[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Chloe felt as if she hadn't heard clearly, and muttered again: "What did you do?"

The Durands looked at each other and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it seems like we've done something wrong—"

A few years ago, the two of them moved to Liyue, ready to start a new life. By chance, they got in touch with the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, which enabled them to gain a foothold in a foreign country.

It’s just that Mr. Durand was deceived some time ago and seemed to have signed a yin-yang contract.

This kind of Yin-Yang contract is said to be a very serious crime in Liyue, because it involves suspected tax evasion and the person will be thrown into jail.

Mr. Durand was frightened, and fled back with his wife, leaving behind a large sum of money due on the real and fake contracts.

However, since their wealth had been accumulated in Liyue in recent years, it was inconvenient to deal with it hastily, so their current situation of bankruptcy was similar to what Chloe had initially guessed.

But it's still worse than simple bankruptcy.

Chloe now finally understood why they felt guilty when they saw Villette. They were afraid that the relevant departments in Liyue would hand the matter over to Fontaine. Their first reaction when they saw the Supreme Inquisitor was whether he was here to arrest them.

They looked guilty and happened to be in the center of the storm, so it's no wonder that Villette took action against them.

The Durands had just returned to Fontaine and had not heard about the scandal that had been making headlines a while ago. Naturally, they had no idea why Villette was with their daughter. They were still complaining, "Why didn't you tell us earlier that the Supreme Inquisitor was--"

If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have come.

Chloe said the same thing: "It was obviously you who didn't tell me you were coming back earlier."

The Durands looked aggrieved in unison: "We clearly sent a letter to tell you what happened some time ago, but you never replied to us."

As the most reliable person in the family, the Durands often sought Chloe's opinions on important matters. Before leaving Liyue, they naturally wrote to her to ask for her opinion, but because they never received a reply, they made the decision to return to Fontaine.

Chloe got the exact time of mailing the letter from them. After some calculation, it seemed very reasonable that when she and Villette just started writing to each other, she stared at the mailbox in the Momang Palace every day and forgot about the one at home.

It seemed like she hadn't opened the mailbox at her door for a long time in the past two months.

After realizing this, Chloe suddenly felt guilty and quickly pretended to be serious to change the subject: "Well, forget it, there is no other way now. I will try to figure out how to solve this matter. You just stay at home and rest assured during this time."

The Durands, who had no regard for their dignity in front of their own daughter, immediately looked at her like a hero.

Chloe was quite impressed by their tricks. Her ears turned red and she even walked a little unsteadily. "Let's go home."

The Durands immediately followed her.

But they didn't expect that this sentence of going home was not just for them -

Three hours later, after they had even gathered together to enjoy the dinner Chloe had made, they looked at the man opposite them, who was wiping his mouth elegantly with a napkin, and fell into deep thought.

After all, he had not been arrested for such a long time. Chloe had no objection to this picture. Mr. Durand had already figured out that the Supreme Judge would not suddenly attack him. At this time, he boldly asked: "Then Lord Villette, it's so late, aren't you going back?"

That Villette was stunned.

He thought Chloe should have told them what happened before.
In fact, Chloe wanted to tell her, but living with a strange man is embarrassing no matter how you look at it! Someone's ostrich nature kicked in, and he simply put it off until now.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mrs. Durand twisted her husband's waist hard, causing Mr. Durand, who was originally standing, to slump back into the chair with a hideous and distorted expression.

Madam Durand quickly stood in front of him and spoke on his behalf: "We don't mean to chase you away. We are just curious as to why you are still staying at our daughter's house so late. After all, there is an old saying in Liyue that men and women should not touch each other, right..."

Obviously, neither husband nor wife is good at talking.

However, Villette was not the kind of person who would think too much about what others said. He did not show any displeasure when he heard it. He just explained the matter of the pure white lily of the valley and also told how the two of them knew each other.

Chloe, who happened to have gone out to feed the little sea otters, came back and heard what they were talking about. She immediately hid behind the wall, wanting to hear what Villette was saying about herself.

But perhaps Villette himself couldn't explain the answer clearly.

Gentle? Thoughtful? Or something else?
That Villette just felt that all these positive words could be applied to her.

There was nothing inappropriate. Every bit of Chloe was vivid and beautiful to him. She was the most perfect human being he had ever imagined before he received the invitation from the water god and actually came to the country of Fontaine.

Such emotions also affected his narration. In his mouth, Chloe almost became a perfect person. What's more terrifying is that what he said was obviously the truth, but it was as if it was presented through ten layers of filters.

Chloe hid behind the wall, unable to contain her happiness and feeling extremely ashamed at the same time.

Without her noticing, Villette had already mentioned the first time she went to Momang Palace to find him and hoped that he would withdraw from the security agency.

"At that time, Ms. Chloe said that my home was lacking in popularity because there were security agencies all around, and she hoped that I could move to—"

Before he could finish his words, Chloe, who had finally come to her senses, hurriedly covered his mouth: "Enough, enough, no need to go into so much detail!"

But even if Violet didn't finish her words, her parents, who were good at having fun while doing serious work, had already guessed something from their behavior.

Chloe looked up and met the two men's teasing gazes.

Her face was red as if blood was dripping out, and she drove them away in shame and anger: "Why are you still sitting here after dinner! Are you going to sleep tonight? Hurry up, take a shower, and then go back to your own room! Aren't you annoying me by always pestering Lord Villette with questions?"

Mrs. Durand knew that her daughter was shy, so she held back her laughter and pulled Mr. Durand to his feet. They obediently went to the guest room to find clothes to prepare for the next wash. However, as soon as the door of the room was closed, the two of them couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Even the soundproof door couldn't block out their rampant laughter.

Chloe cursed the unreliable parents under her breath.

Before things calmed down over there, Navelette also joined in the fun.

The simple judge held her hand and saved his mouth. The first words he said again were: "Ms. Chloe, didn't you tell me before that you only have one room in your house?"
