Chapter 642 Garfield's Choice

Six hours later, Shen Lang and Ye Shishi returned to Nanling Airport, and then spent another half an hour getting back to the villa.

Upon arriving at the villa, Shen Lang immediately chose to relax, lying motionless on the sofa.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan picked up a clean towel, soaked it in hot water for a while, and then began to wipe Shen Lang's face.

"It's truly comfortable to be home, not only do I have a beautiful wife like Yuyan, but I also feel an unspeakable sense of security."

As Wang Yuyan carefully wiped his face, Shen Lang wrapped his arms around her waist and said contentedly.

"You, you're talking nonsense."

Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan blushed, shot him a glance, and said, "If your personality were such that you stayed with me every day, you'd probably go crazy in less than ten days."

"Yuyan, that's not quite accurate. I have no interest in wielding power over the world, but getting drunk and having beauties at my beck and call has always been my ideal."

Shen Lang kissed Wang Yuyan's red lips and said with a smile, "We've only been apart for less than twelve hours, and I've already missed you a thousand times. After rescuing Shishi, we didn't rest at all before rushing back."

"You really are like a child."

Wang Yuyan cast him a chiding glance and said, "Sister Shishi is pregnant and must have been frightened this time. You should have stayed with her and rested in Shu for a few days before returning."

"Yuyan, don't worry, I'm fine. Although I was a bit startled."

Ye Shishi said with a smile, "Last time I was kidnapped by the Killer Dao Association, a woman named Bai Niao and a man named Wu Ya suddenly appeared, saying they wanted me to disappear. This time, I was trapped in Tongtian Pavilion by the Tang Clan, and they showed up there too. However, the hidden weapons and poisons in Tongtian Pavilion were too formidable, so these two could only flee injured."

"All in all, it was a close call, wasn't it?"

"Bai Niao?"

"Wu Ya?"

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Are those people's names? How could someone have such strange names? But it's good that Sister Shishi is alright."

"Shishi, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Shen Lang's face grew serious upon hearing that someone had secretly attacked Ye Shishi, and he asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Ye Shishi said with a smile, "I've already found out that they've fled back to Nanling and are hiding in a hospital. I was planning to have Sister Jian go after them."

"No need to trouble Dugu Jian. I'll go myself."

Shen Lang released Wang Yuyan, stood up, and said to Ye Shishi, "Attacking you repeatedly, there's no need to capture them. I'll cut them down on the spot."

"Baihua Hospital, Ward 701, Inpatient Building."

Ye Shishi smiled and stated the location.

"Understood. I'll go and kill them now."

Shen Lang said with a smile, picked up the Yixi Sword from the sword rack, and strode out of the villa.

After walking a considerable distance, Shen Lang's voice echoed back, "Prepare the food and warm the wine for my return."

"That Shen Lang fellow, his personality is so impetuous. He does things as soon as he decides, without giving anyone time to react."

Hearing Shen Lang's words, Ye Shishi said with a smile, and then turned to Wang Yuyan, "It seems we can only cook and wait for him to come back."

"Alright, then we'll cook and wait for him to come back."

Wang Yuyan's brow furrowed slightly, as if lost in thought, and she responded to Ye Shishi.

"Yuyan, we've known each other for quite some time, but we've never had a proper chat. Today, it's just the two of us, we can talk properly."

Ye Shishi tied on an apron and said to Wang Yuyan with a smile.

"Talk about what?"

Wang Yuyan couldn't understand how Ye Shishi knew the hiding place of Bai Niao and Wu Ya, but she was more eager to find an opportunity to notify Bai Niao and Wu Ya to evacuate Baihua Hospital.

Wang Yuyan knew Shen Lang's strength. Neither Bai Niao nor Wu Ya could withstand the current Shen Lang. If they encountered him, they would only have one outcome: to be killed by Shen Lang.

However, Ye Shishi's eyes held a deep calculating gaze. Wang Yuyan predicted that Ye Shishi must have guessed something, and thus deliberately set this trap to corner her.

If Wang Yuyan wanted to save Bai Niao and Wu Ya, she would inevitably reveal a flaw, giving Ye Shishi an opportunity to exploit. But if she didn't save them, Bai Niao and Wu Ya would surely be killed by Shen Lang.

For a moment, Wang Yuyan had to admire Ye Shishi for devising such a venomous plan, a testament to her being the boss of Zhongzhou Bank.

"Yuyan, I'm not much older than you, there are many topics we can talk about, aren't there?"

Ye Shishi looked at Wang Yuyan and smiled, "Did you watch Garfield when you were a child?"

"Yes, I did. Why?"

Wang Yuyan smiled slightly and replied.

Ye Shishi tied her jet-black hair up high and said with a smile, "One day, Garfield and his owner got separated and he was sold to a pet store. Garfield was in great distress, worrying that his owner would miss him terribly."

"But one morning, his owner, Jon, walked into the pet store. The owner asked him what kind of pet he needed. Jon saw Garfield and happily bought him back."

"Yuyan, what kind of story do you think this is?"

Ye Shishi asked Wang Yuyan with a smile.

"A very good story."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "A happy ending, everyone's happy, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's very good. However, at the end of the story, the world-famous fat cat suddenly said at sunset: 'I will never ask Jon why he walked into the pet store that day.'"

Ye Shishi asked Wang Yuyan, "What do you think this means?"

"I understand. Owner Jon didn't go to the pet store to find Garfield, but to abandon him and buy a new pet, right?"

Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up, and she spoke.

"Yes, that's right. Garfield was indeed abandoned, but he didn't say it."

Ye Shishi said, "For a cat to have such a self-aware ability to pretend to be oblivious is truly commendable. It's a pity that sometimes, people are ultimately human, not a cat."

"Isn't pretending to be oblivious a good thing?"

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "If Garfield doesn't expose his owner's intentions, all this goodness can be maintained forever. It's as if nothing ever happened."

"Do you think so?"

Ye Shishi looked at Wang Yuyan and asked, "Can such goodness still be called goodness?"

"I am not Garfield, so I cannot judge. Just as Huizi said, 'You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?'"

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "I like Garfield's choice, because it was a wise choice. It's a pity that sometimes, people are not as smart as cats."

"'You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?'"

Ye Shishi heard this and smiled, "You are not me, how can you know that I do not know the joy of a fish?"
