After entering the room, the group escorted Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo into the conference room to begin the meeting.

During the meeting, they discussed topics related to people's livelihoods, such as the construction of projects funded by various funds and the implementation of welfare systems.

Ling Luo knew absolutely nothing about these things.

She sat quietly beside Ye Xingxue, without saying a word to disturb them.

The atmosphere of the meeting gradually became both dull and tense.

The officials attending the meeting gradually began to break out in a cold sweat.

They had long heard that Ye Xingxue, though young, was not easily fooled.

After receiving news that Ye Xingxue was coming to investigate, they had made full preparations to deal with it.

However, seeing is believing.

Now, having experienced it firsthand, they realize that night snow is far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.

Ye Xingxue, having grown up in the center of power and having served on the battlefield, possesses an extremely strong aura despite his young age.

His gaze swept across the area, and a sense of oppression immediately arose.

He seemed to have come prepared this time, and he was very meticulous. Every loophole that appeared in their work reports was easily covered up by Ye Xingxue after they finished reporting.

He concealed his emotions very well, and they couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all. The group was almost suffocating under Ye Xingxue's relentless questioning.

The meeting ended an hour and a half later.

The leading official respectfully asked, "Does Your Highness and the Crown Princess wish to have dinner first, or rest at their lodgings for a while?"

Ye Xingxue paused, then looked at Ling Luo: "Would you like to eat first?"

Ling Luo didn't care and nodded, "Okay."

Once we arrived at the restaurant, the atmosphere in the private room was much more relaxed than it had been at the meeting.

Someone looked at Ling Luo and praised, "The Crown Princess is so young and has developed such a powerful training method. It's truly remarkable."

The others chimed in, "Yes, yes."

Ling Luo wasn't very good at conversation. When others complimented her, she would simply say, "Thank you."

She was a woman of few words, and even if others tried to offer more compliments, the conversation would quickly fall into an awkward silence.

After the dishes were served, Ye Xingxue put some food on Ling Luo's plate and said gently, "The seafood here is quite good, would you like to try some?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Okay."

Next, while chatting with the others, Ye Xingxue served Ling Luo food and peeled the shells for her herself, her manner intimate and natural.

When Ye Xingxue spoke to them, her tone was cold and distant.

Despite being the Crown Prince, he personally took care of Ling Luo in front of everyone, paying attention to her eating preferences. When he spoke to her, his tone would immediately soften, and he always had a smile on his face.

Ye Xingxue doted on Ling Luo in front of so many people.

Given the way Ye Xingxue treated Ling Luo, it would be strange if he didn't have a firm grip on the budding romantic feelings of the young girl.

Seeing this, everyone present was impressed by Ye Xingxue's willingness to go to any lengths to achieve her goals, but they also felt that Ye Xingxue's scheming was exceptionally deep.

After dinner, everyone escorted Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo back to their hotel.

After everyone left, they entered the room, closed the door, and Ye Xingxue's cold expression softened once more. She gently kissed Ling Luo on the lips, then smiled and picked her up, asking, "Luo Luo, are you tired?"

Ling Luo leaned against him and shook her head: "I'm not tired."

Ye Xingxue smiled and added, "But boring?"

"Um……"

Ye Xingxue hugged her and sat down on the sofa, smiling as she asked, "Does Luo Luo regret coming with me?"

"No, that won't happen."

Although it was a bit boring, it was the first time she had accompanied him to a meeting and learned about his work, which she found very novel.

Besides, it feels good to be with him.

For her, there was nothing to regret.

Hearing her answer, Ye Xingxue's heart was instantly filled with joy. She gently kissed her and asked with a smile, "Don't you think it's a waste of time?"

Ling Luo sat in his lap, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There's still a little bit..."

An expected answer.

Ye Xingxue smiled gently again and said softly, "I also feel that it's a bit of a waste of time, so Ling Luo doesn't need to accompany me out all the time in the future. But if you have time, you can still come out for a walk with me occasionally, okay?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Okay."

Ye Xingxue smiled, picked up Ling Luo, and walked towards the bathroom.
