I think my luck is turning around.

Now that the eldest prince is vying for the throne, Huang Yu's mother and younger brother are being controlled. Huang Lan has escaped and unknowingly made her way to the east of Rui Kingdom, which has been no easy feat. Now she has escaped the eldest prince's control and is just waiting to return home, eliminate the eldest prince's men, and allow her brother to reclaim the throne.

"The original storyline was that Huang Lan went to Ruiguo to find her sister and ask her for help, but after meeting Ji Xixi, things changed. Any two of the weapons in that car were invincible. Although Ji Xixi had amnesia at that time, she wasn't stupid. She only used a small portion of the weapons to help Huang Lan."

At that time, the old king was unwell, and the eldest prince was plotting something. Although Huang Yu tried to stop him, after the incident, he urged Huang Lan to come out and seek her sister's help. However, the storyline changed; Huang Lan didn't meet Ji Xixi, and now the eldest prince has ascended the throne, while Huang Yu is imprisoned in his mother's palace, unable to leave.

An Ge's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear. Ji Xia sat there watching An Ge, genuinely wondering if An Ge was truly the user who had peered into the book. Now, that identity was less important; An Ge was determined to be used by her.

Ji Xixi sat to the side, thinking about some things. If she helped Huang Lan return to his country and reclaim the throne for his brother, would she have completed her own storyline?

“Aren’t we trying to cover up some things right now? Why don’t you help me develop the storyline first, and use that as a cover-up for what happened on Nangka Island?”

Ji Xixi's suggestion was acceptable, and Ji Xia agreed. Since the trip would only involve a maximum of seven people, not a large group, the suggestion was approved immediately. An Ge also agreed; it wasn't necessary to return to Dujing so early, a trip there was also an option.

Heading south, Yanfei Kingdom lies just south of Rui Kingdom. The three women had settled their discussion; they would go south to help Ji Xixi with her storyline. Just then, a knock sounded at the door. The figure standing there was very upright; without a doubt, it was Lin Jingqing.

Come in!

Lin Jingqing pushed open the door. He didn't hide in the shadows to eavesdrop; he simply stood at a distance, observing the light in the room. Ji Xia had indeed activated a spatial restriction device, partly to prevent eavesdroppers from overhearing things they shouldn't. Ji Xia's room had always had one.

"An Ge, you should rest."

Lin Jingqing's voice was devoid of emotion, but at this moment An Ge seemed to remember why she came here to find Ji Xia. She looked at Lin Jingqing helplessly, rolled her eyes, and didn't want to curse or complain.

"Wood, what are you doing here?"

"I'm not made of wood."

"Aren't you a blockhead? You said you've been with me in the modern world for a long time, so why are some of your behaviors still so annoying? Don't you know my personality or something else?"

Lin Jingqing stared intently at An Ge, trying to ascertain her intentions. If it truly required disregarding everything, then An Ge could forget about being comfortable.

An Ge was also uneasy under that direct gaze. Although Lin Jingqing still looked the same, his words had changed: "Since you want to see me like that, then keep seeing me!"

With that, Lin Jingqing walked straight into the room, picked up An Ge, and headed out. The other two were obviously watching the show; they knew Lin Jingqing's usual behavior, but this was something they never expected. An Ge immediately started to panic. What was this guy going to do?

She struggled to get him to put her down, but he wouldn't come down even when they reached Lin Jingqing's room. An Ge was exhausted from struggling all the way. She looked at Lin Jingqing as he placed her on the bed, his gaze so frightening. His eyes held such possessiveness and a predatory urge, and his hand was gripping An Ge's hand tightly, as if afraid she would run away.

"This is what you wanted, An Ge, I like you so much!"

Lin Jingqing's eyes were smiling. This wasn't a secret, but An Ge's heart still fluttered when she heard Lin Jingqing say it; she was more delighted than anything else. An Ge was hoping Lin Jingqing would do something—after all, this was her ambiguous crush! Doing something was fine with her.

"Promise me you won't fall in love with anyone else, okay?"

Lin Jingqing's voice pulled An Ge back to reality; his gentle voice sounded so pitiful. "Don't fall in love with anyone else." This request wasn't difficult; it was simple for An Ge. To be honest, An Ge had never liked anyone before, including the person in front of her.

I've never liked him, but I can say I have some feelings for him. These feelings can't be called liking, nor can they be simply divided into affection. I can only say that An Ge enjoys the feeling of ambiguity. Let's forget about dating!

This is something that tortures both of you, so just maintain the current relationship.

An Ge was hoping that Lin Jingqing would do something, like a passionate kiss, the kind where they would forget themselves, but Lin Jingqing just looked at An Ge with a wronged expression. What could An Ge do?

"sure."

As she spoke, An Ge grabbed Lin Jingqing's collar, letting Lin Jingqing's weight press down on her. Let the entanglement begin!

The morning sun obediently shone into the room. An Ge woke up and looked at the absurdity of last night. She didn't sigh at herself as before. This time it was voluntary. Could she have done something without knowing why she was doing it?

No, An Ge likes to be hugged, so she nestled in Lin Jingqing's arms. Her hands were also getting restless, and she was about to do something else, but someone knocked on the door, forcing the pretending-to-be-asleep Lin Jingqing to answer.

"Young Master Lin, Mr. Ji sent me to ask if you two have gotten up yet. If you have, please meet me in the front hall."

"I'm awake. I'll go in a bit."

Hearing the people outside walk away, Lin Jingqing lay back down, holding An Ge in his arms. An Ge, at this point, didn't want to sleep anymore. She stood up and started dressing. Lin Jingqing clung to An Ge, planting a kiss on her lips, but An Ge only smiled.

"Hurry up and get dressed, our schedule has changed."

An Ge's words made Lin Jingqing realize that their discussion last night had yielded results. Lin Jingqing quickly got dressed and arrived at the front hall in less than fifteen minutes. Ji Xia saw that all six people had arrived and asked for their opinions.

"Now there are two paths to take: return to the capital or go south to Yanfei Kingdom to do something."

An Ge and Lin Jingqing didn't say much, but Zhan Yu and Li Yuesheng were somewhat hesitant. However, Li Yuesheng quickly decided to go with Ji Xia; after all, it was Ji Xia, and the experience would definitely be different with her. Seeing that her boss had also made up her mind, Zhan Yu decided to go along as well. It can only be said that Ji Xia was very capable; the carriages were already arranged, and within five days, the fast horses would reach the border with Yanfei Kingdom.

However, it will take three more days to reach the capital of Yanfei Kingdom, Zhoujing City. This is the fastest time possible. Since we are not here with any extraordinary talents, we can only rely on transportation. Lin Jingqing alone is not enough. Let's travel slowly together!

"Mr. Ji, that person has woken up."
