The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

As for Roger's work...

Didn't he agree with Little Joey to go to her room for a reward?

A man keeps his word.

I wonder what Angelina would think if she knew her younger brother was in the manor the Emperor gifted, under the guise of overtime, doing some physical activities with another woman that the Emperor wouldn't want to see, heh...

Chapter 75: You're Going to Break Me!

Yinbing Manor.

Roger used the Expedition Shoepads to teleport to the center of the manor.

Calling it overtime, but it's actually slacking off, this is double the happiness.

I guess the Lying Flat System can also feel my persistent efforts on the road to lying flat, and then continue to send treasure chests, right?

A certain leader, with evil plans in mind, quietly sneaked into his female subordinate's room.

Little Joey was sitting at her desk, carefully organizing her gains from the Law Salon, to prevent forgetting and omissions after waking up.

Hearing the door open, her hand paused.

There is only one person who can open the door without her permission.

And what he was thinking, the exchange in that lecture hall, was already well known.

It's probably like a lamb coming to the tiger's mouth as promised...

If Mongomary knew, she would laugh at her for being a silly girl!

Little Joey pursed her lips, trying to banish these thoughts from her mind, pretending not to know anything, and continuing her work.

The happiness she felt after entering Yinbing Manor disappeared unknowingly after seeing Roger and the Nightless Empress standing side by side and hearing their conversation.

Just thinking about that glorious existence, even just the back view, made her feel inferior, Little Joey felt very uneasy, so uneasy that she didn't dare to think more, letting whatever was going to happen happen...

Anyway, the final outcome of the story would not be controlled by a small character like herself.

While she is still useful to Lord Roger, she should obey him, be considerate of him, help him, and make him happy and comfortable...

This is probably the meaning of her existence at this moment?

The above is Little Joey's state of mind while waiting alone.

After entering the room, Roger actually vaguely noticed that something was wrong with Little Joey.

She is always serious about her work, but when she hears him come in, she will get up no matter how busy she is, and call out "President" energetically before continuing to work.

This unusual behavior of ignoring him, is it because she knows what the reward she owes him is, so she is shy?

Roger slowly walked behind Little Joey, put his hands on the back of the chair, and leaned over to look at what she was writing.

Immediately, Roger's expression became strange:

"Little Joey, are you spelling my name over a hundred times, are you urging me to write so many submissions?"

"Ah? Ah! No, it's not..."

Little Joey lowered her head and found that the notebook that was supposed to record the suitable contributors she met tonight.

But at this moment, she had written pages of "Roger Charles", interspersed with a few "Dio Brando".

But no matter which one, it was him.

It was him whom she tried not to think about, but ultimately occupied her mind and soul.

She hurriedly turned over the two pages, pressed on the blank paper and said, "President, wait for me, I'll write down tonight's work first..."

"I won't wait."

Roger held her hand and pulled the quill from her hand.

Little Joey tried to resist, but hesitated and was not firm, and was finally pulled up by Roger.

He turned her body to face him.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Waited for a long time.

Little Joey raised her head that had been lowered, and her two watery peach blossom eyes looked at Roger with doubt and confusion.

The imagined lightness did not come, wasn't he here to take away the reward temporarily stored here?

She had already prepared to be bullied severely, why was the unreasonable bandit so gentle at this time?

"Did I do something that made you unhappy before?" Roger asked.

"No, President is very good... I'm obviously very happy! I did a lot of things today, super happy!"

"Tell the truth, be good."

Roger raised her chin, his tone helpless.

If her expression of happiness is this look of about to cry at any time, what emotion should she reserve her smile to express?

It was obvious that Little Joey was not shy at the moment, but in a very low mood.

She was trying to pretend that nothing had happened, but that silly girl of hers wrote all her thoughts on her face.

This kind of acting, in front of an Oscar-winning actor like himself who retreated completely under the pressure of the Nightless Empress's death, was completely not good enough, okay?

Little Joey also realized from Roger's eyes that her disguise was completely futile.

She was shy and guilty, and pitifully said: "I'm sorry, President, I don't want to be like this, I didn't want to ruin your mood and interest, I just... um, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

She kept apologizing, making Roger stunned.

This was the first time he had seen a girl who didn't throw a tantrum or make unreasonable demands when she was in a bad mood, but apologized to others...

Probably because he was used to seeing the little princesses, green tea b*tches, and even fist-fighting masters of modern China, Roger took a full half a minute to roughly guess Little Joey's train of thought:

I made Roger unhappy today, so I have to compensate Lord Roger.

But when I was compensating, I was in a bad mood, which affected my performance, and Lord Roger did not enjoy the compensation he deserved, and even his interest was gone...

So I have to apologize!

Is this probably a distorted psychology of women in this era, shaped by a mixture of love, loyalty, and responsibility?

This was really an experience that Roger had never had before, making him a little moved and a little distressed.

How could there be such a silly child who wronged herself like this, and still considered the feelings of others when she was in a lot of pain?

He held Little Joey's face and gently kissed her lips: "Don't say sorry anymore, I want you to compensate me just as a... a, um, an excuse to take advantage of you, I'm not really blaming you, you don't need to apologize."

Little Joey was a little stunned by this sudden intimacy, and looked at Roger with her watery eyes, and found that he didn't seem to be angry?

And he didn't dislike her?

She whispered: "But I, I was really too much at that time, you should punish me."

"Obviously the Nightless Empress is the culprit, don't take the blame for her, you can't bear this blame." Roger pointed out unceremoniously.

If it were Little Joey a few hours ago, she would definitely loudly point out that it was wrong for Roger to think of the Emperor like this, and that everything the Emperor did was right.

But at this moment, she was a little happy because Roger said this.

At least in his eyes, the Nightless Empress was not perfect, who would dare to use the word "culprit" to describe the Emperor...

But the happiness only lasted for a moment, her eyes darkened, she lowered her head, and pulled on Roger's clothes: "Don't talk about the Emperor behind her back, that's not good."

Roger keenly captured the change in her emotions, and became doubly lost after being happy, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "So it's the Emperor who did something, targeted you, and made you unhappy?"

Little Joey quickly shook her head and denied: "No, no, how could the Emperor target a small staff member like me, she is so good, beautiful and generous, and I can't feel the airs of an emperor at all..."

"So it's because she didn't do anything that you're unhappy?"

"Yes, the Emperor is such a perfect existence, just looking up at her makes me feel that I have no value in existence... um!"

Little Joey covered her mouth.

Carelessly, she was tricked into telling the truth by Roger's back-and-forth questioning.

Roger looked at her wanting to be angry with himself but not daring to, feeling distressed and amused: "Why are you so stupid? If you're unhappy, just say it, if you have a temper, just vent it, it's hard to keep it in your heart all the time."

"But I don't know anyone in Aodu..." Little Joey was also aggrieved.

In the past, if she was unhappy, she could confide in Mongomary, and drink with other comrades and classmates.

But now she has abandoned everything in the past and stayed in Aodu, and the people she knows are all fighting in all directions, and there is really no one to find.

Moreover, involving the Emperor's little emotions, who dares to say it, and how many dare to listen?

"You can find me!" Roger hugged her tightly and bit her ear, "I've told you all my identity secrets, and you're not willing to tell me even your little secrets?"

Little Joey panicked and dodged the itchiness of the air blowing on her ears, and said with a red face: "It's not that I'm not willing, but you are the President, I am your consultant and assistant, I can't bother you with those trivial things..."

Roger interrupted directly: "Then can subordinates kiss their boss's mouth?"

"At that time... I hadn't joined the company yet!"

Little Joey was so ashamed that she was about to explode, and her arms supported his chest in an attempt to break free.

Unfortunately, Roger didn't give her this chance, but instead hugged this girl who was gentle, pure, a little inferior, and didn't even understand the identities of "lovers" and "superiors and subordinates" in her bones, so she rushed to his side.

It was indeed a love brain on the head, but isn't such a head a bit cute?

Since he has accepted it, he doesn't want to turn this relationship into Little Joey's usual obedience and flattery.

Many modern social thoughts still exist in his heart, and Little Joey's performance is completely worthy of his gentleness.

Roger put her little head on his chest and asked softly: "If I have work problems, or I'm not satisfied with a big shot, are you willing to listen to me nagging?"

"Of course I am!"

"Then conversely, I am also willing to listen to you. We are lovers now, and may be partners in the future, and we must support each other in work and life. Don't always use the identity of a subordinate to restrain yourself, you have privileges here with me, for example, I have the obligation to soothe your mood."

Hearing Roger's words, Little Joey raised her face and kept staring at him, the moisture in her eyes getting heavier and heavier.

She timidly asked: "Then, then I can tell you when I'm unhappy? Is this considered a trouble for you?"

"It counts..." Roger deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for the look of disappointment on Little Joey's face to show, before quickly continuing the second half of the sentence, "But I'm very happy to deal with all the troubles you add, because I'm willing to be your support in the future."

"Lord! You really shouldn't be so good to me! I will become more and more greedy in the future... I'm going to be ruined by you, I'm no longer loyal, I become jealous of others, sensitive and suspicious, sometimes happy and sometimes angry, this feeling is terrible, I really don't recognize myself anymore..."

Little Joey hugged Roger tightly with her backhand, and the tears she had been holding back finally burst out.

She buried her face in Roger's chest, and all the panic, grievances, and inferiority she had suppressed this night could no longer be controlled, and surged up like a flood, as if to engulf her, and the tears kept flowing.

Little Joey Barton is also a beautiful, excellent, and proud girl, who has lived in the envy of others for more than ten years, and has a straightforward personality, and most of the people around her take care of her.

But after awakening a possessive desire for Roger, she would unconsciously compare herself with the women who appeared around him.

It just so happened that the comparison target tonight was the Nightless Empress.

Instantly, Little Joey's confidence collapsed.

Even if nothing substantial happened between Roger and the Nightless Empress, she just looked at the backs of the two people and felt uncomfortable to the point where she couldn't breathe.

It's a good thing that a partner is excellent, but he is too excellent, and his thoughts are like nine-day dragons, completely uncontrollable, which is a burden and a pressure.

At that time, Little Joey felt as humble as weeds and could not control Roger at all.

Those realities and gaps that she had been happy and did not care about before suddenly became clear and devoured all the light in her small world.

In the dark, even if the little firefly tries to shine, it cannot illuminate the whole world!

She thought that being a well-behaved and obedient deputy and staying by his side was victory.

Even if she would be swallowed by darkness in the process, this was the path she chose.

Just when she was almost desperate, Roger unexpectedly gave her the identity of a girlfriend, and was willing to listen to her worries and promised to be her support in the future.

This guarantee, which is taken for granted in later generations, is like a light in the empire where machismo prevails and marriage is more of a bond of interest, making Little Joey's world bright again.

Therefore, she cried wantonly, because all her unease finally had a place to settle.

Roger didn't expect that this Little Joey was really made of water, and she cried so fiercely when she cried.

But when she really cried, her emotions gradually calmed down.

He patiently waited for her to finish crying, her eyes were all like walnuts, but the energetic smile of the past returned to her face, and he finally felt relieved.

"Can you tell me why you were unhappy before?"
