Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 272 She Deserves the Best
Jiang Liyue felt once again that her boyfriend was different without that hundred-year wait.
He was actually a bit wicked, a somewhat arrogant bad boy who had a habit of deliberately teasing girls.
Instead of the lunatic who, a hundred years later, goes berserk and locks her in a dark room the moment he sees her.
Although I know I shouldn't feel sorry for men, because feeling sorry for men will bring me bad luck for life.
But her boyfriend seems really pitiful, and Jiang Liyue felt a little softer in her heart.
I feel like kissing him, hugging him, and comforting him.
Jiang Liyue blinked, her heart filled with tenderness.
The next moment, Hermer raised his hand and pinched her soft face, chuckling as he deliberately threatened, "I'm not a good person, or I'll eat you up."
As he spoke, he deliberately showed his sharp teeth, as if he were really going to bite her and suck her blood.
Jiang Liyue: ...
She took back what she had just said; some men don't deserve to be cherished!
Whose man is this? He's so childish!
Jiang Liyue took a step back: "My lord, I must continue tidying the garden."
Hermer found that he hadn't frightened her and blinked strangely.
For a fleeting moment, he wondered why the adorable little human in front of him seemed to dislike him.
No, she's just a timid and cute little bunny, where would she get the courage to dislike him?
Hermer had just returned from outside and actually had a lot of things to take care of, so after thinking for a moment, he agreed: "Then you go to work first."
Jiang Liyue turned her head without hesitation.
Seeing her resolute retreating figure, Hermer couldn't help but call out to her, "Luna..."
Jiang Liyue turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if to ask, "Your Grace, is there anything else?"
Hermer felt awkward for a moment under her gaze, but quickly recovered and said with disdain, "I think your name is a bit awful."
Jiang Liyue: ?
“Perhaps you could consider changing your name,” Hermer continued, seeing her speechless expression.
Jiang Liyue almost rolled her eyes. "Do you know you'll never have a wife if you talk like that?"
However, after Hermer finished speaking, he seemed to think that what he said made sense, and continued, "This name is not worthy of you at all, Luna, what an ordinary and unremarkable name."
Jiang Liyue felt that he was now just as talkative as Herlo.
At this point, the two of them were more like brothers.
"Jiang Liyue," she quickly interrupted him, preventing him from continuing.
Hermer paused abruptly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
He looked a bit like a silly little dog. Jiang Liyue finally smiled again and repeated, "I have another name, Jiang Liyue."
She didn't want Hermer to call her by her virtual name, which is why she took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Jiang Liyue." Hermer pronounced her name naturally, as if he had said it countless times. He repeated it again, "Jiang Liyue, Yueyue, is this an Eastern name?"
Jiang Liyue nodded, without offering further explanation: "Yes."
Hermer didn't seem to have any intention of asking further questions, but simply called her name again: "Yueyue, this name suits you very well."
He called Yueyue's name many more times in his heart, his gaze towards her growing even more intense.
It seemed as if it were meant to be this way.
In the end, Jiang Liyue said goodbye to Hermer and went to work.
She had only been watering the flowers in the garden for a short while when Hermer, saying he had other things to do, appeared beside her.
"Your Grace, what brings you here?" Jiang Liyue asked, puzzled.
Hermer said seriously, "Of course I'm here to check if my little gardener is doing her job properly."
Jiang Liyue: "...Then you can check it."
She continued watering the plants, but before she could even do two strokes, Hermer snatched the watering can from her hand.
When she looked over, he still looked serious and cold, but he said in a low voice, "This looks interesting. I'll give it a try."
This trial lasted until the very end.
The Duke of Terence Castle, the king with supreme power among vampires, spent the entire afternoon diligently watering the flowers with a watering can.
The maid who was supposed to be in charge of this task stood by with her hands behind her back, watching his movements.
For a moment, they couldn't tell who the true owner of Terence Castle was.
Jiang Liyue: Hehe.
When it was time for dinner, Hermès followed Jiang Liyue to the maid's private dining room.
Terence Castle actually had more than just the maids who entered at the same time as Jiang Liyue; there were other human servants as well.
Humans were not valued, so their dinners were naturally very simple, with a group of people crammed into a small restaurant to eat hard rye bread.
When Hermer saw Jiang Liyue holding a rye bread and about to eat it, his expression changed instantly.
He didn't know why, but he just felt that his Yueyue deserved better.
It deserves the best.
