Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 570 - 491: What Are You Afraid I’ll Hear? (Eight Updates)
People in the restaurant heard the laughter and came out one after another.
Mi Chenxuan walked over with a smile, "What’s so funny?"
Danton laughed and said, "I said Sister Luowa is nosy, and now she wants to hit me."
Mi Chenxuan looked at Yi Luowa, "You’re already nosy, why not let others say so."
Yi Luowa pouted, "I’m not nosy! Fine, if you don’t talk, I won’t ask. I’ll go upstairs and play with Sangyu and Ziyan."
"Haha... mad now?" Danton laughed and took out a pendant from his collar, "Don’t get mad. I’ll satisfy your curiosity and show you what my mom looks like."
Tong Yao and Yan Zi also came over when they heard they’d get to see the true appearance of the Queen of Haotian.
Yi Luowa touched her nose—seems like Danton wasn’t wrong; women really are nosy.
Danton opened the pendant and handed it to Yi Luowa, "The person in the photo is my mom."
The person in the photo rested her cheek in her hand, gazing thoughtfully. That tenderness, that beauty, and that charm were unforgettable. Her waterfall-like long hair, elegant dress, perfect oval-shaped face, intelligent almond eyes, and poised demeanor made even mischievous people cautious around her.
After looking at the photo, Tong Yao exclaimed, "The rumors are true! She really is a beauty! Yan Zi, did you notice that the Queen of Haotian looks so much like our Luowa?"
Yan Zi hadn’t recovered from the photo yet but turned slowly when Tong Yao called her. She looked at Yi Luowa and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m sure I’ve seen the Queen of Haotian somewhere before."
Tong Yao joked, "In your dreams!"
Yan Zi frowned deeply, took the pendant from Yi Luowa’s hand, and said, "I really saw her. I just can’t remember where... Luowa, do you remember the first time we met, I said I had seen you somewhere before? Now I realize the person I saw wasn’t actually you—it was the Queen of Haotian... But where exactly did I see her?"
"My mom has lived in Haotian all her life. Have you been to Haotian?"
Yan Zi shook her head quickly, "Haotian is close to Xiawu, but I’ve really never been there. You guys were always at war. Has your mom ever visited M-country or Z-country?"
"She hasn’t been to those two countries, but she has been to F-country. That photo was taken in F-country."
"F-country?" Yan Zi pondered for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "I know! I saw her in F-country! Back then, I was filming a movie there and we needed extras. Your mom came to audition, but the director said she was too beautiful and would overshadow the main actors, so she wasn’t cast. I remember her because of her beauty... But wait, why would your mom work as an extra?"
Danton’s eyes slightly tightened, "My mom went through a very tough time back then."
Yan Zi, seeing he was upset, quickly handed back the pendant, "The past is the past. What matters is living every day to the fullest from now on!"
Danton smiled and nodded. After putting the pendant back on, he turned to Yi Luowa, "Now you’ve seen my mom, just like looking at yourself, so you won’t have to wonder anymore."
"She’s way prettier than me! Plus, her personality must be much better too."
"Using my dad’s words to describe her: ’Calm as a virgin, lively as a rabbit.’ Your personalities are exactly the same."
Yi Luowa smiled at him, "You’ve learned to sweet talk people quickly."
"It’s not deliberate sweet talk—just naturally coming out." Danton laughed and stood up, "It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave now. Thanks to Prime Minister Long Che and Lady Biyao for your warm hospitality."
"You just bought your place; is it ready for you to stay?" Yi Luowa asked, standing up as well.
Long Che looked at Danton, "Stay here tonight. Wait for your people to arrive tomorrow, then you can decide where to go."
Without hesitation, Danton agreed immediately. He didn’t want to leave at all.
Yi Luowa led Danton to the guest room upstairs, arranged it for him, then stepped out.
Mi Chenxuan approached mysteriously, "Fourth Sister-in-law, did my fourth brother say when he’d be back?"
"He said if everything goes smoothly, it’ll take three days." Yi Luowa pursed her lips slightly. "They even brought Ling along this time."
Mi Chenxuan frowned slightly, "Looks like it’s a big mission."
Yi Luowa pulled Mi Chenxuan away from Danton’s bedroom, "Chenxuan, can’t you persuade Youyou not to do such dangerous work?"
"Fourth Sister-in-law, it’s her own decision. It’s not my place to ask her to give up her job. Besides, with my fourth brother by her side, she won’t get into any trouble."
"Sigh..." Yi Luowa sighed deeply, "Great, now we’re worrying about both of them."
"Don’t worry too much. Every job has its risks. As long as Youyou is with my fourth brother, I’m not worried. Let’s head downstairs and invite my fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law to play poker to kill the long evening."
Yi Luowa pouted, "I can’t tell whether you’re accompanying me or I’m accompanying you!"
"We’re both accompanying my fifth brother, hahaha... Every time I see his ’celibate’ face, it cracks me up."
"Are you two coming down or not?" Tong Aino stood at the staircase, looking annoyed at them.
"Coming~" Yi Luowa giggled and ran to Danton’s door, shouting inside, "Danton, we’re going to the living room to play cards. If you’re not too tired after your shower, come down and join us."
"Alright!"
After hearing his response, Yi Luowa went downstairs with Mi Chenxuan.
Tong Aino and Connie had come down earlier and were waiting by the nursery door for them. When they saw the duo arrive, they muttered unhappily, "Couldn’t you leave us a chance? You took both babies away so early."
"You’re about to be a father yourself. Why are you still obsessing over hugging other people’s kids?" Mi Chenxuan snorted at him, "Come on, we’re all loners here. Let’s huddle together for comfort."
Danton came downstairs while the four of them were playing poker in the living room.
Yi Luowa wanted to offer her cards to him, but Danton shook his head, "I’m not good at playing. I’ll just watch you."
With laughter and chatter, the four of them continued playing while Danton quietly watched for a while before lying on the sofa and falling asleep.
Yi Luowa glanced at him helplessly. He was so exhausted; why did he even bother coming downstairs?
Yi Luowa took her son’s little blanket from the stroller and draped it over Danton.
"With this kind of constitution, he still wants to travel the world?" Mi Chenxuan sighed.
"That’s his dream. He’ll fight to make it happen. Maybe one day his health will improve." Connie touched her belly as she spoke, wishing that heaven would grant her a healthy baby.
They played for a while longer, and when Connie said she was tired, Tong Aino helped her back to their room.
Mi Chenxuan lay back on the sofa, turned his head to look at Danton sleeping soundly, and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I’ll keep an eye on him. You go rest."
"I’m debating whether to wake him."
"Let him sleep a little longer. If you wake him, he might not fall back asleep—that wouldn’t be ideal." Mi Chenxuan stared at Danton for a while and lowered his voice, "The more I look at him, the more I see the resemblance between you two. Fourth Sister-in-law, how is it possible for unrelated people to look so alike?"
"The world is full of wonders!"
Mi Chenxuan shook his head, "It wouldn’t be strange if you only looked like Nancy, but you’re also so similar to him and the Queen of Haotian. Don’t you suspect anything?"
Yi Luowa chuckled and looked at him, "Suspect what? Don’t overthink it. First off, the Queen of Haotian only gave birth to one daughter, so the theory that Nancy and I are twins doesn’t hold up. Secondly, Haotian Emperor did a DNA test with Nancy before announcing she was their child to the public. Most importantly, Nancy and I also had a DNA test, and it proved we’re not biologically related. Naturally, I have no relation to Danton’s family either."
"I know all that, but I still feel like there’s something off somewhere." Mi Chenxuan scratched his head irritably, "Fourth Sister-in-law, we won’t give up. We’ll definitely help you find your biological parents."
The "sleeping" Danton slightly furrowed his brow.
Yi Luowa quickly motioned for silence.
Mi Chenxuan glanced at Danton and nudged him, "Alright, stop pretending. I’m not afraid of you hearing what I said."
Danton opened his eyes, looking dazed. "Afraid of me hearing what?"
Mi Chenxuan glared at him, "I said that my Fourth Sister-in-law—"
"He said you should go upstairs to rest," Yi Luowa interrupted with a chuckle, taking the blanket from him. "Go upstairs and sleep. Tomorrow morning, we’ll see how you feel before deciding if we’ll go out to play."
