After Qin Cheng walked a road that felt both short and long, he finally arrived at the party venue with the two girls behind him.
He saw the other guests Mu Yi had invited. They were mostly rich young heirs and a few minor celebrities. Every one of them was dressed to the nines and full of energy. The gender ratio was about even.
They stepped up the stairs on the other side. At a glance, all they could see was a stretch of lush green lawn. Plenty of flourishing trees stood around it, making the whole place look rather spectacular.
It seemed Mu Yi really liked plants.
Right in the center of the lawn was a huge area of temporary... tents.
That’s right. Tents. All kinds of tents. Tents in every color.
There were classic triangular tents, rice dumpling-shaped tents, and some that were fused together.
One absolute mad genius had even made a spherical tent. It had been blown away by the wind, and someone was still chasing after it...
Outside the tents were naturally all sorts of other things as well. Barbecue grills, floral decorations, and enough high-end instruments for everyone to hold one each. They could’ve formed a whole band on the spot.
While they were greeting each other and having fun, Qin Cheng and the two behind him gradually caught up.
The moment Qin Cheng, Yu An, and the little maid arrived, the others at the party naturally noticed them.
A few of the guys usually had terrible eyesight, yet from this far away they could already tell the little maid and Yu An behind Qin Cheng had to be beauties. They eagerly ran over, hoping to leave a good impression or something.
Then they saw Young Master Qin, one of the Four Young Masters of Pinghai...
And when they realized those two beauties seemed to be with him, all the flashy moves they had prepared instantly rotted in their heads.
Qin Cheng did recognize a few of them. One of them, a man with choppy bangs, was called He Yi. He was a rather simple-minded guy, though his family did have some background.
At the same time, he had also been one of the original owner’s former lackeys.
Back when Qin Cheng still had his phone these past few days, he had seen worried messages from He Yi on QQ.
But this lackey was pretty innocent. Back when the original owner was busy doing the deed with women, He Yi only dared to hold hands or steal a kiss at most.
Out of all the lackeys, he was the only virgin left.
“Boss, are you all better now? I’ve been really worried these past few days. I sent messages, but you never replied.”
The moment He Yi saw his boss here, he immediately trotted over and greeted him like usual.
He was just... a little long-winded.
Qin Cheng frowned and said flatly, “You were worried about me, but instead of visiting, you came to a place like this to have fun?”
As soon as Qin Cheng said that, He Yi froze. A look of grievance quickly appeared on his face.
He scratched his head like a fool, then said, “Boss, I did go. But every time, you weren’t there. I went to the hospital, and you’d already gone home. I went to your house, and you were gone again. What was I supposed to do...”
“I was in despair too!”
He Yi spoke bitterly, and that dumb, aggrieved look made Qin Cheng fall silent.
Come to think of it, his schedule really had been like that... Looking at it that way, had he really wronged the guy?
“Oh right, Boss, what are these two sisters-in-law called?”
Just as Qin Cheng was wondering whether he should comfort He Yi a little, that one sentence instantly froze the atmosphere.
For a moment, Qin Cheng didn’t know what to say. He instinctively looked back at the two girls behind him.
But to everyone else, that move looked just like a man turning around to introduce his lovers.
When his gaze landed on her, a flush instantly spread across Yu An’s fair cheeks. She turned red as if blood had been dripped over her skin. Clutching her chest in panic, she hurriedly hid behind the little maid.
The little maid, on the other hand, remained calm.
She met Qin Cheng’s eyes, placed a hand over her chest, and said slowly, “It’s rare to be mistaken for husband and wife. I’m quite happy.”
She let go of Yu An’s hand and reached it toward Qin Cheng.
Her eyes blinked playfully. In those soft, autumn-water eyes was a trace of serious yet calm amusement.
At that moment, she seemed even more beautiful than before. Even He Yi beside them fell silent under that layer of beauty.
Yu An’s cherry lips parted slightly, and her eyes were filled with nothing but her face.
Qin Cheng’s brows drew together faintly. His gaze fixed on that jade-like hand suspended in the air.
He slowly walked toward the little maid.
He reached out and took her hand. A smooth, soft sensation came from his palm, so alluring that one wouldn’t want to let go.
Qin Cheng naturally didn’t.
“Mmm...?”
The little maid tilted her small head and looked at Qin Cheng’s face, now close at hand, with a cute, blank expression.
Her gaze was somewhat calm.
Just like his own...
“How happy?”
“Mmm... this happy... mm, wait...”
The little maid didn’t struggle in Qin Cheng’s arms. She even leaned into them, her soft chest pressing against him.
She tried to lift her right hand, only to find Qin Cheng had caught it and wouldn’t let it out.
Left with no choice, she used her left hand to hover around Qin Cheng’s cheek. Then, under his gaze...
Her slender hand barely managed to force a smile onto his face.
“There, this happy~”
The corners of his lips were forcibly pulled up into a weird little smile. For the usually aloof Demon Sovereign, this look was more than a little comical.
“Pfft... cough cough... sorry... Young Master Qin.”
The little maid couldn’t hold back her laughter for a moment.
Qin Cheng’s eyelid twitched slightly. Keeping a calm expression, he leaned close to her ear and parted his lips.
A moment later.
A rare blush appeared on the little maid’s cheeks, and she awkwardly pushed Qin Cheng away.
“You can’t be this lewd...”
