Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

"Let me hear your asking price first."

"With you here, that's enough." Li Xingzhou smiled and pulled Jiang Yingluo off the Ferris wheel. "Aunt Luo, this isn't too expensive, is it?"

“Nobody is smarter than you.” Jiang Yingluo put her arm around Li Xingzhou’s arm. “If the price isn’t high, then there’s no lower price to be found.”

"Aunt Luo, you don't agree?"

"Still calling me Aunt Luo?" Jiang Yingluo rolled her eyes at him with a charming expression, then quickly added as if remembering something, "And don't call me Mom!"

A smile flashed in Li Xingzhou's eyes: "Then Sister Tang will have to call me Dad from now on?"

Jiang Yingluo paused for a moment. The logic was sound, but something about it seemed off.

"This has nothing to do with her!" Jiang Yingluo stopped and stared intently at Li Xingzhou in the fading glow of the fireworks. "Are you avoiding the topic of our relationship?"

"No."

Li Xingzhou answered decisively. Of course, he wasn't afraid to establish a relationship with Jiang Yingluo. Not to mention that Hill III and Emilia wouldn't say anything, he was also quite curious about the secret between Olivia and Jiang Yingluo.

"Then..." Jiang Yingluo looked into his eyes, feeling her heart beat faster, and asked softly with anticipation in her voice, "Then I'm yours now..."

“Of course it’s my daughter…” Li Xingzhou turned his head to look at the person diagonally opposite him.

Jiang Yingluo was furious. What was this all about?

Don't you dare look me in the eye?!

You were the one who never had any concerns, so what does this mean now?

Jiang Yingluo clenched her fists tighter, just as she was about to speak—

"President Jiang."

A familiar voice suddenly entered her ears, and Jiang Yingluo's body stiffened. She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction Li Xingzhou was looking.

Olivia Yongye stood smiling beside the vending machine, her red dress particularly eye-catching.

"Long time no see." Olivia smiled and strode forward, but the crisp sound of her high heels on the ground sounded like a death knell to Jiang Yingluo at that moment.

"Little brother~" Olivia looked at Li Xingzhou again and gave him a very bold hug: "Long time no see, I've missed you so much~"

Jiang Yingluo's face paled, and just as she was about to reprimand Olivia, she met her playful gaze and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She didn't know why she was panicking.

Even though she had already distanced herself from Olivia regarding Li Xingzhou, she still couldn't help feeling anxious.

He was afraid Olivia would say something she shouldn't, afraid Li Xingzhou would find out he had known him for a long time...

These things could have been explained to Li Xingzhou, so why be afraid?

Because...didn't I explain it to him earlier?

Jiang Yingluo lowered her eyelids slightly, and heard Olivia exclaim "Eh!" She subconsciously looked up and saw Li Xingzhou in Olivia's arms gradually disappear like an illusion.

The next second, she felt a large hand on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Li Xingzhou standing to her right, pulling her into his arms.

“Olivia.” Li Xingzhou looked calmly at the vampire who bore a striking resemblance to Emilia: “You’re here to see me?”

Olivia lowered her hands, looking with interest at Li Xingzhou's left hand resting on Jiang Yingluo's shoulder: "Little brother, I called you President Jiang first, I didn't expect you to be with President Jiang, you two..."

What kind of relationship is this?

Jiang Yingluo's body tensed up involuntarily. She was looking forward to Li Xingzhou's admission, but at this moment she was also a little afraid of Olivia's confession after he admitted it.

Li Xingzhou glanced at Jiang Yingluo without showing any emotion. Was she that nervous?

What exactly is it that Olivia has in her hands that makes her so afraid?

After a moment's thought, Li Xingzhou smiled slightly: "In your opinion, what is our relationship?"

“As I see it…” Olivia glanced at Li Xingzhou, then at Jiang Yingluo, her voice playful: “Are you forcing President Jiang?”

"No!" Jiang Yingluo looked up at Olivia and denied it outright: "Neither he nor I forced the other!"

"Really?" Olivia looked at Jiang Yingluo with a smile: "There was no 'coercion'? That's great."

Hearing her deliberately emphasized tone, Jiang Yingluo's heart skipped a beat. Was Olivia referring to deception and concealment?

Absolutely!

This was the only thing she didn't want to hear from Olivia anything that would be detrimental to her!

"Clan Chief Yongye," Jiang Yingluo composed herself and spoke calmly, "Is there something you need from me at this hour?"

If it relates to our collaboration, we can discuss it at the company tomorrow. This is my personal time now.

Olivia chuckled lightly: "Of course I won't disturb your private time. It's just that I'm about to become one of the representatives of the Eternal Night Council on Apocalypse Island, so I came here specifically to say hello to President Jiang."

After all, we've had a working relationship before, haven't we?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingluo's eyelids twitched, fearing that Li Xingzhou would ask more questions out of curiosity. However, to her relief, Li Xingzhou seemed uninterested in the matter, his gaze wandering around.

Jiang Yingluo looked at Olivia and said calmly, "Indeed, your vampire talents helped me a lot in this matter, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to give birth to Xuetang on my own."

Li Xingzhou's gaze instantly focused on Jiang Yingluo's profile, and he suddenly realized that he should have thought of it sooner.

It is this innate skill of vampires that allows the mother and daughter to achieve an 80% resemblance.

So, does that mean Jiang Yingluo could very well be a mythical beast?

Li Xingzhou suddenly became distracted. Should he have taken the opportunity to check it out while he was on the Ferris wheel?

Just then, Olivia spoke up: "President Jiang, you know I wasn't referring to this collaboration."

She changed the subject and looked at Li Xingzhou.

"Little brother, you really like Jiang Yingluo, don't you?"

······

Chapter 106 Jiang Yingluo begins to feel guilty

"Little brother, you really like Jiang Yingluo, don't you?"

Olivia crossed her arms and looked at Li Xingzhou. To be honest, when she saw the photos of Jiang Wanzhao's coronation banquet, she felt that Jiang Yingluo's gaze towards Li Xingzhou was a bit strange, but she never expected that the speed of their relationship would be so far beyond her expectations.

It's only been a short time since Jiang Wanzhao ascended the throne, and Li Xingzhou and Jiang Yingluo are already on a date at an amusement park. Jiang Yingluo is even asking Li Xingzhou to give her the title of girlfriend?

Olivia was deeply shocked.

She knew Jiang Yingluo's personality all too well. Even if such a strong, aloof woman who was not interested in men liked someone, she couldn't possibly fall for him so quickly, right?

Jiang Yingluo is neither a vampire, nor a demon of the [Lust] sequence, nor an ordinary woman.

She is the president of Xingchen Group, and logically speaking, she is more rational than emotional. How could such a woman want to be Li Xingzhou's girlfriend so quickly?

Are you no longer worried that Xingchen Group will no longer be owned by the Jiang family?

Are you no longer considering whether your daughter, Jiang Xuetang, will accept this?

Could it be that he's been controlled by Li Xingzhou?

But if they were truly under control, how could they possibly ask Li Xingzhou for a formal title?

More importantly, Jiang Yingluo did not have the scent of blood originating from Li Xingzhou.

Therefore, it is impossible for Jiang Yingluo to be controlled by Li Xingzhou.

But if there were no controls, how could Jiang Yingluo have fallen for her so quickly?

Olivia was very curious.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Li Xingzhou grasped Jiang Yingluo's soft little hand: "If we're not going to talk, why don't you move aside first?"

“How can it be unrelated?” Olivia looked at Li Xingzhou meaningfully: “When you went to the Eternal Night Realm before, didn’t you cooperate with my mother?”

She paused, then gave a sad look: "Besides, ever since you let me taste your blood, I've never forgotten you~"

Li Xingzhou squinted at Olivia; it seemed this woman had no suspicions about her relationship with Emilia.

That's why they're so arrogant.

Li Xingzhou smiled noncommittally: "So, you've become addicted after tasting my blood?"

“That’s right~” Olivia crossed her arms and swayed her hips slightly, a charming blush spreading across her face: “Sister, I’m addicted to your blood. If I don’t drink it for a day, I feel unbearably hot all over, I’m completely…”

"I can't leave you~"

Olivia, whose temperament was already mature and whose emotions were easily manipulated, spoke these seductive words with such demeanor and tone that she seemed like a monk who had been injected with Muse, exuding a captivating charm.

Li Xingzhou was surprised by Olivia's honesty. He had never imagined that his blood would be so attractive to her, and she seemed to crave it even more than Emilia.

However, it must be admitted that her expression at this moment was really passionate, making one feel a little restless.

"Is that so?" Li Xingzhou chuckled. "But I said before that after-sales service is not included."

After saying that, he took Jiang Yingluo's hand and started walking. When he reached Olivia's side, he said calmly, "My cooperation with the Second True Ancestor is our business, but you and she may not be of the same mind."

Olivia's smile faded slightly: "But she's still my mother, isn't she?"

"You know it's your mother, not you."

“There’s not much difference.” After realizing that Li Xingzhou wouldn’t be swayed by her threats, Olivia turned to Jiang Yingluo and said, “President Jiang, since you’re not free today, I’ll visit your company tomorrow.”

Some things are better discussed face-to-face.

"I'll be waiting for you at nine o'clock tomorrow."

Watching Li Xingzhou and Jiang Yingluo's departing figures, Olivia chuckled. If she can't control Li Xingzhou, can't she control Jiang Yingluo?

Judging from Jiang Yingluo's reaction, this woman had not been honest with Li Xingzhou. Based on this alone, it was impossible for Jiang Yingluo to completely sever ties with him.

More importantly, Jiang Yingluo's reaction just now was enough to leave a layer of suspicion in Li Xingzhou's heart.

Once a rift develops between people, it is not an easy thing to mend it.

……

Jiang Yingluo gripped Li Xingzhou's hand tightly.

At this moment, her mind was filled with her meeting and conversation with Olivia.

Of all times, they had to appear in front of me at this crucial moment...

It's fine if Li Xingzhou isn't by my side.
