"You always seem to be looking at something...is there something in the clouds?"
Anna followed Lu Li's gaze to the sky suspiciously. In order to make sure that she and Lu Li were looking at the same place, she leaned close to Lu Li's head and looked out the window.
There was nothing but clouds in the narrow patch of sky outside the window.
She wanted to say something else, but when she noticed that Lu Li stood up, she quickly moved back to avoid overlapping with Lu Li's body.
"Where are you going?"
Lu Li didn't return home all night, and Anna had many questions to ask.
"Go and return the oil lamp, and buy you a book by the way." Lu Li said, dropped his rolled-up sleeves and walked to the door, holding the door handle with his palm, applying slight pressure, and at the same time turned around and said, "Is there anything you need me to bring back?
?”
"No."
Anna, who was floating behind the desk, waved to Lu Li.
Lu Li turned his gaze back, and suddenly, behind the opened door, a dozen rigid, gray, identical faces came face to face!
Lu Li's pupils shrank slightly, but that was all because he saw clearly the source of these faces - a bouquet of flowers made of shillings.
Wow——
This bouquet of folded flowers was held in a slender white hand and moved aside, revealing a face that would make people marvel no matter how many times they looked at it.
It was slightly different from the first time I saw it at the police station. The face no longer had the rich, exaggerated and aggressive makeup. There seemed to be no makeup, and the lips had changed from a sexy purple to a lighter apricot color.
To put it simply and clearly, she seems to be wearing no makeup today.
"Do you like it? My butler said it would be more sincere to give it to you personally."
Her voice is as hoarse as ever, and combined with the deep voice, it unexpectedly has a kind of comfortable magnetism.
Lu Li didn't answer and looked down.
She was wearing a well-tailored men's suit, with a golden ponytail standing neatly on the back of her head, and her narrow ruby eyes were mesmerizing. If her long hair were cut short and she put on a corset, most girls would not be able to resist this aristocratic man who moves and moves.
A handsome baron with style.
Noticing Lu Li's gaze, Baron Joseph smiled generously: "Wearing this way will make you look more solemn. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Eileen Joseph, a knighted baron of the Principality of Ellen Peninsula. Nice to meet you."
The bouquet of shilling flowers that had been temporarily taken away was handed back to Lu Li.
"Thank you." Lu Li accepted the bouquet of flowers with a calm expression and added: "I like it very much."
It's hard to tell whether Lu Li's last words were because of the baron's kindness or the shillings folded into a bouquet.
The only drawback is that there is only one bouquet of flowers.
"Is he a guest? Or a client?"
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in his ears. Lu Li tilted his head slightly and did not see Anna's voice.
"A guest." He replied.
Joseph maintained a standard smile of aristocratic etiquette on his face and tilted his head slightly: "Huh? Who are you talking to?"
"Anna."
Lu Li handed the flowers behind him. His short reply and expressionless face made him look a little unkind, especially after he had just received a gift.
Baron Joseph didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, it made her even more excited——
"You have a girlfriend?" she said in surprise, then returned to her standard smile in an instant: "It's okay, I don't mind. I promise, I will let you be more interested than your girlfriend - what is that?!"
Baron Joseph suddenly saw Lu Li behind him. The shilling he handed to him was floating in the air, as if there was an invisible being holding it.
"I just said it, Anna."
"Anna is..." The elegant smile disappeared from the Baron's face, her eyes widened and her eyelashes trembled.
"My assistant."
"I mean why is she transparent..."
"Because she's a ghost."
"..." Baron Joseph took a deep breath, which made the buttons on her chest tighten. She forced a smile, raised her head and said to Lu Li, "Help me."
"What?"
While Lu Li was asking, Baron Joseph's feet suddenly became weak and he held on to the wall to prevent himself from collapsing to the ground.
"No! No need to help me! I can do it by myself!" Joseph's cheeks were hot and he didn't dare to look up at Lu Li, so he waved to Lu Li who was motionless.
"What a terrible meeting, damn it!" Baron Joseph held on to the wall of the corridor and walked out. He cursed softly and then pretended to be gentle and said: "Mr. Lu Li, I remembered that my manor has not been watered yet. I want to water it now."
Go back and glue the manor, then wait until my feet are not so soft, then wait until I take care of the things in the manor and then come back to you."
Until she opened the longhouse door and left the corridor, she didn't dare to muster the courage to look back.
"She seems to be frightened by me...can I comfort her?"
Anna appeared next to Lu Li, holding the bouquet of flowers and whispered.
"Are you going to comfort me?" Lu Li comforted.
"Pfft...of course it's you." Anna held her stomach and laughed. Suddenly something occurred to her, and her smile became lonely: "I would only scare her more..."
Lu Li didn't want to do this: "No, I just want her money and don't want to have anything to do with her."
"Don't say such terrible things in such a flat tone!"
…
Baron Joseph buried his head and returned to the carriage with trembling steps.
Fortunately, she took it upon herself to wear men's clothes today and no one recognized her.
"Is that guy so powerful? He can actually make your feet weak."
A soft whine came from the carriage, and Baron Joseph snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was scared by him!"
A corner of the carriage curtain was opened, and a short housekeeper girl in a tuxedo supported her baron: "Is that guy so powerful? He can actually scare you to the point of weakness."
"I told you not -" Baron Joseph quibbled, then he looked into the butler's teasing eyes.
"I didn't say yes."
"Hey." Baron Joseph simply refused to defend himself, changed the subject and said through gritted teeth: "How on earth did you investigate! There is actually a ghost in his detective agency!"
The short butler pushed up the thick round glasses on the bridge of his nose and pulled the Baron into the carriage: "As an exorcist, it is normal for him to deal with ghosts. I think Baron, you should know his profession. And frankly
Say, if you have bad thoughts about him, you'd better get over it."
"It's just for fun." Baron Joseph said quietly.
"That also needs to be overcome."
Baron Joseph's eyes dodge, and his voice loses much confidence: "Not today, my feet are weak..."
The short butler sighed softly and stopped blaming Baron Joseph: "Okay, but please be careful not to show such a weak look in front of others in the future."
Baron Joseph was slightly startled, and gradually put away his emotions, seeming to have returned to the Baron Joseph rumored to be in Belfast.
"Of course I know."
She said in a hoarse voice.
"let's go."
The carriage moved slowly and left the longhouse.
Behind the car window, a pair of ruby-like eyes stared at a figure appearing in front of the longhouse door, and the fists under his sleeves clenched little by little.
