Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

I relaxed for a while.

Only when the terminal in Xi Lan's pocket rang did this reluctant embrace finally dissipate.

"I'll do my best, and don't forget to come on this trip with me, okay? Otherwise, liars will turn into puppies."

Estella once again reverted to her previous strong demeanor and went to direct the remaining staff to finish up the work.

Her azure eyes swept over Xi Lan's exposed skin, the marks of which were so obvious they couldn't be more definite, remaining on her neck.

And the collar that Xi Lan wore around her neck had disappeared.

Who left that mark?

Although she has this question now, Estella doesn't have time to pay too much attention to things here right now.

I can only keep these things to myself.

After watching Xi Lan walk to a secluded and deserted place, he took out his terminal from his pocket.

However, he unexpectedly pulled out a business card with lipstick marks on it and dropped it on the ground.

The familiar lipstick mark made Xi Lan's eyelids twitch.

But I need to receive the communication from the terminal first, so I'll put this thing in my pocket for now.

The silver-white fox thought to itself, and then answered the communication request that had finally brought this hard-won message.

"Lady Jade?"

I thought it would be Toppa and the others who would message me.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Ms. Jade.

She quickly adjusted her facial expression, adopting a respectful demeanor, which made Emerald frown slightly.

From her perspective, her little fox was in a terrible state, with marks even appearing on its neck.

However, these are not the things she is concerned about right now.

"When will you return after things are settled at the Black Tower Space Station?"

“It’s been almost a year since I last came back, Xiao Xilan, don’t you miss me?” Emerald softened her tone.

Xi Lan frowned, about to say something, when the noise behind her made her turn around to see what was going on.

"Hey, wait, wait! Don't go over there! What I just told you isn't applicable here!?"

Overwhelmed and somewhat guilty, March 7th grabbed Xing and drew closer, seeing Xing's half-understanding expression as she rushed towards him.

Once again, Xi Lan had a bad feeling.

Meanwhile, Jade on the other side of the terminal was also somewhat curious about why Xi Lan was making such a fuss.

The next second, Emerald heard the source of the noise coming from Xi Lan's side.

Xi Lan did not turn off the communication, allowing her to clearly hear what was happening on the other end.

"Hi honey, can we get to know each other again?"

Xi Lan swore she covered Xing's mouth as quickly as possible.

While covering her mouth, she looked at the projection on the terminal. Seeing the increasingly kind smile on Emerald's face, she smiled ingratiatingly.

"Waaaaaah?"

Xing naturally noticed the ongoing communication conversation and glanced curiously at Emerald's side, seemingly wanting to say something, but someone more directly covered her mouth.

You wretched bastard, shut up! Stop causing me so much trouble, you idiot!

For some reason, Xi Lan felt that Jade Lady's smile was rather frightening.

and so…

Xi Lan still decisively chose to speak up and found a reason:

"I have something to attend to here. I'll call you back later!"

After that, without receiving any reply from Emerald, Xi Lan abruptly ended the call.

"?"

Jade, seemingly unable to comprehend what had happened in just a few minutes, visibly became puzzled.

Xi Lan, who had just hung up the call, was clearly relieved. She then turned her gaze to Hui Mao, who was blinking innocently with his mouth covered.

This guy even stuck out his tongue and licked her palm.

She quickly withdrew her hand, her face contorted with barely suppressed anger as she looked at Xing, who hadn't yet managed to retract her tongue.

They quickly focused their attention on March 7, who was standing to the side, smiling awkwardly.

Xi Lan endured the sticky feeling in her palms, took a deep breath, and calmed her turbulent emotions.

"Little March, what did you say to her?"

Otherwise, how could someone do something so indescribable?

"I... I just asked Sister Xilan about your relationship with her. She said she sees you as her mother..." March 7th, as the culprit in a certain sense, was unusually guilty.

"Xing said she felt a connection with you, a desire to be close to you... and we accidentally mentioned a scene from a picture book we'd seen before... and we said maybe it was love at first sight or something..."

She lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers like a child who had done something wrong, and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Xilan..."

It turns out that Xing's lack of understanding caused this trouble.

Although I'm a little curious about what picture book Little March is looking at, the important thing right now is to change the way that gray fluffy ball thinks.

Otherwise, if they always call her "Mom" or "Wife" when they meet, other people will definitely think there's something strange about their relationship, right?

"It's alright, Little March. It's just that this guy has lost his memory and his usual perception is distorted... Let's correct it little by little."

Xi Lan still tried to comfort March 7: "But you still need to... well, don't talk about these things in front of her anymore."

March 7th and Xi Lan exchanged a glance, then looked in unison at a certain gray-haired creature that seemed to be in a daze.

"...After all, Hoshi really does take things seriously."

Xi Lan sighed softly.

"Wife, wife..."

When Xing saw a silver-white fox focusing its gaze on her, she nuzzled up to it like a clingy dog.

He's even more canine than Yulan herself.

When her name was called out, she felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but pinch her brow.

"First of all, I cannot be both your mother and your wife at the same time."

"And then, I'm not your mother or your wife, I'm just a working person passing by, I have nothing to do with you, understand?"

She shoved Xing away with righteous indignation, then looked away, seemingly unwilling to see Xing's aggrieved expression.

"It's quite lively here. What happened?"

A familiar voice rang out from the other side, causing them all to turn around and look at the fiery red figure.

And Xi Lan could take this opportunity to get rid of this guy who had inexplicably stuck to her.

"Miss Himeko, I have some things to attend to here. I'll leave the situation to you for a while and I'll be right back."

If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?

Without any hesitation, Yulan took Hoshi's hand and placed it in Himeko's palm.

She herself seemed to be fleeing in panic, quickly getting away from this place of trouble.

A hint of grievance flashed in those golden eyes.

Just as she was about to chase after him, Himeko grabbed Hoshi's hand and asked him softly with a smile what had happened on March 7th.

Xi Lan, however, found a corner, carefully swallowed, and then continued her call to Emerald.

It's a bit of a shame that, for some reason, Ms. Emerald didn't answer Xi Lan's communication request this time.

"Ms. Emerald wouldn't refuse my calls just because of that joke, would she?" she murmured.

For some reason, Xi Lan felt a rare sense of panic.

Little did they know that Emerald was currently busy investigating the origin of the gray-haired creature that had appeared at the Black Tower space station.

Xi Lan could only regretfully give up the idea of ​​explaining to Ms. Emerald for the time being.

Perhaps the other person is busy?

With this in mind, the very considerate and sensible Xi Lan could only put down the terminal in her hand.

But right now, I don't want to face Xing's face, the one that knows nothing...

Especially when the other person, with that face that once took care of him, calls Xi Lan "Mom" or "Wife," he feels, he feels, a subtle sense of immorality.

This is how this word should be used, right?

Xi Lan had lost count of how many times she had sighed today; she just felt that what had happened today was just... making her feel mentally exhausted.

"Kafka, Star..."

Moreover, he still had a business card left behind by that guy in his pocket.

...The mysterious numbers on it, along with the lipstick mark left on it, made everything seem somewhat ambiguous.

Xi Lan subconsciously touched her shoulder, and the slight stinging sensation brought her back to her senses.

She will never forget the way that person bit her on the shoulder and ran away.

...No matter what, she will definitely get her revenge.
