Volume 1 Chapter 89 The Beginning of the Dinner Party
The busy, uneventful day just passed......
It's busy, but it's not very busy, because the main person in charge of setting up the dinner and related matters is Alice, so as the protagonists of the day, Lux and I are naturally not busy. But then again, because of the special program I had arranged for Lux tonight, I still took advantage of Lux's nap time to get a little busy for a while, so that this special program could be carried out smoothly tonight.
Well, if you were to ask me what this special show was, all I could say was: wait and see.
"Kiki, Kiki......"
As I sat on the edge of the bed and pondered what I had and didn't, Lux, who had finished her shower, was choosing clothes for the dinner party under Alice's service. After about half an hour, Lux's delicate and melodious voice came from the cloakroom not far away, awakening me from my deep thought, and drawing me in to turn my head in the direction of the cloakroom.
The first thing that catches your eye is naturally Lux's pink hair pouring down like a waterfall, and the bangs on her forehead have obviously been trimmed by Alice, revealing Lux's full and smooth forehead at the same time, the double crescent jewelry pinned to the corner of Lux's forehead, with a golden yellow hue, highlights the faint light on its body, making it flash a beautiful arc from time to time.
The pale yellow lily dress I wore this morning was gone, and now Lux had changed into the evening dress I had chosen for her when we met, called 'Elegant Rose'. If the light yellow lily dress she wore this morning was a very simple dress for everyday wear, then Lux's current dress is the opposite of the typical representative of the flamboyant pie.
I wonder if anyone else remembers the description of 'Elegant Rose'?
This dress uses a warm pink color as the background color of the whole dress, its shoulders are arced, slightly down but fluffy, to the elbow up about ten centimeters and then closed, until the wrist, in this section of the relatively smooth sleeves on the outside of a line about two centimeters wide, this line is embroidered with a complex and mysterious pattern, some of which are hollowed, and in the shape of the center of the flower also wonderfully reflects a little white light, at first glance it looks like a galaxy dotted with countless stars, Quite eye-catching.
The upper part of the dress is loose, and on the left chest is a dark pink rose made of satin, which shimmers in the light of the light, and if you look closely, you can see that the edge of the rose is also outlined by golden lines. This makes it look neither overly high-profile nor luxurious, which is one of the biggest highlights of this dress.
When it comes to the waist, it is restrained by a pink ribbon, and after it restrains the waist, the extra part is exposed to the side of the waist, and it looks like a small tail from the front, which is quite cute. This pink ribbon is not gorgeous if it is just like this, but on the surface of this pink ribbon, there are all kinds of wonderful patterns embroidered with silver lines that reflect a faint white light, which makes it look like the first impression is 'gorgeous and complicated', which is beautiful.
The hem of the skirt was pink, slightly long, and visibly obscured from Lux's knees, and when it reached the lower edge of the skirt, it was evenly spaced with eight large dark pink roses, and in the gaps between them were several smaller and countless smaller roses. The edges of the large roses are also outlined by golden lines, and the small roses are not to be outdone, but its edges are outlined with silver lines, which makes it look like the Milky Way as the background, setting off eight bright, brilliant suns, a sense of nobrow and magnificence suddenly comes to the face - this is also its biggest highlight.
This evening dress is quite decently worn on Lux's body, its warm pink tone sets off Lux's pretty smile, the hands folded in front of her are even more snow-white in the little white light reflected by the sleeve pattern, the dark pink roses on the chest bloom the bright gold through the misty tones in the cloakroom, under the slender waist, the skirt just covers the knees, and the countless small roses on the skirt set off the graceful curves of Lux's calves, jade-like skin, and set off the eight large roses on it, Make their blooming golden rays even more brilliant.
Dressed in elegant roses, Lux just stood quietly in front of the door of the cloakroom, her subtle smile, ladylike standing, and under the background of the luxurious dress on her body, she naturally showed her noble temperament as a royal noble, and with her elegant behavior, she easily captured my heart. (It's the coolest thing to paste and copy!) οΌ
"I've seen it many times, but it's still beautiful on you, Lux. By the way, why did you suddenly remember to wear this dress again? β
The 'Elegant Rose' evening dress is rarely worn by Lux under normal circumstances, after all, we are still young, and we only attend dinner parties a few times a year, so if you think about it, this dress has been used less than five fingers since I bought it, which is why I asked Lux.
"Hmm~ Originally, people didn't know what to wear, after all, today is our birthday and engagement day...... However, when people saw it and saw it by accident, they thought it would be appropriate to wear it today, so they chose it. β
When she heard my appreciation, Lux smiled like a flower, and explained it, which was naturally my nod of approval.
After a slight pause, Lux smiled again, "Alice also thinks it's very suitable for people to wear this 'elegant rose' today, hehe......"
As soon as Lux's words fell, Alice's melodious but slightly cold voice sounded immediately, "Your Highness Qi, I also think that this 'elegant rose' is very suitable for Her Highness Lux, and because it is not used very often, even if you wear it today, no one will say anything." I have to say that Alice's consideration is still quite thoughtful, and even the number of times it has been used has been taken into account, which really makes people have to say the word "service".
"Then wear this one."
I smiled and nodded, agreeing with Lux and Alice, and then stood up, "Let's go, Lux, it's time to meet the guests of this dinner......" After that, I took the little hand of Lux who had come to me, turned around and walked towards the bedroom door, and as our special maid, Alice naturally accompanied me.
Because Lux once said that he didn't want to make the engagement banquet too grand, we didn't invite many guests to this birthday and engagement dinner, and Siegel, who originally planned to have a big one, also gave up his original plan because of Lux's request, so the number of guests at this banquet was naturally not much.
If you count it carefully, there are Siegel who is in charge of hosting, Alice who is in charge of everything, Reid who is in charge of security affairs, Kong Wanying and her boyfriend Rong Hongyuan, who have just joined my Klein family, and Sara's family, that's all. Of course, in Sara's family, in addition to Parklet, Renoa, and Aslan, who are well known in the original book, there is also one more Li Yalin who is regarded by Parklit as his own.
In this way, the number of people attending today's dinner was only nine, well, and with Lux and me, it was only eleven. In fact, there are only six people who really have dinner with us, including Siegel, Kong Wanying, Rong Hongyuan, Pacritt, Renoa, and Aslan.
Among them, Kong Wanying and Rong Hongyuan had already arrived at the Klein Mansion at noon, and according to Alice's continuous tracking, the couple was now strolling in the back garden of the Klein Mansion, waiting for the dinner to begin. Not to mention Reed, of course, so in reality, the only guests we needed to greet were Sarah's family.
As we descended the stairs to the living room, where we would pass by the main entrance, we met the host of tonight's dinner, Siegel Klein.
Because today is the day of his beloved daughter's engagement, Seagal's dress is naturally very formal, it is a very decent suit, but it is not the black or navy blue that Seagal usually wears, but a very rare pure white suit. It was embroidered with beautiful gold textures in places such as the leader and sleeves, which made Siegel look very formal while not losing the nobility and elegance required of the head of the familyβit was a rare men's dress, and this was the first time I had seen Siegel wear it.
I have to say that this pure white suit is indeed very decent on Siegel's body, revealing his charming appearance although he is middle-aged, and at the same time, it also shows his noble temperament, elegant manners, and unique momentum of superiors. That extremely strong sense of presence moved anyone who saw him, and his posture was deeply reflected in their minds.
At this time, Siegel was watching something through the virtual screen projected by the smart watch, and he didn't even notice our arrival, until the mischievous Lux quietly came behind Siegel, and stretched out his hands to cover Siegel's eyes with difficulty, and said, "Father, guess who they are?" Only then did Siegel break away from his focus.
The reason I use it as difficult is because Lux wants to cover Siegel's eyes, and he has to tiptoe and stretch his hand to the limit. Hawkers, no way, who called Lux not tall? The length of her arms is only normal for a child, so it was not easy for her to get around the back of the couch and cover Siegel's eyes.
It's a pity that the naughty Lux has already unmistakably revealed his identity when he spoke, so when Siegel came back to his senses, he showed a helpless smile and said softly: "Lux, you have already told your identity yourself, so do you need your father to guess who you are?" β
In fact, Lux is the only one in the family who interacts with Siegel in this way, so even if Lux doesn't reveal his identity, Siegel can also point it out instantly.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Hearing this, Lux didn't care, with Lux's intelligence, he naturally knew that he couldn't hide it from Siegel, and the reason why Lux did it now was just to remind Siegel that it was time to come back to his senses, that's all.
"Lord Siegel, the Sara family is about to arrive at the Klein Mansion, you see?"
After seeing Siegel come to her senses because of Lux's actions, Alice directly reports the whereabouts of Sarah's family. As the main guests of tonight's dinner, Sara's family was locked by Alice after arriving in April, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Siegel didn't rush to answer Alice's words, but turned his head to look at Lux's dress, Lux, who was wearing elegant roses, had to look good, and had a temperament, so naturally he would not disappoint Siegel, although Siegel did not have high requirements for dress, but Lux, who was wearing elegant roses, still admired Siegel again and again.
"The clothes Strange picked out for you really suited you, Lux."
Siegel's eloquence was naturally unspeakable, but just one sentence made me smile with Lux. As we smiled, Siegel turned his gaze to mine as well.
After the lunch break, I naturally changed into a pure white suit, and seriously, the style of this suit is similar to the suit that Siegel is wearing now, and the biggest difference between the two, except for the difference in size, is only a bright red rose pinned to my chest - by the way, this is what Alice strongly asked me not to put on, otherwise I don't want to wear it at all, because it feels really 'fancy'...... Well, I think it can be described as sullen.
But when I saw Siegel's proper plain white suit, I finally knew why Alice was so aggressive that I wear this rose, even at the expense of letting me rub a little oil or something...... I can't help it, it's because my suit is too similar to Siegel's suit.
"Huh?"
Siegel was obviously a little surprised by my attire, he stared at me with wide eyes for a moment, and then smiled in my uncomfortable eyes, "Although you look a little handsome, this suit can still bring out your temperament well...... Not bad, not bad, worthy of the man chosen by Lux. β
This sentence made my face relax, and to be honest, I was really worried that Siegel would not be happy with my dress...... But now it seems that Siegel is still very satisfied with my dress, and if it weren't for the latter sentence that made me want to complain very much, "It's really like I was back then...... Hahaha. β
ββ¦β¦β
Siegel's words made me roll my eyes, I didn't believe that Siegel looked as cute and charming as me when I was young...... Uh, am I complaining about my looks?
"Pretty girls will have a ...... on paper"
I don't want to say anything about the rest of the story, because it will cause irrepressible trauma to my 'young' mind...... I'm serious!
