Bab 171: Jaws of death

"What?... what's wrong?" asked Lin Ruoxi noticing her son was wiping his hands with a wet wipe like he was leaving.

Yi Chen ignored Ming Ming's pitiful doe eyes staring at him aggrievedly as he replied, "I need to do something. It's very important."

Marshal Yi who rarely spent time with his family these days reached for some shrimp and peeled it for Ming Ming to appease her. "What could be more important than a family dinner?.... Can't it wait until we are done eating?" he said wondering when Yi Chen had become so impulsive.

Unless if it was an emergency he wouldn't be easily rattled and drop everything without a second thought. Yi Chen's movements paused seeming reluctant.

He didn't want to tell the truth and if he did his father would definitely not let him go. His beloved was at a party with alcohol and various other temptations so how could he not accompany him? It turns out his decision to go was the best decision in his entire life.
