Seeing her body trembling slightly, his voice softened considerably. \"I can't just abandon you and run away alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina was his former client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he followed the bottom line he had set in the past, then tonight he should have stayed far away, avoiding any entanglement with Adelina, lest she develop inappropriate feelings for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he really did that, would he still be human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use his professional bottom line as an excuse to stay away from Adelina, away from the fight, away from the conflict, and let her face the danger alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn could not bring himself to do such a thing, no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Adelina was facing that danger for his sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What professional bottom line? That was just a coward's excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, you shouldn't have come back. I... I'll make Miss Daiyi jealous...\" Adelina opened her eyes, glanced at Felyn, and then her gaze shifted to the car where Daiyi was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Adelina, you're still in the mood to make such an unfunny joke at a time like this?\" Felyn couldn't fathom why Adelina would say such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving Felyn's reply, Adelina let out a whimper in his arms, the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to bury her head in Felyn's chest, to lean on his shoulder, to enjoy his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she felt restrained, uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid her actions would trouble Felyn, afraid he would tell her to leave in the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the thing she had always wanted appeared before her, she found herself unable to believe it, unable to be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina was afraid this was all just a dream, that if she became too happy, she would wake up and it would all end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, I'm not your client anymore.\" Her voice was muffled against his chest, carrying a slight tremor. \"So you don't have to come and save me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn didn't answer immediately, only tightening his arms around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wind swept between them, scattering the faint rose scent from her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you are Adelina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you are Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn said something he would never have said to a client before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Felyn did not evade Adelina's feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her confession until now, Adelina's actions had repeatedly battered his psychological defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took care of him gently, she would handle all the troubles around him for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past two months, she had constantly comforted him, helping him solve his problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, to take care of him, afraid that he, soaked to the bone, would catch a cold, she had proactively chosen to forgo the final role-playing time before the contract ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, to protect him, she had chosen to go to war with Silafiel's guards and Dorothy's knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, even though he kept rejecting her, even though he had already shown her his true self, Adelina still hadn't given up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this, confirming this, Felyn no longer mentioned the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Felyn had always rejected Adelina's advances, always told Adelina not to like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because Felyn was afraid that what Adelina liked was the perfect version of him from the contract, which would hurt them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, after two months of getting along, Felyn knew those doubts no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To bring up such things at this point would be an evasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enjoy a girl's affection and pursuit on one hand, while using the contract as an excuse to maintain his own \"purity\" on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It was all her initiative, she's the one who likes me, I'm just passively enjoying it, you can't blame me, I did nothing wrong, I'm still a good person.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, that was just too disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn's words made Adelina, in his arms, freeze abruptly. Her heart stopped for an instant, then began to pound violently against her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fabric between her fingers was clutched even tighter, and her grayish-blue eyes began to mist over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina looked up, and after confirming that Felyn was not lying to her again, tears finally broke through her defenses, soaking the collar of Felyn's shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Finally…)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Finally, Felyn is willing to acknowledge my feelings.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Finally, Felyn isn't pushing me away anymore.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn avoided Adelina's scorching gaze. He could feel the girl's body temperature rising rapidly, could feel her heart about to burst from her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he needed to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adelina, although we've graduated tonight, if I can go to school in the royal capital district, you can still... you can still come and see me more often.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina hadn't yet recovered from the surprise. For a moment, she couldn't comprehend Felyn's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's get this straight, the contract is over now. I won't be letting you have your way all the time,\" Felyn interrupted Adelina. \"If you find out I'm not the Felyn you imagined, you can't get angry at me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn's fingertips unintentionally twirled a strand of Adelina's hair as he continued, \"Helping you clean and cook and that sort of thing isn't out of the question, but it'll cost extra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina's response was impossibly cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that although Felyn hadn't agreed to be with her right now, he was no longer using the contract as an excuse to avoid her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally no longer saw her as a client. He was finally willing to slowly get close to her, to slowly get to know her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in the future, in the royal capital district, there would finally be a day when she and Felyn would be together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Felyn subconsciously looked down, he happened to see her blooming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pure smile, with all pretense cast aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a countenance countless times more brilliant than the fireworks in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was... it was Adelina's heart, the girl's ardent feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Adelina finally pressed her entire body against Felyn's. This time, she didn't have to worry that he would push her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, then I'll have to give you special training next...\" She gently nuzzled his neck with the tip of her nose, her moist breath ghosting over his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Special training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to be in the royal capital with you, so you must pass the exam. I will give you special training.\" Her grayish-blue eyes blinked, appearing before Felyn's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you charge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the eldest daughter of the Claude family, the top student at Lanche Academy. Of course, I charge.\" Adelina's finger gently poked Felyn's shoulder as she muttered in a small voice, \"Thirty thousand crowns a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her finger quickly pressed against Felyn's lips, not allowing him to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Adelina's voice grew smaller and smaller, her rose-tea colored bangs falling to cover her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you cover room and board...\" The tips of her ears turned red at a visible rate. \"The... the fee can be waived...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Adelina bit her lower lip tightly, abruptly turning her face away. Even her neck was tinged with a faint pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at such a shy Adelina, a faint smile graced Felyn's lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What's free is the most expensive. It seems Miss Adelina isn't so honest after all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Felyn, have you two forgotten that I'm still here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veronica's words interrupted the conversation between Felyn and Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Felyn and Adelina's relationship grow closer right in front of her, she felt even more worried for Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels like the princess is going to be left far behind by Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, would you please let go of Miss Adelina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","218af4b139e1fe8525e8a0cb45a7cd4ff5193ed13531df61fb54259d42956c12","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-400","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-398",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
