Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sofia’s words. .h.i.t the softest spot in Elvi’s heart.

At the mention of her daughter’s illness, Elvi couldn’t bring herself to say anything more serious.

“Then get along well with them.” Elvi’s tone couldn’t help but soften.

She knew her daughter’s personality well. Edward always said that Sophia was obedient and polite. Other than her health, she had never worried anyone since she was young.

However, Elvi had helped her daughter clean up many messes.

Sophia knew that this meant agreement, so she smiled and nodded heavily. Just as Sophia intended, the next day, the invitation and a butler visited the hotel where Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were staying.

It was noon when they arrived. The other party considerately considered the schedule of the young people now and knocked on the door politely.

When Murong Qiao walked over to open the door, she saw a few people suddenly standing at the door. Among them, there was a middle-aged woman wearing makeup and smiling at her. She thought that she was dreaming. “h.e.l.lo, may I ask who you are…?” Murong Qiao asked hesitantly.

As soon as the question left her mouth, looking at the obviously luxurious clothes of the people in front of her, Murong Qiao already had an answer to her guess.

The middle-aged woman said, “Young Miss Murong, right? We were sent by Princess Sofia to invite you to the palace as guests.”

“Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Celestia, and I’m Princess Sofia’s butler.”

Celestia squared her shoulders. “Your heroic actions yesterday deserve a reward, and when Princess Sofia learned that you were traveling here, she decided to become a host.”

She clearly knew their ident.i.ties and backgrounds very well. In the end she even used their words to close the distance between them. Her accent was so standard that it even made people feel close.

Although Celestia spoke politely, Murong Qiao could only sense one big word from her words.

Troublesome.

Thinking of how Huo Yichen rejected Sofia yesterday and left with her, Murong

Qiao felt that this invitation was a little strange.

“Can you wait a moment? I need to tidy up first.” Murong Qiao had no choice but to say this first.

If it was an invitation from a n.o.ble or a rich family, they would reject it. However, with Sofia’s ident.i.ty, there was clearly no room for them to refuse. Seeing Murong Qiao say this, Celestia was also very understanding. She took a step back. “You can call me if you need help. Go ahead.” Murong Qiao nodded and closed the door. Then, she turned around and entered the room to look for Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen was working on his computer in the living room. Murong Qiao picked out some key points and briefly explained the guests’ intentions.

“…Troublesome.” Huo Yichen had the same thoughts as Murong Qiao.

He originally thought that the clear rejection yesterday would be the end of this matter in Huo Yichen’s opinion.

He didn’t expect Sofia to take the initiative to look for him today.

Moreover, it was an invitation issued in the name of the Princess. They couldn’t refuse even if they wanted to.

However, the other party was already waiting at the door. Other than following them, they really didn’t have a better choice.

“Let’s go and see the situation first.” Murong Qiao sighed helplessly. She had never thought that she would be pestered by trouble when she came out for a trip.

This peach blossom that had latched onto Huo Yichen followed him closely without any intention of leaving.

Unfortunately, the peach blossoms were rotten.

Murong Qiao narrowed her eyes when she saw the people Celestia had brought help them bring their luggage up. She was a little unhappy, especially when she thought of Sofia’s thoughts on Huo Yichen.

She was coveting him.

After all, Sofia’s invitation had been fulfilled. Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao couldn’t refuse and went to the palace to be guests.

Many people quickly found out that there were suddenly two more guests in the palace.

As the King, Edward had many important matters to attend to every day However, after Queen Elvi noticed her daughter’s abnormality, she still took note and decided to take a look at the situation when she had the time.

This is the residence prepared for the two of you.” The butler, Celestia, extended her hand respectfully.

Murong Qiao subconsciously pushed the door open, but was stopped by Celestia.

“Young Miss Murong, your room can’t be here.” Celestia smiled and pointed in the other direction.

Murong Qiao stopped pushing the door and turned to look at Celestia with a frown. “We’re engaged.”

She thought that Celestia didn’t know about their relationship, so she told her. Celestia’s eyes flashed. Seeing Murong Qiao say this, she smiled apologetically and didn’t speak for a moment.

Huo Yichen took the initiative to carry the things in first. “I’ll go get it.” “Celestia.” Suddenly, a dignified female voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Why did Queen Elvi appear? Her footsteps were slow as she walked towards Murong Qiao and the others. At the same time, her gaze couldn’t help but land on the guests her daughter had invited over.

“My Queen!” Celestia hurriedly bowed and took two steps back to make room for Elvi.

Murong Qiao looked over and met Elvi’s gaze in the air.

Elvi carried the usual dignity of a superior and the calmness and kindness of a mother. From the outside, she was still beautiful. If not for the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes that added more patterns to her skin, one would mistake her for someone in her twenties or thirties at first glance.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m Sofia’s mother, Elvi.”

Elvi took the initiative to greet Murong Qiao. There was a sincere smile on her face, so she looked especially sincere.

“Thank you for helping my daughter. If you encounter any problems in Country X, you can look for me.”

Elvi’s words were sincere.

Not to mention that she had a good impression of Murong Qiao from the moment she saw her.

-It was really just a small effort on our part,” Murong Qiao said casually.

Her gaze landed steadily on Murong Qiao’s face. “Sofia has been doted on since she was young. Perhaps she caused a lot of trouble for you when you interacted. Please forgive her.”

Indeed.

Murong Qiao agreed with Elvi’s words.

“It’s fine. We don’t want to trouble her…”

It was not like Murong Qiao didn’t know how to say pleasantries.

While Murong Qiao was talking to Elvi, another guest was welcomed at the other end of the corridor.

“Mother!” This time, it was Sofia.

She had received the news when Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen first arrived at the palace, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt for her to wait for them directly, so she waited for a while before coming.

However, she didn’t expect to see Elvi here.

Sofia smiled and jogged over to Elvi’s side. She held her arm very intimately before turning her gaze to Murong Qiao.

However, the faint antic.i.p.ation in her eyes instantly disappeared when she saw Murong Qiao alone.

Where is he?

Sofia’s gaze swept around her un.o.btrusively.

As if sensing Sofia’s thoughts, Huo Yichen walked out of the door behind Murong Qiao a few seconds later.

Almost the moment Huo Yichen came out, Queen Elvi observed her daughter’s gaze and attention instantly land on the other party. She immediately had some more thoughts..
