Luo Yu's eyelids twitched as he opened his wide eyes.
The incredibly beautiful face of the young girl was just an inch away, with long eyelashes and a delicate nose, exuding a silent grace.
He had not expected, really had not expected this girl to have such guts.
Thinking of retreating, he found that the girl held on tightly, but he could tell that she was also very nervous as her delicate body trembled.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes quivering.
At this point, could Luo Yu really turn Jia Lan down with a body slam? Of course, he chose to go along with it.
Their lips parted—
Jia Lan, with her arms around Luo Yu's neck, said, "Luo Gongzi, I like you, but before I confess, I wanted to do this first."
"Because..."
"Because what?" Luo Yu noticed that from the roots of Jia Lan's ears down to her neck, everything had turned bashfully red, her slender waist also trembling nervously.
"Because even if you reject me, I won't have lost anything," Jia Lan said with a sweet smile, blooming like a beautiful flower suddenly bursting into life.
That moment of youthful, sweet smile somewhat stunned Luo Yu.
"I..." Luo Yu was about to speak when Jia Lan placed a finger on his lips and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Luo Gongzi surely isn't about to say he's fickle and doesn't want to hurt me in the future, right?"
"Hey—"
"Jia Lan isn't a child anymore, I can tell right from wrong. I like you, want to be with you, and as for other women, they don't concern me," she said.
Once Luo Yu could speak, he did so with a bizarre look in his eyes, "You weren't eavesdropping outside this whole time, were you?"
Jia Lan's beautiful eyes displayed a hint of playfulness, "Who spends that long in the restroom? Besides, I didn't have the heart to interrupt Sister Lan's confession, of course, I had to let her finish."
"You definitely did it on purpose; otherwise, how could you walk without making a sound?" Luo Yu pointed out.
In fact, Jia Lan had taken off her high heels and walked back barefoot, and because she wore stockings, she made hardly any noise at all.
Luo Yu said, "Then what if, just possibly, your Sister Lan didn't really go to the restroom and is actually outside eavesdropping right now?"
Jia Lan's body quivered, "No... she wouldn't, would she?"
She was also uncertain, "Brother Yu, don't scare me, I'll die of embarrassment."
"No, no, I'm just guessing," Luo Yu said with a smile.
Jia Lan finally let out a sigh of relief, her hand gently patting her chest.
Luo Yu chuckled inwardly.
Qin Lan was indeed eavesdropping right outside the door, and he was keenly aware of it.
"Luo Gongzi, you haven't answered my confession yet," Jia Lan cooed as she wrapped her arms around Luo Yu's neck.
Could Luo Yu agree at such a time? Of course not.
If he agreed now, Qin Lan eavesdropping outside would likely cover her face, cry, and run away, never to return.
What should a normal man do in such a situation?
Giving up either one would be a heartache.
He gave the same answer as Qin Lan, "Why don't we... think about it some more? I'm too greedy, always thinking of having the best of both worlds."
"Luo Gongzi, you have the right to be greedy," Jia Lan said, "Many powerful martial artists have numerous partners; the offspring of powerful warriors tend to have stronger talents and genes, which is more beneficial to the development of Great Xia and humanity."
"Your talent is considered the best in Great Xia, the more offspring you have, the more beneficial it would be for Great Xia."
"If Great Xia had three thousand little Luo Yus, not to mention just ferocious beasts, the whole universe might be within reach."
"Hey, Luo Gongzi, why are you hitting me?!"
Luo Yu glared, "A smack is what you deserve; the more you talk, the more outrageous you get. Three thousand? Do you think my future girlfriend is a sow? That fertile?"
"Dada—"
Footsteps of high heels came from outside, and Jia Lan, like a startled deer, moved off from Luo Yu's lap and quickly straightened her skirt.
She pursed her red lips.
After Qin Lan entered the room, she sneered, "Lulu, you're not being honest, are you? Just now, you were questioning what I had done. I think it's you who has done something."
Jia Lan shook her head, her hair fluttering.
"Hmph! I was being perfectly honest just now, I did nothing with Luo Gongzi, don't falsely accuse me, okay?"
"Are you sure?" Qin Lan's lips curved up into a smile.
"I'm sure, and most definitely sure!"
Qin Lan approached Luo Yu and lifted her finger to wipe at the man's lips; as Jia Lan's delicate body trembled, she cursed inwardly, realizing she had forgotten about this.
"Come on, explain this to me, how did Luo Gongzi get lipstick marks?"
"Could it be that Luo Gongzi deliberately smeared on lipstick in the time I was away, and moreover, applied it so haphazardly?"
"Is it possible? Maybe it is..." Jia Lan was embarrassingly at a loss, unable to come up with an excuse for herself.
"It seems, this mark, matches the shade of your lipstick, doesn't it?" Qin Lan's cold laughter became harsher.
Jia Lan was speechless, and finally muttered feebly, "Touche!"
"Luo Gongzi, why didn't you resist!" Qin Lan bit her lip, speaking in distress because that person wasn't herself.
Luo Yu touched his nose, feeling guilty, and said, "If I said I tried to resist, but couldn't, would you believe me?"
"I would." Qin Lan nodded. After all, she previously let Luo Yu touch her stockings, and she couldn't resist either.
Thinking about Luo Yu having touched her, and then kissed Jia Lan...
Qin Lan's own delicate face began to heat up as well.
The most dreaded thing is when the room suddenly goes quiet; Luo Yu broke the silence, "It's getting late; time for lunch. I'll go instruct the butler to make something."
Luo Yu stepped out the door.
Qin Lan and Jia Lan, the two inseparable sisters, suddenly began to glower and snort at each other.
"Sister Lan, you're not playing fair! Sneaking off to confess to Luo Gongzi."
"You're even more ruthless, going for a kiss first, ensuring that whether or not you can confess successfully, you won't lose out, right?" said Qin Lan.
"You spied on me?" Jia Lan was shocked.
"You were the one who was unkind first." Qin Lan retorted.
Their friendship, because of Luo Yu, cracked just like that.
Just when the two girls were about to clash again, Luo Yu suddenly walked back in, "We can't have lunch; the butler is nowhere to be found."
The butler was too tactful, feeling it inappropriate to hide in his room; he simply moved out, leaving the space for the young master to enjoy.
"Where is the kitchen? I'll go cook." Jia Lan volunteered.
"Hmm, together, I can too." Qin Lan also wanted to show off her cooking skills.
"Sister Lan, you better not. Remember the last time you almost blew up the kitchen? I was the one who closed the gas valve quickly."
"That's ancient history you're bringing up. Are you deliberately pointing out my flaws?"
Qin Lan and Jia Lan went from "fighting" in the bedroom to the kitchen, and Luo Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
This hurdle was fortunately cleared without incident.
Jia Lan was sure to have him locked down; whether or not Qin Lan could accept him wasn't a big issue.
After all, upon reflection, given the current state of the world with ferocious beasts causing trouble, gods returning, and every top power encouraging the birth of many strong offspring to have more powerhouses, people were not against this kind of relationships.
This indirectly highlighted the present era's respect for the powerful.
"Wow... Luo Gongzi, your kitchen's ingredients are so abundant. There are even many I've never seen before."
"Don't make a fuss over nothing. What kind of family do you think Luo Gongzi comes from?"
"Sister Lan! It's not as if you weren't the one who was shocked when you opened the fridge just now."
Despite their bickering, the dishes the two women prepared were seriously impressive, a feast to the eyes and the palate, featuring five meats and four vegetables, along with other snacks.
Especially with one black silk beauty tying an apron around her waist and her hair up, and the other in a flesh-toned apron with a ponytail, bustling about the kitchen serving up dishes, it was a sight for sore eyes.
"Alright, you can start, Luo Gongzi."
The two women and one man sat down around the dining table; Luo Yu went to the wine cellar to bring up a bottle of red wine from Kennilin Manor that had aged over a hundred years.
"Ding—"
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
"Strange, both the elder and my father have keys, and it can't be the butler either." Luo Yu curiously went to open the door.
"Click!"
The door opened to reveal a resplendently dressed lady in a glimmering golden gown, and a pure young girl in pink gradient stockings with a scorpion-tail braid and black high heels.
"Luo Gongzi, you didn't expect us, mother and daughter, to visit you in person, did you?"
"Surprise or not, did you expect this?"
Luo Yu: "..."
