My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1044: He’s Sick
Ilid chuckled, "Truly worthy of being king’s child."
Ye Lu froze, it seemed that Third Young Master Jun had told Ilid about Yuanyuan and Yiyi’s origins.
"Mommy, which country did Daddy go to for work? We saw him today, and he looked very tired. Is he sick?" Ye Yiyi immediately asked.
Ye Lu was even more startled, "You saw him?"
Seeing her cold demeanor, Ye Yuan felt puzzled. Previously, when they were in Ilid’s country, her relationship with that man was quite good, but now the atmosphere seemed somewhat strange.
"We ran into him during a layover in T country in Southeast Asia," he added.
"I’m not too sure," Ye Lu was confused. T country? That was a small country with a rather chaotic political situation, a troubled area afflicted by warfare.
What Third Young Master Jun was doing there was a mystery, as she hadn’t heard of any major events occurring in that country recently.
She thought about Feiyu’s serious tone, as if Third Young Master Jun was undertaking some fatally dangerous plan. Could there be someone there who posed a threat to him?
"Mommy..." the little girl puffed her cheeks, exclaiming discontentedly, "You’re Daddy’s wife, how could you not know where he went?"
Ye Lu was embarrassed; indeed, she had never inquired, nor did she care where he went.
"You said he was sick, how is that possible? He looked very energetic this morning when I saw him."
The little girl tilted her head, "Is that so? I don’t know, but when he held me, his hands felt a bit warm, like he had a fever. I sternly commanded him to take good care of himself, and he agreed. I praised him and kissed him three times, saying it was on behalf of my brother and me, and for Mommy kissing him; he was very happy and said I was a good girl, telling me to take good care of Mommy when my brother and I got back!"
A fever? Ye Lu remembered that last night, he had held her tightly, and his skin did indeed feel somewhat warm.
She had thought he was just a little warm from drinking too much, but it seemed more likely that he had caught a cold and had a mild fever, especially since she had run off alone from the square last night and he hadn’t come back for such a long time, with the wind on the square being quite strong.
"Alright, you two have been on the plane for so long and must be tired after your return. Go upstairs, take a bath, and rest well."
She hurried the two treasures upstairs.
Then she turned to Ilid and thanked him for bringing the children back, asking him to stay for dinner.
But Ilid laughed, "You don’t need to invite me; I will stay regardless, and I’m planning to stay here!"
"Aren’t you here on a visit, staying at the place specially prepared for you by the government?" Ye Lu exclaimed in surprise.
"This isn’t exactly an official visit; it’s just a pretext. Besides, how can I act as your bodyguard if I don’t stay here? Hmph, pity me, a prince, reduced to the role of a bodyguard." Ilid seemed somewhat disgruntled, planning to extort Third Young Master when he got back, to negotiate a few big deals for himself as compensation.
"Protect us?" Ye Lu immediately seized upon a key point, her heart palpitated, frowning, "Why would he specifically ask you to come and protect us?"
Feiyu was also staying here. If it was just everyday protection, Feiyu would be enough.
The fact that Third Young Master Jun had Ilid fly over to protect them meant stringent precautions against some formidable person targeting them.
But other than Jun Shi and Yiren being her enemies, who else could it be? If it was only Yiren and Jun Shi, Feiyu would be capable of handling it.
She felt an even greater mystery in her heart, sensing a massive conspiracy looming before her, yet she knew nothing about it.
"Hehe, I’m just joking," Ilid didn’t wish to speak further, king had said she was pregnant and close to giving birth, learning about those matters would only affect her mood and impact the baby.
