48. XLVIII

We come from the sea, and when we return to the sea, whether we sail or look at it from afar, it is as if we have found a home in the dark.

She could even imagine what the noise was going on in the corridor of time now that the news of her return was known. But this time she still didn't plan to meet the ancestors who must have a lot to say, because she had more important things to arrange in advance. She has never been controlled by others, even in the first most difficult years, she has persevered through it with her chest and gritted her teeth, and there is no reason why she has to endure the threat of a capitalist and nouveau riche when she is already full-fledged.

After changing into a formal dress for the visit and taking care of himself, Liu Fanxu returned to the study. She sat down at her desk and quickly reviewed the family's official business, fortunately, she had already formulated a complete operation system before, so that there would be no signs of decay in the two years that she ignored the operation of the industry.

And more importantly, the other nobles are waiting and seeing, and no one has dared to be the first to test. Of course, this does not preclude them from having to take care of themselves, and anyone who has to endure a group of Muggle half-blood wizards knocking on their doors and breaking into their own territory every day, and then being searched and interrogated by various things, will not be in the mood to think about anything else.

Liu Fanxu was burying his head in dealing with the text, Emma suddenly appeared, she bowed first, and then opened her mouth to report, "Master, Mr. Malfoy has asked to enter the manor, this is his greeting." Emma held a gilded greeting post in both hands and respectfully placed it on Liu Fanxu's desk.

Liu Fanxu frowned at first, then chuckled, she took the beautifully textured but hastily written greeting post, and said in a good mood, "Invite Mr. Malfoy to the reception room, and I'll go over." Emma was ordered to disappear and leave. Liu Fanxu sent the processed documents to their respective responsible persons, and then got up and walked around the desk and out of the study.

The reception room is next to the flower gallery near the perimeter, next to her magnolia bushes, and the view is very beautiful. Even though she hasn't been back here for a long time, the scenery there is still unforgettable, and it's actually her favorite place to go besides the study.

She walked gracefully to the glass door of the reception room, raised her hand and gently pushed open the double doors, Malfoy stood in the center of the reception room, facing the flower gallery with his back to the door, and it was obvious that he also liked the pleasing snow-colored flowers more.

He heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and immediately turned to look at the visitor, the black wool cloak made a ripple in the air, with a thick elegance and nobility, it was obvious that the young Malfoy family master had obtained the true inheritance of old Mr. Malfoy, and he was gradually becoming a real Malfoy.

Liu Fanxu walked into the reception room, her steps were steady and elegant, the smile on her face was graceful, and her demeanor was all right, and she couldn't find the slightest fault. She has always been like this, showing the world her best side, wearing a luxurious mask of hypocrisy, hiding her true self in the darkness that they will never be able to peep into, and no one knows what is going on in her heart. Even he, Draco Malfoy, the man she called a friend, was the same.

Malfoy's handsome face could no longer be disguised as an elegant expression, his expression was distorted, and he glared at the senior sister he regarded as a friend almost angrily, and in a hoarse and low voice, he said hatefully, "Liu Fanxu, give me an explanation." "He thought they had the same position and the same interests, he thought he was different for her, he thought they were friends. But this qiē thought was shattered by the news that Liu Fanxu disappeared for no reason two years ago, and she didn't even notify him in advance to give him a buffer in his heart, and suddenly disappeared from their sight, without any news.

"I'm sorry, Draco." The hypocritical smile on Liu Fanxu's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a sincere apology, she looked at his gaze that was almost about to breathe fire, the corners of her mouth turned into a bitter smile, she lowered her eyelashes, moved her lips, and explained softly, "As a friend, I'm sorry." ”

"Hah!" Draco Malfoy tore the shawl off his shoulder and threw it into the armchair beside him, he pinched his waist with his left hand, clutched his wand in his right hand, and grinned mockingly, "Friend? I thought the moment you disappeared silently, we weren't friends anymore, Aga! ”

Hearing what he called her, she smiled and sighed, this arrogant Malfoy, it seems that his duplicity will not be changed for a lifetime. She slowly walked to the armchair across from him, pulled up her skirt, and sat down slowly, she looked up into Malfoy's eyes, and raised her hand to signal him to sit down, her voice mixed with apology and laughter, "Draco, do you want to hear it?" My explanation. ”

Hearing her understated tone, Malfoy had the illusion of a punch on the cotton, and he wanted to brush his sleeves and give her a dashing and angry back, but he didn't come here to show her the back, so he had to suppress his anger for the time being, and sat down slowly across from her.

Seeing that his etiquette was still thorough, he said that he was still different from before after all. Liu Fanxu lowered his eyes, tugged at his eyelashes, and said lightly, "I'm different from you, Draco, I can't forget the loss I once had, I can't accept a stranger to construct a false surface, I don't even need to bear the pressure of continuing the bloodline." You should have thought of my departure, and why are you so angry. Here, the home we thought was no longer able to erect a barrier against ridicule for us, and we have lost the right to refuse. ”

Malfoy squinted his eyes, finally loosening his tense body, he leaned lazily back on the back of the armchair, recovering the truth that he had always shown in front of her, and he twitched his thin lips mockingly, "That's right, I should have thought that you were actually the coward who indulged in the past and never faced the reality. His fingers played with the snake's wand, his eyelashes slightly constricted, and he continued in a heavy voice, "That's why I advise you to find some thoughts for yourself, at least so that you don't think cranky." ”

He raised his eyes to look at Liu Fanxu opposite, and saw that there was no longer the gloom and gloom of the past between her eyebrows, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, just now she was only angry, and only then did she notice her changes, her eyes quickly swept over her whole body, and finally her eyes stayed on her left ring finger, the ring that she did not hide her intentions at all, blatantly flashing with crystal light.

"Hmph" Malfoy snorted lightly, his face was disapproving, but there was no expected contempt and ridicule, but on the always arrogant face, he could still see a little 'relieved' general relief on that always arrogant face, he lifted his eyelids and slanted at Liu Fanxu, the corners of his mouth hooked a wicked smile, and his voice teased with mischievous ridicule "A Muggle? Ha, it looks like your perfect record is coming to an end, and you're going to be kicked out of your circle. ”

Liu Fanxu smiled and said lightly, "It looks like you are very proud, why, without my place, how many benefits can you get?" Malfoy grinned, "At least more than now." His eyes were fixed on her expression, and seeing that her smile was still flawless, he didn't entangle, and took the initiative to give up, "But I don't plan to take this hot potato, without you, none of us can sit still." It's a pity that their greed has blinded their shallow knowledge, but fortunately they still know what fear is, and I think you have left them with a memory that will last a lifetime. ”

"But the memories fade, and it's clear that some people can't hold back their ever-expanding ambitions." A hint of darkness flashed on Liu Fanxu's face, she lowered her eyes, and said indifferently, "But there is one thing, I really don't plan to occupy the first place anymore." Malfoy raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his lips, and a dark glint of disapproval flashed in his eyes, "For that Muggle?" Aga, it's not so easy to retreat. She chuckled, her eyes fixed on Malfoy's eyes, and she was silent. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned irritably, pursed his lips and cursed, "You really plan to do this, you are so sure that I will not bite you back." ”

Her smile remained unchanged, but the words that came out of her mouth were very calm, "It is undeniable that I have thought about this possibility, but you will not be so stupid if you have comprehensive benefits." Of course, if your IQ drops significantly in the two years we haven't seen in a long time, I can only consider myself unlucky and deliver the wrong person to trust. ”

"Oh, shut up, Aga!" Malfoy's eyes widened, and he exclaimed angrily, "Alright! All right! You know I'll never fail your trust. I thought we were friends. The smile on Liu Fanxu's face was even stronger, she looked at him, and slowly spoke, "Anyway, I'm sorry for saying goodbye at the beginning, but it's because I treat you as a friend." You're already enough every day, and you don't need to add more unnecessary scrutiny to me. ”

Malfoy snorted and replied in a weird way, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness." In fact, you're wrong, Potter scrutinized me more than twice as often as you did before you left, and that idiot with a brain full of sagebrush always firmly believed that I had hidden you, and God knows I was surprised and even angry at your disappearance. ”

"Sorry to worry you." Liu Fanxu replied with his own filtration system, and Malfoy retorted angrily, "Who is worried about you!" Stupid, I didn't think you were murdered in a filthy corner by some dark wizard! ”
