In the room next to Zhou Yuan’s,
After returning to his room, Asta hesitated for a while before finally dialing his uncle Edwin’s communicator.
In the Andra family, the current head is not Asta, but his uncle Edwin. Although Asta currently holds a higher position than his uncle, according to the inheritance rights, he must wait for his uncle to step down before taking over all the power of the Andra family.
So, if Asta wants to ensure Zhou Yuan’s complete safety, he needs to seek Edwin’s support.
What makes Asta hesitant is that his biological father died early, and his stepfather never cared for him, especially after his biological father’s death.
For over a decade after his biological father’s death, it was his uncle Edwin who raised him, almost like his second father.
And Edwin never really liked males. After experiencing his brother and Asta’s stepfather, he became even more disgusted with males. It can be said that part of Asta’s aversion to males also comes from Edwin.
But after spending these few days with Zhou Yuan, Asta can be sure that Zhou Yuan is different from other males.
As the communicator rang, Asta nervously fidgeted with the bedsheet.
The ringtone didn’t last long before Edwin answered the call, his face appearing on the screen, somewhat old but still bearing a resemblance to Asta.
There was a long scar at the corner of Edwin’s eye, spanning half of his face, making him look somewhat fierce, but when facing his only nephew, he softened.
Edwin asked, “Asta, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly call me? Is there something important you want to discuss?”
“Uncle,” Asta pursed his lips, “I want you to help me protect the male.”
Edwin frowned, “Asta, are you sure?”
He didn’t immediately criticize Asta.
“Yes,” Asta said, “He’s different from other males.”
“He’s not promiscuous. He promised me that I’m the only female in his life and turned down many females’ advances for this.”
“He’s not lazy. He cooks for me and is eager to learn, enjoys reading, and shares his thoughts with me.”
“He also said he hopes I can do what I like, and he won’t interfere with my ideas.”

When Asta reached the age, Edwin originally wanted to retire and let Asta take over as the family head, to avoid the fate of being tormented by males.
But Asta acted faster than him and married the male before he could make a move. Although Asta was confident at the time that he could work without restrictions from the male, and he eventually did, it still made Edwin feel guilty.
He knew in his heart that Asta did it for him.
Now, hearing Asta speak like this, Edwin’s eyes were bright and happy, but he felt somewhat uneasy inside.
He asked, “Asta, have you fallen for Dixia?”
“Fallen for?” Asta tilted his head slightly. He had heard this term before, from some ancient texts, describing feeling happy and wanting to be with someone forever upon seeing them.
After thinking for a moment, Asta looked troubled and said, “I don’t know either.”
The time Asta spent with Zhou Yuan was still too short for him to judge.
Edwin listened, but he felt a pang in his heart.
In this topic, the answer “I don’t know” was not a good sign. And Asta’s current demeanor reminded him of his brother, Asta’s biological father.
When he was deceived by a male and willingly went to his death for the male, he looked almost like this.
But if he were to refuse, Edwin also had some hidden worries.
In the end, after much thought, he said, “Asta, let me meet him in the next two days. After the meeting, I’ll give you my answer.”
“Okay, thank you, Uncle.”
After ending the call, Asta realized that Yuo had sent him many messages.
Yuo: [Just overnight, you two are on the hot search again.]
Yuo: [Wow, Asta, have you seen the hot search on StarNet? Some little fairy wants to compete with you for Lord Dixia?]
Yuo: [Link]
Yuo: [Link]
Yuo: [They’re making a big fuss, but I’m not buying it.]
Yuo: [Holy crap?! Lord Dixia saw it, and he clarified!!]
Yuo: [Link]
Yuo: [Are you asleep? Join the insomnia army.]
Asta: [?]
Asta clicked on the links Yuo had sent, and the first two were exactly the hot search topics Zhou Yuan had seen.
#Shocking Revelation: Lord Dixia and Lord Angelo Actually Fighting Over a Female?!# (Explosive)
#Lord Dixia Starting to Collect Female Attendants?!!!# (Explosive)
Asta frowned as he finished reading them, then clicked on the last link Yuo sent.
This time, instead of articles, it was a profile page, and the owner of the page was his family’s male lord.
And the latest post on the page was Zhou Yuan’s clarification response before going to bed.
Asta clicked on it, feeling his cheeks getting hot as if someone had stuffed honey into his heart, making him feel somewhat addicted.
He couldn’t help but keep reading, refreshing the page and scrolling through the new comments.
Unconsciously, a whole night passed.
When Zhou Yuan woke up in the morning and went downstairs to make breakfast, he saw Asta, with dark circles under his eyes.
Staying up all night wasn’t too much for Asta, but his skin was originally fair, so even a little dark shade looked extremely prominent.
Zhou Yuan was a bit worried and asked, “Asta, what did you do last night? Why do you have such heavy dark circles?”
Asta’s gaze flickered for a moment, and he didn’t dare to say that he had spent the whole night scrolling through the male’s StarNet posts, so he mumbled, “I chatted with Uncle late last night.”
“I see.” Zhou Yuan still felt worried, “After breakfast, go back to bed for a nap. Staying up late is bad for your health.”
“Okay, Lord.” Asta obediently nodded.
“Oh, by the way, Lord, my uncle said he wants to visit in the next few days.”
Zhou Yuan’s leisurely figure walking towards the kitchen paused for a moment. He was also aware of the relationship between Asta and Asta’s uncle.
He turned his head back a bit stiffly and asked calmly, “Did he say why he wants to come?”
“He said he wants to see you.”
“Okay, okay, then how about tomorrow?” Zhou Yuan stuttered a bit, but he was extremely nervous inside.
He was going to meet Asta’s family so soon??
Help, he hasn’t figured out a strategy yet?!!
After getting Asta’s reply, Zhou Yuan hurriedly walked into the kitchen, but instead of turning on the stove, he opened StarNet and started searching for “First Meeting with the Female’s Parents? How to Make Them See Me as a Gentle and Virtuous Male?” But obviously, he forgot that this was the zerg race.
The results that popped up were all “First Meeting with the Male’s Parents, How to Make Them Satisfied with Me?” or “With One Billion Credits, Will the Male’s Parents be Satisfied with Me?”
Zhou Yuan: …
