TSFLIP Chapter 521

Feng Guang tilted her head and huffed, “You can’t blame me for being a foodie. If my stomach says it’s hungry, what am I supposed to do?”

“You’re right. Feng Guang is a foodie, but that’s not her fault,” Xu Wang echoed, his voice filled with so much affection it could make your heart race and your face flush.

She pretended to play coy, avoiding his gaze as she finished the last bite of her ice cream. But the moment it was gone, she couldn’t resist anymore—she leaned in and slipped her arm through his.

Xu Wang looked down at her and smiled, a gentle, heart-melting smile that made the entire street scene fade into the background.

Feng Guang stared at him in a daze for a long moment, then smiled too. “Xu Wang,” she said softly, “I’m happy I got to meet you in this world.”

“No, the best thing,” Xu Wang said with a small upward curl of his lips, “is that you ended up by my side.”

It was rare for him to show this much contentment, but lately, the feeling had been growing stronger each time they were together. It was an emotion he couldn’t control—just like the pull of her pheromones, addictive and dangerous, like poppies in bloom.

Just as Xu Wang was thinking about wrapping his arms around her and teleporting them back to the hotel, a figure suddenly burst out of the crowd and ran straight toward them, shouting, “Feng Guang, help me!”

It was Nan Xiaoxiao. Before she could throw herself at Feng Guang, Xu Wang pulled Feng Guang a step to the side, and Nan Xiaoxiao lunged at thin air. She tried again to grab onto Feng Guang, but when she caught sight of the man beside her—and the cold shift in his expression—she froze in place, no longer daring to make a move.

Before Feng Guang could even ask what was going on, several men dressed in black pushed their way through the crowd. They didn’t look friendly. The one in front said, “Miss Nan, please come with us.”

“No! I’m not going back!” Nan Xiaoxiao shouted. And since she couldn’t cling to Feng Guang, she simply ducked behind her and whispered, “They work for Chen Yu—the Empire’s Minister of Internal Affairs. He wants to mark me. Feng Guang, I don’t want to go with them. Please help me…”

Nan Xiaoxiao knew full well that Feng Guang didn’t have the power to take on these men herself. The one she was asking for help was the man beside her. She knew just how dangerous this man—whether he went by Ye Mo or Xu Wang—was. Even though Yan Yu had called him a threat, Nan Xiaoxiao had no other choice left.

If he liked Feng Guang that much, and if Feng Guang wanted to help her, surely he wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

Nan Xiaoxiao’s sudden appearance caught both of them off guard—Feng Guang hadn’t expected to run into her again so soon, and Xu Wang couldn’t figure out how she’d managed to escape that prison planet.

What Xu Wang didn’t know… was that there’s a thing called “main character plot armor.”

Even though she had a million questions, Feng Guang knew now wasn’t the time to ask. She understood exactly what “marking” meant—and when one side didn’t agree to it, how was it any different from **?

If she saw a total stranger being forced into something like that, her conscience wouldn’t let her walk away—she might even grab the nearest brick and go charging in. And Nan Xiaoxiao… well, they were friends. Sort of.

“Miss Nan, please don’t make this difficult for us,” one of the men said, sounding like a bodyguard. He hadn’t realized there was another woman present, thanks to Feng Guang’s pheromone suppressant bracelet and Xu Wang’s ability clouding their perception. “The Minister genuinely cares for you. Please come with us. If you refuse… we’ll have to use force.”
