Tao Yao received a telegram from Li Yurong as soon as she boarded the spacecraft.
Li Yurong knew that something unexpected had happened inside the combat training center, so she asked about the situation.
Seeing that neither of them was injured, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she said, "Yaoyao, Miss Xie has had your dress taken away tonight. Are you not going home again later?"
Tao Yao nodded and said, "Ayan will pick me up from Yanli Courtyard then."
Li Yurong nodded. "After the banquet, have Shu Yan take you back to your house in the South District as soon as possible. You need to go to school to register tomorrow, so stay in the South District tonight, as it's closer to the school."
Tao Yao and Shu Yan both responded.
Li Yurong made the call because there was one more thing she needed to tell him.
The interstellar exploration team that the Tao family and the Shu family established eight years ago may have discovered a brand new planet near the 17th star system.
She needed to set off immediately to confirm, and instructed Tao Yao to activate the security system at her residence in the southern district that evening.
Li Yurong wasn't worried about Tao Yao being in any danger while alone in the house, since the Tao family's bodyguards were almost all stationed at the old house in the southern district.
The bodyguards are all veterans of the Tao family, many of whom retired after serving in the Tao family's military force.
Tao Yao knew the importance of exploring new planets and also told her mother to be careful on the way.
Just as Li Yurong hung up the telegram, Shu Yan received a telegram from his mother, Zhang Jiewei.
Zhang Jiewei is a dual-S ability user who is stationed on the border planet of the Alliance with Shu's father. The message she sent via interstellar telegram was very similar to that of Li Yurong.
"You two must not stay in the palace too late tonight. The people in the palace are complicated and the safety is uncertain. Just show your face and come back early."
The two of them hadn't planned to stay long. Having grown up in wealthy circles, they knew what kind of things would happen at gatherings in such circles. While the banquets in the palace weren't as sordid as some people would find out, things weren't necessarily normal once the doors were closed.
Since both elders had given instructions, they naturally agreed to everything.
Zhang Jiewei also revealed the discovery of a new planet near System 17, and she was also about to set off immediately for the vicinity of System 17.
"We're almost in the city center," Shu Yan said, glancing at the time after hanging up the star teleport. He then instructed his virtual AI, Xiao Mang, to release a single bed from inside the aircraft and asked Tao Yao, "Are you tired? Why don't you take a rest? We'll be there in about 10 minutes. I'll wake you when we arrive."
Tao Yao pouted and shook her head: "I don't want to lie down, I want to lean on you."
Using her superpower for three consecutive hours was definitely tiring, but she didn't want to lie down for a while and then get up again. Her boyfriend was right in front of her, looking quite attractive, so what was the point of lying down on a single bed all by herself?
Xiao Mang flew over from the bedside, stood in mid-air, and projected several pictures for the two to choose from: "Yaoyao, would you like a glass of juice?"
"Two glasses of iced lemonade, please," Shu Yan chuckled, making the choice for Tao Yao. He then waved and patted his thigh, his eyes smiling. "Come on, lean on me."
When they answered the phone earlier, one of them was sitting on the swivel sofa in the driver's seat, and the other was sitting in the passenger seat in the back.
Shu Yan spun the sofa around so that the two of them were sitting opposite each other.
Tao Yao stood up, took a few steps over, straddled Shu Yan's lap, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Are you tired? Or are you worried about Aunt Li?"
Shu Yan rubbed her head and gently nuzzled her cheek with his own. "Don't worry, my mother will be there to meet up with Aunt Li soon."
Tao Yao nodded quietly.
Her mother often goes out to work, and she has actually gotten used to it.
Like Shu Yan, whose parents were stationed on the border planet of the Alliance for a long time, he was often alone in the house.
"Take a quick nap, you'll be busy this afternoon and evening," Shu Yan said softly.
Originally, I planned to take Tao Yao home for a nap in the afternoon, but now my girlfriend has plans with her best friend, and she'll be working non-stop tonight.
If I had known, I wouldn't have invited her to the combat training center today.
"I wonder what happened to Langhuan." Now that they were almost at Yanli Courtyard, she also remembered Hu Tiantian's hesitant expression. "It seems to be quite serious."
"It's probably because the Xie family wants Miss Xie to marry into some family." Shu Yan took Tao Yao's hands in his, and pulled her arms around his waist. His girlfriend's arms were slender and soft. The two of them were so affectionate that he could hold her for a lifetime.
Tao Yao closed her eyes, buried her head on Shu Yan's shoulder, and took a deep breath of air from Shu Yan's neck. This breath felt like yang energy entering her body, making her much clearer. "If it were just like this, Lang Huan should be able to handle it on her own, and wouldn't be so hesitant to speak."
Xie Langhuan's mother died on the day she was born during a supernatural riot. Her current mother was a second wife. Although her stepmother did not mistreat Xie Langhuan materially, she was not necessarily very good to this adopted daughter. However, Xie Langhuan was not one of those weak and delicate little flowers who could only whine. As for the issue of marriage, if she herself was unwilling, with Xie Langhuan's methods, she could completely ignore this stepmother.
"If there are any other questions, you'll find out when you get there. Now, rest for a while." Shu Yan pushed out a small tea table, took the two glasses of lemonade that the robot brought, picked up one of them, patted Tao Yao's back gently, and said softly, "Here, have a sip to soothe your throat. Xiao Mang will be controlling the descent soon."
Tao Yao stood up and took a sip of lemonade from Shu Yan's hand.
"I'll pick you up at 5 o'clock to go to the banquet together, okay?" Shu Yan put the water back on the coffee table, leaned over, and gently touched the still moist red lips in front of her. "If you can sleep for a while there, then sleep for a while. We'll dance the opening dance at the banquet tonight and then leave. Don't exchange dance partners with others and leave, or I'll be jealous."
If she swaps partners with someone else and leaves at a ball with hundreds of people, it will be really difficult to find her again.
Moreover, he absolutely did not want his girlfriend to dance with other men.
"Oh," Tao Yao blinked, recalling the sensation from just now, and pursed her lips, "Was it sweet?"
"It's sweet." Shu Yan reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, intending to lean in and touch her again.
Tao Yao covered her mouth with one hand and shook her head. "It's not possible now. I have to get off the plane in a few minutes. If my mouth gets swollen, I'll be laughed at by all those gossipy old women when I get off the plane."
Shu Yan gave a short laugh, but still pressed his body against hers.
He pressed his lips to Tao Yao's ear, his warm voice carrying a hint of hoarseness and seduction: "Baby, is it really not okay?"
A honey trap, what a ruthless honey trap!
Tao Yao felt the hot breath blow directly from her ear to her heart, and the flames burned down from her ear, burning her entire face.
Although they grew up together, and she often referred to herself as Shu Yan's future wife when they were children, the two of them did not do anything substantial intimate except for holding hands.
