Alex turned around and smiled, "You're here?" ”

Minna walked over and tugged at the corner of his robe, "What the hell is going on?" What are you packing for? ”

Alex laughed, "You mean those two boxes?" It was just sent by my housekeeper, saying that he was afraid that my life here would not be as comfortable as at home, so he specially sent some household items."

"Huh?" Minna was a little surprised, walked over and opened the box, and sure enough, there were dishes and tableware, drinks and tea sets, as well as paper, pen and paper, books, and even a few sets of dressing gowns and loafers, "Does your family know that you are here?" They didn't persuade you to go back? "Looking at this posture, it seems that he intends to let him settle outside for a long time

"Soon after I bought the Green House, they knew that my brother and sister were not against me moving out, and as for my father," Alex smiled self-deprecatingly, "even if I was originally eliminated from home, I probably think it's better not to be at home now, right?" At least no one will get in the way of his wedding."

"Wedding?" Minna looked back at him in surprise, "Is it already decided?" ”

"It was confirmed yesterday, and the housekeeper informed me by the way just now, and the date is at the end of May."

"So fast?!" Minna was a little incredulous, the wedding of the nobles usually has to be prepared for several months, if it is from the royal family, it is possible that although Alex's father is remarried, this time is too hasty, right?

Alex had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Originally, he was already a little shaken, but recently the second prince has been in a good situation, so he is anxious again In order to ensure that he can attend the king's birthday celebration as a relative of the queen, so as to become his uncle before the second prince officially takes over as the crown prince, he would rather be hasty, but also hold the wedding as soon as possible, my father... Always so naïve."

Minna was anxious: "What should I do then?" Didn't you say there was a way to stop this? With less than a month left, what the hell are we supposed to do? ”

Alex looked up at Minna, his eyes gentle, "You care about this?" Why? Is it because of me? ”

"What are you talking about?!" Minna was so anxious that she pushed him: "Of course I care about your affairs, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother to care if your father remarried, and who it was!" Say it! ”

Alex suddenly laughed, and was beaten a few times by Minna before begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, don't fight, I know you care about me," he grabbed her hand and said: "I do have a way to stop this wedding, but to be honest, I am very hesitant, although this method is beneficial to our family, but it is difficult to say whether it will have a bad impact on the country, I don't want to harm the interests of the country, but I just received a letter from the land, and the news brought by the housekeeper prompted me to make up my mind."

Minna looked serious: "What is the solution?" Why is it harming national interests? Alex, don't do anything bad! Thinking that he had just received a letter, she turned her head to look at the letter on the table and reached for it

But Alex took a step ahead of her and put the letter into the storage bracer, which made Minna a little angry: "Don't you trust me? Don't want me to know the contents of the letter? ”

Alex sighed and held Minna's hand tightly, and said, "If I can, I really don't know that I don't trust you, but that once you know the truth, it means that you will be held responsible, and I don't know if this method will succeed, in case I fail or get into trouble because of it, at least I won't be blamed for not reporting it because you knew it in advance."

The more Minna listened, the more frightened she became: "Alex, you can't do anything dangerous, do you?" Don't! ”

Alex's gaze became more and more gentle: "No, things are not dangerous, but if the timing is not right, it may anger some noble people, you have contact with the Security Department now, and you want to be good with me, I am afraid that when the time comes, they will blame you, if you don't know from beginning to end, you don't need to bear the responsibility."

Minna stared into his eyes and spit out a sentence for a long time: "You really can't say it?" ”

Alex shook his head: "I'm sorry" paused, and added: "Actually, it's our family's internal affairs, and it has nothing to do with national security, and I won't let you be caught in the middle."

Minna lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Okay then" Although she was worried, she still trusted Alex's character, although he said that it might harm the interests of the country, but since it was an internal matter of the Mandheling family, it was probably just to protect one or two family members from state punishment or something, right?

Alex breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you for trusting me, but... There's one thing I have to apologize to you."

Minna squinted at him, "What?" ”

"I'm going on a long trip and I'll leave tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the May Festival with you."

Minna opened her mouth wide: "What did you say?!" Where exactly are you going? How long is it going to go? ”

Alex pursed his lips: "I'll be back before the wedding"

Minna pouted dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to ask you to be my Mayday dance partner!" Winnie, they made me a new dress based on your blue dress, and you were leaving..."

Alex folded: "May Day dance partner? ”

"Of course, if I'm going to a ball on May, who else will you be looking for?"

Alex suddenly laughed, laughing happily, laughing uncomfortably: "What are you laughing at?" ”

He didn't answer, just hugged Minna gently, she stiffened, trying to break free, but he hugged her tighter and tighter

She stammered a little and asked, "What are you doing here?" "It's strange why her heart suddenly beats faster? And your face is still hot? Is she sick?

Alex let go of her, but took her hand again: "Minna, I'm happy"

"Happy what?!" Minna broke away from his hand and took a few steps back, "You're so weird today!" She still felt that her face was hot, and she noticed that the other party's eyes had been fixed on her, and the heat gradually increased, and her heart beat faster than before

She thought she was really sick

"Minna, I'm not surprised, it's just that you don't understand yet" Alex didn't look away, "In the days I've been away, you're thinking a little more, okay?" Thinking about what will happen between you and me, I am working hard, and you can work with me, at least, to figure out your own mind."

Minna didn't know how she got back to the Rose Garden, and she didn't know how she ate and bathed, and then went to bed, she only felt that her mind was messing around, one moment was Alex's gaze asking her to think about the relationship between the two, one moment was the heat in his hand when he hugged her, and one moment was the seriousness when he accompanied her to study the ancient magic recipe, one

When fighting against Warcraft, you fight back-to-back with yourself... She couldn't help but overhead it, in the darkness, she seemed to faintly sense something, and the heat continued to the root of her ears, and it lasted for a long time

When she got up the next day, she had thick dark circles on her face, which startled Winnie, and she was busy looking for something to put on her eyes, she didn't care about it, so she hurriedly freshened up and changed her clothes, stuffed a piece of bread into it, and ran to the green house to find Alex

There was silence in the room, except for a note and a bunch of keys left by the master on the table, which said that he had made an appointment with someone else to set out with him, and that it was still early, so he would not go to say goodbye to her and ask her for forgiveness

Minna picked up the note and twisted it a few times, but reluctantly flattened it, put it away, and scolded in a low voice: "Bastard! I don't forgive! When you come back, I must settle accounts with you! ”

After venting, she looked up and looked around, and she suddenly felt a trace of loneliness in her heart

~~~~======~~~~========

Minna was always concerned about Manda, so seeing that the time was almost up, she rode to the Kado mansion, and when she got there, she found that Bao Wei... The Chelsea siblings have arrived

Hubert was still handsome and dashing, and more aristocratic than when he was a teenager, he looked at Minna for a moment, then got up and smiled and reached out to twist her fingers, and bowed to her: "Fortunately, Miss Minna, I really didn't expect that the little girl who used to go through the storm together has grown into such a charming lady today, I almost can't take my eyes off" He glanced back at his sister with some complaint: "Bianca, why didn't you mention it to me after you went back last night?" ”

Bianka glanced at him with disgust: "On the big night, there are so many people, where can I recognize them?" Besides, isn't it even more surprising to find out now? ”

"Indeed, very pleasantly surprised," Hubert turned back and smiled at Minna

Minna curtsy with a dry smile, then quickly retracted her hand and sat down next to Beryl, who glanced at her, raised her glass and took a sip of milk tea, but did not make a sound

Hubert, on the other hand, had already described the situation on the ship with great emotion, and Bianca added two words from time to time, and Elon listened with great interest, occasionally asking a few small questions, and at last he remembered his father with great emotion, and deeply regretted that he had never had the experience of traveling with his father, and his eyes glanced in the direction of Bianca many times when he said these words

Bianca is wearing a beige dress today, with a popular wide square neckline, revealing a slender collarbone and snow-white skin, and the big wavy curls of golden se are draped over her shoulders, reflecting the beautiful eyes of sea blue se, and a smile at the corner of her lips, she almost does not wear any jewelry, only a somewhat ancient sapphire brooch is casually pinned to the collar, which just matches her eyes, and a slender ankle bone is exposed under the skirt, lined with champagne se's satin shoes, which looks even smaller

Elon looked at those feet frequently, and was reminded by the eldest son several times before he took his attention away: "Did you say that you just got a seat in the noble council this year?" That's amazing! You should be the youngest, right? ”

Hubert smiled triumphantly: "Yes, I have heard from several senior councillors but it doesn't make much sense, no matter how young people are, there will be a day when they will get old, and I am concerned about what changes this seat will bring to my family"

"But it's really remarkable," Elon lowered his voice slightly, "and I've heard that your comptoir has just opened its eighteenth branch in the West Side, and your Chelsea family's jewelry stores are already all over the country, and there are three in Ito alone!" It is amazing that a young noble son like you can have such an achievement."

Hubert shrugged: "It's nothing, my people are quite capable, I usually only need to decide the general direction, and they will take care of the rest"

"It's also amazing to be able to discover the talents of your subordinates."

"Just give them a chance," Hubert smiled at Elon, "I don't appreciate Brother Jones, it would be great if you would be willing to cut your love."

"Hahaha," Elon laughed

Minna looked at the two men laughing at each other and felt a little bored, so she whispered to Beryl, "Where's Manda?" Didn't you say you wanted to talk about her yesterday? ”

Beryl glanced at her, and just said "still upstairs" and shut up

Elon then asked about the marriage of the Hubert siblings: "There must be many admirers of a young man as good as you, right?" Engaged? Reveal it, right? If you don't have a final decision, I'll be happy to introduce you."

Bianca smiled and didn't speak, but Hubert said: "That's great, Gutenberg doesn't seem to have a suitable partner, it would be great if we could find someone in Ito, you probably don't know, I often worry about my future wife, love seems to be far away from me"

Minna, who was drinking tea, choked a little and hurriedly put the teacup down and sat down

Elon didn't notice her situation: "How so? You should be very popular, right? ”

Hubert sighed: "Probably because I was too demanding of my future wife, right?" I eliminate Bowie... The Chelsea malady was a strong and intelligent woman, and I was not a good lady of the ordinary aristocracy, and I myself had a very beautiful wife, so I have not yet found a suitable person."

"Oh?" Elon raised an eyebrow and glanced at the eldest daughter quickly, alerting the latter

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the living room door, and Lilith helped the maid in, followed by Manda, who was still a little pale

Minna hurriedly got up to meet her and helped Manda: "Are you alright?" Is it better? Manda smiled reluctantly: "Much better, thank you"

Elon beckoned them to sit down, and said to his wife, "Why didn't you come down just now?" Mr. Hubert and Miss Bianca talked a lot with us, and it turned out that our two families had been together ten years ago, nay, maybe decades ago! ”

Lilith smiled in response, and turned to Bianca, "I've asked Manda, but she's in too much pain to tell, what is going on?" Why did the queen say... Do you want us Manda to go to the Van Aecstach to be a saint? Isn't that going to hurt my daughter?! Why should she... Why do you say such a thing?! ”

(It's started again...) The plot of one ring after another, it's really painful... Please vote for me a few more little pinks, please note that it's a pink ticket~~~)
