The surrounding princes and ministers rejoiced again, shouting in unison: "Marry him! marry him......"

Xiao Nuan completely woke up from the shock in front of her, but this situation was even more unexpected than she expected.

She looked at Hong Lie in a daze, her eyes full of doubts and confusion.

Hong Lie's pupils shrank, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he said patiently: "Actually, this banquet is carefully designed by me and the queen mother, in addition to celebrating Yuntian's birthday, it is also regarded as our wedding banquet." Nuan Nuan, with this ring, you are my real princess. No matter who it is, they can no longer separate us, our family of three. ”

The huge diamond ring, under the reflection of the light, reflects the blurred light.

He looked at her with a determined and warm gaze.

Xiao Nuan closed her eyes helplessly, she longed for warmth and stability, but her heart was not able to completely live in Hong Lie now.

It's not fair to him!

However, in front of so many pairs of eyes and so many enthusiastic faces, if she refuses, what will Hong Lie do?

Just when Xiao Nuan was hesitating, a loud man's voice sounded, instantly overshadowing the commotion.

"You can't marry him!"

The low and magnetic voice, almost the moment it fell, Xiao Nuan heard it.

Isn't he recuperating?

And this is the Qingbai Palace, how could he be here?

Could it be that I am hallucinating?

Xiao Nuan turned around in shock and saw a man in a straight suit walking out of the crowd and approaching him step by step.

The man wears a classic black haute couture suit, and his cold eyes can freeze people's souls.

The cold face is as handsome as casting, and the tall figure is as tall as an aspen.

He walked step by step, like a god who came to the world on the wind and moon.

The light of the huge ballroom seemed to fall on him the moment he appeared.

There was silence for a moment, and everyone's eyes were curiously focused on the man who suddenly spoke.

But it was too noisy just now, and the man didn't speak the native language, most people couldn't understand it.

Xiao Nuan was stunned for two seconds, and then came back to his senses.

She wasn't hallucinating, he really came!

But this is Qingbai Country, not Z Country, not Jincheng, what does he want to do?

The chill spread with the limbs, Xiao Nuan frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop it, but the next second he felt his hand tight.

Hong Lie clenched her soft hand, shook her head hintly, and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, let me come." ”

His palms are thick and hot, revealing a calming power.

Xiao Nuan's heel was lifted and retracted without a trace.

The man walked calmly, with a kind of undeniable majesty between his eyebrows, even if he stood among the princes and nobles, he did not show stage fright at all.

He walked towards a family of three with a clear goal, and everyone didn't know why, but they still cooperated to get out of the way.

The man stood still in front of a family of three, and just as everyone looked at each other, waiting for him to repeat what he had just said, he suddenly half-crouched down and looked at the clouds.

"Happy birthday, little one!"

He smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and his deep voice revealed a rare tenderness.

Everyone gasped.

If he is as cold as an iceberg, he is already so handsome that everyone is angry, then when he laughs and is gentle, he can hit everyone's hearts.

He looked at the clouds, his deep eyes shining: "I'm sorry for missing your conception, your birth, and every important day in your life for more than five years. You're right, and if you're wrong, you're wrong. I have nothing to make up for it, just a small gift for you, I hope you will enjoy it. ”

After speaking, he took out a delicate and small USB flash drive from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Yun Tian: "For you, happy birthday!"

Xiao Nuan's heart tightened, she wanted to step forward to stop it, but her legs were like a drill, and she couldn't take a step.

Hong Lie's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously clenched Xiao Nuan's hand.

Everyone craned their necks to look, this man spoke Mandarin Z, they didn't understand it very well, but they could vaguely see from his movements that he was giving gifts.

The moment he saw the man appear, joy flashed in Yuntian's dark eyes.

But it was only for a moment, and he pursed his thin lips.

Hearing the man's words and seeing his sincere actions, Yun Tian hesitated for a moment, but politely reached out and took the USB flash drive.

He stroked the man gentlemanly, and his tone was polite and detached: "Thank you!"

When everyone saw that it was indeed a birthday gift, they all breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to each other to inquire.

"Who is this person? Why have you never seen this before?"

"Such a good-looking person, if you have seen it, you will definitely have an impression. ”

"yes! The outline of these facial features, this cold white skin, shouldn't be from us?"

When the incident happened, King Bhumi and Queen Tita also stepped down from the podium.

Queen Thida said politely, "Ah Lie, Nuan Nuan, is this your friend invited?"

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Hey, you see, the facial features of His Royal Highness Wang Sun and this gentleman look alike! What is their relationship?"

Although the speaker was in Qingbai Chinese, Xiao Nuan still understood it at once.

She clenched her palms involuntarily, her teeth tight.

Hong Lie felt her tremble slightly, and held her back in distress, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

The man straightened up and smiled gently: "Xiao Nuan, you don't plan to introduce me to everyone, huh?"

In the bottomless eyes, there are desires, provocations, and even more toil and unwillingness from a long journey.

The successive shocks made Xiao Nuan's brain a little confused.

She looked at him in astonishment, and moved her lips with difficulty, but the voice was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't get a word out.

Hong Lie stepped forward, protected Xiao Nuan behind him, and said in a low voice: "This is Qingbai, not your Jincheng, you don't want to hurt Nuan Nuan again." ”

He stared at him, his gaze as cold as a knife.

The man looked at him fearlessly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and more bewildered.

The four eyes met, and there seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder spreading in the air.

At the last moment, Yun Tian suddenly hugged Huo Liting's thigh and shouted.

"Uncle!"

The clear children's voice spread out in the huge banquet hall, shattering the deadlocked atmosphere.

The man's body stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head to meet the soft face and those bright and deep eyes.

The pronunciation of "uncle" in Qingbai Chinese and "uncle" in Z Chinese is very similar.

Everyone heard it clearly, and there was a look of sudden realization on their faces.

It turned out to be a nephew and uncle, a family, no wonder they looked so similar.

A flash of disappointment flashed in the man's eyes, and he still chuckled after all.

"Eh!" he replied, leaned over and hugged the little bun, "We've only met once, and I thought you didn't know me." Sure enough, he is a child who inherits our family's excellent genes, and he is smart enough!"

The soft and warm little body filled the embrace, and the man's chest also swelled with the warmth.

This is the first time that their father and son have had such intimate contact.

Although, his current identity is just an uncle!

The danger was lifted, and Xiao Nuan's back loosened tensely.

The music started again, and the cold scene slowly became warmer.

King Pumi clapped his hands and smiled heartily: "Since there are warm relatives who come to watch the ceremony today, is this marriage proposal more successful?"

Everyone immediately chimed in: "Yes, go ......on!"

The man's arms clenched Yuntian unconsciously tightened, and his gaze at Xiao Nuan and Hong Lie was a little more chilly.

Xiao Nuan's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples.

Hong Lie saw Xiao Nuan's expression in his eyes, his heart was bitter, but he maintained a warm smile on his face.

He coughed lightly twice and said aloud, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" However, when the perfect ceremony was interrupted, I couldn't help but feel a little regret in my heart. Please take a break, eat something and chat while I get ready again. ”

He saluted gentlemanly: "Everyone, please!"

Seeing that he had his own arrangements, the king and queen were not reluctant, and beckoned everyone to chat in unison.

The people surrounding the main table gradually dispersed, and Yun Tian began to struggle in the man's arms.

He puffed out his cheeks and lowered his voice: "Lao Huo, you let me down." ”

Huo Liting was stunned.

This little slippery head, this uses people to face forward, not people to face backwards, who did you learn from?

But in an instant, he laughed to himself.

It's either him or Xiao Nuan's genetics, and there will be no one else.

Huo Liting put Yun Tian on the ground and rubbed his head reluctantly: "What shouldn't you call me?"

Without waiting for Yun Tian to reply, Xiao Nuan interrupted with a cold face: "Uncle child, please come out with me, is it okay?"

When he asked, his tone was extremely cold.

Huo Liting raised his eyebrows and happily made a gesture of please.

Xiao Nuan stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the back door of the banquet hall.

Hong Lie subconsciously stepped up to follow: "Nuan Nuan, I'll accompany you." ”

"Daddy, I want to go get something, can you accompany me first?" Yun Tian raised his hand, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and blinked pitifully.

Hong Lie looked at his son, and then at Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan tilted his head and gave him a reassuring look: "I'm fine, just accompany Yuntian." ”

In the time of two sentences, Huo Liting had already bypassed Xiao Nuan and took the lead in walking away.

Hong Lie gritted his teeth, turned around and followed Yun Tian away.

It's just that the moment his gaze swept over Huo Liting's back, it became cold and heavy.

......

It was getting late, and the garden behind the ballroom.

Everyone was busy in the front room, and there was silence all around.

Xiao Nuan looked around vigilantly before turning his eyes to Huo Liting: "What are you doing here?"

The tone of obvious questioning, revealing undisguised boredom.

Huo Liting's heart throbbed slightly.

He raised his eyebrows to look at her, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with interest: "What do you say I'm here for? I saved you, but you left! In five years, you have no conscience to be promoted from a liar to a young person, huh?"

In front of him, the picture of the two hugging each other tightly in the cold storage that night flashed, and he muttered an apology in his ear over and over again.

Xiao Nuan's heart fell suddenly.

She looked at him quietly, and her tone was cold: "Mr. Huo, I'm afraid you have forgotten, this is what you owe me." On that day, it was just two clears. Now that you and I don't have any relationship with each other, you can leave quickly!"

She was so bold that she picked them clean.

"Heh!" Huo Liting laughed angrily: "You said that there is no relationship between us, so there is no relationship? You really don't want to know how I got in?"

His tone was ambiguous, as if he was referring to something.

Xiao Nuan subconsciously remembered Queen Tida's words, this is a state banquet and a family banquet, and the people who can attend this banquet today are either the royal relatives and nobles of the Qingbai Kingdom, or the ministers of the humerus, no matter how bad they are, they are definitely people who are politically helpful to the development of the Qingbai Kingdom.

She looked Huo Liting up and down, definitely not by his identity as a copper-smelling businessman.

Huo Liting admired her expression, slowly leaned over to her ear, and said softly: "I'm here on behalf of the embassy, you want to drive me away, it's not that easy." ”

The familiar crisp breath hit, and the scorching breath sprayed on the pinna, Xiao Nuan instinctively shrank back, raised his eyes and squinted at him: "You already know Ah Lie's identity?"

Subtle vigilance, affectionate title, Huo Liting's eyes darkened slightly.

He straightened up, put his hands in his pockets leisurely, and said lazily: "It's not early, but it's not too late, it's just in time." ”

What a beating!

Xiao Nuan squinted at him, only to feel that 10,000 alpacas were galloping past in his heart.

She bit her lip and said angrily, "What about Yuntian, when did you secretly see him?"

It's not that he has secretly seen Yun Tian, but that Yun Tian has come to see him in the open.

But Huo Liting didn't explain, and only playfully spit out two words: "Secret!"

"And what did you tell him? What did he know?"

"Your own son, what kind of IQ is he, shouldn't you be a mommy better?

Looking at each other, Xiao Nuan's heart was cold, and the slightest crack finally broke out under his calm face.

Yun Tianken accepted his gift, and tacitly called him uncle, and finally Lao Huo!

He even stopped Hong Lie naturally and skillfully, I am afraid that he didn't really want to take anything, just to give them enough space to speak......

She knows very well that this child has a high IQ and EQ since he was a child.

She was always proud of it, but she couldn't help but worry.

Children who are too early to be wise are too likely to suffer for themselves......

Seeing the expression of pity on her face, Huo Liting's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle.

Heh, this is starting to feel sorry for Hong Lie? I feel sorry for the son he has raised for so many years, and he already knows that his father is someone else?

Jealousy lit a flame in his eyes, and Huo Liting couldn't help but sneer coldly: "No wonder you have been reluctant to return to China for so many years, it turned out that you were waiting for the position of the princess! You said that you returned to Jincheng and returned to me, was it to create a sense of crisis for Hong Lie? so as to force him to propose to you? You were discharged from the hospital in such a hurry, and you didn't even care about your body, are you afraid that you will miss today?"

The calm and deep voice, every word spit out is like a hardened steel nail, poking people in pain.

Xiao Nuan's hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist, she clenched her back molars, forcibly suppressed the anger surging in her heart, and chuckled coldly: "Mr. Huo is really Mr. Huo, and I can't hide anything from your eyes." Ah Lie is handsome and handsome, gentle and golden, even if he is a prince, he is also caring and considerate to me and Yuntian. ”

She raised her chin arrogantly and looked around: "This huge palace is splendid, and the king and queen are very good to me. I can do whatever I want here, and I can have whatever I want. And my son will become the king of Qingbai in the future. What reason do I have not to stay here?"

"You!" Huo Li was angry, and the hand in his trouser pocket suddenly clenched the fabric.

"How am I?" Xiao Nuan blinked and looked at him contemptuously: "Mr. Huo, it's Qingbai here." I remind you, be aware of your identity and don't mess around. ”

There was a flash of brilliance in her eyes, extremely thin and fast.

But Huo Liting still caught it keenly.

It was a wilted pride like a little fox.

Huo Liting's clenched hand suddenly let go, and the whole person calmed down instantly.

He chuckled, and suddenly leaned over her cheek, and deliberately lowered his voice hoarse and bewitched: "If I really want to mess around, do you think you can stop me, huh?"

He stopped at the punch away from her, and looked motionless into her eyes.

The eyes are facing each other, and the breath can be heard.

Xiao Nuan was taken aback by surprise, although his face was barely calm, his body was already tense uncontrollably, holding his breath.

Just when she realized that she was about to suffocate, Huo Liting suddenly straightened up and retreated.

His expression was solemn and cold, and he said clearly: "I will give you three days to think about it, either return my son to me and let me take him back to country Z, or you can take your son with me." Otherwise, I will make the whole royal family of Ba Song a joke. ”

The ink pupils are deep, firm and unmistakable.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around neatly and strode towards the banquet hall.

In the shadows that no one saw, the corners of Huo Liting's mouth hooked up a sly smile that he was determined to win.

But in a moment, it was gone.

The strong feeling of oppression disappeared, Xiao Nuan pressed his chest, and breathed in a big gulp of fresh air.

She relented and stamped her foot hatefully.

Dog man, it's so bad.

The night breeze blows, bringing with it the salty smell of the sea tide.

Xiao Nuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and did not turn back to the banquet hall until he was completely calm.

In the banquet hall, the clothes and temples are fragrant, and the chips are staggered.

Hong Lie was talking to a few people, and when he saw Xiao Nuan walking in through the back door, he immediately cast a concerned look and beckoned to her.

Xiao Nuan happened to want to find him, so he immediately faded into two smiles, and said softly: "Ah Lie, I feel a little tired, and I want to go back to the dormitory to rest first." ”

Hong Lie's bright eyes immediately flushed with distress, reached out and shook her slightly cool hand, and said softly: "Okay, I'll send you." ”

Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, the minister stopped talking: "Your Highness, Your Excellency the Secretary-General asked you to wait for him here!"

Without waiting for Hong Lie to speak, Xiao Nuan took the initiative to say: "Ah Lie, I'm fine, you're busy with you, I'll just go back by myself." ”

"No, I can't. Hong Lie held her hand, looked around, and saw Sha Li and Cha Apeng, who were standing in the corner, and immediately beckoned.

The two of them immediately came over and saluted neatly: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Hong Lie handed Xiao Nuan's hand to Sha Li, and said solemnly: "Send my wife back for me, be sure to send her to the dormitory, and take care of my wife to rest, understand?"

Shari nodded respectfully, "Understood." ”

Hong Lie instructed Cha Apeng again: "You are responsible for protecting them, and you are the only one who asks if anything happens." ”

Cha Apeng investigated Huo Liting, and knew Hong Lie's worries, so he immediately nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates promise to complete the task." ”

Xiao Nuan's cold heart instantly felt ironed and warm, but the burden on his shoulders was also heavier.

Such a good person, how can she make him a stain and a laughing stock for the entire royal family?

"I'm fine, Lie, you have a good feast. She tried to smile and give him a reassuring look.

Hong Lie nodded softly and watched her leave.

There was affection in the eyes of the two people, but the chill of the emotion was different.

The internal official praised enviously: "Your Highness, the relationship between you and your wife is so good, and the ministers really can't wait to call the princess." ”

Hong Lie raised his lips and laughed, and his tone was firm: "Don't worry, this day will come soon." ”

After meeting the Secretary-General, Hong Lie finally figured out Huo Liting's identity tonight.

He held champagne and stood beside Huo Liting politely: "Mr. Huo, I didn't expect you to be interested in politics in addition to your achievements in business! ”

Huo Liting smiled lightly, took a sip of wine casually, and then said: "Each other! I didn't expect that an ordinary person like you would be the third prince of Qingbai Kingdom." ”

Hong Lie raised his eyebrows, and was about to say a few words modestly, when he heard Huo Liting say quietly: "What I didn't expect was that the third prince of the Qingbai Kingdom would be able to make a shameless move to occupy other people's wives and children. ”

Hong Lie's hand holding the wine glass tightened, and a polite smile froze on his face.

He was just about to get angry, when he saw someone toasting him and Huo Liting, and immediately smiled warmly again.

He raised his glass in response, and said with a smile: "When you meet a good girl, you naturally have to cherish it." Just because she's been hurt doesn't mean you can't ignore the good things hidden under the scars. On the contrary, how bad and cruel the blind men used to be to her, I will compensate her tenfold, hundredfold, or even more. Let her believe that the world is worth it!"

Huo Liting found the point of his words almost in a second, and he was hinting at the despair in his heart at the moment when Xiao Nuan fell into the sea.

The corners of Huo Liting's mouth twitched slightly, the smile on his face became more and more gentle and decent, and his low voice revealed a warning: "Even if you want to make amends, it won't be your turn." ”

"Mr. Huo, I'm afraid you don't count it, right?" Hong Lie pulled back a city, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Don't worry, I will never let Nuan Nuan return to you, the scumbag who hurt her the most." ”

Eyes met, firelight splashed.

After a moment, Huo Liting nodded with a smile: "Yes, it makes sense! But as the ambassador of country Z abroad, I think I still have more say in the citizens of country Z than His Royal Highness the third prince." If His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not Alzheimer's, he should not have forgotten that Xiao Nuan is still a citizen of my country Z, and has never applied for a visa, green card and other documents that can prove her identity from your Qingbai country, right?"

Hong Lie was stunned for a moment, and then said meaninglessly: "What if you don't do it?" I said no, she didn't need it. ”

Huo Liting nodded again: "Understood." For a small country like yours, it may not be necessary. But in our country, we will provide the same protection to every legal citizen who is living abroad. And one of the most important of these protections is to take them home. ”
