you, while incurable, can at least be suppressed."

Long Che furrowed his brow slightly, "Danton is poisoned?"

Yi Luowa nodded. "Yes, he must have been poisoned at a very young age."

Long Che glanced at Mi Chenxuan. "Xuanxuan, go ask your seventh aunt to take a look at Danton."

Mi Chenxuan responded promptly and picked up the phone.

"Luowa, call Shanshan to come over as well."

"Alright, I’ll call her now."

Danton looked at Long Che in confusion.

Long Che frowned slightly. "Xuanxuan’s seventh aunt is an expert in detoxification. She might be able to cure your poisoning."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Long Che, but Doctor Jimo said this poison is known to very few people."

"Let’s give it a try. We’ve always thought you were sick; it never occurred to me that you were poisoned."

Danton smiled wryly, "My father consulted so many doctors, but fourteen years have passed and none figured out I was poisoned."
