Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 178 Our Family
"It would be great if you married Ita in the future. You'd be a perfect match, and I'd feel at ease knowing you'd be a family together."

"No, what are you talking about?" Caesar said, speechless.

"Marriage is also an option, right?" Yumilia asked.

“Sigh, I’m also worried about Caesar’s future. Caesar is such a good boy. I’ll feel sad if he marries a stranger. But Ita is great. We’re family. Even after you get married, you’ll still be my children.”

As Yumilia spoke, a hopeful expression appeared on her face, with a spoon in her mouth.

Caesar's lips twitched. "Heh, heh heh, that's a bit too early for me. Let's talk about it later."

To be honest, if Ita were just an ordinary girl, he wouldn't have such a big problem with her, but the key is that she is Leogard's great-granddaughter, and he has always regarded her as a close junior. Ita's confession that night was enough to make him feel exhausted.

"So what kind of girl does Caesar want to marry in the future?" Yumilia asked again.

"I've already said this is too early for me."

"Tell me about it, just like we usually chat," Yumilia said, looking very curious.

In her eyes, Caesar was an outstanding boy who would achieve great things in the future. What kind of person would she entrust her life to?

"my words"

Caesar had never actually considered this kind of question. His only impression of a partner was that of Greta, who was virtuous, gentle, and silently supportive of him.

But if you want him to describe it more perfectly...
"I'd prefer someone with a shared language, common ideals, knowledge and cultivation, and someone who can help each other in all aspects. Also..."

"Caesar."

Although she knew Caesar was joking, Yumilia still sighed helplessly.

She coughed lightly, her cheeks flushed, and said in a serious, elder's tone, "Marriage is a major life event, and Caesar should think it over carefully. He should consider it thoroughly with whomever he chooses. Someone as popular with girls as Caesar shouldn't be so casual about relationships. However, I still hope you can marry Itha."

“I know, I know,” Caesar sighed. Yumilia always worried too much about him.

Yumilia was already full when only a small piece of cake remained. She lay on the sofa, rubbing her round little belly.
"Hmm, I feel like I don't need to cook dinner anymore," she said grumbling.

“That’s perfect, I’m full too. Let’s take a rare day off today,” Caesar said, tidying up the cake boxes on the table.

"This is wonderful! I never expected Caesar to prepare such a surprise for me today. I'm so happy!" Yumilia said cheerfully.

“But you’ll be all alone tomorrow,” Caesar said.

"Okay, I'm very happy with today. You have to have lots of fun with Ita tomorrow," Yumilia said.

Seeing Caesar had just finished cleaning up the trash, she couldn't help but smile.
"Caesar, come here, come here." She beckoned.

"what happened?"

Caesar walked over, and Yumilia reached out and took his hand, tilting her head back to leave a gentle kiss on his cheek.

She affectionately ruffled Caesar's hair, her eyes crinkling as she smiled happily.

"Thank you for today, Caesar."

At 6:30 in the morning, Ita woke up from her sleep. Her messy black hair clung to her cheeks, and the strap of her nightgown was slung over one side. She sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

My drowsy state vanished the moment I saw the calendar on the wall; it circled today's date, signifying an important holiday.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, but finally drifted off to sleep amidst all sorts of fantasies.

He rubbed his face vigorously to wake himself up, then immediately rolled over and got out of bed.

The maids outside were all ready. After her morning bath, she specially chose a mature perfume. This kind of perfume doesn't have a strong scent; it brings out the girl's natural body fragrance and makes the hormones in that fragrance stronger. She had once heard Caesar say that he didn't like the smell of strong perfume.

As for clothes, since it's winter, there's not much to show off her figure (although she doesn't actually have any), so she chose a more preppy style.
A fluffy white coat paired with a cream-colored striped pleated skirt, revealing slender calves encased in white tights, and chunky-soled ankle boots.
Today, Ita also made a point of letting her hair down, her waist-length hair flowing freely, which added to her charm.

The family beautician also spent the whole morning designing a very natural makeup look for her that would significantly enhance her natural charm.

Now Ita stands in front of the full-length mirror, looking at herself, feeling very satisfied.

"Okay, let's go!"

Caesar was watching a bird in the treetop building its nest with a twig when he noticed a vehicle parked in front of him.

"Caesar!" Ita's exquisite and charming face appeared from the car window, waving at him.

"Good morning."

"It's ten o'clock, not early at all. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Caesar chuckled and reached out through the car window to ruffle Ita's hair.

"After all, I prepared a little extra today because I was going on a date with Caesar," Ita said shyly.

Caesar got into the car and sat next to her. Ita then noticed that he seemed to have put a lot of thought into his outfit today. According to her past memories, Caesar's clothes had always been very ordinary, but today they were particularly eye-catching.

"It seems Caesar is quite interested in this date," Ita thought to herself.

“You look very handsome today, Caesar,” Ita said.

"The outfit Yumilia put together for me, to be honest, I think it's a bit too complicated," Caesar chuckled.

"Oh right, what about Yumilia?"

“We’re going to spend today with Freya, so let’s have fun and don’t worry,” Caesar said. “But she seems a little disappointed that she can’t come along.”

“After all, today is a special holiday,” Ita said softly.

"Oh? What holiday?" Caesar looked at her with amusement.

“Caesar, no, you don’t know?” Ita said, his mouth agape.

"Should I know?"

"Hmm," Ita lowered her head in disappointment. She had thought that Caesar had come to their date knowing that today was a special day, but he hadn't known at all.

"It's nothing," Xiaolong said softly.

Seeing her dejected look, Caesar breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"I know you specifically called me out today. Did you watch a stage play or a romance movie? You're so young, and you're already thinking about DVDs."

"I...I also wanted to create a certain atmosphere," Ita said, rubbing her cheek that had been pinched sore.

So Caesar did know after all.
Caesar stared at her for a while before turning his gaze away. Ita, feeling a little shy, didn't know what to say.
She was looking down when a large bouquet of bright red roses was brought up in front of her.

"This is..." Her eyes widened, and she was overjoyed.

"I bought them on the way, as a way of respecting the festival tradition." Caesar held up the roses, but his eyes were not looking this way.

"Thank you, Caesar!" Ita accepted the large bouquet of roses with a look of deep satisfaction on her face.

Her feelings were reciprocated, and she could no longer hide her excitement. She turned to look at Caesar and found him still standing there, pretending not to care, gazing out the window.

With a slight pursing of her lips, Ita took the initiative to step forward.
She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, leaned affectionately against his shoulder, and wrapped her arms around his.

Caesar shifted slightly, but still acquiesced to her intimacy.

She gazed at Caesar, pursed her lips, and felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Hmph, he looks so nonchalant, but he actually prepared roses just for me, the kind of roses reserved for lovers. How arrogant Caesar is.

Ita chuckled, then suddenly remembered something else.

By the way, where did he just pull such a big bouquet of flowers out of?
The car quickly arrived near the commercial street. The stage play started at 2:40 pm and ended at 7 pm, so they had a long time to go shopping and have fun before then.

Ita had already planned it all out: first, she would go shopping and have fun with Caesar; after watching the stage play in the afternoon, they would have dinner together; and finally, taking advantage of the atmosphere, she would ask for treatment, pushing the ambiguous atmosphere to a climax.

Who knows, we might even take it a step further tonight. Even if Zhuo Ai isn't quite there yet, at least kissing is no problem, right?
Ita felt a little excited when she thought about this.

Before getting off the bus, she took out her lipstick from her pocket and applied it in front of the small mirror.

"Are you putting on lipstick?" Caesar asked when he saw this.

"It's lip balm, a gift from Freya. Winter's here, and it's uncomfortable to have dry lips outdoors," Ita said.

She pursed her lips, and in the mirror, her thin, cherry-blossom-colored lips looked as delicate as two flower petals. After applying lipstick, they appeared even more radiant and captivating, enough to make anyone want to savor them.

"Oh, Caesar, would you like to put this on?" She handed him her freshly applied lipstick.

“I’ll pass. Freya gave me one before, but I didn’t like it,” Caesar said.

They got off the car and entered the bustling market.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a festival for young people; the streets were packed with people today, mostly young couples, all huddled together affectionately.

"There are so many people."

"Where do you want to go first?" Caesar asked.

"Hmm," Ita shifted her gaze, "If it's alright, Caesar, could you come with me to buy some clothes first?"

After all, buying clothes is an intimate activity that can bring people closer together.

Caesar listened to her and they all headed towards the shopping center.

There were quite a few people on the street. Inadvertently, Ita noticed that Caesar was holding her hand. It was warm and made her feel very safe, which made her smile.

"Let me see, we should go this way."

Ita was looking in the direction he was going when he accidentally bumped into the person in front of him.

"Ah, sorry. Hmm? Xiao Sa?" came a surprised voice from the other end.

Caesar then looked up and saw that the person standing in front of him was Professor Muirner.

Upon seeing her, Ita's expression immediately changed.

Muirner looked at them, his stunned expression quickly returning to normal, a bright smile spreading across his face as he waved:

"Hello, good morning, Xiao Sa."
