Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 670 - 568: Capture Our Father! (Second Update)

Chapter 670: Chapter 568: Capture Our Father! (Second Update)

"You’re all grown up and still bickering! Take your wives back to rest!" Yan Zi glared at her two sons with mock irritation.

Mi Chenxuan and Mi Chenshuo quickly supported their wives and headed back.

Watching their cautious demeanor, Yi Luowa joked, "Third Brother and Eighth Brother are instantly in character. Not bad!"

"They’ve learned from Rui’er and Nuo’er," Yan Zi chuckled. "Let’s head back too. My heart is pounding—I don’t even know what to feel right now. I’ve been looking forward to their kids being born, but didn’t expect their pregnancies to happen at the exact same time!"

Ni Lu laughed and said, "Who cares when it happened? The fact that it happened is good enough. When they give birth, Sangyu and Ziyan will be older by then. I’ll help you take care of one of them."

"Sounds good to me!"

Everyone laughed and joked as they made their way back to the main hall. Yan Zi couldn’t hold back and ended up calling Mi Xiaotian. Mi Xiaotian, who had just put down his chopsticks, heard the news about his two daughters-in-law expecting and looked excitedly at Long Che.

Long Che noticed his quivering hands and asked suspiciously, "What’s the matter?"

Mi Xiaotian, overflowing with excitement, replied, "Brother, Yan Zi just called! She said Joyina and Youyou are both pregnant—and even their pregnancy timelines match perfectly!"

The North Di King and Jack, seated beside him, were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Really?" The North Di King grabbed Mi Xiaotian’s wrist in excitement.

Jack was equally stunned. "Really? Why didn’t Ni Lu or Youyou call me?"

Mi Xiaotian nodded with a smile. "Really, it’s true! Yan Zi asked if I’d finished eating yet. I bet your phones will ring any minute now too."

Just as Mi Xiaotian finished speaking, both the North Di King and Jack’s phones rang simultaneously. After taking the calls, they both stood up.

"We’re going to head over and check it out," said the North Di King with a laugh.

"I’ll come along with you," Mi Xiaotian added, standing up as well.

Long Che watched the three of them and laughed, "Let me congratulate the three of you in advance. Once Randy and I finish entertaining guests here, we’ll head over too."

The news of Youyou and Joyina’s simultaneous pregnancies spread like wildfire, and soon everyone knew.

Bernard, You Jia, Monica, and the others, upon hearing this news, hurried off to the royal palace as well.

Celebrations piled upon celebrations, and the smiles on everyone’s faces brightened the banquet the next day.

During the banquet, Queen Haotian held her daughter’s hand and introduced her to every attendee present.

Among the attendees, many had also participated in the banquet held for Nancy.

After Queen Haotian and Yi Luowa made their rounds, whispers began among the crowd.

"You can tell she’s the Queen’s biological daughter just by her demeanor, her aura—they’re like two peas in a pod!"

"Wasn’t that what you said last time, too?"

"Last time was just polite chatter. This time, I mean every word. Didn’t you notice? Even the Queen and the Princess hold their wine glasses the same way!"

"Haha... you’re so good with words! Honestly, that fake princess didn’t cut it at all—her gaze lacked confidence. When I spoke to her, she couldn’t even look me in the eye."

"Let’s avoid talking about others’ family matters. Let’s enjoy the wedding banquet instead."

"Drink, drink!"

Overhearing their gossip, Yi Luowa shared a smile with her mother. Queen Haotian laughed and said, "Let them talk. Come on, I’ll introduce you to some old friends of mine."

Yi Luowa nodded with a smile.

Queen Haotian approached a private room and knocked lightly on the door before stepping inside.

Inside the room sat seven or eight people, all roughly her age. There were two women and six men.

A middle-aged noblewoman smiled and said, "Zhi Lan, finally you’re here! I thought you’d forgotten about us!"

"Forget anyone but you all? Never." Queen Haotian laughed, pulling her daughter closer. "This time, this truly is my biological daughter—no more mix-ups."

"Haha... Zhi Lan, you’re usually so sharp, but sometimes even you mess up! How could you not know your own child?" joked a man of average height.

The tall man beside him quickly covered his mouth. "Stop poking Zhi Lan where it hurts!"

Queen Haotian’s smile faltered slightly as she said, "It’s best if each of you stabs me once—maybe then I’ll remember the lesson better."

"Mom..." Yi Luowa gently patted her mother’s hand.

Queen Haotian laughed and said, "I’m fine. These are my classmates. We talk to each other just like you and Huo Li do—no banter, no fun. Luowa, let me introduce them. This is Aunt Xiao, and this is Aunt Yuan..."

Yi Luowa smiled sweetly and politely greeted both of them.

"Luowa looks exactly like you when you were young!" Aunt Xiao chuckled, holding Yi Luowa’s hand.

"Aunt Xiao, you’re joking. My mother is known as the most beautiful woman on Fang Yao Continent—I can’t possibly compare."

"You’ve raised such a polite and humble child," Aunt Xiao remarked.

The average-height man added with heartfelt praise, "Luowa is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiawu Aldrich family, and the reputation of Duke Airui on Fang Yao Continent is unmatched. Yet, as his wife, she’s so warm and approachable, showing no arrogance—truly impressive."

Yi Luowa smiled sincerely and said, "Uncle, you are my mother’s old friends. No matter my status, I’m merely a junior in front of you."

Queen Haotian gestured toward him and introduced, "This is your Uncle Xiang."

"Uncle Xiang, hello!" Yi Luowa greeted him politely.

Mr. Xiang quickly stood up. "Luowa, we’ve been friends with your mother for over twenty years. No need to be so formal with us!"

"I’m not being formal—it’s Uncle Xiang who’s being too polite," Yi Luowa replied with a smile, gently encouraging him to sit back down.

Queen Haotian introduced the others to Yi Luowa. However, when it came to the tall man, she hesitated for a moment.

The tall man smiled awkwardly and said, "It’s best not to introduce me. The less she knows about me, the less likely she’ll dislike me."

Yi Luowa glanced at her mother and instantly realized who he was. She extended her hand deliberately. "Hello, if I’m not mistaken, you must be Mr. Joel?"

Joel looked awkwardly at Queen Haotian.

Queen Haotian scolded, "The child is greeting you, stop looking at me and acknowledge her!"

"I...I’m just feeling embarrassed," Joel replied, pursing his lips. He stood up and briefly shook hands with Yi Luowa before pulling back.

"What happened in the past stays in the past—no one should bring it up anymore!" Queen Haotian declared. She raised her glass and smiled, saying, "Since there are so many guests here today, my daughter and I can only stay briefly. I’ll toast you all now, but once we have more time, I’ll invite you to the palace, and we’ll truly catch up then."

Everyone raised their glasses as Yi Luowa took a light sip. From outside came the sound of footsteps, catching her attention.

Tong Airui strode inside.

Everyone turned to look at him—they all knew this handsome man was none other than the formidable Airui Aldrich, whose very presence brought chills across Fang Yao Continent.

Tong Airui nodded slightly in greeting to everyone. Then he addressed Queen Haotian, saying, "Mom, the child is clamoring for Luowa."

Queen Haotian smiled warmly. "Then you two should hurry back."

"We’ll leave first then," Tong Airui said, taking his wife’s hand in his. The couple left the room hand-in-hand.

"They’re so good together—what do they want with me?" Yi Luowa pouted and looked at Tong Airui.

Tong Airui glanced back at the private room and whispered, "I noticed you’ve been walking around with Mom and drinking quite a bit, so I made up an excuse to get you out of there before you drank too much."

"My alcohol tolerance is way better than Mom’s," Yi Luowa teased with a mischievous smile. "The other day, I overheard Aunt and Xixi’s mother saying Mom only needed one sip of wine to win over Dad..."

"Ahem!"

Yi Luowa looked up at the source of the sound, her cheeks instantly flushing bright red, all the way to the tips of her ears.
