"Return to Mr. Mingtuo's side?"
The proposal completely caught Manranyama Sekiren by surprise. She couldn't even understand the connection between this and "Yui's path of life" for a moment.
"Wait...wait a minute..."
Manranyama Sekiren had to reach out and support her forehead. She suddenly felt a painful headache that felt like it would split open.
These unexpected events in the middle of the night left her at a loss.
Manranyama Sekiren was not adept at dealing with unplanned situations.
"Well, take your time."
Manranyama Sekiren's reaction seemed to be within Tang Mingtuo's expectations.
Seeing Manranyama Sekiren in such anguish, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he relaxed and sat down on the couch.
Take things as they come.
Tang Mingtuo knew that tonight, Manranyama Sekiren had no choice but to agree to him. There was nothing else.
It was only a matter of time.
While Tang Mingtuo waited quietly, Manranyama Sekiren's mind was working rapidly.
In her intelligence information, Tang Mingtuo had never formed cliques or established his own power. In fact, though he belonged to the Yan faction, he had always acted alone.
Now, suddenly talking about "joining under his command," what did it mean?
Was he trying to take advantage of this opportunity and transition into a position of management?
She couldn't figure it out.
Although it did benefit him in a way.
But in Manranyama Sekiren's understanding, Tang Mingtuo was not that kind of person.
She felt that, first, Tang Mingtuo was not someone who took advantage of the situation.
Second, Tang Mingtuo was not someone who was enthusiastic about participating in power struggles.
In her impression, Tang Mingtuo was a kind person who didn't want to get involved or create conflicts.
Therefore, she couldn't understand why the situation was like this now.
However, there was one thing that Manranyama Sekiren did understand.
That was, at the moment, she had no choice but to agree to Tang Mingtuo, besides herself.
Tonight, he took the initiative to come, which was relatively advantageous for her.
If she didn't agree to him tonight, the situation would be completely different if she were to find him later.
Thinking of this, she understood the reasoning.
But human beings are not creatures that can simply understand and execute.
There are emotions as well.
Only when emotions are in place, can one continue to carry out the tasks at hand.
For Manranyama Sekiren, she also had to consider her image and dignity.
After all, she was still Manranyama Sekiren.
What would others think if she returned to Tang Mingtuo's side?
Furthermore, even if she were to break away from Tang Mingtuo in the future, this incident would always have happened.
Things that have happened don't just disappear.
This memory may fade in people's minds over time, but it will never be forgotten.
At certain times when it is least expected, it always comes up again.
"Ah..." Manranyama Cang Lian took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
There's no need to think about it too much. It's a matter of life or death now. If my influence ceases to exist, then all these matters of face will also lose their meaning.
"After I take care of Bai Yaxin, Mr. Tang Mingtuo, I will belong to your command, but I have a question and a condition."
Manranyama Cang Lian, who had organized his thoughts, returned to his usual state. Underneath his calm exterior, there was an unshakeable will and a mind filled with strategy.
"Well, go ahead and ask."
A question and a condition were no surprise to Tang Mingtuo. In fact, if Manranyama Cang Lian had simply agreed without any hesitation, it would have made him ponder if this young lady had some ulterior motives that he had failed to notice.
"My question is, after my influence belongs to your command, will it also be under Mr. Yan's influence?"
"Well, of course. I belong to Mr. Yan, so my influence also belongs to him."
"Very well. And as for my condition, Mr. Mingtuo, I hope you can help me get rid of Bai Yaxin together."
