This Is My Planet - Chapter 51 - Chapter 51 – Yin Family’s Son-In-Law Forget It!
The first thing that caught her eye was the familiar round face of Fat Tiger, who lunged with a fierce “rawr,” almost leaping out of the screen.
Today’s video simulation technology is so advanced that once you start the video, it feels like you’re there, participating in the scene.
But Yin Xiaoru immediately snapped out of it, resisting the urge to punch that chubby face, and kept watching.
The camera shifted to a frightened girl with a pitiful expression, her eyes reflecting Fat Tiger’s round face.
The next moment, everything spun as a handsome guy jumped in from the side, knocking the girl to the ground. The camera slowed down, the music softened, and the reflection of the tiger’s face in the girl’s eyes turned into a handsome face with starry eyes, gazing intently.
The handsome man and beautiful woman rolled around, the camera following their movements, and Yin Xiaoru’s eyes were fixed, finally freezing on the moment when Ling Moxue’s red lips brushed against Xia Guixuan’s cheek.
The music reached a climax.
So beautiful, so full of love… Wait, no!
“Xia! Gui! Xuan!” Yin Xiaoru flipped the table: “You came with me to the capital just to get close to a big star? And you even rolled around with her!”
Xia Guixuan gave her a strange look: “You suggested I try acting. I thought it made sense, so I gave it a shot.”
“You’re really something.” Yin Xiaoru gritted her teeth: “Other people don’t even know how to get through the door to audition, but you land the lead role right away and even break Ling Moxue’s no-romance rule. Look at her eyes, they’re practically dripping! Did you serve her particularly well last night?”
Xia Guixuan paused the video, carefully examining Ling Moxue’s eyes to confirm: “No moisture.”
The little fox was aggrieved: “You eat my food, stay in my house, then go out and flirt. And now you’ve hooked up with a big star!”
Even I haven’t experienced that…
“Where do you see me flirting with her?”
It’s clearly the other way around, right?
Yin Xiaoru angrily grabbed his collar: “I’m not going back. You’re just a clueless little demon who just came down from the mountain. Do you even know that actors need agents? From today, I’m your agent. Show me your contract to make sure you’re not being cheated!”
Xia Guixuan felt she wasn’t becoming an agent, but a little fox guarding her food, looking all vigilant and ready to tear into Ling Moxue.
Really, since when did I become your food, you silly husky?
As they stared at each other, an electronic announcement came from outside: “The Minister of Finance is visiting, proposing marriage to the Yin family, asking for Miss Xiaoru’s hand. The main hall is in session, please proceed there, Miss Xiaoru.”
Yin Xiaoru was stunned: “Who? I don’t even know him!”
Xia Guixuan laughed: “You accuse me of flirting, but you’re not any less charming.”
Yin Xiaoru paused, then suddenly said: “Aren’t you angry at all?”
Xia Guixuan was taken aback, initially thinking there was nothing to be angry about… but then realized he was a bit annoyed.
The main reason was, Yin Xiaoru already had a “boyfriend” by her side, whether real or just a role, the Yin family didn’t comment, even Yin Ping was silent, and Brother Xiang’s system didn’t react. Yet outsiders kept showing up, it’s really irritating, as if I don’t exist.
Don’t I deserve some respect?
Yes, that’s the reason.
Xia Guixuan put away the video screen, stood up with a serious face, and said, “Let’s go out and take a look.”
Seeing his expression, Yin Xiaoru suddenly smiled, her previous anger gone, and she linked arms with him as they walked out: “I don’t know this person at all, it must be because I performed so well today and showed my face… After all, I’m so beautiful, it’s normal for people not to be blind.”
Xia Guixuan: “…”
“And then there are those who think the Yin family might have some connection with the Gongsun family, which makes things even more appealing…” As Yin Xiaoru spoke, she started to feel a bit troubled. “If that’s the case, this kind of thing will never end. I shouldn’t have come to the capital; it would have been much better to hide in Sangyu.”
Xia Guixuan said indifferently, “Just need to make them back off.”
“You want to beat people up?” Yin Xiaoru thought for a moment. “Actually, that’s doable. It’s not good for the family to clash with officials casually, but rivalries over love are quite normal. The martial spirit of Great Xia is different from the society of the home planet. As long as you can fight, you can scare off a lot of people.”
“Why do I get the feeling that you’re eager for me to go out and beat people up for you?”
Yin Xiaoru kept a stern face, but inside she was smiling.
She wasn’t even sure why she felt this way.
When they arrived at the main hall where discussions were held earlier, they saw a man with a goatee sitting in the guest seat, smiling at Yin Yi. “I just learned today that your family has such an outstanding younger member like Miss Xiaoru. Her business in Sangyu is flourishing, and she is beautiful, polite, and has integrity, standing up to the Zhou family… My son saw her and has been unable to eat or sleep…”
Next to him, a young man was displaying a poised and expectant look.
Yin Yi smiled and said, “Xiaoru has a boyfriend.”
The man with the goatee waved his hand dismissively. “We’ve heard about that. According to the records, he’s a retainer the Yin family has raised since childhood? Forgive my bluntness, but that seems quite inappropriate…”
Xia Guixuan glanced sideways at Yin Xiaoru, who awkwardly cleared her throat. She had insisted on making him a family retainer to maintain a superior status, and now it was causing trouble. But honestly, it was difficult to come up with a fictional identity; what else could he have been?
Yin Xiaoru, unable to hold back, stepped forward boldly. “Who I choose to date is none of your business. Who are you to decide what’s appropriate? If you think you’re more suited for some other family’s daughter, why not go ask them?”
The young man, instead of being offended, praised her, “It’s exactly this wild nature that makes her so captivating…”
Yin Xiaoru: “…”
I’m not wild. Yan Wuyue is. Why don’t you go after her instead?
She didn’t say it aloud. The young man pointed at Xia Guixuan beside her. “Just a mere retainer, taking advantage of being close to the young lady day and night, might have some familiarity. The young lady will realize in time, this is not love…”
Xia Guixuan found it amusing. “And you think just coming here and saying a few words is love?”
The young man said, “She spoke to me as soon as she came out. That shows she has some feelings for me. If we spend more time together, and I treat her sincerely, she will soon forget about you.”
Xia Guixuan was taken aback.
Yin Xiaoru’s eyes curved with a smile as she whispered in his ear, “Men don’t need to be lied to; they lie to themselves.”
Xia Guixuan responded irritably, “You seem quite pleased with yourself.”
“Hmph.” Yin Xiaoru was indeed a bit pleased, not because the other guy was deceiving himself, but because Xia Guixuan looked upset. He was jealous, wasn’t he? He had to be.
As the two whispered to each other, the others couldn’t stand it any longer.
The man with the goatee said calmly, “The Yin family has been a distinguished and well-known family since their immigration to Azure Dragon Star, having made significant contributions to Great Xia. The considerations for the family’s future should focus on a broader perspective. The benefits of an alliance with someone of insight versus taking a family servant as a live-in son-in-law should be easy to discern.”
Live-in son-in-law…
Before Yin Xiaoru could retort, laughter suddenly came from outside. “The three-year promise has come to an end. Yin family son-in-law? Forget it!”
Everyone turned to look and saw Ling Moxue striding in.
The faces of the man with the goatee and the young man changed drastically. Who was Ling Moxue? She was the granddaughter of the senator, the hottest star on this planet, driving countless men crazy, and even meeting her was a rare privilege.
Including the Finance Minister’s son—if Ling Moxue smiled at him, he might faint from joy.
What did she mean by coming here and saying such a thing?
Could this man really be some kind of war god?
While they were in shock, Yin Xiaoru’s face also changed, and she instinctively stepped in front of Xia Guixuan.
This vixen, I haven’t even dealt you yet for flirting on-screen, and you’re already here to steal my man?
This opponent was terrifying. Comparing Xia Guixuan to the Finance Minister’s son was no contest—Xia Guixuan would win hands down. But if she, Yin Xiaoru, were compared to Ling Moxue, it would be her, Yin Xiaoru, who would be crushed!
What to do, what to do?
Fox, in danger!
