I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 962 - 358: The Empress’s Surrender! Chen Mo, Don’t You Dare! (Part 2)

"Strange..." He muttered to himself, feeling a bit dizzy, but too lazy to think much more.

On the other side, Li Yuan's situation was even more dire.

Her cheeks were as red as the sunset, her eyes bewildered, and her figure swaying as if at any moment she might fall under the table.

"Commander Li, you're drunk," Xu You said softly.

"I'm not drunk, I can still drink."

Li Yuan was somewhat defiant, wanting to reach for the wine pot but was stopped by Xu You, "Alright, I know you can drink. A little sip for happiness, too much harms the body, don't ruin tomorrow's main business."

"Oh, alright..."

Hearing this, Li Yuan didn't insist further.

Xu You sized her up, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table, suddenly asking, "Commander Li, do you have someone you like?"

"Hmm?" Li Yuan was taken aback by his words and asked puzzled, "Why does Mr. Xu suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing really, just curious." Xu You said indifferently, "I consider Commander Li a friend, that's why I unveil this wound to you, Commander Li doesn't have to say anything if you don't want to..."

"Friend?"

Li Yuan's heart stirred.

To be honest, after serving at the Government for so many years, other colleagues either respected her or stayed away from her, it's the first time someone treats her as a friend.

Moreover, since the other party has revealed private matters to her, it wouldn't make sense for her to keep secrets.

"I... I do have someone I like, but the identity is not convenient to disclose." Li Yuan said in a low voice.

Although this wasn't a secret at the Government, rumor and personal admission are two different things, plus Chen Mo just entered Qilin Pavilion, it wouldn't be good to influence his career over this.

"Good wine, good wine indeed!"

At this time, Chen Mo was drinking cup after cup, completely ignoring the conversation between the two, clearly already intoxicated.

Xu You didn't continue to inquire, he changed the topic, "Then when did you confirm your feelings for each other?"

"To be precise, it should be the first time after handling a case in Linglan County..."

Normally, Li Yuan wouldn't be so trusting of others.

But now under the influence of alcohol and soul power, she had completely let down her guard, unconsciously revealing more and more.

From initially disliking each other, to rescuing each other at critical moments, and even the ordeal in the Imperial Music Bureau, nearly feeding the tiger with oneself... she almost exposed the entire journey of their relationship.

"So that's how it is..."

Xu You's expression was complex, she silently sighed.

As far as she knows, ever since Li Yuan got together with Chen Mo, she quickly rose from General to Hundred Household Officer within months, and now the Deputy Thousand Households position is firmly within her grasp.

In the Fire Department, she is considered second to none.

Initially thought the other party was just clinging to the powerful, relying on Chen Mo's relationship to climb up. But now it seems that's not the case—

Their relationship has experienced life and death more than once, and the emotional foundation is very solid.

"So in saying this, she's the first one to be with Chen Mo... Turns out I'm the 'fox spirit' who seized her man?"

Xu You's eyes grew mournfully sadder as she asked, "Have you ever thought about being his wife?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan shook her head, replied without hesitation, "Never thought about it."

Xu You frowned, "Then if he marries someone else, you wouldn't be upset at all?"

"The two of us were never a perfect match anyway, and besides, the girls around him have significant backgrounds, it's not something I would have a chance at, would I?" Li Yuan bit her lip and said softly, "As long as I have him in my heart, and he has me in his, that's enough."

"I just hope the wife he brings home in the future can be tolerant, allow me to stay by his side, I don't care about titles or anything."

Xu You fell into silence for a moment.

When it comes to feelings, everyone is selfish, she mused that she couldn't achieve this level.

Seems like Li Yuan truly loves Chen Mo to her core.

"Would Mr. Xu think I'm cheap?" Li Yuan hesitated.

"Not at all, actually I understand Commander Li," Xu You sighed, "Truthfully, if someone doesn't really like, who would want to share?"

"That's right..."

Li Yuan wanted to say something more, but her figure swayed again, with a "bang," her forehead hit the table and she fell fast asleep.

And Chen Mo's face was plastered with a silly smile, clapping his hands, "Another one knocked out by the drink, just need practice with food!"

"..."

Xu You gave him a blank look and muttered, "Who knows what virtue you accumulated in your last life, that so many girls are emotionally attached to you..."

"Uh..." Chen Mo seemed to hear this clearly, after thinking for a moment, he mumbled ambiguously, "In my past life, I accumulated Yang Virtue, so this life I accumulate Yang Yang Virtue."

?

Xu You came to her senses, nearly couldn't hold it together.

Bothering not to deal with this guy anymore, she stood up, picked him up, and headed to the bed.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"

"The hour is late, time to sleep."

"Oh."

Chen Mo obediently nodded.

At this moment, Xu You caught sight of a porcelain bottle underneath the table, she lifted her hand and the bottle floated into her palm.

"What's this?"

She brought it to her nose, the scent was quite familiar.

When Chen Mo gave her a foot massage, he used this stuff, it was of silky texture, providing lubrication, it's apparent what these two intended to do.

"If I hadn't come, they might already be..."

"Truly absurd!"

Xu You thought to herself.

Reaching the bedside, she tossed Chen Mo onto the bed, originally intending to leave, but hesitated and decided to sit down beside him.

"Staying a bit longer shouldn't be a problem..."

"Anyway, I've tolerated for so long, can't just allow Commander to set fires and not allow me to light lamps, right?"

Initially, coming out this time, she hoped to spend more time with Chen Mo, but ended up with Li Yuan tagging along, forced to observe a live spring palace for a full day and night...

It's simply self-imposed agony!

The more Xu You thought, the angrier she became, she reached out and twisted his waist fiercely.

"I'm not that magnanimous!"

"You can have other women, but absolutely cannot overshadow me, nor be lovey-dovey in front of me!"

"Hmm?"

Chen Mo groggily opened his eyes.

In his haze, he seemed to see that familiar face he's dreamt of, "Empress?"

?!

Xu You's expression froze, before she could react, she was drawn into his arms.

"You've mistaken me, I'm Xu You..."

"Don't lie to me, this scent can't be wrong, you're indeed Her Majesty the Consort."

Chen Mo buried his face in her neck, inhaling deeply, said muffledly.

Xu You carefully discerned for a moment, realizing he was indeed foggy-minded, only saying drunk words, she then relaxed.

"Empress, are you angry with your humble servant, that's why you're deliberately avoiding me?" Chen Mo asked cautiously.

Mentioning this matter reignited Xu You's fury, she gritted her teeth, "You dare speak of it, do you know how much disgrace you've caused me? To be defeated by Jiang Yuchan... it's all your fault!"

"Your humble servant heard about this, indeed didn't expect it to escalate to this extent, how about I help you massage it?" Chen Mo talked, his hand sliding down her waistline, resting on her rounded curve.

"Hmm—"

Xu You's body trembled slightly, her face flushing deeply, "Stop, I don't need it!"

This moment, Chen Mo felt like he was pressing on something underneath, reached out and grabbed it, struggling to open his sleepy eyes to see clearly, chuckled, "The Empress's mouth is feigning toughness, has even prepared Silky Smooth Grease."

"This wasn't prepared by me..."

Xu You's words were cut short as her mouth was seized.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo's hands skillfully loosened the waistband, exploring the smooth delicate skin beneath.

Xu You wanted to resist, but the red silk on her left wrist sent waves of warmth, incessantly surging at her divine soul, unable to muster any strength whatsoever.

She didn't want Chen Mo and Li Yuan to mess around, but unexpected for Chen Mo to direct mess around with her!

"Don't smear that stuff on me!"

…

…

Outside the room.

Ye Zi'e was draped in an overcoat, her expression conflicted, pacing back and forth.

"That Commander Li's room is empty, she's definitely in Chen Mo's, who knows what the two might be doing now..."

"There's official business tomorrow, should I remind him? Best not to really anger the Empress."

Ye Zi'e made up her mind, reached out to knock on the door.

But just a gentle push, the door creaked open a crack.

"Eh? It's not locked?"
