She followed the direction of the sound and walked slowly over in slippers.
Then, he walked to the door of the study and stopped.
She hesitated, not sure whether she should take the liberty to open the door.
In the movie, all storylines are led by the protagonist who is too curious.
Should she go back to sleep?
However, a sudden yell of curses from the study shocked her so much that she forgot to even think about it, and actually opened the door and walked in.
The door to the study room opened, and Ning Tong'er was stunned for a moment when she saw that the light was so dim that it didn't look like she was in the study room, but rather like wine.
Not only for his own recklessness and abruptness, but also for the scene in front of him - the study room exuded a strong smell of alcohol. Not only was the light dim and dark like wine, but even the strong smell of alcohol started to make people wonder if they were in the wrong place.
Got the place.
The man sitting on the large carved Baroque chair behind the desk was lying on the table with his head buried without raising his head, but he was still holding a wine bottle in one hand.
There were several empty wine bottles rolling down beside the bookcase on one side, two of which had a hole in them. This was probably the sound of wine bottles being thrown onto the bookcase and then falling down that Ning Tong'er heard just now.
There was also a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes standing next to the desk. He looked like a family doctor.
At this time, he was frowning, probably about to say something to the man lying on the desk, but was suddenly interrupted by Ning Tong'er who suddenly pushed the door open and broke in.
He turned around and looked at Ning Tong'er, who was standing at the door with her long black hair hanging behind her back.
——Because it was backlighting, he could not see her appearance clearly. He could only see in the hazy light that this girl had an extremely slender and delicate figure, long hair, a pale pink pajamas, and a pair of feet.
Very childish furry slippers.
The doctor squinted his eyes. Just by looking at her clothes, he knew that she was definitely not a new maid in the castle, but no such slender young girl had come recently among the relatives in the castle.
Then there is only one possibility.
He suddenly thought of the reason why he and the Count had rushed back.
"Did you come with the young master?"
He asked softly, his frown relaxed, and a respectful smile appeared on his handsome face.
Ning Tong'er nodded and saluted him in an educated manner: "Well, yes..."
She hesitated for a moment: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break in, I just heard..."
The doctor showed a clear smile: "It's nothing, dear lady, the count is just drunk."
From what he said, the count probably got drunk often.
However, Ning Tong'er was greatly taken aback. She was completely at a loss. She didn't know where to put her hands. Only her heart was beating wildly - ah, what about sitting there?
There, the man lying on the desk is the Earl!
The legendary Earl.
The Earl raped a common girl and left Murong Yao'er to die in a foreign country, but he was also unhappy himself.
The Earl had a quarrel with Murong Lie and his son, but he also appointed Murong Lie to come back and inherit his title, status and wealth as an earl.
It's like a legendary person who is only in rumors. You have heard many of his deeds, but they are all told by others.
He is like a legend.
More like a mystery.
There are many unexplained legends about him.
However, this person is right in front of you, you can't help but be surprised!
More importantly: he is still your boyfriend and your husband-to-be’s father!
Ning Tong'er felt a little breathless. Standing at the door, she looked at the drunken man lying on the desk. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should walk over to say hello to him, or say "Excuse me" and exit.
Just as she was hesitating, Earl Edson let go of his hand, and the wine bottle he was holding fell to the floor.
He finally raised his head, and Ning Tong'er's breath suddenly suffocated!
There were faint traces of alcoholism and drug use on the count's face, and his originally pale complexion had revealed an extremely unhealthy bluish-white color.
However, the sharpness, the noble and arrogant temperament on his body and face cannot be concealed by illness and alcoholism.
Even though he was drunk at this time, his eyes were so arrogant, as if everyone else was an insignificant little ant.
Compared with him, Murong Lie and Mark were both polite to others.
The Earl looked like a man from a well-known family with a sharp blade out of its sheath, sharp and noble.
No wonder the steward always admires, respects and follows the earl from the bottom of his heart whenever he mentions him.
Ning Tong'er looked at this noble and arrogant handsome face and felt that he was indeed his biological father and son.
Murong Lie will definitely not admit it, but...actually...they really look alike!
The earl glanced coldly at Ning Tong'er who was standing at the door, still in extreme shock. Because Ning Tong'er was in the shadow of the backlight, he could not see Ning Tong'er's face clearly either.
"who is she?"
He asked coldly, speaking to the doctor who had taken care of him for many years.
The doctor said respectfully: "I came with the young master."
He raised his head and glanced at Ning Tong'er, then lowered his head and said to the earl: "The manager should have reported to you that the young master is his girlfriend."
Ning Tong'er's face turned a little red. She stood at the door, rubbing her feet in her slippers twice, feeling a little overwhelmed.
The earl did not express any reaction to the doctor's words, but he slightly raised his chin and said coldly to Ning Tong'er: "The woman who wants to inherit the blood of our Edson family, come here and let me see if you are worthy of her."
My son."
These words are really condescending and extremely rude.
If it weren't for the fact that he was Murong Lie's father and had so many "glorious deeds" that made people scared, Ning Tong'er might have turned around and left without paying any attention to him.
She hesitated for a moment and walked over slowly.
Before he could reach the desk, he only heard the dissatisfied voice of Lord Earl. He really didn't give anyone any face: "Is this the type of woman he likes who is so unworthy and petty?"
These words were clearly meant for Ning Tong'er. Ning Tong'er's face suddenly turned ugly, but what could she do? Is there anything else she could do?
The Earl is indeed extremely troublesome and difficult to serve!
She was secretly thinking depressedly in her heart, feeling that she was really depressed to the extreme!
The doctor was even more difficult to answer. Although he was loyal to the Edson family, especially the Earl, like a steward, he was picky about his future daughter-in-law. It was really difficult for outsiders to intervene in this muddy water!
Therefore, he lowered his head in embarrassment and decided not to answer anything.
If he dares to answer the message now, and the next day the message reaches the ears of the future earl, the young master, his life will not be easy.
Ning Tong'er regretted in her heart that she shouldn't have gotten up from the bed in the middle of the night, left Murong Lie's arms, walked to the door of the study inexplicably, opened the door and walked in.
Are you okay now? The criticism and humiliation you received were also brought on by you.
She laughed at herself in her mind, and then secretly thought: No wonder the movies show those protagonists who are too curious and nothing good happens after they open the door.
Look at her, isn't she the same now?
She felt regretful in her heart. The cute furry slippers on her feet rubbed against each other, but she couldn't drag them on anymore. Finally, she walked to the desk and stood not far from the Earl.
The light in the study room is very dim. I don’t know what the Earl thinks, but he makes the study room look like wine? Does he read in such a dim place? What a special hobby!
Because the earl had given her power and embarrassed her when they first met, Ning Tong'er, who had no choice but to refute, could only secretly slander the future father-in-law in her heart.
However, when she raised her head, she suddenly stiffened when she saw the count's handsome blue-white vampire-like face.
Seeing his shocked eyes, she couldn't help but want to touch her face.
Did she have something on her face?
Or have a flower growing on your nose?
I really want to touch my nose to see if a flower really grows.
However, what surprised her even more was that at that moment, she really felt that her vision was blurred, and she did not see how the Earl who was sitting on the chair came to her.
He really just swayed, and then he was already standing in front of her.
Ning Tong'er was so frightened that she blurted out and screamed: "Ah..."
However, her mind exploded and she suddenly thought of it.
She knew what was going on - just like Murong Lie's terrifying special power when he was emotionally excited, Lord Earl also had that demonic ability, and Murong Lie's ability was inherited from him.
Thinking of this, Ning Tong'er bit the tip of her tongue and swallowed back the half of the scream.
However, what happened next made her scream again.
This time, I can't bear it anymore!
Because, the earl actually hugged her tightly and held her in his arms.
His strength was so great that Ning Tong'er struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free at all.
She screamed in fright and kept struggling, but in the chaos, she could only hear the smell of alcohol lingering on the tip of her nose.
He lowered his head, hugged her tightly, and said a word.
Ning Tong'er was originally frightened to death. She never dreamed that she would be harassed by someone on the first day she came to Edson Castle, and it was her boyfriend's father, the noble and arrogant Earl Edson.
Her heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of her chest.
However, after hearing the English words full of London accent spoken by the Earl, she was stunned for a moment. She did not scream anymore, but slowly and incredibly raised her head, trying hard to see clearly.
