Chapter 229: Chapter 218: Afraid You’ll Feel Uncomfortable Later! (First Update)

Yi Luowa thought that Ni Lu was just seeking help randomly due to her illness. With Shi Qing’s quirky nature, how could she analyze what she was thinking.

Although that’s what she thought in her heart, Yi Luowa still smiled and said, "Aunt, honestly, I really can’t figure it out. However, I heard Aunt Li say that when she’s in a bad mood, she loves to shop. Useful, useless, she buys it all. She says as long as she spends money, she immediately feels better."

Yan Zi nodded, "I have that problem too!"

Ni Lu furrowed her brows and thought, "She really does buy more clothes than before, but she hardly wears any. When she brings them back, she says this one’s ugly, that one’s ugly, and then donates them all."

"The clothes she buys and donates, who would wear them!" Yan Zi shook her head helplessly. Shi Qing’s clothes cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. How could poor kids wear them?

Ni Lu sighed, "Who says otherwise!"

Tong Yao slightly raised her eyebrows but said nothing. Ni Lu’s attitude of helplessness just invisibly fostered Shi Qing’s problems.

Tong Airui, who had been listening, couldn’t sit still anymore. He also realized that both Ni Lu and Jack were dissatisfied with Shi Qing’s actions, but they couldn’t do anything about her. Such parents cannot educate their children properly.

"Headache." Tong Airui rubbed his forehead and looked at Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa, believing him, moved closer and asked with concern, "Why is your head hurting out of nowhere? Should we call Dr. Jin to check?"

"No need." Tong Airui shook his head, "Probably just haven’t rested well these past few nights."

Tong Yao glanced at her son. Whether her son’s headache was real or not, she knew better than anyone. He wasn’t fond of listening to Ni Lu and wanted to leave.

"Luowa, help him upstairs to rest for a while. If he still feels unwell later, call Old Jin and ask him to come and take a look."

"Okay." Yi Luowa responded, helping Tong Airui to stand up.

Yan Zi, full of smiles, handed her a bag, "This is a gift from your Aunt Ni Lu. Go upstairs and check it out."

Yi Luowa thanked her and helped Tong Airui upstairs.

As soon as they entered the room, Tong Airui pinned her against the door. Yi Luowa looked up at him, "Faking it?"

"Am I that bad at acting? Even Mom could tell I was faking it. Why didn’t you?" Tong Airui laughed and kissed her cheek.

Yi Luowa turned her head away, muttering, "I’m just worried about you! Stop fooling around! Someone might knock on the door again, and my heart hasn’t been great these days."

Tong Airui punched the door panel, "Wife, let’s elope?"

"Mars or the Moon?" Yi Luowa laughed and pushed him away, "Go lie down for a while. It’s best if you can fall asleep. Your eyes are a bit red from tiredness."

"Lack of sleep, internal bleeding." Tong Airui, defeated, released the person in his arms, "After I dropped you off last night, I didn’t sleep all night, just hugging the pillow and thinking of you."

Yi Luowa tenderly touched his cheek, "Then I’ll nap with you for a bit."

Tong Airui complained, "We can’t do anything, just lying down. It’s even more frustrating!"

Yi Luowa glared at him, "You’ve done just fine for twenty-four years without me. Why is it that since I’ve come, everything’s suddenly wrong?"

Tong Airui saw his young wife getting angry and quickly changed the topic, "Let’s see what gift Aunt Ni Lu brought. If it’s not good, return it and ask her to buy you another one. After all, her daughter offended you."

Yi Luowa shook her head helplessly, this guy was becoming more like his dad!

"I’ll open it for you." Tong Airui smiled as he opened the gift box, "It’s quite heavy... Haha, wife, come see if this is the one you saw at the jade shop."

Tong Airui held up the jade ornament for her to see.

Yi Luowa glanced over and quickly averted her eyes after just one look.

"Wife, why so shy? Come take a look; let’s learn from it too. The carving is so lifelike, whatever you want, it’s there." Tong Airui looked at the figures on the ornament, laughing uncontrollably, "This pose is quite challenging, let’s find some time to try it."

Yi Luowa rushed over, snatched the ornament, and swiftly placed it back in the gift bag.

"I wasn’t done looking. Why did you stop me?" Tong Airui asked, dissatisfied.

"Didn’t want you to feel worse!" Yi Luowa glanced around, opened a cabinet door, and stuffed the item inside, "Don’t display it, hear me!"

Tong Airui slumped back onto the sofa, dragging out his reply, "I got it——"

Yi Luowa walked over, pinched his chin, and shouted fiercely, "I’m doing this for your own good, and you still dare to sulk!"

Tong Airui pulled her onto his lap, "Wife, be honest, don’t you want to?"

Yi Luowa struggled to stand up but was held tighter by him.

"Tell me, and I’ll let go."

Yi Luowa stared at him for three full seconds, then raised her hand to tug at her large-necked shirt, exposing half of her fragrant shoulder, and Tong Airui was instantly stunned. What was she going to do!

Yi Luowa hooked her arms around his neck, her eyes hazy like after drinking, coquettishly saying, "Fourth Brother, I want~"

Every cell in Tong Airui’s body leapt with excitement. Luckily, he had self-control, or he would have pounced then and there.

"Wife... in broad daylight..."

Yi Luowa seized the moment he was dazed and stood up, adjusting her shirt collar, and laughed, "Can’t handle this, can you!"

"You tricked me!" Tong Airui reached out to grab her, but Yi Luowa laughed as she backed away.

"Come over, tease me and not want to take responsibility? See how I handle you!" Tong Airui got up and chased after her.

Yi Luowa ran to the far side of the bed and, seeing no other retreat, shouted, "Fourth Brother, your phone is ringing."

"Tricked me again!" Tong Airui laughed, advancing step by step towards her, reaching out to pull her over and push her onto the bed, following closely behind.

"Beep beep..."

"Fourth Brother, your phone’s really ringing." Yi Luowa reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

"A bunch of blind guys!" Tong Airui took the phone, saw the number from Yuan Hang, and answered.

"Master, two of our team members have been killed by one of Princess Katie’s boy toys!"

Tong Airui immediately lost his playful mood, rolling off the bed, "Did you catch him?"

"Caught him, but now Princess Katie is bringing people and has surrounded our camp. She wants the guy."

"Don’t give him to her! I’ll contact Emperor Haotian immediately. Hold him tight, and if they force their way in, execute the murderer on the spot."

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Tong Airui didn’t call Emperor Haotian first. Instead, he called his deputy, giving a coordinate and said solemnly, "Await my orders, ready to launch at any time!"

Yi Luowa sat up, watching his expression and hearing his tone. This was heading straight into a conflict.

After receiving confirmation, Tong Airui then called Emperor Haotian. Before he could speak, Emperor Haotian started, "Captain Audrich, I already know what happened there. I’m on my way to the camp now. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer."

Tong Airui, filled with anger, felt like he punched a pillow, full of frustration. Pacing the room twice, he finally eased up, "If I don’t have a satisfactory answer in half an hour, you’ll face the consequences!"

"Of course, murder demands justice. What Katie is doing is completely unjustified." Emperor Haotian’s tone was calm, but his face was grim and scary.

Upon arriving at the camp, Emperor Haotian departed the vehicle. Katie saw him from afar, frowning as she approached, "Brother, why did you come?"

Without saying a word, Emperor Haotian raised his hand and slapped her, "You tell me!"

Katie looked at him in disbelief. All her life, this was the first time he had hit her.

"You dare hit me! Did you forget the oath you took before Mother?" Katie, clutching her now swollen face, shouted at Emperor Haotian.

All of Emperor Haotian’s soldiers looked over. No one expected that he would slap Katie, whom he always doted on, in front of so many people.

"Because of a single oath, we’ve had civil war for over a decade. Because of a single oath, I’ve indulged you to be lawless!" Emperor Haotian roared, his eyes bloodshot, "Take her down!"

Katie stepped back and shouted, "Randy, don’t push me! Don’t forget, I still control Haotian’s military!"

Emperor Haotian coldly looked over. The soldiers, under his kingly disdain, involuntarily stepped back, "Katie, don’t force me. If you dare rebel, you’ll end up like Du Ma!"

Katie shook her head in pain, "You’ve finally trodden the path of harming your siblings."

Emperor Haotian laughed heartily, "Me harm my siblings? Haha... If I really wanted to kill you, did I have to wait till today!"

Katie suddenly drew her pistol.

Emperor Haotian’s guards swarmed in, shielding him within a circle.

Katie, with a bitter smile, said, "From now on, our kinship is severed. We are no longer siblings."

Katie, without blinking, shot herself in the thigh, "This shot is the testament of our severed sibling bond."

Emperor Haotian frowned as he watched her pants quickly stain with blood.

Katie coldly turned to the soldiers and said loudly, "Soldiers! Do you know the true identity of this Emperor Haotian you have always supported? He coveted his sister-in-law, for that vixen..."

The word "vixen" completely hit Emperor Haotian’s limit. His face turned solemn, raising his hand slightly.

The vice commander of Haotian shouted, "Take her down!"

"Who dares!" The five men beside Katie rushed over, surrounding her. Her loyalists also surged forward.

Both factions stood in a tense standoff, where the spark of battle was imminent.
