Upon hearing this question, Luo Chen didn't know what to say.

Fang Xue has changed a lot since she used up her wish.

The current Fang Xue is completely different from the Fang Xue of the past.

To say it's a "darkening" isn't entirely accurate.

But even Luo Chen himself didn't want to believe that nothing had changed.

"No, it's just that such things can be handled by the person specifically in charge of this matter."

“You’re such a busy person. There’s a ton of stuff waiting for you to handle in Ningcheng. If you leave like this, things will just fall apart.”

"Hmm...it seems that's indeed the case."

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Fang Xue nodded after thinking for a moment, but then she stared at Luo Chen with a smile: "Since you know that Ningcheng is very busy, why don't you come back to help? If I remember correctly, you are the president of Luo's Group. I can handle most of the group's affairs, but shouldn't the more important matters be decided by you, the president?"

Fang Xue's seemingly gentle words actually concealed a sharp edge, which surprised Luo Chen, leaving him unsure how to respond.

[Holy crap, you've thrown the problem back at me again! How am I supposed to respond? Fang Xue is so different now. Not only has her persona collapsed, but her personality has changed too. Please, can you go back to your original icy beauty persona? Otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with you.]

Fang Xue maintained her smile, as if she hadn't heard Luo Chen's thoughts.

Luo Luo, standing to the side, watched the two of them speechlessly.

At the same time, he also thought of how Luo Chen pursued Fang Xue.

She used to be an ice queen, that's true, but Luo Chen was a total simp.

He ignored her, but Luo Chen persisted relentlessly.

Now, their roles have been switched.

Fang Xue chased after him, but Luo Chen fled.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Of course, this is their business, and Lolo doesn't want to get involved, so she continues to remain invisible.

Anyway, Luo Chen doesn't really welcome her, so there's no need to make a fool of herself.

Seeing that Luo Chen didn't know how to respond, the understanding Fang Xue slowly said, "Although I know that the matter in Yan Province has been resolved, and in principle, you are no longer needed to take charge here, the fact that you are still here means that there are other things that need your attention."

"I won't ask you what you're doing. You don't need to worry about Ningcheng either. Meng'er and I can handle it, so you don't need to worry."

"And... if there's anything you need from us, just ask. Don't worry that we can't help you; the only problem is that you won't say anything."

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Luo Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

But he could tell that Fang Xue was serious.

They... really wanted to do something for Luo Chen, instead of protecting them and treating them like decorative vases, making them bear everything.

Luo Chen was speechless, unsure of how to begin.

Because what he needs to do now is not really to bring them in.

It's not that I don't believe in their abilities; they are all exceptionally talented.

He was just afraid that if that day's situation happened again, what would he do, and how would he react?

My wish is already gone. If something else happens, I'll really regret it.

After all, it's better for him to shoulder the responsibility of fighting against the protagonist alone.

At least there's a system; if the filming fails, he'll be the only one who suffers the loss.

Luo Chen was unwilling to accept the others.

Luo Chen's unspeakable secret, coupled with the silence of his inner thoughts.

Fang Xue frowned slightly.

Fang Xue was a smart woman, and she understood from this detail that Luo Chen didn't want them to get involved.

This matter is clearly not one that is easy to handle.

Perhaps, in Luo Chen's heart, he didn't want that day to happen again.

After all, miracles don't happen all the time; even one occasion is incredibly lucky.

But Luo Chen had no idea that the more he acted this way, the more worried they would become.

She was afraid that Luo Chen would take on too much and get himself caught up in it.

Lolo, who was standing next to her, also became depressed, and her hands clenched slightly.

I was thinking about my past life.

In his past life, because he discovered the truth too late, Luo Chen died because he didn't understand it.

Having been reborn, she was filled with guilt, thinking about protecting Luo Chen and preventing her brother from experiencing the same thing again.

But now, Lolo has also noticed it.

My brother... once again shouldered everything alone.

[...]

night.

After dinner.

Everyone rested.

The conversation at noon did not affect dinner, as Luo Chen cooked it himself.

With his god-like culinary skills, he made Fang Xue and Luo Luo eat with happiness on their faces, wishing they could finish every last drop of sauce from their plates.

Luo Chen couldn't let them do that, so he had to work a little harder himself and went back into the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.

Everyone was satisfied. After dinner, they took showers and dispersed to their respective rooms.

Luo Chen sat on the balcony, looking at the sparse stars that appeared every day.

He murmured softly, "I do have the strength to fight Ye Feng now. In a one-on-one situation, I can guarantee I won't lose. But I can't guarantee that Ye Feng won't be provoked like his brother and turn his anger towards you. What if..."

I would be very sad if I had to do it again.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already taken an important place in Luo Chen's heart. Although their relationship was somewhat complicated, their feelings for each other were genuine.

Luo Chen would not deny this.

They just didn't say it out loud.

Besides, isn't it good to be a decorative vase? At least you don't have to think too much, you can be carefree and comfortable.

If it weren't for his villainous, sycophantic persona, Luo Chen would actually quite enjoy this kind of life.

However, that's not possible at the moment.

The Luo family is not yet strong enough to stand up to Ye Feng.

Even if Ye Feng returns from the Northern Frontier and regains his normal identity.

The network of contacts you build won't disappear because of this.

The idea of ​​secretly killing Ye Feng is possible, but Ye Feng is the protagonist, the chosen one.

Without absolute certainty, Ye Feng always has a chance to escape death and live again.

In his original world, Luo Chen had read many novels.

This kind of tactic is all too common.

There is a 99.9% chance of killing the protagonist, but due to that 0.1% chance, the protagonist survives by a hair's breadth.

Instead, this gave him a great opportunity, allowing him to become even stronger and return stronger.

Although it was an opportunity belonging to Ye Feng, Luo Chen had already sent people to investigate it secretly, but due to the timeline, they could not obtain it yet.

But that wasn't enough. Luo Chen still hoped that the Luo family could develop rapidly while he was fighting against Ye Feng.

They broke away from worldly affairs and became a super family of martial artists.

This way, not only can Ye Feng's schemes be prevented, but also his connections can be kept safe.

Only the rear can be fully protected.

With his own strength, dealing with Ye Feng would be much simpler.

Unfortunately, the dog system is still being updated; let's calculate the time.

Ye Feng will be back in the next few days.
