"Dean, what did you say?" Yan Jin blinked, unsure of what she had heard. Was she not hallucinating?

"Congratulations, Duke Yan Jin, a duke personally bestowed by the Emperor without a title, with the fief of Yunshui Star." Bi Qingfang also smiled at Yan Jin.

Although she was just as excited, her status and age prevented her from going over and hugging Yan Jin like Shen Yimei did.

At this moment, El also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Duke Yan Jin."

"Me? A duke?" Yan Jin was still a little stunned. She had become a duke?

"Yes." This time, the three people, along with the smiling crowd outside, all nodded in unison.

"Try turning on your personal computer and taking a look," Bi Qingfang said with a laugh.

Yan Jin turned on her personal terminal and was greeted by a flood of messages, all from people she knew who wanted to congratulate her.

Yan Jin ignored all of them for the time being and opened the first message.

After seeing the announcement personally posted by His Majesty on the Imperial website, Yan Jin completely believed it.

She truly became a duke, receiving an interstellar salary, and becoming another influential figure in the political arena.

Yan Jin was still somewhat dazed and hadn't quite grasped the change in her identity.

However, it only took a short while for her to calm down and suppress her excitement before she smiled and said, "Thank you everyone. I'll be giving you small gifts later. Thank you for your blessings."

"ha……"

"Congratulations."

"Your Majesty the Duke."

"Duke Yan Jin!"

"We've seen the Duke in real life too."

For a moment, everyone was talking happily, all of it being good-natured jokes and congratulatory words; no one said anything else at that moment.

After everyone left, Yan Jin returned to her dormitory alone.

As soon as Yan Jin opened the door, she saw Si Yuling in military uniform, holding flowers in his hands. The handsome man stood there, looking at her with tender eyes, his voice deep and pleasant, "Congratulations, my Duke."

He extended the bouquet from his arms with his long, slender, bony hand.

The instructions for entering the dormitory were given to Si Yuling by Yan Jin through Yun Duo.

Therefore, Si Yuling can freely enter and leave this dormitory and its living room.

The flowers were sent by Brett as soon as he learned that Yan Jin had been granted the title of Duke.

Yan Jin smiled, took the flowers from his hand, kissed Si Yuling's handsome profile, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, my Marshal."

Si Yuling's eyes suddenly turned deep, and he suppressed the urge to look at Yan Jin.

He always loses control uncontrollably around this woman. Even with just a simple sentence.

Si Yuling stretched out his long arm and pulled Yan Jin and the bouquet into his embrace at the same time.

Si Yuling tightened his embrace around Yan Jin, his voice slightly aggrieved as he asked, "Your Grace, when are you planning to introduce your boyfriend to other people?"

"..." Yan Jin gently pushed him away and looked at him. "You're my boyfriend, do I need to introduce you?"

Very well, and very straightforward. Si Yuling sighed helplessly. He had to make things clear to his girlfriend, who had just started to understand things, and couldn't expect her to suddenly become more emotionally intelligent.

Si Yuling took Yan Jin's hand and helped her sit on the sofa, then sat down next to her.

Yan Jin carefully placed the flowers on the coffee table beside her and looked at Si Yuling intently.

Si Yuling said helplessly, "But other people don't know that I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend. I want everyone to know."
