Qi Yan, Why Do You Look So Bad?

“What did you say?!” Qi Yan stood up immediately. She was so strong that she almost overturned the cup in front of her.

Her eyelids twitched as she walked to the side and lowered her voice. “Don’t be anxious. Tell me what’s going on!”

“The royal family suddenly announced that they wanted to streamline the members at this week’s event. We didn’t take it to heart at first. After all, we were third in line. Even if the royal family wanted to streamline the members, it wouldn’t affect you, Madam. We let down our guard and didn’t tell you. Who knew…”

Qi Yan’s hand trembled as she held the phone. She forced herself to remain calm. “Continue.”

“Who knew that your name was not on the list that was released today, my lady. Even, even… the crown prince’s name was not on it.”

This time, Qi Yan’s face was as pale as paper. She staggered and lost her balance. Fortunately, she held onto the sofa in time. Otherwise, she might have fallen to the ground and become a joke.

But even after she regained her balance, she still found it difficult to speak. “You said that my husband’s name isn’t on the royal list, either?”

“Yes, Madam.”

Seeing her extremely pale face, Qi Rongguang couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What happened?”

“I…” Qi Yan looked at him, her pupils trembling violently. She opened her mouth, wanting to say a thousand words to him, but her throat seemed to be stuck and she couldn’t say a word. The walls of her throat were about to burst into flames.

Qi Rongguang saw that she was in a daze and couldn’t be bothered to blame her for being arbitrary for touching Jiang Li without informing him and implicating Qi Lanyin.

He walked forward and patted her shoulder with concern. “Qi Yan, what happened? Why do you look so pale? Are you alright?”

Qi Yan’s eyes turned hot and she almost couldn’t hold it in.

However, she grabbed the phone tightly and avoided him. “Brother, I’ll talk to you later.”

Then, she pursed her lips and said to the person on the other end of the line with a dark expression, “We’re the third heir of the royal family. How could they not discuss such a big matter with us in advance? Go and find out what’s going on!”

She was still calm and collected. Before she hung up, she instructed, “Wait. Don’t ask the royal family about it. Don’t we have the media that we know? They have a lot of channels and connections. The royal family must be tight-lipped now. You won’t get anything out of them. Look for the media. They might know something.”

“Alright,” her trusted aide said cautiously. “Don’t worry, Madam. I’ll get right on it.”

“Mm.”

Qi Yan hung up and called her husband immediately.

Her first call went unanswered.

No one answered on the second ring.

Qi Yan couldn’t care less. She kept calling until the other party picked up.

Finally, it didn’t ring anymore.

Instead, the other party switched off the phone.

Qi Yan’s graceful face turned pale as she held her phone for a long time.

Her mind was wandering when her phone dinged, and she immediately grabbed it.

[I’m in the royal family’s room. I asked. My grandmother and the others said that you offended someone. Qi Yan, who did you offend?]

It was a message from her husband, the third-in-line crown prince of Country M.

The man’s text message seemed calm and composed.

However, Qi Yan could feel that the other party was almost unable to maintain his composure.
