Chapter 70 Another Price?
Chapter 70 Another Price?
Yan Huai walked slowly through the damp, hot soil, his mind on high alert: "System, what's the purpose of this smell?"
"Please explore on your own, host."
Yan Huai didn't expect to get any answers, but in reality, this question was a hint to him—it should explain that understanding the function of this scent was related to finding its origin and obtaining his identity and memories.
And so Yan Huai led Wang Mi through the dense forest, stopping and starting, and time passed quickly.
"Brother Xiaojue, why haven't we encountered any other prey after walking for so long?"
Hearing Wang Mi's somewhat dejected complaints, Yan Huai pulled his attention away from the surroundings. He turned his head to look at her and teased, "Could it be that you were scared by Mi'er?"
"Brother Xiaojue, this joke isn't funny at all."
Wang Mi turned to look at Yan Huai, letting out a soft hum. Her red dress became the only bright spot in the dense forest, but the tattoo on her right hand...
Yan Huai then noticed Wang Mi's right hand, which had no tattoos. He turned to look at her unsuspecting eyes and suddenly understood the effect of the scent.
In addition, the reason why the Wang family was not discovered by Wu Sansheng, or even by the outside world, may also be explained.
In this dense forest, there is something that can conceal the identities and traces of the Wang family, and the effect of this thing will not be discovered by the Wang family, at least not by Wang Mi now.
But then another question arises: why does Yan Huai feel a sense of familiarity with this smell?
A thoughtful look flashed across Yan Huai's eyes. He was pondering how to stay in this dense forest longer to gather more information and clues. So, the next moment, his gaze turned to Wang Mi. Wasn't this a ready-made excuse? Here it comes!
"Don't rush, we should meet it soon. Is Mi'er hungry? How about we process this gray rabbit first and give it to you to eat?"
The idea was wonderful, but the result of her inquiry left Yan Huai with a cold shoulder, because Wang Mi did not follow Yan Huai's routine at all. She looked up at the sky and realized that it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be dark in half an hour.
"No, Brother Xiaojue, let's hunt one more game and then go back! You have things to do tomorrow morning... Going back too late is dangerous, and if you don't get enough rest, it will also delay your other things."
Yan Huai, who was not far away, met Wang Mi's reluctant yet sensible gaze, and his expression stiffened involuntarily.
Is this still the arrogant and domineering Miss Wang from Wang Jue's memory? Shouldn't she have simply waved her hand and ordered Yan Huai to start a fire and set up a stall, and then made him sign a pledge that he wouldn't give up until he had hunted down the pheasants and foxes?
But what's going on here?!
Perhaps Yan Huai's incredulous expression was too obvious, because Wang Mi unconsciously felt a little embarrassed. She turned her body slightly to the side, her expression both proud and sweet.
"On the day I got the tattoo, my mother-in-law told me, 'You are my fiancé now, and I should put you first in everything. I can't be as willful as before, or you'll dislike me.'"
Yanhuai: "!!??"
"System, what did she just say...?"
"Host, she said you are her fiancé!" The system was very good at finding the key point.
Yan Huai: "......" System, you're fucking funny!
Wang Mi has been very dependent on Wang Jue since childhood, and the two have a very good relationship. Therefore, her future husband has basically been tacitly accepted by the Wang family. In other words, her fiancé is Yan Huai, who has now replaced Wang Jue.
It's one thing to deduce something from Wang Jue's memory, but it's quite another to hear it from the person involved!
Yan Huai felt bitter inside. He definitely couldn't admit to being Wang Mi's fiancé. He liked Zhang Qiling, not Wang Mi, so if this matter wasn't handled properly, he would be finished! He might not only fail to infiltrate the Wang family, but end up handing himself over to them!
It's not worth it!
