Xi Xi is very good, not to mention that she has Anthony and the entire Michael family as the backing, just herself, she has been in the army for five years, has learned a lot of skills, has a good set of intelligence reconnaissance, and has even received a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Public Security, can become a real policeman, and win glory for the family.

And in this way, she has naturally become a sweet spot in the eyes of many people who want to take shortcuts, or want to take the opportunity to climb the Michael family, she has only reached the age of eighteen, and many people have already come to propose marriage, hoping to tie the two families together through marriage, sharing honor and disgrace.

In their opinion, Angela, the eldest lady of the Michael family, can't climb high, but Xixi is different, although she is also in the family tree of the Michael family, but she is not biological, it is still relatively cheap, and she can use her to make one more business partner, and the people of the Michael family must be very willing.

Mr. Michael's thoughts are similar to theirs, except that Heethy was brought back by Anthony and raised by him, so it is reasonable to ask his opinion, Anthony was silent for a long time, and looked at the marriage proposal list on the table, in his opinion, none of these people were worthy of his Hixi.

Lady Rosa held a cup of Ceylon black tea and said meaningfully: "When a girl grows up, she should be married to someone, and she will only be relieved when she has a home, so that she will not do anything that corrupts the door and makes people criticize, Anthony, what do you say?"

His mother's gaze pierced him, and her words were only three points clear, and he already understood the meaning and warning of her words, and he pursed his lips speechlessly, picked up the proposal lists, and got up to leave.

Mr. Michael watched him leave without saying a word, and couldn't help frowning: "What kind of dumb riddle are you mother and son playing?"

Lady Rosa said indifferently: "It's nothing, just to remind him, don't do anything to disgrace our family, I've indulged them enough over the years, and it's time to stop in moderation." ”

Anthony went home, Xi Xi was watching a variety show in the living room, rolling on the sofa with laughter, he stood at the entrance half of the ring before he walked over, put the list in front of her, and his voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "Xi Xi, see if there are any of these people you like." ”

Xi Xi didn't react for a while: "What do I like?"

"You're eighteen years old, and you're engaged to most socialites of your age, so you should worry about your life's work. ”

Xixi froze on the spot, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Anthony's fist hidden in his sleeve clenched slightly, and continued: "Those friends of yours, like Simmy Lucy, are also married...... These boys are all famous, and some of them are very good, so you can try to get along with them. ”

His words have come to this point, and Xixi is not a fool, how can he not understand.

He wanted her to marry.

He wants her to get married......

Being in a famous family, she knows very well that there are many things that she can't help herself, and one day she will do something for this family that she doesn't like to do, but she didn't expect that the first thing she faced turned out to be this, and it was proposed by him.

Xixi slowly raised her head, her light-colored eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and the appearance of crying was distressing, Anthony's heart was clenched, and he endured it to resist the urge to hug her.

Xi Xi's voice was wrapped in an aggrieved cry: "Do you want me to marry any one of these people I don't know?"

"......" Anthony didn't know how to answer, he didn't start by saying, "You can get along with ...... first"

He didn't look at her and said that he rarely made such evasive gestures, and if he really had a clear conscience, why did he have to do that?

He actually knows it in his heart, right?

Is this a disguised rejection?

"How can you do this? How can you be so eager to push me to someone else......"

Heexi grabbed the list, tore it in front of him, threw it directly on him, turned around and snatched the door with tears in his eyes, Anthony called her from behind, she still didn't look back, and when he chased him out, she had already driven away.

Anthony watched her car disappear into the night, a sense of chagrin and powerlessness swept through his body, exhausting him.

Did he really, do it wrong?

Heeki was really angry this time, since she ran out of the house that day, she hasn't been home for a week, she hasn't answered her phone, and none of her friends know her whereabouts, Anthony has almost searched Paris, but he can't find her, he thinks she is back in the army, and asks Angela, but Angela also says no.

Angela was curious: "Did you quarrel with Xixi? Xixi is not such a wayward person, you must have done something very unacceptable to her." ”

Unacceptable...... Anthony smiled bitterly and had to briefly explain what had happened, and Angela was dumbfounded when she heard it: "What are you talking about?

“…… She was eighteen years old. ”

"So what?!!How can you say that you want to marry her to someone else!, don't you know that she ...... Xixi?" the words came to an abrupt end to herself, and she didn't know whether to say the next words or not.

Her hesitation made Anthony feel his throat hard, he seemed to have guessed the answer, and he didn't seem to know, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, his heart ached for a while, and finally he couldn't help but ask in a dumb voice: "Xixi...... What's wrong?"

Angela was angry, and she really cried out for Xixi, and she no longer hid it, and said directly: "Don't you know that Xixi likes you?"

Don't you know that Hei Hei likes you?

Anthony's fingers slowly curled up and slowly closed his eyes.

Ten years of knowing each other, the tacit understanding between them has already reached the point where you can know each other's thoughts with a look, Xi Xi likes him, he doesn't feel it, but he doesn't want to face it, he can't say the specific reason, about after two failed relationships, he began to fear love, or he had a heart in his heart He raised her like a daughter, in short, he just didn't want their relationship to cross this line.

The age difference between the twelve years is not much, but the distance between each other's hearts is big.

Anthony smiled silently and pretended to be confused: "...... I know, I like her too, she was raised by me, just like my daughter, how could I not like it, but does this have anything to do with the marriage I arranged for her?"

Angela was half silent, she felt sorry for Xixi's infatuation, but she couldn't blame her brother much, love is such a thing, it was originally your love and my willingness, and she couldn't force it, she hung up the phone without saying a word.

Anthony's hand hung limply, his phone fell on the carpet, and there was a slight sound behind him, and he turned slowly, and was surprised to see Heeki standing there, her eyes red and her lower lip almost bitten out of blood.

Anthony was a little nervous when she thought that she might have heard those words just now: "Hee-hee......"

She asked, "Uncle, don't you really like me at all?"

Anthony couldn't help but take a step forward: "Xixi, you listen to me......"

Xi Xi shook her head and asked him again, "Do you want me to marry someone else so much?"

She looked so sad, even though Anthony hadn't answered anything, but she seemed to have predicted the answer, and Anthony didn't know what to say.

The window paper was punctured so suddenly that Anthony didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only watch her in silence.

Xixi lowered her head and chuckled, and said sadly, "If this is your wish, I will do what you think." ”

She turned around and went out, Anthony was afraid that she would never go back like before, so he hurriedly chased after her: "Xixi!"

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay at home. Xi Xi went back to his room, leaning against the door and barely smiled, "You prepare another copy of those lists for me, and I'll see who is more pleasing to the eye when I go back...... If it's too troublesome, you can help me pick one, I believe in my uncle's vision...... Uncle, I'm a little tired and want to rest. ”

Anthony watched the door close in a daze, unable to lift his hand to knock.

A few days later, it was Xixi's birthday, and Madame Rosa meant to make a big deal and entertain guests from all sides, among which there were naturally those who favored Xixi, which was obviously the drunkard's intention not to drink, and Madame Rosa also said to Xixi in private, let her pick and choose.

Xixi nodded in low interest.

She is the absolute protagonist tonight, with a long ice blue dress with precious diamond jewelry, and her whole body seems to be glowing with silver under the refraction of the lights at the banquet scene.

Anthony stood in a corner with a wine glass in her hand, watching her surrounded by all kinds of men, her long eyelashes hanging down to hide the color.

Xixi came to her with a wine glass, her eyebrows were crooked, and the corners of her eyes were pasted with crystals, which made her a little charming: "Uncle, today is my birthday, aren't you happy?"

Anthony smiled: "Of course I'm happy." ”

She handed him a glass of champagne and touched his glass with her own glass: "I toast you, as if I thank you for rescuing me from the dark cellar, thank you for giving me such a good life and making me grow up, thank you......" She was silent for a moment, suddenly stopped talking, and smiled, "Thank you in short!"

Anthony looked at her quietly, suddenly smiled, and there was a soft ripple in his eyes, and whispered, "Happy birthday." ”

She smiled, "Thank you." ”

After this glass of wine, Xi Xi leaned on a bar counter to talk and laugh with him, talking about the red wine of tonight's banquet, talking about the long skirts on the ladies over there, and whether Angela who was far away in the army admired their food and wine, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that it was as if those pleasant things had never happened.

Anthony was naturally happy to be able to return to such a carefree appearance with her, but the change was so fast that he was inexplicably uneasy.

After chatting for a while, Anthony felt a dull pain in the corners of his forehead, and couldn't help but put down his wine glass and hold on to the bar, his brows furrowed.

Xi Xi hurriedly supported him and asked with concern: "Uncle, are you drunk?"

Anthony shook his head, he only drank two glasses tonight, and it was impossible to be drunk: "Maybe I was tired from the all-night draft of the contract last night, and I was a little dizzy." ”

"Then I'll help you back to your room to rest?"

He shook his head: "No, I'll go back by myself." ”

He refused, but Hee-shee stubbornly held him up, and Anthony pushed twice without pushing away, allowing her to help her to the bedroom on the third floor.

The soundproofing of the villa is excellent, with laughter in the lobby on the first floor and a sound of footsteps on the third floor.

Anthony felt that something was wrong with his body, first he was dizzy, and now he had a dry mouth, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but the dryness still couldn't go down.

Xi Xi helped him into the room, he fumbled to turn on the air conditioner, and pulled his tie, Xi Xi asked, "Is it hot?"

She suddenly leaned over, the fresh and clean fragrance of the girl's body passed through the tip of her nose, Anthony's chest itched like being coaxed by feathers, and subconsciously avoided her: "Don't get too close......"
