Transmigrated as a Rare Female: Beast Husbands Love Me Exclusively-Chapter 142: Perfunctory

"Relying on just him, a single robot, I’m afraid there might be many mishaps that day. It would be better to discuss this with Marshal Lu, maybe he could help a bit on that day."

Ruan Li nodded, "Let me ask my brother when he’ll be back."

After calling Lu Mufeng, Ruan Li learned he would return tomorrow and decided to wait till then to discuss it.

Xu Mo had already leaned against Ruan Li’s neck, gently holding her waist, "Tonight, it’s my turn, right?"

Ruan Li instinctively glanced at Zhe Ye, the man’s gaze darkened slightly.

"If that’s the case, then I’ll accompany you tomorrow."

Seeing Zhe Ye had already made arrangements, Ruan Li pinched Xu Mo’s cheek, "No one’s competing with you."

It was now around eight or nine o’clock, not considered late. After washing up, Ruan Li sat on the edge of the bed playing games.

After Xu Mo took a shower, wearing loose pajamas, he emerged and saw Ruan Li playing some game with such focus that she didn’t even notice him speaking to her.

Therefore, he approached and leaned partially against her, "What are you playing?"

Only then did Ruan Li hear him, trying to divert some attention from the house she just built, "It’s a management simulation game."

Xu Mo pointed at the house on the screen, "Is this your little cabin? Why is it drafty?"

Ruan Li: "Don’t rush, I’m still gathering materials; I haven’t built the door yet."

Xu Mo stood next to her for a while, looking for something to say, "What’s the rabbit for? Why are you raising so many rabbits and not a fox?"

Ruan Li: "...These are the oxen and horses I caught, to help me work."

Xu Mo: "Then why don’t you catch a fox?"

Ruan Li held back: "Because rabbits are the basic livestock, catching a fox requires skill points."

Xu Mo could sense her irritation and felt a little aggrieved, "This game is so fun, yet you’re ignoring me, even though I’m right here."

"Don’t worry, I’m just playing temporarily, I’ll stop once I get bored."

Xu Mo waited another half-hour, seeing Ruan Li still engrossed in the game, he eventually reached out and forcefully shut it down for her.

"Wait! Let me save first!" Ruan Li exclaimed, seeing Xu Mo’s slightly serious expression, she pouted, "Xu Mo, I promise I won’t play anymore, just let me save quickly."

She pinched her fingers, gesturing a little bit.

Xu Mo watched her as she saved and shut down the game.

Then he snorted coldly, "After waiting so long, only now do you remember me."

Ruan Li glanced at the time, it was already past ten, knowing she was somewhat in the wrong, she started coaxing him, "How could I forget? I’ve been thinking of you all along, even when I was playing I was paying attention to you."

Xu Mo crossed his arms, "You were obviously just perfunctory, attitude perfunctory, words perfunctory, you didn’t even look at me."

Ruan Li knew this was just the little fox competing for attention, he wouldn’t genuinely be angry.

Hence, Ruan Li leaned closer and suddenly kissed his cheek.

"Is this better?"

Xu Mo’s eyebrows softened, but he still pretended not to be placated, "It’s not that simple, and anyway, that doesn’t even count as a kiss."

Ruan Lile, amused, held his face and kissed him with a smack, "Is that sufficient?"

Xu Mo tried to suppress his rising smile, "Barely, but that’s just compensating for your indifference. I waited over an hour, you haven’t compensated for that."

Ruan Li smiled, "How do you want me to compensate then?"

Xu Mo coughed lightly, "Then kiss me three more times."

Ruan Li quickly brushed his cheek three times.

Xu Mo: "That doesn’t count."

"Don’t push your luck."

Xu Mo supported her lower back, bending down to press his lips against hers.

Ruan Li was breathless before being released, Xu Mo touched her flushed face, "Continuing like this and things might get out of hand."

Leaning closer, "Ruannuan, let me touch the baby."

"There’s no baby yet. The baby hasn’t grown up."

Xu Mo’s palm gently caressed her soft little belly: "The baby is here, no wonder your tummy grew a bit."

Ruan Li thought, the little one is still so small, this is clearly from overeating these days.

Xu Mo kissed her little belly, then hugged her as they turned off the lights to sleep.

Ten days later, the weather suddenly became overcast.

The location for the Empire and Federation’s diplomatic ceremony was shifted from the reception hall to the grand hall in the city center, announced with permission for residents to watch from outside.

Ruan Li initially didn’t want to join the bustle but suddenly felt uneasy and told Bai He she wanted to take a look.

Bai He: "With such a major event today, the outside will surely be chaotic. Just in case, better not go out."

Ruan Li: "Precisely because something major will happen, I feel uneasy."

Shi Jue and Zhe Ye were involved in order maintenance, so they weren’t home.

Bai He summoned the other Beast Husbands in the family to accompany Ruan Li, to prevent any danger.

Inside the grand hall, the Queen wore a bright red dress, chatting eloquently with the Federation’s Ritual Officer and Commander, exuding authority.

A throng surrounded the hall, layers on the inside and outside.

This wasn’t just a friendly diplomatic exchange between the Empire and Federation, but also an opportunity for more citizens to learn that the interstellar is stable, no need for undue worries,

Ruan Li stood far away in the outer circle, caught sight of a few prominent figures inside the grand hall from afar.

To her surprise, she saw a familiar figure.

Ruan Li rubbed her eyes, thinking she might have seen wrong.

But looking again, she couldn’t see the figure’s face directly.

"Did dust get in your eyes?" Bai He had been paying attention to Ruan Li and saw her rubbing her eyes, thinking she felt discomfort.

Ruan Li shook her head, "No, just a bit sore."

Bai He: "The weather outside is cold, perhaps you should go back?"

Ruan Li had already been outside watching for over half an hour, not noticing anything unusual for now; furthermore, Marshal Lu was inside, ensuring nothing adverse would happen.

Ruan Li nodded, Xi Han took her hand and pulled her into his embrace, surrounded by four Beastmen.

However, just as they walked away a few steps, the crowd suddenly erupted in screams.

"Fierce Beast! The Fierce Beast is here again!"

The fierce beast had totally lost its senses, fiercely attacking the defenseless Beastmen, creating chaos among the crowd.

Xi Han held Ruan Li tightly, "Quickly go! If any issue arises with all these people, it’ll be troublesome!"

The madly fleeing crowd approached, fortunately the fierce beast hadn’t rushed this way; Ruan Li felt the tension as well.

Xu Mo protected Ruan Li, "You go first, I’ll hold them off behind."

The surging crowd was an unstoppable tide; Xu Mo shielded Ruan Li and the others while also monitoring surrounding threats.

Noticing they had left the city center, Xi Han’s pace slowed slightly.

Ruan Li poked her head out of his embrace, "Wen moved so quickly already?"
