While Long Yanli was lost in the passion of their kiss, Qin Zhiluo pushed him away without any mercy, and elegantly straightened her skirt, saying, "I haven't forgiven you yet!"

Long Yanli immediately clung to him, asking, "Baby, how can you forgive me?"

He looked at her lips with a wronged expression, "Baby, I haven't been able to sleep these past few days because I haven't been able to hold you while we sleep!"

"Oh~, it seems the hot spring's medicinal effects aren't good enough. I'll add more ingredients next time!" Qin Zhilu walked gracefully to the food area.

Long Yanli immediately put his arm around her, "Baby, walking in high heels is too tiring. Lean on me and I'll drag you along!"

Qin Ji immediately caught up with Mu Jin, took her hand and kissed it, "Wife~"

Qin Zhilu waved to Henry John and introduced him to Long Yanli.

Henry John smiled politely, "Thank you for taking care of my sister these past few days!"

Qin Ji said with a displeased look, "My sister! I'm enough for her!"

Long Yanli held the little girl in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Baby, I have another brother-in-law. How many aliases do you have? I don't have many more brothers-in-law, do I?"

Qin Zhilu smiled and said, "Isn't it good to have more brothers-in-law?"

Li Huangchen accompanied Fu Yiming to search the entire palace, but they still couldn't find Wenjing.

Li Huangchen sighed, wiping the sweat from his brow helplessly. "Luo Luo, I'm so tired!"

Qin Zhilu smiled knowingly, "Someone! Serve this distinguished guest well."

Three maids approached gracefully, their white skirts billowing with each step. "Honored guest, please follow us!"

Li Huangchen was startled and immediately stood up straight, waving his hands hastily, "That's too kind! This little bit of tiredness is nothing! I can spin around a few more times!"

Long Yanli smiled mercilessly, holding the little girl's fingers.

Li Huangchen glared at him and muttered under his breath, "You're so fickle! How could you do this to us!"

Qin Ji and Henry John finally got tired of arguing and sat down to rest on opposite sides of the table.

Mu Jin approached Qin Zhiluo with a somewhat hesitant expression.

Qin Zhilu patted her hand, "Leave it to me!"

Mu Jin nodded, lifted her dress, and left.

Qin Ji was about to chase after them when Qin Zhiluo stopped him, turning to look at Fu Yiming, "Brother Fu, aren't you going to follow them?"

Fu Yiming immediately realized what was happening, picked up the strawberry cake in his hand, and said excitedly, "Thank you!"

"Sister! I..." Qin Ji looked at Qin Zhiluo with some confusion and bewilderment.

Qin Zhiluo led them to the lounge, where Long Yanli fed her all the strawberry-themed delicacies he had collected at the banquet.

Qin Zhiluo said casually, "Sister Mujin is the only princess of the Five Desolate Kingdom, and also Brother John's fiancée!"

Qin Ji froze on the sofa, while Li Huangchen, who was utterly shocked and had his mouth agape, slapped him, "Is this really that melodramatic?!"

Qin Zhilu smiled and said, "Back then, when Sister Mujin was a princess, she asked Yundu for help. My mission was to help Sister Mujin escape her arranged marriage."

Qin Ji finally realized why A Jin had been wearing a veil all along. He looked at Qin Zhiluo with great gratitude and said, "Sister, without you, your brother would have no wife!"

Long Yanli slapped Qin Ji's hand away, listening with amusement, "And then?"

Qin Zhilu shook her head. "Both countries were furious, but the engagement was not canceled. Later, I became a princess here and confessed to Brother John."

“Brother John told me that the two of them had never met, had no feelings for each other, and were only acting in the interests of the country. He said that if she didn’t want to marry him, she shouldn’t come back, and he would try to cancel the engagement!”

"My godfather was also persuaded, but the Five Desolate Kingdoms were unwilling. They desperately needed Ledu's mineral resources. My godfather felt that if they mentioned canceling the engagement, it would damage the reputation of Sister Mu Jin and Ledu, so he has been delaying it until now."
