"Hello?"
"Hello? Are you still there?"
Na'er listened as no sound came from the other end, a trace of suspicion crossing her face as she pressed further.
"I..."
Hearing the sweet, adorable voice on the other end of the line, Dai Yun'er fell silent. She tried her best to calm herself, but it was impossible.
"I'm here, you..."
"Are you his..."
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath, struggling not to cry as she whispered softly.
"I'm Luo Chuan Gege's girlfriend. My name is Na'er."
"We don't have plans to visit the Star Luo Continent this holiday, but I can ask him about it later."
Na'er's expression remained mostly unchanged as she picked up her communicator and glanced out the window, speaking softly.
She wasn't like Gu Yue—not that she didn't feel jealousy, but she also cared about others.
Whether it was Luo Chuan Gege or the sisters around her, like Xiao Yan and the others.
But this Dai Yun'er, all the way over on the Star Luo Continent...
She truly didn't know much about her. So whether they could go to the Star Luo Continent wasn't something she could decide—she'd have to ask Luo Chuan Gege later.
After all, this girl...
was also Brother's friend.
"Girlfriend..."
"So it is... It really is..."
Hearing this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Dai Yun'er's face, but there was no real surprise in her voice as she murmured.
After all, she had come seeking answers she already knew...
She just hadn't expected that the one answering the call would be Luo Chuan's girlfriend herself. At this moment, she could only describe it in one way—the joy she felt when the call connected was matched only by the despair she felt now.
"Mhm, Luo Chuan Gege has mentioned you before, so I know you're a..."
"Good princess."
Na'er wore a faint smile, but after a moment of thought, she still couldn't come up with anything better to say.
After all...
she really didn't know much about this princess.
It was only when she first saw that powerful fighter named Tong Yu protecting Luo Chuan Gege that she incidentally learned a tiny bit from him.
Just enough to know a name, nothing more.
"Good princess..."
Hearing this description, even Dai Yun'er was stunned. After a pause, she forced a less-than-happy smile. Good princess—what a strange way to address someone...
And to her surprise, she realized that Luo Chuan's girlfriend didn't seem jealous at all while talking to her—not even a little. Which meant...
The other party had absolute confidence.
Enough confidence that, in her eyes, even a princess from a great nation posed no threat whatsoever.
"Then..."
"Was there anything else you wanted to say?"
Na'er asked softly.
"No, nothing..."
Dai Yun'er quickly replied.
What else could she say at this point?
"Then I'll hang up now. I'll relay what you said earlier to Luo Chuan Gege later."
"Okay..."
"Alright."
Dai Yun'er responded weakly. As the line went dead with a beep, she simply sat there in a daze, not thinking, not wanting to think...
Her future prince consort...
had been taken by someone else...
"..."
"Huh?"
"Luo Chuan Gege, when did you come out?"
Na'er had just hung up the phone when she turned around and noticed Tang Luochuan standing nearby, seemingly having appeared out of nowhere. She blinked in surprise and said,
"Since when...?"
"Probably when you first answered the call."
Tang Luochuan shook his head with a smile, casually brushing aside his still-damp hair as he replied softly.
"Oh...?"
"Then why didn't Luo Chuan Gege come over to talk to me? That was so awkward!"
Na'er blinked, unable to help but pout.
"Awkward?"
"But what I saw was a Na'er who carried herself with the grace of a lady of the house."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan chuckled warmly, stepping forward to pull her into his arms as he murmured.
"Ah—!"
"L-Lady of the house? Me?"
At those words, Na'er's eyes instantly brightened, her cheeks flushing pink. Though Luo Chuan Gege had praised her many times before, words like these...
Ehehe, who could resist that?!
"Of course it's you."
Tang Luochuan grinned. He had seen her demeanor earlier—she hadn't spared a single thought for the person on the other end of the call.
"Well..."
"I suppose there's a little bit of that!"
Na'er giggled, accepting the compliment without hesitation.
Since Brother said so, she wouldn't be overly modest. After all, she was already one of the daughters-in-law recognized by Auntie—she would be the lady of the house by Luo Chuan Gege's side in the future!
"Oh, right."
"That Princess Yun'er just called you, asking if you wanted to go to the Star Luo Continent..."
Na'er then mentioned casually.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but study his expression. If Luo Chuan Gege showed even the slightest interest in going, she would want to go too.
The vacation was long enough, after all. A trip to the Star Luo Continent wouldn't be a big deal—the only downside was that Gu Yue-jie wouldn't be able to join them.
"No."
"I'll stay and spend time with you."
Tang Luochuan shook his head without hesitation.
He might not be the most monogamous person, but he took his relationships seriously. After spending so much time with Gu Yue before, now that he was with Na'er... this vacation would belong entirely to her.
"Really?!"
Na'er's eyes sparkled instantly.
She had expected Luo Chuan Gege to ask if she wanted to go—if he had, it might have meant he wanted to but didn't want to say it outright...
But he had refused outright!
He was going to spend the whole vacation with her? Ehehe!
"Of course."
Tang Luochuan smiled in confirmation. Once he gave his word, he wouldn't go back on it—he would never deceive his girl.
As for Yun'er's feelings toward him, he wasn't blind to them. But now that Na'er had already spoken to her on the phone...
He figured Yun'er would probably give up on him after this.
"A playboy..."
"I really am turning into one."
Tang Luochuan sighed inwardly.
"..."
"No—I still have a chance!"
Meanwhile, in another place.
Dai Yun'er, inside the palace, wiped away her tears and clenched her teeth, murmuring to herself.
She still had a chance...
Luo Chuan was the consort she had chosen—she didn't want anyone else, only him!
No one could take her consort away from her!
At the moment, Luo Chuan had only just gotten a girlfriend, and not much time had passed. She wasn't afraid, not one bit!
"Luo Chuan..."
"It's just the Douluo Continent, nothing more. If we weren't so far apart, other girls wouldn't even have a chance!"
Dai Yun'er gritted her teeth and spoke with determination.
"Senior Tong Yu happens to be there too, so I won't be in any danger. Plus, I can spend more time with Luo Chuan. Hah..."
"I'll do it!"
At that moment, a fierce light shone in Dai Yun'er's eyes.
She was going to the Douluo Continent too!
