You are all bad women! Don't come over!

"Ah, no, it's quite charming..." Shen Mochen hastily said to Fuzi.

Fuzi sat across from Shen Mochen with a cold expression, dressed in formal business attire. A white blouse with a black pencil skirt, and a pair of black stockings... the epitome of professionalism.

"Today is your first time coming here." Fuzi crossed her legs and began speaking slowly.

"Ah, right." Shen Mochen nodded.

"Don't look at my legs, look at me!"

"Oh, oh, sorry, I wasn't paying attention..."

Fuzi's eyes flickered, suddenly understanding something, "You seem to be quite good at being cunning."

Shen Mochen's eyelids drooped, "What do you mean?"

Fuzi didn't mind, or rather, couldn't be bothered to care, "Pretending to be dumb is one thing, but if you're really interested in me, you should try to please the master. Everything I have belongs to her, including my body. As long as you win the master's favor, naturally, you'll have me."

Shen Mochen's mouth twitched, "...you make it sound like you're some dowry maid, and besides, if I did fall in love with Kajiena, wouldn't she chop me up and sink my corps in the lake if I told her I wanted to do something with you?"

Fuzi raised an eyebrow, her face showing disappointment, "It's a pity, I didn't manage to fool you."

"What are you trying to fool me into, seeking my own death?"

"If you were killed by the master, it'd be one less obstacle for me."

"What obstacle? You're dangerouse, Miss Fuzi!"

"Aren't you calling me 'perverted Fuzi' anymore today?"@@novelbin@@

"Are you holding a grudge?"

"No, no, no, I rather like that nickname. If you could look more scornful when you call me that, I'd be even more delighted."

Shen Mochen's mouth twitched uncontrollably, damn it, definitely a pervert!

"So, may I ask, Miss Perverted Fuzi, do you have something to tell me?"

Fuzi fell silent for a moment, "The master really looks forward to having friends over to the house. She's never really had any friends, and this is the first time she's invited classmates over."

"Really? I thought she had lots of friends at school."

Shen Mochen recalled the girls who were always behind Catherine, chatting and laughing merrily.

"If you're referring to those who constantly suck up to the master, flattering and fawning over her, then I am sorry, they are not." Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Didn't she have any noble friends back in Roman?"

Fuzi shook her head, "Even in Roman, there weren't many noble children comparable to the master in status, let alone the master getting along poorly with the noble circle in Roman... Of course, I wasn't by the master's side back then, so maybe there truly were one or two friends. However, I can assure you that the master is very much looking forward to today."

Shen Mochen licked his lips, "Why are you telling me all this..."

"Since it's the master's first time receiving guests, she might be a bit awkward, maybe unaware of your commoner's etiquette, but please trust in her intentions, and try to go along with her."

"Your words are so infuriating... And how am I to know if you're just messing with me? What if you're in cahoots with her?"

Fuzi raised her hand, her voice resounding, "I swear, if I am lying to you about this, I'll refrain from sneaking sniffs of the master's worn clothes for a whole year!"

"That consequence... does sound serious indeed..."

Shen Mochen was momentarily expressionless, mechanically nodding. You perverted lunatic, what have you been doing with my girlfriend's clothes!

"I get it... but it's not that big a deal. I get it, as long as she has fun, right?" said Shen Mochen.

"The master hasn't been this happy in a long time. Although you're just a timid bear, she feels very comfortable with you," Fuzi said softly.

Shen Mochen clicked his tongue, "Please don't take the opportunity to make personal attacks, and of course your master is happy making a monkey out of me all day, her happiness is built on my misery!"

Fuzi stared at Shen Mochen's face. "I think it shouldn't be that painful, right? Staying with the master, is it really that uncomfortable?"

After a long silence, Shen Mochen turned his face away. "Sometimes it's quite happy, Kajiena is a good person."

Fuzi stood up. "Then I'll take my leave now, but please remember your promise. Make the master happy today, and I will owe you a favor. Afterwards, I will take off the stockings I am wearing today and give them to you as a thank-you gift."

Shen Mochen held his forehead. "Please don't project onto others; I'm not the same kind of pervert as you are! If you can't think of what to give, just giving money would be fine too!"

"Oh... I saw you sneaking peeks at my thighs and thought you liked stockings. Could it be that you actually want my underwear?"

"You think your brain needs a good soak in disinfectant, I told you not to use your perverted hobbies to guess others'!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a serious person..."

Fuzi looked quite disappointed and prepared to leave.

"By the way, you are dressed quite formally today," Shen Mochen mentioned casually.

"I just learned that a guest was coming, so I changed into this at the last minute."

"Are you talking about me? Actually, there's no need..."

Fuzi's mouth curved into a smile, as he switched the TV channel for Shen Mochen, then turned to leave.

Nestled in the couch watching TV for a while, the sound of light footsteps came from the stairs. Catherine had already finished her shower.

Her pale golden hair naturally fell, and Catherine wore a pure white dress, her exposed calves elegant. She wore beige linen slippers, step by step descending the staircase, with the evening sunlight streaming in from the window behind her, beautiful like an angel from the myths.

"...You're finished showering?" Shen Mochen was slightly distracted and managed a smile as a cover.

"Yes, would you like to eat something?" Catherine came downstairs. "We bought a lot of snacks at the supermarket just now, and Fuzi should be nearly done organizing them."

"No need, I'm not very hungry."

Catherine nodded, sitting down next to Shen Mochen. "Well then, do you want to play chess?"

"Play chess... Sure, but I'm not very good at it. Could you teach me?"

After her shower, the minty fragrance on Catherine's body grew stronger, causing Shen Mochen's heart to skip. He really had no clue what one was supposed to do when visiting a friend's house. Although Liu Bo sometimes invited him over, he always used studying as an excuse to refuse.

It was nothing more than chatting, watching TV, playing games, and such; Catherine was also a beginner in this regard. It seemed like a simple matter to fulfill the Princess's wish to play house. He thought it would not be difficult.

Catherine took out chess from a cabinet, wiped off the dust, and was about to open the box when Fuzi quietly came back over and whispered something in her ear.

Catherine's expression subtly changed upon hearing it. She was silent for a moment, then grinned, "I got it, you go ahead and cook, just for three people."

Fuzi nodded, turned his head to give Shen Mochen a meaningful look.

The rules of chess were very simple, and given Shen Mochen's intelligence, he understood them after one explanation.

"Got it?"

Catherine asked.

"Got it, this is easy!"

Shen Mochen said.

He wasn't being arrogant; he was just very aware of his "playmate" status, and he thought it better for everyone if he lost the game.

"Then let's play chess. We only have one minute to think for each move, and whoever loses has to take off an article of clothing,"

Catherine said, slightly raising her chin with a smile.

"Ah?"

Shen Mochen was stunned.
