A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Raphael frowned and suddenly raised his head.

He glared angrily at Cullen, "Watch your words! Is this your manners?"

His voice was clear and loud, which startled Cullen.

He opened his mouth, "He's the one who wanted to break us up, and I was so angry that I blurted things out..."

"Cullen, when was I ever with you?"

Raphael met Cullen's gaze.

She said firmly, "My brother's words are my words. I will never marry you in this lifetime."

After saying that, he took Shi Yu's arm and left without looking back.

Cullen froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, the sound of his heart shattering into countless pieces echoing in his ears.

The twins, with a tacit understanding, sensed that something was wrong with him and quickly and gently comforted him.

"Raphael has definitely been brainwashed by that guy Shi Yu. Once he comes to his senses, he will definitely come back to your side."

Cullen's eyes were lifeless.

She murmured to herself, "Will he really come back to me?"

His words revealed despair and uncertainty, as if all hope had been lost.

His resolute face was shrouded in fatigue, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely haggard.

He took a step forward to follow, but was blocked by a group of soldiers.

The lead soldier said expressionlessly, "Please leave the mine immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite."

These words ignited a fire of rage within Cullen.

He glared at the soldier with wide eyes.

He roared, "Today, I'm going to force my way in! Go ahead and try to stop me!"

He released his mental energy, lifting the soldier into the air before throwing him away.

The soldier's body arced through the air before crashing to the ground.

Cullen snorted coldly, about to kill the other soldiers.

Suddenly, a ball of light appeared out of nowhere.

It came hurtling towards him like lightning, crashing hard into his abdomen.

The attack was incredibly powerful, and Cullen was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"King Cullen, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, the twins exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

They rushed over and helped Cullen up from the ground, one on each side.

A sharp pain struck, and Cullen's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his back already soaked through.

I felt as if my ribs had been broken, and the pain was unbearable.

He clenched his teeth, enduring the unbearable pain.

He stared intently at the drifting ball of light, wondering who had released it.

The ball of light floated leisurely in mid-air, seemingly still provoking itself.

This made Cullen feel extremely humiliated, and his anger burned fiercely within him.

He growled, "How dare you steal my insects! I, Cullen, swear here and now that I will never forgive Shi Yu, not even to the death!"

The vow echoed in the air, carrying with it endless resentment.

The sphere of light swayed slightly and emitted a disdainful sound.

"Tch, what brand of garbage bag are you? How can you hold so much?"

"Who is it? Show yourself right now, don't hide..."

Rosso drifted slowly into the distance.

He completely disregarded Cullen's threats, even displaying a hint of mockery.

This time, it's just a small punishment for him.

If he continues to be oblivious to his own mortality and keeps targeting Raphael, then it won't be as simple as just breaking a few ribs.

Cullen heard an extremely arrogant voice.

The anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

He endured the excruciating pain in his body and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

After scanning around, they found nothing unusual.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the ball of light still floating in mid-air, as if mocking his incompetence.

The soldiers avoided him like the plague, retreating back into the mine and closing the gates tightly.

Due to the severity of his injuries, Cullen could only be helped back to the hotel by the twins.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu had already put what had just happened out of his mind.

He was directing the soldiers in the kitchen to cook, chatting animatedly.

"The secret to delicious stir-fries lies in mastering the heat and the precision of seasoning."

The cooking time determines the texture and nutrient retention of the ingredients, while the seasonings affect the final quality of the dish.

Seasonings are an indispensable part of cooking; they add flavor, improve texture, and enhance color to dishes…

The cooks listened attentively and took notes.

The Major General is not only handsome, but also so approachable; he's simply the best male insect ever.

Everyone was curious about how the Major General and Chris met.

"Lord Chris is truly blessed to have married such a gentle and considerate man."

"You're all wrong. Marrying Chris is the greatest blessing of my life."

Shi Yu smiled faintly, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

He suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed in annoyance, "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about that!"

Then he remembered that he had forgotten to pick up his wife from the mine.

He looked at Raphael with a serious expression. "You wait here and don't wander off. I'm going to find Chris."

Raphael forced a smile. "Okay, go ahead. Don't keep Chris waiting too long."

I watched him turn and leave, his steps hurried.

Until his tall figure completely disappeared.

Raphael slowly withdrew his gaze, as if he had lost all his strength.

He stood silently in place, taking half a shriveled lemon out of his pocket.

The plump, juicy flesh has been hollowed out, leaving only a thin layer of peel.

It has been sniffed by its owner many times, and a faint lemon scent remains on it.

He whispered a name.

"Rosso, will you marry me?"
