Chapter 31: Once Upon a Time (3)

Brother Xuan hasn't been home since that day, and I'm living like a walking corpse. My heart has been wounded, and I don't want to lose even the last bit of dignity, I won't beg him to come back, and I won't tell the city lord and his wife about this matter, but I just put all the grievances in my heart and bear it silently by myself.

One day a week later, the City Lord's Mansion welcomed a special guest, the Earl who pursued me.

His appearance was very unexpected to me, and I thought that he was the one I was most sorry for of all people, and I gave him hope for no reason but only for another man. So I didn't refuse his invitation, and I have no reason to decline.

That night, he was wearing a black tuxedo, like a noble knight, he had not paid attention to his appearance, and now at a glance, he looked a little better than Brother Xuan.

He has a face that seems to be finely sculpted, a handsome, beautiful nose and a cherry blossom-like lip color.

The corners of his lips are perfectly curved, and he seems to be smiling at all times. This smile seems to make the sunlight suddenly break through the clouds and shine in at once, gentle and free.

He is long and elegant, and looks more erect in a proper tuxedo.

A black and gold shining ring on his hand showed extraordinary luxury, and the whole person had a natural noble and extraordinary aura, no wonder that woman was going to haunt him alive or dead.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and he knelt down on one knee and greeted me in a standard knightly salute.

In fact, they are also well aware of the matter between me and Brother Xuan, and they have always felt that their son is sorry for me, after all, since they got married, Brother Xuan has never had sex with me, and the result is obvious, now that his son has not come home for a long time, how can he not know where he is with whom, but they also like the unborn child, after all, it is their grandson.

So when someone invited me to the ball, they tried every possible way to encourage me to go out.

Sitting in the carriage with the Earl, he was very funny, and Rao was amused many times by people like me who did not understand the amorous feelings. After marrying Brother Xuan, it was the first time I had laughed so easily, and I suddenly felt that it seemed like a good decision to come out with him.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the banquet place, this was a banquet organized by a viscount in Red Leaf City, I appeared with this earl and immediately attracted the attention of others, from the time we got off the bus to the time we entered the banquet hall, all eyes were drawn by us, after all, the two of us are noble and beautiful, and the other is handsome and extraordinary, so naturally we have attracted a lot of attention.

Accustomed to these fiery gazes, I did not feel any discomfort, and gracefully took the Earl's hand and walked slowly with the lady's shelf.

The banquet was very good, it was all young men, so it was not very formal, and I often laughed at the deliberate fawning of the earl. I smiled so much tonight that my eyes met a pair of angry eyes.

The look that wanted to devour me alive was from Brother Yu Xuan, and I actually had a hint of joy in my heart when I saw his angry eyes, thinking that he was starting to care about me, but when my eyes swept to her behind him, I was just slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, and looked away.

It turned out that Brother Xuan was halfway to this banquet, and the woman was pregnant and should not have attended any more banquets, but she was clamoring to come to Brother Xuan so she reluctantly agreed, and when I arrived here, I saw me smiling and chatting with the earl.

I was about to walk away but was grabbed by Brother Xuan, "Why are you here?" Brother Xuan asked.

I was slightly stunned, I couldn't agree to other people's invitations because he could bring other women to the banquet, my dignity did not allow him to trample on it like this, what kind of expression did he have, as if a husband who caught his wife cheating.

I forcibly suppressed the grievances and anger in my heart, and said with a faint smile: "It was the Earl who invited me here." ”

He grabbed my hand so hard that it seemed like she was about to break it, and I couldn't leave, and the pain in my wrist made me frown. The earl on the side saw the scene in front of him, so he shook Brother Xuan's hand and asked elegantly, "This gentleman, can you let go of my female companion?" ”

The woman also shook Brother Xuan's hand when she saw the scene in front of her, looking like she was pitiful. As if Brother Xuan would cry if one of them disagreed, Brother Xuan glanced at her before letting go of my hand.

My wrist was already bruised, and when the earl on the side saw it, his brows furrowed slightly, so he immediately pulled me away, walked to the side, and took out a bottle of medicine to help me wipe it carefully.

I didn't refuse his kindness, I lowered my head and looked at my wrist in a daze, feeling the blazing gaze behind me, and my heart was at a loss. I don't understand what Brother Xuan means by doing this, but after thinking about it, this is probably the so-called dignity of a man, after all, what man can allow his wife to be someone else's female companion, or at such a grand banquet.

When I was stunned, I suddenly felt that my left wrist was also grabbed, and then I was pulled strongly, and when I came back to my senses, I had already appeared at the door of the banquet, and it was Brother Xuan who pulled me out.

The two of them sat quietly in the carriage back to the City Lord's Mansion, neither of them spoke, the air was extremely depressing, and after sending me back to the City Lord's Mansion, he threw down a sentence that he was not allowed to go out to the banquet with the Earl in the future, and then left, guessing that he was going back to pick him up, she didn't respond, and turned to leave.

Looking at the two wrists with slight red marks, I shook my head helplessly and returned to my room.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, and everything would return to the original track, but since that day on, the Earl has often visited the palace, and occasionally I will follow him out to dinner, and after such a week, Brother Xuan often appears in the city lord's mansion.

Whenever the Earl appeared, he would come back by chance, and then insert himself between us, and I couldn't help but laugh at his childish appearance, and sometimes in order to deliberately anger him, I would even go out with the Count in front of him.

During that time, my mood was much better, at least not as depressed as before, until the woman appeared again.

I didn't agree to see her because of the last frame-up, but she actually shamelessly visited the house.

Looking at her coquettish attitude, let me fulfill her and Brother Xuan, she really loves Brother Xuan, I can't help but laugh in my heart, this woman's acting skills are really good, if I hadn't seen her true face last time, even I would have been deceived by her.

She continued to show me the pity and pear blossom with the rain, while I just watched coldly from the sidelines.

It's almost lunch time, she doesn't want to leave at all, she is still singing and singing over there, it's not easy to look at her, she can be hypocritical like this, I had to politely ask her if she wanted to stay for dinner, I didn't expect her to be shameless to agree.

I had no choice but to tell my subordinates to prepare lunch, which was the most conflicting day for me, and until now I wonder if it was the right choice to leave her to eat at that time.

This meal not only changed her life, but also affected the fate between me and Brother Xuan, making me in pain for a long time, but if I was given another chance to choose, maybe I would choose it the same way!
