"Ah, oh." Ryan and Red woke up together, and they quickly sat down in a polite manner. When the servant saw the guests and hosts seated, he immediately started serving food. First, he poured everyone a glass of Bordeaux with a matching set, and then put cheese, cheese, etc. Olives and other appetizers were placed on the table.
Ryan and Red are not outsiders. One has been watched by Luke since he was a child, and the other is basically his future son-in-law, so Luke does not need to greet them like guests, he just collects some fruits casually. , as if waiting for someone,
About ten minutes later, Sophie dressed up and walked into the restaurant. Seeing Faras's sister coming, Ryan quickly stood up to say hello, and Sophie nodded to him, and looked around but did not find Faras. Behind the figure, he asked strangely: "Where's Fanny? Why isn't she here?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Luke deliberately looked unhappy and said: "This little guy really thinks about what he wants to do, and he is not organized at all. She looked at the magisters at the Magic Exchange Conference with their airs. With such a beautiful appearance, I was tempted and wanted to study magic well. Unexpectedly, after entering the magic tower, I remembered that I would not be able to get out without time."
Ryan understood why Luke said this, because not many people knew that Victor and Orlando secretly left the imperial capital, so even in private situations, even if the people around them were Luke's confidants, Luke still couldn't tell this. The matter was so publicized that I had to find a reasonably reasonable excuse.
However, Sophie seemed to know about Victor and Orlando's departure from the imperial capital. She just smiled sweetly, didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to her seat and sat down.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the servants immediately got busy. Salads, vegetables, and cold dishes were placed on the table like water, and there was a cream of mushroom soup in front of everyone. While waiting for the servants to serve, Lu Ke and others chatted casually about leisurely topics, but as long as someone mentioned Victor, Orlando, or the political and military aspects of the imperial capital, they would be immediately taken out by others without leaving a trace, and they would talk about other relaxed topics. question,
When tonight's main dish of lobster was delivered to the table, Sophie raised the crystal cup in front of her and began to bless Luke. Luke accepted his eldest daughter's blessing with a smile and happily matched the Bordeaux in his hand. After finishing the drink, Sophie frowned slightly and reminded her father in a low voice: "Father, you are not young anymore, and you are usually very tired, so you should drink less wine."
Luke waved his hand disapprovingly, pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Look, today's dinner is quite sumptuous. In fact, I haven't had such luxury for a long time. In fact, after I fully took charge of the work in the Imperial City, The time I spend on meals every day is extremely compressed. In order to save time, I have no more than 3 dishes per meal, and I still have my assistant read out reports from various departments in the imperial capital for me while I am eating... "
"Ahem, why am I talking about this?" Luke lightly hit his head and said again: "Actually, what I just meant is that I don't drink at all. It's rare that I'm happy today and you guys are willing to accompany me. Me, of course I’m going to drink a few more drinks. If there’s nothing else, I won’t be doing business tonight. I’ll have a good rest if I’m drunk.”
Sophie was silent. Of course she knew how hard her father worked during this period, because the same was true for her husband Orlando. The two most important men in her life were so outstanding and they were in high positions. , every move affects the fate of tens of thousands of people. Unfortunately, behind the huge halo of her husband is the lonely heart of his wife Sophie. In the past ten years, she and Orlando have been together less and less, but she Never had any complaints,
"It was a sunny afternoon. I still clearly remember that Orlando was just an ordinary knight who had to undergo rigorous training every day..." Sophie gradually immersed herself in the memories of the past.
Seeing his daughter Sophie being silent and staring blankly ahead, Luke knew that she was reminiscing about the past. Luke didn't want to disturb his daughter, so he turned his attention to Ryan.
Ryan hurriedly picked up the crystal glass in front of him, stood up and wanted to toast Luke, but Luke smiled and pressed his hand downwards, and said to him at the same time: "Lian, you are not an outsider, why are you doing this? Well, let’s sit down.”
Ryan sat back in his seat. He raised the crystal cup and said to Luke, "Today is your birthday. On behalf of Fani, I wish you will always be favored by the God of Luck."
"Aha." Luke did not pick up the wine glass, but looked at Ryan with a half-smiling expression: "Who are you, and why are you toasting to me on behalf of my daughter Fanny?"
Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Luke meant by what he said. He just felt a feeling of happiness enveloped his whole body, and he couldn't help but said loudly: "Mr. Luke, I, Ryan, am here to express my gratitude to you." I beg you to marry me your little daughter Farasi."
Luke was slightly stunned. Although he had known that this day would come, and even looked forward to it, when this scene actually appeared in front of him, he was a little confused. He unconsciously picked up the book in front of him. Holding the wine glass, he murmured to himself: "Time flies so fast. Ten years ago, Sophis was also here and said these words, Hey, but the boy Orlando was not there at that time. I didn't expect that ten years ago, Sophie was here. Years later, someone was proposing to my youngest daughter, but my youngest daughter was not there. This is really... "
"Luke, Uncle Luke." Red's low call brought Luke back to his senses. Only then did he remember that there was a young man in front of him who was looking forward to a positive answer from him with very sincere eyes. , so Luke took a slight sip of the wine, then put down the glass, using slow movements to fully whet Ryan's appetite.
After Luke finished all these things, he finally answered Ryan's request: "I don't agree..." When Ryan heard this, his heart stopped for an instant and kept going down. Shen, but Luke's next words made Ryan's heart explode like a fireball: "I don't agree...it doesn't seem to be possible. Alas, the daughter I worked so hard to raise is just taking advantage of you."
"That's great." Ryan was so excited that he threw the crystal cup in his hand into the sky. He stood up from the chair with a bang. At this time, Ryan wanted to do something to express his inner joy, but He has always been very calm and rarely expresses his inner feelings, so Ryan doesn't know what to do.
"Ah." After lying on the spot for about a second, Ryan could no longer control his behavior and emotions. He shouted, stretched out his hand and instantly fired a hot fireball.
