Chapter 272: Chapter 271 The Highest Realm of Building a Snowman

Gong Yun rushed back to Capital Star overnight, confirmed the authenticity of the news, and was just as thrilled.

The meeting continued until the early morning hours before Si Chen finally had time to rest.

Relevant personnel were ordered not to mention anything about Niannian’s physique to the outside world.

Although the Royal Family intended to suppress the news, families with some power still heard some rumors, but it did not cause much of an uproar.

Qu Tong received concern from Commander Gong and a generous gift.

However, Qu Tong regretfully told Gong Yun that RA7745 could not be produced in greater quantities at the moment, and to wait for the future.

One couldn’t blame her for being selfish. Not liking the elixir was one thing, but more importantly, she was already attracting enough attention and saw no need to take this risk.

It was only for Niannian because she appreciated the kindness and protective nature of the Si Family.

It was her way of giving something back.

Gong Yun wasn’t too disappointed with the answer, as he had been mentally prepared from the start.

He sincerely expressed that they should reach out for any help needed at any time.

Although they didn’t receive even better news, the existing news was enough to make everyone very happy.

They had already been discussing throwing another birthday party for Niannian’s second birthday early.

Qu Tong thought Niannian would come to Yuelan Bay with the Crown Princess Consort and the Empress but didn’t expect Niannian to be sent over by her bodyguards alone.

Fortunately, Niannian’s maid came along, and Butler Chi was very fond of the Little Princess.

Niannian was a good child, but Qu Tong really didn’t know how to take care of children, although she managed to entertain Niannian adequately.

Qu Tong could only ask for advice from the Empress and the Crown Princess Consort.

In the course of conversation, the Empress brought up the previous suggestion made with Si Yuting, "Tongtong, we’ve asked Xinxin and Yufan before, if they have a second child, it could be adopted by you and Yuting. What do you think about this?"

The Empress asked very carefully and with great respect for Qu Tong’s opinion.

Qu Tong was stunned for a moment, having completely forgotten about this matter.

Her gaze shifted to Niannian, who was playing with LEGO on the lawn with Butler Chi. She had to admit, Niannian was well-behaved, though she wasn’t sure if the child would become restless over time.

The thought of adopting someone else’s child felt odd, but what if Si Yuting liked the idea?

Qu Tong didn’t rush to refuse, "It’s all fine with me, I’ll follow His Highness’s wishes."

The Empress felt reassured hearing that Qu Tong had no reservations, "You’re still young, there’s no hurry. You should enjoy your life. We just wanted to mention it in advance, and when Xinxin and the others have news, we’ll ask for your opinions then."

After sharing some heartfelt words with Qu Tong, the Empress ended the communication, and Qu Tong went downstairs to accompany Niannian.

After a full day, it turned out that there were no children who didn’t make a fuss, it was just a matter of how much.

Thankfully, Niannian stayed for only three days before leaving.

Before departing, Niannian clutched Qu Tong’s hand, expressing her reluctance to leave.

"Auntie, the food you make is really delicious. I’ll make it for you when I grow up."

Qu Tong smiled and patted Niannian’s head. After a few meals together, Niannian had switched to the more affectionate title of auntie.

One could tell she was a little foodie right away.

After seeing off Niannian, Qu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She decided to advise Si Yuting that if he wanted to adopt children, it would be better to do it later.

The fertility values of the Crown Princess Consort and the Crown Prince were not low; they should be able to have several children.

The third or fourth child would also be an option.

Now she was going back to sleep; taking care of children might look effortless, but that was only the appearance.

What Qu Tong didn’t know was that Si Yuting occasionally checked the home surveillance and had seen Qu Tong patiently entertaining Niannian the past two days.

Even the thick-skinned Xiong Lie noticed that his boss seemed preoccupied these past few days, but aside from Cheng Feng, no one dared to joke with the boss.

The winters on Capital Star were not cold, but there was snow, falling this morning.

The snow fell gently and steadily for half a day, piling up a thick layer.

Just as Qu Tong was about to invite Rong Yueqing to go out and play in the snow, a message from Rong Yueqing came through first.

"The Prince’s Consort sister, have you seen my brother?" Anxiety tinged Rong Yueqing’s voice.

Qu Tong felt puzzled, "Isn’t your brother always elusive and hard to find?"

"My brother hasn’t come to pick up his elixir for this month. He usually doesn’t wait this long, so I’m a bit worried about him," Rong Yueqing explained.

Qu Tong scrolled through the chat history on her two Light Brains but found no messages from Rong Chengjue. She replied truthfully, "I haven’t been out much recently, so I haven’t been in contact with your brother."

"Okay, thank you, sister The Prince’s Consort. I’ll keep looking," said Rong Yueqing, still polite in her gratitude.

As Rong Yueqing was looking for her brother and Wen You couldn’t leave the Army Affiliated Residence freely, Qu Tong went out to play by herself.

Gu Xiu and the others wanted to follow her, but Qu Tong refused.

She just wandered around the vicinity without going far.

In her previous life, Qu Tong never lived such a leisurely life. She had seen snow during missions, even lying in it for an entire day, but had never played in the snow.

Seeing a bench in the park, an idea suddenly sprang to Qu Tong’s mind, recalling a video she had once seen unintentionally with a beautiful copy: "This time, Goddess Shui Bi is not in the underwater city but waiting in the great snow for Xi Feng."

So she decided to build one; it shouldn’t be hard since she had experience with sculpture before.

Donning a cape made of snow fox fur, Qu Tong stayed in the snow for an hour.

The snow continued to fall from the sky, covering her head and face, almost blending her into the snowy scenery, with her pale fingertips reddened slightly by the cold.

Qu Tong shook off the snow from her clothes and looked at her creation on the bench, quite satisfied—it had the right touch.

She opened her Light Brain and took a short video of a few seconds, then sent it to Si Yuting.

Qu Tong: [Your Highness, it’s snowing.]

Within a few seconds, Si Yuting replied: [Are you outside alone? Is it cold?]

Qu Tong, sitting beside the snowman, replied: [So cold, so are you coming back for the New Year, Your Highness?]

The top of the screen showed that the other party was typing for quite a while, and after a long moment, she received three words: [It depends.]

Qu Tong snorted.

Immediately after came another message: [Go back early, I will ask Uncle Chi to come pick you up with the hovercar.]

Qu Tong indeed felt a bit chilly and obediently replied: [Okay, thank you, Your Highness.]

Qu Tong waited for Butler Chi on the spot and also shared the video online.

Within minutes, Butler Chi accurately located her; the park’s signpost was in her video.

Butler Chi came down from the spaceship, covering his mouth in surprise: [Madam, did you build this? It’s so beautiful!!]

The answer was obvious—the park was right beneath the office building of his lordship’s company, and since it was holiday time, the park was void of other people.

Butler Chi excitedly circled the snow sculpture, taking various photos and videos.

While Qu Tong returned to Yuelan Bay for a hot bath,

Butler Chi came up beaming, informing her that the snowman she built had gone viral.

In a few hours, the videos spread across the internet, with many people sharing and commenting.

Even Rice Ball shared her video, accompanied by a beautiful copy:

[Every detail is carved so perfectly, especially the hair and the trailing long gauze behind. Despite the chill of the snow falling on her, the goddess sits with dignity, her eyes lowered and lips slightly parted, with a hint of sorrow.]

Online, there were many showcasing their snow sculptures: some built two large spherical ones, some created small animals, and there were even Ultraman structures.

But none received as many comments as the videos of Qu Tong and Butler Chi.

[Been single for so long, even a snowman looks refined and elegant to me.]

[I think it has nothing to do with you being single for too long—it simply is refined and elegant.]

[This must be the ultimate realm of building a snowman.]

[Awesome! Each one is more incredible than the last.]

[The Prince’s Consort only needs to make a slight effort to make a whole bunch of netizens feel inferior.]

[My girlfriend built a poop-shaped snowman and insisted that I take a bite.]
