Chapter 16: The Dinner Party

She looked out the window and saw the car heading for the mountain in front of her.

"Aren't we going to the city?" She looked at King.

"Jacques' home is in the mountains." "The mountain ahead is his private domain. ”

"Living in the mountains is really a bit of a hermit." Xian Yan said.

"You want to live in the mountains, too?" King saw Xianxian's envious eyes, "Why don't we move to the mountains when we go back?" ”

"No, although I envy this kind of life in my heart, I can't live this kind of life." "I'm not suitable to be a hermit, I prefer a lively place to a quiet environment." ”

King asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"There is a feeling of being alive." "This feeling is more likely to be felt in the more lively the environment. ”

The van arrived at the foot of the mountain and finally stopped. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a trail leading to the top of the mountain.

"Are we going to climb up?" Burn had a headache.

"The residence is on the mountainside, and it is estimated that there is half an hour of mountain road." King said.

"You come here for a meeting every time?" She looked up and looked at the top of the mountain in grief.

"Well, the Hidden District holds a summit here every time." King said.

"I can't climb a mountain in high heels." She looked down at the shoes on her feet.

King crouched down, took off her heels and handed them to the officers beside him.

"I'll carry you up."

Leaning on King's back, he could feel the sense of solidity brought by his wide back. Xianxian closed his eyes and put his hands naturally on his shoulders. King is her only reliance in this world.

"King, do you need our help?" The officer on the side stepped forward to ask.

"No, I'll do it myself." King replied calmly and indifferently.

"King, thank you." She lay on his back and whispered.

"We don't have to be so polite to each other, we are family, a family that will never be separated." The corners of King's mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle expression. The officer on the side was stunned, and King's smile seemed to be different from before.

Xianxian was a little annoyed, and she seemed to feel a little more unhappy in her heart every time she heard King mention his family. Why does it feel this way? Shouldn't she be happy? Why don't you feel happy at all?

She secretly made up her mind that she must sort out her relationship with King and find out what she wanted most.

"We're almost there." Carrying her up the hill from the foot of the mountain, King's breathing rhythm was not affected in the slightest, and then looking at the officers beside him, all of them were the same.

"Tired? Let me down. "Burnt has seen the house.

"Don't be tired, you should supplement more nutrition and exercise more." King said.

Not far away, several rooms near the gate are already occupied. The men were secretly observing the man on King's back.

When King came to the gate with the Flame on his back, he met Jacques and his butlers.

Behind King, she quietly looked at the owner standing at the front of the door.

The man was tall, his loose shirt was naturally exposed, and his eight-pack abs were in full view. Although his appearance is not as stunning as King's, he has another kind of handsomeness, giving people the impression of being resolute and down-to-earth.

Xianxian couldn't help but sigh, it is not surprising that such a person has ten wives in 100 years. On average, I change wives about once every ten years. However, if he were human, he would definitely be gossiped about.

Philosophers probably think deeply about problems, and do everything at will. If you love, you will stay together, and if you don't love, you will let go. It's better than torturing each other and living a lifetime.

"King, long time no see." Jacques smiled in a friendly manner and glanced at the man on King's back. "This is Miss Nancy on you, right?"

King put her down and whispered to the people behind him, "Little Burn, he's Jacques." ”

Xianxian had already guessed who he was just now. "Hello, FΓΌhrer. I'm Nancy. ”

"Miss Nancy, you can call me by my name." Jacques smiled softly and looked at the person in front of him, "I heard that King found you in the Hidden Zone?" ”

Xianxian was a little scared, she was worried that if the topic continued, the lie would be a goof.

"When I found her, she was dying and couldn't remember a lot of things." King calmly cleared the siege, "So, it's better not to talk about her past." ”

Jacques glanced at him again and decided not to delve any further. "You two, I still have something to do with you for a while, and William will arrange a room for you. Miss Nancy, we'll see you at dinner. ”

Seeing him gone, Xian Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

King took Burn's hand and comforted, "If you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, just keep silent." Everything is still here. ”

Xianxian nodded, still a little flustered in her heart, she always felt as if she was being stared at. But when she looked around, she didn't find anyone but trees and houses.

They followed the butler to the room.

"It's a two-person suite, Miss Nancy and King can stay here, and there are other suites next door, and the officers can stay there." William said, "Dinner is in the dinner hall, and it's expected to be at 6 o'clock. ”

After explaining clearly, William led several officers to the next suite.

"King, Jacques's home, why is the layout so much like a hotel?" She was a little curious.

"Didn't he have ten wives?" King smiled and said, "All ten of them live here, including the children and grandchildren of the ten wives. So the house layout here has a lot of suites. ”

Xianxian was surprised, "Ten wives live together?" Won't it make a fuss? ”

King smiled again, "If you want to stay here, you won't make a fuss." As long as the ten wives remain here, their children and grandchildren will have the right to inherit. ”

"That's cruel, isn't it?" Xian Xian frowned.

King thought for a moment and said, "It's about worship. Jacques' wives were proud of having married him, and if they remarried after a divorce, they would spoil that glory. ”

"I still can't understand that." Shan Yan sighed.

"Then don't think about it so much." King smiled and stroked her head.

"King, there are many candidates for the successor of the head of the Hidden District, what about the dynasty?" It suddenly occurred to King that King had been single for the past 100 years.

"Even if I'm gone, the dynasty will function normally, and the people will naturally choose the most suitable candidate." King said calmly.

"Don't you have a crush on this position?" Xianxian asked suddenly.

King laughs, "I never loved power and money. ”

Sure enough, it was the same as she thought. "And what if a human being becomes the ruler of a dynasty? Will you stop it? ”

"If that human was you, I wouldn't stop it." King smiled and stared at the man in front of him.

"What if it's anyone else?" Xianxian continued to ask.

"It depends on the situation." King's expression suddenly became serious, "If that human was for revenge, I would definitely kill him." ”

Xian Xian was silent, she had to find a way to make Hu Xin let go of her hatred and start learning to trust the canines.

The dinner is ready and waiting for the guests to take their seats.

After changing into the evening dress that Jack had prepared, she took King's hand to the banquet.

"Nervous?" King asked softly.

"A little bit." She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Don't be afraid, I've got you covered." King reassured.

The moment the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, Xian Xian saw the six people sitting in the seats. They all looked at her with inquiring eyes.

King took Xian Xian's hand and sat down, calmly looking at the few heads of state in front of him.

The only female head of state, spoke first. "King, why don't you tell us about the women around you?"

She raised her eyes and glanced at her, and couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. With bright eyes and bright teeth, she has a pair of bright and moving big eyes, and the tear moles under the corners of her eyes add a bit of charm to her face. Even without makeup, her beauty is irreproducible.

Xianxian suddenly remembered what Lucy had said, and the big beauty in front of her was dazzled by King. She couldn't help but wonder why King wasn't with her. Do you hate beautiful people as much as Director Lu?

King's eyes didn't linger too much on the beauty in front of him who was talking, he turned to look at Xianxian with a gentle look in his eyes, "Everyone, this is my sister, Nancy. ”

A hint of displeasure was evident on the FΓΌhrer's face.

The other heads of state kept smiling at the time.

"Everyone, let's eat first, it's a pity if the food is cold." Jacques' words broke the silence at the dinner table.

At this moment, Xian Xian's heart is really helpless, she must be resented by the black girl. Obviously just occupies the title of my sister, there is no reason to be so hated, right?

The crowd finally started to move the dishes.

King gently sandwiches the duck into the pan and finally picks up the prawns from the plate, elegantly peels them and places the shrimp in the pan.

Everyone was stunned when they saw King's actions. Hei Mei's eyes were full of jealousy.

"King, I'll do it myself." She was a little embarrassed.

"King loves Miss Nancy very much." Jacques smiled and said, "I thought King didn't care about anything other than his master. ”

"Nancy is my sister, of course I will love her very much." King said without thinking.

"It's really just my sister?" Jacques smiled and asked, "Can we understand that you brought your sister here to discuss marriage?" ”

After everyone heard this, they once again cast their eyes on Xian Xian's body.

"I brought her here to show you that she is my human being, and no one can think of her." King looked at them seriously and said coldly, "You'd better not have any bad thoughts about her. ”

"I really didn't expect King to be a sister control." Hei Mei sneered.

"I have nothing to do with you, do I?" King's tone was cold.

Xian Xian's heart was extremely depressed, she just wanted to have a good meal, why was it so difficult?

"Everyone, let's eat the food in your own bowl." King said.

Next, the dinner table was finally a lot quieter. Everyone was focused on the food on their plates, and occasionally he peeked at the heads of state in front of him.

She noticed that the FΓΌhrers had a variety of eating movements. Jacques belongs to the bold school, and when he eats large pieces of meat, he directly bites them. And the black girl is like King, who eats more elegantly. Neo and Ryan directly forked a whole steak with a fork and put it in their mouths to bite. Cole's movements are relatively decent, and his knives and forks are average, like an ordinary person. And the milk eats very fast, and she has already eaten it before she has time to observe.

Xianxian looked at the dining table in front of him in surprise, it was miserable. He finally understood why King didn't worry that she didn't know etiquette. Because these people here don't care about that at all.

"You're going to have to eat more." King poured the sliced meat from his plate into a simmering bowl.

"I seem to have eaten enough." Xian Xian smiled embarrassedly, she felt that she was already full when she saw them eating like this, and she had no appetite at all.

King gestured to the waiter behind him, "Trouble for a dessert." ”

The waiter immediately turned away and went to the kitchen to get dessert.

King took the small cake from the waiter and placed it in front of the waiter, "If you can't eat, just eat this." ”

Xianxian looked at the mousse cake in front of him, and instantly had an appetite. "Then you're welcome."

King looked at her with satisfaction, his eyes full of pampering. He loved it like this, to be able to stay by her side quietly, and keep an eye on her little bits.

The dinner party was finally over, and if she could, she wouldn't want to have dinner with the group anymore. This kind of occasion really didn't suit her.

"Everyone, the meeting officially starts at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, please have a good rest tonight, and don't be late tomorrow." Jacques said solemnly.

As the group was about to leave, Cole suddenly approached King and Burn.

"King, are you going to the old place tonight?" Cole asked.

King shook his head and said, "I want to accompany Nancy tonight, she's a relative stranger to this place. ”

"Okay." Cole glanced at her, "Miss Nancy always gives people a different feeling, how can you describe it...... It's like not being a canine person. Well, that's what it feels like. ”

Flinch looked nervously at Cole, then at King, and saw that he still had a calm smile on his face.

"Miss Nancy is probably the one you've been looking for, right?" Cole squinted and began to look at him again, "I can't think of any other reason that would change you. ”

"Sure enough, among the six people, you know me best." King smiled brightly.

"You're really ......," Cole sighed helplessly.

"You should know that humans and canines are opposites, right?" Cole looked at the fire.

"I know." Xian Yan said.

"If Neo and the others find out your identity, I'm afraid it will cause a war." Cole advised, "You try to keep your contact with them as little as possible, so as not to show your stuff." ”

Xianxian glanced at him movingly, "Thank you, I'll try to avoid them." ”

"Do your best to avoid it, and never be alone." Cole warned again.
