"Goodbye, brother." Qiao You stood behind the villa gate, waving to Helian Jue with a smile. "This is my home turf today!"

Qiao You won the last swimming competition, and the condition he wanted Helian Jue to agree to was that he would be alone in the villa today.

"I'll call you when I'm ready to come back!"

Helian Jue was helpless yet indulgent, and his precious fish was chased out so nimbly.

“Baby, I…” Helian Jue still wanted to struggle a bit more, since nothing had happened today.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut in front of Helian Jue.

Lin Zhong happened to be looking for His Highness on business. He had just stepped into the courtyard when he saw this scene. He silently withdrew his foot and stepped back.

Helian Jue stood there dejectedly for a while, but when he didn't see Xiaoyu Bao open the door, he silently left.

What are you doing standing here?

Lin Zhong immediately stood up straight. "Your Highness, General Ye Qingyun of Solstar has something to report."

Helian Jue strode onto the hovercar, with Lin Zhong following closely behind.

"Go to the East Palace."

Lin Zhong shut up and quietly became his bodyguard.

The hovercar remained completely silent throughout the journey. As they got out, Helian Jue suddenly spoke up: "You saw that just now?"

Lin Zhong spoke faster than he thought, "No."

Helian Jue glanced at Lin Zhong and left.

Lin Zhong realized what was happening. Why had he suddenly said he hadn't? Wasn't this just a classic case of protesting too much?

I wanted to cry but couldn't!

"Keep up."

"They're here!"

————

After Helian Jue left, Qiao You went to the kitchen to start tidying up, then made a list of things to buy and used his personal computer to purchase them one by one.

After practicing making cakes for a long time, Qiao You was very confident.

There was no need to send my brother away so early, but just to be on the safe side, I let him leave early so he could prepare at his own pace and there was no fear of anything going wrong.

Besides the birthday cake, Qiao You also plans to pan-fry the steak herself; that's the simplest thing, just cook it until it's done.

Besides cake and steak, Qiao You also bought fresh flowers to decorate the restaurant.

Today, the little fish is like a busy little bee, flitting here and there.

In the afternoon, everyone in the Eastern Palace worked diligently at their respective posts, afraid of becoming a scapegoat.

Eleanor, dressed in sportswear with her hair tied in a high ponytail, put her arm around Wayne's shoulder from behind. "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Vein glanced at the wrist resting on his shoulder and stammered, "I...I don't know. Lin Zhong said His Highness is in a bad mood and told us to be quiet."

"It's probably a heartbreak," Eleanor said confidently. "I'll ask Youyou."

From the innermost office came a loud voice, "Vin, come in!"

Eleanor clasped her hands together and made a wish-fulfilling gesture to Wayne.

One by one, many people were summoned into His Highness's office. Eleanor had already learned from Qiao You why His Highness was in a bad mood.

"Sister Nono, is it almost our turn?" Lucy asked anxiously as she approached.

Eleanor smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Wait here, watch me put out the fire for you!"

Lucy looked at Eleanor's retreating figure with admiration, "Eleanor is so cool."

"Yes or no?"

Yu Qin expressed his deep agreement.

Thump thump thump—

Helian Jue's deep voice came, "Enter."

When Wayne and the others saw Eleanor, it was as if they had seen a savior.

Eleanor walked inside, completely ignoring the prince's serious expression. "Your Highness, His Highness Youyou wants you to be home around six o'clock."

He has prepared a surprise for you.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone witnessed the change in Helian Jue's expression.

Like the snow and ice atop a snow-capped mountain, it welcomes its own unique sunshine.

"Mm." Helian Jue nodded reservedly.

"Keep an eye on all the planets. Also, have Huang Que hide and not show himself for a while."

"Go down."

At 5:40 p.m., Helian Jue left the East Palace on time.

"May Your Highness and Prince Youyou have a wonderful evening," Eleanor shouted at Helian Jue's retreating figure.

Helian Jue continued walking without stopping, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Eleanor, you want to go to the mining planet?" Wayne asked, looking shocked.

Oh!

Just as Eleanor was about to retort, the quantum computer issued a notification.

Your Highness: Go find Link to collect a bonus.

"Look carefully, I'll only show you once." Eleanor handed over the personal terminal. "Learn from this."

"Now I can buy a few more outfits! Your Highness is so generous!"

Eleanor knew what Wayne was up to the moment she saw his eyes. She was the only smart one in their group, so she said loudly, "Call me Sister Nono."

"I'll take you guys to earn bonuses tomorrow."

Lucy and Yu Qin felt no guilt whatsoever, and their greeting of "Sister Nuonuo" was very sincere.

Eleanor glanced at everyone and saw Lin Zhong, whose expression was exactly the same as His Highness's. She comforted herself, thinking that discretion was the better part of valor. Pointing at Lin Zhong, she said obsequiously, "You don't need to call me 'Big Brother,' I should call you 'Brother.'"

Cui Jing leaned closer and offered his terms: "Three bottles of hand sanitizer."

"We're like family, no need to shout." Eleanor put her arm around his shoulder. This guy has a black heart, but he's really capable.

She went on a mission to Japan before, and although she was covered up from head to toe, her hands still got quite tanned. Cui Jing took pity on her and developed a hand lotion. After only three days, she could see significant results.

Eleanor looked around, and apart from her few men, only Wayne called for reinforcements, clearly frustrated.

"Tomorrow, after His Highness enters the gate, we will..."

Helian Jue was unaware of Eleanor and the others' secret plot. Sitting in the hovercar, he was clearly eager to return home and was very much looking forward to it!
