"Miss Qin, Mr. Yang, there’s something I need to tell you both in advance,"
Outside Huangyang County’s best restaurant, Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, along with Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao had just gotten out of the car when Mo Dexiang came up to greet them warmly.
After greeting the four of them, Mo Dexiang looked somewhat guilty as he glanced at Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei.
Yang Fei knew Mo Dexiang was doing this out of respect for Qin Yanyang’s presence and to watch over his Uncle’s family. Seeing his demeanor, he looked towards Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang smiled and said to Mo Dexiang, "Uncle Mo, you are too polite. I get along so well with Yinping; you don’t need to be so formal. Just say what you need to say."
Mo Dexiang gave a laugh, looked at Yang Fei, and said, "I have a friend who happens to be here. She knew I was hosting a banquet for you two and said she knows Mr. Yang and would like to meet you both."
Yang Fei was startled, "Knows me?"
Qin Yanyang also showed a puzzled look, "Who is it?"
"It’s Miss Tang," Mo Dexiang said.
Hearing it was a woman, Qin Yanyang gave Yang Fei a strange look.
Huang Qiaoqiao noticed Qin Yanyang’s brow furrow slightly, so she discreetly pinched Yang Hao’s arm. Yang Hao quickly looked at her, only to see Huang Qiaoqiao pouting and motioning towards Yang Fei.
Yang Hao immediately became tense, secretly glancing at Yang Fei, thinking to himself, could it be? His brother has such a beautiful sister-in-law, and yet he’s still out there philandering?
Mo Dexiang, unaware of the young people’s odd reactions, saw that Qin Yanyang kept asking and cheerfully said, "It’s Ms. Tang from the Southwest Tang Family."
At the mention of the Southwest Tang Family, Yang Fei’s heart sank. He asked, "Is it Sister Tang Qian?"
"No, it’s her sister, Ms. Tang Shuwan," Mo Dexiang replied.
"Her?" Yang Fei was taken aback. He had not expected it to be her and curiously asked, "You mean she wants to meet me?"
"Yes," Mo Dexiang said.
Yang Fei grew more curious.
He only knew Tang Shuwan by acquaintance, having met her only twice, once at Sun Weimin’s house in Binhai, and the other time at the old Tang Family home in the Southwest.
It was from Tang Shuwan that Yang Fei learned who his mother was. Although not very familiar with her, Yang Fei felt somewhat close and also thought Tang Shuwan was a bit mysterious.
When Qin Yanyang heard it was Tang Qian’s sister, she felt relieved, and even a bit embarrassed by her earlier thoughts.
What was she thinking, suspecting Yang Fei of being involved with another woman?
When had Qin Yanyang ever become so insecure?
She thought it might be because she recently rejected a request from Yang Fei, and so felt guilty about it, worried that Yang Fei might be upset, leading to her feeling somewhat insecure.
"Has she already arrived?" Yang Fei asked.
Mo Dexiang nodded, "She’s waiting in the upstairs private room. Do both of you find it convenient? If it’s not, I can let her know."
He was here to welcome the two and also to mention this matter in advance, to avoid any awkwardness when they met later.
"There’s nothing inconvenient about it," Qin Yanyang said, smiling.
Yang Fei also nodded, "Yes, since Miss Tang is here, of course, I’d like to see her. Let’s not keep her waiting too long."
The group headed upstairs where only Tang Shuwan emerged from the private room.
As the host on behalf of the Mo Family, Mo Dexiang’s role in welcoming Qin Yanyang, Yang Fei, and Tang Shuwan elevated his status within the Mo Family.
When Tang Shuwan saw them arrive, she stood up to greet them.
Yang Fei immediately called out, "Aunt Tang." Content originally comes from nοvelfire.net
Qin Yanyang, Yang Hao, and Huang Qiaoqiao followed suit in addressing Tang Shuwan.
Tang Shuwan smiled kindly, looking at Qin Yanyang, "Miss Qin, hello. I hope you don’t mind me inviting myself here."
Qin Yanyang replied with a smile, "Aunt Tang, you’re being too polite. Here, I am also a guest. Meeting Ms. Tang here is quite serendipitous for us."
Tang Shuwan commended her, "Truly a heroine. Qin Zhengfang and Duanmu Ling have raised a fine daughter."
"Thank you, Aunt Tang, for your kind words," Qin Yanyang responded cheerfully.
Tang Shuwan then greeted Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao.
Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao appeared somewhat restrained but were very polite as they exchanged a few words with Tang Shuwan.
After sitting down, Yang Fei said to Tang Shuwan, "Uncle Mo mentioned earlier that you had something to tell me, Aunt Tang?"
Tang Shuwan smiled upon hearing this and said, "I’ll tell you alone later."
Yang Fei was taken aback and then nodded.
Qin Yanyang and Mo Dexiang were also surprised, but since Tang Shuwan had put it that way, although curious, they refrained from asking.
The meal was just a simple dinner, and the conversation around the table didn’t much reflect the culture of drinking in Divine Continent.
After a satisfying meal, prompted by Huang Qiaoqiao, Yang Hao stood up, greeted everyone, and left first.
Mo Dexiang also got up and said, "Let me see you out."
Yang Hao hurriedly declined, but Mo Dexiang cheerfully ushered him out anyway.
The private room was now left with only Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Tang Shuwan.
Yang Fei looked at Tang Shuwan and said, "Aunt Tang, please go ahead and speak."
Qin Yanyang smiled and asked, "Should I leave the room?"
As she said this, she stood up.
Tang Shuwan smiled warmly and responded, "Given how close you are to Yang Fei, he wouldn’t keep things from you, so there’s no need for you to leave."
Qin Yanyang said with a smile, "Really?"
Tang Shuwan nodded, "Really, and moreover, this matter also concerns you."
"Oh?" Qin Yanyang said curiously, "What’s it about? I’m a bit curious now."
Tang Shuwan pondered briefly before saying, "As I understand it, you are now acting as the head of the Military Department, right?"
Qin Yanyang looked at Tang Shuwan in surprise and said with a smile, "Aunt Tang, you’re well-informed."
Tang Shuwan smiled slightly, "For ordinary people, this information is confidential, but for those within our circle, it’s an open secret."
Qin Yanyang nodded and asked Tang Shuwan, "So, the matter you mentioned is related to my position?"
Tang Shuwan replied, "It’s related."
She paused, then turned to Yang Fei and said, "The incident with the Overseas Sun Family two months ago, that was your doing, wasn’t it?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei’s pupils slightly constricted, and he looked at Tang Shuwan in surprise.
Qin Yanyang’s eyebrows also furrowed, and her gaze suddenly became sharp.
Tang Shuwan was taken aback by Qin Yanyang’s piercing eyes.
She hadn’t expected these two young people to be so outstanding. truly a pair of exceptional talents.
"Aunt Tang, how did you know about this?" Yang Fei suppressed his shock and asked.
His and Wang Lei’s visit to the Overseas Sun Family had been very secretive; only a few people knew about it.
Although the people of the Overseas Martial Arts World all knew that it was the ’International Madman’s’ revenge, who exactly acted had not been disclosed.
Apart from him and Wang Lei, only Sun Xingyu, who had been rescued by the Japanese Ninja, had seen them.
Was it Sun Xingyu who disclosed the information?
But how did Tang Shuwan come to know it?
What exactly is her identity?
Qin Yanyang was also very surprised, but she evidently knew more about this world than Yang Fei. Her thoughts racing rapidly, she stared at Tang Shuwan and asked, "Are you a predecessor from the Overseas Martial World?"
Tang Shuwan didn’t hide her praise and affection for Qin Yanyang, smiling as she looked at her and said, "You are indeed a clever girl."
"You flatter me," Qin Yanyang said with a smile.
"Aunt Tang, how did you know about this?"
Seeing Tang Shuwan admit to being a martial artist from the Overseas Martial World, Yang Fei was taken aback, but not excessively surprised. He just wanted to know how the news of him and Wang Lei eliminating Sun Luting and dozens of high-ranking members of the Sun Family had leaked.
Was it really going to be fully disclosed that she was ’Boss Tang’?
