Chapter 57

Jiang Yue and Su Jing packed their bags that night and prepared to set off for the Izumo Empire.

After what happened last time, Lan Heng moved into the guest room next to Su Jing on the second floor on the pretext of protecting Li Zhi's safety.

Su Jing's inner alarm bells rang in response to this. When Jiang Yue was packing his luggage, he went to his room, glared at him coldly, and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

"Hey, don't tell me you can't see that Lan has feelings for Xiaolizhi. Are you really so careless? Aren't you afraid that your house will be robbed when you come back?"

Jiang Yue paused as he was packing his luggage and answered irrelevantly, "Sir, he is SS-class."

Su Jing crossed his arms across his chest and raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Jiang Yue lowered his eyes and whispered, "My Lord has been relying on willpower and artificial pheromone inhibitors that are not completely effective to force himself through the estrus period. I'm afraid he has been racing against time and forcing himself to become a machine because he doesn't have much time."

Su Jing was silent now. After all, he couldn't say anything to refuse his altruistic remarks. After a long time, he sighed.

".Now I don't know whether Lan is protecting Xiaoli Zhi or Xiaoli Zhi is protecting him."

“It’s all good for them.”

Jiang Yue's voice was low, as if he was counseling Su Jing, or as if he was convincing himself.

"Zhizhi is an SSS-level existence. She is a legend and a miracle to everyone. She has her own sacred mission, and it doesn't belong to just us."

"Of course I know. Just protect her silently."

When Su Jing mentioned this, he looked unhappy and helpless. He could only vent his anger on someone else and be sarcastic.

"You are so open-minded! You are worthy of being the eldest wife."

Dafang·Jiang Yue: "."

Although he was persuaded, Su Jing still pulled Li Zhi and told him unwillingly before leaving: "Little Li Zhi, that snake has bad intentions, you have to be careful."

Li Zhi's mind suddenly drifted away, and she recalled the last time Lan Heng stayed here, and how she blushed and had her heart beating fast in the bathroom.

She glanced at Lan Heng's expression and saw that he looked calm. She shook off the messy thoughts in her mind and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Su Jing touched her head with satisfaction, glanced at someone coldly with the sidelong glance, and deliberately raised his voice.

"Wait until we come back, and make snake soup for us~"

Li Zhi: “.” Don’t talk about this in front of others!
"?" Lan Heng's gaze fell on Li Zhi, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Li Zhi immediately lowered his head and acted like a well-behaved quail.

Jiang Yue's dark eyes showed a faint smile, and he also touched Li Zhi's head: "Wait for us to come back."

"Good~"

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, suppressed her inner shyness, and gave him a reluctant hug.

Su Jing immediately raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and yelled: "Xiao Lizhi, you are biased, I want it too!"

Li Zhi also gave him a hug generously.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back safely!"

The next day, when Li Zhi got up in the morning and went downstairs, the kitchen was as usual, with the symphony of pots and pans and the tempting aroma of food, full of the flavor of life.

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, almost thinking that Jiang Yue had not left. After hesitating for a moment, she walked to the door.

A slender and dignified man wearing a black apron stood in front of the stove. The sunlight shone on him through the window. The gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose reflected the light. It was Lan Heng.

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed. How could she let the guests get up early to cook? "Sir, how do you make breakfast? Let me do it." "No need. You are a female. I will do it."

Although Lan Heng holds a high position and great power, he also has basic masculine virtues, as well as hands-on and cooking abilities. Naturally, he would not let females cook for him like a certain fox who is bad at cooking.

His eyes behind the lenses swept over Li Zhi calmly, his Adam's apple moving slightly.

She was wearing a white puff-sleeved dress today, and her hair was fluffy and slightly curly, hanging naturally on her shoulders, like a small daisy that had just bloomed and was covered with dew in the early morning, especially fresh and beautiful.

For some reason, Lan Heng suddenly felt that his ordinary day had suddenly become different from the moment he saw her.

Li Zhi on the opposite side was also secretly glancing at Lan Heng.

His misty blue hair was carefully combed back, the collar of his neatly ironed white shirt was loosely undone, revealing his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone, and his black apron was neatly tied back on his body.

His sleeves were half rolled up to his arms, revealing his slender and powerful forearms and a black watch. He held the spatula in his hand and cooked the food in an orderly manner.

He has the feeling of an elite, overbearing, housewife in a girl's comic, like a comic book boy.
"Li Zhi." Lan Heng suddenly spoke in a low and mellow voice.

Li Zhi, who was staring at the "husband" in a daze and blushing, suddenly came back to her senses, her heart skipped a beat, and she responded in panic: "Huh?"

"I can't free my hands. Could you please help me wipe it?"

Lan Heng held the pot in one hand and the spatula in the other. He lowered his head slightly, revealing a forehead covered with sweat.

"Um, okay, okay."

Li Zhi didn't have time to think about why he couldn't put down the spatula and wipe it himself. After responding, she immediately took a paper towel from the stove and gently helped him wipe it.

In this position, the two people were very close to each other and could even feel each other's breath. Silent ambiguity spread in the kitchen.

It was Lan Heng who was sweating, but the more Li Zhi wiped his face, the redder it became. After wiping her flushed cheeks, she asked him to help set the table, then quickly ran to the dining room with the plates, knife and fork.

Lan Heng watched her run away like a frightened little rabbit. He lowered his eyes to hide the gleam in his narrow eyes, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and continued to cook slowly.

Slow cooking over low heat also gives it a wonderful flavor.

On the other side, in the magnificent palace.

Lina looked at Luo Chen, who was fidgeting, unable to eat, and looked like he was suffering from lovesickness, and teased him helplessly.

"I say, you just met yesterday, just one night, do you think like this?"

Luo Chen didn't even glance at her, and said coolly: "You don't understand."

"." Lina twitched her red lips lightly, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears: "If you miss me, go ask me out to play."

"You don't understand." Luo Chen threw out the same three words again, paused, and was only handsome for three seconds. He couldn't hold it and held his head in distress: "That's too abrupt! And for the first date, I always have to plan it carefully!"

Lina wanted to tease him, and drank a sip of rose tea with a smile: "Then you can plan slowly, I will ask Li Zhi baby to go out for an outing."

"?" Luo Chen immediately jumped up and raised his hand: "I'm going too!"

Lina's phoenix eyes were filled with a smile, and she glanced at him sideways, as if smiling: "Didn't someone just say that I don't understand?"

When it comes to the woman he likes, Luo Chen immediately bends and stretches, and he starts to act coquettishly with his sister: "You understand, you understand, sister, you understand best."

Lina tapped his forehead with her jade finger, shook her head and laughed, “Hahahahahahaha, you~”

Li Zhi's smart brain beeped, and when he opened it, he saw the message from Princess Lina.

[Lina: Li Zhi baby, the weather is nice today. We have nothing to do. Let’s go play~]
