Fortunately, Shangguan Meng took the initiative to speak and continue the conversation.
"Is there even a question?" Shangguan Meng wrapped her arm around Shangguan Lin's, pressing half her face against the other's arm, and said:
"It must have been the older sister who discovered their flaws during the visit! Since she found something clearly wrong with them, how could she let it go? Right, older sister?"
Seeing Shangguan Meng's "Am I smart? Praise me!" expression, Shangguan Lin was momentarily speechless. She could only chuckle and pat the other's head, skipping over the topic.
"Alright, stop asking me all these questions. I just got off the plane and haven't even had a bite to eat yet. How can you bear to let your eldest sister chat with you on an empty stomach?"
"Oh dear, I forgot. Second sister, let's drive and go eat first."
"Okay." Shangguan Xi nodded, not dwelling on the previous topic, and instead smiled at the two of them:
"So...where should we go to eat?"
"Xiaomeng, what do you want to eat?"
"How about... sauerkraut fish? The one we ate at before."
"Okay, let's go there."
"Okay, hold on tight, let's go!"
Let's go!
The vehicle started, the engine made a rhythmic sound, and it began to drive down the street.
They continued chatting inside the car. Shangguan Lin showed no impatience in answering her two younger sisters' questions, addressing them one by one, but…
Shangguan Lin's hand unconsciously reached into her right pocket, then paused slightly.
Inside was a small device, a heart rate tracker placed near the heart. Of course, she destroyed the inside of this thing immediately after the operation ended, and now only the outer shell remains.
The figure from a few days ago involuntarily came to mind:
"This is a locator that can monitor heartbeats. It will automatically sound an alarm if it leaves the heart's location for three seconds. I need you... to do me a favor and help me complete this operation..."
"This guy..."
Shangguan Lin muttered to herself, but ultimately did not take the things out of her pocket.
His gaze swept over Shangguan Xi in the driver's seat, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi..."
"Big sister, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."
"It's nothing, how much further is it?"
"Just turn the corner ahead and you'll be there."
"it is good."
……
The next day.
Amy only slowly woke up when the sunlight streamed through the window and filled the entire room.
The blanket only covered a few important parts of her body, her slender, fair legs were outside the blanket, and her delicate collarbone and shoulders were also exposed to the air. Perhaps because she was a little tired yesterday, there was still a trace of fatigue between her brows.
He reached out to the side but found nothing. Instead, he heard rustling sounds coming from outside.
Puzzled, Amy sat up in bed, completely ignoring the large expanse of exposed skin revealed by the blanket slipping off. She simply grabbed a loose shirt, put it on, and walked barefoot outside.
Chen Feng was busy in the kitchen at that moment.
The condiments, already separated, were laid out to the side. He wielded the spatula with practiced ease, displaying a style reminiscent of a hotel chef.
"Ok?"
While Chen Feng was busy, a pair of snow-white arms suddenly wrapped around him from behind.
He didn't even need to turn around to know who it was:
"Stop messing around, I'm busy. If you keep messing around, the food will burn."
Chen Feng affectionately patted the hair of the person behind him, then quickly let go and turned back to his spatula.
Amya didn't say anything, nor did she show any intention of letting go; she just watched quietly with a smile on her face.
Chen Feng wasn't wearing a formal suit or a suit today, and of course, he wasn't dressed as a phantom thief. He was simply wearing a plaid shirt and slippers.
Her outfit was ridiculously simple.
However, when faced with his outfit, Amy felt a sense of realism, as if he were... just an ordinary young couple in everyday life.
The last dish was successfully cooked, and Chen Feng put down the spatula in his hand.
"Did you buy these vegetables and seasonings?" Amy asked, puzzled, after Chen Feng finished his work.
"Of course, I originally planned to see what was in the refrigerator and then do it, but when I opened the refrigerator, I found that there was nothing inside. I had no choice but to go to the supermarket first."
Chen Feng's face showed a hint of helplessness.
That makes sense, how could Amya, who is usually so busy, possibly have time to cook for herself at home?
He had only spoken halfway when Chen Feng seemed to notice something, his voice paused, and his brows furrowed slightly:
"Why did you come out without shoes? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
"I... sigh..."
Before Amy could utter a complete sentence, a pair of strong arms reached out and lifted her up horizontally.
Feeling the other's chest pressed tightly against hers, Amy swallowed back her original words, simply wrapped her arms around Chen Feng's neck, buried her face in his chest, and looked up at him quietly.
Not long after.
Chen Feng then carried Amy to the dining table and gently laid her down on the sofa, though his eyes still held a hint of reproach.
"It's not summer yet, you'll easily catch a cold if you don't even wear slippers! Don't do that again."
Seeing Chen Feng's displeased look, Amy didn't say anything, but her gaze never left him. She smiled and nodded obediently.

Chapter 449 Unexpected Visitor
"Internal conflicts within the royal family? Does Crown Princess Amya's relocation from Klausburg mean her position is in jeopardy?"
"In mid-October of 2051 AD, King Hunter of the Kingdom of Lorqing once again publicly expressed his intention to abdicate ahead of schedule. This was the third time His Majesty the elderly king had made such a public statement. However, the most promising heir, Crown Princess Amya, has not yet responded."
"King Hunt's brother, Prince Keruak, once again gave a public speech, expressing his condolences for his brother King Hunt's health and his willingness to help him with his affairs."
"Does the cooperation agreement reached between Prince Keruk and the Dottiblair Group mean that the Prince's Party of Lorqing has gained another major boost?"
……
"What are you looking at?"
On the sofa, Chen Feng, having finished his meal, was sitting in front of the computer screen browsing recent information.
Amy, holding a wine glass, curiously leaned forward, but her smile froze slightly after just one glance, though she quickly recovered.
He sat down next to Chen Feng, poured a glass of the already decanted red wine, and handed it to Chen Feng, saying softly, "Why are you suddenly interested in the news?"
"It shouldn't be considered sudden."
Chen Feng took the wine glass and looked in Amy's direction. His unusual seriousness made Amy feel a little guilty.
“I’ve been keeping up with the news here for a long time, and my sudden return is also related to this.”
"Amya, you've been too willful this time."
"I……"
Amya was momentarily speechless, and the wine glass she had already picked up was placed back on the table.
"I originally planned to wait until you came back before agreeing to my father's request, and besides, my uncle's influence in the country has never been very high, so I didn't expect..."
"You didn't expect him to suddenly receive such strong support from the Dolby Blair Group?" Chen Feng continued the conversation.
Amya nodded, without denying it.
The Dolby Blair Group, one of the ten most influential financial groups in Western Europe, is involved in multiple sectors including energy, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and chemicals. It controls almost one-third of Western Europe's energy trade and is an absolute financial behemoth.
And that's not all.
The Dolby Blair Group also has more than twenty subsidiary holding groups, which are distributed in various fields such as heavy industry, light industry, marine industry, and environmental protection. It can be said that with the support of these subsidiary groups, the company is well-positioned to succeed.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Dolby Blair Group is the most powerful emerging group in Western Europe.
Its influence is self-evident.
If Amya's uncle, Prince Keluk, wanted to use their power to vie for the throne, they would be a formidable force.
Ring ring—
Just as the two were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Chen Feng and Amy exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, indicating that she should deal with the matter at hand first. Then, Chen Feng turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Only after watching Chen Feng enter the bedroom and close the door did Amy get up and walk outside.
"Who?"
"it's me."
A rather familiar voice rang out.
Amy was taken aback, but she still went forward and opened the door.
Sure enough, a cold-looking "man" was standing at the door, with a neat short haircut and a men's suit, looking quite like a rich young master.
However, her feminine face and voice still allowed people to recognize the woman in front of her as a "young master".
"Vell?" Amya's fair brows furrowed slightly. She seemed surprised yet wary of the newcomer. "Why are you here?" she asked.
Amya was somewhat unsure how to address this countess, a title bestowed upon her by her own father.
Previously, Violet's pursuit of Amya had brought their relationship to a freezing point. However, after learning that Amya was already taken, Violet took the initiative to give up and even helped her with a small favor, which slightly eased the tension between them.
Even so, Amya still unconsciously remained somewhat wary of this former suitor.
"Aren't you going to invite me in, Your Highness?"
