Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

“I didn’t ask for any special privileges, but the Shaniat family invested over a hundred million in this airport. As the head of the Shaniat family, they should be serving us well. They’re just a bunch of useless people who take money but do nothing.” Xilin ordered Shen Liang with great dissatisfaction, “You stand in front of me.”

Shen Liang stood there, not understanding what was going on.

Sirin kicked him in the stomach from the shopping cart, finally satisfied. "Human! You're not allowed to talk back in public. I'm your older sister, and more importantly, the head of the family. Family members are not allowed to talk back to the head of the family!"

Shen Liang resisted the urge to grab her ankle and lift her upside down out of the shopping cart. He had to consider the possibility that Xilin was taller than him and he might not be able to lift her out, which would be awkward. He also had to consider the possibility that even if he lifted her upside down, Xilin might punch him in the lower body.

If the little queen feels her dignity has been offended, she is capable of doing anything; she will never care about what others think.

"So where is the person who's supposed to pick us up? We have to go find them? When did headquarters become so inefficient? They're just wasting their time and doing nothing...nothing...no law!" Xilin felt she wasn't being taken seriously and was furious.

“It’s about having nothing to do, isn’t it?” Rita could only smile and remind her after hearing her struggle to recall the Chinese idiom. Then she stepped forward, suppressing her urge to ask why the shopping cart had come from an airplane, before speaking, “Miss Sirin, Mr. Pandora, Rita Rossweisse has been waiting for you for a long time.”

"Hello, both of you, this is Raiden Mei." Miss Mei followed suit with her own introduction, but her eyes had been fixed on Shen Liang until now. Only then did she notice Sirin's face sitting in the stroller, and she was taken aback. "Kiana?"

Sirin gave her a cold glance, and Raiden Mei was instantly struck by her blazing, molten gold-like eyes, a tremendous psychological pressure surging through her. Without a word, she immediately understood that this girl who looked exactly like Kiana was definitely not the one she knew; she looked like Kiana's older sister.

She's much fiercer than Kiana!

Celine learned the entire idiom from Rita, and she didn't care whether she had lost face or not. Because a genius like herself wouldn't have any problems; if she did, someone would help her solve them, like Rita's completion. In other words, it was precisely because she was Celine that Rita helped fill in the gaps, so reciting the idiom was ultimately Celine's own ability.

Shen Liang had already reunited with Rita and Mei after a long separation. He knew who would be picking him up at the airport from the start and had been looking forward to it for a long time on the plane. When he finally saw their familiar faces, Shen Liang's mood calmed down.

One is a stunning beauty in a rose-patterned maid outfit, her eyes captivating. The other is a yakuza heiress who lived with them for a year and still wears the familiar St. Freya JK uniform. The long-awaited reunion wasn't just joyful; it was also heartwarming.

"Long time no see, Senior Sister, Rita," Shen Liang said with a smile.

He spoke so naturally that he himself didn't realize anything was wrong. On the contrary, Raiden Mei's expression immediately froze slightly.

They call me "senior sister," and she... they call her by her first name.

“Long time no see, darling…” Rita replied with a light laugh.

Everyone, including Shen Liang, was stunned. Raiden Mei stared at Rita in disbelief, while the white-haired little queen in the shopping cart stared at the equally stunned Shen Liang in disbelief.

“Pandora!” Sirin blurted out involuntarily, “I’m going to tell Kiana! You never told me about you and Li…”

“…Mr. Shen.” Rita drew out the last part of her sentence, then added playfully.

Little Sirin's roar abruptly stopped. Raiden Mei glanced at Rita again, her face expressionless as she watched Rita's barely suppressed smile, cursing inwardly.

Sure enough, this cunning maid had already figured something out. She was deliberately talking like that to create some entertainment! But who would play games like that? If I hadn't held back and not questioned her immediately, I would have exposed my hidden feelings!

No, what could I possibly reveal? I'm just here to pick someone up!

“Watch your words next time, Rita,” Sirin stared coldly at the maid. “If you deliberately mislead me with your words again, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

"I'm sorry, but the two from the Shaniat family are just too adorable, and I couldn't resist teasing them a little," Rita apologized humbly. "Please forgive Rita's rudeness. For the next two weeks, Rita will be in charge of their food and lodging at headquarters. Now, please follow Rita to welcome them."

Raiden Mei squinted, momentarily hesitant.

Because the welcoming party was originally arranged by her, and the first round of receptions was to be held at Chunshan Bar. But Rita casually took on the task of "food and lodging" directly. So what was she supposed to do? She was also a staff member responsible for receiving Shen Liang and Xilin.

She originally intended for each person to be responsible for one another, with her, as a Valkyrie who had a close personal relationship with Shen Liang, focusing solely on Shen Liang. Since the key client was Sirin and the main host was Rita, the two of them could work together to study international affairs. Mei, not being part of the core group, could spend the next two weeks with her junior brother, getting to know each other better by going shopping, drinking, watching movies, and eating out.

But now it seems Rita isn't planning to split the team up.

"But where are we going? And how exactly do we get there?" Shen Liang looked around and found that there were no cars, only two motorcycles.

And now there are four of them.

"The Tsubakiyama Bar is located in Soho, a famous nightlife city, so motor vehicles are not allowed to drive there late at night." Raiden Mei smiled faintly. "Of course, motorcycles are not allowed either, but usually the local police turn a blind eye to yakuza."

“Yes, but who would you like to bring along, Miss Mei?” Rita turned to look at Raiden Mei with a charming smile. “If you really want Mr. Shen to sit behind you, Rita won’t take away his love.”

Raiden Mei clenched her teeth angrily.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Looking down at her feet, her face flushed, shy and timid, she sobbed...

It's always like this!

Raiden Mei couldn't understand what the maid had been instructed by headquarters to do, as she was always going against her in sensitive situations!

Aren't you here to receive Xilin? Take Xilin with you properly, why are you eyeing my junior brother?

Don't you know we, your fellow students, have a lot to say after being apart for so long? Don't you have any sense? You've been acting so rudely from the beginning, and you're still so smug about it?

Raiden Mei is 100% certain that Rita is deliberately targeting her.

“Miss Rita is exaggerating. I don’t understand anything about stealing someone else’s love. If Miss Rita is interested in my junior brother, then Miss Rita (Crab) will serve you along the way.” Raiden Mei said coldly, “I don’t care.”

Rita looked her up and down with a smile for a long time, then whispered, "You really don't care?"

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Their conversation didn't avoid Shen Liang and Xilin. Shen Liang wasn't stupid; he could vaguely sense that Rita's words had a hidden meaning.

However, he didn't dare to interrupt, because he did have something he couldn't say to Rita, and he understood that Rita had some ulterior motives.

“But no.” Celine jumped down from the stroller, staring intently at Rita. Her golden eyes traveled from Rita’s slender, shapely figure, finally settling on Rita’s long, shapely legs encased in black stockings beneath her maid outfit. The perfect proportions of those legs were even better than her own. After all, Celine was merely the most beautiful young lady in the world, while Rita was never the most beautiful, but the most alluring. Every aspect of her perfectly matched not the aesthetic standards of young girls, but those of men; she was simply a stunning beauty who could make boys lose control.

She even went so far as to wear a maid outfit! Despite being a revered S-rank Valkyrie, she dressed up as a pitiful maid to create a stark contrast! She's practically a vixen trying to seduce men!

Sirin was furious because there were no men at the Destiny Headquarters. She felt that Rita's alluring appearance was a deliberate design for her younger brother, Pandora. The white-haired little queen, of course, never considered the fact that Rita had been a maid for years. Even if Rita had been a maid since she was a child more than ten years ago, she would still think that Rita was warming up for the birth of Pandora.

Xilin believed that her younger brother was unlikely to resist the beauty of someone like Rita, so she strictly forbade Rita from trying to ride in the same car as Shen Liang.

"Humans, you should know that I have a certain degree of mysophobia. I can only be around my own family. I feel disgusted when I'm around outsiders. So you can all ride in one car, and Pandora and I will ride in another," Sirin announced arrogantly. "I don't want to be pressed against your bodies and smell your sweat. Well, at most, I can only tolerate the smell of my stupid mother, my stupid sister, and this stupid human."

Shen Liang covered her face.

Miss Mei and Miss Rita were both speechless, helplessly watching the arrogant white-haired man. But since it was a distinguished guest who had spoken, the two could only get into one of the motorcycles and leave. Shen Liang climbed onto another motorcycle, and Sirin immediately leaped up, hung the small cart on the back of the motorcycle, and then casually sat in the high-rising seat in front of Shen Liang.

"Sit in the back," Shen Liang reminded him. "The proper seats are in the back; the place you're sitting in now is the fuel tank."

The reason someone could sit in front of him when racing in Teyvat was because the fuel tank of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is almost level with the seat, so if Xiaogong leaned forward slightly while in his arms, Shen Liang could see the road ahead. But this was a Kawasaki motorcycle, and the fuel tank of Japanese motorcycles is much higher than the seat. Xilin wasn't "leaning against him" at all; she was completely blind to everything.

"Shut up, human! I am your queen, of course I am in front of you and taller than you!"

"Sister, I can't see where I'm going!"

"I do not care!"

"Sister Xilin, if you lived in the late Qing Dynasty, you would be Empress Dowager Cixi, do you know that?"

"But I didn't make you drive on your knees. I'm much more merciful than Empress Dowager Cixi!"

Despite the bickering, Sirin still climbed onto his back. Raiden Mei, with Rita leading the way, sped along the highway outside the airport through the night.

"If I had known, I would have just agreed, wouldn't I?"

On the motorcycle in front, Rita gently wrapped her arms around the girl's slender but firm waist and whispered in her ear with a smile, "Now no one is doing well, it's a lose-lose situation."

"You lost, it has nothing to do with me," Raiden Mei said calmly. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."

"Does Miss Mei really have absolutely no interest in Mr. Shen?"

"Although my junior brother is young, he is Kiana's man after all. Miss Rita must know that Kiana is my best friend, as close as a sister, right?"

“Miss Mei is such an outstanding girl, in every way she’s no less capable than the second young lady of the Shaniat family,” Rita whispered. “Why are you still concerned about these things?”

Don't treat me like someone like you!

"Does Miss Mei know what kind of person Rita is?" Rita smiled slightly. "Does Miss Mei know anything about Rita? Does she know about Rita's relationship with Mr. Shen? You saw what Rita did and assumed that Rita was doing something on behalf of destiny, so you are wary of Rita. But can't Rita do something for herself?"

Raiden Mei was taken aback. She really didn't know Rita. The reason she was wary of Rita was not because she really thought of Rita as Shen Liang.

Because they are clearly from two different worlds. Even if Aisha has some interaction with him, what kind of sparks could there be between a boy who has just entered the extraordinary realm and a noble S-class Valkyrie?

So she simply couldn't stand Rita's affected manner.

but if……

Isn't she acting in accordance with the command of fate?

Raiden Mei saw the maid's calm expression in the rearview mirror and was even more surprised. Besides surprise, a strange emotion also arose in her heart.

"What do you want to do?"

“Does the Shaniat family think that just because the child belongs to them, they can take over his love and marriage as well? The Shaniat family can’t be so domineering. He’s a little wolfhound, not a domestic dog.” Rita hugged Mei, took a deep sniff of the shampoo scent in the yakuza girl’s hair, and said in a deep voice, “Once you’re here, it’s no longer the Shaniat family’s territory.”

Raiden Mei really wanted to warn her that he was Kiana's boyfriend, and if she dared to have any ideas, she would act on behalf of heaven! But she hesitated when she got to the words, not because she couldn't possibly be a match for an S-rank Valkyrie, but because... there were some inexplicable reasons.

"Do you want to stop Rita?" the maid asked instead.

Raiden Mei twisted the accelerator, clearing her mind, and said coldly, "I said, this has nothing to do with me!"

“Look, you’ve wavered. You’re not stopping me anymore. Why? Because only here is he not Pandora’s boy of the Shaniat family, but everyone’s little wolfhound. You know better than anyone that the only time you can do something is right now.” Rita leaned close to her back, her voice alluring, like a witch bewitching a mermaid in a fairy tale, “Miss Mei, if you don’t take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences.”

Mei's face turned ashen.

In another car, Xilin put down her phone, stood up from her seat, leaned over Shen Liang's back, hugged his neck, and enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing straight towards her.

This is something Xilin has always loved doing. Although she can't drive or ride a bike, she's always enjoyed the thrill of a drive, so she's had her own sports car and airplane since she was little. Now that Shen Liang is her driver, and since he's her own younger brother, she can be carefree about her image, which makes Xilin even happier.

"I'm riding my bike, go play somewhere else." Shen Liang felt helplessly as the girl hugged his neck from behind and swayed back and forth, but even though Xilin was swaying back and forth, his body remained still and he rode steadily.

This was only because of Xilin. Looking at her face, which was exactly the same as Kiana's, Shen Liang couldn't bring himself to scold her. If it were anyone else, he would have slapped her down long ago.

However, it's not entirely without its downsides.

Sirin and Kiana even had similarly good figures; the plump, soft breasts of the young girl rubbed against his back, much like Kiana's. Sirin really didn't have any sense of propriety between men and women, or rather, she didn't have any sense of propriety between men and women with her own family... There was nothing she could do about it; most of the Shaniat family members were like that. They had very little contact with boys, and Shen Liang was "family," so they simply didn't have that kind of sense of caution.

Of course, it's more likely that whether it's Kiana, Sirin, or anyone else, they never treated him like a boy when they saw his face.

Celine was quite unhappy with her servant's scolding, but she still sat down after enjoying the breeze for a while. She was still somewhat smug, after all, what girls loved most was seeing boys helplessly yet forced to pamper them.
