Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

After saying that, Si Yehan had Ye Wanwan hold onto his shoulders before helping her take off the tattered grass shoes and personally putting the new shoes on her feet.

After switching to the new pair of shoes, her feet immediately felt relief. Ye Wanwan dazedly asked, “Eh… why did you have this…?”

Lin Que interjected from the back, “That’s not all. There’s also clean clothes, skincare products, make-up, chips, spicy strips, lollipops…”

Ye Wanwan stared at the other bag containing the clothes and necessities; she was so moved that she didn’t know what to say.

Si Yehan said, “I came in a hurry, so I could only bring a random outfit. It might not be to your liking. If you don’t want to wear it…”

Ye Wanwan immediately refuted, “No way! I’d like anything you prepared! I’ll wear it, I’ll wear it!”

After these past days of trickery and swindling, Ye Wanwan managed to get her hands on a single room and hastily led Si Yehan there to spend some alone time with him.

In the end, Lin Que was left behind outside and had to listen to the other leaders endlessly rattling off that demoness’ evil deeds from these past few days…

“That demoness seriously isn’t a good person! You’ve gotta talk to your Lord!”

“That’s right, that’s right! The demoness is best at swindling and tricking people!”

“Exactly exactly! If you don’t believe me, ask the people around me! We’ve been screwed over thousands of times these past days!”

Lin Que: “…”

F*cking… why did I rush here with Ninth Brother in fear of something happening to her, spooked out of our minds…?

…

On the other side, the second Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan entered the room, she was forcefully pulled into Si Yehan’s arms before she could say anything.

This embrace clearly expressed his repressed unease and fear.

Ye Wanwan quickly patted his back with her hand. “Ah, sorry, I should’ve sent you a signal a long time ago, but I hadn’t been on the island for too long, so I didn’t dare to rashly inform you to come here and risk yourself before uncovering more information about the situation…”

“As long as you’re fine, it’s good,” Si Yehan replied.

“I’m fine! Can’t you see I’m perfectly fine?” Ye Wanwan exasperatedly asked, “Why did you come running here? It was too risky! What if it was too dangerous?”

“There’s no ‘what if’.” Si Yehan wouldn’t even allow a “what if.”

Moreover, if it really was dangerous, that was all the more reason for him to come.

“Yes yes yes, there’s no ‘what if’!” Ye Wanwan kissed him on the cheek comfortingly before proceeding to briefly explain the situation on the island to him.

“Based on my scouting these past few days, this island is where they’ve imprisoned all the leaders. This lousy island is in the middle of the sea and doesn’t have any reception. Plus, the surrounding terrain is dangerous, so there aren’t any routes nearby and ships don’t pass by it, allowing it to remain undiscovered.

“Throwing someone in this lousy place is equivalent to throwing them into an aquatic prison. They wouldn’t be able to escape regardless of how capable they were.”

Ye Wanwan sighed and continued, “Moreover, from what I understand, these leaders were left to their own devices after being thrown here and haven’t even seen the shadow of a ghost, let alone the person behind this.

“I really can’t figure out why that mastermind captured this many important figures from the Independent State and ignored them without interrogating them or beating them. What was their objective for imprisoning them like this…?”

Si Yehan’s eyes glinted and he asked, “None of you have seen the mastermind?”

Ye Wanwan nodded. “That’s right. There’s no one keeping watch over us here on the island. What is it?”

Si Yehan seemed to have thought of something but didn’t say it out loud. “Nothing.”
