Alex turned around and smiled: "Are you here?"
Ming Na walked over and tugged on the corner of his robe: "What's going on? Why are you packing your luggage?"
Alex smiled and said, "Are you talking about those two boxes? Those were just delivered by my housekeeper. He said he was afraid that my life here would not be as comfortable as at home, so he specially sent some household items."
"Huh?" Ming Na was a little surprised. She walked over and opened the box and took a look. Sure enough, there were dishes, tableware, drinks and tea sets, pens and papers, books, and even several sets of nightgowns and slippers. "Does your family know you are here? Didn't they persuade you to go back?" Judging from this attitude, it seemed that he was planning to let him settle outside for a long time.
"Not long after I bought Green House, they knew about it. My brother and sister didn't object to me moving out. As for my father..." Alex smiled self-deprecatingly, "Even though he originally wanted me to go back, now I probably I also think it’s better if I’m not at home? At least no one will hinder his wedding.”
"Wedding?" Mingna looked back at him in surprise, "Is it confirmed?"
"It was confirmed yesterday. The housekeeper just informed me that the date is at the end of May."
"So fast?!" Ming Na couldn't believe it. It usually takes several months to prepare for a noble wedding. If it's a royal wedding, it might take half a year. Although Alex's father remarried, the timing was too hasty, right
Alex had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Originally, he was a little shaken, but the second prince's situation has been very good recently, so he is anxious again. In order to ensure that he can attend the king's birthday celebration as a member of the queen's family, so that he can be in time The second prince became his uncle before he officially took over as the crown prince. He would rather rush it and hold the wedding as soon as possible. My father... is always so naive."
Ming Na was anxious: "What should we do? Didn't you say there is a way to stop this? There is only less than a month left, what should we do?"
Alex looked up at Ming Na with gentle eyes: "Are you very concerned about this matter? Why? Is it because of me?"
"What are you talking about?!" Mingna pushed him anxiously. "Of course I care about your affairs. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother to care whether your father remarries or not. Who is he marrying? Tell me!"
Alex suddenly smiled. She was beaten several times by Ming Na. Then he begged for mercy: "Okay, okay. Stop fighting. I know you care about me." He held her hand. Zhengse said: "I do have a way to prevent this wedding. But to be honest, I am very hesitant. Although this method is beneficial to our family, it is difficult to say whether it will have a negative impact on the country. No. It's a last resort. I don't want to harm the national interests. But the letter I just received and the news brought by the housekeeper made me make up my mind."
Ming Na looked serious: "What is the solution? Why will it harm the national interest? Alex. Don't do bad things!" Thinking of him saying that he had just received a letter. She turned to look at the letters on the table. Then he reached for it.
But Alex put the letter into the storage wristband before her. Ming Na was a little angry: "Don't you trust me? Don't you want me to know the contents of the letter?"
Alex sighed. Hold Ming Na's hand tightly. Zhengse said: "If possible. I really don't want you to know. It's not that I don't trust you. But once you know the truth, it means you have to take responsibility. I don't know whether this method will succeed. What if? I failed. Or got in trouble for it. At least. I hope you won't be blamed for knowing about it and not reporting it."
The more Ming Na listened, the more frightened she became: "Alex. Are you going to do something dangerous? Don't do it!"
Alex's eyes became more and more gentle: "No, the matter is not dangerous, but if the timing is not good, it may anger some noble people. Now that you are in contact with the Security Agency, and you are friendly with me, I I’m afraid they will blame you. If you don’t know from the beginning to the end, you don’t need to bear any responsibility.”
Ming Na stared into his eyes for a long time before uttering: "You really can't say it?"
Alex shook his head: "I'm sorry." After a pause, he added: "Actually, this is an internal matter within our family and has nothing to do with national security. I won't let you be caught in the middle."
Ming Na lowered her head and whispered: "Okay." Although she was worried, she still trusted Alex's character. Although he said that he might harm the national interests, since he was a member of the Mandheling family, The business is probably just to protect one or two family members from state punishment, right
Alex breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you for your trust in me. But... there is one thing I must apologize to you for."
Ming Na glanced at him: "What?"
"I have a long trip and will leave tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spend May Day with you."
Ming Na opened her mouth wide: "What did you say?! Where are you going? How long will you be going?"
Alex pursed his lips: "I will be back before the wedding."
Ming Na pouted dissatisfiedly: "I also planned to ask you to be my May Day dance partner! Winnie and the others specially ordered a new dress for me based on your blue dress, but you left..."
Alex blinked: "Cinco de Mayo dance partner?"
"Of course, if I were to go to a dance on Cinco de Mayo, who else would I choose to be my dance partner besides you?"
Alex suddenly laughed, smiling so happily that Mingna felt uncomfortable: "What are you laughing at?"
He didn't answer, just hugged Mingna gently. She froze and wanted to break away, but he held her tighter and tighter.
She stammered and asked, "What are you doing?" It was strange, why did her heart suddenly beat faster? And your face is still hot? Is she sick
Alex let her go, but held her hand again: "Mingna, I'm very happy."
"Why are you happy?!" Ming Na broke away from his hand and took a few steps back, "You are so weird today!" She still felt her face was hot, and she noticed that the other person's eyes were staring at her, and the heat gradually increased. My heart was beating faster than before.
She thought she was really sick.
"Mingna, I'm not surprised, it's just that you don't understand yet." Alex didn't look away. "During the days when I'm gone, you can think more about it, okay? Think about what will happen between you and me in the future. So. I'm working hard, and I hope you can work hard with me, at least to understand your own thoughts."
Ming Na didn't know how she got back to the Rose Garden, or how she ate, took a shower, and went to bed. She only felt that her mind was in chaos. At one moment, it was Alex's eyes that begged her to think about the relationship between the two. It was the heat in his hands when he hugged her, and his seriousness when he accompanied her to study the ancient potion formula.
When fighting against the monsters, fighting back to back with herself... She couldn't help but overdo it. In the darkness, she seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and the heat continued to the roots of her ears and did not dissipate for a long time.
When she got up the next day, she had thick dark circles on her face. Winnie was startled and she hurriedly found something to put on her eyes. She didn't care about this, she hurriedly washed herself and changed her clothes, stuffed a piece of bread into it randomly, and ran to the Green Room to find Alex.
There was silence in the room, except for a note and a bunch of keys left by the owner on the table. The note said that he had made an appointment with someone else to set off together. It was still early, so he would not go over to say goodbye to her and ask her forgiveness.
Ming Na picked up the note and twisted it several times, but then flattened it out reluctantly, put it away, and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole! I won't forgive you! When you come back, I will definitely find you. Settlement!"
After venting her anger, she looked up and looked around, and she suddenly felt a little lonely in her heart.
~~~~======~~~~========
Ming Na was always worried about Manda, so when she saw that the time was almost up, she rode to the Cardiff mansion. When she got there, she found that Bowie...Chelsea brother and sister had already arrived.
Hubert was still handsome and more aristocratic than when he was a boy. He looked at Minna for a moment, then stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to twist her fingers, and bowed to her: "Nice to meet you, Miss Minna. I I really didn't expect that the little girl who once experienced the storm together at sea has grown into such a charming lady today that I almost can't take my eyes away." He glanced back at his sister with some complaints: "Better Enka, why didn’t you mention it to me after you went back last night?”
Bianca glared at him: "It's so late at night, there are so many people, how can I recognize them? Besides, isn't it even more surprising to find out now?"
"Indeed, very surprised." Hubert turned back and smiled at Minna.
Ming Na smiled dryly and curtsied, then quickly retracted her hand and sat next to Beryl. The latter glanced at her, raised his glass and took a sip of milk tea without saying anything.
Hubert, on the other hand, had already described the situation on the ship with great emotion. Bianca added a few words from time to time. Elon listened with interest, occasionally asked a few small questions, and finally missed him very emotionally. I met my father for a moment and deeply regretted that I had never had the experience of traveling with him. When he said these words, his eyes glanced in Bianca's direction many times.
Bianca was wearing a beige dress today, with a popular wide square collar, revealing her slender collarbones and snow-white skin. Her golden wavy hair was draped over her shoulders, reflecting her beautiful sea-blue eyes and the corners of her lips. A smile makes her look even more charming. She wore almost no jewelry, only an ancient sapphire brooch casually pinned to her collar, which just matched her eyes. A slender ankle bone was exposed under the skirt, and she wore champagne-colored satin shoes. It looks even more compact.
Elon looked at those feet frequently, and was reminded by his eldest son coughing several times before he shifted his attention: "Did you say that you just got a seat in the Noble Council this year? That's really amazing! You should be the youngest one. Are you in position?"
Hubert smiled triumphantly: "Indeed, I have heard it from several senior members. But this is meaningless. No matter how young you are, you will grow old one day. What I focus on is how this seat will benefit me. What changes will it bring to the family?”
"But it's really amazing." Elon lowered his voice slightly, "And I heard that the business firm under your name has just opened its 18th branch in Xicheng. Your Chelsea jewelry stores have spread all over the country. There are three families in the east! It is really amazing that a young nobleman like you can achieve such an achievement."
Hubert shrugged: "It's nothing. The people under me are quite capable. I usually only need to decide the general direction and leave the rest to them."
"It's amazing to be able to discover the talents of your subordinates."
"Just give them a chance. Speaking of which..." Hubert smiled at Elon, "I admire the Jones brothers very much. It would be great if you are willing to part with me."
"Hahaha..." Elon laughed.
Ming Na looked at the two men smiling at each other and felt a little bored, so she asked Beryl in a low voice: "Where is Manda? Didn't you say that you want to talk about what happened to her yesterday?"
Beryl glanced at her and just said, "Still upstairs" before shutting up.
Elon then asked about the marriage of Hubert and his sister: "You must have many admirers for such outstanding young people, right? Are you engaged? Can you tell us about it? If there is no final decision, I will be very happy to help you." Introduced.”
Bianca smiled sweetly and said nothing, but Hubert said: "That's great. Gutenberg doesn't seem to have a suitable partner. It would be great if we could find someone in Ito. You probably don't You know, I often worry about my future wife, love seems far away from me."
Ming Na, who was drinking tea, took a small sip and quickly put the tea cup down and sat down.
Yilong didn't notice her situation: "How could it be? You are so sexy, you should be very popular, right?"
Hubert sighed: "Perhaps I have too high requirements for my future wife? I hope that Bowie...the mistress of the Chelsea family is a strong and intelligent woman. She cannot be an ordinary aristocratic daughter who is obedient, and I myself I hope my wife will have outstanding beauty. Because of this, I haven’t found a suitable candidate yet.”
"Oh?" Elon raised his eyebrows and glanced quickly at his eldest daughter, arousing the latter's alertness.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the living room door. Lilith helped the maid in, followed by Manda, whose face was still a little pale.
Ming Na hurriedly stood up and went to meet her, supporting Manda: "Are you okay? Are you feeling better?" Manda forced a smile: "Much better, thank you for the medicine."
Elon repeatedly asked them to sit down, and then said to his wife: "Why didn't you come down just now? Mr. Hubert and Miss Bianca talked a lot with us. It turns out that the fate between our two families started as early as ten years ago. , no, maybe it can be traced back to decades ago!”
Lilith smiled in response and turned to Bianca: "I have already asked Manda, but she was in too much pain to explain clearly. What is going on? Why did the queen say... that we Manda should go to the Vatican?" The Central Holy See is a saint? Isn’t this trying to harm my daughter?! Why...why does she say such things?!"
(It starts again...the plots are linked one after another. It's so painful...please vote for me a few more little pinks. Please note that they are pink votes~~~)
