Chapter 158 Look, isn’t this love?
February 18th.
Night.
Summer nights have arrived in Lunden.
The area where the richest and most powerful people live.
Avril called over and over again.
She counted the time and took it.
"Mom, what happened?"
"Dad had an accident?"
"Sister Wendy is here too. Where are you taking me?"
"..."
Xia Ye said calmly, "Nip it in the bud."
"Trouble? What trouble should we prevent?"
"Your dad will get attention."
"Maybe there will be trouble, maybe not."
"It feels... like it's serious?"
"Yeah. So, listen to Wendy during this time."
"Okay... then what if! If there is anything I can do to help, mom must tell me! I can help too!"
"Yeah."
The phone hangs up.
Xia Ye found a hotel to stay at.
She didn't have any requirements for the room, as long as she made sure it wasn't being monitored and the view was good enough. Be able to respond better and more effectively when situations arise.
Is it the Eagle King family?
It sounded and looked like someone from over seven hundred years ago.
Xia Ye didn't know how long her life would be. But it will definitely take several times longer than normal people.
She knows that this world is not what ordinary people see. Unremarkable.
Same with money.
No matter how bold you are if you hold 1 yuan, you will never consider 1,000 yuan. Because I don’t have that ability.
Of course, the scenery you see when you hold hundreds of billions is different from that of someone who holds one dollar.
So.
When wealth is just a series of numbers, what do people of that class consider? What do you see?
Xia Ye is not curious about that kind of scenery.
But it is undeniable that she is one of the scenery that can be seen after reaching that level.
I didn't choose to delve into the organization that created her.
Because it is far easier to hide and pretend to be dead than to fight.
Royal family?
Even if she is not conferred a title, just by appearing next to her, there is a chance that she will be noticed, and there is a chance that someone who is interested will connect everything together.
The secret of the 'dream' cannot be known to others.
The eldest brother shouldn't get too much attention.
But.
The eldest brother also likes her.
This was the core reason that made Xia Ye feel a little sad and unable to act immediately.
"Have I... been deceived by big brother?"
Ask yourself this.
"No."
And he answered himself.
I have done bad things before.
When the elder brother answered the question, he took it upon himself to observe the details and confirm whether it was a lie.
no.
That's not what a wife should do. Among the ten deadly sins, distrust is the first sin.
……
February 18th.
Night.
Su Ming delayed a little.
Arrived in the front room.
Don't know anyone.
"..."
Classical music is playing. Men and women in gorgeous dresses danced ballroom dances.
"Huh?"
"You are not from the Eliza family, are you?"
Someone noticed Su Ming.
"You...were invited by whom to pay homage to the Queen?"
"Well, that's right."
"That's really good luck for you. Today is the most miraculous and greatest Queen appearance in the history of Eliza's family. I will be decorated by the Queen herself later."
"..."
Naturally yellow hair?
Wearing a white suit. Su Ming doesn't like to be dressed all in white. It doesn't feel stain-resistant at all.
However, the people here are probably either rich or noble. We will not consider whether it is stain-resistant or not.
So Miao Xueer came here by herself...what did she want to do?
Although I have seen many big scenes. But I'm still not used to this kind of scene.
Why are they all desserts?
No meat?
I beg you, I'm too hungry. Have some dessert too.
"How did you..."
The man who was enthusiastic just now saw Su Minghu eating Haisai. Somewhat contemptuous.
But he didn't say anything in a hurry, he just stayed away from Su Ming. Whisper.
"?"
no.
Isn't the dessert here for people to eat?
It's not okay to eat bite by bite, not with your hands, right?
When I first completed some orders that required disguise with Xia Ye, I barely learned some etiquette.
I saw others taking it and eating it.
what?
When the company implements 5S, the toilets are cleaned directly and employees are not allowed to use the toilet. They have to go to a public toilet 500 meters away?
Whatever.
Think whatever you like about love.
Anyway, Su Ming was really hungry. Since a small bite was not enough, he would eat a big bite. Not to mention, the desserts are delicious. It will make people who don't like dessert feel good.
It didn’t take much effort either.
Su Ming walked a few steps further and easily spotted Miao Xueer sitting on the sofa in the inner room. There were several gray-haired old people sitting around.
"Please stop."
"The area in front is off limits without permission."
The maid stopped Su Ming directly.
Don't know why.
Su Ming was standing outside the door, and it was obvious that Miao Xueer inside met his eyes. But he moved away very coldly.
Turn a blind eye to what happened and was blocked from the door.
"Please return to the front lobby."
The door is closed.
Su Ming's mood also changed.
He doesn't understand.
One moment, they were having sex in the bathroom, and the next moment, they weren't even allowed to meet?
So what are you inviting yourself to do?
Doing so many long-winded things.
yes.
It is true that when you are done whispering, you will disappear. Leave behind a bunch of things that can make her live a good life. Kind of born.
Don't make any other excuses.
I am at fault.
If you make a mistake, you will stand up straight and receive a beating without any complaints.
But there is no need for such a cold war. Or a weird way of getting along.
Su Ming casually took a table knife and hid it in his sleeve. My physical fatigue is much better and my spirit is much better.
"Sir, it will soon be time for the Queen to confer honors."
"As usual."
"You will not be allowed to re-enter except in emergencies."
"Yeah."
Su Ming walked out of the door and unbuttoned his shirt that had been neatly buttoned by the maid. Much more comfortable.
"..."
The person coming towards me looked at him with contempt.
It seemed that Su Ming felt that it was rude to leave his tuxedo unbuttoned on such an important occasion. Uneducated.
Su Ming ignored it.
"Aren't you going to join the celebration?"
Only the maid guarding the door of Miao Xueer's dormitory had no prejudice against Su Ming. After all, she knew very well that Su Ming and Miao Xueer had a close relationship.
"No need."
"Can you please help me find a charger. Android one."
"Please wait a moment."
"..."
Get the data cable and plug it in.
In Miao Xueer's bedroom, there is a socket behind the curtain. When powered on, the phone's power saving mode automatically turns off.
There is indeed nothing new after Xia Ye replied "1".
Swipe to her number and call.
Got it.
"Small night."
Seeing the cracked screen reading the call description, Su Ming began to feel thirsty again.
"Brother, how are you doing?"
But it was completely different than expected.
Xia Ye's tone was still the same as most of the time in her memory, calm and gentle.
"This sentence... I should be the one to ask."
"Why? Xiaoye, you are not a child."
"..."
There was a brief silence.
Su Ming spoke again, "Do you already know?"
"Xiaoye, I know a little bit. Not everything."
"..."
Tell her over the phone now?
No.
This is not something that can be explained clearly over the phone or make up for her.
"Sorry."
"I didn't keep my promise. I can't find any excuse."
"Brother, do you like her?"
"..."
Is this Xiaoye?
If you want to ask, just ask.
"Like it."
"Want it too?"
"..."
"Brother, what kind of wife do you think Xiaoye is?"
"There is only one rare, gentle, virtuous and considerate wife in the world."
"No. Xiaoye doesn't mean to praise, it's a true opinion."
"What I just said is my true opinion."
"If Xiaoye wants to lock her eldest brother in the tail for a week and keep shushing him until Xiaoye is satisfied, won't the evaluation change?"
"...No."
"If you don't give honey to drink, you can't replenish your physical strength. Nor?"
"No."
Su Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
It can only be said that everything Sesu can accomplish is nothing.
"Saya wouldn't do that."
"..."
"Big brother, just do whatever you want."
"Xiaoye, there is also something Xiaoye needs to do."
The call was hung up.
It's hard to tell whether Xia Ye is angry or not. Her tone was always calm.
Need a patch?
【Wife, I love you. 】
Toes dug into the ground.
Is it echoing before and after?
Can it really be considered a patch like the 'last words' left behind when it disappeared ten years ago?
Withdraw quickly.
【Xiaoye, I love you. 】
call.
With Xiaoye's temper, she should be fine for the time being. I can have a few days to buffer myself.
Su Ming swiped the address book again.
An Shiyao's side...
Didn't dial it out.
She is different from Xia Ye and Miao Xueer. It was only because I had been through thick and thin with myself and experienced my own 'death' for six years that my acceptance became wider.
Originally, she felt very uncomfortable knowing that she was cowardly with the wife in the shelter.
The reason he told Xia Ye was because the moment he woke up and saw his phone, Su Ming felt that Xia Ye already knew a lot of things. Maybe he even knows Miao Xueer better than himself.
Can't hide it.
You shouldn't hide it from her either.
Where is An Shiyao?
1/3 of my conscience hurts.
Still, don’t tell her yet. Wait a little longer, at least wait until someone is around her.
Make a call.
Not for the sake of confession.
[The other party is temporarily unreachable]
"?"
Got hung up?
"Buzzing."
There is information coming.
【I told you not to think of me】
[If Mr. Su Ming wants to break the precept, I can’t help but call him every day. Mr. Su Ming is responsible for himself. 】
【……】
[I just suddenly wanted to see what you were doing. Have you worked hard? 】
【Make another call】
【No fight. You are right, since it is what the wife wants to insist on. I should support, not break. 】
【So. Yao, I love you. 】
Just be born.
What has come to this is what has come to pass. It is impossible to lead to the ending of "wanting it all" by being led by Miao Xueer all the time.
Who are you?
Plato.
A lonely hero in the apocalypse.
A Sese man who married his wife in a church. The KING of small websites.
Learn the skills Xia Ye said in summarizing orders.
Very simple.
Troubling facts aside.
There is only one goal, want them all.
There is only one direction for our efforts, and we want them all.
There is only one result that must be achieved, all of them.
"Huh..."
Su Ming took a deep breath, threw the phone aside and continued charging.
The thoughts are much clearer.
OK.
It’s okay to fail. At worst, I'll slap her until she cries.
If you don’t have a conscience, then you don’t have a conscience.
Anyway.
There's no way to live without Miao Xue'er, right? Even if she changes, she must be allowed to change back.
How to make up for it later...is a matter later.
……
other side.
The conference room in the front hall.
Miao Xueer thought about the people sitting around Miao Xueer for a long time before remembering them.
It was the child next to her grandma when she woke up last time.
"You are still as beautiful as the one I saw when I was a child."
"My grandfather said that the Queen will actually come in 2023."
"The Eliza family will reach new heights as a result. Please send me as much as you can...even though I am old."
"But loyalty to the Queen is engraved in my bones."
"..."
Although I remembered it.
But Miao Xueer didn't care either.
She was sad.
Ever since I answered the phone, I have been in a bad mood.
Someone came in just now and looked at Plato who wanted to come in. He was not allowed in.
Didn't say anything either.
When he arrived, it was time to start awarding medals.
"Are you going to start awarding medals?"
"Yeah."
But Miao Xueer was already annoyed. I don’t want to sit here anymore and listen to their nonsense.
Will your mood improve if you go out?
I didn’t see Plato. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it.
"Where's Plato?"
Ask the people around you.
"Plato is..."
They didn't know Plato.
"Where's Plato?"
I asked the maid next to me. She knew about Plato.
"Queen, Mr. Plato left the venue sixteen minutes ago."
"Who allowed him to leave?"
"I have clearly informed Mr. Plato that after he left the venue, he could not enter again. I thought he was the queen's guest, so I did not stop him. I was negligent in my duties and the queen punished me. I have no complaints."
"..."
"Before you accept the punishment, Queen, do you need me to bring Mr. Plato to the entrance again?"
"No. No need for punishment, and no need for Plato..."
Miao Xueer can think of many things.
He was not allowed into the conference room. Turn around and leave.
Where to go?
Go get something called a cell phone.
Go talk to his wife.
Feeling extremely irritable.
"Queen...Plato is?"
The old man beside him saw that Miao Xueer was not very happy, so he boldly asked.
They really had never heard of a family like Plato being related to the Eliza family.
"He is the one who is going to be taken to the guillotine and beheaded."
"?"
"Make me a guillotine after the celebration. There is no need for public execution, I will execute it myself."
"..."
Now no one dared to say anything.
"Let's start conferring medals. Let your daughter help me confer medals. I'll watch."
The former Queen was somewhat flattered.
But he still started to host the ceremony in an orderly manner. She has been awarded honors several times and is very used to it.
"In view of your merits and your dedication."
"Only for this reason...in the name of Queen Eliza, I grant you glory."
"..."
But those who came to accept the title were more or less disappointed.
They are all from the Eliza family. Or someone extremely close to Eliza's family.
They came with great interest, in addition to getting the title.
I just want to be awarded the title by the legendary ‘Queen’ herself. Everyone knows that the first batch of people to be awarded honors by Miao Xueer will definitely go down in history.
I can only say it's not bad either.
At any rate, Miao Xueer was sitting there, and this historic moment would definitely be recorded in the Eliza family's book in the future.
"Next, please enjoy some small desserts made by the Eliza family specially invited by the royal pastry chef."
As per usual.
The next step is to exchange some small and medium-sized things and share resources. Then comes the dance.
"Grandma, do you want to dance too?"
Except for the royal family who felt that their bloodline was close to Miao Xueer's, no one dared to invite the queen to dance.
"Don't jump."
"How long does it take to make the guillotine?"
"Well, if you...if you want to make the guillotine according to history, it will take some time."
"But if you just want the guillotine, the museum has the remaining art."
"Where?"
"It's at the Rendon Historical Museum. It's half an hour's drive away. Do you plan on going there after the dance?"
"..."
Miao Xueer looked at the elegant dancing postures of the nobles below. Increasingly irritable.
What does he want?
Are you going to abandon yourself again?
Already out of the castle, escaped?
"Do you think, if I hate a person very much, should I send him to the guillotine?"
"..."
The woman clearly realized that Miao Xueer was not asking whether she wanted to execute someone.
That kind of coy and cold attitude is more like a little girl who is having trouble in love.
"But I would be sad if he were to be executed."
"Ah, since that's the case, you can investigate for a while longer."
"Yeah. You're right, I'll give him another chance."
"..."
The woman wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Something is wrong.
The booklet does not say that the legendary queen is resourceful and possesses absolute power and wisdom. Why is it getting weirder and weirder now?
Who is Plato?
Go back and quickly look through the booklet to see if anyone important to Queen Eliza has left a name.
Miao Xueer was very tired.
My skin drum hurts all the time, and I have to sit all the time.
My chest feels tight.
His gaze never wavered as he stared at the door.
good.
It's already a death sentence.
Given a chance.
"Sir, entry is no longer allowed."
"Don't worry, I promise that no one will trouble you if you let me in."
"..."
Hear a familiar voice.
People in the front hall were also attracted by the noise at the door and looked over.
Don't know why.
Seeing Su Ming in a tuxedo appear at the door again, Miao Xueer's nose couldn't help but feel sore.
Staring at Su Ming.
"Hey, who are you? Which family are you from?"
"Never seen you."
"Even if you are invited here, do you know what it is to intrude on the Queen's celebration?"
"Wait a minute...the queen is looking at him."
At first, some people tried to stop him.
But soon, everyone noticed something strange about Miao Xueer. His eyes were a little blurry and his nose was sniffling.
Like a puppy that was abandoned and picked up by its owner. A proud yet somewhat pitiful expression.
"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"
"When will I leave? Just go back and charge your phone."
"I've found the guillotine. I'm not kidding."
"Let's go to the guillotine. But before going to the guillotine...can you invite Her Highness Eliza to dance? By the way, my ballroom dancing is actually okay."
"?"
The people below watched helplessly as Su Ming stretched out his hand in front of Miao Xueer. Miao Xueer didn't respond, and was frightened when she saw Su Ming forcefully holding Miao Xueer's hand.
"You think...I have to ask you to be a personal guard knight?"
"I have as many bodyguard knights as I want now!"
"If you want to leave, just leave! I don't care!"
"Woo..."
Then.
The Queen they respect, adore, and are loyal to. Little pearls dropped.
"No."
"Who is Plato? How dare he...how can he directly invite the queen to dance?"
"Don't ask."
"The queen has lived for more than seven hundred years...My grandmother and the others dug the queen themselves. There is no falsehood."
"But he is obviously not a royal, not even a European. He is obviously Asian. He can directly dance with the Queen... It seems that the relationship is definitely extraordinary."
"The Queen just asked me where there is a guillotine. If you want to go to the guillotine, you should go and ask the Queen yourself...I won't go anyway."
"Hey...could a man named Plato have lived for more than seven hundred years?"
"Stop talking...pretend not to see."
A strange scene happened.
The man who had blocked and confused him just now was from a royal family or aristocracy. He didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone does his or her own thing. Dance as if nothing happened.
Classical music as well.
I just want to say that I will still secretly peek at the pair in the middle who are dancing awkwardly.
I really can't watch anymore... Who the hell dares to dance and step on the Queen's feet, let alone a nobleman, if he were a member of the royal family, his career would probably end here.
"You know how to dance?!"
"Step on me three times."
"Don't worry, after all, I have never danced with a woman until now."
Su Ming added in his mind.
There is no dancing for the sake of dancing. Completing the order does not count.
"Don't think it's over."
Her foot was stepped on.
"My anger has not dissipated at all."
Being stared at.
"I'm fine, but can Her Highness Eliza bear it like yesterday?"
"Your Majesty Eliza's skin feels weird. Does it hurt somewhere?"
"..."
Crazy being stepped on.
The little hands that were closed began to become grasping.
Su Ming didn't care either.
Isn't it just high heels stepping on your feet? What's the big deal? It's still a reward for some perverts.
It was just like scratching the back of her hand with her fingernails, but it was better to slap her until she cried and scratch her neck in pain.
So, you have to say what you need to say.
He leaned close to her ear.
"What are you doing?! This is the front hall!"
"I just want to say. Xue'er, you have been waiting for me for more than seven hundred years."
"I will make up for it. I will understand little by little what you have been through for more than seven hundred years, and then. I didn't marry you before, but this time... I will really marry you as my wife."
"!"
"I...I have not forgiven you at all. You are just a baron at best now! You want to marry me...at least..."
Maybe.
I saw Miao Xueer looking a little squirmy and snorting.
I feel like I'm back to that era again.
She hasn't changed.
Still can't hide my feelings. Still arrogant.
"If you step on me again, I will send you to the guillotine immediately!"
"..."
It doesn’t matter what the people around you think.
What matters is.
The estrangement between him and Xueer's wife has obviously been reduced a lot. You see, if you are willing to dig your nails into the back of your hand, isn’t this love?
