Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 785 - 655: Wife, Won’t You Please Not Send Me Away? (Part 1)

Tong Airui pondered for a moment, "What kind of business is he doing with you?"

"He placed an order for that shock absorber Luowa invented."

"Does he produce race cars too?" Tong Airui frowned slightly.

"He doesn’t produce race cars. He wants to modify trucks. I heard he undertook the second phase of the commercial district’s earth-moving project, but the truck shock absorbers aren’t very good."

Tong Airui nodded slightly.

Yi Luowa pouted, "Forget about all that. Second Uncle, tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for you right by the archway. If I don’t see you, I’m not going. Important things must be said three times, so let me repeat it again..."

Yi Weiyang sighed, "Don’t repeat it again, Luowa. I’m doing this for your own good. Just look at the kind of people getting off the ship. Someone like your Second Uncle is totally not presentable. Don’t let me embarrass you."

"You’re my Second Uncle. What’s so ’unpresentable’ about that?" Yi Luowa’s gaze caught sight of Huo Li approaching, and she waved her over.

Huo Li quickly walked over, "Why are you all standing here?"

Yi Luowa grabbed her, "Your job is to talk some sense into my Second Uncle. If you don’t, I’m cutting ties with you!"

"How is your family business any of my business?!"

Yi Luowa glared at her fiercely.

Huo Li puffed up her cheeks and looked at Yi Weiyang, "You, you’ve already treated Luowa like your own daughter for ages. And now, you refuse to see her off on her big day? What’s your deal! Let me tell you, if Luowa cuts ties with me tomorrow, I’m running away from home with Ming Duo!"

Yi Weiyang’s mouth twitched hard, "And where exactly are you running to?"

"If I tell you where I’m going, how does that count as running away from home?!"

Yi Luowa snorted, "Right, do it exactly like that!"

Emperor Haotian walked over from the other side. Hearing his daughter’s words, he scolded her with feigned anger, "Luowa, watch your tone when speaking to your elders!"

Yi Weiyang chuckled and poked Yi Luowa’s forehead, "Even your dad can’t bear to listen to you."

Emperor Haotian laughed as he came closer, "Weiyang, your sister-in-law wants you to go check out the formal suit she customized for you. It’s a matching set with mine. Have a look. If you don’t like it, you can wear the one your sister-in-law prepared for you."

"Come on, I’ll go with you to try it on." Huo Li grabbed Yi Weiyang and began pulling him along.

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and smiled, "My Second Uncle really does have someone to keep him in line. Otherwise, he’d probably think he’s invincible. Imagine daring not to walk the red carpet with me."

Emperor Haotian reached out and tapped her on the forehead, "Can’t you speak nicely to your Second Uncle? What kind of child are you?!"

Yi Luowa yelped in pain, "Dad—! You and my Second Uncle both keep poking the same spot; it’s killing me!"

Emperor Haotian softened and raised his hand, but before he could even touch his daughter’s forehead, Tong Airui had already tenderly begun massaging it for her.

"See? My husband’s the one who actually cares about me!" Yi Luowa grumbled as she clung to Tong Airui’s waist.

Emperor Haotian laughed, "You! You’re already a mother of three, but you still act like a little kid... Airui, all the guests have arrived. Shouldn’t our yacht get underway now?"

"Departure is scheduled for ten o’clock sharp. At noon, we’ll have lunch in the Southern Ocean."

Emperor Haotian glanced at the time, "It’s almost time to set sail. Let’s not just stand around on the deck."

"Alright, I’ll take Luowa back first, then I’ll go greet the guests. You head to the main hall; my dad’s there."

"Doo-doo... doo-doo..."

Emperor Haotian and Tong Airui’s phones rang simultaneously.

Yi Luowa suddenly grew anxious. Two calls at the same time at this moment—could something have gone wrong?

After listening to the caller, Tong Airui said in a calm but firm voice, "Got it. Deploy the destroyer to drive them off."

Emperor Haotian frowned and said, "Have the fighter jets take off and escort the yacht."

Yi Luowa stared at them with wide, anxious eyes. She waited for them to hang up their phones before pressing urgently, "What happened?"

"Ten merchant ships have blocked our route," Tong Airui said, smiling as he tousled her hair. "Don’t worry, we’ll just drive them away."

Yi Luowa furrowed her brows slightly, "How far are those ten merchant ships from us?"

Tong Airui raised an eyebrow, "Less than ten nautical miles from the Xiawu Sea Region, and standing still."

"Do you think there’s something suspicious about this?"

Emperor Haotian chuckled, "Don’t worry. With our fighter jets and warships, a dozen ships are nothing to be afraid of."

"Still, it’s better to be cautious. After all, there are two or three dozen VIPs on this yacht. If something happens, the entire Fang Yao Continent will be thrown into chaos."

Tong Airui curled his lips into a faint smile, "My father-in-law and I have already made the best defensive preparations. We won’t leave the enemy any chance to succeed. In fact, I’d prefer for them to make a move—I intend to catch them all in one sweep."
