Chapter 163 Visitors.
Lu Xiao had calmed down his surprise at this time. When he heard Cecilia's words, he knew that the old lady in front of him was teasing her: "How could it be possible? I just didn't expect that you would agree so easily. "I thought I was going to undergo some kind of test."
"Don't you think there is any test? The test starts from the moment you walk in. But you are very good. You can't pretend to be someone's character." " Cecilia is not stingy in praising those she recognizes, but she changes the subject, "But don't be too happy. The Garaudero family can be your backing, and they don't want everything. I hope you will remember to repay me one day when you become stronger.”
From this moment on, Lu Xiao, who heard these words, really fell in love with the silver haired man in front of her. old lady.
Cecilia is obviously very different from the females in the empire. She is a very thoughtful old lady.
The smile on Lu Xiao's face became much more sincere. She didn't say much to express her sincerity, but only said three words: "I will!"
Because more often than not, words are pale and powerless. When there is a critical moment, it is crucial to see what she will do.
Cecilia was very satisfied with her meeting with Lu Xiao today. After chatting about important things, her eyes couldn't help but look at the gifts that Lu Xiao brought.
She naturally recognized the tea leaves. They were all in another delicate box, which made her a little curious: "What is in that box?"
Lu Xiao followed what Cecilia said. He looked in the direction pointed, then stood up with a smile and walked over: "I chose a pair of ornaments that symbolize good luck and good luck. I thought you might like them when you see them."
As she spoke, she opened the box and took out a pair of white chubby cat dumplings with their butts sticking out and snoring.
The two small things are not very big. In addition to being placed, they can also be held in the hands and played with.
As expected, Cecilia couldn’t help but reach out and take it when she saw it: “This is too cute, why do you think I like it?”
“Because my grandmother is also a very cute person. Man!"
Cecilia didn't expect Lu Xiao to be so straightforward. After being surprised, she couldn't help but laugh: "No one has ever said that I am cute, and you are the first one, okay. You are fine!”
The butler standing outside the door was surprised when he heard the laughter coming from inside. This was the first time for him to hear such hearty laughter from His Excellency Cecilia after serving in the Garodro family for so long.
It seems that Mr. Lu Xiao is really capable.
While Lu Xiao was chatting with Cecilia, Duke Galiodero’s Palace once again welcomed a visitor.
It is Athena, Duchess of Leslie.
When the old housekeeper opened the door, he saw surprise in his eyes: "Good day, Your Excellency Athena."
"Good day, Sir Cecilia, is she at home?"
Athena is much younger than Cecilia, but she is still in her 40s, but she is well-maintained and looks just like that. Just over 30 years old.
The old housekeeper welcomed her in, but when he came to the main hall door: "Your Excellency Athena, wait a moment."
"You go." It was not difficult for Athena. Speaking, after all, this is the Duke of Gariodero's palace. She has a purpose for coming here this time, so she should be more humble.
After the old butler entered, he said that Duke Leslie was visiting. Cecilia was a little surprised when she heard this: "What she came to do, she didn't say anything in advance."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiao aside, his heart skipping a beat as he thought of something: "Let her come in."
While the housekeeper was out, Cecilia looked at Xiang Lu Xiao: "You may not have seen this Duke Leslie, but you should have come into contact with the eldest son of her family, Lieutenant General Fred, your father's right-hand man."
Suddenly. Speaking of Lieutenant General Fred, Lu Xiao also suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard of his identity before. No wonder when he heard the three words Leslie just now, he felt very familiar.
It turns out that this is the relationship. Speaking of the male related to Duke Leslie, she has not just met Lieutenant General Fred. Rachel is also the child of Duke Leslie.
Soon, the old butler entered with Duke Leslie.
After the other party came in, when he saw Lu Xiao, he smiled and said: "It seems that I came at a really bad time to disturb Sir Cecilia from meeting the little guest."
"What guest? , She is my granddaughter, Lu Xiao, Xiao Xiao, I have met Duke Leslie. "
"Good day, Duke Leslie." Lu Xiao stood up and said hello without any hesitation.
Duke Leslie, who had been looking at her, couldn't help but smile: "Lu Xiao, it turns out you are Lu Xiao. I have been hearing people mention you recently, and I finally met you today. It turns out you are." A very special little female. I heard that you currently only have one husband. My Fred happens to be your father’s lieutenant general. I heard that you worked together not long ago. You should know something about it. Let him do it for you. How about the househusband?”
Lu Xiao didn't expect that as soon as Duke Leslie came in, he would start thinking about her without saying anything, and he would bring up old things again.
Lu Xiao quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't know something. My father also intended to match us up before, but I didn't have the intention to find a househusband, so for the first time When I met with Lieutenant General Fred, I already expressed my clear intention, and Lieutenant General Fred also expressed his understanding, so I’m afraid I can’t accept your kindness.”
“It’s not that you didn’t treat each other well before. Do you understand? Now that you have become familiar with each other, isn’t my Fred better than your side husband?”
This sentence is not as friendly as it sounded before.
Lu Xiao frowned slightly.
"Besides, which female in the empire now has many males in her family, so don't you feel tired of being alone?"
When Duke Leslie said these words, Lu Xiao had already sat back down. He took the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. He seemed to have completely lost the respect he had shown before.
Cecilia took this scene into consideration, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to conceal it, but in fact it was to suppress the corners of her lips that could not help but rise.
Duke Leslie also felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. Even if she came with a purpose, there was no reason. After she came in, they were all sitting, and she was the only one standing!
Made her seem inferior.
Thinking of this, Athena immediately sat down and said: "Even your grandmother's family has five males!"
Hearing Duke Leslie taking herself as an example, Cecilia finally accepted it. Unable to tolerate the other party's stupidity: "Your Excellency Athena, what's the matter with coming here today?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just me. I think Your Excellency Lu Xiao is pretty good, and I want to help my unsatisfactory male cub. As a matchmaker, if Mr. Lu Xiao is willing, our Leslie family and the Gary Odro family will be related in the future, right?”
