Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

This sudden attack also startled Jade.

By the time she came to her senses, Xi Lan, the shy fox, had already broken free from Emerald's restraints and burrowed into the bedding.

Only Emerald remained lying on the edge of the bed, touching her own lips in a rare moment of daze.

It seems quite different from what I imagined?

All she wanted was a kiss on the cheek.

.....

But this seems pretty good?

She chuckled a few times, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Xilan, who was huddled under the covers, refusing to come out, with only her tail wagging wildly remaining.

As the one being kissed, Jade was clearly in a good mood.

At least for now, she doesn't look like she's been driven to laughter by Xi Lan's antics.

Xi Lan felt that her relationship with Ms. Emerald seemed to have changed somewhat because of this kiss.

She didn't know how to face Ms. Jade now.

Now, Xi Lan could only cower inside the covers, too afraid to face her outside.

Ms. Jade will probably act as if nothing happened, right?

Xi Lan huddled under the covers, thinking about it with some uncertainty.

The next day, while Xi Lan was washing up, she glanced at Ms. Emerald, who was sitting on the bed and looked like she hadn't woken up properly, but only looked at her a few times before looking away.

After she finished washing up, Xi Lan, enduring the lingering pain in her buttocks, prepared to go out and get some breakfast.

When I looked at Jade again, I found that she had just put on her clothes and was no longer as dazed as before. She had even applied her usual lipstick.

Her gaze also fell upon Xi Lan herself, who was preparing to leave.

Good morning, Ms. Emerald?

For some reason, Xi Lan had a bad feeling.

Emerald simply narrowed her eyes at the bewildered fox, a slight smile playing on her lips, and waved to her.

Although Xi Lan didn't know what was going on, she still endured the pain and took small, quick steps to get closer to Lady Emerald.

Her hand naturally rested on Xi Lan's shoulder, and with a little force, she could make the fox lower its head.

A fresh lipstick mark landed on Xi Lan's lips.

This is probably what they mean by reciprocity, right?

She squinted her eyes with delight, looking at the big fox who seemed quite bewildered, before finally bursting into laughter.

Good morning, Xiao Xilan.

She patted Xi Lan on the shoulder and mentioned that she wanted something light for breakfast, and asked her not to forget to bring it to her office.

He then left the room as if nothing had happened.

Only Xi Lan remained, touching her lips with a somewhat bewildered and helpless expression, seemingly completely unaware of what had just happened.

It wasn't until she saw her reflection in the mirror that she snapped out of her daze of having been kissed first thing in the morning.

...Something seems off.

But I was also a little happy inside.

What exactly is this complex emotion?

With mixed feelings, Xi Lan wiped the purple lipstick from her lips and took several deep breaths, seemingly trying to calm her overly complicated emotions.

What exactly is her relationship with Lady Emerald?

With a subtle sigh, Xi Lan readjusted herself, and once her face no longer looked so strange, she took small steps and slowly made her way to the cafeteria to enjoy breakfast.

As for Ms. Emerald's breakfast, she probably wasn't in a hurry.

Ugh... I should have known better than to make such careless remarks.

Otherwise, so many things wouldn't have happened.

Xi Lan sipped her milk and chewed on her bread slices when the terminal in her pocket beeped a few more times.

She thought it would be some kind of work handover, but after glancing at it a few times, Xi Lan discovered that the number she had previously blocked had somehow been unblocked again.

[A child kidnapper seeking a reward: Blocking someone isn't a good thing, darling. I hadn't even finished speaking yet.]

[The child kidnapper who wanted a reward: You and I had so much to talk about before, didn't we?]

[The child kidnapper who wanted a reward: Next time, next time I'll give you a gift you'll never forget.]

[A child kidnapper seeking a reward: You'll like it.] (??)

Upon seeing this, Xi Lan sneered and then, expressionless, blocked the other party again.

No matter what gift she gives, she will no longer pay the price for her curiosity.

The answer is that my butt hurts.

-----

Chapter Sixty: Fate Begins to Turn!

But for some reason, in the time that followed, Xi Lan never received any more messages from that unknown number, nor any of the gifts the other party mentioned.

The perfume that had been sprayed once was still in Xi Lan's drawer in the lounge, never to be opened again.

Perhaps they were taught a lesson by jade and were afraid of it.

During that period, Xi Lan was very careful and did not allow her butt to suffer secondary injury.

Of course, because of this excessive caution, Xi Lan was asked by many people if something else had happened.

Since Xi Lan doesn't like to lie, she can only make up a random excuse to get by.

Once her injuries had mostly healed, Xi Lan, unsure how to face Ms. Emerald, quickly threw herself into her work.

The relationship between the two of them was so strange that even Xi Lan found it odd.

They were even more affectionate than before.

This unfamiliar feeling left Xi Lan feeling somewhat... at a loss.

Ok.

Before you're fully prepared, make sure you understand the relationship between the two of them before sticking close to Lady Emerald.

With this in mind, Xi Lan packed her things and even tidied up her suitcase before nodding in satisfaction.

Next, she's going to become a worker devoid of emotion!

When she gets busy, Xi Lan won't have time to think about anything else, especially about Lady Emerald.

After carrying its suitcase and completely distancing itself from the Emerald Ship, the large fox finally wagged its tail.

He clearly seemed to be in a good mood.

"You seemed so reluctant to leave before, why are you so happy about this business trip?"

The female employee approached us at some point, asking questions with some curiosity.

"...How could that be? I'm still very reluctant to part with Ms. Emerald."

Xi Lan gave a dry laugh and awkwardly came up with an excuse to fool the female employee.

"You must be imagining things."

She nudged the female employee on the shoulder, quickly signaling her not to slack off and to get to work.

The employee who had just received a message from Ms. Emerald, who told her to pay close attention to Xi Lan's every move, noticed Xi Lan's unnatural appearance and felt that something might have happened between the two of them.

But it's not something you can easily ask.

Slo could only secretly tell himself to be more careful and keep an eye on things.

With that in mind, the female employee, urged by Xi Lan, eventually went to get busy with her own work.

Jade, who knew that Xi Lan had run away with a suitcase, packed a few clothes, looked at her own wardrobe.

"I wonder if those few clothes the little guy brought are enough for him to wear." She sighed softly, crossing her arms over her chest.

Perhaps I went a little too far with the teasing, and ended up scaring my own fox away.

This is not okay.

Although she didn't really want Xi Lan to leave, Emerald, who knew her personality well, also knew that if she stopped the little one from leaving, things might get even worse.

"Fine, fine, let's just consider it the child's rebellious phase."

Or is it more like a belated rebellious phase?

Jade seemed to recall something amusing and chuckled, showing no sign of worry or concern.

I wonder when this little guy will be able to come back?

If you tease someone too much, this is what happens.

Of course, we also need to be wary of certain star core hunters who abandon their children.

Emerald closed the wardrobe again, glancing at the fox monitoring her work on the tablet. At least this strong woman didn't seem disappointed by her child's running away.

Will I feel a little lonely?

Who knows.

I just hope this disobedient fox can return to my side soon.

However… when this disobedient little fox returns, she might not be so gentle anymore.

Jade smiled gently, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
