"It sounds...really reliable."

Looking at the man in the mirror, head down, focused on his hair, Ningguang's lips unconsciously curled up in a smile.

Perhaps there really is such a thing as the instinct and talent of a scumbag; even though it was just something he said casually, Luo Mu still accurately hit the nail on the head.

Just as she said, the biggest difference between her and Keqing is that Keqing's aristocratic temperament, cultivated from a scholarly family, is ingrained in her bones from childhood. Therefore, she doesn't need to deliberately show it, and she can naturally and spontaneously behave appropriately in the appropriate situations.

But I am different.

The so-called elegance and grace she exudes actually stem from the fact that in a dog-eat-dog world like the business world, any display of weakness or vulnerability would only result in her being devoured by the surrounding powerful rivals.

Therefore, she could only make herself stronger, at least outwardly, so that she wouldn't appear weak and vulnerable.

As for what lies beneath that strong exterior, to be honest, she doesn't really think she's that resilient or indomitable.

Every time she made those right choices and chose to face those dangers, she was actually filled with unease and fear, but she had learned how to suppress these feelings beneath her outward appearance.

She didn't possess the same deep-rooted self-confidence and fearlessness in the face of danger as Keqing, so every time she encountered danger, it actually added invisible pressure to her heart.

However, the situation has now subtly changed.

Perhaps as a businesswoman and politician, she will never possess the power to withstand any danger, but if that's the case—

Relying on others to acquire this capability is not necessarily a bad option.

Since her own abilities could not support her sense of security, she would rely on another person who could reassure her that they could always face any danger and always be there for her in the face of any crisis.

She didn't know if this choice was right, but at least—

She slept more soundly last night than ever before.

The Divine Calculation System Girl Will Not Be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 541 Keqing: Oh right, it's my turn today!

After a while, Lady Ningguang, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, was finally dressed up beautifully.

Although he doesn't know much about makeup details, he's not that much different from usual!

Whether you say his skills are good or that Ningguang doesn't usually wear makeup, he's not at a disadvantage either way.

"Very good, go out now!"

He happily pulled Ningguang, who was wearing an exquisite purple and white gauze dress and had her long hair tied up in a bun, up from the stool. Then, facing his masterpiece that he had worked so hard for so long, the first thing he did was to reach out and hug Ningguang's slender waist.

Happy.

He had no idea what Ningguang was thinking, whose gaze always seemed to meet his every time he glanced over, and in his current happiness, he didn't intend to think too much about it.

After all, for Mr. Luo Mu, as the man of the family, it is only natural that he should be the first to step up when there are difficulties or dangers. Otherwise, how could he be the head of the family?

Do you really think my ambitions are just empty words?

"What would you like for breakfast, Lady Ningguang? I'd like to let Noelle know in advance?"

As he walked toward the door, he spoke with a light smile to the beautiful woman beside him.

"Is there anything I want to eat? Just eat whatever you usually want."

Ningguang, who was being held by him, also had a gentle smile on her face. She leaned gracefully against his arm, and even her slender body pressed against his side without any concern.

Through the thin summer gauze dress, he could easily feel the woman's shapely figure beneath the fabric, and their warm body heat was clearly being transmitted to each other.

"After all, it's still early today, so we have plenty of time to prepare..."

As he spoke, he opened the door, but it felt as if the door opened by itself, as if he hadn't used much force.

Somewhat confused, Luo Mu turned away from his conversation with Lady Ningguang and saw Noelle standing at the door, dressed in a maid outfit.

Noel was also taken aback when he saw him, and then suddenly peeked into the house behind him.

Noelle: "—??"

he:"--???"

What's with that expression on your face?

He couldn't help but question Noel.

As a result, Noelle, who was standing in front of him, looked as if she had seen something dirty, and jumped back in fright, then turned around and shouted:

"Oh no, Amber-senpai! Senpai has been possessed by a goblin!!"

he:"--????"

……

As a result, a perfectly fine morning was disrupted when Noelle shouted, and the whole family came over to watch.

"Wow, this is terrible!"

Wearing a cute floral pajama set that was completely different from her previous style, and with her long, brownish-red hair not yet styled into pigtails, but simply draped over her shoulders like a walnut, she was earnestly circling around him.

A pair of fair and delicate feet were wearing bunny-themed sandals.

But at this moment, Hu Tao's words were anything but cute!

"Even I, the head of this hall, can't see any clues. It seems that the ghost that possessed Master Luo's body is no ordinary creature. If all else fails, should I use my fire to burn it?"

"Burn my ass! I was perfectly fine to begin with!"

Enraged, Luo Mu gave Hu Tao, who had unexpectedly appeared in front of him, a sharp rap on the head.

"Boom!"

Even their voices are very honest.

"Goo!"

Clutching her head in pain, she jumped back a step, pointing at him and saying, "You really showed your weakness! You actually took advantage of the situation to hurt someone, you evil spirit, show your true form!"

He twitched the corner of his mouth:

"You evil spirit, huh? You think I won't hang you up and give you a good beating first?!"

"Wow! Don't, don't chase me!!"

Watching the two of them chasing each other around the house like children, everyone else in the room quietly looked away.

"You look quite well, Lady Ningguang?"

At home, Ye Lan, who was always generous and magnanimous, casually leaned back on the sofa, wearing only a shirt with two buttons fastened. Not only could one easily see the blue-purple bra that was about to burst out, but besides a pair of matching blue-purple underwear, her two long, snow-white legs were crossed without any embellishment.

Looking at the elegant and noble Ningguang sitting before her, Yelan's face was full of teasing:

"I thought I wouldn't see you until later this morning, but you not only got up so early, but you also seem to have had a good night's sleep?"

"The Abyss Order has exposed a lot of traces this time and is being purged by the Thousand Rock Army. I also have a reliable bodyguard by my side. Shouldn't I be able to get a good night's sleep?"

Ningguang slowly stirred the hot soy milk in the cup with a spoon, but just as she was about to drink it, she looked at the swaying liquid in the cup and her mood suddenly became complicated.

"You two are sleeping in the same room, you can't really just be sleeping, can you? Don't tell me you're one lying on the bed and the other sleeping on the floor, then I'll really have to go and see if someone is really possessed by something evil."

Ye Lan continued teasingly.

Ningguang put down the cup in her hand.

It is indeed soy milk, and the taste is nothing strange... Well, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about this.

“We did sleep in the same bed. After what happened yesterday, only this way can I feel safe enough.”

Ningguang readily admitted it.

Ye Lan clicked her tongue in amazement, but Lady Ke Qing beside her looked utterly shocked.

"I understand how you feel, but I mean, is there any need to distrust everyone like this?"

Lady Keqing carefully chose her words.

Ningguang chuckled softly.

"I am very grateful for Lady Keqing's understanding, but I have encountered this situation many times since the Abyss Order attempted to attack me. But has anyone been more reliable than Luo Mu in any of these instances?"

Ke Qing thought for a moment, and her expression became somewhat conflicted.

Without careful reflection, it's not immediately apparent that Luo Mu's heroic rescue of Ningguang was so outstanding, and given that Ningguang's situation was also the most critical, she almost forgot about what happened before.

Luo Mu's actions were no longer a simple case of him rescuing a damsel in distress; he had ensured Ningguang's safety on numerous occasions.

One or two times, you could find some other explanation, but after showing up to Luo Mu so many times, it seems there's really nothing to say about Ningguang trusting him!

Lady Keqing was speechless for a moment.

Moreover, Luo Mu's performance at crucial moments yesterday has made her somewhat suspicious that Luo Mu's abilities are not just a matter of good luck and talent. This guy seems to have some extraordinary skills, so... never mind.

"Anyway, this isn't my business, so do as you please."

Lady Keqing shook her head, trying her best not to think too much about the strange things between Ningguang and Luo Mu.

However, Ningguang, who was sitting opposite Keqing, smiled.

"This is indeed not your business, Lady Keqing, but you should be going to investigate the case with Luo Mu and the others today. I'll have to trouble you to take good care of my assistant then."

The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 542 Breakfast Meeting

Lady Keqing sensed trouble.

She initially conducted investigations alone, at most collaborating with Night Orchid. Later, under pressure, she began collaborating with Amber and her investigation team, just as Luo Mu returned to Mondstadt.

In other words, excluding the brief operation last night, this was the first time she had officially investigated a case with Luo Mu.

Based on her understanding of Luo Mu so far, even if this guy really has something special about him, it absolutely cannot change the fact that he is inherently troublesome.

but--

“If Lady Keqing wants to find out the truth of the case as soon as possible, then I believe that Luo Mu’s power is indispensable.”

Ningguang said with a light laugh.

"Aha……"

Lady Keqing sighed, pressing her forehead.

She really couldn't refute that statement right now.

After all, compared to what she had found in her previous investigation, Luo Mu's results and impact were probably much greater... well, much greater.

But that's only so far!

"Don't think I don't know what you're reminding me of. I'll listen to that guy's opinions more until I have some tangible results."

Lady Keqing pouted and said somewhat unhappily.

She admitted that she was not as good as Luo Mu, yet Ning Guang told her to take care of Luo Mu. This was clearly the opposite of what she meant.

For Lady Keqing, who is always one step ahead of others, or even several steps ahead, and always holds the dominant position, such a thing is naturally not easy to accept.

However, even if she was unwilling to accept it, she was not an unreasonable person.

She wouldn't do something like trying to stand out when she has no achievements.

"Hehe, I never said that, but if Lady Keqing is willing to be modest, I would naturally be happy to see it."

A slight smile appeared on Ningguang's lips.

But this only made Lady Keqing even more unhappy.

"Oh, right."

Lady Keqing chose to change the topic.

She glanced at Ye Lan, who was leaning back on the sofa, swinging her legs and looking on with amusement, and her expression became slightly more serious:

"Any results from the investigation into the Winter Solstice person from yesterday?"

"I was originally planning to talk about this during dinner, but Lady Keqing, isn't it a bit too abrupt to change the subject like this?"

Ye Lan put down her crossed legs and said with a teasing expression.

"Don't worry about it so much. It's better to tell us sooner rather than later when there's a result for something so important!"

Lady Keqing was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

You guys are all so annoying! No wonder you all teamed up!

"Because this matter might be a bit troublesome, I just wanted to choose an occasion where everyone can discuss it."
