Wang Yuyan turned her head and found that the person standing behind her was none other than Yu Xiao.
Recalling her conversation with Bai Niao and Wu Ya just now, and seeing Yu Xiao standing behind her, Wang Yuyan's eyes suddenly held a bone-chilling coldness.
"Sister Yuyan, what are you doing here?"
Yu Xiao, seeing Wang Yuyan, was equally shocked and asked.
"I wanted some coffee, so I came here to have some. The coffee here is good."
Wang Yuyan, unsure if Yu Xiao had overheard her conversation with Bai Niao and the others, suppressed her murderous intent and forced a smile. She said to Yu Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, what about you? What are you doing here?"
"Sister Yuyan, we have a geography practical class, so we're doing some experiments in the suburbs. Xiao Fei is thirsty, so I came to buy her a cup of coffee."
Yu Xiao walked up to Wang Yuyan and smiled, "Have you paid? I'll pay for yours too."
"Silly girl, you're a student. How can I let you pay for me? See what you and Xiao Fei want, and I'll put it on my tab."
As Wang Yuyan said this, she added, "It doesn't seem right for just you two sisters to drink. Let's get a cup for everyone. I'll drive you."
Wang Yuyan was a second-generation rich girl. She got her driver's license at eighteen, and her ride was the latest model Porsche, a bright red sports car that was eye-catching wherever it went, much like Wang Yuyan herself.
"Is that okay?"
Yu Xiao hesitated when she heard this and asked, "Sister Yuyan, won't that delay your plans?"
"Silly girl, what plans could I possibly have? I'm just out here to pass the time."
As Wang Yuyan spoke, she kept observing Yu Xiao's reaction. Seeing that Yu Xiao was calm and composed, without any sign of discomfort, she asked, "There was a woman in white and a man in black in the coffee shop earlier. I noticed they were acting suspiciously and didn't seem like good people. Did you see them?"
"Did I?"
Yu Xiao shook her head upon hearing this. "When I came in, I was looking at my phone, reading messages from Xiao Fei. I didn't see the people you mentioned, Sister Yuyan."
"Haha, then it's nothing. It was probably just my imagination."
Wang Yuyan was an intelligent woman, sharp as a fox. While Yu Xiao was speaking, she had been observing the subtle changes in Yu Xiao's expression. Seeing that Yu Xiao was completely normal, she knew that Yu Xiao hadn't seen Bai Niao and Wu Ya, nor had she overheard her conversation with them. She finally felt relieved.
As her anxiety subsided, the icy murderous intent in Wang Yuyan's eyes vanished. Her smile became pure and bright, and she said to Yu Xiao, "Quickly ask your classmates in the group chat what they want to drink. Once you've got their orders, we'll deliver them together."
"Okay, Sister Yuyan."
Yu Xiao, being simple-hearted, never noticed the change in Wang Yuyan's emotions. She smiled and took out her phone to ask her classmates what they liked, starting a chain order.
Five minutes later, Yu Xiao handed the order to the barista and then sat opposite Wang Yuyan. She said to Wang Yuyan, "Sister Yuyan, you seem very busy lately. I rarely see you. What have you been busy with?"
"Me? I haven't been busy with much. I've just been spending time with my grandfather at home, then going back to the Song Family Manor to tend to the flowers and plants my mother-in-law keeps, and also taking care of the fish and birds she raises."
Wang Yuyan looked at the simple-hearted Yu Xiao and completely relaxed. She said, "Xiaoxiao, you'll be taking your college entrance exams soon, won't you?"
"Yes, very soon. Only a few more months."
Yu Xiao said, "Honestly, I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid I won't do well."
"Don't be nervous. With your intelligence, you'll do well. Even if you don't, it's okay. Finding you a good university isn't a problem for me."
Wang Yuyan was a prodigy. She had completed her bachelor's and master's degrees by the age of eighteen. All the difficulties in the world seemed insignificant to her, which was why she rarely understood others' struggles and pain.
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Yu Xiao found herself unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Half an hour later, Wang Yuyan drove Yu Xiao to the practical training base of Nanling No. 1 Middle School nearby. While Yu Xiao was distributing coffee to her classmates, Wang Yuyan drove away and returned to the villa.
Back at the villa, Wang Yuyan changed into a white tracksuit, tied her ink-black hair into a ponytail, and began cooking in the kitchen.
When Shen Lang returned, Wang Yuyan had already set the prepared meal on the table.
"Yuyan, were you out?"
When Shen Lang entered and saw the table full of food, he didn't pay attention to the meal itself. Instead, he asked Wang Yuyan.
"Yes, I went for a coffee. Oh, and I ran into Xiaoxiao. She was having a practical class near the coffee shop, so I treated her and her classmates to coffee."
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang and smiled, "How did you know I went out?"
"Because there's a leaf in your hair."
Shen Lang took a leaf from Wang Yuyan's hair and smiled, "This must have come from when you and Xiaoxiao were delivering the coffee."
"Husband, indeed, nothing can be hidden from you."
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang with a surprised expression.
Saying this, Wang Yuyan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you found out who kidnapped Ye Shishi?"
"I went to the scene. Two security guards were killed, and the weapon used to kill them was a sharp, long thorn. It's a Tang Sect's Seven Star Thorn dart."
Shen Lang sat down, picked up the rice Wang Yuyan had served, and began to eat. While eating, he said, "If my guess is correct, the Tang Sect is responsible. However, we'll only know for sure after I speak with the Tang Sect."
"Tang Sect?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, a look of shock appeared on Wang Yuyan's face. She said, "You are now a hero of the people, supported by the masses. How dare the Tang Sect offend you at this time?"
"The people of the Tang Sect are eccentric. They always act according to their own whims. Moreover, I have deep grudges with the Tang Sect, so nothing they do would surprise me."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Their goal in capturing Shishi is to blackmail me, so Shishi will be safe for the time being."
"If you're sure Ye Shishi was indeed captured by the Tang Sect, what would you do?"
Wang Yuyan sat down opposite Shen Lang and asked with a smile.
"I've been to Sichuan once and infiltrated the Tang Sect. I can go again."
Shen Lang said, "Last time, I wasn't confident I could defeat everyone. But this time, I can."
Having said that, Shen Lang put down his rice bowl and took out his phone to dial Tang Wan'er's number. Soon, Tang Wan'er's lazy voice answered, "Shen Lang, you're newly married. Instead of spending your honeymoon with your beloved wife, you're calling me, your ex-fiancée. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"
