"Xuexue left too." A sigh sounded beside my ear.
Shen Mochen recognized the voice and pretended to be relaxed. "No worries, if she fails in her idol career, she'll co back. Hey, since you're so reluctant, I'll pull so strings to get her kicked out early."
"Get lost!" Xia Qingrou kicked over, "You dare!"
"Hahaha!" Shen Mochen burst into laughter.
"I feel like everyone is growing... only I'm stuck in place." Xia Qingrou sighed quietly and jumped off the rooftop, "Heading back, I just ca out to use the bathroom and saw you weren't here."
"Actually, I think you've grown a lot." Shen Mochen said behind her.
"Like what?" Xia Qingrou turned her head and asked.
"Bedroom skills?" Shen Mochen tilted his head.
Xia Qingrou had already jumped down, but hearing this, she imdiately climbed back up and kicked Shen Mochen hard.
"Don't even think about touching after Xuexue left!"
Shen Mochen grimaced in pain, but didn't imdiately use his superpower to heal. A bit of pain was necessary; perhaps it's proof he's human.
"Feeling lancholic?" Catherine sohow appeared beside Li Zhuangsheng.
Compared to Xia Qingrou, Catherine's body was more flexible, and the whole process was silent.
"A little bit." Li Zhuangsheng smiled.
There's no point in deceiving Catherine; she knew which words were true.
"I thought you were reluctant to leave behind your days of having it all."
"Haha, isn't there still you..."
Shen Mochen reached out to hug her, but Catherine deftly dodged.
"I've been wondering lately, how did I fall for soone like you, a jerk? It was a mistake to be curious about you from the start." Catherine looked at the sky, her long hair shimring like silver in the moonlight, her already cold and captivating face shining even brighter.
"Still angry? I apologize for last ti, but it was you guys who bullied first... I didn't do anything to you!"
"You're just afraid, fearing I'll really chop you up into pieces."
"No, I know you wouldn't want to cut ; I'm just respecting you."
Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue have had relations with him before, so they could vent their anger a bit excessively, but with Catherine, it never reached that stage.
Moreover, Princess has an exceptionally high pride and would not be forced to do anything in front of others. Even so, Catherine hasn't touched him these days.
"Should I thank you for that?" Catherine curved her lips into a cold smile, but she could tell Li Zhuangsheng was speaking truthfully.
"No need, no need, I'm content as long as you aren't mad at anymore." Shen Mochen smiled apologetically. Content sourced from MV4LEMPYR – My Virtual Library Empire.
"Do you love ?"
"Of course, I love you."
"Actually, I don't like such questions. I can't distinguish truth from falsehood in such questions, because so people deceive themselves. I want you to prove it to ."
"How do you want to prove it?"
"The proof you gave last ti at the winery's presentation has expired." Catherine smiled slightly, "So, I want you to personally go to Norman and formally propose to at the Alexandrov Family."
Shen Mochen was stunned.
"Let be clear, don't say I didn't warn you." Catherine gave him a cold glance, the hint of a smile in her eyes was barely noticeable, "So people in Norman already suspect your superpower is far more complex than the official narrative. They have their own information channels; your permissions and confidentiality level at Buque are ridiculously high unless you're the bastard child of your Yupi president. Before I ca, soone wanted to extract your secrets. If you go there this ti, you might not return. If you don't co back, the best outco is to be kept captive for life in Roman, and Buque won't hand over Yin Caiyu."
"So, are you willing to go?"
By the end, Catherine wore a provocative expression.
Shen Mochen looked at her and remained silent for a long ti.
Catherine's aning was clear; going to the Roman Empire would be an adventurous journey, risking death or captivity. If his secrets were fully revealed to the other side, not even the Alexandrov Family could protect him. Besides, they surely wouldn't either.
Even if he wanted to pledge allegiance, he has black hair and black eyes as a Yupi person, unlike the trust shown towards him by Yupi, the Roman Empire would never believe him. No politician truly trusts an opportunist who can easily betray their country.
Moreover, in Yupi, there's Yin Caiyu, and Xia Qingrou, Han Muxue, Cai Yuncui...
This ti is different from the last ti at Guanghai Manor's rival proposal; back then, he was certain of victory, only worried about facing consequences afterward.
But this ti, on soone else's territory, with unnaable forces targeting him, the outco is beyond his control.
Catherine saw Shen Mochen's silence and lowered her eyes with a smile. She wasn't surprised at all, knowing that Shen Mochen's experiences since childhood made him calm and cautious; the world is vast, but personal safety cos first.
It was within her expectations, yet, she felt sowhat disappointed.
"Last ti was just about the rival proposal, disrupting your presentation, but I've never given you an explanation. You must face pressure within your family too." Shen Mochen suddenly said.
Catherine showed a slight reaction.
"It's ti for a proper proposal, can't keep you waiting too long." Shen Mochen laughed, "Plus, the opponents last ti were just nobodies; next ti, if your Crown Prince asks for your hand, I can't go up against your empire."
Catherine laughed, and in that mont, even the moonlight dimd.
"Our Crown Prince is already married; though he can remarry, it is indeed quite dangerous."
Catherine embraced Shen Mochen, kissing him deeply on the lips.
The two held each other tightly in resolution, marking complete reconciliation since that day.
…
The next day, Shen Mochen woke up alone in bed. He rose and went downstairs, finding the living room empty.
"Did Xiaoxue already leave?"
"Yes, Qingrou and Cai went to send her off at the Sentinel Station." Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly, "She intentionally didn't wake you up, probably unsure how to face you."
"I understand." Shen Mochen nodded and then deliberately joked, "That girl, as if it's a life and death parting, I can still visit her on my vacation!"
"She's quite guilty at heart." Liu Chaoyan said lightly, "She probably sees herself as a selfish deserter."
"Deserter... what kind of deserter is that." Shen Mochen said softly.
Catherine erged from Han Muxue's room, stretching lazily. She spent the night with the girls of 0819. Despite previous conflicts, the days of sharing life and fighting side by side had accumulated so feelings.
