Chapter 488: I Can't Convince Myself to Be With Him
;
As soon as Prince Philip saw her, he excitedly shouted, "Little fairy." β
Cui Yuanxi's face immediately slid down two cold sweats, she lowered her face and didn't particularly want to deal with him.
An Shaoyun walked down from upstairs, squeezed Philip away, and said to Cui Yuanxi: "You leave him alone, come in first." β
Cui Yuanxi nodded, she wore a light dress today, and she was dressed quite ladylike, but An Shaoyun's attention didn't seem to be here, he said: "All my friends are here today, don't be nervous, they are all very good." β
"I know!"
"Are you going to have a party at home?"
"Well, there's a BBQ barbecue that starts in the afternoon. β
"Oh, I didn't say it earlier, I'm dressed like this, isn't it inconvenient. β
"It's okay, just watch from the sidelines. β
"Okay!"
"What are you going to do now?"
An Shaoyun glanced at the time and said, "Go to the kitchen and cook Chinese dishes." β
"Do you know how to cook Chinese food?"
"I know a little, I learned. β
For a while, An Shaoyun was crazy about cooking, and his cooking skills have made great progress.
"Then I'll help you out, I don't know anyone outside. β
An Shaoyun nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to know you later." β
Cui Yuanxi herself has lived abroad for a year, and when she is at home, sometimes her father is outside, so she thinks about cooking by herself, although her cooking skills are not top-notch, but she can barely make do.
Because of Cui Yuanxi's help, An Shaoyun's speed has accelerated a lot.
The dining place is outdoors, and the people who come are all friends of An Shaoyun, who are about the same age, and their status is the aristocratic family of country Y, among them, the most obvious is of course Prince Philip.
Although he is not the eldest grandson, he is handsome, excellent in academics, and has developed athletic talent, and is the most beloved youngest grandson abroad. Because he has been pampered too much since he was a child, as long as he looks down on him, there is nothing he can't get.
Recently, he just broke up with his ex-girlfriend, the reason is that he doesn't want to be controlled too strictly, so for the sake of freedom, he gave up love, of course, it is not love, because after that, he fell in love with the little fairy again.
Philip's feelings are undisguised, he is even more direct and straightforward than An Shaoyun, and sat next to Cui Yuanxi first, constantly offering courtesy, and even faintly announcing to everyone present, this woman is my favorite, and none of you are allowed to rob it.
Cui Yuanxi sat on the side, extremely embarrassed, because the other party's identity was special, so she couldn't just leave with a black face like before, but had to deal with it with a fake smile.
When Prince Philip finally poured her wine, An Shaoyun saw her embarrassment and said casually: "Filip, she doesn't like to drink." β
Fili is a term of call between friends.
Prince Philip withdrew his hand with some smugglingness.
When the BBQ started in the afternoon, Daisy also came.
Daisy is much more open than Cui Yuanxi's shy and introverted, and she and An Shaoyun's friends also know each other, so she has no stage fright at all, and her performance is down-to-earth and generous, and finally she fell on Cui Yuanxi's face.
Cui Yuanxi was glanced at by her, and somehow, she lowered her face a little weakly.
After all, she is An Shaoyun's real fiancΓ©e, and she is nothing, at most a poor and pathetic crush.
As soon as she thought of this, her mood instantly dropped to the bottom, and she didn't even understand why she had come to this embarrassing place.
It's a terrible feeling to be suppressed.
And Daisy seems to see her thoughts, always intentionally or unintentionally separating her from An Shaoyun, and Philip on the side is like a piece of dog skin plaster, which can't be shaken off, which is also very annoying.
In the end, she excused herself to get the spices, and finally left the place.
When she came out of the kitchen, she met Daisy, who was a head taller than her, looked at her with some condescension, and said, "You are the daughter of Dilan's stepfather?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
"No problem, first meeting. β
Cui Yuanxi smiled reluctantly.
Daisy handed a bottle of cocktail to Cui Yuanxi, and she hurriedly waved her hand: "I don't drink." β
A sneer sneered from Daisy's lips: "In our country, there is no one who can't drink. β
Cui Yuanxi thought that if I don't know how to drink, I won't drink it, and it's not a big deal.
"You like Dylan very much?"
Cui Yuanxi's face suddenly turned red, but she refused to admit it, saying, "He is my brother, I don't hate him!"
"I don't mean the like, you know what I mean. β
Cui Yuanxi took a deep breath: "I know that you are her fiancΓ©e, I don't have other ideas, don't worry, I understand my identity." β
"I just wanted to remind you. Daisy stared at her deeply: "Dilan's father is a very cruel and unreasonable person, if he knows that Dilan is in a relationship with other women besides me, then not only you, but also Dilan will be implicated." β
After a pause, she added, "The criss-crossing scars on Dylan's back are all his father's handiwork. β
After a while, Daisy spoke again: "He used to like a woman, and then that woman was thrown into the sea by his father to feed the sharks. β
Cui Yuanxi's face suddenly became extremely defeated.
"It's not me who lies to you or scares you or anything, his father is such a person who can do anything. β
Daisy turned to leave.
Cui Yuanxi was not interested at all, and she held on until the end of the party, Philip strongly asked to send her home, originally Cui Yuanxi wanted to refuse, but when she saw that she didn't know what she thought of for a moment, she finally agreed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In May, the weather gradually got hotter, Chu Ci's stomach bulged like a balloon, Mianmian was placed in Lu Xiang for more than a month, and now, Mianmian has gradually accepted this fact, when she wants to come back, she will come back, and when she doesn't want to come back, she will stay in Lu Xiang.
Fu Heng applied for a boarding school for Baozi, and sent him there at the beginning of the next semester, originally he wanted to send Baozi abroad, but Chu Ci was very reluctant in his heart, and finally discussed it and sent him to an aristocratic boarding school.
Lu Xiang has been in a good mood recently, first of all, her work has improved greatly, and secondly, her emotional aspect is finally no longer a blank, Qi Jue is very good to her, and she has no temper at all.
However, her emotional career was not all smooth sailing, and the Qi family's attitude towards her can be said to be very unfriendly.
First of all, she is a divorced woman with an oil bottle, and she is no longer young.
Secondly, her predecessor was Mu Xiuchen, and it is said that the man has not completely let go of her, Mrs. Qi does not like her son to compete with other men for women, especially that man is still from the Mu family.
On the weekend, Chu Ci asked Lu Xiang to go shopping, and she didn't dare to go too far, just in the nearby shopping mall.
When she was on the top floor, Lu Xiang bought her a few children's gadgets, looked at Chu Ci's gradually bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I have to buy one for each man and woman, look at your belly, will it be twins!"
"When I had a prenatal checkup, I didn't say it, it shouldn't be. β
"That's probably a big fat boy, I didn't have your belly as big when I was five months old. β
Lu Xiang held her cheeks, thinking about the past, at that time, there were always some inexplicable people who called her, saying that she was not worthy of Mu Xiuchen, and asked her to leave as soon as possible, plus because of warm things at that time, Mu Xiuchen always broke her heart, so during that time, she was worried a lot, and she was also thin and shapeless, which was extremely bad for the development of the fetus.
The two of them came down from the baby's mall and sat down in the cafΓ© on the first floor, Chu Ci didn't dare to drink coffee, so he asked for a glass of lemonade.
Lu Xiang chattered with her a bunch of trivial things, including the previous things, most of her memories were recovered, and even when it came to what happened in a certain year and month, Lu Xiang began to have an impression.
She took a sip of the vanilla latte and said, "I used to be desperate to recover my memory, but I can't remember it, but I don't want to think about it now, but I remember a lot of things from before." β
Chu Ci smiled: "Some things are deliberately not able to achieve the results you want. β
"yes!"
"Is Mianmian obedient to you?"
"Very well-behaved, she still seems to be a little strange to me, not as relaxed as you are. β
"Take your time!"
"By the way, how are you and Qi Jue, are you going to get married?"
"I don't know, I'm going to see her parents next week, but I guess it's difficult, his mother has a lot of opinions about me. β
"If it's true love, it's not a big difficulty?"
"I think the same way, I don't want to toss anymore, I think about the man next to me, he is more reliable, the person is good, he really has nothing to say to me, after the age of picking, many things will not be as I want. β
"Qi Jue is very good, in fact, no matter what, it is enough to be good to you. β
"Hmm!"
"If you want, we can actually have a wedding together. β
"Forget it!" Lu Xiang smiled: "I'll steal your limelight." β
Chu Porcelain: "......"
After so many years, this stinky beauty still hasn't changed, she smiled: "When the time comes, I will be embarrassed to be recognized as a bridesmaid." β
"I didn't be a bridesmaid when you got married last time, but I'll be a bridesmaid this time. β
"No problem. β
Chu Ci sat and suddenly remembered something, "When I was tidying up Fu Heng's study a few days ago, I found a document?"
"Huh?"
"It's about you and Mianmian. β
"Me and Mianmian, what's it?"
It is Mu Xiuchen's will, and 50% of the property under his name will be given to Mianmian, and the rest will be donated in the form of donations. β
Lu Xiang didn't speak for a long time, and only after a while did he ask, "When did this happen." β
"I looked at the date, it was set in December of the previous year. β
Lu Xiang was silent, and after a while she said: "Mianmian is his daughter, but I can't convince myself to be with him." β
