At this moment, Polaris Lorna showed no hesitation or fear. Even when confessing her feelings, she still proudly and domineeringly raised her lustrous chin, her pale green eyes gazing at Xinian with a burning light.

In her eyes, bright as the stars, there was only one person.

“Boss, you…” hope Nian opened his mouth.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either, when I fell in love with you."

Lorna looked directly at him and continued, "Maybe it was three years ago, when you saved me and treated me like family. Maybe it's three years later, when I see you again."

"Perhaps it was our first meeting, or perhaps it was our last kiss."

In short, I'm pretty sure I like you!

Lorna's beautiful eyes sparkled, her tone was firm, and her gaze and expression remained unwavering.

“I used to think that I could face anything, even life and death, or the end of the world. But after I met you, I found myself becoming weaker and more helpless, wanting to rely on someone, and these are beautiful states.”

She paused, her expression filled with anticipation and hope:

"If a person can find someone with whom they have no blood relation to form a family, then you are the only person in my life I have ever wanted to be family with."

"Without you by my side, my life would lose all its joy!"

Lorna's sincere and composed words landed powerfully in the main hall.

Ahead, Xinian, sitting on a single sofa, felt her heart pounding faster and faster.

No one can resist being confessed to like that by a woman, especially since that woman is Lorna, the leader of Polaris!

Hanging majestically in the night sky, the North Star shines with a solitary, cool starlight—a truly outstanding and dazzling star!

Xinian realized that he had fallen in love with the independent and strong-willed Lorna without even realizing it.

……

Outside the main hall on the second floor of the hotel.

From the hotel lobby manager to the cleaning staff, twenty or thirty of Lorna's former gangster henchmen were all pressed against the door, trying to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.

"It seems like the boss is really confessing his feelings!"

"Charge, boss!"

"If that kid doesn't agree, we'll go in and chop him up!"

"You dare? Besides, can you even beat him?"

"Uh, yeah..."

Regardless of gender, they were all Lorna's followers, and a large portion of them had once harbored feelings of affection for her.

But later, they clearly realized—

I am not good enough for Lorna.

No one on their team is worthy of it.

Even though that little girl had been making a living by scavenging garbage since she was a few years old and spent years in the filthy slums, it still couldn't hide her own touching radiance!

……

Tonight, under the reflected lights on the glass.

Wearing a gorgeous white dress, Lorna's bright eyes and rosy lips, along with her snow-white skin as smooth as jade against her dark green hair, made her radiant.

"I like you, and it's all about you!"

Lorna looked directly at Xinian and said softly, "But I know that there are already some people in your heart."

"I won't let you let them go. But I will fight for a place in your heart!"

"I want to hold an even greater place in your heart, more than anyone else!"

"Because I am the North Star!"

The North Star will never admit defeat!

As Lorna spoke, she ran her index finger down Xinian's face and gently pinched his chin with one hand.

She lowered her head, her dark green hair falling loosely, and leaned forward, exhaling a soft, fragrant breath.

……

the next morning.

The cool, clear morning light seeped in through the cracks in the window, brightening the room.

Xinian woke up from the black bed that resembled the night sky. He sat up, yawned lightly, rubbed his dark green hair, and subconsciously wanted to call out to the maid, "Wanda, why didn't you wake me up... huh?!"

He quickly realized that he was not at home at the moment.

The hotel room was luxurious and spacious.

hope Nian slowly turned his head and saw a slender arm peeking out from under the covers beside him.

Against the dark background of the bed, that patch of snow-white stood out dazzlingly. In the morning light, it became even more lustrous, with a few strands of dark green, curly hair peeking out from under the covers.

what.

hope Nian slapped his forehead, vaguely recalling what had happened last night.

Wanda isn't here, but Wanda's...

hope Nian felt inexplicably guilty, though he didn't know where the guilt came from.

Knowing that the other party wouldn't wake up anytime soon, and considering that he was previously the boss's henchman, now he's like this...

Xinian hadn't fully gotten used to this yet, so he covered the other person with the blanket and quietly pulled it off himself to get up.

Barefoot on the ground.

She stepped directly on the gorgeous long dress made of fine fabric, and it was torn.

hope Nian's lips twitched slightly.

hope Nian dared to raise his hands and swear that he didn't do it; he was never this violent.

Found the slippers.

With a gentle wave of his hand, hope Nian sent the magic cloak hanging on the clothes rack flying forward, draping it over his shoulders and transforming it into a trench coat uniform.

hope Nian tiptoed out of the suite, careful not to wake the other person, and closed the door behind him.

The moment the door quietly closed.

The blanket on the bed trembled slightly.

Lorna rolled over in the blanket, rubbed her messy dark green hair, opened her beautiful eyes, and muttered, "Coward."

"A junior is always a junior; he can never climb to the top..."

As Lorna hummed and spoke, a captivating blush crept onto her beautiful face.

……

"That's really true."

hope Nian walked out of the hotel suite on the second floor, looking guilty and as if he was running away, giving him the illusion that he had been raped.

"Good morning, Boss!"

In the hotel corridor, upon seeing Xinian walk by, the hotel staff on duty all nodded and bowed respectfully in greeting.

This time, they truly regarded Xinian as their boss or leader.

"Good morning," Xinian nodded in reply.

"Boss, breakfast is ready for you. You can add eggs if you like," a female hotel employee said warmly.

"No need, I'll eat at home." hope Nian's eye twitched. Why did it feel like everyone in the hotel knew?

Spider-Senses noticed that some female employees couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh after he left, their eyes fixed on his feet.

hope Nian looked down and realized that she was still wearing the slippers from the hotel suite.

Hotel slippers with a uniform trench coat...

hope Nian gave himself a perfect score for embarrassing himself.

If I had known, I would have just used the spatial necklace to go back.

hope Nian sighed inwardly.

He didn't teleport back directly because he was afraid that the maid at home would notice something amiss, which was probably the biggest source of his guilt.

Chapter 377, The Fifth Permanent Ability!

Wearing slippers, Xinian emerged from her suite on the second floor of the hotel, still feeling a little guilty, when she was quickly stopped by a white man in a suit.

Xi Nian looked up and saw that the other person was about twenty years old, tall, handsome, and had green hair styled in a slicked-back style common among elites.

at this time.

The white man stopped in the corridor for no apparent reason, glanced at the closed suite door at the end of the corridor, and then stared at Xinian with complicated eyes.

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "I didn't expect it. In the end, you succeeded..."

"Who are you?" hope Nian asked.

"Uh." The green-haired man, as if his foot had been stepped on, pointed at his flushed face and gritted his teeth, shouting, "You've even forgotten who I am?!"

"Good morning, Manager!"

In the hotel corridor, a hotel staff member bowed and greeted the green-haired man.

"Get out of here!" The green-haired man glared back at the employee, his eyes full of resentment.

“I remember now,” hope Nian said suddenly, “You are Ai… Ai what.”

"Edek!"

The green-haired man added angrily, "I thought the other person would at least remember my name, since I'm at least half a rival in love, right?"

Clearly, he was overthinking it!

"Yes, his name is Edek."
