As Luo Yan entered the kitchen, she gave Pei Jing a reserved smile, and Luo Bi quickly glanced at Pei Jing. The man had a poker face, showing no reaction at all.

"This is the Governor of Zhihuang Star, Pei Jing," Luo Feifan introduced Luo Bi.

"Hello, Governor!" Luo Bi greeted with a smile, thinking that this person's visit must be related to the matter of the assistant for the Qishi.

Pei Jing nodded with a smile, not appearing to be a talkative person.

Luo Yan said she would make tea just to draw attention. Once in the kitchen, she stood by the door, complaining about everything: "Your kitchen is so dirty, what's that smell?"

Her own kitchen, where they often cooked with nutritious ingredients, had a slight food smell, but it wasn't a strange odor. As for being dirty, that was impossible; Guan Zhuting had just cleaned it. The kitchen was just a bit small, making it feel cramped.

"You should go outside, be careful not to dirty your clothes," Guan Zhuting said as she found a cup and put in some chrysanthemum tea. It wasn't real tea leaves from a tea tree, which were too expensive for her to afford.

"I'll go out after you finish making the tea, hurry up," Luo Yan said, her mind still on the people in the living room. As she urged Guan Zhuting, she poked her head out to see what was happening: "Oh! You scared me, what are you doing here?"

Luo Bi glanced at her casually: "Bringing tea."

Luo Yan wouldn't let Luo Bi take the lead. Ignoring the scare, she let go of her skirt and carried two cups of tea out with one hand each.

With the excitement to watch, Luo Bi's mood improved. She giggled and took the glass tea tray, and Guan Zhuting took the tray from her: "You're not needed here, go out."

"Alright, I'll go out," Luo Bi left the kitchen, eager to see the show.

Luo Yan first gave a cup of tea to Luo Feifan, then held another cup with both hands and offered it to Governor Pei Jing with a graceful smile: "Please have some tea, Governor."

The teacup was small, and with Luo Yan holding it with both hands, Pei Jing couldn't easily take it. If he touched the cup, he would inevitably touch Luo Yan's hands. Luo Bi's eyes sparkled as she watched Pei Jing's reaction.

"Put it down there," Pei Jing said, not even bothering to say thank you, his eyes half-closed.

Huh? This reaction was unexpected. Luo Bi quickly realized that Pei Jing preferred gestational bodies, men who could bear children, and not women. In the interstellar age, not only women could bear children; gestational men could also give birth, and their children had a higher awakening rate. Childbirth was no longer a woman's forte.

Sigh! What a world that pits Luo Bi, women, and normal people against each other!

Sometimes Luo Bi wondered why she, a simple person, had ended up in such a bizarre world.

Women's ability to bear children had been overshadowed by gestational men, and in the competition for men, women seemed to have little advantage. Life was indeed tough.

Luo Yan's attempt to curry favor was rejected, and her smile almost faltered. She put down the teacup and pouted, sitting on the sofa closer to Pei Jing.

"Luo Bi, come over, Grandfather has something to ask you," Luo Feifan called out, as Luo Bi stood far away.

Just then, Guan Zhuting came out with the tea tray, and Luo Bi helped her place the teacups on the coffee table. She found a seat a bit away from the others and waited for Luo Feifan to ask his question.

Luo Feifan carefully chose his words before saying, "Grandfather came to ask if you would be willing to be Xiao Yan's assistant. I mentioned it to your father before he left. What do you think?"
