After hearing Yun Fan's teasing voice, our little Jelena finally snapped out of her daze.
She rubbed her eyes repeatedly and forcefully. After confirming that the person before her was indeed the guy she had met on Jarilo-VI, the girl no longer cared about any formal etiquette. She immediately slammed the table and stood up, unable to hold back her words.
"H-How could it be you?!"
Although the possibility had flashed through Topaz's mind at the very beginning, she had quickly dismissed it.
According to the information she had gathered, that Nameless should currently be in the Asdana star system, on the planet of festivities, Penacony.
But why was this guy here now, and why had he become Miss Qingque's husband? How was that possible?
"Oh?"
Hearing Topaz's words, Yun Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, spread his hands, and asked in return.
"Why can't it be me?"
"I…"
Topaz was instantly at a loss for words. That's right, why couldn't it be him? An Emanator, someone she knew, and male.
Among those who fit these conditions, aside from Diamond, the head of their Strategic Investment Department, there seemed to be very few others.
Emanators were not cabbages. The number of Emanators currently existing in the universe was pitifully small. For ordinary people to even meet one was extremely difficult.
"You… shouldn't you be in the Asdana star system right now?" Topaz asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Hahaha, you're asking about the me who is currently on Penacony, right? I didn't expect you to be paying quite a bit of attention to my movements, Topaz."
Yun Fan gave Topaz a teasing look before explaining.
"The me on Penacony is actually just a clone—an energy clone possessing my power. However, even as an energy clone, he still possesses Emanator-level strength."
"Are you some kind of monster?"
After hearing Yun Fan say that even a mere energy clone of his possessed Emanator-level strength, Miss Topaz could not help but gasp sharply.
This guy was actually this strong. In that case, it seemed the idea of finding other Emanators to help recharge her imprint could basically be declared a failure. Moreover…
Thinking up to this point, Topaz looked up at the handsome young man before her with a powerless expression. Was she basically delivering herself to his doorstep?
"Hahaha, if Miss Topaz wants the imprint recharged, why didn't you just come directly to me? After going around in such a big circle, aren't you back to me again?"
"Actually, you didn't need to test around everywhere. I can responsibly tell you that no one else can recharge the imprint I bestowed."
Topaz: '...'
Topaz: '(•́⍛•̀; ≡ •́⍛•̀;)'
The girl no longer wanted to say anything. What was all this? After going in a full circle, she had ended up back with Yun Fan, and in such a manner.
In that case, the matter of recharging the imprint… wait!
The girl suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up as she dragged her chair closer to Qingque.
Qingque was this guy's wife, right? In that case, if she asked Yun Fan to recharge the imprint right in front of his wife, even if he proposed some conditions, they probably wouldn't be too excessive.
After all, this was in front of his wife. He couldn't possibly suggest anything lewd, right?
"Mr. Yun Fan, I would like to request that you recharge the imprint on my hand. Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you do it for nothing. I will pay a reward. Is that acceptable?"
On the surface, Topaz appeared somewhat reserved and cautious in her request. However, deep inside, the girl was feeling extremely pleased with herself.
She was truly a little genius. With this approach, even if Yun Fan really wanted to take the chance to make some excessive demands, he would still have to think twice—after all, his wife was right here.
"Hmm, of course that's fine. However, I would like to ask—what kind of reward does Miss Topaz intend to offer?"
Yun Fan had clearly seen through the little girl's plan. However, the 'kind' him had no intention of exposing her and simply continued following her lead.
"That depends on what Mr. Yun Fan wants. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my utmost to obtain it for you!"
Topaz patted her chest and solemnly promised. With her movement, that impressive pair of assets also bounced twice, swaying quite noticeably.
'Tsk!'
Staring fixedly at the pile of excess flesh on Topaz's chest, Miss Qingque's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Those two things really make people envi… really make people unhappy!
"Conditions are up to me? Let me think…"
Yun Fan lowered his head slightly and fell into thought, seemingly seriously considering what kind of terms would be appropriate.
'Phew—! I won the bet!'
Seeing this scene, Miss Topaz finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, she admitted she had been gambling.
She had been betting on whether Yun Fan would make any excessive demands in front of Qingque.
From the current situation, it looked like she had won the bet.
"Hmm, I've thought of something."
After about a minute, Yun Fan raised his head and looked at Topaz again.
"Please speak, Mr. Yun Fan. As I said earlier, I will do my best to fulfill your conditions."
"Haha, it's actually nothing difficult."
Yun Fan shook his head, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curve into a smile.
"This matter should not be difficult for Miss Topaz at all."
Saying this, Yun Fan glanced at Qingque beside him and continued.
"My Qingque has been feeling a bit weak lately. How about you come and accompany me for a few nights in her stead?"
Topaz: '!? !? !?'
Like a bolt from the blue, Miss Topaz froze. She remained stunned for quite a while before finally regaining her senses.
"M-Mr. Yun Fan, do you know what you're saying?"
"I know? I'm just saying that Qingque's body has been a bit weak lately, so I want you to come accompany me for a few…"
"Stop stop stop!" Before Yun Fan could finish, Topaz hurriedly interrupted him. Then, with an incredulous look, she questioned.
"You… How can you…"
