Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

"I don't know where it went... I'm sorry, Ms. Emerald, I couldn't find it..."

With its fox ears drooping, its captivating eyes were only slightly lowered, giving it a pitiful and aggrieved look.

"The video on the terminal showed that I had already lost consciousness at that point..."

Taking this opportunity, Xi Lan quickly explained the situation regarding the disappearance of the gift from Emerald, fearing that the other party would be angry.

"Yes, I can guess."

After all, the video had already been sent to her, so she must be really unhappy about the collar that showed signs of her possession.

Star Core Hunter Kafka.

But it's okay, it doesn't matter.

As Emerald thought this, seeing that Xi Lan seemed somewhat afraid of her, she could only sigh softly in her heart.

"Are you still so afraid of me?"

No...

As if to prove its words, the fluffy tail quietly wrapped around the emerald again.

"Alright, alright, it's a rare opportunity to meet, don't be so nervous."

She offered a few words of comfort to the little fox sitting on her lap: "For the time being... you can take a good vacation here with me, okay?"

Her hand stroked the back of Xi Lan's neck, and with a little force, she made her lean down and completely rest against her body.

Being able to clearly smell the fragrance on her body, the sour and twisted jealousy in his heart was slightly suppressed.

"I miss you so much, my dear child."

The warm breath brushed against her ear, instantly making Xi Lan's ears turn red: "Little Xi Lan, don't you even have a moment to think of me?"

Xi Lan trembled, leaning her entire body against her shoulder:

“I miss you so much...Ms. Emerald.”

This answer, however, made Jade exceptionally satisfied.

The hand holding Xi Lan around the waist tightened.

"I'm satisfied with this answer." She chuckled a few times. "I'll pretend I didn't see the provocations your guardian gave me before."

"At the same time... you also need to manage your relationship with her well, my dear child."

Jade deliberately emphasized the word "my".

Her warm lips brushed against Xi Lan's cheek, giving her a kiss, seemingly as a reward for the little fox.

Or perhaps... a small warning?

Xi Lan wasn't sure, but she was secretly glad that she hadn't chosen to add the number left on the card.

He also did not reveal that he had this card to Lady Emerald.

It's great that we weren't discovered.

Xi Lan thought to herself.

After ending her conversation with Emerald, Yulan returned to her and Emerald's room, which she hadn't been back to in a long time, and looked at the scene inside, which was almost unchanged.

Xi Lan, whose heart had been somewhat agitated, found some solace when the terminal in her pocket rang again.

Xi Lan initially thought it was Xing who had sent her a message, but upon seeing the page, she found that there were a few more lines of dialogue on Jade Lady's page.

[aaa Overtime pay is provided: There seems to be something I forgot to ask you.]

[aaa Overtime will be paid: I'm quite curious to see how you'll explain that little rascal who used to call you "wife."]

[aaa Overtime pay is available: Be good tonight, and wait for me in the room, okay?]

------------

Chapter 71 This time it's my fault.

I thought Ms. Emerald had deliberately avoided discussing this matter...

I never expected that love would be waiting for me here.

With mixed feelings, Xi Lan placed the terminal on the bedside table. Looking at the room she hadn't returned to in a long time, it would be a lie to say she didn't miss it.

Star, I hope that next time we meet, you can change these awkward ways of addressing me.

It's best not to say anything that might upset someone.

Xi Lan waited silently.

But when I think about how he looks every time we talk on the terminal, he still keeps using words like "wife"...

Haha.

Suddenly, I realized that everything I had been thinking about was unnecessary.

This incredibly stubborn guy, once he decides to do something, he won't look back...

She was still a virgin, how did she become his wife/mother?

Rather, would anyone actually connect these two relationships? Someone who didn't know better might think it was some kind of daughter-in-law/mother-in-law conflict...

She wasn't actually very interested in this kind of relationship, which had a strong sense of immorality.

What I liked before was simply the time I spent with Ms. Jade.

...But now, looking back on those years, that kiss that was demanded has already set off a frantic moral alarm in Xi Lan's heart.

And then there's this encounter with Kaffa...

Xi Lan wasn't stupid; she knew that what this Star Core Hunter had done to her went beyond the bond between parents.

"This is really a headache."

Xi Lan slowly closed her eyes, recalling the events that had occurred during this period, which made her truly feel the horror of fate.

They were entangled together like this... yet they couldn't separate.

Can't escape.

Xi Lan felt that in front of Lady Emerald, she was already a fox that had been tamed by her.

She had long ago placed the rope symbolizing sovereignty in Emerald's hands.

If Lady Emerald wants to... he can do whatever he wants to her.

Most importantly, Xi Lan wouldn't refuse her.

But in Jade Lady's company, from childhood to adulthood, Xi Lan was only punished a few times for doing something wrong.

The remaining time was certainly good for her.

So you shouldn't contact Kafka... you shouldn't.

Without much hesitation, Xi Lan tore the business card in her pocket to shreds and threw it into the trash can.

Even after doing all that, Xi Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. All those troublesome things that had been bothering her were finally resolved.

The rest is up to us to face other things.

With this in mind, Xi Lan still tried her best to conceal her identity as a Star Core Hunter from the other side of the star.

Even though she's currently on the Star Train side.

However, it's best to keep this identity hidden as much as possible.

The fatigue from traveling these past few days was slowly creeping up, causing Xi Lan to unconsciously yawn.

It was only later that I realized I hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

There are too many things to worry about.

Star, Kafka... the rest of the Star Core Hunters...

This will definitely not be their first meeting, nor will it be their last.

Xi Lan, covered with a blanket filled with the scent of irises, hugged her fox tail like an insecure child, but ultimately couldn't resist the urge to sleep.

She slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jade, who had observed the entire process on the monitor, smiled and narrowed her eyes.

It seems my little fox is hiding something from me.

However... it seems that the problem has been almost resolved.

Looking at the scene, Xilan was curled up, falling asleep in a very insecure position.

Her fingertips, which were tapping the table, only paused for a moment.

Perhaps it's time to consider letting the little one relax a bit.

We shouldn't have pushed them so hard.

Little Yelena is also coming to see her... so why not take this opportunity to let her calm down?

As for the person who jumped in her face, Emerald was not actually prepared to let her off the hook either.

Abandoning her child for so many years, and now she thinks she can just go back whenever she wants?

Jade is not such a generous person.

Moreover, it was the little fox she adored.

How could it be so easily taken away by a guy who abandoned his child after so many years, who only dared to spy on him but never dared to come over?

Just thinking about it makes Jade feel a little angry.

"call.."
