Chapter 36 Breaking off the Engagement
In the banquet hall, a group of well-dressed men and women were gathering in small groups and whispering.
"Miss Lu is really lucky, she can get this back."
"So, her wedding to His Highness Heffel will still be held as usual?"
"Ah? Do you really want to marry her? Didn't she inherit none of the Lu family's powers?"
The huge door of the banquet hall was pushed open. At this moment, the air in the hall became hot with Lu Zhizhi's appearance, and all the whispers stopped abruptly the moment she walked in.
Lu Zhizhi was wearing a dress that the head maid had matched for her. She was wearing a floor-length slim-fitting long skirt. The whole skirt was a gradient blue and was inlaid with fine diamonds by hand. From a distance, it looked like the Milky Way night sky was being worn on her body. Same.
The cut of the skirt perfectly fits the curves of her body. It is a halter-neck and backless style. Lu Zhizhi's back is very thin, and her beautiful butterfly bones are like angel wings. Her waist is full and she can look like four with every gesture. Words: delicate body and soft body.
Lu Yuan was surrounded by a group of people chatting. When he saw Lu Zhizhi's skirt, he frowned slightly.
Heffel was hugging a certain noble female concubine. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Zhizhi walking in. He glanced there and froze.
His hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly with excitement, but he kept restraining the idea of stepping forward.
The men standing opposite Heffel had obviously noticed Lu Zhizhi, and their eyes were burning. Some people even straightened their waists unconsciously, trying to get into her sight with the most perfect posture.
Heffel was casually teasing with the woman in his arms just a second ago, but when he saw their gazes, his face suddenly turned cold.
"Talk to me, who are you looking at."
The men quickly turned around, raised their glasses and smiled apologetically at Heffel.
The few noble ladies who had been talking about Lu Zhizhi behind his back had a trace of jealousy in their eyes at this moment, but in an instant they put on smiling faces and surrounded him with exclaims.
"Zhizhi, great, you are finally back."
"Yes, we all miss you so much."
"Where have you been? Why did you disappear suddenly?"
Lu Zhizhi took a sip of the juice in the wine glass. She didn't know anyone in front of her, but they seemed to be very enthusiastic about her, so she followed the words Lu Yuan had taught her in advance: "I went on a long journey and only came back recently."
A girl was the first to attack: "Oh? How did I hear that it was because Heffel wanted to break off the engagement with you, and you were so sad that you ran away from home."
After saying that, she pretended to cover her mouth and said with an annoyed look: "Oh, why did I mention this to you and remind you of sad things again? I'm sorry."
Lu Zhizhi felt confused at the moment. Should she cooperate with her sadness now, because Lu Yuan solemnly stated that no one should discover her amnesia.
Before I could figure out how to act, I heard a chuckle from behind.
"Break off the engagement? Who said that?"
Lu Zhizhi looked over and saw a man in gorgeous palace attire walking over. He was noble and handsome, with lipstick marks on his slightly open collar, adding a bit of extravagance.
The noble ladies surrounding her immediately knelt down and saluted, shouting: "Your Highness Heffel."
Heffel shook the wine glass in his hand and mocked the girl who just spoke with a smile: "Are you lying under my bed, or are you squatting at the door of my villa every day? Do you know whether I will break off the engagement or not?"
"I, that's what I heard."
"Oh, I heard that, then did you hear that your father is now at the bottom of the Senate? I'm afraid he won't even be able to touch the gates of the three cities next year."
Heffel took a sip of wine, his tone was neither salty nor sarcastic, but his eyes were as cold as biting frost.
"If you don't take advantage of Miss Lu today to enjoy the atmosphere of the upper class, if you get out tomorrow, who will still know you?"
The girl's face suddenly turned pale, her body was shaky, and she quickly left with a look of humiliation, followed by several of her little sisters.
At this time, Heffel was standing three steps away from Lu Zhizhi, looking at her quietly.
Lu Zhizhi tilted his head and looked at the man in front of him curiously. His face was like a graduate work of Nuwa, and his figure was like a walking clothes rack, letting people see his long legs first.
She always felt that the other person had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Is he his fiancé?
Lu Zhizhi was about to speak to him when he saw the woman next to him wrapped around his arm like a water snake and said coquettishly: "Why does your highness have to be as knowledgeable as those pretty ladies? Didn't you just say you wanted to drink from my mouth?" Wine? I’ll give it to you.”
Lu Zhizhi immediately took back the steps he took.
It seems that what those noble ladies said is true, and the engagement between Heffel and her should be terminated soon.
Great, one less person to deal with. Lu Zhizhi controlled this little bit of luck and didn't dare let anyone see her clues.
The girl lowered her eyelashes, lowered her head slightly, looking a little sad, and then quietly turned around and left.
Heffel moved his lips and wanted to stop her, but he met Lu Yuan's eyes.
At this time, Lu Yuan was holding Lu Zhizhi's arm, lowering his head and saying something in her ear, but his eyes were looking straight at Heffel, as if warning.
Heffel's chest rose and fell restrainedly, and the fingertips holding the wine glass turned white with force.
The two men's gazes clashed silently in the bustling crowd. In the end, Heffel could only watch as Lu Yuan's hand touched the delicate snow-white back and led her to a group of nobles, chatting and laughing.
Heffel licked his back teeth, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
The woman next to him was still wrapped around his arm and was squealing, but the next second he grabbed her by the neck. The man's sinister voice sounded in her ears: "I hate disobedient things."
The woman's lips trembled with fear, and throughout the whole party, she didn't dare to stick to him again because she was smart.
Lu Zhizhi was led by Lu Yuan to meet a group of people from the upper class. He had already drank three glasses of juice, but he didn't remember many of them.

She absent-mindedly poked the small cake on the plate in front of her with her fork. Lu Yuan was talking to the people on the side, but his eyes looked towards her from time to time. When he found that many men were staring at her back eagerly, his eyes quench.
Suddenly, Lu Zhizhi felt a coat fall on her shoulders.
She raised her head, blinked at him, and said, "I'm not cold."
"Clothed."
Lu Yuan didn't allow her to take it off, so Lu Zhizhi had to keep it on.
He sat on the chair next to her and watched her insert the cake into the mud.
After a long while, a deep voice sounded: "Unhappy?"
Lu Zhizhi didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "No."
But it was clear on her face that she was unhappy.
Lu Yuan looked at her in silence for a while and said, "I have news about Feng Heng."
Sure enough, Lu Zhizhi stopped digging in the cake.
She looked at Lu Yuan without saying a word, just looking at him with watery eyes.
Lu Yuan was unmoved and just said: "I heard from Ms. Ke Wen that you haven't eaten well every day recently."
"I will eat well."
Lu Zhizhi leaned closer to his body, and Lu Yuan's arm happened to be resting on the back of her chair. From other people's perspective, it looked like Lu Yuan was holding his sister in his arms.
She bit her lower lip and shouted: "Brother."
Lu Yuan's eyes darkened, he leaned back and distanced himself from her.
But the man seemed to feel that it was not far enough, so he stood up and said before leaving: "Feng Heng has returned to the main star safely and passed the supervision meeting of the Central Command. He is expected to be reinstated soon."
Lu Zhizhi hurriedly asked: "That's serious."
Lu Yuan seemed to know what she was going to say, so he stuffed a pink macaron into her mouth and blocked her mouth.
"Follow the conditions this time first."
After saying that, Lu Zhizhi didn't wait for him to finish chewing, he stretched out his long legs, put on his calm look again, and went to talk to others.
"It's true that brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly"
Lu Zhizhi muttered in a low voice. After finishing a macaron, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
She turned her head to look, and saw a snake that came from nowhere was slithering on her shoulder. The blood-red nobuko touched the back of her neck, causing her to become petrified!
A feminine voice sounded from behind: "Long time no see, little Qiangwei."
