Beatrice was slightly nervous.

In fact, the intersection between her and Lan Li is very limited, and the real face-to-face conversation only happened once at the Earl's private party last year; they don't have mobile phone numbers and email addresses with each other, and they usually have no way to contact each other; strictly speaking, they can't even be considered friends, just nodding friends.

As for Beatrice's affection, it is not so much a woman's love and madness for a man as it is the adoration and yearning of the fans for idols, a pure infatuation of admiration—like thousands of women all over the world, but this admiration has changed a little since that meeting.

Although Lan Li rejected him, Beatrice spent a short period of grief and loss, and then gradually tasted Lan Li's gentleness and gentlemanliness. It was also a rejection, but Lan Li showed her skills, and her clean and neat attitude did not leave any room for misunderstanding, and at the same time maintained enough respect and kindness, so that the sadness after the bitterness gradually became a hint of sweetness, and finally evolved into a good memory.

Beatrice wasn't sure if it was her "fan mentality" that caused everything to be clouded by a filter, but she was sure that she still liked Lan Li - not love, but a kind of admiration and adoration from fans, and she always felt that Lan Li was a lighthouse in the middle of a late-night voyage, able to guide her in the direction of moving forward, which was really a wonderful feeling, and it was impossible to tell whether it was joy or fierceness.

When she learned about the charity auction, Beatrice's first reaction was that she wanted to participate. Even though Alexander didn't send out an invitation, she wanted to participate, so she made a special trip to ask Alexander, got an invitation, and showed up at today's auction.

At this time, seeing Lan Li again after a year, Beatrice couldn't help but get excited again, like a little girl, wanting to jump.

With just a smile, Beatrice could once again feel the warmth of Lan Li's body, with a different human atmosphere from the nobles, while maintaining the graceful demeanor of aristocratic etiquette, every move was so pleasing to the eye, and most importantly, the sincerity revealed in those eyes, which was irreplaceable and could not be pretended, which made Beatrice's mood involuntarily begin to vibrate its wings and soar.

"Your Highness the Princess. Lan Li's eyes were warm and bright, and he said in a brisk tone, "Thank you for coming to donate to the charity event, and now everyone is wondering if I sent a post to invite you to the scene, which makes me happy and annoyed." ”

The brisk tone was a little funny, kind but not offensive, and there was a hint of familiarity between young people in his gestures, but as soon as he looked at him, Beatrice couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy and pleasure, "This is definitely a beautiful misunderstanding." ”

After saying that, Beatrice was a little annoyed: she really didn't have any humor, Lan Li had already set up the stage, and she still couldn't show her wit and humor, such a decent social reply was really speechless.

Lan Li seemed to catch a hint of embarrassment in Beatrice's smile, and instead of poking, he lowered his voice slightly, "In order to avoid misunderstanding, should we pretend to laugh now, otherwise, the rumors about me will be the most delicious dessert at the table tonight." ”

"Poof. Beatrice burst out laughing, trying to tease, but her mind went blank, and she just laughed stupidly.

"It's no wonder that the rumored Lan Li will always be the dream lover of countless women. In just one time to say hello, even I couldn't help but indulge. A low, vicissitudes of voice came from the side, interrupting the conversation between Lan Li and Beatrice.

The voice was a man in his mid-thirties, with short blond hair, slightly baby fat, a high forehead that drew attention to the receding hairline, and a slightly reddened cheekbones revealed a hint of softness.

Men are not presumptuous to intervene, but ignored.

In fact, before Lan Li came, he was standing next to Beatrice, about a step away, but because the two people were not talking, Beatrice was talking to another person - that person wisely took his leave on the way over Lan Li, so that Lan Li couldn't judge what was the situation of the man left next to him, so he was not able to greet him at the first time, which was a bit rude.

The man's words were slightly prickly, Beatrice couldn't hear it, but Lan Li keenly caught it, he stood up straight to meet the other party's gaze, and then joked to himself, "So, now my influence has covered men?" interpreted the other party's words in another way, no attack, but no weakness, the whole atmosphere remained tense in a relaxed manner, and had to be applauded.

Beatrice reacted and smiled widely, "Sorry, look at my memory, Dave, this is Dave-Clark; She took the initiative to introduce the two of them, paused, and then explained, "Dave is my 'additional one' today, and we're dating." ”

I see!

This explains Dave's expression and demeanor, and things get interesting - for Lan Li, because his mind is completely relaxed and he sincerely sends his blessings to Beatrice, but not for Dave, the tension of vigilance always lingers, as if he is ready to attack at all times.

"Welcome, maybe charity events are not the best occasion to make friends, but I am always open to possibilities and hope to meet some like-minded friends. It seems that one of today's goals has been achieved. Lan Li still showed his demeanor and did not treat Dave as "Beatrice's boyfriend" - because Lan Li believed that Dave should have been subjected to similar treatment many times today, and he should not be a vassal of so-and-so, he was also a guest at a charity auction.

But Lan Li's friendliness is not bought by everyone.

"I didn't know that you were also the owner of today's auction, I thought it was an auction organized by Alexander Hamilton. Dave stabbed back with a word.

"Welcome" is a phrase that only the owner can use.

Beatrice didn't think much about it, just thought that Dave had raised a question, she quickly explained, "Alexander and Lan Li are good friends, today's mysterious guest is Lan Li, Alexander has been planning for a long time for this matter, we didn't expect that Lan Li really appeared." ”

It seems that Beatrice has been immersed in love for a while now, and the news update is a little lagging behind, and she has not been able to update the latest progress of the inside story of the Hall family, so she has ignored the real purpose of Lan Li's special trip back to London. At the same time, it also means that Beatrice genuinely likes Dave.

But obviously, Beatrice's explanation, for Dave, has a different flavor.

Lan Li could sense Dave's aggressiveness, and he couldn't help but smile, "Obviously, my words and actions have caused some unnecessary misunderstandings. Actually, it wasn't Alexander who invited me to attend, but I expressed my intention to Alexander, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do at the auction today and making some efforts for charity. Dave, what do you think?"

The subtext is: whether they are the owners or not, their purpose should be charity, not those trivial things that are jealous.

Lan Li didn't mind backing down, and he wasn't interested in interfering in Beatrice's emotional life, but that didn't mean he would leave with his tail between his legs, he still expressed his position in his own way, and if Dave was smart enough, then he should be able to feel the meaning of the words.

"Of course. Dave did feel it, "Triss and I are looking forward to something today." He also took the right amount of money to withdraw his troops, and did not continue to entangle, and at the same time grabbed Beatrice's shoulders, puffed up his chest to meet Lan Li's gaze, and declared his sovereignty.

This...... Some are childish, but couples in love can understand.

"Well, I'll take my leave, and the auction is about to begin. Lan Li said politely.

Beatrice added a question, "Lan Li, will you stay for the cocktail party after the auction is over? I heard you're going back to London's West End?

"Huh. Lan Li chuckled, "I can't admit anything, you know, confidentiality agreements always tie our actors' hands and feet." However, I'm sure I'm not going to sneak away after the auction is over, see you later. Dave's slightly stiff smile could be seen out of the corner of his eye, and Lan Li didn't linger any longer, nodding his head before turning and leaving.

After another social interaction, Lan Li returned to his seat.

Andre on the left hand side immediately bumped Lan Li with his shoulder, "The drama in the West End is not as exciting as the scene just now. This is a hint that Lan Li and Beatrice have met, obviously, falling into the eyes of the "audience".

Lan Li said unhurriedly, "That means that the number of plays you watch is still too small, and the quality is too bad." I feel sorry for you. ”

Andre choked, but persistently asked, "Don't you care? What the hell is that Dave Clark? I think he might have set his sights on you." After all, rumors about you and the princess here in London have been spreading on the streets for a long time. ”

"What?" Lan Li was genuinely surprised, and the surprised expression made Andre laugh contentedly, his eyes full of smugness.
