Qiu Lingxue looked into his eyes and showed a hint of warning, signaling him not to continue to be stubborn.
She said, "Listen to me!"
Gu Yichen understood what she meant at a glance. Although he was a little dissatisfied, thinking of Ruirui, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree after a few seconds of silence.
He said, "Protect yourself inside. If anything happens, call me at any time. I will be here waiting for you to come out!"
When Qiu Lingxue heard this, she had an inexplicable feeling that she was no longer alone, as if she had a strong backing invisibly.
The corners of her lips curved slightly, "Yeah!"
Clay finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
He took Qiu Lingxue and walked inside. On the way, he couldn't help but said, "Miss Qiu, your assistant really cares about you!"
This was the first time for Clay to see such a responsible subordinate, who really cared about his leader's safety.
Qiu Lingxue was slightly startled when she heard this. She recalled the scene just now. She thought it was nothing because they were a team.
But now when I hear Clay talk about it like this, I really feel like there's something weird in my heart.
"Do you care?"
Clay nodded vigorously.
He felt that if Qiu Lingxue hadn't spoken just now and had taken care of Yichen's stubbornness, she might have rushed in directly.
Qiu Lingxue felt a little weird in her heart, but she didn't say it directly.
She smiled and added, "The relationship between us is very good, and now that we are in a foreign country, it is normal for him to pay more attention to me."
Clay also felt that it made sense, so he said no more at the moment.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the banquet venue.
Qiu Lingxue was wearing a flamboyant red dress. Lady Margaret noticed her at a glance, walked over with a smile on her face, and held her hand affectionately.
"Miss Qiu, you're finally here. I've invited your future boyfriend too, and he's right there..."
Although Qiu Lingxue knew that this was an act, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her say this.
She looked in the direction Lady Margaret pointed -
I saw the huge crystal lamp refracting the hazy light, gently shining on a man wearing a white suit.
He has silver hair, a handsome and arrogant face, and eyes as cold as a winter night. His cold eyes are mixed with a bit of indescribable elegance, exuding an aura of aristocratic pride, but it is not offensive, but inexplicably makes people think.
I need to get close and dissolve this layer of coldness.
Earl Henry, also known as Shan Qianyu.
He had just finished handling the official business at hand and rushed back from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the palace, he was invited by Lady Margaret's people, who also said that they had prepared a surprise for him...
You don't need to think about it, you also know what this surprise is. Like several other ladies, she probably wants to introduce him to a blind date or something.
To be honest, Shan Qianyu has no interest in these romantic things.
Girls in the royal family are spoiled by their parents, who are unruly and arrogant. He prefers to focus on work than falling in love.
Shan Qianyu had been busy all day, and there was a hint of fatigue on his brows. He closed his eyes and rubbed his brows.
Although Qiu Lingxue has seen Shan Qianyu's photos, they are far less stunning than the person himself, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Lady Margaret smiled beside her and said, "Miss Qiu, are you fascinated by him again?"
Qiu Lingxue is a member of the Pure Appearance Association. When she saw such a handsome guy, she said in her heart that she didn't have any trouble at all. That must be a lie.
She nodded and sighed cooperatively, "He is indeed handsome. It seems that I have pretty good taste."
"That's right, otherwise how could he have so many fans!"
Lady Margaret is still a little proud of their royal family's beauty genes.
"Miss Qiu, let me take you over to say hello."
Qiu Lingxue thought about the purpose of coming today, her eyes darkened, she hummed slightly, and agreed.
Shan Qianyu was closing his eyes and concentrating when the familiar voice of Lady Margaret suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Henry, let me introduce a new friend to you."
It starts again...
Although Shan Qianyu was impatient, his good upbringing allowed him to endure it.
He opened his eyes and was just about to deal with it, but unexpectedly, he saw a strange and delicate face in the next second.
Qiu Lingxue curled her lips and showed a beautiful smile, looking at the flowers, as bright as the scorching sun.
She smiled and said, "Hello, Earl Henry, I am your crush, Qiu Lingxue!"
Qiu Lingxue acted according to her identity.
In Shan Qianyu's inherent impression, he had always thought that Oriental people were extremely reserved and unwilling to reveal their inner emotions easily.
But after hearing Qiu Lingxue's words, this concept couldn't help but be somewhat shattered.
interesting.
Shan Qianyu's eyes showed a touch of novelty, "Z country person?"
Qiu Lingxue just negotiated with him in Chinese A, but unexpectedly, he still recognized her.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, with surprise on her face.
"how do you know?"
When Lady Margaret saw this, she stopped being a light bulb.
"You guys talk first, I'll go put some make-up on."
As soon as she finished speaking, she left, leaving the two of them some space alone.
"Although your spoken English is very good, your pronunciation still has some characteristics that are unique to you people from China."
Shan Qianyu paused and changed the language, "I also know a little bit of your language. We can communicate in Chinese."
Qiu Lingxue knew that the man in front of her was not a good person and was pretending to be close to him, but she always had a layer of defense in her heart.
"The count speaks Chinese very well and sounds very nice."
"You can call me by my Chinese name, Shan Qianyu."
Shan Qianyu likes Country Z, a mysterious country in the East, and he also feels a little more fond of Qiu Lingxue in front of him.
He stared at the man in front of him with his beautiful pupils and asked seriously, "Miss Qiu, what did you mean when you said you had a crush on me just now?"
Qiu Lingxue tried her best to play the role of a superficial woman, looking at him with admiration.
"That's what I mean on the surface, I like you, Ayu."
"Ayu?"
This was the first time Shan Qianyu was called that.
Qiu Lingxue's eyes were cold, but her face was full of smiles.
"Your Chinese name is Shan Qianyu. In our country, people close to you are called this way."
Shan Qianyu's eyes stayed on her face, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of concentration.
As a high-end player who hangs out in nightclubs all year round, Qiu Lingxue is very good at flirting with men.
She blinked, leaned over and asked, "Ayu, do you like me to call you this?"
However, Shan Qianyu did not accept her advice. Instead, he asked, "I don't know you. Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?!"
