The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Nevertheless, Baili Jia Jue still stirred up a commotion when he appeared in the airport hall.

  No matter in ancient or modern eras, he was like a shiny beacon. His long, slender figure would instantly capture everybody's attention, even when he was drowned in a crowd.

  He had short silver hair paired contrastingly with solid black sunglasses and a pale, elegant side profile women could only dream of. Along with his handsome, chiseled features, all the people who came to catch their plane were misled to think some superstar had arrived.

  However, even a superstar might not have the aura of someone like him.

  He donned the season's latest trench coat and, coupled with his tall stature and slender legs, it effortlessly personified the refined elegance of high street fashion. When perceived from a certain angle, one could only see his straight, sculpted nose and perfect, thin lips.

  If you thought His Highness would carry any luggage then boy, were you wrong.

  Throughout the entire journey, as viewed from afar, one would see an amazingly handsome man idly stride by and behind him, Helian Wei Wei with her long hair and equally long legs hauling along a huge leather suitcase.

  Even Baili Shangxie could not stand him. Though he knew his Imperial Father was shameless, only now did he realize he had underestimated its severity. He even made his Imperial Mother carry their luggage!

  Baili Jia Jue did not care about his son's opinions. To him, ordering Helian Wei Wei around was a fun way to pass time, since this implied that he would be free to do other things in the meantime.

  For example, while she carried their luggage, he could feed her sips of water.

  Just like how he took care of Little Phoenix back then.

  As Baili Jia Jue pondered this, his lips curved upward slightly out of Helian Wei Wei's field of sight. He used his slender fingers to twist open a bottle cap and casually handed the bottle over to Helian Wei Wei…

  Helian Wei Wei was none the wiser as she tirelessly lugged the suitcase along. There was no shortage of huffs and puffs from her. However, when she was thirsty, Baili Jia Jue would stop and let her have a drink.

  His Highness evidently disliked this place and the same was true for Little Baili Shangxie.

  Helian Wei Wei found the scene a little too hilarious. She reached out for His Highness' hand and yanked him close. "Is it too sunny?"

  "Yeah." Baili Jia Jue muttered in a cold, stoic voice, but it was different from how he normally sounded in front of other people. "There are too many people and the sun is also too strong."

  Baili Shangxie glared at his Imperial Father disapprovingly. As a demon with divine consciousness, how could he possibly be afraid of the sun? He could unmistakably just cast some protection over himself instead of being this pathetic in front of Imperial Mother.

  He finally knew why his Imperial Mother appointed herself as a bossy president now.

  Due to a certain somebody's shamelessness, which was much more audacious than he had expected, there was basically no other option.

  In certain aspects, both father and son were quite in tune with each other's thoughts.

  Baili Jia Jue slowly turned to face his son's direction when he noticed Baili Shangxie's glare.

  Those eyes were full of unspoken thoughts that could only be deciphered by the two of them.

  Baili Shangxie had zero interest in spoiling his Imperial Father's fun, thus he looked away and continued to roll up Little Qingchen's sleeves.

  Helian Wei Wei also found the sun's rays too strong, so she raised her scarf to provide some shade.

  Little Qingchen was even more simple-minded. He strode forward and used his small body to wholly shield Baili Shangxie from the sun. In one hand, he held a bottle of newly purchased chilled milk, which he handed over to Baili Shangxie to drink.

  The big luggage was just wide enough for Little Qingchen to sit on. Baili Jia Jue did not think twice before he fished Little Qingchen up with one hand and flung him onto the luggage. Then, he signaled Baili Shangxie to push it.

  I have never seen such a happy-go-lucky dad before.

  Fortunately, Little Baili Shangxie was very reliable, and as he was the scariest little master to roam the underworld, pushing a suitcase was a piece of cake for him.

  To prevent Little Qingchen from tumbling down, Baili Shangxie even cautiously crossed his other tiny arm in front of the suitcase, his cool little face etched with seriousness.

  Helian Wei Wei was left with only a small suitcase to carry. She could even carry it in one hand with no problem.

  Since they were disguised as tourists, they could not drive their BMW Tomahawk and sports car. S and the lot would have to wait in place for orders and only appear when summoned.

  Their accommodation had been booked in advance. It was not some fanciful hotel but simply a quaint local homestay, which would allow them to better understand Li City.

  Before Helian Wei Wei arrived, Young Master Tang had given her a doc.u.ment.

  Helian Wei Wei could only base her investigation's starting point off the location this university student was last spotted at.

  An international quality homestay of good repute.

  Helian Wei Wei believed this homestay would not pose any problems, but at least she would be able to obtain an understanding of the environment the university student was in before her disappearance.

  There were many taxis outside the airport and with a wave of her arm, Helian Wei Wei managed to hail one. She sat in the backseat with her two children.

  Baili Jia Jue sat in the front with his long legs, extruding an aura of nobility.

  The taxi driver's eyes sparkled at the sight of them and he narrated the culture and people of Li City as he drove and inquired, "I bet it's the first time the two of you are visiting Li City, have you found a nice place to stay?"

  Baili Jia Jue did not speak. He simply tipped his head over and gave him a pointed look.

  This one single glance shut the taxi driver up immediately.

  He did not know what this feeling was but it felt like his whole soul was being s.u.c.k.e.d out. Thankfully, he returned to his senses quickly. Both his hands were clammy with cold sweat as his heart clenched from unfounded fear.

  Am I dreaming? Why are this person's eyes r-red?

  Pleased with the silence, Baili Jia Jue's head pivoted back to face the front as he leaned an arm on the open window, staring at the scenery through his sunglasses. His silver hair whipped around in the wind to reveal his proud forehead that exuded a high regality. Regardless of any mode of transportation he took, all of his simple mindless motions were worthy of a photoshoot…

  Chapter 938 - To Live Together

  Although still frightened, the cab driver quickly regained his senses.

  Witnessing the situation, Helian Wei Wei chuckled lightly and began, "We already have a place to stay, but we still don't know how to arrange our itinerary."

  The taxi driver heard this and swiftly replied, "I know a good travel agency, you're a family of four so traveling on your own will be tedious. Instead, it'll be so much more convenient to join a travel tour. It's only 150 per person for one day, where you get to visit two destinations and transportation is included."

  "Oh? That doesn't sound too bad." Helian Wei Wei's eyes lit up and she broke into a grin. "Which travel agency is this? We'll take a look when we have time."

  The taxi driver was very accommodating. "It's right around the corner, I can take you there later. Thing is, you booked the wrong homestay, it's in the North Gate, while the South Gate is the most well-known. Shall I recommend another homestay for you? It's 80 per day, I'm sure it's much cheaper than the one you've booked."

  "There's no need. The one we booked is a family-featured room, the kids like it." Helian Wei Wei sounded like she was engaged in a casual chat.

  However, Little Qingchen knew that, given Pretty Wei Wei's personality, she would never have small talk with other people.

  The taxi driver did not pressure
them and kept a smile on his face. He seemed helpful and warm. "The traveling agency is right up front, you can have a look at their schedules, and if you like it, I can pick you guys up tomorrow."

  "You can pick us up? Do drivers pick up tourists too?" Helian Wei Wei raised her brow.

  The taxi driver responded with a laugh. "We're from the same company, we fetch tourists for free. Don't worry, everything is legal, and if you don't want me to send you, you can hire a car at the specified car-hiring spot. I just feel that you might face some problems since you're staying at the North Gate."

  Helian Wei Wei's lips parted into a smile, but she remained silent. She alighted the car and saw the local traveling agency in front of them. It looked credible and they specialized in travel groups.

  Many people were purchasing tickets inside and the prices were rather reasonable.

  Helian Wei Wei's thoughts had been occupied ever since she stepped into the travel agency. According to Young Master Tang's doc.u.ments, it was vaguely mentioned that the missing university student had registered herself at this travel agency before.

  This person had been missing for a long time, so it was safe to assume there was not an optimistic outcome for a case like this.

  It's just, why did she go missing?

  And where did she go missing?

  These mysteries remained unsolved.

  The people in Li City gave the simple explanation that nowadays, many university students want low-budget vacations, so many of them just go missing unintentionally. Some avoided paying for tickets and used shortcuts to cut through a hill only to never emerge again.

  Yes, these explanations were plausible.

  However, Helian Wei Wei grew more and more puzzled, as this missing university student was not a low-budget traveler. Although she booked a youth tour, her room was fully featured so the price was not cheap. Furthermore, she had arrived directly by plane and had even booked a group tour. So based on all these facts, these kinds of accidents should not have happened to her.

  The university student's family held the same thought, so they kept on badgering Li City to give an acceptable answer.

  They did give an explanation, but it was far more infuriating than the first one.

  It was mostly about how the girl had been enamored after arriving at Li City, so she wanted to have a sweet relationship but ended up getting trafficked, et cetera.

  The mainland had always been like this, where not many people respected women.

  All the bullsh*t a girl had to put up with.

  If a lady dressed up at night, they would pass it off as a consensual relationship. After all, she must be asking for it.

  To hell with the consensus.

  A girl dresses up to please herself. So why on earth does a pretty girl have to deal with all this f*ckery?

  She could empathize with the girl's family, as no mother would want her daughter to be slandered like that.

  Her daughter was clearly the victim, yet people still sullied her name like this even after this unfortunate incident. Even the explanations given were so pathetic.

  Helian Wei Wei lost her mother when she was just a child, so when she read about a mother who commuted tirelessly between Li City and Beijing just to seek answers about her daughter, Helian Wei Wei made up her mind right away that she must give her the perfect closure she deserved, even though the truth might hurt her more.

  However, Helian Wei Wei was aware that sometimes, as a mother you just want to know what truly happened to your daughter.

  As she pondered this, Helian Wei Wei shut her eyes. When she opened them again, they sparkled with renewed determination. Before she could even arrive at the travel agency counter, an enthusiastic tour guide stopped her to offer any help she might need.

  Since they were now tourists, they had to inquire about popular destinations. Luckily, Helian Wei Wei was very straightforward and with no more than two to three questions, she was done with the inquiry. She did not waste a minute more.

  The tour guide patiently answered all her questions.

  After Helian Wei Wei was satisfied, she replied, "Let me think about it. I'll contact you if I'm interested tomorrow."

  "Sure, no problem. Here, please take my business card." The tour guide handed his card to Helian Wei Wei and greeted the driver as they exited, making it clear that they were acquainted.

  The taxi driver glanced at Helian Wei Wei from his rearview mirror as he spoke, "What did I tell you, we're all from the same company, everything's totally proper, don't worry about it."

  Only Helian Wei Wei had alighted to obtain information, while the two children and His Highness remained seated in the car, paying absolutely no attention to a single word the driver spouted.

  It was only when they reached their accommodation that Baili Shangxie finally gave the driver an ominous grin as if he was a meal ready to be devoured.

  When Baili Jia Jue saw this, it clicked to him that it was about time his elder son got hungry. He picked the small child up and said in a cold tone, "You want to eat everything, where are your manners?"

  The driver thought the child wanted the bread in his car thus he shook his head and chuckled. Then, he turned his head to face Helian Wei Wei and told her to contact him when they had made up their minds, so that he could fetch them tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.

  Helian Wei Wei replied with a succinct "Okay."

  After this, the driver started his engine, preparing to drive off.

  Little Qingchen looked on from the sidelines and condescendingly shook his small head, thinking, If you don't leave now, the only thing left of you would be a corpse.

  What an ignorant driver, to dare ask the family of four to book a group tour.

  He could picture the fiasco that tomorrow would bring.

  Meanwhile, Baili Shangxie was not the least bit bothered by his food's escape as he coolly turned around to clutch Little Qingchen's hand in his. In the elder child's mind, taking care of his younger brother was more important than food…

  Chapter 939 - Her Highness Wei Wei

  After checking in, Helian Wei Wei hoisted their luggage upstairs, causing the people around to look at His Highness again with even more scorn.

  Under the scrutiny of everybody else, His Highness walked upstairs nonchalantly.

  In actual fact, the luggage was not something that Helian Wei Wei could not handle. If it was too heavy for her, Baili Jia Jue would not even let her carry it.

  His Highness was prepared to give Helian Wei Wei a very pleasant surprise at night for her excellent performance.

  Helian Wei Wei was still oblivious to the thoughts that ran through His Highness' mind. If she knew, it would definitely be hard to describe the emotions she would feel.

  His Highness' so-called surprises were usually frightening for Helian Wei Wei.

  As for the two little ones, Helian Wei Wei did not have to worry about them at all. The family room located on the second floor was a beautiful small loft. The room was very spacious with a primeval style, leaning against Cang Mountain. They could even overlook the ancient city below through the windows.

  The small leather suitcase in Baili Shangxie's hand had been conveniently picked up by Helian Wei Wei. He was now only responsible for leading Little Qingchen along, as he still wobbled a little when he walked.

  As the best brother in the world, Baili Shangxie was extremely attentive to Little Qingchen. He was so afraid of Little Qingchen falling over that he never left his side. His short legs strode forward and, just like a little gentleman, he turned around to hold Little Qingchen's hand as they marched up the wooden stairs step by step.

  From this, it could be seen that there existed a stark contrast between Baili Shangxie and His Highness.

  Baili Shangxie decided to sleep in the top bunk. In a flash, he was already on the bed, fluffing his little pillow neatly before helping to change Little Qingchen's clothes. He finished buttoning his shirt up and they were ready to eat.

  I
n the past, Little Qingchen had always put on his clothes by himself, so he could never get his cuffs right. Currently, he was sitting obediently on the bunk bed, extending his arms as Baili Shangxie helped him with his clothes.

  Looking at her two sons, Helian Wei Wei could not stop herself from hugging them and giving each of them a kiss on their heads.

  Little Qingchen covered his head with his two little hands. "Pretty Wei Wei, you're messing up my hairstyle. You can't just kiss a gentleman as you please, do you know that?"

  "I know, I know," said Helian Wei Wei half-heartedly as she kissed his little head again without any sincerity in her reply.

  Little Qingchen actually really liked it when Helian Wei Wei was this close to him. Nestled in Baili Shangxie's arms, the corners of his mouth lifted.

  As for Baili Shangxie, he finally regained the feelings he had felt before, vaguely remembering the past. Back then, he was still in his Imperial Mother's belly, holding his little brother and talking to him, as his Imperial Mother c.a.r.e.s.sed her tummy, looking forward to their birth every day.

  Of course, Helian Wei Wei also gave Baili Shangxie a kiss. She even gave him two kisses at once.

  Baili Jia Jue watched them from the side. Previously, he had been sitting on a wooden chair on the observation deck with a glass of red liquid swirling in his hand. After seeing Helian Wei Wei's actions, he raised his eyebrow.

  He set the goblet down and strode over to Helian Wei Wei's side, leaning close to her.

  His Highness thought, Looking at the current situation, after kissing those two little brats, she would then kiss him.

  Who knew, after kissing those little ones, she immediately went to put the luggage away, completely ignoring the man standing behind her.

  The light in Baili Jia Jue's eyes dimmed as he glowered at the luggage with so much hatred that he wished he could throw it out the window!

  The two little ones could feel their Imperial Father's thoughts. Seeing Baili Jia Jue standing there with his eyes narrowed, they erupted in laughter, taking delight in his misfortune.
