I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

She seemed to be reminiscing about the carefree days, and then she spoke softly:

"One time, I overheard my parents' whispered conversation and learned that Mr. Richard...that is, you, are my destined one."

"Since then, I have never dared to play with other boys again."

With a smile on her lips, Lianna shook the red wine glass in her hand, put it down gently, and glanced at Gu Qinghan.

"Is it because you feel shy?" Gu Qinghan asked with a smile, his expression natural.

"Do not."

Lianna shook her head slightly, then said softly:

"I will leave all my fantasies about the opposite sex to Mr. Richard."

“This is my attitude towards relationships.”

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, then he put on an elegant posture, stood up and bowed.

"It is my honor to meet Miss Lianna."

His tone was steady and powerful, and his every move seemed as if he was really Lianna's fiancé.

Lianna smiled and nodded.

"It's my pleasure too, Mr. Richard."

As she spoke, Lianna took another sip of red wine, her cheeks flushed an alluring pink.

The air in the room was a little humid, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of a young girl.

The delicate and smooth shoulders are white with a hint of pink, adding a hint of excitement to the air.

Gu Qinghan also filled his glass with red wine and continued to wait for Lianna's story.

"Later, I developed a habit of staring at the scenery outside the window alone."

Suddenly, Lianna chuckled again and said:

"I like to look at those beautiful views and imagine what Mr. Richard would look like when he came and stood there waving to me."

“Walking along the street, seeing the beautiful ornaments on display, I would imagine Mr. Richard putting them on me. That would be so happy.”

She stared at the wine glass with infatuated eyes, and the faint smile at the corner of her eyes was full of tenderness.

"In this country, keeping fantasies about love is encouraged."

"The other kids gradually realized that I had grown up early and stopped playing with me."

"And I have lived until now, embracing my love for Mr. Richard."

Lianna took a sip of wine, her ears turned red, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

"Do you feel lonely?" Gu Qinghan asked with a smile.

"how come?"

Liana smiled lightly, stared into Gu Qinghan's eyes, and continued seriously:

"Although I have never met Mr. Richard, just fantasizing about you is enough to keep me going for a long time."

"As long as you are here, I can overcome any difficulties. This feeling has been with me since I was a child, until... a few days ago."

Having said that, Lianna paused and slowly lowered her head.

The atmosphere, which was warm just now, suddenly became heavy.

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, looking at Lianna's complex and struggling eyes, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

A few days ago, something happened.

Hohenheim appeared.

This gifted hypnotist extended his claws to Lianna.

"Mr. Richard, I met a strange gentleman. I couldn't understand him."

After a long time, Lianna finally spoke softly, her eyes red.

Gu Qinghan's expression froze, but he quickly recovered and forced a smile.

"If Miss Lianna doesn't mind, you are welcome to tell me your true feelings."

"As your fiancé, I will tell you everything I know."

He smiled calmly and pretended nothing had happened.

Lianna is now drunk, and he must be the strength to support her inner self.

"I...can't tell you his name, but I do have some doubts and I want to ask you for advice."

Taking a deep breath, Lianna continued to speak:

"Mr. Richard, do you think there is any feeling other than love between men and women?"

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, then he sighed lightly.

This classic fatal question exists in every world.

After a brief contemplation, Gu Qinghan said:

"If it were in the kingdom of pure love, I would say there would be no emotions other than love."

"Why?" Lianna blinked, full of confusion.

"In our country, men and women cannot be alone in the same room before marriage, and cannot do anything that crosses the line."

"All restrictions on intimacy are intended to prevent certain emotions from happening prematurely."

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly and continued:

"Only love deserves to be taken so seriously, doesn't it?"

Lianna was startled at first, then her eyebrows dropped and she nodded slightly.

"You are right, but... this does not answer my question."

"When I was in trouble, that person would help me out without asking for anything in return; when I needed help, he would do his best without any distractions."

As she spoke, Lianna seemed to be lost in memories, her eyes gradually turned red.

"That kind of emotion does exist, but it is much more complicated than love. I don't understand it."

Gu Qinghan looked at Lianna's expression at this moment and couldn't help but smile indifferently.

"I think his feelings for you are not love, Miss Lianna can rest assured about that."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Lianna's head. Her soft long hair felt very comfortable to the touch.

His eyes also softened.

"I know."

Liana nodded slightly, her eyes still red, and continued to repeat:

“I can vaguely feel it.”

Then, Liana suddenly raised her head, stared at Gu Qinghan's pupils with a serious look, and said with a slightly painful expression:

"But my heart also showed some emotions."

"Mr. Richard, what do you think is wrong with me?"

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but freeze.

Lianna clenched her fingers, her knuckles turned pale from excessive force, and her eyes flickered.

"I'm obviously resisting, my heart is with someone, but I can't help but think of his bright smile."

"Am I sick?"

Lianna raised her head, with a fragile and soft light flashing in her eyes, the look of a heartbroken girl.

Gu Qinghan stood there in a daze.

At this moment, he finally understood how heinous Hohenheim's crime was.

"All those who were hypnotized volunteered."

This is the most advanced method of hypnosis.

(Added) Chapter 23: Just Treat It as a Dream

After three rounds of drinks, the two people's cheeks were rosy from the alcohol.

The mood of both of them became gloomy.

"Perhaps Miss Lianna needs to travel once in a while to relax."

Suddenly, Gu Qinghan spoke.

Lianna was startled, with a gleam in her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"In the Kingdom of Pure Love, there is only love between men and women, but..."

After a pause, Gu Qinghan continued with a smile: "In other countries, it may be different."

“When Miss Lianna experiences different emotions, maybe she will be relieved.”

Lianna was startled at first when she heard this, but then she couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Richard has a very novel perspective on things."

After a pause, Lianna tilted her head back and drank a glass of red wine, becoming even more drunk.

"But, which country is better to go to?" Liana shook her body and asked doubtfully:

"There are no restrictions on relationships between men and women, but most relationships are not romantic. Does such a country really exist?"

She snuggled up to Gu Qinghan's chest, stretched out a finger, and gently drew circles on the surface of his chest.

"existing."

Gu Qinghan nodded slightly. His drunkenness made him completely unaware of Lianna's actions.

"Oh?" Lianna opened her eyes wide and became alert.

"which country?"

"Empire of Joy."

Gu Qinghan took over the conversation with a faint smile.

Lianna was startled at first, then the corners of her lips slightly raised. The two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The Empire of Pleasure, this is the name of an unspeakable sin in the Kingdom of Pure Love.

Just saying these four words represents evil in itself.

However, Gu Qinghan still said it.

Liana gently touched the ends of his hair, leaned over to his ear, and opened her red lips slightly:

"This secret is only remembered by the two of us today, okay?"

The gentle voice, like the pleasant sound of a piano, touches the heartstrings.

"Of course." Gu Qinghan said casually, not realizing that the topic was inappropriate.

Lianna put her arms around Gu Qinghan's back and hugged him gently, her face flushed.

I don’t know if it is the wine that makes people drunk, or if it is the wine that makes people drunk but people themselves.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

On the table, the leftovers had gradually grown cold, and the prepared red wine had been almost finished.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Richard."

Whispering silently, the girl murmured softly with a smile:

"I feel much better now."
