He held a book in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the door until the footsteps disappeared before he looked back.

  He had already prepared himself to forgive her unreasonable words, but she didn't come in, which made him purse his lips uncomfortably.

  Caius never thought he would do anything wrong, his decision-making and execution were beyond doubt, so in this matter, he believed that Xinxia's opposition to his order was incorrect.

  That sentence was detestable and made him feel anxious, he didn't like that word coming out of her mouth.

  She is not qualified and has no right to say this sentence to him.

  Cynthia went back like nothing had happened and soaked her feet again, then snuggled under the covers in bed and fell asleep.

  By the evening of the second day, Cynthia, who had taken a nap, came out of her bedroom and lazily walked upstairs.

  This morning she didn't let Joe cook and hadn't left her bedroom door, apparently sulking with Kayser.

  Kaike is still not showing up, and judging from his temper, he must be waiting for her to apologize first.

  Did you think she would give in so easily? She snorted in her nose.

  She went up to the fourth floor and again quietly reached the door of the study.

  This time, the study door was not closed, but slightly ajar.

  She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to rise and tiptoed to the door to take a peek inside.

  Caius still sat motionless in the chair, a night without sleep would not leave any trace on his handsome face, he looked as spirited and focused as ever, staring intently at the book in his hand.

  But Cynthia suspected he hadn't read it at all.

  The door won't open by itself, he knew she had come last night and opened it on purpose today.

  Of course, she won't go in.

  She deeply made Kaelus aware that whether it's a girl or a woman, when they show you their clothes, it's to make you praise them, not to despise them.

  Cynthia rubbed her belly and looked at Kael a few more times before sighing.

  It's noon and I haven't eaten yet, now I'm really a bit hungry, go fill up the stomach first.

  After her footsteps faded away, Kael's face turned gloomy, and his fingers, which were pinching the page, exerted a bit more force, tearing off the entire page. He simply slammed the whole book onto the table, accompanied by a heavy anger.

  On her way to the kitchen, Cynthia encountered Anthony and Eubule cleaning the red carpet.

  "How is Qiao doing? I'll go take a look at her."

  "She just went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." Anthony smiled in response, "You finally decided to come out, not eating all morning isn't good."

  Cynthia automatically ignored his second half of the sentence and said: "Didn't I tell her not to cook today either? She's so reckless."

  "Jiao's probably done, I reckon there's nothing more important than her cooking for you." Ebur took some dust and put it all into a container with magic, then replied.

  Cynthia deliberated for a moment, "I'll go find her."

  She lifted her skirt and rushed downstairs, running to the kitchen like a gust of wind, just in time to meet Qiao coming out from inside, who gave her a big hug.

  "What are you doing? Running so fast." Qiao Ru stood like a wall, Cynthia's impact didn't bring her any harm, not even making her move half a step, both hands firmly encircled her waist.

  Cynthia hastily retreated from her arms, rubbing the nose she had bumped into and circled around to her back, worriedly saying: "You've been hurt for so long, yet you still come out to cook for me."

  Her eyes, which had been cold and distant, warmed up, "I'm fine now."

  "Let me take a look, if it doesn't work I'll still take you to the pharmacist, I'm not quite convinced by what Anthony said, when he smiles I feel like you're forcing yourself." Cynthia's gaze kept wandering over her back.

  Seeing her so worried, Qiao couldn't help it and walked over to close the kitchen door.

  As she began to undo her skirt, Qiao couldn't help but say: "I heard you made the master angry again, you should listen to him more."

  "You have no idea how outrageous he was yesterday afternoon, I suspect his dignity is gone, and his aesthetics are also gone." Cynthia responded with a stuffy tone, she almost described him as a complete jerk.

  "You can never imagine what he has been through." Joe said this with a lowered voice, filled with sympathy and awe.

  Cynthia didn't want to imagine anything, she didn't care at all, she just wanted to leave before being overwhelmed by the beauty and stench here.

  Qiao half-undressed skirt, showed her back, "Xin Siya, try to obey him, so you can live a better life."

  The originally terrible back that couldn't be looked at with the naked eye is now spotless, and only some deep wounds still have a little scabbing, but overall it's fine.

  Anthony wasn't wrong, Joe's self-healing ability is simply invincible.

  "You're really quick." Cynthia felt relieved, but she didn't respond directly to Qiao's obedience, just casually said "good".

  Proper submission is a means of seduction, but being too submissive to a man will soon make him lose his freshness.

  Timely rebellion is a good emotional seasoning, and it also makes him understand what her needs are.

  "My ability is regeneration." Joe redressed himself while defending Kaidō, "So the adults' punishment doesn't pose any threat to me."

  Cynthia pursed her lips, "But it's going to hurt, just looking at it hurts."

  "Stay by the adults' side, pain is something you should be used to." Qiao's expression turned unusually serious as he spoke to her, "Temolia was taken by force, and in order to protect his territory, no one can imagine how many times he endured betrayal and assassination in the long river of time without divine power."

  Cynthia was stunned.

  Perhaps Joe also felt that his tone was too serious, he eased up, "You and I are different, you can't betray the adults either, maybe you think he's not good, but he gave you all the tolerance."

  Could have been close to him from the start, it was premeditated.

  Cynthia lowered her eyes, covering up her emotions, and moved her lips. "I won't betray him, I'm just angry that he always looks down on me."

  "It's been a long time since I've had such a big appetite." Anthony didn't know when he opened the kitchen door, leaning against the stone wall with a smile.

  Cynthia turned around and pouted, "Don't cook for him tonight, anyway he won't eat."

  "What are you up to now, Princess Cynthia?" Anthony even used her title.

  Cynthia looked at Joe again, her eyes rolling around, "Let's call up Abel and go to the tavern in the East City District to drink and eat meat! It's fun and lively there."

  "Are you crazy? Or do you want to get beaten up by Joe again?" Anthony said this without a hint of anger, but rather with a bit of schadenfreude.

  Harvested a knife-like glance from Joe, Anthony shrugged, "I'm just stating the facts."

  The normal update time is usually at 0 o'clock, if it's past midnight and there's no update, then it will be released in the afternoon.
