The night was deep and silent.
In the vast villa, only creaking sounds could be heard.
After a long while, the Queen, supported by her maids, returned to her room to rest.
"Phew... I've done this several times today, I'm actually a bit tired."
Su Yang tidied his disheveled hair and cleaned up the mess, preparing to leave.
Just then, from the corner of the stairs, a dark figure slowly approached.
The person who arrived was none other than Princess Lilliannie.
She was wearing a purple gown and her tiara was neatly arranged.
"Mr. Su, you can't leave yet."
"Oh? Aren't you supposed to be asleep, Princess?"
Lilliannie looked at the rumpled sofa, "I was woken up by some noise over an hour ago, and I have you to thank for that."
Su Yang knew what she was hinting at, but he didn't care. It wasn't like he had asked Her Majesty the Queen to do that.
Lilliannie sat on the side, lazily scrolling through her phone.
"This is quite a show. I never expected Mr. Su to be so fierce, nor did I expect my mother to value you so highly."
"Princess, it's not good for you to be secretly filming. You should delete it quickly!"
Lilliannie smiled without a word, then walked up to Su Yang and reached out.
"You wouldn't want anyone to know about the secret between me and your mother, would you?"
"Damn it..."
Su Yang cursed. The words sounded familiar.
Now that Lilliannie had him in a bind, he had no idea what malicious intentions she had.
"Then what do you want me to do to make you delete the video?"
Lilliannie pointed at the sofa, "Do to me what you did to my mother, and the video will be cleared immediately."
"What if I refuse!?"
"Then I can only keep it and enjoy it from time to time, but I can't guarantee it won't be leaked!"
Su Yang's face darkened. He couldn't understand what Lilliannie was up to.
— Is this woman really Her Majesty the Queen's biological daughter?
— Should I agree to her or not?
Lilliannie urged, "Make your decision quickly. The Mr. Su I know isn't a dithering man."
"Damn it, you said that! Don't blame me if something happens!"
Su Yang was furious and pressed Lilliannie's head down.
"Uh... hiss, don't be so rough. I'm not experienced."
Lilliannie frowned, almost suffocating in that instant.
The large villa was quiet, with only a few oil lamps flickering in the wind.
The fire under the stove crackled, and countless sparks flew.
Su Yang propped his waist with one hand, "Are all people from Great Britain this afraid of the cold? Roasting firewood in the living room?"
"Our winters are much colder than here. We're used to warming ourselves by the fire."
Lilliannie took a deep breath, feeling a little exhausted.
At the same time, a mechanical voice echoed in Su Yang's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully cherishing Lilliannie, gaining ten years of lifespan!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully cherishing Lilliannie, rewarded with the divine ability "Horse Taming Technique"!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden achievement, Lilliannie's satisfaction with you has reached 100%, rewarded with a rare pill (Yin-Yang Pill)!]
During the post-coital calm, Su Yang asked, "System, what does 'Horse Taming Technique' mean?"
[Host, with the "Horse Taming Technique," you can easily tame horses. No matter how wild, you can subdue them!]
"This... I only ride people, not horses. It seems useless..."
Su Yang tossed something aside and helped Lilliannie to sit on the other side.
Lilliannie gritted her teeth, "Mr. Su, how much longer will it take?"
"Almost done, just hold on!"
"This is too terrifying..."
Lilliannie wiped the sweat from her forehead, panting heavily.
...
An hour later.
Su Yang picked up the gift box and left the villa.
Her Majesty the Queen came down the stairs and sat beside her daughter.
"Lily, did you really choose him?"
Lilliannie climbed up from the sofa, feeling weak, tired, and hot all over.
"Mother, didn't you also choose him? Can he help us deal with the Prince?"
Her Majesty the Queen frowned and pondered. She had come to Dragon Country this time to find a strong ally to counter the Prince of Great Britain.
The Prince had already gathered many cabinet ministers and was preparing to re-elect the leader of Great Britain.
Her Majesty the Queen could not see the Supreme Leader of Dragon Country and did not want to cooperate with Shangguan Zhongtang.
Therefore, she came to Songhai to choose a partner, which led her to meet Su Yang.
"Lily, Mother is only doing this to deal with the Prince. Don't get too deeply involved. I heard Su Yang has many women."
Her Majesty the Queen was worried, never expecting her daughter to end up with Su Yang.
Lilliannie shook her head, "He's a good man. I trust my judgment. Even if he has many women, I don't care."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Get some rest early!"
Her Majesty the Queen helped her daughter upstairs to rest.
Su Yang, carrying the gift box, pressed the doorbell of Zhang Suqin's villa.
A few minutes later.
Zhang Suqin, wearing a light yellow long dress, opened the door and invited Su Yang in.
"Little Yang, why are you here so late?"
"Sister Qin, let's have New Year's Eve dinner together the night after tomorrow. Let's have a good family reunion."
Zhang Suqin thought about it. Her relationship with Su Yang was an older woman-younger man romance.
No one else knew about their plan to spend the New Year together.
"In that case, what will your parents think when they know about us?"
Su Yang knew her concerns, "Don't worry, you are my woman. My parents definitely won't say anything!"
"Alright then, I'll definitely be there the night after tomorrow."
Zhang Suqin sniffed and detected the scent of perfume on Su Yang.
There was also a strand of golden hair on his shoulder.
"Little Yang, although you're still young, you should still moderate yourself."
Zhang Suqin reached out and removed the golden hair from Su Yang's shoulder, indicating that he could leave the gift box and go.
Su Yang was unwilling to leave. He pulled Zhang Suqin to sit down and naturally leaned in.
"What are you doing? It's late, go back!"
Zhang Suqin was a little flustered. Su Yang always made things difficult and took a long time.
"Sister Qin, we haven't seen each other for several days. Just fulfill my small request."
"Then hurry up. I have things to do tomorrow."
Su Yang asked curiously, "It's almost New Year. Where are you going, Sister Qin?"
"To pay respects to an old friend. I used to go every year, and I must go this year."
Zhang Suqin's eyes were complex as she lay on the sofa, reminiscing about the past.
Seeing that she was reluctant to talk about it, Su Yang didn't ask further.
The night was deep and silent.
In the entire villa area, only a few villas had their lights on.
"Alright, I'm going home now. Sister Qin, you should get some rest too."
Su Yang clapped his hands, tidied his clothes, and left the villa.
He felt a bit exhausted after this day.
The next morning.
Su Yang, who was fast asleep, was woken by a series of sounds. He picked up his phone and looked.
"Sister Qin, what's wrong?"
"I'm going to pay respects to Chen Xiao. Do you want to come?"
Chen Xiao was Zhang Suqin's ex-husband, a nominal one.
He was attacked and killed on their wedding night.
It was said that Zhang Suqin, Chen Xiao, and Zong Ze were very close.
Su Yang said, "Okay, wait for me for a few minutes."
"Mmm, I'll be downstairs with the things waiting for you."
