“Lord, rest assured, they can’t touch me,” he said, then paused before continuing, “Lord, your lawsuit is settled now. We just need to compensate Angelo with eight million star coins.”
Eight million, Zhou Yuan was somewhat astonished, but he also knew it was Asta’s effort, so he generously praised, “Good, thank you, Asta, you’re amazing!”
Asta blinked, slightly shifted his gaze, and replied, “Hmm.”
After having dinner together, Zhou Yuan didn’t want to delay Asta’s work and took his leave.
The afternoon resumed calmly.
At night, Zhou Yuan received compensation from the Male Zergs Protection Association in the card tied to Asta. He also candidly shared his idea of starting a game with Asta.
Asta didn’t quite understand what game Zhou Yuan was referring to, but he thought spending a few million or even tens of millions for the male to play wasn’t a big deal.
Asta’s exact words were: “Lord, feel free to do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if we lose money, as long as you’re happy.”
As Asta said this, his expression was very serious, with a look of “Your happiness is the most important thing, money is not a problem.”
Zhou Yuan was deeply moved by this, but at the same time, he felt a bit concerned that Asta might be too detached from worldly affairs.
Zhou Yuan attempted to explain the risks of entrepreneurial investment to Asta: “Asta, you may not fully understand the risks of failure. If our initial investment is wrong, the seventy million we just obtained could all go down the drain, or even more losses could occur.”
At first, Asta didn’t quite grasp what Zhou Yuan meant, but after a while, he understood.
The male lord was different now; he was very thrifty and even felt like they only had seventy million at home.
For a moment, a rare change appeared on Asta’s face.

But now, the male lord had obviously improved, no longer gambling and being very thrifty, even not minding his low salary. Instead, he would advise him not to be too extravagant.
Asta wanted to speak up, but didn’t know how to say it.
Should he tell the male lord that he had hidden money because he didn’t trust him initially due to his gambling habits?
Asta felt that saying this would be like stepping on a landmine.
He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he just nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing Asta’s expression, Zhou Yuan thought Asta was afraid of really losing all the money, so he quickly reassured him, “Asta, don’t worry, this time it’s just a small attempt. I won’t lose that much money.”
As he spoke, he gently rubbed Asta’s head to comfort him.
Asta became even more conflicted, but fearing that the male would worry, he could only pretend to be normal.
Fortunately, he was used to having a poker face. As long as he didn’t frown, his expression would quickly return to that cold and indifferent face, and Zhou Yuan soon stopped worrying, turning to deal with his own affairs.
Asta took advantage of Zhou Yuan’s distraction and quickly typed to ask Yuo what to do.
Yuo happened to be online.
Yuo: [……]
Yuo: [This kind of thing…]
Yuo: [I don’t know either…]
Yuo: [Why don’t you just confess to Lord Dixia? I see that Lord Dixia spoils you, so he should understand you.]
Asta: [Hmm…]
Yuo: [Think about it carefully. It’s best to confess this matter sooner rather than later, or it will become an old issue.]
Asta: [Alright, I’ll think about it. Thanks.]
After ending the communication, Asta fell into contemplation. How should he tell the male lord?
This pondering continued until it was time to sleep.
At home, except in his own room, Zhou Yuan always carried Asta in his wheelchair.
After Zhou Yuan inquired, he skillfully brought the wheelchair and approached, bending down to lift Asta.
As Zhou Yuan lifted him, a few strands of Asta’s hair slipped down from the sofa and lightly touched Zhou Yuan’s nose and cheek.
In that brief moment, Zhou Yuan felt like he smelled a faint fragrance.
It was like the scent of flowers, a bit chilly, but upon closer sniffing, it carried a faint sweetness.
This scent was clear and light, elusive, making Zhou Yuan somewhat unable to grasp which kind of flower it was. He could only vaguely feel that it wasn’t the scent of flowers in the garden.
Initially, Zhou Yuan thought it was the scent of the new shampoo Asta had used, but even when he placed Asta in the wheelchair and held his hand to go upstairs, he could still smell it.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but recall that he hadn’t smelled this fragrance when Asta got off work, only until they had close contact just now did he notice it.
He endured it all the way, and finally, as they were about to part, he spoke up.
“Asta, did you spray perfume just now?” Zhou Yuan said, pointing at Asta’s hair. “When I lifted you into the wheelchair, I smelled a floral fragrance on your hair, and I can still smell it now.”
Asta was initially puzzled, but as Zhou Yuan spoke, his expression gradually changed.
He pursed his lips slightly, as if pondering something, and after a while, he said, “Lord, it’s almost my estrus period, there’s no need to worry.”
It’s just that it was supposed to come in about twenty days, but due to the stimulation of the pheromones Angelo induced in the last estrus and the unconscious contact with Zhou Yuan, it came slightly earlier.
