Chapter 11 Orpheus's Special Request
Luo Xiao quickly tidied her clothes and walked lightly out of the bathroom.
Inside the room, Navia sat on the bed in a casual yet elegant posture, one leg casually crossed over the other.
Upon seeing Luo Xiao appear, a hint of joy flashed in Navia's eyes. She quickly stood up, walked lightly forward, and her eyes were filled with concern and worry.
Her hand gently touched Luo Xiao's arm, as if to confirm his safety.
"Luo Xiao, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"
Navia's voice revealed deep concern, and her eyes were fixed on Luo Xiao, as if searching for any possible injuries or discomfort.
Luo Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. He realized that the reason why Navia cared about him so much was because of the accident two and a half months ago.
At that time, in order to protect Navia, he blocked the bottle containing the mysterious liquid, and his body suffered serious injuries.
From then on, Navia took meticulous care of him.
"It's alright, Navia, I just went to Fontainebleau to take care of some things," Luo Xiao comforted Navia, his voice revealing a sense of ease and confidence.
Then, Luo Xiao leaned close to Navia with a mysterious look on his face. His lips gently touched her ear, and he whispered, "Also, the lottery ticket I secretly bought earlier actually won. Once the prize money is paid out, our Thorn Rose Society won't be short of funds."
"Then you can eat as many snacks as you want, go wherever you want, and never have to worry about the funds to keep the Rose Society running again."
Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Navia's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of worry flickered in her blue eyes.
“Luo Xiao…you wouldn’t be…” Navia’s voice was low and full of worry, her eyes revealing her deep concern for Luo Xiao.
Suddenly, Navia's movements became swift and gentle. She opened her arms and gently embraced Luo Xiao.
Her embrace was full of warmth and care, as if she wanted to hold all of Luo Xiao's pain and worries tightly in her arms.
Navia gently pressed her head against Luo Xiao's head, her voice soft yet choked with emotion: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have rashly chased after those men in black two months ago, otherwise you wouldn't have been so badly injured."
"Look at me, my brain is starting to malfunction, I'm starting to hallucinate, sob sob..." Navia's voice was filled with self-blame and regret, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
"But don't worry, Luo Xiao, as long as I, Navia, have food to eat, you won't be short of food. Follow me, and you'll eat nine meals in three days!"
Navia's voice revealed a firmness and determination, and her eyes sparkled with a commitment and expectation for the future.
However, Luo Xiao did not respond for a long time, only the sound of struggling gradually came from beside her ear: "Ugh... ugh..."
Navia then realized that, driven by her emotions, she might have hugged Luo Xiao too tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
A hint of embarrassment and apology appeared on her face. She quickly released her arms and freed Luo Xiao from her embrace.
Luo Xiao, having freed herself from Navia's facial cleanser, took a deep breath and savored the pure pleasure she had just experienced.
"Navia, thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine, you don't need to worry too much." Luo Xiao licked his lips, his voice conveying a sense of ease and comfort, his eyes filled with gratitude and warmth.
A hint of relief flashed in Navia's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
At this moment, Navia felt a warmth in her heart. Even though Luo Xiao was sick and even had a problem with his mind, he was still trying his best to get Mora for her, buy ingredients for making desserts, take her to play everywhere, and maintain the operation of the Rose Society. This care filled Navia's heart with emotion.
If it weren't for the busy affairs of the Rose Society, Navia would have really wanted to marry Luo Xiao on the spot and repay him with her body.
Seeing that Navia was still somewhat skeptical, Luo Xiao stopped bringing it up.
He knew that the payment from Steambird Newspaper would arrive in a few days, and when he received it and presented it to Navia, she would naturally believe him.
Just as Navia was about to say something, the old butler Myles' voice suddenly came from outside: "Miss, Miss Ove, the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper, wants to see you. She says she has something important to discuss. Do you have time now?"
Upon hearing Miles's voice, Navia swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She turned around and checked again to make sure Luo Xiao was alright before shouting loudly towards the outside, "Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a bit. Tell her to wait in the Rosewood Club's reception room."
"Okay, Miss."
After Miles's footsteps faded into the distance, Luo Xiao said softly to Navia, "Let's go, I'll go with you to take a look."
Navia nodded slightly, then walked side by side with Luo Xiao towards the reception room of the Thorn Rose Society.
A building resembling a sailboat gradually came into view; this was the headquarters of the Rose Society, and the reception room was located inside this unique building.
“Young Miss, Miss Ou Fu is already waiting inside. She seems to have something important to entrust to us.” A servant dressed in a black suit, wearing a top hat and sunglasses, stepped forward and bowed to Navia.
Navia nodded gently, her voice calm and firm: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Silver. Come in with me."
Afterwards, Navia led Luo Xiao and Silver into the sailboat-shaped building and into an exquisitely decorated enclosed room.
"Miss Ou Fu, hello. I am Navia, the current president of the Rose Society." Navia introduced herself elegantly, her voice exuding an unquestionable authority.
“Miss Navia, hello. I’m Ou Fu, the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper.” Ou Fu responded, her gaze shifting to Luo Xiao standing behind Navia, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: “And this is…”
"Oh, this is my closest partner, Luo Xiao."
"He's our top detective at the Rose Society, and he's helped us handle a lot of tricky situations," Navia said, her voice filled with pride and trust.
"So you're a detective! Perfect timing. The task I'm looking to entrust to you this time might require the help of Detective Luo Xiao." Ou Fu's eyes sparkled with anticipation and hope, and her voice carried a hint of urgency.
"Oh? What kind of request? Tell me about it," Navia asked curiously, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Here's the thing, we'd like to entrust your Rose Society to help our Steambird Newspaper find an author with the pen name 'Xiao Xiao'..." Ou Fu's voice carried a hint of urgency.
