In the early morning, Lux woke up leisurely, and while feeling comfortable all over, she felt a vague sense of soreness.
Immediately afterwards, the embarrassing scenes from last night reappeared clearly, and my dissolute meow was even more exaggerated than a female cat's meow.
"ah!"
She covered her red face, which was burning hot.
Chai Anping was still sleeping soundly, with a crooked smile hanging on his lips, as if he was still enjoying some kind of happiness in his dream.
He put his hand in his arms, holding it firmly, and his broad knuckles felt clearly.
Drinking is bad!
The girl was heartbroken and shocked by Chai Anping's many bad ideas.
"...In this case, I can only pretend that I can't remember what happened last night!" The girl quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep again in her wild thoughts.
After it was completely dark, Chai Anping stayed at the Crown Guard Mansion to have breakfast, but was kicked out by a sullen Lux.
Chai Anping was walking on the road, recalling the madness last night.
"It seems that I still need to exercise Lux's drinking ability occasionally!"
Passing through the downtown area, he could already hear civilians discussing the news about his and Lux's upcoming engagement. It was obvious that Tiana was very concerned about this matter.
Chai Anping stood on a tall building and listened to the people's discussions for a while. He didn't find much negative news before leaving.
At the same time, he also had a clearer understanding of his popularity in the capital...
If it were compared to the online overall selection of Duck King, I must be the top one from beginning to end, right?
As you can imagine, I will definitely have many tea parties to attend today.
He flew directly back to the mansion in mid-air, thus just dodging a large number of aristocratic carriages that were ambushing him halfway, including many aristocratic ladies trying to save the defeat, as well as the retinues walking for the major congressmen.
The servants in the house all looked proud today, and their faces were full of enthusiasm when working. Being able to work in such a noble family was already a very visible thing for them in the neighborhood.
Even when he called Chai Anping "Master", he was a little more enthusiastic.
…
On the other side, after sending Chai Anping away, Lux changed the sheets for herself secretly, then fell down on the bed and rolled around.
"Ahhhh!!!"
“So embarrassing!!!”
Based on her understanding of Chai Anping, he must have seen through her disguise that morning.
As she was rolling around with the quilt in her arms, her body suddenly stiffened.
"The Third seems to have asked us to go and meet together today. Did he forget to tell Gracie?!"
"Let me die!" the girl wailed.
…
Therefore, shortly after returning to the mansion, Chai Anping was confused when he received the news that his servant Miss Mianwei was visiting.
Sitting opposite him, a group of Yingying Yanyan who forced their way in were also confused.
"Damn it, why is that Laxana guy here at this time?"
"Didn't I say that Earl Shelley just left Crownguard House this morning?"
"Damn it!"
"No, even if Laxana received the news, she wouldn't be able to come over so quickly, right?"
"There is a mole, terminate the transaction!"
While they were making eye contact, Chai Anping slowly put down the teacup in his hand, his hands trembling slightly.
If I say that I did not invite this group of people, will Miss Crown Guard believe me?
Olivia, the eldest lady of the Christian family who took the lead, snorted coldly. She suppressed the sisters, and now is a good opportunity to face off with Laxana!
This eldest lady, who has become a loser since more than a hundred chapters, still retains full confidence.
"Earl Shelley, don't worry about us. Please invite Miss Laxana to come in." She behaved dignifiedly and pulled up the hair accessories on her head: "It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"cough--"
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
He got up and decided to go out to greet him personally.
Christian's family has always been unreliable from the oldest to the youngest. Whether it was old Reese who had given him some guidance or Miss Olivia who liked to show love in a high-profile way, they could all give him some new tricks.
Chai Anping's actions made Olivia's expression become solemn. It looked like this would be a difficult battle!
But for the sake of happiness, I, Olivia, will never let go!
Chai Anping quickly arrived at the front door of the manor.
The Crownguard's carriage was parked nearby.
"Your Highness!"
The carriage opened, and Lux was wearing a plain white dress and sitting in the corner of the carriage, looking reserved.
"boarding."
This look made Chai Anping feel itchy. Unfortunately, trouble was ahead of him now. He quickly got on the carriage with a calm smile: "Your Highness, I just came back, why did you come to find me?"
"Hmph~ Your Majesty has summoned us both." Lux pushed away Chai Anping's extended hand, feeling a little precious about her words.
"Ahem, let's take this matter a little later."
Chai Anping wanted to leave directly with Lux, but he was afraid that these aristocratic ladies would set fire to his house if he let them go.
He came over and whispered in Lux's ear to explain the matter clearly.
When Lux heard this, she immediately looked at him deeply, and then listened to Chai Anping's quibble that it was because of the chain reaction caused by the announcement of the engagement.
"Mr. Shelley is so popular."
Lux smiled sweetly at him, and her right hand had already found the soft flesh on Chai Anping's waist and began to torture it.
"Where is it?"
Chai Anping spoke sternly: "It's all a misunderstanding."
"Hmph! Take me there!"
Lux decided to solve a small problem before entering the palace.
Declare sovereignty!
They are all aristocratic ladies in the same circle. Lux and this group of ladies headed by Olivia are just acquaintances, but today they are obviously going to fight with each other.
Chai Anping followed Lux honestly.
On the surface, he looks panicked, but in fact, he is as calm as an old dog, and he even wants to watch a show.
Walking into the reception room, Lux preemptively said: "Oh, sister Olivia! I heard from Gracie that you heard about our upcoming engagement and rushed over to send blessings? Thank you so much!
When we officially get engaged, I will definitely send you an invitation, so be sure to come!"
She had a sweet smile on her face and her voice was full of emotion. She raised her hand and shot Olivia instantly.
Seeing the young lady's words stuck in her throat and her face starting to turn red, Chai Anping quietly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
Lux is really insidious. She directly said that she heard it from him. If Olivia asked him for confirmation, would he still deny it?
impossible.
And in the end, he added a murderous sentence, inviting Olivia to come and watch the ceremony.
Lux has taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!
"Haha..." Olivia smiled a little awkwardly: "We mainly heard about Earl Shelley's deeds of slaying the dragon in Cold Wind City, and we came here specifically to listen to his first-hand story."
When in doubt, change the subject.
Lux stepped forward to join them, and then said: "Speaking of this, I am also a witness, hey! I am also lucky to meet a fiancé like Gracie, but with Sister Olivia's talent and
You are so beautiful, I believe you will be able to meet your own Prince Charming in the future!”
Olivia felt like she was punched in the chest again. This Laxana must be deliberately sarcastic, right?!
When it comes to talent, she really neglects to practice, and she can't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts, mainly because she is spoiled by the Christian family.
As for beauty...
Olivia thinks that she and Lux are at least 50-50 in love, but the rumors in the market... are of course not accurate!
After just two rounds of fighting, poor Miss Olivia was defeated and immediately left with her sisters with an excuse.
Watching them leave, Lux was still humming, muttering something about "coveting other people's fiancés", "being the villain in the book", and "doomed dog".
"Is this a move you learned in a book?" Chai Anping asked curiously after hearing this.
"Yes, I specialize in fighting mistresses!"
"Your Highness is amazing."
Chai Anping was sincerely convinced.
"I want to see what other big shots you can attract, like a charlatan!"
“…How about God?”
"Huh?!" Lux was furious.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding!"
Seeing the white light shining in Lux's hand, Chai Anping immediately stopped teasing her.
…
Climb into the carriage alive and enter the palace.
After the announcement, while waiting for the summons, Chai Anping and Lux wandered around a small garden in the palace.
In the garden, the seasonal flowers have bloomed, and butterflies are looming among the flowers.
"The flowers here are not as beautiful as those in Bandle City."
The girl twisted off a petal and put it on her lips.
Then gently press the petals on Chai Anping's mouth.
"What does it smell like?" she asked with a smile.
"Um……"
Chai Anping glanced at her sideways: "It smells like a cat."
