Legends of Runeterra

When Li En sorted out all the affairs of Hefeng Industry, a week had passed.

Of course, it wasn't all about handling work. Li En also went to the upper city and personally visited Jiraman's home, Werner's audio store, and a workshop called Liwek's Workshop, which is actually now under the charge of Orianna.

On the one hand, it is a chance to reminisce with some elders whom I haven’t seen for a long time and give them some specially prepared gifts.

On the other hand, he also took this opportunity to be alone with the three girls and express their longing for each other.

“Swish~!”

The delicate little feet, jumping with arcs of electricity, fell down and landed heavily on the solid and broad back.

"Crack~!"

The recoil force made Zeli suddenly feel like she was stepping on a slightly elastic piece of jade.

Gritting her teeth secretly, Zeli stood on the balls of her feet, pressed down hard as if she was stepping on a bug, and crushed it left and right.

“Huff, inhale! Huff, inhale!”

The long and peaceful breathing sound echoed in this quiet treatment room.

With a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, Ze Li turned to look at the luxurious floor clock leaning against the wall.

'It's time!'

Ze Li's face lit up with joy and she immediately looked down at Li En.

I saw the other person lying on a specially made soft cushion, revealing his profile as he slept peacefully.

The small feet wrapped in gray silk moved silently and stopped just above Li En's profile.

"Hmph~!"

After staring at Li En for a while, Ze Li snorted softly, moved her little feet and jumped nimbly to the ground to the side.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on Li En's shoulder.

"Boss, it's time to get up!"

"Um... Haah~! What time is it, Zelie?"

"It's already 18:26. Aren't you going to Piltover to attend Medarda's dinner tonight?"

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work, now you can go home."

Li En got up from the soft bed and walked towards the shower room.

"By the way, Zeli, what are you doing?"

"Ah? No, I didn't do anything, boss!"

"Okay, the houses to be allocated have been selected according to your needs. The document is on my desk, the one with a blue cover. You can take it back and discuss it with your family."

"Okay...Okay, thank you, boss!"

"Ah."

When Li En walked into the shower room, Ze Li just closed the door of the treatment room.

“Crack~!”

"Hoo~!"

Leaning her back against the door, Zeli breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily I reacted quickly enough so Li En didn't notice me making faces behind his back."

Secretly rejoicing in her heart, Ze Li looked up at the desk, and looking at the blue file that was specially placed on the top, a faint sense of guilt surged in her heart again.

"No, no, Zeli, you can't be fooled by these things!"

Dispelling the images of the perfect man in her mind, Zeli picked up the documents and trotted out of the office.

...

Midalda Manor, Upper Town of Piltover.

Previously, due to the failure of Noxus' strategy in Ionia, many ambitious families tried to challenge Medarda's position.

But soon, Midalda, who had occupied the Twin Cities for more than a hundred years, not only showed the cunning of Piltover merchants, but also revealed the ruthlessness of Noxus.

All the families that tried to take action had their tentacles cut off.

And with the establishment of the Trifarion Council of Noxus, the ambitious people in Piltover quickly calmed down.

In a luxurious room that blends the styles of Noxus and Piltover, Jayce, wearing a gorgeous yet elegant dress and a young and handsome face, looks like an upper-class man, standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Through the glass, Jace could see from afar that luxurious carriages with various emblems were driving into the manor in an orderly manner.

“Crack~!”

“Da~da~da~!”

Along with the sound of the door opening, the crisp sound of high heels hitting the marble floor echoed in the empty room.

However, Jace still stood in front of the window blankly, without any movement to turn around.

A dark brown hand gently rested on Jace's shoulder, and caring words rang out.

"What's wrong Jace, are you still worried about that?"

"Uh...Ms. Meier...I..."

Jayce was speechless for a moment as he looked at the woman in front of him who was about the same age as him but had already stood at the top of Piltover.

Mel stared into Jace's eyes and raised a hand to gently stroke his brow.

“I know you always feel a little guilty, but didn’t you work diligently during your time at Hefeng Industries?

It is only natural for employers and employees to end their relationship naturally when they meet a more suitable option.

Besides, only in Piltover can your talents be better utilized, and with the cooperation of everyone in the Academy of Sciences, your research can be released more quickly.

By then, whether it's Piltover or Zaun, everyone's life will be better, right?"

As Mel caressed and persuaded him, Jace's frown slowly relaxed.

"Phew~! Thank you...thank you Ms. Mel!"

"Haha~! You're welcome."

Looking at the gentle and admiring look on Mel's face so close to him, Jace suddenly felt an impulse in his heart. He clenched his fists, and then quietly released them.

The huge gap in status forced Jace to suppress this impulse even at his age.

But the next moment, Mel took a step forward.

...

"Okay Jace, the party is about to start, I have to go get ready."

"Okay... okay Ms. Mel..."

A dark brown finger tapped lightly on his lips, and Mel looked directly at Jace.

"Call me Mel."

"Mel...Mel..."

"Haha~! Then I'll go first."

"Ok."

After giving Jace a gentle hug, Mel turned and left.

“Crack~!”

The door closed and the smile on Mel's face slowly disappeared.

As for Hefeng Industry, Midalda and a group of families have already paid the highest attention.

When receiving the news from Ionia, like other families, Midalda's first reaction was that the opportunity had come.

Therefore, after a round of screening, Jace, who was born in the upper city and was frustrated, became Midalda's target.

In order to ensure success, after investigating Jace's background, Midalda chose Mel to contact the other party.

Things turned out just as Midalda had expected. The young and high-ranking Mel only showed a little trust and admiration for Jace, and easily pulled Jace to Midalda's side.

However, before they could be happy, news about Leon Reyes reached Piltover again. Swain, the head of the Trifarii Council, thought highly of Leon Reyes.

Medarda regretted his decision, but what he had done could not be changed.

While writing a letter to apologize to the Reyes family, he also sent Mel to admit his mistake to Li En in person, and finally gained the other party's forgiveness.

Now, with no idea how much it will cost, and in order to recover the losses as much as possible, at the suggestion of his family, Mel can no longer be as evasive as before, but must join the game personally.

"He is naive, impulsive, and has a strong sense of self-esteem, but if his research is truly realized, these are all advantages, right..."

Mel muttered to himself, then put on an elegant aristocratic smile and walked towards the venue.
