Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

She could clearly hear Emerald chuckle a few times, and the heat around her ear slowly rose to her cheeks again.

"Yes, I also hate to let you leave me."

"But your eyes are saying you want to go to Pinocchio, where there are people you want to pay attention to."

Jade had said more than once that she liked Xilan's light purple eyes.

I like it very much now.

"You're paying too much attention to that pioneer of the Star Train. You can guess who it is just by looking at him."

How could a little guy's thoughts possibly escape the notice of an adult?

You could tell from the look in Little Yellow's and Little Gray's eyes that they had different feelings for their little fox.

But what exactly does his little fox think of that pioneer?

Emerald patiently awaited Xi Lan's reply.

"...I...I love Xing..."

Xi Lan instinctively covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at Emerald, her voice sounding muffled.

"...I always worry about whether the other person has enough to eat, whether they are warm enough, and whether they will encounter any danger."

"I don't know why I feel this way about her, like a single mother raising a child, worrying about everything concerning her. I don't know why I have this feeling..."

Confused about her own feelings, Xi Lan peeked through her fingers at the smiling Jade Lady, her eyes filled with anguish, and asked her this question.

"Is this what motherly love is, Lady Emerald?"

Emerald, with her eyes narrowed and a smile on her face, responded to Xi Lan's question with a natural expression.

"That's right, this is indeed maternal love."

It's best if this relationship doesn't turn sour.

Chapter 126 The Triangle is the Most Stable!

Meanwhile, Topa and Sandkin, after hanging up the video call, looked at each other, with the former touching his chin.

"Did you also see those things on Sister Xilan and Ms. Emerald just now...?" Toppa asked her colleague in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm sure I didn't see wrong..."

Sand Gold nodded seriously, then looked at the person beside him with a subtle smile.

"Although I already knew that Sister Xilan and that lady had such a close relationship... Hey, Director Topa, do you still have confidence?"

The man in front of her smiled and patted Toppa's shoulder as if to comfort her, while Toppa was deep in thought.

"Well, whatever you do, good luck. Pinocchio has a lot of preliminary work to do, I'm going to get busy now~"

He blinked his strange eyes and left with a smile.

Only Toppa remained, standing there with a complicated expression.

"A family of three is just fine too."

Toppa muttered to himself, seemingly agreeing with his own statement: "After all, triangles are more stable."

But how can she get Xilan to stop treating her like a younger sister?

A rare hint of sorrow flashed in those beautiful eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by the other person, who pretended that nothing had happened.

Well, it's rare for Sister Xilan and Ms. Emerald to have a vacation right now, so it doesn't seem like there's any point in her thinking about these things.

Even though they knew the relationship between the two was quite different, and didn't seem like that of a typical guardian and adopted daughter...

Hmm... Thinking so much will only make Toppa feel distressed.

I should go back to work.

Toppa simply shook his head, banishing those strange thoughts from his mind.

She touched her neck, but then subconsciously recalled the obvious marks on the shoulders of the two men.

"Ugh..."

When will I be able to join in?

Under the 'enlightenment' of the Emerald Lady, Xi Lan vaguely understood her feelings for Xing.

Although there was still a hint of confusion on his face, he no longer looked like he knew nothing.

No one bothered us during the rest of the dinner time, and we enjoyed the remaining hot pot to ourselves.

Jade didn't eat much; most of the dishes she ordered ended up in the stomach of a certain gluttonous fox.

"Are you full? Would you like some dessert?"

Emerald looked at Xi Lan, whose face was full of satisfaction, chuckled a few times, and asked a few questions in a soft voice.

Xi Lan shook her head.

"I can't eat anymore, Ms. Emerald. I need to take a walk to digest it later, otherwise I feel too full."

Emerald, who rarely refuses any of Xi Lan's requests, naturally agreed.

After finishing their hot pot meal, the two, naturally still smelling slightly of it, held each other's hands familiarly and strolled leisurely out of the restaurant.

It just so happens that at this time, there are quite a few people strolling around Luofu after dinner.

Emerald and Xilan simply strolled around in a less crowded area for a while before quietly gazing at the scenery of Luofu.

“If only it could stay like this forever.”

Enjoying the cool breeze, Xi Lan squinted her eyes in contentment, and the fox ears on her head twitched unconsciously.

And that fluffy tail, as if trying to please the person beside it, subtly rubbed the tip of its tail against Emerald's calf.

"Hmm, such a peaceful life doesn't seem so bad."

Jade merely smiled faintly, her lips slightly upturned, but she tightened her grip on Xi Lan's hand once more.

"Do you really like being here in Luofu?"

Hearing what the other person said, Xi Lan, feeling a little shy, scratched her cheek with her free hand: "...No, it's just that I'm very happy to have Ms. Emerald here."

The tail behind it swished leisurely, and unlike its owner, this tail was exceptionally frank.

She gave a gentle smile.

"Although I can't stay by your side for long, how about we buy a property here?"

"It wouldn't hurt to take a stroll during your free time," Emerald suggested naturally, turning her head slightly to quietly observe the fox lady beside her.

Xi Lan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "...Mm."

There's no need for the two of them to acknowledge any relationship.

I'm content just knowing that the other person will always be by my side.

Xi Lan and Emerald held hands, chatting about their future renovations and expectations for the new house. They planned to stroll around a bit more before returning to the hotel to rest.

But fate always likes to play tricks on people.

Xi Lan seemed to vaguely sense that someone was following her.

Turning her head suspiciously, Miss Fox, whose eyesight was already maxed out, immediately spotted the gradient-colored ball that hadn't had time to hide.

Xi Lan could even hear the other person groan.

As for who followed March 7 the most, Xi Lan didn't even need to think to know who had come first.

"what happened?"

Jade followed Xi Lan's gaze but didn't find anyone strange.

"I saw two familiar little ones, so I went to say hello. Ms. Emerald, would you like to come along?"

"No, I'll just wait for you here. You can go and say hello to the kids you know."

Jade seemed quite understanding as she released Xilan's hand.

However, when Xi Lan left, Emerald took out her terminal and looked at the experiences of the new pioneer on the Starry Sky Train.

They joined the Star Train from the Black Tower Space Station.

There was no prior experience... it was as if it didn't exist at all, more like someone who appeared out of thin air.

However, the other party seems to have some connection with the Star Core Hunter.

If that's the case...

So, it's quite clear why the little guy is so focused on that Trail Blazer.

It seems the little fox is hiding something from me again.

But she was surprisingly calm.

After all, based on his previous conversation with Xi Lan, the child didn't understand why he was paying so much attention to that little blond guy... uh, cough cough, little gray guy.

Jade's grey-blue eyes watched quietly as Xi Lan pulled March 7th and Xing out from behind the billboard. Sure enough, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That's it.

Anyway, kids definitely have a lot of secrets, and since my little fox doesn't want to tell me... then I don't plan to ask any more questions.

Perhaps one day, the little fox will take the initiative to tell her what he has been hiding.

Just by thinking about it this way, her dark thoughts were somewhat suppressed in Jade's heart.

She simply stared quietly in the direction of Xi Lan, her eyes narrowed, watching the noisy children with an unreadable smile.

"Have you two been following me for a while? Hmm? Xing? Why did you bring Xiao Sanyue along this time?"
