Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

If you pretend to be pitiful...

Actually, what she just said wasn't just feigning helplessness; it was simply the truth.

I just don't know how these words will sound to Xi Lan.

The female employee sitting to the side listened to what the two little ones were saying, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Since Ms. Jade didn't say anything, why would she speak up?

After all, the other person is just a child. Who would hold such a grudge against a child?

The female employee plans to become a ruthless office worker, only responsible for completing the tasks assigned to her.

Once this mission is over, her bonus will double.

However, before the task was over, the female employee insisted on keeping a close eye on this thing that could do something out of common sense at any time.

If we don't keep a close eye on this little guy...

That's a terrible thing.

I simply can't imagine life without bonuses.

The female employee sighed subtly, her gaze once again falling on Xi Lan.

She looks extremely well-maintained and wouldn't do any dirty or strenuous work. Not to mention that there are people in the department who like foxes, she now knows that Lady Emerald also cares about this little fox.

I'm really curious about her identity.

With her mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, the female employee dutifully stayed by the side of the two little ones.

Using his own weapons, he was quite successful in blocking the malicious gazes around him.

Jade has already entered working mode, processing work from headquarters.

But the monitoring terminal was still hanging to one side, and his eyes would occasionally fall on it. He turned his head to listen to Xi Lan's conversation with that unknown little guy, and of course, the smile on his face never stopped.

Sometimes I'm really curious about what's going on in this kid's little head.

It was quite interesting.

And she even refused the little guy's invitation...

The unusual hair color made Jade remember the other party, and perhaps she would indeed meet this little guy again later?

After shifting her gaze back to herself, Emerald rested her chin on one hand, as if deep in thought.

Her fingertip touched the document.

If the people on this planet go through a contract, they will gradually get back on the right path under the company's intervention.

It should take about a few years.

However, this is contingent on the planet's administrators ceasing their greed and signing the agreement directly.

It's just a pity that they were too greedy and wanted everything.

Moreover, even if it drags on, the company won't suffer any losses; it won't lose money anyway.

But jade doesn't care about so many issues.

Just as I thought, she wasn't the one in charge of handling things here.

She was just taking the little one for a casual stroll before returning to headquarters; coming here was purely accidental.

I never expected that this little fox would like to bring people along.

Should we give her more responsibilities later? That way, she won't overthink things later.

While thinking, Jade unconsciously touched her cheek.

Seemingly recalling the feeling of the little one's touch against her cheek, the woman smiled, appearing to be in a good mood.

If only every day could be as well-behaved as this morning.

Unfortunately...

The little fox was still a bit too shy in front of her.

On the bright side, however, they no longer resemble the tearful, star-core hunters they were looking for when they first met.

Compared to keeping it by my side for a few more years...

The fox-person seems to be only two or three hundred years old. What period would be considered the child's adolescence?

In the past, Jade would never have thought she would care so much about a child.

Especially since they were abandoned by a group of ill-intentioned people.

When did you start caring so much about this little one?

Jade pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.

It seems that it just happened naturally; over time, she began to care for this child in this way.

That's really strange.

She pinched the bridge of her nose.

But once again, the soft, warm touch against my cheek came back to mind.

...It's as if all those annoying things have suddenly disappeared.

Jade simply smiled helplessly.

That's it.

So be it.

At least for now, it's good to let Xilan stay by her side.

And then...

He had no intention of letting the little guy leave him.

She thought to herself with a smile.

Chapter Thirty (Draft)!!!

"Ah!"

Through the mask, Xi Lan seemed to sense that someone was talking about her, and sneezed.

As a result, a single sneeze caused the female employee standing to the side to appear even more nervous than Xi Lan herself.

"Are you feeling unwell? Should we go back and get checked out again? Oh, right, I accidentally forgot to give you the medicine the doctor prescribed..."

Xi Lan simply wagged her tail, glancing at the female employee who was lost in her own thoughts, and decided to offer an explanation for herself.

"No, I'm fine, I just sneezed."

She subconsciously sniffed, but didn't smell anything strange, nor was it a problem with the mask.

Perhaps someone is talking about her?

Xing did say that if she suddenly sneezed, it was definitely because someone was talking about her.

For some unknown reason, Xi Lan also remembered those words.

Could it be that Kaffa and the others are talking about me?

A flicker of disappointment crossed her face, but she forced herself to cheer up and continued following Yelena to her home.

After the air purifier in the room was turned on, Xi Lan finally took off the mask on her face.

The female employee tacitly approved of Xi Lan's actions.

After all, the situation inside the house does seem to be much better than the situation outside.

But he still kept his gaze fixed on the little fox and wouldn't look away.

Although she wasn't used to it, Xi Lan could only silently endure it, after all, she had done something wrong yesterday and frightened the other party.

Only after removing her mask did Yelena reveal the curiosity befitting her age, looking left and right at Xi Lan's face.

She removed her mask so quickly yesterday that Yelena didn't have time to see her face clearly.

After wiping her hands on her clothes, she blinked her beautiful light blue eyes and touched Xi Lan's face without any hesitation.

She even touched the little fox's rosy eye.

She didn't seem to care at all about Yelena's curiosity, letting her touch her as if she were a younger sister.

Although, as I touched it, it eventually moved to my ear.

It's okay, the other person is younger than me, it's fine for her to touch me.

Even Xi Lan showed little patience for Estella when dealing with Yelena.

Perhaps it's because they feel the other person isn't doing well, or perhaps it's because they simply can't stand seeing this kind of thing...

Is there anything she can do?

The naive little fox wanted to help the people of this planet, especially Yelena.

But after thinking it over, she realized that she couldn't do anything on her own except find Ms. Emerald.

After hesitating for a while, seeing how much Yelena liked her tail and ears, she finally decided to let her continue touching them.

Should we go back and ask Lady Emerald about the future of this planet?

When this decision came to her mind, Xi Lan was already prepared to face it.

She couldn't explain where she got the courage from.
