"Oops—" Steele suddenly exclaimed softly and frowned slightly.
Liz, who was helping Steele get ready for bed, immediately asked with concern: "What's the matter? Madam? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Steele smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that this little guy kicked me again."
Liz pursed her lips and smiled: "It seems that the young master's personality is much more naughty than the master's. He likes to make trouble in his stomach whenever he has nothing to do."
Steele shook his head slightly: "It's not necessarily a boy. In fact, relatively speaking, I prefer daughters."
"But daughters can't inherit the family business. Not only does the master have a title now, but he also has a family business as big as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Don't you, madam, want to have a son to inherit it?" Liz said.
Steele frowned and glanced at Liz, intending to refute her words, but he knew that Liz was right.
Although there are many women inheriting family businesses in Sainz Continent, and there are even queens, but traditionally speaking, there is still a higher voice for boys to inherit the family business.
Otherwise, His Royal Highness Prince Eric would not have a much higher support rate than His Royal Highness Princess Sevigny among the great nobles in the Lampali Kingdom who valued tradition.
"It's okay. Xu Yi has always said that he also prefers girls. Even if he gives birth to a daughter, he will definitely be very happy." Steele touched his belly and comforted himself.
Perhaps because he felt his mother's touch, the child in his belly started to fuss again, causing Steele to frown deeply.
"This little guy... still has more than two months, can't he wait to come out?" Steele couldn't help laughing and thought about it. Just stand up. "Forget it, Liz. Let's go for a couple of walks to calm him down."
"Okay, let the young master go for a walk." Liz smiled, helped Steele up, and walked out the door.
After Xu Yi left, Nuo Da's Falling Star Manor seemed much deserted than usual because the male owner was missing. After Linda was sent away by Steele, Falling Star Manor became even more deserted. Now that it was late at night, there were only four people in the entire manor, including Vivian and Teresa, so it naturally seemed extremely quiet.
However, Steele originally liked this kind of peaceful environment, and she didn't like the presence of outsiders, so she always disagreed with Xu Yi's idea of hiring some additional servants.
Glancing at Liz beside him, Steele thought that although Liz was a female slave brought back by Xu Yi from the Principality of Standing, Xu Yi never regarded her and Linda as slaves. They both looked like Weiwei. An treated them like family members.
Now that everyone has been together for a long time, Steele is used to their presence. Treat them as family members as well.
Thinking of Linda, Steele suddenly asked Liz: "Liz, this time I sent Linda over but left you here. Do you hate me in your heart?"
Liz originally had a smile on her face, but when she heard Steele's question, she was immediately startled. Instead, her face was filled with shock. She shook her head and said: "Madam, how can I hate you? You must not Misunderstanding, absolutely not!"
Seeing Liz's eager look, Steele smiled and patted her hand that was supporting him, comforting: "Don't be nervous, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask you if you are a little dissatisfied." Didn't you go to serve Xu Yi with Linda this time? "Tell the truth."
Seeing Steele's serious expression, Liz hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Well... I envy Linda very much. She can always serve the master personally and stay by his side... Ah, no, madam, I am not interested in serving you. If you have any opinions, I also like to be by your side..."
"It's okay. You like to serve Xu Yi. That's what you should do. After all, he is your master." Steele smiled.
"Hmm... Actually, I envy Linda, mainly... mainly because... the master is alone outside these days and is lonely at night, so Linda can stay with him..." Liz's pretty face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head and whispered softly.
Steele smiled slightly: "You don't have to be so envious. I don't know if Xu Yi, a blockhead, can understand Linda's heart and accept her."
After hearing this, Liz couldn't help but raise her head and said to Steele with a wry smile: "Madam... to be honest, don't be angry."
"Tell me what I have to be angry about."
Liz paused and said: "Actually, I feel strange many times. Master is really slow in this regard. How did you get... with him at that time? Of course, you are the only woman I have ever seen. The most beautiful among them, but I think the owner doesn’t seem to care much about it.”
"You're right." Steele nodded. "Xu Yi is a piece of wood. He is really slow in this regard. The reason why I can be with him is probably because we had more contact with each other at the beginning, so we got to know him before anyone else. If it's fair now, If there’s competition, Evita might have a better chance.”
"Dean Evita?" Liz frowned and thought for a moment. "Madam, since you are worried about Dean Evita, why don't you let the master have less contact with her?"
"The more we deliberately limit this kind of thing, the more likely it will be counterproductive. Moreover, Xu Yi and Evita are discussing normal work together. How can I limit it?" Steele shook his head. "Xu Yi definitely doesn't like my stingy approach. I think the main reason why I was liked by him in the first place was my personality. So I always remind myself not to become annoying to him."
Liz sighed: "Madam, it seems that you really love your master so much that you actually care about his opinion so much."
"Say it like you don't care." Steele pinched Liz's cheek and felt the smooth touch of his fingers. Thinking that Liz and Linda were actually two or three years younger than her, Steele couldn't help but sigh. : "Although I think I look pretty good, people will grow old after all. Xu Yi said that what he cares about most is a person's personality, not his appearance. So I hope to continue to impress him with these. As for As for appearance, let’s leave it to girls like you and Linda to satisfy him.”
Liz's pretty face blushed again, but she couldn't help but frown: "But the master never cares much about our appearance,... and body."
Steele smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how stupid he is, he is still a normal man after all, isn't he? The child in my belly. That's the obvious evidence, isn't it? Linda has been with him all the way. I think He will eventually be unable to bear it. When he comes back with Linda, I will find an opportunity for him to be alone with you. It depends on you whether you can seize the opportunity. "
Liz's face suddenly showed surprise: "Really? Thank you so much, madam!"
Seeing Liz's happy face, Steele shook his head slightly.
Although Steele behaved extremely generously on the surface, as a woman, how could she not care at all about her husband being with another woman
But Steele knew better that with Xu Yi's current status, the temptations he faced were endless. No matter how strong his self-control is, no matter how determined his will is, there will always be a day when he cannot hold on.
Rather than doing this, it is better to let go of these thoughts.
At the very least, Steele wouldn't find it difficult to accept Liz, Linda and Xu Yi being together.
The two of them were chatting about what was going on with Xu Yi and Linda at the moment while wandering around the manor.
After walking for about ten minutes, they had already walked around more than half of Luo Xing Manor and arrived near Xu Yi's study.
Seeing the door of the study room in front, Steele remembered that no matter how busy Xu Yi was at work. I would go back to Falling Star Manor in the evening and work in this study for a while. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and after thinking about it, she motioned for Liz to open the door to the study and walked in.
The magic lamp illuminated the study. Steele looked around and sat down behind the desk in the center of the study.
Thinking of Xu Yi sitting on this chair at night and concentrating on his work, Steele suddenly couldn't help but feel a strong longing for Xu Yi in his heart. He couldn't help but lay on the desk, trying to feel Xu Yi from the table. The warmth that you usually feel at home.
However, just as he climbed onto the table, Steele frowned, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Seeing the strange look on Steele's face, Liz asked quickly.
Steele waved his hand, but took his arm away and put his face directly on the desk, even moving back and forth a certain distance.
Seeing Steele's actions, Liz looked puzzled.
However, she knew very well that her wife would never do such a boring thing, so there must be a reason for it.
Steele put his face on the desk, seemingly deep in thought, thinking about something.
After a while, Steele raised his head and observed carefully on the desk. He looked through the documents and books on the desk, then bent down with difficulty, observed the environment under the desk, and at the same time opened the The desk drawers were carefully examined.
Liz was a little strange. Steele's series of actions were as if a thief had entered the study.
However, although this Luoxing Manor seems to have no guards and is lax, the owner of the manor, Xu Yi, and the mistress Steele are both very high-level magicians, and Steele's grandfather is even more powerful. Great magician, so there are actually many complex magic circle traps arranged around Luo Xing Manor, and it is impossible for any thief to break in easily.
After checking the environment near the desk, Steele went to the bookcase against the wall on the other side of the study, glanced over, and landed on a grid in the middle of the bookcase.
Steele did not open the display window, but put a finger on it, and with the magic power flowing in his body, he reached towards the bookcase.
After a while, a light blue light lit up on the window.
At the beginning, this light blue light was very stable, like a small light dotting the window. However, when Steele continued to input magic power for a period of time, this light blue light gradually began to become unstable. It stood up, flickered for a while, and then suddenly disappeared.
Steele opened the window and looked at the small magic circle connected to the gap in the window, his pretty face turned gloomy.
All the findings proved one thing, someone broke into this study secretly.
But who could this person be? (To be continued!
