Anh Tuan watched the scene before him, at a loss for words.
Darling?
He called Lady Lam "D A R L I N G"?
His eyes widened.
His heart ached a bit.
Unlike exaggerated scenes in romances where someone becomes overly jealous seeing the person they like with someone else.
He wasn't exaggerating.
He simply felt heartbroken.
He silently watched the two of them.
At that moment, Anh Tuan seemed unsure of what he should do.
Meanwhile, Sword of Love picked up some food, gently offering it to Lady Lam.
At the same time, he whispered to her.
"Lam my baby, is my acting convincing?"
Lady Lam chuckled, "Calling me baby? It's passable."
She accepted the piece of meat that Sword of Love brought and began to chew.
"So, did you not reject that guy yet?"
Sword of Love took a piece of meat himself, chewing as he asked.
"I've made it clear long ago, but he's still pursuing me."
Lady Lam just shook her head and sighed.
Tuan Anh didn't do anything wrong or terribly, it's just that Lady Lam wasn't interested.
Feelings aren't something you can force upon someone.
"Well, that's good then. I thought you were being a scumbag female, leading him on with ambiguity," Sword of Love nodded."Ouch!"
"What kind of girl do you think I am?" Lady Lam immediately stomped on his foot.
Sword of Love suppressed the pain, knowing that clutching his foot would give away his reaction.
"That guy over there doesn't look too bad, seems wealthy too. Are you sure you won't give him a chance?"
Lady Lam looked contemplative for a moment before speaking to him.
"I've had a few relationships in the past, but back then, I simply thought if they confessed and I didn't dislike them, then I'd accept."
"There were also times I liked someone, but they only accepted out of indifference."
"In the long run, such relationships are more prone to conflict and arguments. They didn't start with mutual affection."
"They say feelings can develop over time, which is true. But starting without any feelings is like a spring flower blooming hastily in winter."
"Even if it blooms, it won't be the most beautiful it could be."
"Since then, unless I find someone who likes me and I like them, I don't think about love."
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Sword of Love pondered her words for a moment.
"Wow."
"Lady Lam being so deep? I thought you were the type to hit the bar and start flirting— Ouch!"
The sound of Lady Lam's heel was very clear this time.
"Forget it, talking to you is a waste of words."
Slap.
"Alright. Be good, dear."
Sword of Love's hand rested on her head, gently ruffling her hair.
"Sorry for going overboard with the joke."
Lady Lam's face was slightly red, but she turned away as if angry with him, also to hide her face from him.
"For me, love is perhaps a bit more carefree than for you."
"Carefree how?" Lady Lam glanced at him, but didn't fully turn her blushing face.
This jerk, he even dared to ruffle my hair.
Lucky for you it's just acting.
Sword of Love chuckled.
He gently turned her head towards him.
Bringing his face so close to hers.
As if just a slight move would make their faces touch.
His other hand circled around her waist, pulling her gently closer.
"I just trick the person I like into loving me first."
He grinned, revealing a canine tooth that inadvertently showed the wild streak he often displayed on the First World's battlefield.Lady Lam's face was already as red as it could be.
"Y-You...!"
Knock knock.
Huh?
Lady Lam turned around.
Anh Tuan was leaving in a hurry.
His footsteps were somewhat heavy.
"He can't handle the blow."
Sword of Love chuckled.
"So? Did it go well?"
"I'll name this special technique the Deceptive Sword of Love, hehe."
...
.....
Lady Lam's face was as red as a ripe gac fruit.
But a few seconds ago, it was from embarrassment.
Now, it was the redness of anger.
The handbag was snatched from Sword of Love's arm by her.
She swung the bag, causing its metal chain to wrap around her hand.
The metal bottom of the bag gleamed brightly in her hand.
As if it were a steel gauntlet.
"You're dead to me!!!"
"HEY HEY, WHAT IS THIS!?"
"Ahem... Would the two of you down there please keep it down..."
"Help!!""! She's assaulting a pig! Pushing an old woman into the sea!!!" (*)
"That's right! You are a pig!!!!"
Noisy sounds echoed through the party.
"Oh, young love."
Some of the older attendees glanced at the pair and chuckled.
(A funny slang origin from Stephen Chow movie, basically mean commiting horrible crimes )

【Snow Moon: Everyone, help me T ^ T】
She had started to chat on the guild channel, seeking help.
She told the guild about the situation, of course leaving out the part about "a spy with no way out of this secret chamber."
Most members of the guild reacted with "Can't believe it."
【Hau Hau Noodle: Imprisonment play... So that's the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King's interest.】
【KingOfMid: O - O! Hau Hau! You're not old enough! How do you even know about these things!】
【Under the Moon Flag: Hau Hau's lost innocence!】
【Hau Hau Noodle: What are you talking about, I already an adult!!】
【Hana: Hau Hau's lost innocence!】
【Cherished Dream: Hau Hau's lost innocence!】
【Hau Hau's lost innocence!】
【...: Hau Hau's lost innocence!】
【...: Hau Hau's lost innocence!】
【Hau Hau Noodle: You all...】
【Hau Hau Noodle: Are you guys crazy?】
Oh my God.
You're all off-topic!!!
【Snow Moon: I'm really kidnapped! Help me, everyone!!! TT - TT】
【No One: Ok.】
Huh?
What?
No One!?
For some reason, her face blushed a little instinctively.
She recalled what the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King had said earlier.
【Snow Moon: So... How do you plan to rescue me?】
【No One: Connections in high places.】
Oh, right. No One's master is the Heavenly Demon In Black.
Great!
I will definitely secure the Amnesty Order!
【Snow Moon: Thank you, noble hero!】
【Cherished Dream: In this case, the lady has nothing to repay with, except by offering herself, right?】
【Hau Hau Noodle: Tsk, you just enjoyed the riches from the Rich Lady, and now you dare to claim she has nothing to offer but herself? You're courting death.】
【Under the Moon Flag: For any transaction in the guild, you must pay me a 10% tax.】
【Cherished Dream: My mistake, 10% is correct, but as the vice guild leader, it should be paid to me!】
【Snow Moon: O . O ...】
【No One: No need.】
Snow Moon read No One's message and sighed with relief.
If she had to compensate No One for her foolishness, the boss would kill her.
【Snow Moon: See! Don't judge a noble person with the mind of a petty one!】
【Snow Moon: No One, I'm at...wait a moment to check.】
【No One: I said no need, because my master has refused to help already.】
【No One: She only left a message, saying she's too lazy to go.】
What?Heh heh?
This turn of events? It's not right.
【Snow Moon: ...Is there no one who can help me T ^ T】
【Cherished Dream: This petty one dare not.】
【Hau Hau Noodle: This petty one dare not.】
【Under the Moon Flag: This petty one dare not.】
【KingOfMid: This petty one dare not.】
Damn it.
Snow Moon cried out in anguish in the Secret Chamber.
Is there anyone who can save meee!
In the vast secret chamber, the echoes rebounded.
No...
No...
No...
