Since Xiao Yunting had already proposed to her and put on the ring, it was natural for Ye Lan to put him in the position of the clan husband.
Since ancient times, there has been no rule for the Xuanzong clan leader to marry out, only to be taken in.
So Xiao Yunting had to marry into the family.
But whether he knew about this or not was no longer important.
The die is cast, and there is nothing he can do about it.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand and used her internal energy to rub away the bruises, so as not to make her husband feel guilty when seeing them. Then she stood up and leisurely went to the bathroom.
When Xiao Yunting returned to the bedroom, he heard the sound of running water, and a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face.
He pinched the newly obtained ointment, thinking about how to explain to Ye Lan his madness that almost lost control last night, and how to comfort her if she disliked this behavior...
Before she could come up with a good solution, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. After a while, the glass door opened and Ye Lan came out with wet long hair.
"Hmm?" She looked up and saw the man standing by the door. A trace of confusion rarely appeared on his usually cold and handsome face. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"
As she spoke, she walked up to the man, pulled him closer by his tie, and tilted her head back for a long kiss.
Xiao Yunting was stunned for only half a second before his big hands tightly wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms. In his excitement, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of violent emotion. He wanted to control himself and withdraw, but the girl held him down first, causing him to sink further.
The temperature in the bedroom rose a little.
When the two separated, Ye Lan was pressed against the edge of the table, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his body. Meanwhile, Xiao Yunting's meticulously crafted suit buttons were unbuttoned, his tie ripped, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, his eyes a deep, dark mass.
Ye Lan looked at him like this, curled the corners of his lips, and said with satisfaction: "I wanted to do this as early as when you grew up step by step in this old house, walking down the corridor every day in a suit and tie."
The boy stood up from the cage and truly learned how to survive as a human being. In just a few years, he grew rapidly into an outstanding heir of the Xiao family. His gradually straightened spine and steady steps were like a bamboo breaking through the ground. He was the type that would make Ye Lan's heart beat at first sight when he was young.
Fortunately, I have it now. Although it has lost the youthfulness of my youth, it has become more mature and stable, which is a unique feeling.
But upon hearing this, Xiao Yunting felt helpless.
He had discovered a long time ago that Ye Lan was actually more powerful than him. She often put herself in a dominant position and even looked at him as if he was in her pocket. She had no sense of dependence or belonging, but was more domineering and possessive.
However, Xiao Yunting always only cares about the results and not the process.
As long as the girl belongs to him, it doesn't matter how they get along or how they interact with each other.
Just as the two were about to discuss life in depth, the landline outside the house rang.
This is the internal call from the housekeeper.
Xiao Yunting stopped and frowned slightly.
Ye Lan slightly distanced the two of them and pulled up her yukata, "Stop making trouble, go ahead."
Any man would feel uncomfortable if he stopped at such a critical moment, so when Xiao Yunting went out, his face was gloomy, and he almost scared the housekeeper who came up to ask for instructions to his knees.
"Master, the person outside is from the higher-up. He said he must see you and Miss Ye." The housekeeper explained with a bitter face.
Yesterday he almost made a big mistake by helping Xiao Yu. Now he saw Xiao Yunting and Ye Lan wanted to walk close to the cracks in the wall for fear of being noticed.
If he hadn't had to, he wouldn't have wanted to come up and disturb them.
As soon as Xiao Yunting heard it, he guessed that the plane from Guou had arrived. He returned to the room, told Ye Lan, and then went downstairs first.
It turned out to be Mr. Han who came.
It was his first time visiting the Xiao family, and he did not feel tired from the journey. Instead, he was full of energy. Under the protection and supervision of a group of security personnel, he looked at Xiao Yunting with bright eyes.
"Mr. Xiao, we apologize for interrupting you, but he insisted on seeing you. We had no choice but to bring him here." The secretary who had been staying with the leader stepped forward to apologize. After asking for instructions, the group changed their route and came here. "The higher-ups said that Miss Ye can handle it."
"Yeah." Xiao Yunting nodded indifferently and did not intend to interfere too much in this matter.
Mr. Han, who was standing by, came back to his senses after hearing this, but his expression was still a little surprised.
At this moment, he realized that what Xiao Yunting said in the video last night was not to coax his girlfriend, but the real truth.
At this time, footsteps were heard on the stairs again, and the girl, who had changed into casual clothes, walked down the stairs calmly and entered the living room.
"Ms. Ye." The group headed by the secretary saluted respectfully.
"Yeah." Ye Lan nodded slightly, and his reaction was similar to Xiao Yunting's.
What surprised Mr. Han the most was that the auras of these two people were equally powerful.
He finally put aside his frivolous thoughts, sat up straight, and said seriously, "Miss Ye, I have returned to China as agreed. I will only give the design drawings of the old western-style building to you."
After recognizing the girl's identity and status, he finally revealed all his cards.
Ye Lan sat down on the single sofa opposite. He raised an eyebrow at the words and offered the other party a favor. He glanced at the secretary and said, "Confession will be treated leniently. I hope the higher-ups will also deal with Mr. Han's punishment appropriately."
The secretary received the signal, bowed slightly and responded, "Okay, I'll definitely convey your message."
Afterwards, Mr. Han handed over the overall design drawings of all the old Western-style buildings.
This set of drawings not only includes the manuscripts of the architects at the time, but also includes the feng shui layout of the building landmarks and the surrounding terrain, as well as the formations set up inside the buildings. Some of them even have underground tampering, calculating the future changes in the economic development path. Once the construction touches any area, this time bomb will explode.
Ye Lan drew the feng shui layout and the formation inside the building. Xiao Yunting marked the time points when the pattern was broken and the formation was triggered based on the information he had read, and finally came to a conclusion.
"This plan was secretly implemented a hundred years ago. Including in several famous wars, the bombing of these areas was also targeted."
He was a businessman, but also a conspirator with a keen sense of smell. He immediately set his sights on the mastermind behind the organization of the campaign and marked several places on the world map in one breath.
Finally, it was discovered by coincidence that these places were all located in ancient Europe.
"Interesting." Ye Lan looked at the highlighted national borders, his lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of interest. "Using our ancestors' things to set up an array and destroy the fortune of a coastal city, what do they want to do?"
Moreover, it took a hundred years, united so many enemies, and so many high-level officials knew about and were willing to cooperate with the implementation of this plan. No matter how you think about it, it should not be as simple as targeting just one city.
Xiao Yunting frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly a layer of murderous coldness appeared in his eyes.
"It looks like an experiment."
experiment?
Ye Lan looked back at him.
Xiao Yunting further explained, "Just like when I was locked up for training as a child, and then had my craniotomy opened to reshape my telepathic endings, all of this was just a preliminary personal experiment. If the results are positive, we can apply it on a large scale. If the experiment fails, we'll abandon it and formulate the next plan."
