"I'm serious. I drove from New Orleans because I missed you, just to see your eyes. ”

Lan Li's deep voice was gently tugging like a cello, and Rooney's mind couldn't help but think of the laziness and sexuality of the early morning, the curves of her body wrapped in white sheets rose and fell, the voice she had just woken up was slightly hoarse, and the lazy tone was like a feather blowing in her ears, and she couldn't help but start to blush and redden, and the shyness that made people curl up her hands and feet instantly swept from her toes to the top of her head.

Before she knew it, Rooney closed her eyes, although she was sure that the relationship was about to reach its first anniversary, the throbbing of her heart was still surging, and she had to force herself to open her eyes, trying to stare at Lan Li with round eyes, "Foul, you are foul!"

"It's just the two of us now, what is a foul. Lan Li's rare trick made Rooney involuntarily start to itch.

But this time Rooney didn't look away, but seriously traced Lan Li's facial features with her eyes, and the affection in the depths of her eyes surged gently, "You've lost weight." Rooney was a little distressed.

Lan Li was originally a strong type, and he looked very thin with clothes, but now, Lan Li's face lines are getting thinner and thinner, obviously, this time is hard shooting and psychological torment, and the already thin facial lines are becoming more and more tight.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth raised slightly, "I'll try my best to eat fat." Believe me, I'm really trying. ”

Rooney could catch the faint gloom in Lan Li's voice, "They don't deserve it, you know?"

Although they have no heads and no brains, Lan Li and Rooney know who they are referring to.

"Hmm. I know. Lan Li bowed his head slightly, but this time, he didn't continue to hide it, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a shallow smile arc, "But even if I know, some things are still so simple after all, it seems that I am still a mortal after all." ”

Rooney chuckled, "It's okay, if you're not, I won't be able to be by your side." Don't you know how much effort it took me to stand beside you without looking as small as possible?" Rooney said with a stiff wrinkle of nose and squinted eyes, "Really, very, very hard! Occasionally, you can let me know that you're not that perfect either, do you know how happy I am?"

The funny and relaxed tone made Lan Li's smile brighter and brighter.

After the joke was over, Rooney continued, "Lan Li, we are also allowed to hate them. "They are equal to parents.

Lan Li's smile was still on the corner of his mouth, but there was a little sadness in the depths of his eyes, "I know. Having said that, the weight of this sentence weighed heavily on his heart, making the whole person relax, "By the way, after Toronto, I will return to London, Arthur has arranged a charity auction, would you like to attend?"

Charity Auction!

Although Lan Li did not explain in detail, Rooney immediately understood that it was the occasion for Lan Li to announce his return to London, and it was also the clarion call for Lan Li to officially declare war.

Being willing to invite Rooney to attend also means that she will make her official appearance for the first time - whether or not she is present as Lan Li's female companion, Rooney will officially face Lan Li's family, at least, she can see Arthur, and possibly Edith and Elf, and even George and Elizabeth.

With a long exhale, Rooney's expression was slightly nervous.

Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, which made Rooney protest, "I'm fine, I'm really fine, I'm just a little unaccustomed." You know, the hereditary aristocrats of London have always looked down on us nouveau riche. ”

"So, this time you're Jack, am I Ruth?" Lan Li's interpretation made Rooney slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh, she couldn't stop at all.

Looking at Lan Li, who was calm and calm, Rooney knew that in fact, there were still some waves in his heart, and she needed to be by his side unswervingly, "Do you need me to donate any auction items? I mean, in a private name, and in addition, I can gather some friends to go to London for the auction, you know, people always want to contribute to charity." ”

Rooney also knows what charity auctions mean.

Ostensibly an auction for charity, it is actually a networking occasion for the elite and high society.

For example, the guests who can't be invited by others are invited by Lanli, and the auction collections that others can't get, Lanli has gotten, which is soft power. For another example, it is impossible for a person of Prince William's level to attend a charity auction casually - because the royal family cannot squander expenses at will, and all expenses must be reported, but attending the auction of the Blue Rite is an irreplaceable honor.

In other words, a charity auction is held in the name of Blue Rite, the quality of the guests present, the value of the auction items, and the total amount of the transaction amount...... And so on, all of them are fame other than money, which is also the daily busy thing of those upper-class wives, don't underestimate the power of women in the family composition, they are often able to create a value for their husbands that money cannot measure, indirectly once again proves the truth of "a house is not swept to sweep the world".

Rooney not only attended the charity auction herself, but also invited her friends in her life circle to attend, so the weight was not trivial-

Don't forget, Looney is backed by the families of two of the world's most valuable teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants. The Rooney family has connections far beyond the abilities of George Hall, a down-and-out hereditary baron, and even Lan Li, who is rooted in Eton College, is not necessarily matched.

"Are you sure?" Lan Li asked, because he himself clearly knew that using family connections was a very annoying and very toss-up thing, and it was really a matter of moving the whole body, one person knew, and in a blink of an eye, the whole family knew about it, and then he had to accept all kinds of interrogations and tortures, endlessly.

Rooney immediately understood, "Don't worry, I still have some friends. My family relationship is very complicated, but it's simple compared to you, and we don't usually interfere in each other's lives, because the family is really too large and too numerous. I don't think I told you that my father had twelve siblings on his side. Believe me, the last thing we want to interfere with is each other's lives. ”

Twelve.

Lan Li pursed her lips and gave a meaningful expression, which made Rooney laugh happily, "Now I should ask, are you sure? If there is a wedding, it should be very spectacular." ”

"Wedding? Oh? Are we going so fast now? Wow, I'm not keeping up. Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said exaggeratedly.

Rooney realized her mistake, "Example, example, I just gave an example. But seeing Lan Li's smiling expression, Rooney was also frustrated, and lay on the bed in frustration, stretching out her hands flat, as if making a bow - or a gesture of surrender, muttering depressedly, "I'm really just giving an example." ”

"It's so sad, don't you want to marry me?" Lan Li's deep voice rang in his ears again.

Puff pass!

Rooney's muscles tensed, the anticipation and excitement began to tingle like electricity, and happiness exploded, shy and joyful, but after only a moment, Rooney sat up straight and widened her eyes like a pufferfish, "You did it on purpose, right?"

Looking at Lan Li's innocent expression, Rooney was keenly aware of the abnormality, "Every time you say sweet words, you will deliberately lower your voice, so that your voice is like a cello, with a mellow aroma of red wine." Honestly, it's a killer trick you use to please girls, right?"

"Red wine. Well...... Thanks for the compliment, how I didn't notice it before. Lan Li's focus seemed to be completely offset, which made Rooney bite her lower lip tightly, raised her hand and picked up the pillow on the bed, and smashed it towards Lan Li, but the strength was not enough, and the pillow was directly held in Lan Li's arms.

Rooney was also dumbfounded.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and Rooney, who was about to stand up, immediately stopped moving, and inexplicably began to hold her breath and move stillly, lest others find out the secret between her and Lan Li, "Rooney, we are ready, five-minute countdown." ”

"Ahem. Rooney cleared her throat, "Okay, I see, I'll come down right away." When the time came, Rooney listened quietly again, and after hearing the footsteps outside the door fading away, she reacted, "You suddenly came to visit the class, what if everyone found out? Wait, what if the paparazzi follow you to Cincinnati? ”

"Hey!" Lan Li protested again, then stood up, walked over to Rooney with a smile, and hugged her petite body to her chest, "Don't worry, they won't find out, and even if they do, they won't say anything." I came all the way to visit you and Kate, remember? Kate and I are good friends, and Kate will cover for us. ”

"What?," Rooney, keenly aware of the details of Lan Li's words, couldn't help but exclaim again, "How did she know?"

Lan Li gently pressed Rooney's raised head down and leaned against his chest, "Don't worry, we just need to go with the flow." If it is discovered, then admit that this is not 'Carol' or 'Brokeback Mountain', this is not the fifties, and we don't need to be so nervous. ”

Lan Li's light and playful words made Rooney couldn't help but laugh again, and her mood gradually calmed down, and Lan Li's calm and powerful heartbeat sounded in her ears, bang, bang, hitting her eardrums one after another, as if the whole world was quiet, and only the heartbeat in her ears remained.
