Chapter 30: An Inexplicable Invitation
Chapter 30 of the Battle Song of the Angels is an inexplicable invitation
I think it's a pity, because I had vaguely guessed what Wicker thought of Luna a week ago. The actions of Wicker that she said during that conversation with Meiling could have clearly shown that Wicker had a crush on Luna to someone with an experienced relationship, but unfortunately I didn't notice it.
Forget it, forget it, let the children's affairs be solved by themselves.
Alas, alas, how does this tone sound so old-fashioned? No wonder Meiling recently said that I am becoming more and more like an uncle.
My character is the most afraid of trouble, just think for a while and put this matter aside, how Luna chooses is her freedom, I was born under the red flag, grew up in the new generation of party members in New China, "fingers for marriage" This kind of feudal residual poison will never be done.
But why does this sound so sour?
"Hey, hey, brother-in-law, what are you thinking? My sister has called you three times. Meiling waved her hand in front of me dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something." I came back to my senses and said.
"You're still struggling with what you just did." Meiling looked helpless at the beginning, and spread her hands and said: "Don't worry, my sister is not such a person who can change her mind easily, let alone a mere Wicker, the person she has rejected for you in the past few years is enough to have an integrated flight formation." ”
"Meiling, what the hell are you talking about?" Luna angrily grabs her.
"Sister, I'm telling the truth." Meiling made a look of grievance.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson......"
"Hey, hey, you're really getting farther and farther away." I interrupted their rambling with a wry smile: "I'm just worried about Wicker and I don't know how hard he's been hit." ”
"Don't worry, Wicker has a mature personality, and he should figure it out soon." Luna whispered to me as she let go of Meiling.
"I hope so." I said something irresponsibly, and then silently attacked the food in front of me.
Twenty minutes later.
"I'm full, so you can enjoy the rare space for two." Meiling withdrew the empty plate, and then walked away briskly, leaving Luna and I smiling wryly, relatively silent for a while.
At this moment, a deep voice next to me asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Leonard?" ”
I looked at where the voice came from, and saw a middle-aged man in a black suit with a serious face standing respectfully beside him, his slightly arched body just right to show politeness but not lose kitsch.
This man is supposed to be a butler or something, and I came to this conclusion at the first sight of him. Because this temperament is so easy to recognize, when I was studying at the Luftwaffe Academy, there were a few British classmates who were said to be from large families, and they used to hold several class reunions, and those butlers were all like this.
I nodded lightly and replied, "I am, sir, do you have anything to do?" ”
"My master would like to invite Mr. Leonard to lunch." The middle-aged man said with an unchanged expression.
"Oh? Who is your host? ”
"It's Mr. Reuben, who met you at the banquet last week."
It's finally here, and I let out a long sigh in my heart. I've expected this moment since I last met the maverick old man at Nichol's birthday party, and I'm sure he'll send someone to verify my identity anyway, and now it's time to give a formal invitation, whether he acknowledges my identity or not, at least the time has come for an explanation.
"Okay, I'll go with you." I stood up and called the waiter to settle the bill, then said to Luna, "I'm going on a date, I'll be back in the evening, and I'll be sorry for me." ”
Luna probably saw my complicated look at me for a moment, looked at me firmly, and then said to the middle-aged man, "I'm Leonard's fiancée, if the gentleman who invited him doesn't mind, I wonder if I can go with him?" ”
"This ......" the middle-aged man looked embarrassed.
"Alright, Luna, it's my own business, you better go back to Meiling."
"Leonard; von •; Findtrad. Luna looked at me with an unusually serious expression, the light in her eyes was as firm as substance, and she said word by word: "No matter what you think of me, but the fact that I am your fiancée was decided six years ago, no matter what danger you have, I have an obligation to bear it with you, you don't want to leave me aside and bear everything alone." ”
This misunderstanding is too big. I scratched my head helplessly, and Luna probably saw a hint of hesitation in my expression, but she misunderstood the meaning and instead thought that I was going on a potentially dangerous date, which is why she said this.
But what does it matter? Whether it was misunderstood or not, the firm and serious expression and eyes of the girl in front of me when she said those words could not be faked, and the heroic and sassy spirit made my heart fluctuate violently.
By saying this without hesitation, Luna's concern for me was unmistakable. I used to think that the relationship between the two of us was just symbolic, but now I suddenly felt that there was an indescribable understanding between me and Luna.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt good, and stood up with a long laugh: "Hahahaha, well, since Luna you have this guts, what else do I have to hesitate about?" Let's go, let's go, it's too late, Mr. Ruben will have to wait. The last sentence was addressed to the butler.
Rao is a housekeeper is used to seeing all kinds of characters on weekdays, and he has never seen a person who talks so strangely like me, and his face that has been straight can't help but show a hint of surprise. Of course, it is impossible for him to know the complicated relationship between me and the old man, so in his eyes, I am probably just a person with a somewhat eccentric personality.
"Really, you always speak indistinctly, you are so strange today." Luna, by contrast, didn't have as many concerns as the butler, and asked me directly.
"Really? Probably because I'm in a good mood. I smiled and walked out of the store, leaving Luna full of doubts.
