  When was it that a promise from her was actually more valuable than Yu Yuehan’s?

  Has something gone wrong with the King of Hell’s brain?

  Nian Xiaomu’s animated eyes were blinking repeatedly as she looked rather cluelessly towards Qi Yan.

  Qi Yan had his eyes narrowed as well as he sized her up.

  Scenes of Tan Bengbeng calling out her name flashed in his head.

  That call of ‘Xiao Mumu’ really made him go crazy!

  He had sent his men to search, but for a long time, there had been no news of this ‘Xiao Mumu’. Never would he have expected that this person would appear in front of him to ask him for a favor.

  It looked as if even the heavens were on his side…


  “Reporting!” Nian Xiaomu raised an arm and started questioning like a little student as she glanced at Qi Yan.

  “Can I ask you a question?”


  “You can. But, in exchange, you must answer a question from me too,” Qi Yan responded smoothly.

  Nian Xiaomu instantly sat upright on the sofa and pointed a finger at herself.

  “Have I really heard correctly just now? You want me to promise you one condition, and you’ll be willing to save Tang Yuansi?”


  “Yes. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to save him, but I’ll definitely try my best.”


  Once Qi Yan’s words landed, he immediately asked, “Who are your most important female friends?”


  Nian Xiaomu answered, “Shangxin, Zheng Yan.”


  She suddenly thought of something and looked down, her gaze rather forlorn as she added softly, “The most important should probably be Bengbeng. But, she’s gone missing…”


  Hearing the two words ‘Bengbeng’, there was an obvious change in Qi Yan’s gaze.

  It seemed to reveal a flicker of joy but it went by in a flash.

  The change was too quick that even Yu Yuehan had not managed to notice it.

  The name ‘Tan Bengbeng’ was so strange that Qi Yan could not possibly know someone else with the same name.

  If Nian Xiaomu was the ‘Xiao Mumu’ they were looking for, then he had to get a promise from her by any means!

  Hearing him ask her such a peculiar question, Nian Xiaomu wanted to ask the reason for his question, but since the chance to question was too precious, she suppressed the urge.

  So she asked, “Why me? I must remind you, I have no money. My last bit of wealth has been taken away by Yu Yuehan and I’m awfully poor. Also, I love my fiancé very much. I won’t fall for anyone who’s not as handsome as him… Although you’re only a little less handsome compared to him.”


  Am I getting cuckolded openly? Thought Yu Yuehan.

  On the other hand, Qi Yan was thinking: By being so obvious that he was not as handsome as Yu Yuehan, does this woman not want to save Tang Yuansi anymore?

  Qi Yan collected his gaze and muttered nonchalantly, “Because you have some value. Of course, you don’t have to be so eager to answer me. I’ll give you all a day to consider. At this time tomorrow, I’ll be waiting on the cruiser for an answer.”


  “Dream on!”


  Once Qi Yan’s words had landed and Nian Xiaomu wanted to say something else, Yu Yuehan’s face had darkened thoroughly and he had dragged her and Shangxin away.

  When they had reached the deck, Nian Xiaomu stopped and muttered, “Yu Yuehan, let go of me. You’re hurting me with your grasp!”


  Hearing her words, Yu Yuehan instantly let go of her arm and he then pulled her in front of him again.

  In a lower voice, he ordered, “I’ll think of another way to save Tang Yuansi, but you’re not to agree to the King of Hell’s condition. Do you hear me?!”


  “I didn’t say I was going to agree to it. I only…” Nian Xiaomu was going to add something else, but at the thought that they were on the King of Hell’s cruiser now, she turned her head to check if anyone was nearby.

  Seeing that there were no bodyguards around them, she was still contemplating deeply when they suddenly heard the commotion of a fight coming from the other side of the deck.
