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

"Miss Bai...?"

As soon as he spoke, Xuan Moyuan almost showed his weakness. A sense of regret welled up in his heart, and he quickly forced a calm expression.

The girl's back trembled slightly at his sudden voice. She abruptly raised her head, straightened her back, and stood there stunned for a moment like a frightened deer, seemingly unaware of the tension hidden in his voice.

As she slowly turned around at the sound, her stunningly beautiful face, capable of instantly stirring up a storm in Xuan Moyuan's heart, unexpectedly entered his eyes...

The moment their eyes met, it was as if a current of electricity flowed between them, instantly stirring up the hidden and turbulent undercurrents in their hearts.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

In those few seconds of eye contact, it seemed as if countless indescribable emotions were constantly growing and lingering in the air.

In the end, Xuan Moyuan was the first to give in, his face flushed with embarrassment as he quickly looked away.

At that moment, he was so nervous that his mind went completely blank. That breathtakingly beautiful face instantly filled his mind, leaving no room for any other thoughts...

In a daze, a thought kept swirling in his mind:

Those bright eyes, those curled eyelashes, those skin as white as jade—truly a face of unparalleled beauty…

Yesterday's fleeting glimpse had already stirred Xuan Moyuan's heart, and now, facing each other up close, he was filled with even greater joy, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

In contrast, Bai Mengran appeared calm, composed, and elegant in Xuan Moyuan's eyes.

In fact, the moment he suddenly opened his mouth, I was immediately captivated by his extremely magnetic deep voice.

There was no way around it; as a seasoned audiophile, she had absolutely no resistance to such sounds…

However, she wouldn't be foolish enough to openly express her feelings.

After her body instinctively reacted, Bai Mengran quickly regained her composure.

Taking advantage of that brief second when your back is turned to the other person, quickly regain your composure, put on a polite smile, and turn around.

However, the next second, her mind went in the opposite direction again, and she broke down once more.

Good heavens, not only is her voice so deadly, but her face is also so captivating.

Could this be... a test sent by heaven to tempt her with male allure?

How could she possibly withstand that!

Since being indiscriminately "poisoned" by the hateful coronavirus, she has no resistance left at all, and can't resist it even a little bit.

However, she still couldn't be sure whether the other person liked her or not...

Bai Mengran, who had a mischievous thought at first glance, had already begun to secretly plot.

However, she remained expressionless and broke the silence by speaking:

"Your Majesty...you've arrived?"

Before speaking, Bai Mengran hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to address the other person in person, but ultimately she politely stood up to greet them.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the other party immediately expressed their stance:

"Miss Bai's achievements are unparalleled. In the future, you will not need to be bound by those mundane etiquettes in front of me!"

If the young lady doesn't mind, she doesn't need to worry about titles; she can simply call me by my courtesy name, Zhaoheng..."

He blurted out the name that only close friends and family would use to address him. Xuan Moyuan originally just didn't want to hear Bai Gu Niang use the same name as everyone else, but he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.

Oh no! I seem to have been a little too eager during our first meeting...

Miss Bai... do you think I've been too presumptuous with my words?

Fortunately, not really.

"Zhaoheng?"

Bai Mengran parted her lips and softly read the name aloud, thinking to herself that it sounded quite nice.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to give her a way to get closer, she understood and was happy to take the opportunity to narrow the gap between them. It was much better than having to call him "Your Majesty".

However, the two words that Bai Mengran softly repeated struck Xuan Moyuan's heart like a heavy hammer, making his heart skip a beat and his cheeks flush slightly.

"Um……"

He responded softly, his voice so low it was almost inaudible.

Bai Mengran didn't hear it. Remembering the reason for their meeting today, she decided to settle the important matter first.

"Um... regarding the charitable matter I mentioned last night, I wonder what Your Majesty's opinion is?"

As they were talking, Bai Mengran gracefully sat down again, gently patted the side of the bench, and smiled, gesturing for him to sit down and have a proper conversation as well.

Seeing this, Xuan Moyuan immediately sat down obediently next to her at the same end.

However, he stood upright like a pine tree, merely sitting nervously by the edge of the chair, his posture perfectly straight.

However, once he started talking about national affairs concerning the people, his innate imperial aura returned, and he shared all his thoughts on the matter without reservation.

"The matter that Miss Bai mentioned last night, wanting to build nursing homes and libraries to benefit the people, was discussed with my ministers during the morning court session today."

In my opinion, this matter should not be left to the young lady alone to worry about; the court should do its utmost to assist her in advancing it.

Regarding the site selection, you only need to provide a suitable location, and I will have the Ministry of Revenue plan the land use according to your instructions.

Since this land use is a beneficial undertaking for the country and its people, it should naturally be funded by the imperial court, allowing Miss Bai complete freedom to construct it.

Ever since Miss Bai mentioned this matter to him last night, Xuan Moyuan has been extremely concerned about it, even pondering it repeatedly when he couldn't sleep at night.

Today's court assembly is focused on this major issue concerning the well-being of all people, so he speaks clearly and eloquently.

He continued, "As for the nursing home volunteers that Miss Bai is hoping for..."

As the ruler, Xuan Moyuan was always used to speaking in one breath without being interrupted.

However, as he was speaking, his gaze inadvertently glanced to the left, and he instantly swallowed the rest of his words.

He was so engrossed and focused on his speech that he inadvertently forgot he wasn't talking to court officials or subordinates, but rather...

While Bai Mengran was listening attentively, her mind was actually more absorbed in the pleasant, magnetic voice so close to her ear...

It truly lives up to its reputation as my beloved bass voice; listening to it up close is simply a treat for the ears.

Seeing the voice suddenly stop, she instinctively and urgently asked, "And then? Why did you stop talking?"

When I looked up, I was caught off guard by a pair of deep, dark eyes, eyes so unfathomable they seemed bottomless...

Their eyes met again, and they both caught a glimpse of panic on each other's surprised faces, but neither was willing to look away from the other.

The moment their eyes met, the air between them seemed to suddenly heat up, rippling with a hint of ambiguity...
