Sheng Yang was very calm. “Uncle, you don’t seem to know Academician Zhao well, but she seems to know my mother very well.”

“…” Kang Lixing held his breath for a long time. “My niece is all grown up. You must not need me anymore.”

Sheng Yang smiled and held out her hand. “Nice working with you, Uncle.”

Kang Lixing held out his hand. “You’re the first to dare negotiate with me. I’m always the one who negotiates with others.”

Sheng Yang remained calm. “If my mother doesn’t agree, you have to help me. Oh, and my second brother too.”

Kang Lixing felt as though his hand was hit by an electric shock. He said seriously, “Yangyang, don’t push your luck.”

“Uncle, I didn’t even ask you to help with Yi Juncheng if he didn’t agree. I was prepared to settle it myself.”

“…”

He wondered who she looked like with that look of feigned benevolence.

She was cute and mischievous like his sister. But her brains must be from Sheng You.

Chancellor Liao had told Sheng Yang that if she wanted to go to Lanca, she had to successfully obtain a graduation certificate from Imperial Capital University, which meant that she had to pass the graduation examination first.

She hadn’t studied for a long while now, but she wasn’t worried about the graduation exam at all. In contrast, she was already searching for information on Lanca.

But as Chancellor Liao said, the place was really impressive…

‘Nothing. Not a scrap of information.’

Sheng Yang repeatedly used her skills to check, but there was really no trace of the place at all. In the end, she only found a small piece of information in the defense system of Country Y.

Yi Juncheng knocked on the door and entered. Sheng Yang didn’t avoid him and just casually checked the information.

Yi Juncheng stepped forward and put his hands on her shoulders very naturally. He squeezed them gently. When he saw what she was looking up, his expression didn’t change. He was still smiling. “Going to Lanca?”

Sheng Yang turned back to him, her amber eyes extraordinarily clear. “You know it?”

“Yes.” Others wouldn’t be able to figure anything out from Sheng Yang’s current expression and would just think that she looked as calm as ever. However, Yi Juncheng was different. He could tell at a glance that she was impatient under her calm appearance, but he stopped in time and sat on the tatami mat beside her.

Sheng Yang came over and sat beside him like an obedient kitten.

But that was only an illusion.

Yi Juncheng pinched her cheek. “I just got here and you’re leaving? How very irresponsible of you.”

When he said this, his voice was low and seductive.

Sheng Yang let him distort her fair face, making her look like a little pufferfish. She looked at him with her usual frankness. “Didn’t you say you were here for the masked man so you came to see me as well?”

Yi Juncheng was speechless. Even Gao Feng didn’t believe this. Only she believed it.

Forget it. Yi Juncheng let go helplessly and turned his back.

Actually, he was not angry at all. At this moment, he had completely compromised.

After all, after meeting the little monster, when had he not compromised?

Ever since he met her, he had no principles left.

He could only resign himself to his fate.

But when Sheng Yang saw that his back was turned and she couldn’t see his expression, she thought he was really angry.

With a thought, a small look of distress appeared on her beautiful face.

What was she going to do? She wasn’t very good at coaxing people. It was easy to beat someone who was smiling into tears, but she was a little helpless when coaxing someone who was in a bad mood.

Suddenly, Sheng Yang had an idea. Seeing Yi Juncheng’s hand beside him, she reached out and hooked it with her little finger.
