Regarding Joan's suggestion, Julian glanced at the defensive line of the circle belonging to the younger generation of the Empire not far away and remained silent for a moment.

He immediately recognized the face, which was clearly the same as before, but today's makeup was different, and the whole person exuded a strange and alluring aura. This did not resemble Lu Xiaoyao.

The woman's expression at that moment was exactly like the way she had tricked and killed him in the game.

Julian didn't want to use the opportunity of greeting her to directly infiltrate the group.

Even though they had temporarily teamed up in the game the day before yesterday.

His gaze darted around, subconsciously searching for another opening. Soon, the young man in the silver-gray suit next to him became Julian's next target for flirting.

Although the other person's cuff, on the wrist holding the wine glass, bore a royal insignia, Julian still felt Yuan Fang was a decent conversationalist. (www.cascoo.net)

However, the further he walked, the more the chattering of a group of young people made Julian, who was maintaining a gentlemanly smile, inexplicably begin to doubt his existence.

Are all the younger generation in the empire chatterboxes?

...

"Wow! Mingmei, your brother is actually Meiqiu! You hid it for so long!"

"My goodness, you should have said so earlier! You're General Mei Qiu's sister! I admire General Mei Qiu so much!"

"By the way, Mingmei, why is your surname Ming and your brother's surname Mei? Are they pseudonyms?"

"Mingmei, your brother is so amazing, you must be incredibly strong too, right?"

"..."

Mingmei stood among the crowd, openly and honestly letting go of her inhibitions.

It's so noisy.

Why do these people, even those they don't know well, try to mingle and chat with their acquaintances when they're surrounded by them?!

"Excuse me, everyone."

Mingmei turned her head and saw that Mu Chen was standing behind her at some point, and once again she could smell that familiar, comforting cold fragrance.

Her one and only hero has arrived.

Everyone was slightly taken aback by Mu Chen's sudden appearance. Whether they regarded him as a former classmate or as a boss character who had left a deep impression on them in the game, they immediately put away the arrogance that had started with "Lu Xiaoyao" when facing Mu Chen.

This guy is really not someone to mess with.

In response, Mu Chen's gaze also fell on "Lu Xiaoyao," who was wearing a vermilion short dress. Tonight, her makeup and attire were completely different from usual, and she even had a bright red beauty mark at the corner of her eye.

Under the lights of the banquet hall, the beauty mark sometimes gave the illusion that it was a drop of blood from the corner of her eye.

Mingmei had noticed "Lu Xiaoyao" early on, and her appearance and changes in today's occasion naturally reminded Mingmei of Da Yao.

In front of everyone, Mu Chen lowered his head and whispered something in Mingmei's ear.

Besides feeling the warm breath from the other person spraying on her neck, which brought a shiver from the depths of her soul, Mingmei also couldn't hear what the person in front of her, who was clearly speaking to her with his mouth opening and closing, was actually saying.

The next second, Mu Chen turned to look at the others, nodded apologetically as if he had been impolite, and then, as if he had whispered something to Ming Mei, put his hand on her waist and led her away from the crowd.

Can other people act as "third wheels" and bother us?

After walking about ten steps away, Mu Chen and Mingmei stopped near the lady who had come with him earlier.

"Have some small cakes first. I'll take you there after Minister Mei finishes speaking."

Mingmei watched as Mu Chen magically handed her another small cake. With a complicated expression, she took the cake but didn't eat it immediately. The stylist's words from earlier that day were still ringing in her ears, and a hint of unease flashed across Mingmei's eyes.

She actually gained weight during this time?

Is it because you drank too much milk tea or ate too many small cakes?

Or is it both?

As her thoughts wandered, her bright gaze fell upon the lady who was also chatting with someone else.

Mu Chen is the adopted son of the deceased Mu Feize. Mu Feize died without a partner, so what is the relationship between this woman and Mu Chen?

As if sensing Mingmei's gaze, the other person turned their head and looked directly at Mingmei.

Mingmei noticed a hint of surprise flash in the other person's eyes the moment they saw her, and then they looked at Mu Chen beside her. In an instant, the other person immediately gave Mingmei a warm and gentle smile.

Mingmei nodded slightly in response to the other person's smile.

“That’s my aunt.” Mu Chen said before Mingmei could even ask, “I was raised by my aunt, and she likes you very much.”

Bright and beautiful: ?

What does this mean?

Mingmei didn't want to think about it too much, but she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

Immediately afterwards, the other party's next sentence was—

"She likes everything I like."

She likes everything I like.

She likes you a lot.

Putting these two sentences together is practically a confession!

The confession came so unexpectedly!

【Hey!】

[Yes, host, you heard right, he's confessing! He's confessing! If you like him, just go for it!]

Gui Gui has already learned to answer questions quickly.

He was tired of the ambiguous relationship between his host and the man in front of him, which was sometimes like a childish romance and sometimes like an adult speeding through a dangerous situation.

ah!

Let him, this artificial intelligence, personally break through this barrier!

The thought that his host would be going on a trip with the man in front of him tomorrow, while he himself would be going to the mainframe for further training, made him not mind making tonight's drama even more exciting!
