Chapter 104: Chapter 103 Let Him Come Back to Keep You Company

Netizens were frantically sending bullet comments, asking if the host was going to do a prize draw today.

Qu Tong fished out the beef, set it aside to cool, and used a strainer to filter the sauce.

Qu Tong checked the temperature and felt it was about right before slicing the beef.

Qu Tong’s knife skills were profound; each slice of beef was cut to a moderate thickness and was very even.

But Qu Tong didn’t do all the slicing herself, only cutting a small portion for herself and Si Yuting, and leaving the rest for Qianqian to handle.

Qu Tong placed the sliced beef on a plate in the prepared takeout box, drizzled some sauce over it, and covered it with a lid.

Seeing this, comments in the section voiced their envy:

[This portion must be for War God Your Highness, right? Even the plating is so delicate and pretty.]

[Absolutely! Definitely! The Princess Consort and His Highness share such great affection.]

[So jealous that War God Your Highness has such a loving Princess Consort~]

[Ahhh! War God Your Highness and his virtuous little sweet wife, it’s literally killing me!]

[Wishing His Highness and the Princess Consort a loving and fulfilling relationship, sweetening our days every day.]

[Although it saddens me, I guess I’ll reluctantly transition from girlfriend fan to shipper, Prince Consort Sister, you go girl!]

[Sniffle, I really like both the Princess Consort and War God Your Highness so much.]

[Oh my God! In which direction should I bow to find a partner as good as the Princess Consort?]

[Learn about discreet shipping from Ultraman.]

[Pfft hahaha!]

[LOL! Are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my loans?]

[I happened to be eating and sprayed food all over my brother’s face, and my mom slapped me hard...]

...

Qu Tong discovered that these netizens really had some wild ideas. No matter when, conversations in her comment section always veered off into strange directions.

Seeing more and more people start to discuss Ultraman, Qu Tong reluctantly used the prize draw to shift everyone’s attention.

The activity in the comment section would increase the odds of winning the prize wheel. At these times, netizens would enthusiastically send bullet comments.

After drawing 10 portions of beef and 10 oranges as prizes, Qu Tong ended the live stream.

The portions of sauce beef sent to the Imperial Palace and Abel Star were definitely much more than those sent to fans.

As Qu Tong was now more familiar with Si Yuting and could contact him at any time without feeling awkward, she did not leave a note.

Initially, the notes were meant to probe Si Yuting’s attitude, but there was no need for that now.

Little did she know that Si Yuting was wondering if Qu Tong was still upset about last time.

After finishing the late-night snack, Si Yuting frowned, staring at a small tomato on the corner of the table for a while, then took out his light computer and dialed Emperor’s communicator.

In the Emperor’s bedroom.

Si Chen was dressed in loose pajamas, deeply frowning, grabbing the silk fabric on his leg, his whole being on the verge of rage.

Gong Lingyu covered his mouth, laughing on the side, with upturned corners of his eyes showing no traces of aging, but rather a youthful carefree spirit.

"I’ve invested so many Star Coins in that research institute? Was it to research Growth Liquid for him? And to hurry up—can’t he buy his own at the Agriculture Academy? He treats one pot of flowers so preciously!" Si Chen struggled to restrain his emotions to avoid cursing aloud.

After getting it all out, he looked at the Empress beside him with a serious expression, somewhat helplessly asking, "Lingyu, what’s going on with Si Yuting lately?"

Gong Lingyu soothingly patted Si Chen’s back, her voice soft, "I don’t know. Let Yuting research if he wants to. After all, after so many years of research, there’s still no clue about the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion."

"Let’s ask Tongtong about it tomorrow. Butler Chi mentioned that Tongtong and Yuting have grown especially close recently," Gong Lingyu smiled meaningfully.

However, the Emperor held a different view, "With his personality, he better not bring up divorce again, with just one month left in the protection period."

"I don’t think so," Gong Lingyu affirmed.

"Let’s talk about it tomorrow, it’s time to sleep," Si Chen said, pulling Gong Lingyu into bed.

The next day, Qu Tong was called to the Imperial Palace.

The Empress first mentioned to Qu Tong that Qu Jianwen had come to the palace yesterday.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, truly admiring their thick skins.

"The reason I’ve called you here is to ask about your attitude," the Empress said, her smile forever dignified and elegant.

"My attitude? I’ve blacklisted them," Qu Tong said, innocently batting her eyelashes.

Gong Lingyu was stunned for a moment but then burst into laughter.

Gong Lingyu clapped Qu Tong on the shoulder, full of admiration, "Well done, Tongtong, I’ll take care of it."

Qu Tong nodded, slightly apologetic, "Mother, I’m sorry for causing you trouble."

"It’s nothing, just a trifle. Don’t worry about it, Tongtong. If you ever need anything, feel free to come to me," Gong Lingyu said heartily.

Qu Tong received the Empress’s goodwill and obediently responded.

"Tongtong, how are you getting along with Yuting?" Gong Lingyu asked again.

This topic clearly pleased the Empress more, and she watched Qu Tong with a smile brimming in her eyes.

"Quite well," Qu Tong replied in agreement.

"That’s good to hear," Gong Lingyu said, nodding with satisfaction. Unsure, she asked again, "Yuting hasn’t been ignoring you, has he?"

Qu Tong thought about it and realized that he really hadn’t.

Every time she needed him, even if he didn’t receive her message right away, he would reply to her later.

Despite his aloofness, he still gave off a very polite impression.

"No, His Highness has been very kind," Qu Tong said sincerely.

"I’ve heard you often send Yuting delicious things and miss him a great deal. Since you’re about to have midterms, how about I ask your father, the Emperor, to let Yuting take a leave so he can come back and keep you company?" the Empress suggested with a meaningful smile.

Qu Tong: ???

Who?

Who’s spreading rumors about her?

When did she miss Si Yuting so much?

When did she want Si Yuting to come back and keep her company?

But to maintain her image, Qu Tong had to offer an apologetic smile, "It’s not necessary to trouble Father Emperor and His Highness over me; I keep in contact with His Highness regularly."

Gong Lingyu, looking at her sensible daughter-in-law, felt a pang of heartache, "Don’t worry, Tongtong. You and Yuting have only met a couple of times since you got married. We’ll make sure he comes back to accompany you this time."

Qu Tong: "...But I have exams to study for."

Qu Tong tried to salvage the situation.

"Ah? You’re taking an exam, Tongtong?" Gong Lingyu asked, surprised.

Qu Tong ventured to ask, "Shouldn’t I participate?"

"Ahem!" Gong Lingyu cleared her throat before explaining,

"The midterm exam at the First Military Academy is conducted in the form of a military tournament, where students will go to the Star Beast Zone to kill star beasts. You can choose not to participate if you want, Tongtong."

Expecting Qu Tong would choose not to participate after hearing this, she was instead met with a serious response from Qu Tong, "I want to participate."

Although surprised, Gong Lingyu appreciated Qu Tong’s tenacious character and did not dissuade her further, instead saying, "Then I’ll have Yuting come back to supervise the exam and protect you as well."

Qu Tong: "..."

There’s no escaping it, is there?
