~5 min read 952 words

This entire row consisted of eight cars, all belonging to the Elar family, here specifically to welcome Luo Ge and the others.

Zhu Di wore a stunning crimson gown adorned with wavy patterns, the long dress reaching down to her ankles.

The upper part was wrapped tightly, revealing nothing, yet instead imparting an air of dignity and grandeur.

Her exquisite face was made up with just the right amount of light makeup, elevating her already high beauty even further.

A pair of sparkling diamond earrings hung from her ears, making her entire figure radiant and projecting a strong aura.

Zhu Di smiled lightly and waved at Luo Ge and the others, saying, "Here, over here."

Since the sedan was not large, typically seating four, the four of them—Luo Ge and the others—split into two cars.

Zhu Di and Luo Ge rode in one car, while Bisji and the other three took the other.

Fortunately, their destinations were different anyway.

Zhu Di and Luo Ge were going to attend a meeting, while Bisji was leading Machi and the other two to the Huanpaimai Society auction.

Inside the car,

Zhu Di and Luo Ge sat in the back seat, driven by Zhu Di's assistant—Rose.

Rose was a woman in her twenties with purple hair and a lively personality.

Since before Zhu Di had taken control of the Elar family, Rose had always been her right hand, firmly believing that Zhu Di would succeed.

After Zhu Di's success, Rose's status rose accordingly; she possessed exceptional personal abilities, mastered various skills, and was Zhu Di's top expert.

Unlike many others, Rose knew of the existence of Luo Ge and the others and clearly understood that it was them who had allowed the family to develop to its current state.

Subconsciously, Zhu Di stared at Luo Ge beside her, taking a good look, feeling that in just over a month, Luo Ge had changed quite a bit.

Luo Ge's changes were multifaceted; first, his height had increased significantly compared to before, now equivalent to that of an adult.

His previously slightly immature face had shed its last trace of childishness, becoming resolute, with more three-dimensional features.

At the same time, the feeling Luo Ge gave her had also changed.

The current Luo Ge was like a sharp blade, revealing a piercing sharpness, with a powerful aura that could not be hidden.

She wasn't quite sure how to explain these things, but she could see that Luo Ge's strength had increased by a large margin compared to before.

One wonders what kind of arduous training he endured during this period?

Zhu Di was not foolish; she understood clearly that any gain requires sacrifice.

For Luo Ge to improve so much in such a short time, he must have put in unimaginable effort.

Being stared at continuously by Zhu Di, Luo Ge thought to ease the awkwardness and said softly, "How have you been lately? Are you doing well?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di shook her head, pressed her lips together, and whispered, "I am not doing well."

Before Luo Ge could ask, Zhu Di gently leaned against Luo Ge's shoulder and said softly, "Because you were not by my side."

Luo Ge:...

This made it even more awkward.

Fortunately, Machi was not here; otherwise, seeing this, she would surely have exploded in anger, scolding coldly like a cat.

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhu Di's cheeks slowly turned rosy, revealing a blush, wondering what Luo Ge would think?

Rose, who was driving, saw the situation between the two through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but show an auntie smile.

In fact, Zhu Di occasionally asked Rose for advice, since she knew nothing about romance.

Thus, Rose, who had never been in a relationship, taught Zhu Di some "one hundred techniques guaranteed to make you succeed in love."

Those two lines just now were what Rose had taught Zhu Di.

At least for now, Rose felt it was quite useful.

There were eight sedans in total.

According to tradition, people of high status sat in the middlemost car, as this offered a higher degree of safety.

If someone attacked from the front or rear, the front and rear vehicles could protect the middle vehicle.

Therefore, Luo Ge and Zhu Di sat in the fourth car counting from the front, while the fifth car behind was where Bisji and the others were riding.

Bisji, sitting in the front passenger seat, covered her mouth while laughing, though her mouth was stretched almost to her ears.

Gastly: So you are also a Ghost-type Pokémon?

Seeing Bisji holding back her laughter, her face even turning red from suppressing it, the driver in the driver's seat looked utterly bewildered.

He was already thinking about whether he should request to stop the car; the girl beside him... seemed to be motion sick?

The reason Bisji was laughing was that she had overheard the conversation between Luo Ge and the other two, and could even see a bit of their actions.

This completely ignited her gossiping heart.

She knew it; she wasn't just gossiping randomly, but had evidence to back it up.

Thinking of this, Bisji secretly glanced at Machi in the back seat with a slightly sympathetic look.

At that moment, Machi was looking at the scenery outside the window.

Little did she know that her "home" was about to be stolen.

Gazing out the window, Machi's beautiful brows furrowed slightly; although she didn't know why, she had a strange feeling of discomfort.

It felt as if something was about to be snatched away.

Since childhood, her sixth sense had always been extremely accurate; she just couldn't figure out what it was about.
