Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Zhou Si gently swirled the champagne in his glass, a half-smile playing on his lips, and replied, "Don't worry, there was already a plan for a merger."

Xiao Zhi frowned slightly and asked again, "I know, but didn't you originally plan to clear all obstacles, completely control Lantes, and then merge them?"

Why has it suddenly been brought forward?

Zhou Si casually took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "Because... to catch fish, you have to use bait that's big and tempting enough to catch that cunning fish that's sunk to the bottom of the water!"

This was the last trap he set to lure the Bond family into.

Since they are accustomed to scheming, they act discreetly and without making a fuss.

Then he should take the initiative and throw out the fattest bait generously.

The bait must be big and heavy enough to make the Bond family even more envious and eager to pounce on it.

He refused to believe that, given their greedy nature, they would simply give up such a large, readily available piece of meat as Lantes without being tempted.

Xiao Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that he had clearly made up his mind.

But his worries hadn't completely dissipated, and he couldn't help but remind him again: "Take it easy. With such a huge benefit right there, if it attracts mad dogs to snatch it, who knows what kind of insane things they might do."

Think about it, those people are willing to abandon all principles for profit, and their methods are extremely ruthless and vicious, so we must be wary of them.

Not to mention, you are completely unaware of the other party's schemes, including when they will make their move.

That's too dangerous.

Zhou Si narrowed his eyes and calmly replied, "Their scheme is indeed still unclear; we can't figure out their cards."

But as for the timing, perhaps I can make a guess.

He paused for a moment, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, as if sorting out his thoughts. "Soon, it will be the 120th anniversary of the founding of Lantes."

With so many people around, and so many eyes watching, any opponent who wants to make a move will certainly not miss this golden opportunity!

Xiao Zhi's face was serious, and he asked in a low voice, "So, you don't have much time left?"

Zhou Si nodded slightly, without denying it.

Just then, Xiaobai strode over with a hearty smile on his face and called out loudly, "Hey, you two, stop chatting and come over for a drink!"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately stopped talking and walked towards Xiaobai in tacit agreement.

Lu Yanjue, Fu Sichen, and others were already sitting together, with the table full of wine glasses, various foods, and snacks.

Under the warm yellow lights, everyone chatted casually and drank heartily.

Xiao Bai shared some interesting things that had happened recently, while Shi Yi occasionally chimed in, eliciting laughter from everyone.

Later, Xiao Zhi looked up casually and found that Zhou Si and the other big shots were gone.

He looked around, puzzled, and muttered to himself, "Huh, where did everyone go?"

Xiao Bai chuckled and leaned closer, hooking her arm around his neck, saying, "They're talking, don't worry about them, let's keep drinking."

Xiao Zhi didn't think much of it when he heard this.

He grinned and quickly joined Xiaobai to become the leader of the kids, entertaining a group of little ones.

The two quickly blended in, and Xiaobai made funny faces, making the little ones giggle.

That evening, the celebration banquet came to a close amidst laughter and joy, and the house gradually returned to tranquility.

Shahruk and several elders of the tribe were quite drunk, slumped over the table, staggering about.

Fearing they might catch a cold, Marcy immediately ordered people to help carry them back to their guest rooms and settle them in.

Fortunately, the villa was big enough and had enough guest rooms, which was just about enough.

After carefully putting her father to sleep, Marcy quietly closed the door and came out.

She had just turned around when she saw Zhou Si waiting outside the corridor.

The young man, dressed in a white shirt and crisp trousers, held a cup of hot milk in his hand. With gentle eyes, he asked, "Is Uncle asleep?"

Marcy smiled and nodded. "He was too happy tonight and drank a bit too much."

I haven't seen him this happy in a long time, and neither have the uncles, grandfathers, and other elders in the clan; they're all beaming with joy.

Zhou Si said thoughtfully, "Perhaps for them, this is the true rebirth of their family?"

The same goes for you, doesn't it?

She smiled a lot tonight, her smile as bright as the warm sun.

I even saw her drinking!

She usually refrains from drinking, but tonight she was genuinely happy.

Zhou Si thoughtfully handed over the milk, saying, "Drink this to warm your stomach."

Marcy didn't admit it, but silently took the milk and drank it.

Then, she casually placed the empty cup aside, pressed her soft body against Zhou Si's waist, and wrapped her arms around him, her movements revealing her affection and dependence.

She raised her face, her expression slightly satisfied, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "Ah Si, I like my life now, everything is slowly getting better."

Our tribe doesn't need to hide away to live, nor do we need to bear so many deep-seated hatreds.

Now, the tribe has regained its former glory, and hope fills the faces of its people.

And you're here, you have to stay by my side forever!

good or not? "

When she said those last words, Marcy's tone was pleading, as if she was afraid that her peaceful life would be disrupted.

Although she spent the evening eating, drinking, and having fun with her family, playing and frolicking with a group of children.

But her gaze never left Zhou Si, and her heart remained firmly with him.

When he and Yen-jue quietly got up and left, she knew in her heart that they must have gone to discuss important matters.

It was an important matter that she couldn't interfere with.

Although her smile hadn't faded, a barely perceptible hint of worry flickered in her eyes.

Lately, she's had a premonition that a storm is brewing and something big is about to happen.

That matter haunted her like a shadow, making her feel uncertain, as if something was slipping through her fingers, impossible to grasp.

She felt inexplicably bewildered, her thoughts churning like a surging tide.

So at this moment, when she hugged his lean waist, she held it with extra force, trying to draw a sense of security from him.

Zhou Si probably sensed her unease, so he gently stroked her back with his large hand and then steadily put his arm around her as they entered the room.

He then closed the door with a click, shutting out the outside world. He pressed her against the door, gazing intently at her with a deep and firm voice: "You've never had to ask to be by your side."

Even if you don't say it, I will still do it.

Don't worry, I'll always be here. Even if you try to kick me out, I won't leave.

After she finished speaking, a gentle kiss landed on him, initially as light as a feather, carrying a comforting warmth.

He had originally intended to just try it briefly, but Marcy suddenly hooked her arms around his neck and wrapped herself around him.

Her lips responded passionately, her breathing quickened.

She rarely takes the initiative; she only becomes so unrestrained when she's drunk.

Therefore, Zhou Si paused slightly in his kiss and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you feeling the effects of the alcohol?"

Marcy shook her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, her voice trembling: "No, it's just that tonight, I especially want to have more of a connection with you."
