Chapter 14

Author: Popcorn Pop
The change happened on a rainy night.

That day, Aurelius arrived later than usual. By the time he knocked on the door, heavy rain was already pouring outside.

When I opened it, he was standing in the hallway, his long coat half-soaked. A few strands of his golden hair were wet too, clinging to the side of his face.

However, his expression remained unchanged, as though being caught in the rain meant nothing at all.

“Come in. Let me get a towel for you.”

I turned to grab one from the bathroom

  • The Dragon Emperor Found Me With a Cub   Chapter 15

    What came after that, in truth, was rather simple.The Dragon Emperor’s courting style was clumsy but sincere.He did not know how to say sweet words, so he just came over and cooked every day.He was not good at romance, so he upgraded my apartment’s heating system into a dragon clan thermal barrier. From then on, it stayed perfectly warm in winter and cool in summer, and no more repairs were needed.He was not expressive, but every time he came, he brought something.Sometimes, it was a drawing Lucien had made. Sometimes, it was a bouquet of flowers from somewhere unknown. Sometimes it was nothing at all except him standing at the door, looking at me, quietly saying, “I came to see you.”When Sharon found out about it, she was in shock for three straight days, then immediately switched into full matchmaking mode.“Wynne, listen to me. He’s the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor! What are you hesitating for?!”“I’m not hesitating…”“Then say yes already!”“He hasn’t official

Let me get a towel for you.”I turned to grab one from the bathroom. By the time I came back, he had already changed into slippers and was standing in the entryway.I handed him the towel.He took it, but instead of using it on himself, he glanced at my shoulder. “You’re wet too.”I looked down. A little rain had splashed onto my shoulder when I opened the door.Before I could react, he had already draped the towel over it.The movement was so natural that it felt rehearsed.I froze for a moment.He also froze for a moment, as though only then realizing

    However, the floating comments’ predictions kept getting more accurate.Aurelius started coming more and more often, from once a week to three times a week, and eventually, almost every other day.Sometimes, he came with Lucien, but sometimes, he came alone.When Lucien was with him, the little guy would immediately rush into my arms, his tail wrapping tightly around my wrist. Then, he would turn back and shoot his brother a smug little look, his golden eyes practically screaming that I was his.Aurelius would watch all of this with a blank expression and say with a calm voice, “Lucien. Sit properly.”The little guy would huff but still sit down obediently. His tail, however, did not let go of me.When Aurelius came alone, the atmosphere was completely different.It was quieter and more comfortable.He would sit on the sofa, reading, while I cooked in the kitchen. Occasionally, I would call out, “Pass me a plate,” and he would set his book down and walk over without a word.He

    The ribs turned out perfectly that day.Aurelius took a bite and commented with a straight face, “Not bad.”However, I noticed that he packed up every last bit of the leftovers and took them home.The next day, Lucien sent me a voice message. Aurelius had apparently arranged a communication device for him so we could stay in touch more easily.The little guy sounded so excited that his voice cracked. “Wynne! My brother’s ribs taste exactly like yours!”I smiled and sent back a reply.“Have your brother make them for you more often.”A few seconds later, another voice message came through.This one was much quieter, carrying a hint of grievance. “But I still want yours.”My heart melted instantly.After that, Aurelius started showing up more and more often.At first, he claimed he was coming to learn cooking.After mastering braised ribs, he learned how to make steamed fish. After steamed fish came tomato soup.The problem was that my cooking skills were pretty limited.I

    After Lucien left, life gradually returned to normal.The heater was fixed, and the new space heater was still around. The apartment stayed warm and cozy.However, whenever I lay in bed at night, my ankle felt strangely lonely, as if something were missing.Habits really were a terrifying thing.I shook my head and pushed the thought away.Days passed.I thought that bizarre chapter of my life was over, but one evening a week later, the doorbell suddenly rang.I went to answer it.Standing outside was the Dragon Emperor, Aurelius.There were no bodyguards and attendants. It was just him.His long golden hair was still tied back, and he wore a dark gray cashmere coat. His presence felt much more restrained than before. He almost looked like an ordinary man.If you could ignore his golden-slitted pupils.I was startled for a moment. “Mr. Vale?”He gave me a small nod and replied in a calm tone, “Lucien sent me.”“What?”“He said your braised ribs were good. He told me to c

    On the seventh day, Sharon came back early.The moment she stepped through the door, so many emotions were plastered on her face that she looked like a one-woman play.“Let me see him! Let me see him! What does the Dragon Emperor’s little brother look like?!”Lucien was sitting on the sofa, reading a picture book. He lifted his head when he heard Sharon’s voice, swept his golden-slitted pupils over her expressionlessly for a few seconds, then went back to reading.He was basically screaming, ‘Leave me alone!’Sharon leaned in, trying to talk to him, but the little guy did not even look up. Instead, his tail slipped out from under the blanket and flicked lightly toward me.She immediately understood and turned to me. “Wynne, you really did it. In just one week, you completely got a dragon cub wrapped around your finger.”I gave her a guilty laugh.She lowered her voice. “Do you even know how precious a dragon’s tail is? That’s their most vulnerable spot. Wrapping it around som
