Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 716 - 604: What to Do If Not Indulged? (First Update)

"What do you mean by not spoiling them? If I make them cry, won’t you go to war with me?" Long Che glanced at him with a smile. "Just got your blood pressure down, don’t go wandering around."

"I’ll head back now." The Emperor Hao Tian chuckled as he extended his hand toward Sang Yu. Sang Yu glanced at her mother and, seeing her holding her brother’s hand, only then dared to run over and grab her grandfather’s hand.

"Ah! The child must have been scared." The Emperor Hao Tian sighed heavily. "Luowa, once your mom’s discharged, you’d better head back. The child is still young and needs you."

Yi Luowa walked over holding her son’s hand. "Dad, let’s talk about this later. Right now, you and Mom’s main task is to focus on recuperating."

The Emperor Hao Tian nodded apologetically.

Long Che and Tong Yao stayed here for two days. If Tong Airui hadn’t kept urging them to return, the two of them would have wanted the children to accompany Yi Luowa a little longer.

Yi Luowa took advantage of the kids’ nap time to send them to the airport. The two little ones were sleeping soundly and didn’t wake even after boarding the plane.

Yi Luowa kissed each of their little cheeks before leaving the plane with teary eyes.

On this side, the plane Long Che was on took off, while on the other side, Tong Airui was already boarding his flight from Xia Wu.

He hadn’t seen his wife for several days. Watching her on TV, she seemed noticeably thinner, and his heart ached terribly. If it weren’t for the recent battles and the many matters requiring his attention, he would’ve flown there long ago.

As soon as the plane landed at the royal airport, Yuan Hang came to greet him.

Master and servant boarded the car, and Tong Airui asked in a low voice, "Has the assassin’s identity been confirmed?"

"A freelance reporter registered on a public website."

"That’s all you found?" Tong Airui frowned in displeasure.

"His social connections are extraordinarily clean—no parents, no wife, no children..."

"From now on, verify identities carefully before allowing attendees into public events."

"Yes, sir! Previous press conferences all had identity checks in place. This time, things happened suddenly—Luowa only had fifteen minutes between when the event was announced and when the meeting took place... Either way, it’s my negligence."

"Just be more careful in the future. She lacks experience, so when something arises, think things through for her."

"Understood. Sir, now that you’re here, Luowa is about to confront Emperor Hao Tian and Empress Hao Tian. Have you prepared yourself?"

"I’ve brought four experts; there’s not much else I can do to get ready." Tong Airui gazed wearily out of the car window.

If the in-laws can pull through, all will be fine. But if they can’t, he might lose a wife in the process—it was already as clear as day!

Tong Airui suddenly recalled something his brother-in-law and Yak had said, and an inexplicable panic gripped his heart.

Then, his brother-in-law’s second sentence echoed in his ears: "Having a child born on the same day as Luowa could dissolve this crisis."

Before, he had scoffed at this idea, but now he couldn’t help but treat it as a possible lifeline.

In the car, Tong Airui started counting with his fingers. It was already late October; there was no way it would work now. That meant he would have to wait until next year.

Yuan Hang glanced at his fingers and teased him with a laugh, "What are you counting? If you don’t have enough fingers, you can borrow mine."

Tong Airui shot him a glare. "If fingers aren’t enough, I still have toes!"

"Hahaha..." Yuan Hang burst into laughter.

Tong Airui smirked faintly, "The weather in Northern Di is getting colder. I don’t plan to keep you all here for long, so I’ve brought some clothes for everyone."

"Whether we stay longer depends on Emperor Hao Tian and Empress Hao Tian... Luowa gave Kou’er some money a few days ago to buy clothes for everyone. None of us expected that, even as busy as she is, she’d still be thinking about us."

"I have a feeling my wife grew up overnight."

"You’re not wrong; I feel the same way."

"I honestly wish she could go back to being the way she was in Red Valley—carefree and happy. But since then, she hasn’t had a moment of peace. One thing after another keeps happening to her."

"No kidding! One problem leads to the next. Just as life quiets down, Emperor Hao Tian faces such a huge issue. Kou’er and I have even privately remarked that, had we known it’d be like this, you shouldn’t have bent over backward back then to reunite Luowa with her parents."

Tong Airui glanced at him. "You should understand Luowa’s thoughts better than I do. If she couldn’t find her mother, there’d always be something missing in her life. Now that she has found them, no matter how tough it gets, she finds it worthwhile."

Yuan Hang sighed. "Luowa and I think differently. My parents died on the battlefield. I’ve accepted they’re gone, so there’s no use longing for them. Luowa didn’t know, so her desire to find them was stronger."

"That’s fate. I used to be the least likely person to believe in fate; I thought I could defy the heavens, that I could control the broader picture. But after walking this path step by step, I’ve realized there are things I cannot change."
