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

Emperor Jue actually opened his arms wide. That embrace was what she had longed for in countless midnight dreams, and she had fantasized about being held in his arms. But in the end, those were all just fantasies.

Mo Li? Bei Gong Xue'er wished she could chew those two words up and swallow them whole. She hated her. At this moment, she hated the woman who had stolen her man. She had only one thought in her mind: death. She would make her suffer all kinds of hardships and die like a rat in a gutter.

The Emperor's tenderness stung her eyes and shattered her heart.

Ye Zixuan was truly jealous. He secretly glared at Di Jue. In front of such a man, he had no chance at all, and could only weakly call out:

"Ah Li, sit back down."

Mo Li stepped out of Di Jue's embrace, only then realizing there were so many people around. Feeling a little shy, she took his hand and the two sat down on the sofa.

"Did you come here suddenly to surprise me?"

"Hmm, did you feel surprised?"

"Yes, Ah Jue is so kind."

"Oh, is it so?"

Mo Li quickly avoided his somewhat intense gaze. The meaning in his dark eyes was all too clear at this moment; he was blatantly asking her what the reward was. As for the reward he wanted, well...

Unable to bear seeing such sweet interactions between the two, Bei Gong Xue'er quickly adjusted herself to her best state, trying to show Di Jue her most beautiful side.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The others, recovering from their initial shock at the Crown Prince's good looks, quickly composed themselves and said somewhat flusteredly, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Di Dai said with some resentment, "Brother, is she all you can see right now? Don't you see your own sister and fiancée?"

Emperor Jue glanced at Emperor Dai with displeasure and warned, "Watch your words."

He then looked at Beigong Xue'er with an extremely imposing gaze: "Miss Beigong, I believe you are well aware that you and I have no relationship whatsoever."

I've always heard that you're quite sensible and reasonable, and I imagine you wouldn't associate with them, resorting to unreasonable arguments and distorting the truth. I've chosen the person I'll spend the rest of my life with, and I won't change my mind.

Ye Zixuan glanced at Di Jue with a strange sense of admiration. Not bad, he was a real man. However, she was still a little jealous and wanted to say something to him:

"Hurry up and let go of my hand, let go."

In the end, lacking the courage, he could only secretly and stealthily hook his arm around Mo Li's clothes, secretly pleased with himself, "Hmph, I have Mo Li's clothes to hold me."

It's really cowardly, pathetic, and ridiculous.

Guan Yunzhou merely observed all of this indifferently, his hands hanging at his sides slightly clenched, and an obscure light flashed in his eyes.

Bei Gong Xue'er felt awkward for a moment. She couldn't respond to what Di Jue had just said. If she agreed, it would mean that she really had nothing to do with him anymore. How could she be willing to accept that?

Always proud, she had never lost to any woman, and now, she would never admit or accept that she would lose to Mo Li.

When Di Dai saw the misty tears in Bei Gong Xue'er's beautiful eyes and the teardrops hanging on her long eyelashes, he felt an indescribable heartache. Even Mo Li, whose heart was as hard as iron, almost felt a pang of pity when he saw the beauty weeping.

I must say, it's absolutely stunning.

Unfortunately, her relationship with the beauty was really...

The Emperor's deep voice rang out: "Emperor Dai, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Di Dai felt a moment of guilt, but thankfully suppressed his dissatisfaction with Di Jue and replied, "I'm a guest."

"Momo has already entertained you, so you may leave now."

After saying that, she turned to him and asked gently, "Did they bother you?"

"No, it adds a lively atmosphere, making the place feel less deserted."

Di Dai didn't want to leave. Bei Gong Xue'er had broken down as soon as she saw Mo Li rush into Di Jue's arms. She had been thankfully suppressing her emotions, which were about to erupt, just so she could stay in the same space with Di Jue a little longer.

For eighteen years, she held the title of the Crown Prince's fiancée, but the number of times they actually met could be counted on one hand, and the opportunities to talk were even fewer. Each time, they would exchange only a few polite and distant words.

Her grandmother and mother often told her that it was just the Crown Prince's personality; he was cold and indifferent to His Majesty, the Empress, and even the Imperial Princess, showing no emotion or feeling. It wasn't just him who was like that towards her.

Before today, Bei Gong Xue'er had been absolutely convinced of this, but now, her previous preconceived notions were shattered by the sweet atmosphere between Di Jue and Mo Li.

It turns out that Emperor Jue is a human being with all seven emotions and six desires. He is not only cold and powerful, but also gentle and doting on people. How could Bei Gong Xue'er let go of him? She wished that she was the one being held in the hand and treated gently at this moment.

"Are you tired? You can lean on my shoulder."

Mo Li reached out and gently patted his shoulder: "Hmm, you feel very sturdy and reliable. I won't stand on ceremony. I got up too early this morning and I'm a little sleepy now."

"Go to sleep for a while, I'll stay here with you."

"Doesn't A-Jue have anything to do this afternoon?"

"No, I specifically set aside a day today to spend with you."

"Really? What a big surprise! I'll definitely cook some of your favorite dishes for lunch."

Tears streamed down Bei Gong Xue'er's face. Not wanting Di Jue to see her lose her composure, she pulled back Di Dai, who was about to stand up for her in anger, and shook her head at him.

"Let's go back first and not bother Mo Li. It's all my fault for not being good enough and not doing enough. Di Dai, thank you. But I don't want you to be misunderstood by the Crown Prince because of me, and I don't want it to affect your relationship with your brother. If I were the one who saved the Crown Prince, he wouldn't ignore my existence now."

Di Dai could only offer her kind words of comfort:

"Xue'er, you are so outstanding and so good, how can you lower yourself to compare with that woman? In my eyes, she is nothing. You must not underestimate yourself. Your brother does not understand how good you are. Don't worry, I will help you. When you spend more time together, Mo Li will be nothing."

Kitamura Yukito gratefully took Teidai's hand:

"Di Dai, will you really help me? Won't this cause you trouble? If you are rejected by the Crown Prince because of me, I would rather... I would rather give my fiancé to Mo Li."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother and I are siblings from the same mother. Besides, what belongs to you can't be taken away by anyone. Mo Li is nothing but a shameless thief. We need to set things right and let my brother see clearly who is the real deal and who is the fake."

Upon hearing this, Bei Gong Xue'er's eyes flickered, and she looked at Di Jue with tender affection, her voice gentle and beautiful: "Your Highness, I will return with Di Dai first. You are welcome to visit the Bei Gong family when you have time."

"Brother, Xue'er has extended such a sincere invitation, you mustn't refuse, otherwise it would be embarrassing for her as a girl."

The Emperor had no such concerns and said coldly, "I am busy with political and military affairs and do not have any spare time in the short term. I am afraid I can only disappoint Miss Beigong's warm invitation."

Emperor Dai almost blurted out, "Brother, you're lying. If you didn't have time, why did you come to be with her?"
