In Room 011, Xiang Hui, who had watched the whole show, could no longer sit still. He stared at the secondary mutation red tin ore on the stage with a gloomy expression but an enthusiastic look. He said, "The Chu family has indeed discovered a new method for processing minerals."

Xiang Kun, who had come to join in the fun, also widened his eyes in surprise. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "It's Fan Qi! I heard that Fan Qi finally bought the weapon he wanted for his custom mecha some time ago. It's a sword, all purple, and the shape is exactly the same as a purple mecha model weapon that Mingpin once sold!"

"I know." Xiang Hui's expression became more serious, and he said, "That mecha model weapon was made by Master Ren's little disciple whose identity is still unknown. If Fan Qi has a similar one, it should be Master Ren's work. The production of mecha weapons takes time, and the Fan family has already established contact with the Chu family!"

This is definitely not good news! The Fan family is one of the best emerging families in recent years. They have a wide range of businesses and a huge network of relationships. What's worse, the Fan family is in the auction business and they come into contact with countless rare materials every day. If the Chu family can help them find the materials that are missing from the flagship, the search speed will be much faster!

And once the Chu family’s flagship is successfully repaired... the Chu family has the strongest military power among the four major families. If the Chu family can repair the flagship, what will the Xiang family and the Wei family do!

Xiang Kun's thoughts were still on the words "the little apprentice whose identity no one knows yet". Suddenly a bold guess popped up in his mind, and he said, "Brother, could it be that native that is Mr. Ren's apprentice? His speed of learning mecha manufacturing is... very fast." In fact, it's not just fast, it's fast and good, which makes people jealous and unwilling!

"No." Xiang Hui glanced at him, his hand already touching the bidder, and said, "Before the festival last year, the president arranged for you to have a physical examination. I have seen the physical examination data of the native. He really had no mental strength at the time. Not only that, his body also stopped developing. He was truly a third-level disabled person."

"Stopped growing?" Xiang Kun was stunned. Thinking of Georgia's height which seemed to have not grown in the past year, he was surprised and asked, "Brother, do you mean he will only be this tall in his life? Even if he awakens his spiritual power, his physique is still S?"

Xiang Hui nodded. He didn't have time to talk to him about this anymore. He started bidding directly. No matter what, he had to buy this batch of secondary mutation red tin ore! He also had to dig out the new mineral processing method!

There were many people who had the same idea as him, including the Wei family in Box 055, the You family in Box 044, Long Baorou who was secretly watching the show in Box 077, and the leaders of large and small families in the Federation who were sitting in other boxes, all picked up their bidding devices at this time.

"Five hundred million, six hundred million...three hundred million...that's five billion? Has Box 011 gone crazy? The bids are so crazy, increasing by five hundred million!" Chu Yan was stunned, then smiled and rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's a fortune, Qiao, guess how much dividend you can get this time?"

Georgia was also confused by the madness of these people. She shook her head stupidly and felt that she couldn't recognize these numbers anymore.

In box 022, An Ting, who had been silent all the time, suddenly picked up the bidding machine.

"Brother?" An Lin turned to look at him.

"New mutant materials, all of which have special properties. The Federation has something that our Empire doesn't know about. We must bid for it and study it." An Ting began to bid, and at the same time instructed the servants behind him, saying, "Send a message back and say that new weapon base materials have appeared in the Federation, all of which are of special grade. Prepare the money, I want to bid for it."

The servant nodded and retreated to a corner to contact his family.

The numbers on the price tag kept changing. The auctioneer was eager to watch the fun and summoned the mecha to demonstrate the power of the two swords. He then played the promotional video he had recorded when he was selling the mecha model weapon giant sword. He smiled and said, "This is a model weapon made of secondary mutation red tin ore. You can see its power. I won't say more. The processing procedures for secondary mutation red tin ore are very complicated and difficult, and the stock is limited. If you miss this batch, the next batch may be next year."

So the guests' bids became even crazier.

Chu Yan was nibbling melon seeds, his tone deliberately indifferent, he shook his head and sighed: "How cunning, a set of weapons can be made in just three days at home, and Mr. Ren actually took out the double swords for advertising, what an old fox."

"Eat less melon seeds, or you won't be able to eat dinner." Georgia took the melon seeds in front of him and glanced at the sign that only 011 and 022 were left for bidding. He was somewhat numbed by the changing numbers on it and muttered quietly, "Who are these suckers..." Secondary mutation red tin ore is actually not that expensive...

Chu Yan obediently put down the melon seeds and picked up a piece of fruit. He didn't eat it, but just tossed it back and forth for fun. He said with a smile, "The one in Room 022 is the princess. I can probably guess who the one in Room 011 is. They are so crazy about minerals. It's not the Xiang family."

Xiang family?

Georgia thought of Xiang Kun, looked at the wildly changing numbers on the sign again, and her ears twitched.

"Damn it!" Xiang Hui bid again, his eyes slightly red from excitement, and said hatefully: "This group of ignorant imperial people!"

As he was talking, the internal communicator in the box suddenly rang. Xiang Kun leaned over to take a look, frowned, and said, "Brother, it's a request for dialogue from box 022."

"Rejected!" Xiang Hui answered without thinking, snorted coldly and offered again, saying: "The second mutant red tin ore must not fall into the hands of the empire. They sent a communication just to split it with us. There is only one set of mecha weapons here, which is not enough for my research. It must not be shared!"

Xiang Kun actually also felt that those people in the empire were annoying, especially the arrogant and ignorant princess, so he obediently cut off the conversation request from Room 022.

"The other party refused." The servant looked at An Ting who was still bidding.

Antin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and put down the bidder.

"Brother?" An Lin didn't expect that he would give up so easily. She was a little confused.

"We can't beat them." An Ting slowly closed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice: "This is the Federation, we definitely can't beat them. Now that we know the ore comes from the Chu family, as long as we catch Chu Rong, we will have everything. An Lin, you have to work harder."

An Lin frowned upon hearing this, but quickly relaxed her brows and nodded, saying, "I will, brother. I will definitely help you take the position of crown prince."

Hearing this, An Ting turned his head to look at her, his expression softened, he raised his hand to touch her hair, revealing the look of a gentle and good brother, and said, "Be good."

Finally, this batch of secondary mutation red tin ore was auctioned off by the Xiang family in Room 011 at a super high price of more than 10 billion, which was a real loss. After Xiang Hui got the ore, he did not even attend the evening banquet and left in a hurry with Xiang Kun.

Chu Rong, who learned of this, tapped the table with his finger, stood up, and said, "An Lin and An Ting will definitely stay for the banquet and make friends with the dignitaries of the Federation. Let's go. We don't want to join in the fun."

Fan Xiangnan nodded and walked forward to open the door of the box.

Because they were going to retrieve the two swords, they took a detour. When they reached box 033 near the corridor, the door of box 033 suddenly opened and two familiar figures walked out.

"Oh, it's boring. The Xiang family actually left." Chu Yan stretched lazily, with a look of satisfaction after watching the show.

Georgia followed him, patted her bloated stomach, and asked, "Are you still going to attend the banquet? The staff just said there will be a lot of delicious food at the banquet."

"Go ahead, why not? I'll take you to see the night view. Let me tell you, when you look at the starry sky from here at night, the scenery will be..."

"What's that picture?"

A cold voice came from behind. Chu Yan and Georgia froze and turned their heads mechanically.

Chu Rong stood two meters away from them, his face was dark, his breath was heavy, his eyes were slightly narrowed with murderous intent, and his whole body was filled with unhappiness and anger. A layer of materialized black air was almost emerging from behind him.

Chu Yan was so frightened as if he had seen a ghost. Thinking of something, he quickly reached out to open the door of the box.

But it was too late. Chu Rong, who had noticed his intention, immediately stepped over and stretched out his arm to block the door that was about to close. He glanced sideways into the box and saw that the trash can beside the table was full of snack packaging and fruit residues, and there were many snack plates piled on the table. He couldn't help but say coldly: "Ha."

Chu Yan's body trembled, and Georgia's ears twitched.

Chu Rong's eyes fell on the box door number again, and he read out indifferently: "033... Five billion to bid for a mecha, you are pretty good."

Chu Yan & Georgia: “…” They were caught red-handed. It’s over, it’s over.

"What did you have for lunch?"

Chu Rong suddenly changed the topic. He held Georgia's stretched ears with one hand and put the other hand on Chu Yan's shoulder, applying a little force.

"They ate steak! Qiao also ate lobster! They had a great time!" Chu Yan suddenly had an idea and came back to life from his stiffness. He quickly pulled out his invitation and said, "Second brother, Qiao and I were sent here by Mr. Ren. Look, this is the invitation Mr. Ren gave us! He said that Qiao is bored at home every day and should go out more. I thought so too, so I brought Qiao here. Qiao, do you think the scenery here is nice?"

"Okay, okay." Georgia wanted to nod, but his ears were covered and he dared not move. So he just looked up at Chu Rong, who was standing almost chest to chest with him. His eyes fell on his chin with difficulty and he said, "Chu Rong, I, I helped you make money. I didn't spend it indiscriminately, really." That batch of secondary mutated red tin ore, there was a lot of money.

As she spoke, she moved her ears tentatively in his palm, tilted her head and rubbed his palm, and said: "You like daggers, right? Then I'll go back and make you one! Well, make two, one for mecha, and one for carrying around for self-defense, okay?" As she spoke, she looked forward to it and became happy.

Chu Rong couldn't keep up his cold expression any longer. He frowned and looked down at him. He rubbed his ear and let go of his hand, saying, "I don't need you to make weapons. Take a good rest when you have free time. Don't eat snacks like this in the future. Eat well. Understand?"

"I understand. It's mainly because the snacks here are so delicious..." Georgia replied a little embarrassedly, and raised his hand to touch his stomach. He usually doesn't eat snacks, but today he did it without realizing it... It seems that it is not good to be greedy at this age.

"I'm sorry." He apologized quietly, then took out a box of packaged snacks from the storage ring and handed it to him, saying, "This is the most delicious. I'll give it to you."

"Specially saved for me?" Chu Rong's frown relaxed, and he ruffled his hair again, took the snack and said, "If you like the snacks here, buy some more to take back."

Georgia shook her head hurriedly, took a step back and looked up at his face. Seeing him looking at her intently and gently, her face turned red unconsciously, her eyes drifted, and she said, "No, no need to buy it specially...Are you here to attend the auction too? Are you going to attend the banquet later?"

Chu Rong nodded, shook his head, and then said, "I'll accompany you."

"Then let's go home. I want to go home." Georgia immediately said considerately.

"Then let's go back after seeing the night view?"

"good."

The two walked forward as they talked, leaving Chu Yan standing there dumbfounded, unable to believe, "Is that all?" No temper, no punishment, not even a harsh word, just, just all? Just so many clouds turned to clear and pink bubbles appeared before them to watch the night view together?

It turns out that second brother is so easy to talk to!

"Let's go and see the night view." Fan Xiangnan patted his shoulder, led him to follow Chu Rong, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the commander would be with Qiao... Get used to it, don't you think this is great?"

Chu Yan looked at him with bloodshot face, feeling sad.

What a bullshit! His current family status is probably not as good as the fat rabbits raised by Qiao!

The two brothers met halfway, so they didn't attend the party and went straight to a private room on the top floor of the hotel. They watched the night view while picking snacks for Georgia, and decided to have dinner here.

"You've eaten too many snacks. You should eat something light at night." Chu Rong turned the page of the menu in Georgia's hand, not letting him look at the greasy meat. He ordered some vegetable salad and porridge and said, "Only order the dishes on this page."

Georgia was in a good mood and thought everything tasted delicious, so she nodded obediently and ordered porridge.

Seeing this, Chu Yan angrily ordered a barbecue set meal and decided to choke himself to death - it's already like this and he hasn't made it clear, who would dare to believe it? How could the second brother be so incompetent at the critical moment!

In the banquet hall downstairs, An Lin looked around, but didn't see Chu Rong. She frowned and was about to pick up the communicator to ask the servant guarding the sightseeing elevator when she saw Long Baorou walking over in a green dress. She looked indifferent, as if she didn't know that she had attracted the attention of most of the young men in the room.

Pretending to be noble!

An Lin raised her chin and pulled the corners of her mouth into a disdainful smile.

The Federation was different from their Empire. The power in the hands of the president was very limited, and the president's daughter was far less prestigious than her as a princess. Long Baorou was just a commoner girl whose father could step down at any time. What qualifications did she have to act like a big shot in front of her?

Before, she was deceived by the other party because she was new here and didn't know much. But now? Humph, this Long Baorou doesn't even have the qualifications to lift her skirt!

"Princess Anlin." Long Baorou called out politely after approaching. Her attitude was gentle and reserved, and she was very diplomatic. However, her face was still expressionless, like a cold goddess, as if greeting her was a condescending move. She asked softly, "Princess, why are you here alone?"

"There are always people who like to come here and make connections. I just want to be quiet, so I'll just sit here for a while." Princess Anlin replied coldly. She raised her hand to brush her hair, revealing the gemstone earrings on her ears, and asked indifferently, "Besides, I'm not alone. The servants are still here. So what about you, Miss Long? Why did you come here alone?"

It's still "a person", but An Lin changed the meaning of the words.

The Federation believes in equality for all, and there is no such thing as servants. It is unlike the Empire which still maintains the idea that the royal family is supreme, with people divided into different classes, and when the dignitaries travel, they are usually accompanied by servants.

At first glance, what An Lin said sounded fine, but upon closer inspection, one could see that she was mocking Long Baorou for being a fake "princess".

The scene was quiet for a while. Seeing her bad attitude, Long Baorou knew that this useless princess finally reacted and stopped being fooled by her. She simply stopped maintaining the diplomatic mask, and said with a faint expression: "Princess Anlin, Chu Rong has left. It is a waste of effort for you to continue waiting. In addition, considering that everyone is still an ally for the time being, I kindly remind you that the guest in Room 033 is Chu Rong's younger brother Chu Yan. Master Shang is the teacher of Chu Rong's mother. What you did today has offended Chu Rong and Chu Yan. Finally, Georgia, who you threatened to teach a lesson, Chu Rong once included him in the protection circle of the Chu family in front of everyone in the federation. Now all the people in the big families have raised him to the same status as Chu Yan, and they dare not offend him easily. Just based on what you have done in the past few days, you want to enter the Chu family... Haha."

She ended the conversation with an ambiguous chuckle, then shook her head, looked at Anlin with pity, lifted her skirt, turned around and left gracefully.

An Lin was so irritated by her words that her face turned ugly, and the look in her eyes as she looked at her was almost dripping with poison.

When she first came to the Federation, she was not familiar with the situation in the Federation, and she did not understand what Chu Rong's temper was like now, so she collected some gossip to know herself and the enemy. Then this Long Baorou appeared, and was very enthusiastic, and gave her a lot of ideas.

Such bold declarations of love, deliberately wearing the enemy's military uniform to attract attention, provoking the people around Chu Rong so that the other party would realize that she was different...all these little tricks were encouraged by Long Baorou overtly or covertly to do her!

At that time, she didn't understand. When she was in the empire, she heard that Long Baorou had refused a political marriage with Chu Rong. She thought that she didn't like Chu Rong and that she must be sincere in giving her advice. She wanted to distance herself from Chu Rong and consolidate the alliance between the two sides. But she didn't expect that these were just illusions! By the time she realized it, she had already done a lot of stupid things!

Long Baorou didn't dislike Chu Rong. She clearly loved him to the core, but she couldn't let go of her status as the president's daughter to pursue him. She had no place to vent her twisted emotions, so she poured them all on her "rival in love"! Hateful and vicious!

She had carefully arranged today's auction in order to restore her image in Chu Rong's heart, but she didn't expect to fall into the trap of Long Baorou again. She had clearly heard before that Master Shang and the mecha manufacturing master hired by the Chu family were sworn enemies and were very at odds with each other!

“Damn it!”

She clenched her fists, her carefully manicured nails digging into her flesh. She finally understood what her mother had said before she left: "The Federation is full of traps." If she had known earlier, she should have brought the counselor recommended by her mother with her instead of traveling alone.

"Have you figured it out?" An Ting's voice suddenly appeared behind him.

She turned her head and looked, her face full of stubbornness, but her eyes were already red.

An Ting walked over, gently held her in his arms, pulled open her tightly clenched hands, looked at the federal dignitaries who were toasting in the hall, and whispered, "An Lin, it's time for you to grow up. When you've had enough of making jokes, just calm down. I will help you get back all the anger you've suffered during this period."

"Brother..." An Lin softened her voice and raised her arms to hug his waist.

"Hush." ​​Antin lowered his head, his bangs falling down to cover his eyebrows and eyes, and said, "A powerless daughter of the president actually dares to humiliate you like this. Don't worry, I will make her pay the price."

An Lin said in a muffled voice: "Brother, why didn't you tell me before? These people were lying to me. They are so mean."

"It's my brother's fault." An Ting coaxed her gently, saying earnestly, "But how can a person grow up without experiencing some setbacks? An Lin, I never told you before that this time when you come to the Federation, not only you have no way out, but I have no way out either."

An Lin was startled and tried to break free from his embrace. She asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Father gave you such an important mission. Doesn't that mean he wants to use you? We—"

"An Jing, my ears are coming." An Ting suddenly let go of her, helped her tidy up her hair, and said coldly: "If you can't even stand such a little grievance, what else can you do! Hold back your tears and don't embarrass me!"

An Lin was stunned by his sudden change of expression. Just as she was confused, she saw An Ting suddenly turn his head to look at the servant who came back with a glass of water. A guess popped up in her mind, and she felt cold from head to toe.

Ears? Could it be that these servants were bribed by those brothers and sisters with ulterior motives?

An Ting took the cup and put it in her hand. He turned his head and ordered the servant to bring some refreshments. Then, while helping An Lin adjust her necklace, he whispered in her ear, "Now that you understand, calm down. You are your father's most beloved little princess. Do you understand?"

The water was warm, but it couldn't warm Anlin's heart at this moment. She nodded numbly and tightened her grip on the water cup.

An Ting looked at the top of her head and smiled slightly - he wondered if those people in the country were satisfied with the "good show" that An Lin had been performing during this period. The incompetent princess and the self-righteous and irritable prince, there was no need to be afraid of them at all, right?

Georgia didn't know when the party ended. He only knew that the night view he saw tonight was intoxicatingly beautiful, and Chu Rong beside him was very gentle. He even received a gift from Chu Rong. In short, this holiday trip was very successful and he had a lot of fun.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed. Georgia secretly made a dagger for Chu Rong for self-defense. He used the last bit of star sand in his hand lavishly, and even tried to add a little bit of Xiao Hei's mother's snake shed into it.

He has discovered that although the value of Xiao Hei's mother's snake skin cannot be measured, it is indeed a very good material and has a strong dyeing effect. Chu Rong likes black weapons, which is just right.

On the day the dagger came out, Chu Yan came over with a bunch of gossip.

"I heard that the princess is sick and has been staying at home recently. Long Baorou went to see her a few times, but somehow she and the princess started arguing, which made the princess' condition worse. She insisted on going home. Now people are saying that Long Baorou is stingy and mean, and actually bullied guests."

"Long Baorou quarreled with the princess?" Georgia was surprised and couldn't imagine: "Long Baorou would quarrel with others?"

In his impression, Long Baorou was a very aloof and cold person, and quarreling with others was something that she didn't seem like.

"Who knows?" Chu Yan shrugged, then waved his hand and said, "These are not the main points. The main point is that the military academy will begin to test aptitude and recruit students in a week. The remaining students from the empire will soon set off. Guess who they are."

Georgia shook her head and left the gossip stage entirely to him.

Chu Yan was just talking nonsense and didn't really want him to guess, so he immediately said, "In addition to the twins, there are four students from the Empire coming. One is the king's nephew, the child of the Ning family's daughter, named Anita. I heard that he also has a federal name, Ning Kong'an, and he studies pharmacy. One is the son of some national teacher, with a single-character name, Jian, who studies history, but I haven't heard much about him. One is the granddaughter of Master Brendan, named Cha Mi, who studies mecha manufacturing. The last one is the son of General Netasi, the first mecha warrior in the Empire, who has the biggest feud with our family, and is named Jie Xiu. He studies mecha driving. I think he will definitely not get along with me after he comes, after all, my second brother defeated his father."

Georgia was confused just by hearing these names. She nodded stupidly and frowned, trying to remember the names and backgrounds of these people.

"No need to remember. When these people arrive, the president will hold a small banquet to welcome them. The younger generations of each family will go, including you and me. You will be able to meet them directly then."

Chu Yan raised his arm and put it on his shoulder, continuing: "Generally speaking, in such occasions, those neurotic adults will definitely let the younger generations compete with each other, and the ministers of the empire who sent their children here will also look for opportunities to 'show off the country's strength'. You have the least solid background, so you are likely to be targeted." Moreover, you were a third-level disabled person before, so in the eyes of others, you were a ready-made soft persimmon. If they don't pinch you, who else would they pinch?

Georgia didn't expect that he would end up here. He frowned, then clenched his fist and said seriously, "I will try my best not to embarrass the Chu family!"

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant... forget it." Chu Yan silently swallowed the words "You can ask your second brother for protection" and thought of Georgia's strength. He paused and agreed, "Well, come on, I believe in you."

Based on Qiao's strength, he should not need his second brother's protection. Alas, the inducement failed.

Four days later, the Empire's warships landed at the military port of the main star. Prince Antin and the "recovered" Princess Anlin, along with the president's younger brother Long Ruizhang, went to the port to personally welcome the Empire's team.

Surprisingly, the imperial team was led by the king's younger brother, Prince Ans, the husband of Ning's daughter. Prince Ans was about the same age as the president, with blond hair and blue eyes, and looked gentle and elegant, which was very consistent with his identity as a leisurely prince and senior scholar.

Long Ruizhang and the prince performed a welcoming and being welcomed drama at the port. The twins also showed affection to their uncle and greeted their cousin Anita, also known as Ning Kongan, intimately. It seemed that the family relationship was very good.

After the excitement, everyone moved to the Presidential Palace to continue this "intimate exchange" between the Federation and the Empire.

Chu Huai and Chu Rong both claimed to be sick and stayed at home, and did not join in the fun. The other three families also tacitly found excuses not to show up at the meeting between the two countries, and watched the performance of the President and the Empire with cold eyes.

"Long Ruifeng must be crazy to let Long Ruizhang go to welcome the visitors from the empire." Chu Huai rarely called the president's name, put down the teacup and shook his head.

Chu Rong looked at him and replied, "I've said before that he has lost his mind. He doesn't want to use a proper official, but wants to use his own brother. His intentions are very clear." The federation speaks based on position and power, not blood ties. This was a really bad move by the president.

"The Xiang and Wei families are no longer on his side. His attempt to sow discord has failed, and there is no one else he can use." Chu Huai glanced at the snacks on the table that seemed to be bought from outside, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you eat the snacks made at home? The ones bought outside are easily tampered with."

Chu Rong also looked at the snacks on the table and frowned as he replied, "The ones made at home are too monotonous. Don't worry, all of these have been tested and served only if there are no problems."

Seeing that his younger brother frowned when he mentioned snacks, but his aura became much gentler, Chu Huai smiled and asked, "Second brother, Qiao is eighteen years old this year and will go to military school soon. There are so many outstanding peers there. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Georgia won't be bullied." Chu Rong answered affirmatively, but his expression was inevitably a little dark. It was obvious that he had already imagined the scene of Georgia being bullied in the military academy.

Chu Huai twitched his lips, looked at him unhappily, and was speechless.

"That's not the accident I'm talking about!"

He couldn't help but tap the table, emphasizing his tone, and said, "Georgia has an outstanding appearance and excellent abilities. She will only become more and more dazzling in the future. If you don't hurry up, be careful that the fattened chicken will be caught by others! Even if you are not anxious, I am anxious for you. Even Xiaoyan is anxious for you. Qiao has shown it so obviously. Can't you take the initiative?"

Chu Rong finally understood what he meant by "something happened". His face darkened and he tapped the table impatiently. After a pause, he said, "I know my limits... At this banquet, the Xiang and Wei families will make some small moves, and Long Baorou will also use some tricks. This is a good opportunity."

Chu Huai became interested when he heard that. He knew that he was not unprepared, so his anger immediately subsided and he asked, "How is it not bad? Tell me, what pit have you dug this time?"

He started to act unruly again.

Chu Rong glanced at him indifferently, stood up and said, "Brother, I have recovered, Xiaoyan is already an adult, the Chu family is really deserted, you and sister-in-law should hurry up." After that, he turned and left, with a dashing back.

Chu Huai was stunned for a moment, then he angrily picked up the teacup and threw it at him, angrily scolding: "You have no respect for your elders! You should take care of yourself first! The Chu family is deserted, but you didn't bring anyone back earlier! You bastard!"

The day before the welcome banquet, Georgia solemnly took out two light green thumb-sized plant balls from the dining table, handed one to Gu Yan'an and the other to Chu Rong, and then said, "These are Qiuqiu's children. I'll lend them to you for a day. They can also detect the ingredients of food. As long as the food is not right, even if there is only a little bit, they can taste it."

He had seen the TV series and knew that in such occasions of dialogue between two countries, there would most likely be unidentified objects in the food, so it was better to prepare early.

"You have to be nice to Qiuqiu's children. They are still young." He couldn't help but remind them, then he took out four boxes of medicine and gave one to each of them. He said, "There are antidotes and soothing drugs in here, as well as several very effective mental stabilizers. If you are in danger, you can use them."

After saying this, he wanted to take out other things, but was stopped by Chu Rong in time.

"We are just going to attend a banquet, not to have a Hongmen Feast, so we don't need these."

He gently pulled Georgia's ear, which was both heartwarming and funny, and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for him, saying, "Eat, the food is getting cold."

"Can't I use it?" Georgia was stunned. He looked at Chu Yan who was watching TV series with him. Seeing Chu Yan's strange expression, he realized that he might have done something stupid again. His face turned red and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

"It's a gift from the child. Just use it. Why are you talking so much?" Gu Yan'an glanced at Chu Rong and put the potion away first. Then he touched the plant ball in his hand and asked, "Is this Qiuqiu's child? How old is he?"

"Half, half a year old, and has been divided several times." Georgia answered quickly, her face still hot.

Seeing that he was so embarrassed that his head was about to smoke, Chu Yan deliberately moved closer to him and said, "Second brother has this plant ball, and so does eldest brother and sister-in-law. What about mine? Qiao, you can't learn from second brother to be partial. I'm not happy."

Georgia didn't care about being embarrassed when she heard this, and hurriedly explained: "You and I will definitely stay together all the time, so we can share the ball. My brother and sister-in-law are different. They have to greet other people, so I gave it to them first. I'm not biased."

So that's how it is. Chu Yan was satisfied and gave him a look that said "You are indeed a good brother".

"No, you will stay with me." Chu Rong suddenly spoke, picked up the shivering ball child at hand and stuffed it to Chu Yan, then reached out to turn Georgia's head back, motioning him to eat.

Georgia was stunned for a moment, then her ears pricked up and she asked expectantly, "I stay with you? Always? Really?"

"Really." Chu Rong nodded and gestured to his bowl again.

Georgia quickly picked up the chopsticks obediently, her ears moving happily, and she instantly forgot about Chu Yan.

Chu Yan: “…” Ah, this place really can’t be stayed in anymore.

The next afternoon, Georgia's dress was delivered. It was pure black with gold patterns, and the accessories were all black jade. It was almost exactly the same as Chu Rong's dress except for the size.

Chu Yan was stunned. He stared at Chu Huai, who was calmly drinking tea beside him, with wide eyes and winked at him frantically.

"What's wrong?" Chu Huai looked at him pretending to be ignorant, then waved his hand in disdain to signal him to try on the dress, saying, "You've grown too fast. The clothes I made last month are too small this month. What a waste, you spendthrift child."

Chu Yan: “…” Is his family status already so humble?

When they went out, Georgia and Chu Rong took a car, while Chu Yan was taken away by Brother Chu and his wife.

After getting in the car, Georgia pulled at her slim-fitting dress, touched her specially groomed hair, and finally sensed the custom-made pure black mental simulator on her ear, her face flushed as if it was about to burn.

It was actually the same thing Chu Rong was wearing, and the effect of this new simulator was too good. Before, I just felt like I was being held by Chu Rong, but now...

A slightly sharp force brushed playfully against his ear. He pursed his lips and tried to suppress the desire to scratch his ear.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Rong, who was sitting opposite him, asked knowingly and raised his hand to pull his ear, using a different force than before, which seemed a bit teasing.

Georgia was so startled that she almost jumped up. Her ears trembled violently. She tilted her head away from his palm and stammered, "No, nothing, I'm just not used to it. And my hair, I, I haven't combed it before." As he said that, he glanced at Chu Rong, who looked particularly handsome with white hair and black clothes. His heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head in panic.

Chu Rong lowered his eyes and looked at his facial features that looked even more delicate and handsome after his bangs were combed up. He couldn't help but move his fingers down and flicked his thick and curled eyelashes. He blinked as if startled and suddenly asked, "Qiao, do you remember what I asked you to think about last time?"

"Ah?" Georgia's attention was all on his slender fingers. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what he said. The heat on her face subsided, and her ears drooped. She moved uneasily and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't remember... Do you really want me to sleep alone? I, I will try hard to think..."

How can you be so funny?

Chu Rong squinted his eyes to hide his emotions, raised his hands to pinch his ears, and said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember it, just create new ones."

"What?" Georgia was held by the ears and had to look up at him passively, her lips slightly parted, asking foolishly, not understanding what he said.

Creation
