An Ning pushed away the man beside her and stood up from the ground.
"Let's go back quickly, it's going to be dark soon."
She took off the suit on her shoulders and handed it to Chris. He supported it with one hand, got up from the ground, and stood up. The white shirt was slightly wrinkled, and the neckline was not on purpose. He unbuttoned two buttons, revealing his honey-colored chest and attractive collarbone...
He glanced at the clothes in An Ning's hands, and reached out to take them. After An Ning took two steps, the coat fell on her shoulders again.
"The temperature difference between day and night is large, so it's better to wear clothes."
Chris helped her gather up her coat, took her hand naturally, and walked towards the door.
An Ning grabbed his clothes and followed him with his head down, silently, without making a sound or struggling.
In the afterglow of the evening, watching the two people walking slowly on the green lawn, followed by a clingy big yellow dog, the scene is particularly beautiful.
…
"You are An Ning, welcome. Yesterday, because I had something to do, I couldn't meet you immediately."
As soon as he entered the room, Henry stepped forward and said to An Ning with a smile on his face. His eyes were full of emotion and love, as if An Ning was like his own child.
"It's really beautiful. The decision I made with your grandfather was right."
Abel and Laura stood behind Henry, looking directly at An Ning. She was surprised to find that, except for Laura's dislike for her, there was no arguing like yesterday.
"Laura and Abel are the same, right? An Ning's temperament is much better than that of some family daughters. Let her be your sister-in-law?"
Hearing Henry's straightforward expression, An Ning blushed immediately, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Henry, don't be joking, Chris and I... are just boyfriend and girlfriend relationships now."
"That's just for now, maybe the future!"
Even though Henry is over half a century old, he still looks mature and handsome, and the years have not left many marks on his face or body.
Jenny was wearing an elegant long dress, and echoed from the side: "That's what my dear said."
When they saw the coat An Ning was wearing, they couldn't hide the satisfaction in their eyes.
"I think An Ning will agree to marry me."
Chris smiled and said, An Ning glared at the people beside her. Why do foreigners speak so bluntly
Anna also stood aside happily, and Abel stared at An Ning for a long time, then he pulled Laura and said, "She looks better than many black-haired women."
Laura glanced at An Ning again, and pulled Abel back to the sofa.
SpongeBob SquarePants is playing on the LCD TV with a huge screen. They hold their favorite toys and watch with gusto.
Henry and Chris sat on the side, while An Ning sat on a smaller single sofa.
"Dad, you said you have a tricky task?"
The two men were whispering at the side, and they could only vaguely hear some words. In addition, the communication between their father and son was very fast. An Ning claimed that her English was broken, but she was not being modest, she was really making do.
It is good to be able to chat and understand everyday language. If someone speaks faster, it is probably like listening to a bible.
She didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, so she just lowered her head and continued to read her notes, gesturing something in her hand. Occasionally, I looked up at Chris, and saw his hand holding his chin, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he had encountered something very difficult.
During the meal, David's family was still normal. Irene helped feed the two younger siblings. Jenny seemed to know what the two father and son were talking about just now, and she didn't make a sound. The atmosphere was a bit depressed throughout the meal.
"That... I may be more polite to ask like this."
An Ning couldn't help but said, "May I ask if you have encountered any difficulties?"
Jenny shook her head: "It's okay, please don't worry, we can handle this small matter."
Sitting next to An Ning, Chris stopped with his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "You want to know?"
"Chris!"
Henry obviously didn't agree with him telling An Ning about the matter, and she said directly: "Mr. Henry, I have already troubled you by living in your house. If there is any trouble and you need help, please let me know."
"I will definitely do my best to help you. After all, I came here not to travel and enjoy, but to practice."
Chris chuckled, seeing An Ning unskillfully cutting the steak on the plate, he naturally took the knife and fork in her hand, and skillfully helped her cut the steak into countless small pieces.
"You eat first, and I'll go back to your room later, and I'll tell you."
All of a sudden, the scene was silent, a group of people moved in unison, and the hands holding forks and knives stopped in the air.
And she realized what Chris said, and the plate was pushed in front of her, with beef pieces of about the same size neatly placed on it, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush again.
"Ah, haha, yes, let's eat first and discuss after eating."
Jenny and Henry exchanged glances, and the smile on the corners of their mouths could not be suppressed.
Laura stretched her neck long, watched Chris help An Ning cut the steak, and said enviously, "I want Chris to cut it for me..."
"You've grown up, come on your own."
"But she's older than me." Laura pouted unconvinced, obviously An Ning is much older than her, why can someone ask Chris to help cut the steak, but not herself
Irene didn't know how to explain it to Laura for a while. After all, it involved the relationship between men and women. Even if she said it, Laura wouldn't understand it very well.
Jenny sipped her red wine and said with a smile, "Sweetheart, can you use chopsticks?"
Laura fell silent, and laboriously cut the steak with a knife and fork in her hand, saying in a very soft voice, "No." She shook her head.
She also understood what Jenny wanted to express in her heart, and kept silent. Chris looked at his little sister tenderly, and said meaningfully: "Laura, there will be a boy who will cut steak for you in the future."
An Ning didn't know how she spent the dinner time afterwards, and she never knew that Chris was such a person, whether it was actions or words, he did everything perfectly.
It's just that some words really can't help but make her blush.
…
After dinner, Chris and An Ning returned to the room. Before An Ning sat down, she couldn't wait to ask: "What happened, this is the first time I see you with such an expression."
He closed the door, "I didn't expect you to keep watching me."
"I didn't!" An Ning immediately denied, really, how about being serious! But Chris obviously didn't take this sentence to heart, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"I did encounter big trouble this time, mainly because of this matter, and my father was too embarrassed to push it away."
"Has something to do with ghosts?"
An Ning propped her chin with one hand and asked.
"It was a close friend of my father who came to him for help. He knew that our family specializes in exorcism. It seems that something happened to their family."
Chris took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, opened it and looked at it.
"My name is Phillips Sean, he is ten years older than my father, and he can be regarded as one of the best bosses in the high society of country M, but his life is not good these days, and he seems to be desperate, so he asked someone to come over Ask for our help."
"Well..." The booth has something to do with ghosts, and it's more or less impossible to have a better life.
"What is the specific situation?"
"It is said that his son, Phillips Allen, is about the same age as me, but he is seriously ill in bed. He has sought too many doctors and traveled almost all over the world, but he still cannot be cured."
"What disease?"
"Hmm..." He spread his hands casually, and shook his head helplessly, "It's because no disease can be found, and now Allen is even thinner and out of shape, skinny."
The cause couldn't be found out, so it's no wonder Sean thinks about ghosts.
"I heard from Sean that it might have something to do with Alan's first love girlfriend?"
First love girlfriend
An Ning raised his brows strangely, Chris closed his eyes, and leaned back in the chair: "You also know that once a person is in the circle of nobles, there will be some relationship between every business and family, even Linkage of interests."
"So, Sean naturally thinks the same as some of them, that is to have a marriage."
"oh-"
An Ning seemed to have guessed the next development of the plot long ago, and said: "It is likely that Alan has a first love girlfriend who he loves very much, and then his family insists on marrying him to a messy family daughter. First love girlfriend."
"In this way, he really doesn't deserve to be pitied."
"What a mess." Chris expressed his helplessness to An Ning's words. He wanted to laugh, but once he laughed, he couldn't hold back any longer. He covered his mouth, and it took a long time to hold back the laughter.
"There's no way around it. It's said that there was a problem with the Phillips family's business in some way, and then the other party took advantage of it, so the marriage had to be held. Your guess is pretty accurate."
An Ning said with a little pride: "Our romance novels are all written like that, and this is also the usual routine."
"But what I didn't expect is that you in country M actually have finger pulps for marriage."
Chris's eyes opened slowly, a strange emotion welling up in them.
"There are all kinds of people, but most people attach great importance to their own freedom of life, but people in different circles also have different involuntary feelings."
An Ning felt very sympathetic to this sentence, she nodded and agreed, "You're right."
"Recently, Allen's illness has become more and more serious. Their house has a pointed tower that has not been demolished in the world. According to the servant, the woman's singing and crying can be heard from there."
