Inside the room, Chen Che carried Xia Na into the bathroom.

Stripped of her clothes, Xia Na glared at Chen Che and said, "Why did you carry me here? I'm not going to run."

Chen Che pressed Xia Na against the corner, lifted her snow-white chin, looked at those enticing pink lips, and curled his lips into a smile, "You don't understand, this is called adding spice."

"Pervert!"

Xia Na raised a middle finger, and Chen Che did the same to make her submit.

Restless night.

…

When Chen Che woke up the next day, there was only a little snow-white foot on his chin; Xia Na slept quite restlessly, with no proper sleep posture at all.

Her body was practically sprawled across his, which made Chen Che get up grumpily and slap Xia Na on the butt, the sting waking her up, glaring at Chen Che with resentment, clenching her teeth.

"Bastard, when you're into it, when you're kissing, you can't get enough, but after you've had your fill, you treat me like this?"

"Who told you to sleep like that? Your damn foot was almost in my mouth!"

"It's not like you haven't tasted it before!"

"Get lost! That's different!"

The morning argument ended with both parties raising a middle finger.

Together, they went to take a shower in the bathroom.

After a morning exercise session, they finally emerged from the bathroom satisfied.

Dressed and heading to the manor's living room.

Chen Che saw Deer Kamon, who was sitting at the table, with breakfast prepared, the aroma of steaks filling the air.

Chen Che painted a smile on his face, just about to greet, but suddenly noticed Deer Kamon's expression and the change in the emotions deep in his eyes.

Chen Che's instincts were sharp, immediately sensing something, squinting slightly, he squeezed Xia Na's small hand and whispered, "Something's off, don't blabber later."

Xia Na froze for a moment, too lazy to think, knowing that listening to Chen Che rarely went wrong. She gave a soft "Mm," and they approached the dining table.

Chen Che greeted Deer Kamon with a polite smile on his face at the Underground Emperor.

Deer Kamon, deep in thought, looked up upon hearing Chen Che's greeting. The Emperor's eyes flickered for a moment before calming down, his expression turning serious.

Deer Kamon did not respond to Chen Che with the same politeness and warmth as yesterday, but instead let out a long sigh and said sternly, "Mr. Chen, finish breakfast with your companion and subordinates, and leave soon. As for our cooperation discussed yesterday, it's over."

Xia Na couldn't help but widen her eyes, her heart turning vigilant instantly, instinctively wanting to reach for the Tang Blade strapped on her back.

The opponent's sudden backtracking made Xia Na sharply aware that something must have happened, and the two sides might turn from friends to foes.

In this case, Chen Che, being in the opponent's stronghold, would naturally be in great danger.

As Chen Che's bodyguard, Xia Na, having given her body, naturally wouldn't hesitate to give her life either.

However, Chen Che remained calm, as he had already sensed from Deer Kamon's eyes and change of expression that something was different.

Chen Che calmly sat at the table, looking at Deer Kamon, sincerely asking, "Mr. Kamon, we had a great talk yesterday. I could feel we're similar people.

We stride toward our goals in the same direction, and along the way, if something blocks us, we'd remove it without hesitation, yet maintaining a bit of a boundary.

Enjoying the conversation last night, I even regarded you as a confidant.

Did you know? Before actually meeting you, my thoughts of you were of someone ruthless, intimidating, standing above others, extremely protective of your authority and status, not tolerating provocation.

But after interacting, I know you're not like that. We can definitely be friends.

For you to change your mind in just one night, let me guess... During the night when Xia Na and I were sleeping, something must have happened that we are unaware of."

"Let me guess again, this must be related to your daughter, right? I've seen people like you, something simple wouldn't make people like you suddenly change your mind or break a promise.

Unless it's absolutely necessary.

The only reason, it must be your weakness.

Last night, the way you looked at Anna was full of concern and love, Anna is your weakness, the one you care about most.

For you to change your collaborative thoughts with me overnight, I guess someone used your daughter Anna as leverage to split our collaboration.

I'm curious, who is behind this? What kind of promises did they make to you to change your mind?"

Deer Kamon's eyes looking at Chen Che were filled with admiration, this young man had surprised him countless times.

Fearless, quick-thinking, clever.

An undeniably exceptional talent.

And he gets along well with him, just as Chen Che said, even Deer Kamon knew they were similar.

The two would work quite well together, they'd become friends.

If not for last night's event, Deer Kamon would enthusiastically invite him to breakfast, even after witnessing Chen Che's culinary skills, he would shamelessly drag this guest into the kitchen to prepare a perfect breakfast!
