Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

For the next period of time, Mo Li officially entered a limited state of eating and drinking. The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with her. Every day, on her way to and from school, there would always be some "minor accidents". Before she could take action, Ye Zixuan, who was hiding in the shadows and actively becoming her bodyguard, would take care of them.

Mo Li knew very well that this was just a warning and not a real danger. She also knew who was behind it and that no investigation would find out, and even if it did, there would be no real consequences.

So far, the royal family and the Beigong family are still on the same side. Regardless of the Emperor's attitude, the marriage alliance they firmly believe in still exists in their eyes.

The Emperor has already cut off their path to creating public opinion, so the best way now is for her to give up on her own and withdraw from the relationship, apart from such external warnings.

Under the guise of "friendship," Bei Gong Xue'er sent her numerous invitations to parties, banquets, auctions, and more. Besides her, Old Madam Bei Gong and Tang Wanrong were also quite "enthusiastic" towards her, and the house was constantly bustling with visitors these days.

There were gifts from the Beigong family and their affiliated families, as well as those who wanted to curry favor, all under the guise of gratitude. But what exactly were they thanking them for? Even Ye Zixuan was so confused by the gifts that he could only scratch his head.

The royal family wasn't as enthusiastic as the Bei Gong family. They sent out every invitation they were supposed to, and the same went for the gifts. The imperial family, who had a close friendship with Bei Gong Xue'er, even condescended to send her many invitations.

In short, lately, at all sorts of banquets, parties, auctions... she had everyone she could get a gift for, and each time the gift was substantial. Her words were incredibly infuriating, always the same one:

"The princess sent this to broaden your horizons and broaden your knowledge. Otherwise, always focusing on other people's things is really petty."

Mo Li simply said one word: "Withdraw."

Do you think I'll let this go unpunished? I'll demand every penny of compensation, and I won't attend a single invitation. My motto will be "You give me yours, I'll take mine," and I'll make sure you never see me. Let's see if you get angry or upset.

finally------

Some people couldn't resist and very politely presented a visiting card. Only families as particular as the Beigong family or the royal family would do such a thing.

Ye Zixuan was almost thrown out; if Dongfang Yu hadn't pulled him back, the post would have hit the sender's back directly.

Mo Li simply replied with one word: "Withdraw."

When Bei Gongxue'er arrived, on the day that Di Dai and their specially chosen companions came to visit, Mo Li smiled and went straight up to greet them in the cold and quiet living room. He invited them to sit down and then turned to instruct Kelly and Fenfen:

"Go and bring up some of the fruit, snacks, and tea that the Beigong family sent," he said, looking at Beigong Xue'er. "Miss Beigong, you shouldn't mind if I offer these as a token of my appreciation, right?"

"Not at all, how could I mind? It seems Mo Li likes it. I'll arrange for someone to send some more over later."

Mo Li turned to look at Ye Zixuan and Guan Yunzhou, who sat on either side of her like guardian angels:

"Look, I told you Miss Beigong is kind-hearted and generous. Our family has saved a lot of interstellar coins."

"Miss Beigong, you're too kind. We can't keep sending you things like this, or you'll spoil our palates and won't be able to eat anything from outside anymore."

Ye Zixuan: "Ah Li, you still say that? I've become quite picky about food."

"Why can't you control your mouth? Learn to watch it, otherwise Miss Beigong won't see you off, how am I supposed to support you?"

Bei Gong Xue'er smiled very politely: "Ah Xuan and I are friends. Since you like them, I will arrange for someone to pick them regularly and send them over."

"How could we possibly accept that? We're not the kind of people who would take advantage of someone else." She glared at Ye Zixuan and said, "You really can't control your cravings. I'll send you to work to make up for it later."

Ye Zixuan immediately said, "I can't afford it. Miss Beigong, please don't send me off, otherwise I really will have endless work to do."

"It's just a small gift, don't take it to heart, and don't bother working. That would be too serious. Besides, if you refuse a gift from a friend, it would be really awkward. Don't you consider me a friend anymore? Mo Li, I really want to be your friend."

Mo Li almost burst out laughing...

Di Dai said angrily, "Mo Li, don't be ungrateful. Xue'er is willing to be your friend, which is a great honor for you. If not, you wouldn't even be worthy of our attention. You should recognize your own status."

A cold, angry voice came from outside the door: "Di Dai, you're getting more and more outrageous. You've even dared to come to Mo Mo's house."

When Mo Li saw the domineering figure appear, her eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement. She smiled and went to greet him. Ye Zixuan couldn't even reach out to grab her, which showed how fast she was.

Emperor opened his arms wide. Although the two had exchanged many messages on their personal computers and video chatted every day since the last time, nothing could compare to the joy of seeing each other in person. The hidden longing poured out.

Mo Li was never a shy or pretentious person. Besides, the way men and women express themselves in the interstellar world was very open. She threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said in a soft tone with a hint of complaint, "Why did it take you so long to come see me? Didn't you want to?"

The Emperor lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I really want to."

Upon witnessing this scene, Emperor Dai was shocked and gritted his teeth, cursing under his breath:

"You vixen, you're shameless."

The others who had accompanied him were so shocked that their mouths were agape, their eyes filled with undisguised jealousy and resentment.

The title of Emperor was the dream of countless people; in the empire, there was no young woman who didn't yearn to marry such a handsome and powerful man.

Bei Gong Xue'er's hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging into her flesh, yet she seemed oblivious to the pain. It felt as if a huge gash had been torn open in her heart, causing her excruciating pain, with blood gushing out from within.

From the time she was old enough to understand, she learned from her grandparents, father, and mother that she would be the wife of the Emperor. From then on, that handsome and powerful man lived in her heart. Throughout her life, no one knew how hard she worked, just so that one day she could stand by his side and not be burned by his dazzling brilliance.

Countless men fawned over her and pursued her, countless people fawned over her like stars around the moon, but her heart never wavered, because no man could compare to the Emperor. How could a firefly compete with the bright moon? He was the bright moon that her heart longed for, the drop of blood from her heart!

Even though the two were engaged, the Emperor was someone she could only look at from afar, and dared not have the slightest thought of him or any disrespect.

Unexpectedly, that woman, who was inferior to him in every way, was so unscrupulous and shameless as to throw herself into his arms in front of everyone.
