The time difference between country Y and China is six or seven hours, and it is still three o'clock in the afternoon, but it is already ten o'clock in the evening in China, so when it is time for dinner, she sleeps soundly and has no intention of waking up.

If it was an ordinary banquet, Qin Chu would have rested with her, but who let this be a banquet of the royal family of another country, and Mrs. Qin would not attend, Qin Chu would be busy explaining all night, I am afraid that it would make others think that he had neglected the royal family of country Y.

So he sat on the edge of the bed and called softly, "Xu Youran." ”

Xu Youran really heard someone calling her, and this voice became a picture in her mind, in which she had woken up after hearing the call, but the groggy feeling made her lose consciousness again.

Qin Chu didn't react after hearing her answer, and laughed very helplessly, so he had to use both hands and mouth, pushing her, "Get up and eat." ”

Xu Youran finally opened his eyes, with a confused expression, and after a second of buffering, the memory finally washed over.

Thinking of the purpose of their trip, Xu Youran's heart jumped suddenly, and he instantly lifted the quilt and got up.

Xu Youran brought a royal blue long dress, the design of this dress is not strong, one is to not dominate the guests, and the other is to consider the identity of the banquet host, so the choice of dress should be decent and dignified.

The banquet hall has long gathered high-class people from all over the world, many of whom are also frequent guests on international news, and the lineup of director Yang Honghe's birthday banquet last time is simply beyond the reach of now.

Xu Youran was a little excited in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

Then, Xu Youran looked around the venue and didn't see the rest of the Qin family, it was obvious that Qin Chu was not invited because of his Qin family identity.

This is strange, so how did Qin Chu get in touch with people in the royal family?

She wasn't ready to guess blindly on her own, so she went straight to Qin Chu and asked Qin Chu directly.

Qin Chu smiled at the person who greeted him while explaining to Xu Youran, "Princess Trosi's husband is my friend. ”

Xu Youran showed an even more surprised look at the moment, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Chu seemed to see through her thoughts, "Ordinary friends." ”

He added the idiomatic phrase with a smile.

In Qin Chu's mouth, the word that appears most often is friend.

But Xu Youran could see that Qin Chu didn't seem to treat a person as a friend, he actually treated any friend as a partner.

Treat her as a friend instead.

This made Xu Youran not quite understand.

She wrinkled her eyebrows, took a glass of wine from the tray, and asked casually, "In the adult world, shouldn't it be the other way around, and be friends with people with bright futures to pave the way for your future?"

Qin Chu didn't answer her question, but asked her a question in turn.

"If someone is friends with you just to take advantage of you, can you still face up to their existence?"

Xu Youran choked for a moment, Qin Chu's tone was calm, "I don't like to be friends with people, and I don't want to take advantage of anyone, if I say it clearly from the beginning, it will be a lot less trouble to get along in the future, I don't have to force myself, and I am happy to relax." ”

Xu Youran nodded in agreement, and then looked up at him, "Then you said that you are friends with me, is it true or false?"

Qin Chugang took a sip of champagne, he almost choked when he heard the words, he coughed lightly and swallowed the wine in his throat.

"Xu Youran, you are different. His eyes were gentle, "You're my family." ”

Different from Qin Chu's plain hanger, his words at this time moved Xu Youran's heart.

Qin Chu's words didn't sound like any problem, but Xu Youran forgot that she and Qin Chu were originally husband and wife who had received a certificate to hold a wedding, and it seemed that they had skipped the barrier of love and directly ascended to the level of family affection.

Love may make people's heads hot, and their hearts are so happy that they can't sleep all night.

But family affection is more like a trickle of water, maybe it can't bring you a sense of excitement all day long, but as long as you stop, you can see the family members around you.

Family affection is less warm than love, and more calm.

Xu Youran liked Qin Chu's explanation, and unconsciously, because of Qin Chu's explanation, she felt that even if someone jumped out in the future and said that Qin Chu had ill intentions towards her, she would remember Qin Chu's sincerity and warmth at this time.

The surroundings suddenly became much more lively, Xu Youran followed everyone's line of sight to the focus of the crowd, and saw the white-haired king slowly pacing in front of the microphone.

Xu Youran's hand holding Qin Chu trembled slightly, and the other hand subconsciously pinched the cuffs of his suit.

"So nervous?" Qin Chu chuckled, "You seem to be trembling." ”

Xu Youran, who was exposed, didn't even have the strength to stare at him, his eyes were all on the king on the stage, but he still reacted to the position he had retracted, and just about to take it back, the back of his hand was covered.

Qin Chu attached it to the back of her hand for a few seconds, and then slowly incorporated her slender palm into the palm of her hand, surrounding her, not giving her a chance to escape.

Princess Trosi, dressed in a baby yellow fishtail, walked from the crowd to the microphone with her fiancé's arm.

She looked at Qin Chu puzzled, and questioned with her eyes what he was doing to tease her when the king was speaking?

A smile flew obliquely out of Qin Chu's eyes, "Do you have the feeling of a deer bumping into each other?"

Xu Youran looked at him speechlessly, wanting to hear what he was going to do, but his mood calmed down.

"I've felt the more nervous fawn ramming, but now I'm not so nervous when I see the big guys?"

Xu Youran quietly watched Qin Chu talk nonsense.

The king said a lot on the stage, and what he said was nothing more than some scenes, Xu Youran didn't listen carefully, and his eyes drifted to the horse master.

The pony's name is Carl, and he is a good match for the princess, but it has always been difficult for Westerners to judge their age from their appearance.

Princess Trosi, 28 years old this year, is dressed elegantly and nobly today, and the evening dress on her body alone, even if Xu Youran doesn't know how to design, she also knows that its value is immeasurable.

After the king finished speaking, it was the turn of the princess, and after the princess finished speaking, it was her fiancé's turn.

However, the next few speakers did not say much, and the banquet officially began five minutes later.

I saw that the eyes of the horse master on the stage moved back the moment their faces swept over their faces, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, but they didn't come over to greet Qin Chu immediately.

After Carl accompanied his fiancée to greet the nobles, he was finally late.

In order to hide the joy in his eyes, he put the wine glass in his left hand and stretched out his right hand, "Hey, you thought you would release my pigeon again." ”

Qin Chu smiled, "This time is different from the past, and now I don't dare to release Prince Qin's pigeons." ”

Karl himself was a noble family, nothing more than a declining aristocracy, and was stripped of his former titles, but with his marriage to Trosi, he would also be made a prince.

It's just that this is said bluntly, if the listener is sensitive, he will definitely think that Qin Chu is really mocking himself for eating soft rice.

However, Carl still laughed with Qin Chu and turned the topic to Xu Youran, "This is the wife you mentioned?"

Qin Chu nodded, and then introduced them.

"My wife, Carl, my former roommate. ”

"Roommate?"

Xu Youran seemed to be frightened, full of questions, how many surprises or frightens were waiting for Qin Chu?

"Hello, Mrs. Qin. Carl smiled and explained, "Yes, about ten years ago, Qin and I lived together in country F for less than a year, and then we had business contacts after we both returned to China, and we only had intermittent contact during these ten years. ”

Just listening to Carl's words, it always makes people feel that he and Qin Chu have been best friends for ten years.

But Qin Chu himself said that they were just ordinary friends.

I don't know if Carl is too good at dealing with people, or if Qin Chu's heart is like a solid stone.

During the greetings between the two, Trosi found them with her fiancé and introduced them to each other.

A princess is a princess after all, etiquette has been carved into the bone marrow, and Trosi's words and deeds will not make people feel disrespected, nor will they appear too enthusiastic and lose their identity.

While Xu Youran sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but pay attention to his words and deeds.

Suddenly, Princess Trosi said, "Karl, Your Majesty will go hunting with us early tomorrow morning." ”

Carl nodded in response.

But seeing Trosi turn her head and suddenly catch a glimpse of Qin Chu and Xu Youran, her eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Is Mr. Qin interested in hunting?" If you are interested, you can come with us." ”

Of course, Trosi is not a whim, Carl is a declining aristocrat after all, and the royal family has always attached importance to the origin of new members, so it is inevitable that there will be some rejection of Carl in private.

She asked this just to help Carl find a companion to accompany him.

Qin Chu did the same thing as in the afternoon, he turned his head and asked Xu Youran's opinion, "Are you going?"

Xu Youran has never had any athletic talent, and her previous golf was only successful under the guidance of a master, and she had no interest or energy in hunting.

"Well, I guess that must be interesting. ”

She squinted her eyes into the moon, and the smile on her face was sincere, as if she was really looking forward to tomorrow's hunt.

Qin Chu on the side just smiled dotingly, and then listened to Trosi say a few words, and the other party said that there would be a servant to send riding clothes and all the necessary items later, as well as a special person to inform them of the precautions for hunting.

Xu Youran was only perfunctory at first, and it was not until the professional recounted to them the precautions for more than half an hour that she realized that the activities of the royal family could not be so simple.

Seeing her look of hatred at the two sets of riding costumes on the table, she scratched her ears and cheeks as if she was still recalling the attention just now.

Qin Chu smiled, "Since you don't want to go, why do you have to agree?"

"That's the princess, I don't agree, won't I give her face?" she cast a faint glance, "Besides, people don't really give us the opportunity to choose, you're just a puppet to play with." ”

Qin Chu smiled and rubbed her hair, "Count you smart, so it's enough to go to me, you can not go tomorrow." ”

Xu Youran thought about it, after all, she is a tool person next to a tool person, and she is an unimportant existence.
