Instead, I felt my body sway and my center of gravity shift.

Her delicate, fair face was tense, and for a moment she didn't dare to open her eyes.

Jing Yuan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly as he gazed at Fu Xuan, who was being held in Princess Yu Chen's arms not far away, and felt a secret joy in his heart.

Ha, what diviner, what swordsman?

He still managed to outmaneuver us.

Everything, everything, has been for this moment!

A premeditated personnel reshuffle, a change in salary disbursement, and deliberately inflated salaries…

All these seemingly coincidental events were actually part of Jing Yuan's scheme!

Hahahaha!

The smile on his lips slowly faded, and his eyes became peaceful and gentle.

Yu Chen... has lived too long and is too lonely.

Although they call each other brothers, the sense of distance between them in their daily interactions has never disappeared over the years.

Having witnessed countless partings and deaths, yet never experiencing profound emotions, he has perhaps become numb.

Why do people drink all day long, getting themselves completely drunk?

The initial plan was successful, but what happens next depends on them.

Hopefully... this fortune teller can touch that thing covered by a red skin, inside which is a stone heart.

...

Yu Chen held the warm, soft girl in his arms, looked down, and froze in shock.

Her full, radiant face, fair and delicate skin with a rosy glow, exquisitely small nose like a precious gem, a third eye as pink as a jewel between her brows, and two pink and tender lips combined to create this almost perfect face.

I already thought she was pretty, but now that I've gotten closer and taken a closer look, I realize she's just that beautiful.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like two butterfly wings fluttering. Her slender eyelids twitched, and her beaded eyelids slowly opened, revealing bright yellow, crystal-clear eyes as beautiful as amber.

The translucent colors, moist and full of luster, made that already stunningly beautiful face appear even more radiant when those eyes opened.

It's as if it has given a soul to a masterpiece, leaving people amazed.

Even Yu Chen, who had seen countless beauties, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned when he met those pure, amber eyes that seemed to hold everything.

Beneath that stunningly beautiful face lies a delicate, girlish figure, warm and soft enough to captivate the heart.

And the faint fragrance emanating from her seemed to bewitch his soul; Yu Chen even felt a little dizzy despite his indestructible body.

It smells so good, so wonderful...

Fu Xuan blinked, and the blush on her delicate, pink face deepened.

Those broad shoulders, solid chest, warm embrace, and that strong, powerful masculine aura all wildly stimulated Fu Xuan's nerves.

Having grown up so much, apart from her father when she was young, this was the first time a man had ever hugged her so intimately.

Surprisingly, there wasn't much anger; the resentment from just moments before seemed to be temporarily overshadowed by a strong sense of shame.

Fu Xuan bit her lower lip, which seemed to be oozing water, with her pearly white teeth. Her incredibly soft voice rang out, losing its previous sharpness and becoming as melodious and clear as a wind chime.

"Put me... down..."

The sound reached Yu Chen's ears, who was gazing intently at her face. He shuddered and abruptly snapped out of his reverie.

He just...

what happened?

My once calm and peaceful state of mind was now stirred by waves that I hadn't felt in a long time.

Yu Chen feigned composure, glancing almost imperceptibly at Fu Xuan before slowly lowering her down.

The moment they landed, Fu Xuan quickly escaped his embrace, creating a great distance between them, and hid behind Xing Xuan.

She pressed one hand to her chest, feeling her heart pounding wildly inside, her face flushed, her eyes glaring with shame and anger at the stubble-faced man standing there.

This guy actually dared to hug her! And he hugged her so tightly and so intimately!

Although it was to prevent herself from falling, it was he who tripped her, which made her wonder about his motives!

And just now…

I was just looking at myself, so engrossed...

Fu Xuan just thought about the scene from just now, and the temperature on his face started to rise rapidly again.

She glared at Yu Chen again.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Yu Chen didn't argue with her anymore, but awkwardly turned his head away.

He himself was a little confused as to why he had suddenly acted as if he had gone mad, staring at the talismanic divination master like a madman.

His gaze remained unmoved, and he didn't blink.

If you say there wasn't something there, let alone a ghost, even he himself almost doesn't believe it.

"Xingxuan, find the wine in Jingyuan's room, then we'll leave!"

Fu Xuan blushed and turned his back.

Jing Yuan waved to Yan Qing, feigning helplessness and sadness.

“Go and get those two jars of wine for Miss Xingxuan… Since Fu Taibu is so sincere in helping Dihengsi, it’s fine to leave them to her to keep.”

Yu Chen snorted softly, but still feeling awkward, he didn't have much of a desire to resist.

Chapter 8 Fu Xuan's Summons

Fu Xuan didn't look at them. Of course, she knew about the operations within the Earth Balance Bureau. If they were really allowed to handle it, it would probably be back in Jing Yuan's hands the next moment.

Then it fell into the hands of that bastard!

She could tolerate anything, but right now, she really couldn't stand the fact that this guy was happy!

She gritted her teeth, looking indignant.

Left with no other choice, Yu Chen had to let Yan Qing, who was deliberately keeping a straight face, and Xing Xuan, who was smiling, carry the items out of the house.

Upon seeing this, Fu Xuan didn't even say hello, but turned around and quickly walked outside.

Yanqing nodded to Jingyuan, picked up a jar of wine, and followed her out. Xingxuan, on the other hand, followed behind him with a smile, carrying another jar with some difficulty.

"Give me!"

Suddenly, a boy's voice came from outside the door.

Xingxuan turned to look at him and said, "Hey~ but one is already quite heavy, I'll carry it myself."

Yanqing frowned, ignoring her words, and reached out to take the wine jar from her arms and stack it in front of her.

It's blocking the view a bit...

However, he remained defiant.

"Perfect timing for some exercise!"

"Alas... I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine..."

Yu Chen looked up at the flowers and suddenly noticed that a section of the branch had been broken off at some point.

Where did it go?

Who was it given to next?

"Brothers, let's have a drink together."

Jing Yuan chuckled and hooked his arm around his shoulder as they walked into the house.

"I had a jar saved up, and I'm going to use it today!"

Yu Chen's lips curled into a smile, and his gloomy expression vanished.

Just waiting for your words!

...

"How about it?"

Jing Yuan popped a peanut into his mouth and asked, seemingly casually.

"How about what?"

Yu Chen picked up the bowl and glanced at him, feeling a little confused.

Jing Yuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Fu Xuan, Fu Taibu!"

Gudong~

"Ah~ It still smells so good!"

Yu Chen put down the bowl with satisfaction and glanced at his inexplicably meaningful gaze.

"Her? She's pretty, but her temper is terrible! What's wrong with giving me a little more salary?"
