Chapter 879

Yi Yujian felt regret.

Ye Xingguang said, “In a few days, I will return to the underwater world, and when the time comes, I’ll bring a few back for you.”

“Why do you still have to go back?”

“Because I’ve set January 1st for my ascension to the throne, and the wedding will be held under the sea on the same day.”

Speaking of the wedding, she was quite looking forward to it. After the wedding, once she got the formula, the big tumor, as well as her dad and Xiao Man, would no longer have to endure the torment of suddenly craving blood.

“Sister-in-law, I’m afraid I won’t be able to continue with my job, I’m truly sorry.”

Yi Yujian smiled, “It’s okay, having a queen from one country work in the press office of the President in A country isn’t appropriate to begin with. Shi Ting is very interested in the underwater nation. He told me he hopes you ascend to the throne soon and thereafter, help establish diplomatic relations between our two countries.”

“That’s exactly what I think! After the ascension, I’ll visit A country in my capacity as the head of state. The temporary underwater federal government also supports this idea. The elders say that opening up is better than being closed off to the world. They support me in establishing diplomatic relations with terrestrial countries.”

Ye Jun Qing came over and heard their discussion. He sat down beside her, “Didn’t I tell you not to really become a queen?”

“But I think being a queen isn’t bad at all. All the reasons I had before for not wanting to be a queen don’t exist anymore.”

Ye Jun Qing furrowed his brows, “Do you plan to stay underwater for the rest of your life after you ascend?”

“Will you stay with me underwater?” She, of course, wouldn’t stay there forever. By asking this, she just wanted to hear his response. Women, after all, liked to hear sweet nothings, like ‘as long as I’m with you, I can stay anywhere with you.’

But Ye Jun Qing’s answer was resolute, “No.”noveldrama

Ye Xingguang rolled her eyes, “I know, I’ll handle my own affairs, and I won’t make you live with me underwater. Anyway, I’ve already decided on becoming a queen, and in my month underwater, I’ve also been learning how to deal with state affairs.”

Ye Jun Qing was unhappy with her insistence on becoming queen. It was all written on his face. He didn’t believe she could manage a vast underwater empire. All the ins and outs of politics were beyond what she could handle. She would be better off being a noble lady at home. If she wanted to work, the President’s press office was a suitable place for her—a nine-to-five job, simple and relaxed, mostly writing news in the office.

“Moreover, my brother has also encouraged me to be a queen. In this past month, he has taught me how to manage state affairs,” Ye Xingguang added.

Ye Jun Qing: “!!!”

He shouldn’t have allowed Xia Ye Zhao to stay with her, of all the things to encourage her with, he had to encourage her to get involved in the struggle for power!

Feeling irritable, Ye Jun Qing sat in the living room for a while before going upstairs.

He was dealing with some matters in his study. After about twenty minutes, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.

“Who is this?”

Over the phone, Li Yu’s laughter came through, “Congratulations, you’ve gotten engaged to my sister.”

Li Yu?

Ye Jun Qing put aside the work he was doing, leaned back in his chair, and chuckled coldly, “What, you’re upset that she and I are engaged? Is it so bad that you need to call and provoke me to feel better?”

“Ye Jun Qing, you think too much. In fact, even if you two get married and have children, I wouldn’t care at all. The successor of the vampire lineage has never caught my eye. Do you know why?”

Ye Jun Qing replied with a phrase, “Sour grapes.”

“Ha.” Li Yu reciprocated with a phrase of his own, “Ye Jun Qing, everything is fake. Maybe one day, we’ll have to fight side by side. However, I’m not looking forward to it at all, because, with your intelligence, you’re not qualified to be my teammate.”

After speaking, Li Yu hung up the phone.
