Chapter 42 Do you think I'm a fool?
"Huh? Is this your reason for dragging your luggage here?" Ge Yuan looked completely incredulous.
“But according to my information, Lillian will not arrive for at least two more days. Moreover, the spaceship is still damaged and has not been repaired. It is estimated that her arrival time here will be delayed. You should not have seen her.”
"But the truth is I was indeed kicked out," Shen Qingqing pleaded, leaning closer. "Beautiful Ge Yuan, please let me stay here. I promise I won't cause you any trouble..."
The experimental staff have all gone to make repairs these past few days, and she's the only one on the spacecraft right now cleaning up the mess.
With no one to help, Ge Yuan pondered the pros and cons, then decisively hoisted her luggage onto her shoulder, her long hair flying, and declared with boundless pride, "Fine! But you have to help."
"Okay, sure!"
And so, Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan's cohabitation began.
Picking up where we left off, Celit visited Leah early in the morning.
The original intention was to increase the pheromone index with Lia, but after discussion, it was found that the female in front of him was still as brainless as ever.
She was so engrossed in chatting about her girlish thoughts that she didn't listen to any of his suggestions.
“Lia, you know I’m not interested in that female.”
When she mentioned Lillian for the sixth time, Celit rubbed his temples, looking exasperated. "Why don't you still believe me?"
"No, Your Excellency, I have always believed in you."
Lia nestled in Celit's arms, her voice tender and her posture languid.
“But you’ve been a bit... well, maybe I’m overthinking it. How could Your Excellency possibly be interested in a woman of such low status?”
Ha, you don't have any status either.
Serrit thought to himself, but maintained a polite smile on his face. "Of course, if I get too close to her, wouldn't that be an insult to the Earl's status?"
Because of the Count's sudden arrival, Leah asked them to leave. Now that it was just the two of them, Leah simply pounced on him, wanting to tease him a little.
"But..." He hesitated, his words tugged at the heartstrings.
Lia was acquired by Serit from other powerful figures, and in her heart she already considered herself the Earl's possession.
No female is allowed to approach!
"There are no 'buts', Leah."
The count casually twirled a strand of pink hair around his finger. "But... your pheromones have faded lately... Is it due to your emotions or because you haven't been taking medication?"
Although she was gentle, having been by Celit's side for many years, she had long since learned to read people's expressions, and Leah knew he was unhappy.
He quickly explained, "I've been jealous lately, and it's making me feel really sour, which is why it's affecting my mood."
The pheromones of potential queens are influenced by a variety of factors, the most important of which is emotion.
This is another reason why Celit is having a headache.
The experiment did not go smoothly, most likely because the test subjects were emotionally unstable.
No matter how much entertainment he provides or how much freedom he gives them, he cannot guarantee emotional stability.
"It's torture," Celit thought.
"I'll be spending time with you lately, okay?"
Let's give up the idea of controlling it with brain hormones for now; Celit isn't someone who's in a hurry to achieve results.
"Really, really, Earl!" Lydia exclaimed in surprise as she lay in his arms, inhaling the expensive ambergris scent.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
“Nalilian…”
"It's alright, I don't love her."
"So who do you love?"
Just as their emotions were running high, a cold voice broke the ambiance.
"I didn't know that Celit's aesthetic sense was so low, that he could find anything pleasing to the eye."
Lia smiled, it was worth all the effort she put into getting information about Lillian.
The owner of the cool voice was dressed simply, but upon closer inspection, one could see that her white dress was adorned with tiny crystals that sparkled in the light as she moved.
Unlike them, Lillian did not undergo genetic modification, so her hair and pupils are still black.
The aloof and cold beauty has skin as white as snow, so white it's translucent. She exudes a sexy and beautiful aura, yet her face is innocent and pure.
Leah hates her face the most.
Lillian, the most beautiful female on the planet Wangxing, stood before them at that moment.
Lillian reached out her hand, her attitude arrogant. "Selite, answer me."
"What, you haven't found your Mr. Right, so you've come back to mock me, my fiancée?"
Despite being male, Celit was forced to break off his engagement by his fiancée.
Fortunately, the Marquis intervened and prevented the engagement from being nullified.
Lillian's expression wasn't good. Everyone knew that Wang Xing liked Saenster, and even Gatana said that he was the sharpest blade in the empire.
But those outstanding males just couldn't see her.
She stood before him and promised that she would say yes if he proposed to her!
But Saenster didn't react at all!
He showed no reaction whatsoever when faced with the most beautiful female on Wang Xing!
What a shame!
She had never suffered such injustice in her entire life!
So I made up my mind then and there that I had to get that man! At any cost!
"Snapped!"
A resounding slap landed on Celit's face, so hard that blood trickled from the corner of Celit's mouth.
"Remember your place, Sir Selit, Earl."
The word "Earl" was pronounced with emphasis, as if to remind him to be mindful of his tone when speaking to her.
Yes, even if I were incredibly wealthy, I would still only be a minor count.
The female opposite her has a marquis as her uncle.
Selit wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in a disheveled manner and stood up, becoming a head taller than Lillian.
The threatening tone echoed in Lillian's ears, like a demon's whisper, "Lillian, don't forget who gave you your current identity..."
"You don't want the Marquis to know about this, do you..."
Lillian's pupils contracted sharply, then she shoved Celit away violently. "Shut up! How dare you covet my identity!"
Leah sat on the bed, secretly watching the subtle changes in Lillian's expression.
She used to work for a powerful figure and learned a lot about reading people. This Lillian in front of her seems to have something on her mind.
Serit still wouldn't let her go, until Lillian tried to slap him again but was pulled back by the wrist and held in his arms.
A languid voice descended upon her from above. Celit said unhurriedly, "You didn't come back just to interrogate me, did you? Fill out the forms with any questions you have. Don't waste time acting impulsively."
After saying that, he let go of her hand, letting Lillian stagger and fall onto the sofa.
His face was even more unpleasant after being humiliated, and he was even more furious when he saw Lia watching the show from the bed.
"You, get out!" She pointed at Leah and told her to get out of her way and stop getting in her way.
Leah was blamed for doing nothing, but she knew that provoking Lillian would not end well, so she ran away as fast as she could without even putting on her shoes.
A form was pushed in front of her. Lillian picked up a pen and skillfully filled in the words "pheromone out of control" in the first column. Then she checked a few more options, put down the pen, and waited for the man to speak.
"After all this time, it's still the same old problem?" Celit adjusted his monocle and chuckled as he tugged at her hair.
"Do you take me for a fool, Lillian?"
