The next day, the weather was still nice, the weather was sunny, the temperature was not high, and the sparkling surface of the lake looked particularly beautiful after looking out over Lake Geneva on the hillside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, although Audrey took them on a tour outside the town, she rushed home in the afternoon, after all, there was still a little thing to take care of.

Daddy naturally wanted to go back with him, but Diana didn't seem to want to stay with Li Xu and went back with him. Although it is very unhappy that they show affection, it is not interesting to be alone outside, and of course they can only go back.

In fact, for Daddy and Audrey to be so close, the whole manor is happy to see it, Daddy has been here many times before, and the older servants of the manor have a very good impression of him. And in the marriage of Dottie and Audrey, they are also on the side of the lady, so they are naturally happy to see it.

Even Ms. Hemstella, who is old and has a memory that has begun to decline, gives her father a better attitude because her daughter has more smiles, although most of the time it is towards Li Xu.

The only thing that is unhappy is probably the rupee, and as for the reason for the unhappiness......

"I don't want you to be my brother!" said Ruby to Li Xu.

"Why?" Li Xu was curious.

"If you were my brother, you would be like Sean, nagging to death all day long. Ruby said grumblingly.

So Li Xu unfortunately told him that even now, he is still his brother.

In the evening, the person who contacted the father replied that there was indeed a pet transport vehicle on the side of Geneva that had passed through Morges yesterday and stayed for a while, and that there was indeed a young deer, and the only young deer that escaped.

So the father immediately wanted to buy the fawn, but Audrey didn't want him to break the bank, and was about to argue, but he heard the phone say that they had contacted the pet company, and the other party said that the fawn was ordered by someone else, but they felt that the condition was not good and returned it, and if Audrey Hepburn liked it, they were willing to give it away for free.

When it came to this, Audrey accepted it, and Li Xu sighed again in his heart, Daddy is really leaky in his work, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Knock knock, there was a knock on the door, and Li Xu, who was sitting by the window, immediately closed the book in his hand, got up and came to the door: "Which one?"

When I opened it, I couldn't help but be stunned, because standing outside was the smiling Audrey Hepburn.

"Aunt Audrey, is there something wrong?" asked Li Xu with some surprise.

"Can I come in first?" Audrey gestured to the room.

"Oh, of course. Li Xu hurriedly welcomed her in.

After sitting down, greeting for a few more minutes, and saying something unnutritious about whether she slept well or not, Audrey sighed and finally got to the point: "Your girlfriend found me last night and talked to me. ”

"Dinah?" Li Xu immediately sighed, "Let me guess, she probably told you that I will find a lover in the future." ”

"Yes, and not only that. Audrey smiled.

"That little fool ......" Li Xu covered his forehead.

"She said, you want to marry her, but you have to find a lover outside, she loves you very much, and she is also very entangled. Audrey continued, "As much as I love you, I struggle as much as I do. ”

"Yes, I know. Li Xu sighed again.

"And what do you think, Pipon?" Audrey asked seriously, "It shouldn't be something I should ask about, but Dinah is easy to ......."

She made a few meaningless gestures and didn't continue, but Li Xu knew what she wanted to say, so she could only shrug her shoulders: "Aunt Audrey, you know, my marriage can't be my own decision." ”

"Yes, I know. Audrey nodded, "I've known since your father." ”

"Dina is the only candidate," Li Xu then added, "I can accept it, and I can also let my family accept it." ”

“…… Do you love her?" asked Audrey after a moment of silence.

"I like her a lot. Li Xu replied.

"Like and love are two different things. Audrey reminded.

"That's the problem, Aunt Audrey," Li Xu spread his hand, "Dinah is kind, but also simple and innocent, and insecure. It attracted me and made me want to protect her, to make her happy, to ...... Let her maintain this rare kindness and innocence. Listening to her sister Sarah, Prince Charles originally wanted her to be his wife, to be honest, it is hard for me to imagine how she would live in Buckingham Palace with such a character. ”

"Then you should treat her well, instead of saying that you will definitely find a lover. Audrey looked at him worriedly.

Li Xu was silent for a moment: "Aunt Audrey, if you can, I want to know, in your eyes, what is the most important thing for a marriage to last long?"

"Feelings. Audrey replied.

"That's the foundation, whether you like it or love, it's the foundation, you can have it at the beginning, or you can slowly cultivate it later. Li Xu sighed, "In my opinion, if a marriage wants to be long-lasting, the most important thing is loyalty. ”

He then elaborated: "Everyone has secrets that they can't confide in outsiders, and the same is true between husband and wife. There will always be a time when enthusiasm fades, and all kinds of ordinary concerns will also surface, and they must be considered. ”

Audrey didn't speak, just looked at Li Xu, waiting for his next words.

"How to continue the relationship between each other requires both parties to make compromises, such as saying some things openly and honestly. But it's better to say these things later than early, and it's better to say them when you're impulsive, and especially when you're surging with feelings, no matter how clear the other person's logic is, you can still find loopholes and attack them, and even the more serious ones may even rise to the level of betrayal, so—" He paused here.

"Since you know that there will be such a possibility, and it will magnify this possibility if you put it on yourself, it is better to make it clear at the beginning, draw a specific scope, and then try to find a way to maintain it, don't hide it, and don't lie. Li Xu finally said, "This is what I understand as loyalty." ”

"But, Pipon, have you ever thought that this might not be long?" asked Audrey after a moment's thought.

"Of course, Aunt Audrey," Li Xu smiled, "The success and failure of anything are multifaceted factors, loyalty is a necessary condition, but it also requires a lot of sufficient conditions. ”

He sighed lightly: "All I can do is to protect her from harm, support her in pursuing her dreams, take care of her kindness and innocence, and not be polluted by the real society, in exchange for her chance to stay by my side, that's all." ”

At this point, it stopped, and Audrey didn't speak, staring at him for a long time before whispering, "You're pessimistic about emotional matters, Pi Pang." ”

"Maybe, after all, ......" Li Xu shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, "You know, my parents ......"

"Well, you young people are always coming up with new ideas, and I'm out of step with the times. Audrey said a joke and stood up, "It's a little late, I should leave." ”

Li Xu hurriedly got up and opened the door for her.

"Pipon," said Audrey again at the door, "I only hope you will cherish Dinah, although we have only known each other for a day, I know that she is a very good girl." ”

"I'll do my best, Aunt Audrey. Li Xu replied.

After Audrey was gone, he sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

It's not a fool, at least "loyalty is the most important foundation of marriage", that's what he thinks.

Such examples abound according to past and present lives - well, mainly the influence of this life. And Li Xu, who has already tasted it, how can he give up the entire forest for the sake of a tree?

There are only three reasons why a man doesn't cheat, the temptation is not big enough, he is tired of playing and wants to retract his heart, and ...... No, it doesn't work.

However, this can lead to pessimism...... I think I'm innocent? Li Xu was puzzled. I'm obviously a heartless optimist, okay?

Then again, although she was prepared, Diana liked and admired Audrey so much, and Audrey was also gentle and elegant, she would definitely confide in her.

It's just that it's only been a day...... No, if it was said last night, it would have only been half a day, right? Probably too soon, right? Did Audrey win Diana's trust in such a short period of time, or was it ...... She's too impatient?

Thinking of this, Li Xu suddenly stood up, frowned and thought for a while, walked around the room twice, and finally opened the door and went out, followed the passage to the outside of a room, stretched out his hand and knocked.

A moment later, Diana's voice came from inside: "Which one?"

"Daina, it's me, Add. Li Xu said.

There was silence inside before he said, "Eddie, it's a little late, can you talk about it tomorrow?"

"No, I want to talk to you now, Dinah, will you let me in?" Li Xu said in a gentle tone outside.

After another moment of silence, the door finally clicked open, but only a crack opened, and Diana, in her pink silk pajamas, looked out carefully.

"So......" Li Xu raised his hand and made a gesture of "Can I come in now".

Diana bit her lip and finally opened the door wide open for him to enter.

"Aunt Audrey came to me a few dozen minutes ago. Li Xu didn't look for a place to do it, stood in the middle of the bedroom, looked at Diana and said.

"Huh?" The girl in front of her screamed slightly, slightly embarrassed, even if she was mentally prepared.

"Although I always tell myself that I don't want to persecute you, everything will just go naturally, but ......" Li Xu raised his hands, showing a helpless and worried look, "Can you tell me, what do you think, Dina, what are you worried about now?"

"I'm ......," Diana hesitated, finally closing her eyes," Sarah told me...... She and His Royal Highness Charles...... The agreement has been made......"
