"It's the fourth brother."

The moment Mu Chen opened his mouth, Julian, who had just stepped into the corridor while the other half of his body was still in the rain, froze completely.

They really recognized me!

Regarding his self-incriminating statement and the fact that he was recognized, Julian now really wants to sing, "If I could do it all over again, I'd choose to die..."

"Father, Father Emperor..."

Julian, who had been standing in the rain and stammered out a sentence, silently took off his mask and gave an awkward smile.

In fact, he was already prepared to kneel down and beg for forgiveness if Emperor Jing'an asked him another question.

As a result, all he heard from the other person was: "Get up and stand under the eaves to avoid the rain."

They stood under the eaves, sheltering from the rain.

It means, don't come in, stand at the door, oops, the window.

"Yes, thank you, Father."

Julian stood silently by the window, soaked from the rain. He glanced up and looked into the room, where everything he saw exuded understated luxury.

Even if the room wasn't full of fur, at least the white plush animal skin carpet he saw, judging by its long fur, must have been made by a white fox.

The rarity of white fox fur, used to cover almost half of the palace, was quite luxurious.

Julian thought this and immediately lowered his head.

The women living here demonstrate their importance to Emperor Jing'an.

"Don't scare them!"

A clear, melodious female voice whispered in his ear, tinged with a hint of coquettishness. There were only three people present, and Julian himself was the one who was startled and the one who spoke. It was easy to tell who the other person was talking to.

Is this the tone you're using when speaking to Emperor Jing'an?

Julian just thought about the scenes he had faced with Emperor Jing'an during this period, either being scolded mercilessly or watching others being scolded mercilessly.

Oh, sometimes people do care about their image. Instead of swearing, they'll just drag people out and behead them as a warning.

Emperor Jing'an's arrests were always wrong, but he was always right. This gave Julian the feeling that he had all the evidence against everyone, and if they didn't work properly for him, he would use it against them.

"It's amazing you found this place in such heavy rain." (cascoo.net)

The woman seemed oblivious to the fact that Julian was dressed in black and climbing over a wall in the middle of the night, and asked again, "You must be cold after being soaked in the rain for so long, right?"

Julian lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the other person. Hearing the other person's question, he was about to thank them for their concern and then quickly find an excuse to leave when he heard the other person ask again, "Perfect timing, I have some fresh boxed lunches here, would you like some?"

Julian: ? ? ?

"Yes, it's a fresh boxed lunch. It warms you up right away, and it'll make sure you can walk back, right?"

As Julian hesitated, Emperor Jing'an's voice suddenly came from above. He looked up and met those eyes that usually looked at them as if they were idiots. This time, however, there was a different emotion in those eyes.

#If you don't eat, you won't be leaving here alive today!#

Is this a threatening look?

Julian immediately showed genuine gratitude for the care shown to him and said sincerely, "Thank you... thank you for the meal, Mother Consort. I will accept it without hesitation."

Mingmei: "..."

This title...

Mu Chen: Not bad~

[Ding—Congratulations, player, you have discovered a mysterious merchant! Please choose your favorite lunchbox within the time limit!]

Julian: ? ? ?

What is that?

Julian was shocked!

He lost his composure and abruptly looked up at Mingmei, his face full of: "Me? Are you kidding me?!"

A mysterious businessman?

Was she kept in the cold palace by the NPC Emperor Jing'an?

Are the NPCs in your game really this good at playing games?!

...

In the end, Julian, carrying the four boxed lunches he had bought, wanted to leave as soon as he finished buying them, showing no intention of eating them there.

The NPC's tactics are too cunning; he wants to go home.

Mingmei thoughtfully gave him a piece of cloth to wrap the four boxed meals so he could carry them away.

Watching Julian leave in his night clothes, carrying a lunchbox, Mingmei muttered to herself, "It always feels like he stole my lunchbox."

After sighing, Mingmei turned around and saw Mu Chen suddenly reach over her head and close the window behind her.

As he made the action of closing the window, the other person never withdrew his hand, maintaining the posture of closing the window while pulling Mingmei's entire body into his arms.

"There's nobody here now~"

Then came another suggestive remark, making it hard not to think the wrong thing.

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, Mingmei subconsciously looked up and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly curved up, and he suddenly leaned closer to her.

Fortunately, Mingmei reacted quickly and retreated to dodge, but there was little room for maneuver, and the window behind her was tightly held by Mu Chen.

Unless she's incredibly stubborn and smashes a hole in the window, there's no way to alleviate the pressure of that other person's imposing, handsome face being only a dozen centimeters away from her.

Mingmei couldn't help but tremble her eyelashes slightly, her mind already racing with thoughts of Guigui.

Is this... is this going to be a wall-slamming, forceful kiss?!

[Host, why are you so excited? Are you looking forward to it?]

Isn't this something to look forward to?

What would you do if he actually did that?

Enjoy it first, then give me a slap; after all, we're not in a serious relationship yet.

Gui Gui: [...]

Is this what Lord Liu Liu once referred to as "bloodline awakening"?
