About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, a tense dialogue takes place as Commander Wei Yanwu is confronted by Officer Ch'en Hui-jie regarding the contradictory orders concerning access to Longmen. The conversation reveals the complexities and tensions between various factions in Longmen, and highlights Wei Yanwu's and King Rat's differing approaches. Jingzhe, a seemingly naive young inspector, unexpectedly showcases her courage when faced with influential figures, despite being initially out of her depth. As the older characters engage in playful jabs at each other while simultaneously trying to "promote" their daughters, Orson, who finds himself caught in the middle, realizes the underlying competition for his attention and allegiance between the two families. The situation becomes increasingly awkward for the young ladies involved as their fathers' intentions are revealed, and they leave in embarrassment after the excessive matchmaking attempts. Orson's interaction with Jingzhe as he helps her feel at ease emphasizes his kindness and maturity: he brushes off her gratitude instead of seeking favors, further establishing a bond between them. As Jingzhe reflects on her past experiences and her current challenges, it underscores her growth and vulnerability. The chapter concludes with a light-hearted touch, highlighting their budding relationship amidst the chaos of family expectations and city-state politics.
