At this moment, Li Wenli wore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Isn’t this just a beautiful dream?"
"What the hell, waking up and not going out." Bai Junjun was somewhat speechless.
Li Wenli, however, leaned down and ambiguously bit her lips, answering, "I was waiting for you to call... me."
Bai Junjun tried to push him away, but Li Wenli remained immovable.
"I kissed you, but you can’t let me take advantage for nothing. Come on, kiss me back quickly."
Bai Junjun looked at the foolish fox and could only think that this man might also have a love-struck brain.
Looking at this not-so-bright and disgustingly clingy fox, she really wanted to punch him.
Li Wenli, sensing Bai Junjun’s disdain, hugged her joyously into his arms, and kept on caressing her.
Feeling the missy’s warmth and softness, he finally sighed, "So all of this is real."
"?" Bai Junjun. What is this fox getting happy about now, out of the blue?
"I thought last night was just a dream." Li Wenli said as he slowly looked up, "Captain Polar Bear is always true to his word, you won’t go back on it, right?"
Bai Junjun glanced at him, "Who are you looking down on, whoever goes back on their word is a dog."
Upon hearing her words, Li Wenli’s smile widened completely. He reached out and pulled Bai Junjun to her feet.
No, that’s not right, why did she say that out of nowhere? The fox must have intentionally mentioned Polar Bear Base knowing that Polar Bears keep their promises!
"I don’t care, you’ve already said it. If you go back on your word, you’re a bark-bark."
Li Wenli, exceedingly smug, pulled Bai Junjun into his embrace and kissed her repeatedly, at this moment more like a dog than a fox.
Bai Junjun silently dodged for a while before Li Wenli finally pulled her outside.
The people outside had been anxiously waiting already. Seeing the two finally emerge, they suspected nothing amiss and immediately ushered them towards the living room.
In the living room, Lady Lin sat in the main seat, with Monk Shan Ci and Manager Qiao beside her. These two had already taken the best seats for spectators, so Bai Sasa had no choice but to sit in one of the remaining seats.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but wonder, "What kind of gossip is it that you need such a grand formation, is it meant to scare someone to death?"
"It’s not just about scaring to death, someone is already dead," Lady Lin said calmly.
"?" Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were puzzled.
"There are three things, strictly speaking, two."
"What in the world is it?"
"Don’t rush, here I go, first off, did you know about Prime Minister Lin going missing some time ago?"
Bai Junjun subconsciously nodded. She knew about it, the work of the fox.
But she couldn’t say that.
Aside from Junjun, Ah Dao and the rest also nodded. Rumour had it that Prime Minister Lin had colluded with the enemy and was caught by Yuwen Luanfei, though no one knew for certain.
Lady Lin lowered her voice getting to the heart of the matter, "Last night, after the Three Kings meeting concluded, the Empress Dowager also disappeared."
"?" Bai Junjun and Li Wenli glanced at each other, "Can it be?"
They swore they had nothing to do with that matter.
"How did the Empress Dowager disappear?" Monk Shan Ci was also surprised.
Speaking of which, among this group, it was Monk Shan Ci who was more familiar with the Empress Dowager, as she often invited him to the palace to recite Buddhist scriptures.
Even though Witch Ancestor Mountain had become the state religion these years, the Empress Dowager still had a deep faith in Buddhism, thus the two had exchanged many ideas.
Now, hearing of his believer’s disappearance, Monk Shan Ci couldn’t help but lament, "The Imperial Palace is the most impregnable place in the Imperial Capital. If the Empress Dowager disappeared there, there must be some hidden story."
