"Mrs. Meng, hello." Taotao reverted to her original voice, a quite charming sound; just by changing her expression, her resemblance to the original decreased from seventy to merely fifty percent. "Hello," Tang Yue greeted, her mind brimming with questions. Why would they go through the trouble of finding someone who looks like me? "My wife." Meng Siyu originally thought that just telling her would suffice, but as soon as he started talking, he found himself in a difficult position. Li Yi took over the conversation, saying: "Little sister-in-law, it's , I have some connections in Sea City, so, this family with the surname Xiang approached me, looking to cause you some trouble?" "The Xiang Family?" Tang Yue couldn't help but ask: "Is it Xiang Yazhi?" Among people she knew with the surname Xiang, aside from Lian Qingyang's biological mother, there was no one else. She had not an ounce of affection for Xiang Yazhi. "It's her younger brother," Li Yi clarified. "And how does he plan to trouble me?" Tang Yue kept questioning, apparently unfazed by this revelation. Xiang Yazhi dislikes her, she could understand, but how did she know that Tang Yue had come to Sea City? And even more so, why would she want to cause trouble? "This..." Check latest chapters at ⓝovelFire.net Li Yi fell silent for a moment, his gaze turned to Meng Siyu, as if weighing how much to reveal. Meng Siyu's eyes darkened as he said: "He wants to find someone to defile you, then take your photos, let everyone in Sea City know, and make it impossible for you to return to the Lian Family." His hand gripped Tang Yue's tightly, his gaze fixed on her as he said: "I plan to use his plan against him, but, I'm worried about you." "This matter concerns me, I should go too," Tang Yue pursed her lips: "If the Xiang Family wants to take me down, how can I let others risk their lives for me?" That girl called Taotao, she too looked delicate and petite. Taotao laughed sweetly, saying: "Mrs. Meng, please rest assured, I'm quite capable of dealing with a few grown men, no problem at all." Tang Yue instantly felt awkward, compared to Taotao's ferocity, she herself seemed much more vulnerable. Not to mention a few, even handling one would be difficult. In the end, Tang Yue couldn't convince Meng Siyu, but she changed into men's clothes and hid in the neighboring private room. Ever since Lian He knew that Tang Yue was also in Sea City, he couldn't stop thinking about finding her, but Tang Yue's aloofness that day in the alleyway also left Lian He rather disheartened. He wanted to acknowledge his daughter, which would require even more effort. They had just gotten married and came to Sea City, perhaps wanting to enjoy some time alone, a honeymoon period when affection runs deep, and nobody likes to be disturbed. Lian He knew Tang Yue was in Sea City, but he hadn't tried to find her, however, when he suddenly heard people saying that Tang Yue and Meng Siyu went to a bar, Lian He's eyebrows immediately furrowed. How could Meng Siyu take Xiao Yue to such a place? In a den of dragons and snakes, what if something happened? Lian He immediately contacted Lian Tong, who had more expertise with secret forces. Upon hearing about the matter, Lian Tong promptly dispatched two capable assistants to assist Lian He. He instructed them to protect Lian Qingyang secretly. Despite Meng Siyu's strong capabilities, no one could predict accidents. "If Mr. Lian truly wishes to acknowledge Xiao Yue as his own and have her willingly call him 'Dad,' what you need to do is not shower Xiao Yue with money, but warm her with paternal affection." Meng Siyu's words once again surfaced in his mind. Lian He gazed out at the night, and couldn't help but wonder if he had really made a mistake. In the bar, the lighting was also flickering, the colorful lights making it feel as if one were in a dazzling world, while the deafening music awakened the musical cells in the body. Watching people swaying in the dance floor, Tang Yue felt an urge to dance. "Little sister-in-law, over here." Li Yi stood guard by Tang Yue's side, his gaze vigilant as he scanned their surroundings. Dressed in men's clothes, Tang Yue wore a black baseball cap that hid all her long black hair and covered most of her face. Her clothes were also black and looked very ordinary. "Mm," Tang Yue responded with curiosity, looking around. This was the first time in either her past life or this one that Tang Yue had this experience. She didn't speak; even if she did, no one would hear her over the noise. She quietly sat there, eating and drinking some non-alcoholic beverages. With the cold-faced Li Yi sitting there, no one dared to trouble Tang Yue. Not far away, Meng Siyu and 'Tang Yue' walked in, with Meng Siyu trailing behind, shielding 'Tang Yue.' They were directly under the lights and not too far away, so Tang Yue recognized them immediately. Meng Siyu and 'Tang Yue' sat in a booth, with 'Tang Yue' facing away from her. The clothes on 'Tang Yue' were also hers, and even the loose black hair looked somewhat similar to her own. If someone were to see them from the side, even a classmate might not recognize that this 'Tang Yue' was actually Taotao in disguise. Watching her sit in front of Meng Siyu and talk about something, Tang Yue felt a very special sensation in her heart. Li Yi kept a watchful eye on their surroundings. This bar in Sea City was particularly upscale and mixed. He needed to protect little sister-in-law properly; if anything happened to her, how could he face Brother Mo who always looked out for him? Tang Yue's gaze never left Meng Siyu since they arrived. After initially glancing over here when he first came in, he spent the rest of the time talking to Taotao, who was disguised as 'Tang Yue.' Even though he always seemed very affectionate, she felt that this version of Meng Siyu was somewhat distant. No matter where they were, Meng Siyu liked holding her hand. In a place , while talking to her, he might even take the opportunity to take liberties with her. But what about Meng Siyu now? He was being extremely formal, and even though he appeared close, his eyes always betrayed a sense of distance. Tang Yue's heart was bittersweet when suddenly, she saw a familiar face entering the door - it was Yao Shishi, whom she had bumped into twice before. Accompanying Yao Shishi were two other girls, who seemed like they were there to enjoy themselves. Today, Yao Shishi's makeup was thicker than the last time Tang Yue saw her, but her features were still very distinctive. Why was she here too? Tang Yue instinctively lowered the brim of her cap, but then realized that with her current disguise and cap, Yao Shishi certainly wouldn't recognize her. But Siyu... Initially disinterested, Yao Shishi's eyes lit up the instant she saw Meng Siyu. Tang Yue wondered if Yao Shishi would approach them and disrupt their plans. But soon, Tang Yue noticed that not only did Yao Shishi not approach, she led her friends to sit in a booth diagonally opposite, allowing them to see Meng Siyu without him noticing them.
