"Yeah, Prince Zhou, Aurelia is so famous now, don't keep her to yourself. We should all share the benefits."
"That's right, even if Aurelia can't co here, she should treat us, right? How about we go to Aurelia's place? Prince Zhou, isn't your house right across from Aurelia's?"
Viscount Zhou's lips curled up; he was clearly happier and prouder than if the complint had been about him.
"Go, go, go." He said irritably, "Don't go bothering my Aurelia. Don't think I don't know what you all are like. She's in the entertainnt circle under a pseudonym now, don't give her a bad reputation."
Having a buddy who's so protective left them helpless too. Soone muttered, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you're protecting your girlfriend."
The atmosphere instantly quieted down, and a strange vibe spread through the air.
Soone nudged the speaker's arm and tried to smooth things over with a laugh, "He's drunk, just talking nonsense. Prince Zhou, don't take him seriously, let's all drink."
Viscount Zhou didn't say another word until the end of the night.

The next day
Aurelia Shaw had a comrcial shoot at DF Corporation. Amanda Fuller ca to her apartnt to pick her up early in the morning, but when she opened the door, there were two people standing outside—
Her gaze swept past Amanda Fuller and landed on the man behind her, who still reeked of alcohol, "Why are you here too?"
Viscount Zhou lanted with a whine, "Why didn't you tell you were staying here when you called last night?"
If he'd known, he wouldn't have drunk with those guys.
"t him at the door," Amanda Fuller explained.
Aurelia let them in and went to the bar to pour a glass of water, sipping as she spoke, "You were having such a blast. If I called you back, wouldn't that spoil the fun for you and your buddies?"
She actually guessed it right!
Well, yeah, with how noisy bars are, there's no way she couldn't have picked it up.
For so reason, Viscount Zhou felt a bit guilty and scratched his head, "I hadn't caught up with them for a few days and they insisted on dragging out. Actually, I've been stuck at my dad's company recently. The old man wants to retire early, so he's been watching closely, not much ti to go out and play."
Aurelia smiled and didn't say anything.
Amanda Fuller glanced at him, noting his little ploys.
She still felt that Night and Aurelia were a better match. Not to ntion anything else, just the vibes they both gave off… like sly foxes.
She handed over a stack of materials, "This is the advertising material for the shoot. You should review it again before we go."
"Okay," Aurelia accepted it and raised her eyes to look at Viscount Zhou, "Don't sit down. I'm leaving, so hurry to the hospital and check on Ursa Miller. Take good care of her. If anything happens to her brother, I'll hold you accountable."
Viscount Zhou blew two strands of hair off his forehead, "Don't worry, little master has it covered. Called ahead yesterday. Not sure how that little girl got lucky enough to have you help personally. Oh, yeah, Isambard and those boys asked to get an autographed photo from you."
"Sure," Aurelia readily agreed, as they were old friends and signing photos wasn't a hassle, "but it has to wait until another day. Today I'm in a rush for a comrcial shoot."
"No need to wait, I didn't promise them anything," Viscount Zhou replied with a smug smile, seeing Aurelia's puzzled look, he just added, "For those boys, writing autographed photos until my hand cramps. I'll write and deliver them to them myself."
