"Take things too hard?"

Eden paused, taken aback.

What can a ghost like Liu Bai do if he can't think straight? Can he die again?

Hmm... okay, if Liu Bai really has a specific purpose in falling for someone else, then not to mention himself, Mobius will definitely turn evil.

At that time, it would be a disaster for Liu Bai to fall for anyone. On the contrary, now that everyone is treated equally, at least everyone gets a share, and everyone has something to rely on so that no one will go to extremes.

"You know, the kind where blood flows like a river... Is Miss Eden very interested in romance?"

"A little, after all, I'm twenty-seven this year." Eden maintained his indifferent expression.

"Hmm... that sounds vaguely familiar." Elysia rested her chin on her hand, recalling Mobius's demeanor. "But speaking of which, I don't actually have much dating experience... and my limited dating experience probably doesn't apply to you, Miss Eden, since my boyfriend is surrounded by all sorts of beautiful girls with quirky personalities..."

"I really admire your open-minded attitude, Elysia."

Perhaps out of admiration, Eden has already omitted the somewhat unfamiliar honorifics.

"It's just because I like both pretty girls and my boyfriend..."

Elysia scratched her face somewhat embarrassedly.

"And... when you're doing that kind of thing with your boyfriend, having another or several beautiful girls around will probably boost your mood and efficiency, right?"

Eden: "??????"

Eden moved his chair away from Elysia silently—you dare to say others aren't decent people? You're the most indecent one yourself!

It's only because you're a pretty girl that I'm calling the police right now!

"Please don't say that, Miss Eden! I finally mustered up the courage to tell you all this!"

Elysia witnessed Eden's distancing behavior, which made Elysia blush deeply.

"Cough... I was just a little startled." Eden's expression was strange.

She truly hadn't expected that Elysia would have such a broad perspective.

Compared to Elysia's way of thinking, Eden felt that his perspective was too narrow, which also made Eden feel that it was necessary to implement a separation policy between Liu Bai and Elysia.

What man could resist a girlfriend who doesn't mind her boyfriend cheating on her, and might even be happy about it?

"Haha... Yeah, you'd definitely be scared..." Elysia was even more embarrassed. She had gotten a little carried away discussing this topic with Eden and had spoken without thinking in her excitement—although it was the truth of her words.

"I'm starting to think that you Elysia, might also be one of those 'weird and beautiful girls' who are attracted to your boyfriend."

"I can't deny it at all... I can't deny it at all~" Elysia nodded helplessly.

"Alright, let's skip this topic for now."

Eden rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.

As it was their first meeting as colleagues, Eden had to admit that Elysia made a very good impression on her, even giving her the feeling that they could become best friends.

As it was their first meeting as rivals in love... Eden had a lot of complaints he wanted to vent.

However, it must be admitted that although Elysia is very threatening in terms of conditions, she may be the safest in terms of subjective initiative.

"Let's get back on track—Miss Elysia, what are your plans for your future career as an idol?"

"Planning?"

"It's like creating a persona or packaging."

"As for the character design... a yandere maid?" Elysia thought for a moment and made a suggestion that Eden hadn't expected.

"... I think this is completely inappropriate—maids might be suitable, but yandere or something like that is out of the question."

"Yeah, I just mentioned it casually, like the 'royal idol' thing?"

Eden looked Elysia up and down. "This is quite suitable. Elysia, are you better at dancing or singing?"

Sakura glanced at the two who were already engrossed in their discussion and silently shrank back.

Have these two forgotten that there's someone else standing next to them?

Sakura, who had already entered a state of breath control, was slightly flustered.

Did these two just say something completely out of touch with traditional morality and ethics?

Although Sakura is taciturn, she is not ignorant of social etiquette!

I clearly heard something I shouldn't have!

And the boss... isn't this Miss Elysia also someone the boss has a romantic debt to?

What Eden could discover, Sakura also discovered after a while, after all, she wasn't like Pardo, that girl who completely gave up thinking.

Therefore, Sakura felt that she might need to find a way to distance herself from the situation.

"Ling should be out of school by now, I should go pick her up..."

Sakura muttered to herself as she silently moved her hands and feet—she didn't want to be killed to silence her for knowing too much.

However, as he moved, he recalled Elysia's powerful speech.

"Efficiency and mood... well, never mind, that doesn't seem like something an employee like me should be thinking about..."

Sakura sighed silently.

Thinking back, she should have been more astute and chosen to repay the debt of gratitude by marrying him.

Three years ago, Sakura would never have offered to repay a debt of gratitude by marrying Liu Bai. Even if Liu Bai had offered, Sakura would probably have hesitated for a long time before reluctantly giving in.

However, over the past three years, Sakura's biggest regret is why she wasn't bolder back then—although even if she had mentioned Liu Bai, he might not have agreed, since although her conditions were not bad, she didn't stand out much in Liu Bai's eyes.

However... if I had been bolder back then, would my relationship with my boss... Liu Bai be closer now?

So... what about now?

Chapter 351 Eden Loses Its Deer, and the World Chases After It

"Ring, we have a new guest at home today, named Elysia. Remember to say hello when you see her."

On the way home after picking up Rin, Sakura casually remarked as she drove.

"Oh..." Ling, carrying her schoolbag, nodded thoughtfully. "So, what's her relationship with the boss?"

Sakura shuddered in the driver's seat, almost instinctively flooring the accelerator.

"Hey! Ling, why are you asking this?"

Sakura, who was sweating profusely, slowed down the car.

"Just ask, why are you reacting so strongly, sis?" Ling, sitting in the passenger seat, gave her sister, who was driving, a playful smile.

Sakura glanced at her younger sister out of the corner of her eye. The sister looked about 70% like her when she was a child, but was much more lively and outgoing. Sakura felt a lot of pressure.

"Could it be... that she really is having an affair with the boss's brother?"

"Kids aren't allowed to say things like 'having an affair'! Who taught them that?"

"I learned it from Sister Vil-V ~!" Ling said confidently, puffing out her still-developing chest.

"You only learn bad things and not good ones!" Sakura pulled her hand away and gave Rin a sharp tap on the head. "Learn from your sister Vil-V's wisdom, don't be crazy like her!"

"Hmm~~ Judging from my sister's reaction, the new customer must be having an affair with the boss, right?"

"Don't use such vulgar language!"

Sakura stubbornly tapped Rin's head, but this gesture was enough for Rin, her sister with whom she depended for survival, to understand everything without saying a word.

"Fine, I won't tell you then~"

Ling had no respect whatsoever for her stern-faced older sister.

"So, what's Sister Vil-V's reaction right now?"

"Her? She definitely won't react," Sakura replied helplessly, withdrawing her hand.

My younger sister has been growing up a bit crookedly over the past three years.

"What about Sister Eden?"

"She... she and that person seem to get along quite well?"

"And what about you, sister?"

"Why... why do you ask so many questions!?"

Sakura reacted quickly and didn't let Rin's trick succeed.

"Just ask, sis. If you don't hurry up, it'll be too late. Brother Liu Bai is super popular."

"What do you mean by 'going for love'? I'm not a love-struck person, and stealing someone else's love is not in line with our family tradition."

"Sis, if you don't catch up soon, you might not even catch up with Sister Vil-V."

Ling looked at her slow-witted older sister with a troubled expression.

"Vil-V?" Sakura was taken aback. "Vil-V wouldn't care about something like that, would she? Besides, in terms of relationship... Vil-V and the boss aren't close. Aside from business, you never see them going in and out together."

"But Sister Vil-V's work takes her three or four days at a time in the lab. How can you compare to her? Besides, who told you that what you see is necessarily true?"

Ling pouted.

"Let me tell you, Sister Vil-V has definitely had her eye on Brother for a long time. If it weren't for Sister Eden keeping things in check, Sister Vil-V would have pounced on him already."

"So you know about your sister Eden!"

Having said that, Sakura stopped pretending and said in an annoyed tone.

The main reason is that Eden and Liu Bai are too close, and Eden has a rather domineering air about her.

In this situation, she felt a certain moral guilt about wanting to get involved.

But does Vil-V really have feelings for Vil-V Liu Bai?

Sakura recalled her daily life in ELM and felt that Vil-V and Liu Bai were more like close friends who were always bickering, and there was no trace of the awkwardness of a romantic relationship between them.

But what if what Ling said is true? Then wouldn't Liu Bai and Vil-V's situation be a little bad?

"... By the way, Ling, why don't you talk about your sister Pardo?"

"Because Sister Pardo is stupid!"

"..."

That brat...

Achoo—!

Pardo was completely sunken into the large sofa, suddenly sneezed.

"Why do I feel like someone's talking badly about us?"

Still wearing her pajamas Pardo lazily got up from the sofa, walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a pudding.

"Even though I didn't do anything today, I still treated myself to a hard day. I'll treat myself to some pudding!"

"Ling, you go back first, I'll go park the car."

Sakura opened the car door, signaling to Rin, that brat, to get lost.

My younger sister is exactly like me, except for her face.

Is there a problem with our own educational policies?

I should have just handed it over to the boss; that way, they could have had more in common to talk about...

No, no! Sakura, what are you thinking?! How can you use your younger sister as a tool for romance?

After Ling got off the bus, Ying looked up with a bit of frustration... Well, she had to admit that what Ling had said to her today was something she couldn't ignore, and now her mind was filled with it.

Why does this happen?

Because of Miss Elysia's shocking remarks?
