Chapter 572: Chapter 492 When You Are Sleeping In (Nine Updates)_2

"When you were having breakfast, your aunt and I finished recording and sent it to your dad. If we don’t manage to cheer him up, everyone under him will have to suffer."

"You really know my dad best."

Tong Yao sighed, "Has Rui’er called yet?"

Yi Luowa pouted, "No, he hasn’t. Aunt, did Youyou call Old Eight?"

"She hasn’t called either." Yan Zi furrowed her brows slightly, "Men’s hearts are just rougher than women’s. Look at you—stayed up all night, hardly slept, and Xuanxuan slept like a log, then walked out this morning as if nothing had happened."

Yi Luowa laughed and squeezed Yan Zi’s hand, "Aunt, you’re being unfair to Old Eight. He does think of Youyou, but he doesn’t dare express it in front of you, afraid you’d worry too."

"Sigh... When she’s around, I find her noisy. But now that she’s gone, my heart feels empty."

"Whoever you care about, you just end up worrying about." Tong Yao shook her head helplessly.

Yi Luowa pouted again, picked up her phone and glanced at it, thinking to herself, "Come on, one of you call already!"

Suddenly, the phone rang as though she had summoned it, but, alas, it was an unfamiliar number.

Yi Luowa hesitated for a moment and then picked up the call.

"Luowa Jie, I just got this phone and you’re the first one I called." A slightly excited voice came from the other end—it was Danton.

Yi Luowa’s mood instantly brightened, "Did you buy one of our phones? If it’s not a Zhuoyuan phone, I’ll be mad at you."

"It’s definitely Zhuoyuan." Danton chuckled, "When I get back, I’ll add you on WeChat, and then, no matter where I go, we can chat anytime."

"Sure. When are you coming back?"

There was a brief pause on Danton’s end, "I’ll be back in two hours. Luowa Jie, I bought some gifts for the two little ones, they’ll be delivered soon—have someone pick them up."

"You’re too generous."

Danton chuckled, "I really like those two kids. Even if I spent all my money, I’d still be willing."

"Your health isn’t great. Don’t stay out too long—come back early."

"Mm."

As soon as Yi Luowa hung up the phone, the butler came in with several people, carrying over a dozen boxes.

Yi Luowa’s mouth twitched slightly—this kid truly knows how to spend!

Two hours later, Danton arrived right on time, and he brought gifts for the whole family.

Yi Luowa joked, "If you keep spending like this, how will you afford to travel the world?"

"Worst case, I’ll go on foot." Danton sat down, massaging his legs as he spoke, "Little Fish brought me to the Alderich Building today. While I was there, I ran into Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law. They wanted me to stay for dinner, but I had to leave because Aunt Yaoyao said she was making soup for me."

Yi Luowa fluttered her long eyelashes, "When did you get so close to my mom and Fifth Brother and his wife? Calling them Aunt Yaoyao, Fifth Brother, and Fifth Sister-in-law like that."

"While you were sleeping in. If you keep snoozing, I’ll steal off with Sangyu and Ziyan too." Danton smugly looked at Yi Luowa, "Old Eight said he’s taking me out tomorrow—you want to come along?"

"That lazybones Old Eight got charmed by you?"

"I didn’t charm him. He saw how cute I am and took the initiative to buddy up."

Yi Luowa rolled her eyes, noticing him still rubbing his legs non-stop. She scooted closer, "Put your legs on the sofa, I’ll massage them for you."

Danton hesitated for a moment, then propped his legs up on the sofa.

Yi Luowa massaged him gently, "You can’t keep pushing yourself like this—you need to balance work and rest."

"When I’m out and about, I always sit if I don’t have to stand—just to avoid exhausting myself. Little Fish is even funnier; he said next time I travel, I should bring a wheelchair. But there’s no way I want to sit in one again."

"If you don’t want to, then don’t. Traveling is about enjoying yourself—let’s not do anything that makes you unhappy. Have the wounds on your legs scabbed over?" Yi Luowa tugged up his pant leg and, seeing that the wounds had indeed scabbed, felt relieved as she continued to massage him.

The act of tugging up Danton’s pant leg felt entirely natural, and he didn’t think anything of it either.

Across from them, Tong Yao glanced at the pair, chuckled but said nothing. She could tell that Luowa cared for Danton like a younger brother, and Danton treated Luowa like a sister—a sentiment visible in the occasional way he looked at her with playful, childlike expressions.

Danton pouted and looked at Yi Luowa, "Luowa Jie, I got ambushed today while I was out."

Yi Luowa was startled, "You got ambushed? Who’s bold enough to take you on? Are you hurt?"

Danton laughed and pulled out his phone, opening up photos to show her.

Yi Luowa took a look—the photos were of Danton surrounded entirely by girls. Smiling, she said, "Oh, so you were ambushed by girls! Did they ask for your autograph?"

"They did, but I told them I couldn’t write, hahaha... Luowa Jie, let’s take some photos together too—I want to send them to my parents to freak them out. Hmm... I’ll caption them: Danton & Nancy. I bet when they see it, they’ll dash straight to Princess Nancy’s quarters."

"Is messing with your parents fun?" Yi Luowa shot him a look.

"Not really, but I feel like doing it anyway. Luowa Jie~" Danton clung to Yi Luowa’s hands, shaking them back and forth.

Unable to resist him, Yi Luowa complied, taking photos together.

The Heavenly Emperor soon received the photos and immediately abandoned his official duties to rush to Nancy’s quarters.

The Heavenly Empress wasn’t far behind—she almost matched his speed and arrived outside Nancy’s chambers at the same time as he did.

"Did you see the photos Danton sent?" The Heavenly Emperor asked anxiously.

"I did. When did Nancy head off to Xiawu? I saw her just last night."

The Heavenly Empress hurried into the chambers, calling out, "Nancy! Nancy?"

No one responded.

Seeing no answer, the Heavenly Emperor shouted loudly, "Is there anyone alive here? Show yourselves!"

A maid dashed in panic-stricken from the door, "Heavenly Emperor, I’m here."

The Heavenly Emperor frowned at her, "Where is Princess Nancy? Where has everyone gone?"

The maid broke into a sweat instantly, "Princess Nancy sent us all out this morning. I just got back from the marketplace—I have no idea where she went."

The Heavenly Emperor asked grimly, "She sent you out this morning? What time?"

"A little after eight."

The Heavenly Empress knitted her brows, "Eight? That’s impossible! She couldn’t have flown to Xiawu in just three hours. So who’s in Danton’s photos?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Maybe they were from a past photo session with Nancy."

"He didn’t bring his old phone—this is a new number. How would he have Nancy’s photos in a new phone?"

"I’ll send someone to look for Nancy—you call Danton."

"I’ve called. His phone is off."

The Heavenly Emperor paused briefly, then rushed out the door, summoning his guards to search for Princess Nancy in all directions.

The Heavenly Empress sighed and glanced at him helplessly, "Don’t we have surveillance footage? Call and check where Nancy might be."

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head helplessly, "I’ve worked myself into confusion! I’ll call right away."

The call revealed that Princess Nancy had gone to the Peach Grove at 9:30 and hadn’t left since.

Upon hearing "Peach Grove," the Heavenly Emperor’s brows furrowed instantaneously into a steep ridge.

The Heavenly Empress pressed her fingers tightly, turned, and walked out of the chambers.

"Zhi Lan?"

"I’m going to see what’s happening."

"Zhi Lan, if you don’t like that child, it’s best if you don’t go. I’ll go fetch Nancy myself."

The Heavenly Emperor reached out to pull his wife back, but the Heavenly Empress dodged his hand.
