The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Peony is truly a wonderful girl; Your Majesty must cherish her and not let her slip away.

We all think highly of her, and we believe the King understands the feelings of us fans.

[After spending so much time together, haven't you and Peony Girl made any progress in your relationship? That can't be right.]

With such a gentle and considerate girl by your side every day, can you really remain calm and composed?

[It seems Your Majesty's judgment is quite sound; should we praise or criticize you?]

[However, judging from the blush on Peony Girl's face you just saw, Your Majesty and Peony Girl's relationship must be closer than before.]

"Yes... Your Majesty, why don't you tell everyone how far your relationship with Miss Peony has progressed? We're all very curious, please tell us."

[Your Majesty...you must seize this opportunity and not miss it.]

We all wish you both the best and look forward to hearing good news from you two. It would be a tremendous joy for us.

The fans in the live stream teased Yang Xia, saying they had finally gotten this opportunity and wouldn't let him off easily. They also seized the chance to advise Yang Xia to make the most of the situation.

Yang Xia didn't expect that the fans would be so excited after seeing the peony girl, and even start to send blessings to them in the live broadcast room, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Yang Xia sat there quietly, watching his fans tease him in the live stream, but he was actually quite happy. He excitedly told his fans, "By the way... I suddenly started this live stream today because I have something very important to tell you all."

"I may not be able to meet with everyone for a while, and I hope you can understand."

The fans in the live stream were quite surprised to hear Yang Xia's words.

[Your Majesty... what do you mean by that? Are you going somewhere?]

How long will it be before we can't stream? We'll all really miss you.

[That's right... What decision has the King made? Please tell us via live stream!]

Yes... please hurry up and tell us, everyone is getting impatient.

Seeing the fans' eager expressions, Yang Xia smiled and said calmly, "It's like this, I'm planning to visit the Huaxia Empire soon."

"Take this opportunity to relax and improve relations with the Chinese Empire."

The fans in the live stream were overjoyed to hear that Yang Xia was going to the Huaxia Empire. Those in the Huaxia Empire, in particular, were even more excited and flooded the live stream with messages of welcome.

【Excellent… Our Huaxia Empire welcomes Your Majesty at any time. We, on behalf of the Huaxia Empire, warmly extend our invitation to Your Majesty.】

[Yes... Welcome, welcome! We, the netizens of the Chinese Empire, eagerly await the day of Your Majesty's arrival.]

[That's wonderful! I wonder when Your Majesty will depart? When that time comes, our netizens from the Huaxia Empire can go and welcome Your Majesty.]

We await you in the Chinese Empire and will receive you with the highest honors.

【By the way, Your Majesty… I heard you mention in your livestream that you wanted to sell your title. Does that still stand?】

If you really want to sell the title, we're all capable of finding a way; we're genuinely interested in this matter.

When Yang Xia heard his fans suddenly bring up this issue, he couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't know how to explain to the netizens that wanting to sell his title was just a spur-of-the-moment thing to say. But now that the netizens had suddenly asked, he had no choice but to explain.

He looked at the netizens with a wry smile and said, "I'm really sorry, but the Great Zhou Dynasty is now on the right track."

"I said I was going to sell the title just to raise my profile."

"Of course I will not sell this title, so please don't misunderstand. I apologize to everyone here."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's explanation, the fans in the live stream let out a sigh. However, most fans still supported Yang Xia and there was no misunderstanding or unpleasantness because of this incident. They all welcomed Yang Xia in the live stream.

It's okay... we were just asking casually.

We understand why Your Majesty did this. In any case, all netizens of the Huaxia Empire welcome Your Majesty back to visit your family.

The Chinese Empire was once your homeland. Returning to your homeland should make you feel happy and familiar.

[Your Majesty should also go back and see what changes and developments have taken place in the Chinese Empire during your absence.]

[The King has undergone tremendous changes in recent years, and of course, the Chinese Empire is also changing little by little. You should understand each other.]

Yang Xia was delighted to see the enthusiasm of his fans in the live stream. He even felt an urge to return to his hometown and witness its rapid development over the past few years. This had always been a wish of Yang Xia's, but he had been too busy with various things to take the trip.

Yang Xia sighed and looked at the fans in the live stream, asking, "By the way... if I go back this time, I wonder if any of you would like any local specialties?"

"Everyone can take this opportunity to make some requests, and I will try my best to meet them."

After Yang Xia finished speaking, the entire live broadcast room became lively once again.

"Your Majesty...you are so thoughtful! Of course we'd like some local specialties."

I want tuna, and I also want local specialties...

"By the way, Your Majesty... we'd like to ask, is your Great Zhou Dynasty known for its beautiful women? We'd like to ask for some."

[Hahaha... If Your Majesty returns to the Huaxia Empire and brings back a group of beauties, that would be wonderful.]

The atmosphere in the live stream room instantly became very relaxed, with everyone joking around and chatting happily with Yang Xia.

Yang Xia chatted easily with his fans, which immediately lifted his spirits. He felt very content to have his fans sharing his joy.

Time passed by, and Yang Xia realized he had been livestreaming for several hours. He happily told his viewers, "I've had a really great day. Thank you all for chatting with me."

"It's getting late, and I have some things to do, so I'm turning off the live stream. Everyone should go and get some rest too."

"If I have time, I will start a live stream and chat with everyone then."

When the fans heard that Yang Xia was going to end the live stream, they were a little reluctant, but they had already chatted for a long time and were afraid of delaying Yang Xia's business, so they had no choice but to say goodbye to him.

Yang Xia reluctantly turned off the live stream. He had just finished the live stream and hadn't even had a chance to rest when he saw Shaoyao push open the door and enter, carrying his favorite dishes.

Peony said happily, "Your Majesty...come and eat something. You haven't eaten for several hours. You must be starving."

"I made your favorite pastries and soup. Eat some and rest for a bit."

Yang Xia felt somewhat helpless as he heard Shaoyao urging him on. He walked over with a sigh and looked at Shaoyao affectionately, saying, "You're so punctual! I just finished my work, and you've already prepared the food and drinks."

"I am so grateful to have you by my side taking care of me. This is truly the greatest happiness in my life."

"If you weren't there to take such good care of me, I don't know what my life would be like. It would definitely be a mess." "Sometimes I feel really happy. There's always someone caring about me, worried that I'm hungry or cold... This feeling of being valued is really wonderful."

Yang Xia spoke with a look of pure delight, while Shaoyao listened with great joy. She felt that Yang Xia seemed to have changed a lot; he would never have said these things before. The current Yang Xia sometimes truly made her feel warm and was very good at making her happy.

Peony lowered her head and smiled faintly, unsure of what to say. Yang Xia slowly walked to Peony's side, reaching out to pick up the soup bowl, but the bowl was too hot, and he almost burned himself.

Peony was heartbroken to see Yang Xia almost get burned.

"How are you? Did you get burned?"

"Don't move yet, let me take a look."

"You're so old, how can you still be so careless? What if you get burned?"

As she spoke, Shaoyao hurried over, intending to help Yang Xia carry the soup bowl. However, she was walking too fast and tripped over the stool, falling unexpectedly into Yang Xia's arms. Yang Xia held Shaoyao tightly, and the two gazed at each other, their eyes revealing different emotions, instantly changing the atmosphere.

Peony blushed, feeling embarrassed; she thought she looked terrible. Yang Xia looked at Peony with concern and asked, "How are you? How could you be so careless?"

Peony said apologetically, "It's nothing... I just tripped over the stool by accident. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as the two felt the atmosphere becoming somewhat ambiguous, Meng Yu suddenly pushed open the door and entered. He witnessed the scene firsthand: Shaoyao lying in Yang Xia's arms, Yang Xia gazing at her affectionately.

Yang Xia and Shaoyao were caught off guard by Meng Yu's sudden intrusion. Upon seeing Meng Yu, Shaoyao quickly stood up from Yang Xia's embrace, turned around, and awkwardly straightened her clothes, not daring to look at Yang Xia and Meng Yu. She silently thought to herself, "Oh my god... what happened to me? That was so embarrassing."

"How should I face them both? What should I say?"

Just as Shaoyao hesitated, Yang Xia turned and glanced at Meng Yu. Meng Yu smiled slightly, gave Yang Xia a "I understand you" look, and then turned and left without saying a word.

Yang Xia breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Meng Yu's departing figure, but also felt a little embarrassed.

"He...he's gone..."

Yang Xia smiled at Shaoyao, who then slowly turned around and glanced at him shyly. Neither of them knew what to talk about next, and they were momentarily at a loss for words.

Peony bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty... please eat something quickly, otherwise it will get cold and it will be bad for your health."

Upon hearing Shaoyao's words, Yang Xia immediately felt somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say to break the awkward atmosphere.

Yang Xia scratched his head sheepishly and quickly looked at Shaoyao, saying, "I'm sorry... I... I really didn't mean to."

"When I saw you fall, I panicked and..."

Yang Xia was so nervous that he became incoherent and didn't know how to explain to Shaoyao.

After hearing Yang Xia's words, Peony finally realized what was going on.

"No...it's alright, I should be thanking Your Majesty."

"You saved me just now. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have definitely fallen."

As she spoke, a blush rose on her face, and she hurriedly walked past Yang Xia, feeling embarrassed.

At this moment, Peony's cheeks were flushed. She rolled her eyes at Yang Xia and then hurriedly ran away.

Yang Xia gazed at the shy peony, watching her petite figure gradually disappear from his sight.

At that moment, an unprecedented feeling of happiness welled up in his heart.

A happy smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he silently thought to himself:

"This girl... look at your shy appearance, I never thought that having you by my side would make me so happy."

"It wasn't until just now that I finally understood... what exactly this feeling between us is."

"Don't worry, I will return as soon as I have resolved the issues in Xia Kingdom."

"When the time comes, I will definitely propose to you and ask you to marry me so that you can stay by my side forever and never be separated from me."

"After all, I'm not young anymore, and it's really not easy to meet a woman like you who treats me so sincerely."

"I don't know when it started, but you have quietly entered my heart and made me deeply fascinated by you."

Yang Xia was filled with emotion, and the happiness he felt at that moment was indescribable.

His gaze followed the departing figure of the peony for an unknown period of time.

His eyes were filled with reluctance and longing, yet his heart was overflowing with sweetness. Yang Xia had never felt this way before.

He knew very well that Peony had always cared for him deeply, and he couldn't keep her waiting too long.

He could never let Shaoyao down in this lifetime; he had to give her an explanation.

In fact, Yang Xia had long realized that Shaoyao had feelings for him. If she didn't like him, why would a woman be willing to stay by his side and take care of him day and night? Yang Xia understood this deeply.

Yang Xia carefully considered his relationship with Shaoyao, and began to think about what kind of promise he should make to her.

Lost in thought, Yang Xia found himself walking out, wanting to clear his head and sort out his thoughts.

Sure enough, at the corner not far away, he saw Meng Yu looking up at the moon, and Yang Xia quickly walked over.

When Yang Xia approached Meng Yu, Meng Yu looked at Yang Xia respectfully and said, "Your Majesty..."

Yang Xia waved his hand and asked with concern, "By the way... how's the preparation for what I asked you to do going?"

Meng Yu replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured... all the supplies you require have been prepared."

"However, due to the long journey, we cannot carry too many other supplies. Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

"I will do my best to prepare and try my best to meet Your Majesty's requirements."

Yang Xia was very pleased to hear Meng Yu's words, knowing that Meng Yu must have done his best.

Over the years, Meng Yu has always stayed by his side, doing his best and always striving for perfection, which puts Yang Xia at ease.

Yang Xia smiled and looked at Meng Yu, saying, "I understand that, and I believe you have done your best."

Meng Yu nodded slowly, looking at Yang Xia and saying, "Yes... at most, we can only carry essential fresh water and various foods. These are necessities and must not be lacking." (End of Chapter)
