Helian Jue led Xiaoyu to sit down on a cushioned chair, took the grapes from the table without ceremony, carefully peeled them with his fair and slender fingers, and personally offered them to Xiaoyu's mouth.
Qiao You didn't feel anything was wrong. This was how it was at home. Helian Jue liked to take care of every aspect of his life. As the only prince of the entire merfolk clan, Xiao Yu was naturally pampered. He didn't feel there was anything wrong with Helian Jue taking care of him. On the contrary, he quite enjoyed it.
"Helian Jue, you...you..." Su Yinchen felt this was completely outrageous!
Helian Jue, the person involved, ignored Su Yinchen. Instead, Qiao You looked up at Su Yinchen and gave her a questioning look.
For some reason, Su Yinchen felt a little awkward looking into Helian Jue's little spirit pet's clear eyes and wanted to avoid it.
Qiao You noticed Su Yinchen's evasive gaze and was utterly puzzled. He was a fish, liked to eat fish, and didn't eat people, so why was he afraid of him...?
"Eat your grapes obediently."
The grapes that suddenly appeared near Qiao You's lips interrupted his "self-reflection".
"Thank you, brother," Xiaoyu said to Helian Jue in a friendly manner.
Hearing the way the two addressed each other, Su Yinchen raised an eyebrow slightly, "Didn't you just call each other by name before? Now you're calling me 'older brother'?"
Qiao You blushed and shyly buried her head in eating grapes.
"Su Yinchen." Helian Jue's deep and authoritative voice rang out.
The person who was just smug immediately looked like a wilted blade of grass, drooping their head.
Qiao You found it amusing and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Helian Jue always looked at Qiao You with doting eyes, which displeased Su Yinchen, but he dared not say it aloud...
"Where is your little spirit pet?" Helian Jue asked, this being his second purpose for coming here today.
Since Helian Jue took Qiao You away from the Spirit Pet Pavilion, Xiao Yu has not had any contact with other spirit pets. Yesterday, he consulted the staff of the Spirit Pet Pavilion, and the professionals suggested that the little spirit pet should have more contact with its own kind, which would be of great benefit to its growth.
As a fish-loving fanatic, Helian Jue naturally took these words to heart and decided to put them into practice!
Su Yinchen was sitting two seats away from Helian Jue. "I'm sleeping. I won't wake up for a while."
Helian Jue frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Su Yinchen reported to Helian Jue on the recent business situation of Ruixin Group. Qiao You initially listened attentively, but became increasingly confused and eventually gave up.
Just accept Helian Jue's feeding; the little fish doesn't know anything.
While communicating with Su Yinchen, Helian Jue kept an eye on Xiaoyu.
The adorable little fish went from being full of energy at the beginning to becoming drowsy later, and eventually fell asleep resting on his wrist...
Su Yinchen was engrossed in her work report when Helian Jue suddenly interrupted her, telling her to keep her voice down.
"Sleeping so soundly, I won't wake up..."
Helian Jue gave her a glare, and Su Yinchen obediently shut her mouth and lowered her voice.
Su Yinchen saw that his cold-hearted cousin not only willingly served as a pillow for the spirit pet, but also gently helped it turn over after a while, afraid that it would be uncomfortable if it slept for too long.
Isn't this exactly what a male mom looks like?
Su Yinchen suddenly realized that his cousin actually had such a tendency?
Helian Jue glanced up casually and saw Su Yinchen's lewd expression. He said coldly, "Stop having those ridiculous ideas."
Su Yinchen, a wise man knows when to yield, had no choice but to bow her head...
Helian Jue looked at Su Yinchen with some disdain. If this person wasn't really his cousin, he wouldn't even give him a second glance.
"How's it going on Bell Star?" Helian Jue suddenly asked.
Some time ago, Su Yinchen went to Bel Star, ostensibly for an inspection, but in reality, he was assigned a mission by Helian Jue.
Getting back to the main topic, Su Yinchen's expression became slightly more serious. "On the surface, everything is fine."
The first three words were deliberately emphasized.
Helian Jue paused for a moment, then said, "In a few days, I'll have Sk and Vein make a trip there."
"Vayne? Didn't he go to a mining planet to mine?" Su Yinchen teased mercilessly. Everyone was saying that the noble Crown Prince had acted rashly for the sake of a spirit pet.
Helian Jue pretended not to hear Su Yinchen's words. Wei Yin went to a planet called Na Xing, which was a famous mining planet in the entire empire. Only the high-ranking military personnel knew the importance of Na Xing to the entire empire.
Su Yinchen, realizing she had made a fool of herself, fell silent.
Half an hour later, a waiter came to report to Su Yinchen that the spirit pet had woken up.
"I'll go take a look." Su Yinchen got up to go see his little spirit pet.
The Empire's pets are protected by Imperial law. Once a citizen of the Empire takes a pet from the Pet Pavilion, the interaction between the citizen and the pet is subject to the supervision of the Pet Pavilion, and no behavior that harms the pet is allowed.
Su Yinchen's spirit pet was brought back from the spirit pet pavilion five years ago. It was a small mermaid with a green fish tail and a kind and gentle personality.
Helian Jue wanted Xiaoyu to make some friends so she wouldn't be bored.
As soon as Su Yinchen left, Helian Jue felt a dampness on his wrist. Looking down, he saw that Xiaoyu was having a dream and was smacking her lips. Her pink tongue accidentally touched his wrist.
Helian Jue felt a sudden unease for some reason, but it quickly subsided, as if the awkwardness he felt just moments before was merely his imagination...
"elder brother."
Helian Jue snapped back to reality, gently rubbing the little fish's head with his fingers, and said tenderly, "Are you awake?"
Qiao You, somewhat embarrassed, held Helian Jue's fingers and gave an awkward "hmm".
