Chapter 39
Jin Xuan fed Wu Chenghe a few small cakes, and was called by Hobert to entertain guests. ΟΟΟ.? ΟΟ?. ΟΡg Are you still watching today? (Pro,())The speed update is waiting for you! Wu Chenghe finally breathed a sigh of relief, even on such a formal occasion, Jin Xuan's aperture was too bright, and the eyes of many people in the venue were unconsciously attracted by him, and then standing with him Wu Chenghe suspected that he would be burned into a skewer by those envious, jealous and hateful sights.
Today's guests were the three star generals and their families, but there were also some other officials who attended. Chen Miaomiao was called by his beautiful mother to greet a few uncles, and Wu Chenghe left alone, leaning against the long window with a glass of juice for wallflowers. As a quasi-member of the commander's family, his identity is more embarrassing, so it is best to reduce his sense of existence, so as not to arouse the disgust of his stepmother.
"Hey!" A soft greeting suddenly came from his side, Wu Chenghe turned his head and found a little Lori wearing a goose yellow puffy skirt standing beside him, who was the eldest granddaughter of General Lancer.
"Your name is Charrie, and you're Marlowe's brother?" Little Lori's big eyes looked at him brightly, "You are the son of the commander's ex-girlfriend?" β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Wu Chenghe praised her ability to generalize, and smiled as kindly as she could, "Hello, Miss Lanser. β
"Huh, you know me? Chen Miaomiao must have told you, right? Lori touched the juice cup with him and took a small sip: "Anyway, you don't look like the commander at all, and you don't look like Marlowe." β
"I look like my mother." Wu Chenghe is generally more patient with Lori, and this Lori looks quite innocent.
"You're so white, and your skin is good." Lori looked at his face carefully, "Your eyes are so beautiful, they're black, are all Chinese like that?" β
"Yes." Wu Chenghe was actually quite distressed by his excessively fair skin, and said with a smile, "Your eyes are beautiful, they are pure ice blue, very charming." β
Twelve or thirteen-year-old Lori was just when she was in love, and she was immediately happy when she was praised by him: "Is it? Your mouth is so sweet, no wonder someone as powerful as your aunt can accept you. β
"Huh." She didn't accept me because I had a sweet mouth, but because of her husband...... Wu Chenghe didn't want to say anything to a Lori, only smiled faintly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"There's a prom, do you have a dance partner?" Lori asked suddenly.
"Uh, no." Wu Chenghe shook his head, "I'm not good at dancing, just watch others dance." β
"That's not good, all the guests have to dance the first dance, why don't I be your dance partner?" Lori said on a whim, then noticed the difference in their height, raised her hand to compare, and wrinkled her nose, "Oh, you're a lot taller than me, forget it." "Wu Chenghe is very short among boys, but he is still a head taller than the twelve or thirteen-year-old Lori.
"Why don't you go and ask my little aunt to dance." Little Lori thought of a play and poked him in the shoulder, "She's about as tall as you." β
Wu Seung-hyuk didn't want to have anything to do with the Lancers, especially women of the same age, and Liliz wouldn't be happy about it. So he apologized: "I really don't know how to dance, and your little aunt is so beautiful, there must be many wonderful boys who invite her, I don't think I need to bother her." β
Little Lori frowned and said, "My little aunt has an awkward temper, she doesn't bother to deal with those boys, I let you invite her because I see that you can talk and be easy-going." β
Wu Chenghe still smiled and shook his head. Little Lori turned her toes and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, she asked me to come to you." β
"Huh? What are you looking for me for? Wu Chenghe was surprised. Little Lori leaned close to him and whispered: "She wants you to be her first dance partner, let me remind you, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, you didn't dare to invite her, then I only have to tell the truth." β
Wu Chenghe Khan, although he is quite good-looking, but he has always only aroused the love of Lori under the age of fifteen, such as Monica and the like, I am afraid that I can only gain maternal love from the age of fifteen, Miss Lancer looks about the same age as Marlowe, how can she be interested in him?
And his relationship with the Lancer family is really not very good, his existence first hurt Lilitz's feelings, and then in the Mayflower and Grasshopper space station incident, Lancer Star will lose face, in this case, people see that he is not pumping, it is already a good cultivation, and they have a good impression? Hehe......
In this world, I'm afraid that only Jin Xuan, who has a long aesthetic crack, will take him as a treasure.
"Would you like some juice?" Wu Chenghe didn't want to directly refuse people's good intentions, and tried to change the topic, "The muffin cake here is also delicious, do you want me to get some for you?" β
"Who wants to eat that kind of thing, people are losing weight." Unexpectedly, Xiao Lori was not fooled at all, and grabbed his sleeve directly, "What do you mean?" I was kind enough to pass the word on behalf of my little aunt, you are so faceless, do you know that it is very despicable to refuse a lady? Or have you always held a grudge against our family because of the Grasshopper space station? β
actually rose to such a height, Lori is really a big killer...... Wu Chenghe raised his forehead: "No, the terrorist attack was done by the Free Revolutionary Army, General Lancer was just a momentary negligence, and later cooperated with the commander to eliminate them, I have great respect and gratitude for him." β
"Then why don't you even want to ask my little aunt to dance?"
Wu Chenghe was grabbed by the little Lori relentlessly, surrounded by guests, and it was impossible to throw her away, so he had to sigh and say, "Okay, you let go, I'll invite her." "It's better to settle the dispute, it's just a dance, at most his posture is a little lower, anyway, he's a man.
Little Lori's goal was achieved, she smiled, and let go: "It's pretty much the same, remember to be a gentleman." β
Wu Chenghe smiled bitterly, walked through the small half of the hall under her guidance, walked to Miss Lanser, bowed politely, and said, "Hello, Miss Lanser." β
Miss Lancer sat in a European-style high-backed chair, looked up at him indifferently, and immediately recognized who he wasβthe superfluous who grieved her proud sister, the annoyant who had her father reprimanded by the President, and the eye-catching guy who surrounded King like a fly......
How could he enjoy the gentle eyes of God King, and why could he let him bring him juice and cakes?
It's just a broken house that shouldn't exist!
"IβCan I ask you to do the first dance?" Wu Chenghe felt that the resentment on her body was inexplicably great, and she remembered the gaze that pierced her back, and began to suspect that there was something wrong with this matter, but she still smiled gently and made an invitation, no matter what, he is a man, and he must maintain his demeanor.
"Please let me dance?" A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Miss Lanser's mouth, "So, what should I call you?" Mr. Simpson or Mr. Witch? Or...... What was your father's last name? β
Wu Chenghe glanced at Lori who was smiling at the corner of his mouth not far away, and completely understood that he was being tricked, because Miss Lanser's voice was not small, and there were already many guests around him looking at him, with a gossipy look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to dance with someone from an unknown source." Miss Lancer raised her chin proudly, turned her head to look at him with disdain, and the corner of her eyes swept over Jin Xuan, who was being talked to by Hober not far away, and her tone was slightly sour, "I'd rather sit alone for a while, clean." β
The atmosphere was quite awkward, even a person like Wu Chenghe who could see it felt that his face was a little swollen, and the surrounding spectators had already begun to whisper:
"Who's that?"
"The Commander's adopted son."
"Oh, I've never seen it before, is it a war orphan?"
"No, I heard that it was biological, an ex-girlfriend, an accident."
"Hah! What are you kidding, this kind of accident can happen in this year? I'm afraid it's premeditated......"
"Shh......h The commander valued him very much, and a while ago he condemned the Lancer Star General for his affairs. β
"Liliz is so miserable, for such a person, Hao's family is scattered, and it is unpleasant to have trouble with her mother's family."
"He dared to harass Miss Lanther, it was really self-defeating."
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Chenghyuk's thinking cloud was already quite powerful, and even if they lowered their voices and complained in the farthest corner, they could feel it clearly. Originally, he was just going to install a wallflower, but now he has become the focus, he can only sigh in his heart, as an adult man, he has no sensitivity to the little girl's small wrist at all, and he was tricked in a daze.
Fortunately, it was really nothing for him to lose this person, it was nothing more than being seen as a reckless teenager who was not able to do anything, so he smiled freely and said, "Sorry to disturb." Glance at little Lori and give her a meaningful look.
Little Lori didn't expect him to swallow his breath so much, and he was expecting to watch a good show, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, as a little princess who was raised by the Second Army, she didn't feel that she had done anything too much - teasing a broken house under the fence was no different from teasing a street performer, so let's have fun, who let him always surround the King God (fog), making the little aunt so faceless!
"What's wrong?" Hannibal saw many people looking this way and walked over. Wu Chenghe was already planning to leave, and said, "It's nothing. A little misunderstanding. β
Hannibal extended his hearing, and soon heard the voices of the people around him, his face couldn't help but sink, and he looked at his sister-in-law with a cold and arrogant face, and said, "Since Miss Lancer is not feeling well, let her rest for a while." It just so happens that an uncle wants to introduce you to him, and his daughter is one level lower than you, and he wants to ask you about the joint entrance examination. β
Miss Lancer looked at her brother-in-law in surprise, she didn't expect him to defend a child born out of wedlock in such a way that he blatantly put an "uncomfortable" big hat on himself. Stood up angrily: "Commander......"
"Little sister." Liliz arrived just in time, grabbed her sister's arm, and pinched her wrist lightly, "I want to go to the dressing room, can you come with me?" β
ββ¦β¦ All right. Miss Lancer blushed, and did not refuse her sister's invitation, and walked with her to the dressing room.
"Sister, you're too virtuous, aren't you? How dare the commander ...... you like this" As soon as she entered the dressing room door, Miss Blue slammed her handbag onto the sofa.
Liliz frowned and said, "He's very good to me!" Little sister, what are you doing, today is a drinking party organized by the Secretary of State, do you have to make a fuss here and let the president's people see the jokes? β
"What's making trouble, who's making trouble? Who is cheeky to harass me?! Miss Lancer stomped her foot, "Sister, you actually helped that wild ......"
"Watch your demeanor, little sister." Liliz whispered but sternly, "He is the son of the Commander, and it was our mutual decision to adopt him, you are not a child anymore, you should understand that it will be very detrimental to me and the Commander to let him wander outside!" β
"Afraid of what? Big deal ...... him," Miss Lancer gritted her teeth and didn't say the rest.
"You are really spoiled by your father, we are a society governed by the rule of law, when will you put away the set of the Emperor of the Earth for me?" Liliz said solemnly, "I said a long time ago, don't pay attention to him, just save face, why do you always don't listen to me?" Dad has repeatedly targeted him, and the two of you are making trouble for him in public, what is the difference between this and handing the handle into the hands of someone else? Haven't I suffered so many grievances in vain? β
"Sister!" Miss Lancer said angrily, "You are really carried away by love, do you think that the commander adopted him only because he pitied him?" β
"What do you mean?" Liliz looked at her alarmedly, "What did Daddy tell you?" β
"No, there isn't." Miss Lancer whispered, "IβI only heard a word or two while he was talking to his eldest brother. β
"What?" After the Mayflower and Grasshopper space station, Liliz also became suspicious of her father's motives, and nervously asked, "Are they hiding something from me?" β
"IβI don't know what to do." Miss Lanser's eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth for a long time, and said, "I just heard from them that I can't leave him behind, and there seems to be something wrong with his mother's family, the Wu family." Sister, you know that the Chinese of Lu Dao have always been mysterious, and God knows what secrets he has. I'm not trying to drive a wedge between you and the commander, and you can't trust a man too much, after all, you're not a guide, and you can't understand what he really thinks in his heart. β
Liliz sat on the couch with a pained look on her face, her slender fingers in her pretty curls, and muttered, "What can I do, I'm not a guide, but I love him so much......"
"Sister." Miss Lancer half-knelt at Lilitz's feet, held her knees, and said, "Don't you think the Commander is too nice and nervous to that child?" It was obviously that guy who came to harass me just now, and he also found him a step, saying that I was uncomfortable, hehe...... He wasn't so fond of Marlowe either, was he? β
"Don't talk nonsense, that kid won't harass you, I know him very well, he is a very responsible person, and it was the two of you who were playing tricks on him just now." Liliz defended her husband weakly, "Hannibal has seen through your little tricks, and you are hurting the face of the commander by teasing him on such an occasion, and Hobart is also there......"
"Sister, don't lie to yourself." Miss Lancer had a flame of jealousy burning in her heart, why, why did one or two protect that nasty fellow, the King God, and so did the Commander!
She shook her sister's cold hand and said, "You are the pride of the Lancer family, the youngest female captain of the Voyage Force, use your wisdom to look at your man, don't be blinded by his rhetoric, maybe he still has feelings for that dead woman, maybe there are other reasons." You are not a guide, you are destined to have no complete control over your husband, and if you want to protect your home and protect Marlowe, you must snuff out all possible accidents in the cradle. β
"What do you mean?" Liliz looked at her sister, "I warn you, stop doing this childish prank, and Daddy, you'd better try to disrupt that kid again." The same negligence commander will not make a second mistake, and next time he will not let it go so lightly, he hates that others will calculate him and challenge his authority. β
"I know it." Miss Lancer whispered, "Why don't you send him to the Federation if you can't get rid of that superfluous fellow?" Keep him far away, and the commander can't see him, and he won't have time to remember his mother. When he graduates from college, goes to a master's degree, or goes to a doctorate, it will take at least five or six years, and then maybe he will stay in the federation and not come back, and the commander will be in the Expeditionary Army, and he can't control him so much. β
"You mean the bill?" Liliz frowned, "Do you think I haven't thought about it?" The commander told me a long time ago that he wanted Marlowe to go, Marlowe is our rightful eldest son, and he wanted Marlowe to go to the Federation to meet friends and establish a network. And Marlowe himself wants to go to Aston University, he can't look down on the military school here in the Voyage Army, so the kid is stubborn. β
"Are you stupid, sister?" Miss Lancer said, "Do you think the President really wants to benefit the descendants of the Voyagers?" It's not that they're being held hostage! With so many descendants of high-ranking officials in captivity in the capital of Dunkel, who would dare to act rashly? Moreover, the commander is now so powerful, how many people are jealous of him, eager to let him fall and let him die, and there are so many opposition organizations. Didn't you send Marlow to the capital of Dunkel to give them a live target? Why don't you let that broken settlement go to the mines? It will keep him away from your family, and if something happens, it will not affect your relationship with the commander, and you can join him in condemning the opposition. β
Also a descendant of the Lancer family, Liliz is naturally more mature in terms of strategy than her sister, but it is only because she loves her husband deeply and always considers his feelings that she has always suffered from gains and losses. Hearing her sister's words, she twisted her fingers tangledly, and the balance in her heart began to tilt a little. After a long time, she patted her sister's hand: "Okay, don't think about it so much, this is my family matter, and I will handle it carefully." β
Miss Lanser looked at her sister's deep eyes, knowing that she had accepted her suggestion, and the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc: "Okay, do you want to touch up your makeup?" The ball is about to begin, and you and the commander should do the first dance. β
"Oh, yes." Liliz looked at the time, stood up and touched up in front of the mirror. Miss Lancer clenched her fists, her chin raised slightly, she didn't know if she was out of the maintenance of the Lancer family, or out of anger at not being favored by the King, but she only knew that she would be happy to let that pesky guy be unlucky.
That's it!
In the reception hall, Wu Chenghe followed Hannibal to a corner and said, "I'm sorry." β
"Why do you apologize to me?" Hannibal raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked. Wu Chenghe touched his chin and said, "Being rejected by Aunt Liliz's sister is that I am too abrupt and make you very embarrassed." β
"Why do you think that?" Hannibal couldn't help but rub the back of his neck and said, "She refused your invitation, because she didn't have the grace." A man should have taken the initiative, and if he wanted to dance with whomever he wanted, he invited her, and it didn't matter if he failed, haven't you been rejected by the girl you like? β
ββ¦β¦ No. Wu Chenghe was a little embarrassed, "Because I haven't confessed at all." β
"Oh, then your life is incomplete." A warm smile welled in Hannibal's eyes, "Now that it's finally the first time, you'll be much more skilled if you're rejected in the future." β
ββ¦β¦ Are you cursing me? Wu Chenghe knew that he wanted to eliminate his embarrassment, and he was very grateful in his heart, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to be a single for the rest of my life and no one will love me?" β
"Well, how could it be, I will always love you." Hannibal said half-truthfully, "No one really wants to accept you, I can raise you for the rest of my life, anyway, you eat very little, you don't pay much attention to your clothes, you don't spend much money at all, it's much easier than raising Marlowe." β
"You're really cursing me, aren't you?" Wu Chenghe pretended to collapse his face and said, "Didn't you want to introduce me to a girlfriend just now?" Did I hear me wrong? β
"You heard me wrong, I just introduced a schoolgirl to you, but I didn't plan to let her be my daughter-in-law." Hannibal said, "The joint examination will be taken soon, you better review my homework well, the medical school of the First Army is not easy to take the exam, and your mock test score is too dangerous." β
"Hmm, they sent you a transcript? Is it really no fun? I still want to go to Aston University Medical School. Wu Chenghe was a little embarrassed, after all, he was also a high-achieving student in his previous life, and he couldn't even cope with the joint entrance examination in this life, which is really embarrassing.
"You want to go to the capital of Dunkel to study?" Hannibal's eyes changed, "I've never heard you mention it." β
"It's what the teacher said, Aston University Medical School is the best medical university in the Federation, and it is the highest dream of people who are interested in studying medicine."
"I suggest you stay in the First Army." Hannibal said simply and directly, "You have encountered too many accidents in the past six months, I don't worry about letting you leave my side, I can at least ensure your safety in the Gabriel military port, it is difficult to say when you arrive in the capital of Dunkel, to be honest, my popularity over there is not very good, you may be implicated." β
"Really?" Wu Chenghe is actually a little worried, because Aston University is the number one university in the federal rankings, and there are a large number of elites in it, more than half of whom are supernatural. He is about to become an adult, and how to hide his identity in such a high density of supernatural beings is a difficult problem. Moreover, the guide school is on the planet Ida Ida, the companion planet of Dunkel, and he naturally has a sense of fear of that place and does not want to go too far.
"You've got a lot of time to think about it, and I'll help you gather the news." Hannibal didn't force him to make a choice right away, and shook his shoulder dotingly, "The first dance is about to start, I'm going to dance with Liliz and introduce you to the schoolgirl later." β
"Don't mention this." Wu Chenghe said, "I don't want to know girls now, you can go and get busy." β
"You can dance with Chen Miaomiao, you stand together very well." Before leaving, Hannibal laughed and quipped him, "With him as a reference, you look manly." β
"......" Is there such a father who damages his son? Wu Chenghe rolled his eyes helplessly.
