Allen: "Joyce, come over here for a second."
Liao Qian politely bowed to Mrs. Lucy, and Rabelle reached out her hand, sensibly letting Liao Qian hug her.
Liao Qian: "Wow, little guy, how do you know me? You let me hold you."
Rabelle: "The famous Liao Shen, I thank you for saving my father."
Liao Qian: "Haha, you're so smart, so cute. Your parents and I are having some adult conversations, don't listen."
Rabelle: "Okay."
Joyce took Rabelle from him. Now Joyce wouldn't let Rabelle spend more than a minute with another man. When no one was around, Allen spoke to Joyce formally.
Allen: "Joyce, what was the reason that Senator Zeus invited you tonight?"
Joyce: "There was no special invitation. Many royal families have received invitations. What's going on?"
Allen: "Be careful tonight..."
Before Allen could finish speaking, Councilor Zeus and Chiriel appeared above them, descending from the mountain. Liao Qian took off his hat and bowed to Councilor Zeus as a sign of respect to Allen.
Liao Qian: "Hello, Congressman Zeus, hello, Miss Chiriel."
Zeus: "Liao, where is your brother? I have come to greet my benefactor in person."
Liao Qian: "He'll be here soon. He's never been late, not even once since he was a child."
Zeus: "Well, Joyce, you've arrived. Please take Rabel up the mountain to enjoy the service."
Joyce: "Thank you, Senator Zeus."
Although Allen didn't finish his sentence, the unique sensitivity among royalty told Joyce that tonight was not simple. Bodyguards were not allowed to enter Mount Mousse. Joyce tightened her grip on Lucy's hand and held on to Rabelle even more tightly. Chiriel turned around and greeted Rabelle on Joyce's shoulder. Rabelle gave her a flying kiss, and Chiriel returned the kiss. It looked like a harmonious scene. The smiles on the faces of Senator Zeus and Chiriel were very friendly.
At the entrance of Mount Mousse, Councilor Zeus thanked Liao Qian for saving Qi Ya'er. Liao Qian then inquired about the boy who had gone shopping with Qi Ya'er.
Zeus: "I never expected that two Chinese people would save my daughter. Thank you."
Liao Qian: "Congressman Zeus and I don't need to be so polite. May I ask why Miss Chia was shopping in Chinatown with a boy that day? Where was her medical team?"
Zeus: "This girl is too disobedient. She was dating this boy, and I didn't agree, so she secretly brought her bodyguards and medical team to go on a date with him. I don't even want to think about how dangerous it was that day."
Liao Qian: "Is this boy an ordinary person?"
Zeus: "Yes, he is an overseas Chinese from Cherry Country. His identity is not the main point. I have met this boy once. I think he is irresponsible and cannot take care of Qilier. Qilier and I advised her to break up with him, but she did not listen and almost lost her life."
Liao Qian: "That's incredibly irresponsible of him to leave Qi Ya'er, who had an episode, unattended in Chinatown. That's really going too far. What will become of him?"
Zeus: "I ran back to Cherry Kingdom that day. Since Chia is alright, I don't plan to pursue it any further. Making things worse won't be good for anyone. It's worth it if my daughter can see someone for who they really are."
Liao Qian: "Consul Zeus's love is beyond compare, you all are ashamed of yourselves."
While Liao Qian was talking to Zeus, Qi Li'er's gaze kept sweeping over Allen. When she saw the pigeon on Allen's sleeve, Qi Li'er sneered. Allen rolled his eyes at her, but Qi Li'er was already used to it. The royal nobles who had just gone up the mountain also ignored her and Councilor Zeus, only greeting Liao Qian and Allen before heading up the mountain, showing no respect whatsoever to the two most prestigious members of the Zeus family.
With a familiar horn sound, Liao Qian turned around and saw that Lei Ting and An Ning had arrived. Lei Ting got out of the car and took An Ning's hand. An Ning bent down to get out of the car, followed by Chong Lou. An Ning stood in front of Lei Ting, who didn't forget to help her fix her hair and skirt. Qi Lier saw Lei Ting and her eyes narrowed, then returned to normal. Allen saw Qi Lier's behavior and wanted to see what she would do tonight.
Liao Qian: "Why are you so late? Senator Zeus has been waiting for you for ages."
Anning walked up quickly and Leiting slowly, with Chonglou carrying a first-aid kit behind them. Councilor Zeus nodded and smiled at Leiting.
Thunder: "Sorry to keep Senator Zeus waiting. We've brought a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for Chia to give her acupuncture to alleviate her pain."
Zeus: "Oh, thank you, thank you, my benefactor."
Thunder: "Councilor Zeus, please rise. This is Chonglou, a graduate student at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Chonglou: "Hello."
Zeus: "Hello, please wait a moment. I need to say a few words to my benefactor before we go up the mountain. Chiar is up there."
Thunder: "Okay."
As Councilor Zeus spoke with Thunder, Anning held the black and gold wind chime, waiting for Qilier's gaze to fall upon her. In Anning's eyes, Qilier's blonde hair, which was covered in hair gel, was now smooth, and she was wearing a black dress. Her overall appearance was generous and gentle. Qilier sized up Thunder for a while before turning her gaze to Anning, who was smiling at her. Upon seeing Anning's face for the first time, Qilier was puzzled. Anning seized on this puzzlement and spoke to Qilier with a smile.
An Ning: "Qi Li'er, I am An Yang's older sister. My name is An Ning. It's nice to meet you."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Qilier stretched her neck, sighed softly, and nodded to her.
Chiriel: "Hello, nice to meet you, Bread King."
Anning: "You ran away shyly at my office door last time, it's a real shame we didn't get to meet. This is a gift I prepared for you, I hope you like it."
An Ning handed over the black and gold wind chimes. The moment the black and gold wind chimes caught Qi Li'er's eye, a hint of hesitation and guilt flashed through her mind. After a brief moment of guilt, she took the black and gold wind chimes herself and handed them to the person behind her who was helping her.
