I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

[Hey, host, don't forget, the brand new water feature next to the food street was fully completed last night and is waiting for you to officiate its opening...]

Seeing that the host hadn't gone that way yet, the system couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up to remind him.

"what!"

Reminded by the system, Bai Mengran finally snapped out of her reverie, slapped her forehead, and exclaimed excitedly:

"Oh dear, I was so busy wandering around and sightseeing, I was so excited that I completely forgot about this important thing..."

Because the entire water area, including Hot Pot Island, is located at the easternmost part of [Fairyland], which is the east side of the main food street.

It is separated from the food street by a quiet and romantic promenade, and a whole wall of lush green plants.

At this moment, since the hot pot island had not yet opened for lunch, all the doors and windows in front of the green wall were still tightly closed.

This is why the tourists are completely unaware of the changes that have taken place in the waters today, and Bai Mengran, who is engrossed in her visit, is equally oblivious.

"Huh?! Since the entire sea area isn't open to the public yet, then why don't we..."

Thinking of this, Bai Mengran's eyes lit up, her bright eyes flashing with a cunning light, and a bold and exciting idea instantly came to mind.

She glanced at the time subconsciously, her thoughts beginning to wander:

It's already past nine o'clock, shouldn't that person's morning court session be over by now?

Why don't we take advantage of the fact that no one is inside right now and invite him here for a secret meeting?

The moment the thought popped into her head, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake; her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to burst from her chest…

When Bai Mengran picked up her phone, her fingertips unconsciously tightened slightly. That subtle pressure inadvertently revealed her inner tension, as if even the phone could feel her pounding heartbeat.

She took several deep breaths, trying to calm her somewhat out-of-control emotions.

Walking alone on the quiet promenade, Bai Mengran found a comfortable seat and sat down.

She sat quietly for a moment, and finally mustered up her courage to gently tap the pinned chat box at the top of Fetion.

His fingers hesitated and agonized as he typed on the screen, revising and refining the words several times before finally managing to calmly finish his sentence.

The moment she pressed the send button with a sigh of relief, it was as if she had accomplished a great mission.

"Oh no, it's been sent! What do I do? I'm suddenly a little nervous..."

Bai Mengran muttered to herself, her cheeks slightly flushed. After all, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to meet a man.

Despite her repeated internal commands to stay calm and not panic...

However, faced with the uncertainty of the unknown, a sense of tension still welled up uncontrollably in her heart, overwhelming her like waves.

However, this tension quickly spread like wildfire, along with the message, to another person...

Inside the hotel's "Top Tier" Deluxe Room.

Even after the morning court session, Xuan Moyuan was still extremely busy, tirelessly handling various official duties on his phone's "Court Session" app.

His eyes were focused and sharp, and his fingers slid and clicked rapidly on the screen, as if he were racing against time.

Only after he had finished replying to all the online memorials and official documents did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He reached out and rubbed his forehead, which was tense from long hours of concentration. His slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He then instructed Wufu to serve the breakfast takeout that had been delivered to the hotel.

"Your Majesty, you rarely get a few days of rest, so why are you still so worried about state affairs?"

Fortunately, the takeout packaging has an insulated function, otherwise these takeout meals would probably have gotten cold...

Wu Fu, who had been carefully serving the emperor, had already quietly ordered takeout breakfast according to the emperor's taste.

However, because the emperor was busy and did not want to eat, Wufu patiently waited and did not open the takeout packaging without permission.

Upon opening the container, Wu Fu was surprised to find the food still warm. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the Emperor and wanted to advise him to rest more and not overwork himself.

"It's alright. I may have important matters to attend to in a while, so I'll just finish dealing with these official duties all at once."

Xuan Moyuan said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness.

Having finished his business, Xuan Moyuan relaxed his brows and stood up with a sigh of relief. He stretched his limbs and his tall, upright figure was bathed in a soft glow in the sunlight.

He then strolled leisurely to the dining room in the suite, gracefully took his seat, and began to dine at a relaxed pace.

Upon seeing the delicious food, his mood instantly brightened, and he savored the breakfast, which perfectly suited his taste, with great pleasure.

After eating and relaxing, Xuan Moyuan's thoughts raced, and he couldn't help but recall his promise to Miss Bai from the previous night...

It was precisely Bai's words, "I'll contact you after I'm done with my work tomorrow," that became the culprit behind his rare insomnia.

He had pondered those words countless times last night, and they were already deeply ingrained in his mind.

Although the invitation to meet was something he made on a whim, and Miss Bai had already agreed.

But in reality, Xuan Moyuan was quite hesitant to openly imagine what the scene would be like when the two of them actually met...

Whenever he thinks about it, he becomes as if he has contracted a strange illness, his face turns red, his heart races, and it feels like his heart is about to jump out of his throat.

I wonder when Miss Bai will finish her work today?

Will she really ask to see me...?

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, what's wrong? Is it too hot? Why is your face so flushed?"

Wu Fu, who was waiting by the side, kept a close eye on the emperor's every move.

Seeing that the emperor was eating, he sat there in a daze, his eyes seeming to wander.

Just then, Wufu, who was always attentive to his surroundings, suddenly heard the cell phone that the emperor had left in his study ring.

Just as he was about to offer a word of advice, he unexpectedly noticed the Emperor's strange behavior of turning his face completely red.

He was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat, thinking that the emperor was unwell, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"..."

Lost in thought, Xuan Moyuan, looking shy, was just imagining the romantic scene of their first meeting. His lips were slightly upturned, carrying a sweet smile.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the unlucky Wu Fu. He immediately glared at Wu Fu angrily and gave him a sharp look.

Damn it, how dare you interrupt my wonderful fantasy!

You better have something really wrong, otherwise, I'll make sure something really happens to you...

Feeling guilty under the Emperor's glare, Wu Fu blurted out his explanations in a rapid-fire manner:

"Well, Your Majesty, I heard your phone rang and thought I should report it to you immediately, for fear of delaying Your Majesty's important business..."

Upon hearing the word "cell phone," Xuan Moyuan immediately tensed up instinctively, as if wound up.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about investigating Yu Wufu's crimes, and said sternly and urgently:

"Bring me my phone at once!"
