Chapter 1699 Xu Haiyan
- Chen Ce, Song Yanran, and Tong Ke exited the restaurant before making their way to the Lord's Mansion. Chen Ce was driving the Lady Lord's car, which had been involved in an accident and vandalized. Despite the car not sustaining serious damage, they felt it necessary to apologize to the Lady Lord. Additionally, Chen Ce's wife was arriving from out of town, requiring him to accompany her to meet the Lady Lord.
- Wang Yun, adorned in a blue embroidered cheongsam, warmly greeted the Chen Ce couple. Upon learning about the car incident, she remained composed and simply remarked, "It's just a car, as long as Miss Song is unharmed."
- Aware of Qin Heng's impending abdication, Wang Yun sought to position Chen Ce for a cabinet role before the transition. She understood that Chen Ce would be staying in the capital for the foreseeable future and aimed for him to integrate more with the city's elite circles.
