After Chu Luo instructed the servants where to place the potted plants, there were still two pots left. She walked to Li Yan’s side and said to him, “There are two more pots that need to be placed in your bedroom.”

After saying that, she waved her hand and gestured for the two people who were still carrying the potted plants to come over. “Take these two pots to the bedroom.”

The two servants were so frightened that their expressions changed. They quickly lowered their heads and stood there, not daring to move.

Li Yan glanced at the two of them and said, “Place them on the ground. All of you, get out.”

“Yes.”

Everyone quickly left.

Li Yan walked over to pick up the two potted plants. “Where do you want to put them?”

Chu Luo glanced at him and walked towards his bedroom.

Li Yan walked behind her with the potted plants.

When she reached his bedroom, she pointed at two spots. “Place them on both sides of the window sill.”

Li Yan walked over.

Chu Luo followed behind him. After he put down the two potted plants, she took out two beads from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and buried them in the soil.

As she buried them, she said, “These potted plants don’t need to be specially tended. As long as the array I set up hasn’t been broken by anyone, they will live well.”

“Mm.”

After Chu Luo buried the beads, she saw that her fingers were covered with dirt and raised her hands in front of Li Yan. “Where’s the bathroom? I want to wash my hands.”

Li Yan looked at her slender and pink fingers and at the mud on them for a few seconds. He didn’t answer her and turned to walk away.

“Hey…”

Li Yan stopped and tilted his head to look at her. “Didn’t you want to wash your hands? Follow.”

Chu Luo looked at his back and muttered, “It’s only this short of a distance. Can’t you just say it?”

Despite saying that, she still followed him.

Li Yan opened the bathroom door.

Chu Luo walked in, but she couldn’t find anywhere she could wash her hands.

“Inside.”

“…”

Why was the bathroom so big?

Chu Luo had been inside for a while before finding the sink.

When she came out of the bathroom, Li Yan was no longer in the bedroom.

Chu Luo walked out and didn’t see anyone in the small living room outside.

She could only walk out of the door.

She walked along the corridor and reached the staircase before seeing Li Yan standing there. In front of him stood a middle-aged foreign man with a respectful expression and slightly lowered head. Li Yan must have said something to him just now. The middle-aged man replied, “Okay, Master.”

With that, he left.

Chu Luo looked at the time. It was almost half-past eleven.

Just then, Tang Zhiyun called her.

She swiped her phone and said, “Hello.”

Tang Zhiyun asked worriedly, “Junior, why aren’t you back yet?”

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who was standing downstairs. Thinking about how she had agreed to be his female companion tonight, she said, “I’m borrowing money.”

“Where are you borrowing it from?” Tang Zhiyun asked hurriedly. “Junior, do you have friends here?”

Chu Luo: “Yeah, I met an acquaintance.”

Tang Zhiyun let out a sigh of relief. “Alright, don’t be late.”

Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo walked downstairs.

The middle-aged man who had gone out just now happened to walk in with a group of servants carrying lunch.

Li Yan glanced at her and walked towards the dining room first.

Chu Luo followed.

This villa was built in the American style, and besides being luxurious, the decorations downstairs weren’t too cold.

However, the tables here were very long and luxurious. After Li Yan sat down, Chu Luo looked at the entire table and walked to his side to sit.

“Young…”

The middle-aged man was shocked and was about to correct her when he quickly swallowed his words under a cold gaze.

There was a lingering fear in his heart.

After the main course was served, Chu Luo realized that it was steak.

Recalling the steak Wei Xueying had eaten last time, Chu Luo lost her appetite.

Chu Luo, who never intended to force herself, asked directly, “Why is lunch steak?”

Li Yan, who was about to take his fork and knife, looked at her. “Don’t like it?”

“No. It’s not even cooked.”

The middle-aged man was about to say that this was a medium-well steak when he was glared at again.

Li Yan gestured at the middle-aged man. “Replace all the steak.”

The middle-aged man’s body trembled and he quickly gestured to the servant who hadn’t gone out. “Replace the steak with imperial cuisine.”

The servant put away the plates in front of them and walked out of the door.

“Eh? You don’t eat steak either?”

“Mm.”

Imperial cuisine was served very quickly. As the middle-aged man left with the group of servants, he thought with a cold sweat, ‘Who exactly is this young lady? To think she received such a different treatment from Master.’

He planned to call the empire and ask Butler Beitang about it. Otherwise, he was afraid that he might do something wrong.

After the meal, Li Yan said to her, “We leave at five in the afternoon. I have a game room here. You can go play games.”

Chu Luo definitely had no objections.

The gaming room at Li Yan’s place was well-equipped and advanced. When Chu Luo entered, the first thing she saw was the simulation chamber she had seen at the Imperial University Science and Technology building.

“You have a simulation chamber here?!”

Chu Luo quickly walked over and curiously looked around the simulation chamber. After she was done, she turned to look at Li Yan.

“Is this simulation chamber the same as the one at Imperial University?”

“Mm.”

“Why do you have it? I thought it wasn’t ready yet?”

Li Yan said, “I came here to test its data.”

“Eh? You’re a debugger too?”

“Sort of.”

Chu Luo looked at him with sparkling eyes. “Are you familiar with this area, then?”

“Mm.”

“I want to see all the data in this gaming capsule. May I?”

After saying that, she blinked at him expectantly.

Li Yan’s gaze deepened. “Sure.”

After saying that, he walked over to the control panel and pressed the start button. Then, all the data was displayed above the simulator in the form of 5G.

For the next few hours, the two of them talked and watched. While Li Yan would occasionally point at a piece of data and explain it to her, she’d be too agitated and would grab his finger to stop him from swiping it so quickly.

At this moment, Li Yan had unconsciously retracted all his coldness and ruthlessness.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that it was warm.

Chu Luo, who was immersed in learning and digesting this knowledge, didn’t realize it.

It wasn’t until 4:30 in the afternoon when a knock sounded on the game room door that Li Yan stopped and said to Chu Luo, “You should go wash up and change into your gown.”

“Huh?” Chu Luo blinked and looked at him. Then, she remembered that she had agreed to be his female companion. She looked at the data on the simulation chamber reluctantly and nodded at him.

Li Yan closed the simulator and the two of them walked towards the door.

Chu Luo had yet to finish reading the data in the simulation chamber, and she felt as if a cat was tickling her heart. She asked, “Can I still come over to look at the data in the simulation chamber in the future?”

Li Yan looked at her expectant gaze and moved his fingers by his side. His expression was cold. “It depends on my mood.”

“Huh?” Chu Luo was stunned for a moment. She probed, “You mean, I can only come if you’re in a good mood?”

Li Yan gave her a “Bingo, you’re right” look.

“…” Chu Luo retracted her gaze from his face and muttered with a frown, “Who knows when you’ll be in a good mood? If you keep being in a bad mood all the time, then wouldn’t I have to wait for nothing?”

At this point, she concluded, “You are indeed a big baddie!”

Li Yan looked at the little thing mumbling as she walked and his lips curled into a faint smile.

Opening the door, she saw a middle-aged man standing outside.

The middle-aged man respectfully said to Li Yan, “Master, Miss Chu’s gown has been sent over. The makeup artist and stylist are waiting there.”

The three of them walked into the living room.

At this moment, there were a few people standing in the living room.

The three of them walked over. The people there quickly greeted respectfully and with trepidation, “Master Li.”

The middle-aged man standing at the side said, “Master, Miss Chu, they’re the makeup artist and the stylist team.”

“Take her to her room.”

“Yes.”

“Miss Chu, please come with me.”

The middle-aged man led Chu Luo into one of the rooms downstairs. The others quickly followed.

When she arrived at one of the rooms, a dressing table had already been prepared. The middle-aged man first introduced himself to Chu Luo. “Miss Chu, I’m Master’s butler in this villa, Abel. Miss Chu, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to let me know.”

Abel thought about what the other butler had told him, and his heart was still beating a little fast.

Chu Luo glanced at Abel and casually nodded. She asked the others, “What do I need to do now?”

“Miss Chu, go change into your gown first.”

One of them quickly handed her the gown box.

Chu Luo took the box and followed Abel’s guidance to the small room in this suite.

The dress box was huge. When Chu Luo opened it, she realized that there was not only a dress inside, but also shoes and jewelry.

She took out the dress and shook it open. It was a light purple dress. The design of the dress was simple and elegant. Other than Chu Luo’s good-looking calves, it didn’t reveal anything else.

Even so, Chu Luo still found it unacceptable. “Why do the people here like to wear dresses so short? They won’t even dare to lift their legs in a fight!”

Although she wasn’t very satisfied, she wouldn’t go back on her words regarding what she had agreed to. She put on the dress.

She then took out the matching pair of high heels.

However, after seeing the thin and tall heels, she decided, “I’ll put these on right before going into the banquet hall.”

After saying that, she put them aside and took out the set of jewelry.

There were hair accessories, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Chu Luo didn’t put on the jewelry but walked out with the set.

The group of people waiting outside the door was stunned to see her come out.

Chu Luo was originally white-skinned and thin. Even though she had grown a lot of flesh in the past few months, she had mostly grown where she should grow. Wearing this dress, coupled with her disposition, she appeared noble and confident. She gave people the impression that she was a queen.

They suddenly had the urge to bow to her.

Chu Luo glanced at them, walked over, and sat down. She said indifferently, “The banquet will be held at 5:30. If you guys just continue standing there, Li Yan and I won’t bother to go.”

These words were like a stick that immediately knocked those few people awake.

The makeup artist and stylist quickly took action at the same time.

They spent half an hour doing Chu Luo’s makeup and hairstyle.

The stylist didn’t bun up all of Chu Luo’s hair. Instead, she combed her hair into a princess style and put on a hair accessory. She looked like the most venerable princess.

After they were done, Chu Luo left with the pair of high heels in her hands under the bright gaze of the others.
