Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Gretsch heard the door open and looked up to see her knight. She was so startled that she forgot about her sore bottom and quickly stood up to shield the computer screen with her body.

"Gresh, are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing. Why did you suddenly come in, Mr. Knight?"

Her gaze darted away, and Gretchen's face flushed slightly.

"I heard you fall, so I couldn't help but come in. I'm glad to see you're alright."

"Well, then, Sir Knight, please go down quickly. I'll be right down for dinner."

"Are you drawing something?"

Seeing that Gretchen was alright, Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but this demeanor aroused his curiosity.

Was there something on the screen that was covered up that he couldn't see?

"No, it's nothing, it's just... just some after-school exercises..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a similarly somewhat childish voice came from the speakers next to the computer.

"Wow, Gretchen, you actually got a picture of the boss's upper body! Hehehe, I've been wanting to see this for so long, I really want to draw it right away~"

"Gresh, Gresh, are you there?"

Soon, Nangong Yu recognized the voice as that of Gretchen's friend, Sagiri.

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Gretchen, whose body was stiff.

Oh no, I only turned off the microphone, but forgot to turn off the sound too.

Just as Gretchen was in a panic, she suddenly saw that Mr. Knight was already standing in front of her, using the height difference to look directly over her head at the computer screen.

"No, no!!!"

A shy, coquettish cry rang out, and Nangong Yu's gaze was fixed on the screen.

Looking at the handsome man with his bare upper body, whose style was somewhat aesthetically pleasing but whose outline could still be vaguely discerned, and the girl who looked like Sagiri and was being pinned against the wall by the handsome man, I saw her.

A speech bubble next to the character also displays a string of somewhat cheesy lines.

Subconsciously, Nangong Yu read it aloud: "Woman, you've caught my attention..."

"Don't look! Don't look anymore!!!"

For a moment, the entire villa echoed with Gretchen's voice, which sounded like she was about to collapse from shame.

Chapter 156 Are you ready, legends?

The shame that had reached its limit caused Gretchen to unleash unprecedented power in an instant.

Nangong Yu felt the small hand pushing against her chest suddenly tighten, and she staggered back a step. Her heel got stuck on the crooked chair leg, and she fell backward.

Greta, due to exerting too much force, lost her balance and fell onto him.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Fortunately, he managed to brace himself with his arm in time, so he only hit his butt and was otherwise unharmed.

"Yes, sorry!"

Gretchen, who had landed on Nangong Yu, was well protected. Once she regained her senses, she immediately propped herself up and hurriedly began to apologize.

"I'm fine, Gretchen, could you please get off me first?"

To be honest, there's something slightly off about their position right now.

Greta supported herself on his chest with both hands, her little bottom resting on his waist, her face flushed red, and she looked a little teary-eyed from her earlier actions.

Moreover, he remembered that the door wasn't closed when he came in, and Gretchen's scream would definitely attract the people downstairs.

If his family saw this, his life might be over.

Biting her lip, Gretchen didn't stand up; instead, she started tearing at his clothes.

"Gratio?"

She quickly pulled her clothes tighter, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and said in a wronged but somewhat stubborn voice, "I... I wanted to check if Mr. Knight was injured. He cried out in pain just now."

"I'm fine, I just slipped and fell on my butt. You get up first, let me get up too."

"Really?"

"Really, really, please get up first."

As he spoke, he reached out to help Gretchen sit up, but just as his hand was halfway out, he heard a thud from the doorway.

Kiana rushed in, saw the scene before her, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Ugh~"

Upon hearing Kiana's strange tone, Nangong Yu immediately slapped his forehead.

Well, it's too late.

.......

"I thought my lifelong reputation was going to be ruined today."

With a sigh, Nangong Yu took a bite of the dinner that Xi'er had prepared.

"Why are you making such a big deal out of a fall? Gretchen is so young, and you're not some kind of pervert."

Bronya muttered a somewhat exasperated comment, but quickly paused, her hand holding the soup bowl still, and looked at him suspiciously: "You don't actually have any feelings for Gretchen, do you?"

Upon hearing Bronya's voice, everyone at the table stopped eating and stared intently at him.

Noticing the stares from everyone, Nangong Yu swallowed hard, then shook her head frantically: "Of course not! I'm really not a pervert!!!"

Everyone except Gretchen breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately looked heartbroken: "So the Knight doesn't like me? I understand. I won't bother the Knight anymore."

"You bastard, you actually made Gretsch cry!" Kiana immediately chimed in, eager to stir up trouble.

"No, no, no, of course I like little Gretchen." She replied with a bit of a headache, while also having to endure the teasing looks from her family.

"Then why did you deny it just now?"

Tilting her head, Greta stared straight at him.

"This, this, Gretchen, you have to understand, liking and liking are not the same thing."

"What's different?"

"This, this, this is different..."

Her voice faltered slightly, and her wandering gaze suddenly fell on Alice, who was chuckling to herself beside Gretsch. She immediately turned the question away: "Ask your sister Alice, she knows!"

"Little sister Alicia, why do you like things differently?"

Seeing that Gretchen's attention had shifted, Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could even take a couple of bites to calm his nerves, he noticed that Ellie's smile was becoming increasingly arrogant. She put her hands on Gretsch's shoulders, and the two of them looked at Nangong Yu together.

"The 'like' that Ah Yu talks about is the kind of 'like' where she wants Greta to be her wife~"

"Wife, wife!!"

Greta's face immediately turned red. She became a little shy, stole a glance at Nangong Yu, and quickly looked away after their eyes met, whispering, "So, Mr. Knight, do you want me to be your wife when I grow up?"

"Yes, that's right~"

puff! !

Nangong Yu almost choked on his food. He must have lost his mind to bring up such a topic with Ai Li, forgetting that this girl was a master of stirring up trouble.

At this moment, Gretchen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, lowered her head, and said slowly and earnestly to him, "I'm sorry, Sir Knight, I... I'm not ready yet."

"Oh dear, I got rejected~" Ellie laughed quite happily.

“I got rejected.” This is Eden finding the scene quite amusing.

“My husband was rejected, huh?” Kaguya smiled.

"Don't be too sad, brother~" Seele kept giggling.

"Ayu, look ahead!" This was Kiana saying, putting on an elder's air.

"Serves you right." Xilin didn't know why she was a little annoyed.

"Hehe~" Mei smiled but didn't reply.

“Happy.” Bronya immediately transformed into a comedian.

"That's enough!!!"

Nangong Yu's smile spread to everyone's faces, and the dinner ended in such a cheerful atmosphere.

"So, what did you do just now to make Gretchen scream like that?"

After dinner, everyone gathered around the sofa and chatted.

With the TV on as background noise, Kiana looked curiously at Nangong Yu as soon as she sat down.

Feeling even more exhausted after dinner, Nangong Yu collapsed onto the sofa, with Ai Li, who had just made him so angry, beside him.

However, the way Ellie was clinging to him so affectionately made all his anger dissipate. He sighed and lay down on Ellie's plump thighs. He glanced at Kiana, and although he felt that there was something wrong with the question she asked, he still casually replied, "Nothing, Gray was just chatting with her girlfriends about some private things. I forgot to knock when I went in, and I startled her."

He naturally wouldn't reveal Gretchen's secret directly, lest he make the young girl so shy that she became withdrawn.

“That’s where you’re wrong, Ayu.”

"I have learned a profound lesson."

"Pfft~"

Thinking back to the scene during dinner, Kiana couldn't help but laugh again.

She rolled her eyes at her, feeling rather tired, and turned over, burying her face in Alicia's soft little belly.

Speaking of which, has Ellie gained weight recently? Her tummy feels much softer to the touch.

Of course, he didn't dare say it aloud. He just muttered it to himself. It was quite comfortable to feel chubby like this, and it was better not to remind him.

His nose was filled with the sweet scent unique to Ellie, and he began to think about Gretchen.
