Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

This dinner was very flavorful.

The smell of gunpowder.

Ye Hongling spoke first, casually eating her food as she said, "I heard about your background from Chen Nian. I heard you are a princess, and seeing you today, I can confirm your extraordinary bearing."

That call of "sister" really ignited the flames of war.

Gu Qingyue's smile seemed to conceal a knife as she gently placed a piece of meat into Chen Nian's bowl: "Who exactly is the younger sister is still unknown. Don't you agree, Chen Nian?"

Chen Nian ate meat but dared not speak.

"By the way, I heard that Miss Ye wants to know the whereabouts of Zhuque. Someone recently reported this to me, so telling you isn't out of the question."

Gu Qingyue's use of the word "Miss" was subtle and carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Of course, this is because of Chen Nian," Gu Qingyue added.

Chen Nian nodded, thinking to himself that she was a princess after all, and had a great capacity for tolerance.

"However, I cooked this meal, so I'd appreciate it if Miss Ye could wash the dishes later. There's an old saying that goes, 'A good woman is one who can grace the living room and manage the kitchen,' I hope Miss Ye can do that?"

Chen Nian: ......

This is an epic problem!

Gu Qingyue was demonstrating her magnanimity while simultaneously trying to put Ye Hongling down. If Ye Hongling couldn't do that, wouldn't she be unable to even be a good woman, putting her at a disadvantage from the start?

If Ye Hongling really went to wash the dishes, then Gu Qingyue would still have a slight advantage; either way, it's her advantage.

It's too cruel.

However, Ye Hongling did not need to solve the problem herself.

Now Chen Nian has to help her; for the sake of his future happiness with Xiao Qi, he has no choice but to help.

She calmly replied, "If Chen Nian wants me to wash the dishes, then of course I can. What do you think, Chen Nian?"

Chen Nian didn't know what to say for a moment, so he looked at Shang Zeying.

Sakura has a small appetite. She wiped her greasy mouth with a tissue and stood up.

"Sakura, where are you going?" Chen Nian asked.

"Watch TV, I don't have to wash the dishes today."

Chen Nian: 6.

Chen Nian then looked at Xiao He, who was gentle and easy to bully.

"How about... I wash the dishes? After all, we're just eating and staying here for free with Brother Chen Nian," Xiao He asked tentatively.

"Who gave you permission to wash?" Gu Qingyue asked calmly.

"Then... I'll go watch TV too." Xiaohe silently ran off to stay with Shangze Ying.

Only three people remained at the dinner table.

Gu Qingyue, Ye Hongling, Chen Nian.

This bowl can't be washed by someone else, he's the emperor of the family!

.......

Tang Rou was lying on her sofa at home, hugging a pillow and watching a TV series. She couldn't be more comfortable.

She usually doesn't go to Chen Nian's place; the atmosphere is too tense, and she might get caught up in it at any time.

Just then, a phone call came in, interrupting her blissful binge-watching session.

"Boss?"

"Tang Rou, are you free right now?"

"I do have free time."

"If you have time, why don't you come over to my place and wash the dishes?"

"......"

"A legendary item?"

"Do you think I, Tang Rou, am so easily ordered around? You mere..."

"Two pieces. I'll have the guild members find suitable equipment for you right away, and I guarantee you'll become the strongest support in the entire guild."

"Okay, boss, I'll take a taxi over to wash the dishes for you!"

Tang Rou said, "It's so great to be with the boss."

Currently, a Tier 3 legendary item costs at least a million on the market. Others might fight tooth and nail for such an item, but she doesn't have to; she can get it by washing dishes for her boss.

Earning millions for washing dishes? Is there anything more satisfying in the world?

In fact, her equipment is now no worse than that of the big shots and rich players in the guild, and she got it all for free, never spending any money herself.

"I hope there will be more of these good things in the future," Tang Rou thought to herself.

........

Finally, after spending a lot of money, Chen Nian got the information he wanted and informed Ye Hongling.

The two decided to set off the next morning to search for the Vermilion Bird.

However, Gu Qingyue had one special request.

"You can sleep with her this afternoon and with me tonight, that should be fine, right?"

Chen Nian said helplessly, "If you come over at night and she finds out, and she comes over too, then will the three of us sleep together?"

"Pah! You wish!"

Gu Qingyue rolled her eyes at Chen Nian, annoyed: "Come over tonight. Anyway, you've been to my palace more than once or twice, I'm used to it."

"But you sleep with Xiaohe..."

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way to kick her out tonight. I'll wait for you."

That night.

It was late at night.

Gu Qingyue and Xiao He didn't have the habit of playing on their phones in bed at night; they would chat for a few minutes and then get ready to sleep.

Soon, Xiaohe drifted off into a sweet dream.

But not long after, she suddenly felt a chill. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that the princess had taken all the bedding.

"Hmm..."

Xiaohe rubbed her sleepy eyes, pulled a corner of the blanket over herself, and barely covered her upper body.

But before I could even close my eyes and relax for ten minutes, I was suddenly kicked in the butt and almost fell off the bed.

Now she was wide awake, but she wasn't angry. She just muttered to herself, "I didn't expect the princess to be such a terrible sleeper."

She silently picked up her pillow, put on her slippers, gently closed the door, and went outside.

After much deliberation, she knocked on Uesawa Sakura's door and said in a pitiful tone:

"Hello, may I sleep with you?"

"Can."

Uesawa Sakura took in the pitiful little lotus.

At this moment, Chen Nian had already activated "Shadow Concealment" and arrived at Gu Qingyue's room.

"You really have the heart to treat Xiaohe like this..." Chen Nian couldn't help but complain.

"It's alright, it's good for her to make more friends. Besides, I've always been very good to her. Why aren't you coming up here, you rascal?"

After Chen Nian climbed into bed, Gu Qingyue leaned against him with a smile and gave him a sweet kiss.

"Even though we were only lovers for seven days, you can't really say you have absolutely no feelings for me, can you? What if I marry another man someday? Let's see what you'll do then..."

Before Gu Qingyue could finish speaking, Chen Nian had already sealed her lips with a kiss.

The two hugged and kissed for a long time before finally stopping.

"Chen Nian... I heard that here, the groom's family gives the bride's family a dowry. Many people don't get married because they can't afford the expensive dowry. Is that true?"

"That's all Tang Rou teaches you every day..."

"It's alright, not only do I not want a betrothal gift, but I can also give you one."

Chen Nian felt like he was listening to a magical story; any man would be moved by that, right?

"But there's no rush. With great power comes great responsibility. I know you also have important things to do. With great power comes great responsibility. When you want to be a prince consort, come and marry me."

Chen Nian nodded slightly in response.

"Oh, right, I also have something important to tell you. Our world... seems to have more than just us humans."

"What do you mean? There are other human races?"

"I don't know. This continent is very large. We have just come out from underground, like a newborn. There are still many unknowns in the world that we have not yet explored."

Chen Nian thought about it and agreed. Even in today's technologically advanced society, humans cannot travel to every corner of the world, let alone their world.

"You should come back soon; we promised to have dinner together for the New Year."

"it is good."
