A place at the table

  It was the first time she had seen Third Master since her engagement to him and Second Miss. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but be shocked for a moment.

  "You... it's very late, I should go back." Lan Ya hesitated for a while and couldn't find the right words to respond, after all, she wasn't Mu Qingyan.

  "Alright." Ba Li Lian Cheng stood up and turned his eyes towards Chen Xiang: "Take good care of your young mistress."

  Chen Xiang was startled and hastily nodded, taking a few steps forward and pushing Lan Ya towards the Mu residence.

  He gazed at the Hundred Miles Connected City for a long time, until that figure disappeared from his sight, before he withdrew his gaze, and his gentle eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Your Highness." A figure stood respectfully behind him.

  "She is indeed a beauty beyond compare." Baili Liancheng turned around, his warm and gentle face no longer existed, replaced by an icy indifference.

  "Miss Mu Er went missing a month ago, and now this woman suddenly appears out of nowhere, coincidentally on the Crazy King's flower boat. On that day, the Crazy King was attacked by assassins, and many people thought Miss Mu Er was killed by internal force. After investigating all the people by the lake that day, I can confirm that this woman is indeed a sudden arrival from the sky, and may not be the real Mu Qingyan."

  "Not as good as Mu Qingyan." Bai Liancheng's lips curled up in a faint smile, she was more interesting than Mu Qingyan, and more attractive.

  "Your Highness, may I have..."

  "No need, I'll take care of this matter myself." Baili Liancheng's eyes narrowed: "How did the White Prime Minister's estate handle it?"

  "Miss Bai's four limbs were all crippled, leaving her with just one life."

  Upon hearing this, Baili Liancheng nodded in satisfaction. His cold face seemed to have a layer of thin gauze under the moonlight, and when he thought of that woman, his cold face revealed a hint of admiration.

  Perhaps she is the only one who can match him in this world. In his world, women are like playthings, but this woman is different.

  Her whole body radiates a brilliant light, her stunning beauty is irresistible to anyone, her extraordinary medical skills, her exquisite chess skills, and that magnificent piano sound, which woman in the world can be mentioned in the same breath as her.

  Lan Ya, perhaps this is her real name!

  "Chee chee." Qī Bǎo jumped onto Baili Liancheng's shoulder, his paws rummaging through his hair, as if in protest.

  "With her, I will spoil you just the same." Ba Li Lian Cheng stretched out his hand to grab Qi Bao and put him into his arms.

  "No way, no way." Qī Bǎo Deng was indignant, his paws raised in protest, not intimidated at all by Baili Liancheng's indifferent expression.

  Baili Liancheng locked his unscrupulous legs and lowered his head, saying: "You don't like her very much, do you?"

  Qī Bǎo pouted her mouth, unable to move, and rolled her eyes with a huff, as if saying that if you liked her, she wouldn't like her either.

  "She might spoil you too."

  Qī Bǎo let out a low hum, turning to one side, no, the master is his, is his!

  "Stop throwing a tantrum, or I'll toss you into the bitter desert." Baili Liancheng's body became very light...

  It was just such a soft voice that made Qi Bao's small body tremble, and he swallowed hard, honestly huddling motionless. That desolate place was simply a purgatory on earth... He didn't want to go!

  Crazy King's Mansion

  A magnificent mansion, decorated with a domineering air rather than elegance. A handsome young man reclines lazily on the soft couch, his eyes half-closed as if sleeping but not quite asleep.

  Half a sound, a figure in black fell silently into the room.

  "Is it taken care of?" The handsome man slowly opened his mouth as soon as the man fell into the room.
