The night was quiet and peaceful, but unlike the other nights of the month, which was almost dead silent, tonight's Falling Star Manor could hear the crisp sound of pots and pans hitting each other, and the explosion of dishes cooking and frying in the pot, in addition to the sound of insects that had never stopped since the beginning of summer.

Vivien, along with Liz and Linda, was carefully preparing dinner that was at least two hours late.

The reason why it was so late than usual was because Xu Yi had come back from the Falling Rain Valley very rarely.

Although he was going to attend a dinner party hosted by the lord of the city, he clearly informed Vivien and the others, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to eat too much at the dinner party, and he would come back here to fill his stomach.

So Vivian and the others simply postponed their dinner, estimating the time, and felt that the dinner party in the City Lord's Mansion should be almost over, so they really started to prepare dinner.

Although this Falling Star Manor was given to Xu Yi by President Cruise as a gift for his engagement to Steele, and Xu Yi and Steele also used it as their new residence after they got married, in fact, Xu Yi and Steele spent most of the night in the Falling Rain Valley for more than a month, and never returned to live here.

Since Vivien was still studying at Baron Rickato's Academy of Magic, it was inconvenient for her to travel 60 kilometers back and forth with Xu Yi to the Falling Rain Valley every day, so Xu Yi left her to live here, and left Lisi and Linda, the two female slaves brought back from the Duchy of Stantin, to accompany her.

The three of them have lived in the Falling Star Manor for more than a month, and they have long been accustomed to the qiē here, but they live very comfortably.

"Hey. Annis. Can you go outside and see if the host is coming back soon?" Vivien saw that all the dishes were almost finished. He shouted to Yanis, who was leaning against the door, forced by Vivien not to interfere in cooking.

Yanis turned her head to look at the darkness outside the door, and then looked back at the kitchen where she really couldn't help, hesitated, answered, and was about to turn her head to go out, but a pair of long pointed ears suddenly twitched, and a hint of joy appeared on her face: "The president has returned." Then he became puzzled again. "Strange. He doesn't seem to be alone. ”

"Is that the host has brought back a guest?" Vivien glanced at the obviously overly rich dishes in the kitchen, but was not alarmed, and asked, "Can you hear how many more people there are?"

The expression on Annis's face was even more puzzled: "I brought a guest here, and from the sound of footsteps, it seems that she is still a girl." ”

"Girl?" Vivien was a little strange now. "Sister Steele obviously accompanied Stasia and them to Anweimar City, what girls will the master bring back?"

"I don't know. Annis shook her head, thought for a moment, and guessed, "Maybe it's the new lover of the president?" I heard that this kind of thing seems to be normal for humans with more status. ”

"Perhaps......" Vivien hesitated. "But I don't think the master is such a person......"

After thinking for a while, Vivien shook her head vigorously: "Don't worry about it so much, even if it's the master's lover." That's a guest too. Liz, Linda. You stay and take care of the last few dishes, Janis, and we'll go out to meet the host. ”

When Vivien and Annis walked out of the gates of the manor, they saw two figures emerge from the darkness and fall into the light of two magic lamps hanging high outside the gates.

Vivian's gaze swept over Xu Yi, and landed on the Caroline County Lord beside him, and her eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and she exclaimed softly: "Wow, this girl is actually as beautiful as Sister Steele, is it really the master's lover?"

Annis glanced at Lord Kalinda, but looked puzzled, "Really, why do I think she is far less pure than Miss Steele, in the eyes of our elven race, this girl is not beautiful at all." The president's vision can't be so bad, right?"

Vivian looked at Yanis in surprise, not understanding why she would make such an evaluation of this suffocating girl next to Xu Yi who was as beautiful as Steele, and then thought that this should be because the aesthetics of the elves were different from those of humans after all, so she didn't argue and hurriedly greeted her.

"Master, you're back. Vivien smiled sweetly at Xu Yi.

"Hmm. Xu Yi nodded, looked at Yanis who was following behind, and asked a little strangely, "Yanis, why are you here today?

"Things on the Black Rice Wasteland have ended for the time being, so I'm back to report. Annis replied with a smile, and then nodded to Lord Caroline, "President, who is this Miss Human?"

Seeing that Vivian also showed curiosity, Xu Yi introduced to the two: "This is the Lord of Caroline from the Duchy of Dedraco, and she is here to discuss some cooperation with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Duchy of Delack. ”

Yanis nodded, there was no special reaction, Vivien couldn't help but bend her legs after hearing that this girl was actually a county lord, and wanted to make a big salute.

Xu Yi grabbed her, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Vivian, have I explained to you many times?"

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then her little face turned red, and she lowered her head and said softly: "I'm sorry, master, I forgot about it for a while." ”

Xu Yi shook his head and said to the somewhat inexplicable Caroline County Lord on the side: "Your Royal Highness, this elf girl is called Yanis, and she is the appearance designer of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Design Institute, and this human girl is called Vivian, who is also the appearance designer of our Chamber of Commerce. Most of the household magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce are designed by the two of them. ”

Lord Caroline looked at Annis and Vivien in surprise: "Oh my God, I've always wondered who designed the beautiful appearance of those magic machines, but I didn't expect that it was actually done by a beautiful elven lady and an equally beautiful and cute human girl, what a surprise to me!"

Annis didn't react in particular, but Vivien blushed and didn't say a word.

"Your Highness, the Lord of the County. You don't seem to be surprised to see the elves?Is it common to see elves in the Duchy of Drake?" Xu Yi asked.

"Nope. There have been no elves in our principality for hundreds of years. Lord Carolyn shook her head. "But I've known about those new magical machines since I saw them. I began to pay attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu, knowing that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a close connection with the elf clan, and there are even many elves employed in the chamber of commerce, so it is not surprising. Of course, it was the first time I had ever seen a real elf since I was a child, and I was actually pleasantly surprised. ”

"Really?" Xu Yi smiled, not paying much attention, and motioned for Lord Caroline to enter the manor.

By this time, Lisi and Linda had already prepared dinner. After seeing the sumptuous dinner at the table, Caroline County Lord offered to say that she didn't actually eat anything at the dinner party in the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to taste these sumptuous dishes.

Of course, Xu Yi couldn't refuse, so he sat down with Lord Caroline.

Because of the presence of the outsider Caroline, the atmosphere at the table was a little dull at first.

However, Lord Carolyn's communicative skills were apparently extremely skillful, and she easily set the mood at the table back to life by asking Vivien how she had come up with the appearance of those magical machines.

After a late dinner was eaten in a cheerful atmosphere, Xu Yi led Lord Caroline to choose a guest room, and then asked Lisi to lead her to the bath and change clothes.

While Lord Caroline was leaving. Vivian asked Xu Yi curiously, "Master, isn't this His Royal Highness the County Lord your lover?"

Xu Yizheng almost squirted out a sip of water when he was drinking, and looked at Vivian in shock and asked, "What lover? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Vivien was puzzled, "If it weren't for your lover." Why would she follow you back to your house alone?

"Don't talk about you, I'm still weird. Xu Yi waved his hand angrily.

After the previous conversation, the Lord of Caroline said to Xu Yi for a while before leaving, he didn't understand what he meant, but when he finished the conversation with Count Stark and was about to return to Falling Star Manor to rest, Lord Caroline appeared again accompanied by Count Stark, and then greatly surprised Xu Yi, expressing his desire to spend one night in Xu Yi's manor.

The reason she gave at the time hoped to take advantage of tonight to have a detailed discussion with Xu Yi about the cooperation between the two sides, and Xu Yi agreed without thinking too much.

But when Xu Yi found out that she actually followed her into the carriage alone, but Anduin didn't come at all, no matter how slow Xu Yi was about things between men and women, he knew that there was definitely something wrong with this.

But it was the first time he had met this Caroline Lord today, so why did she do this?

Xu Yi thought that he was not so powerful in his charm that he could make His Royal Highness the county lord who met for the first time fall in love with him to the point that he wanted to make a personal promise.

"And what about tonight?" Vivien was a little stunned. "If she's not your lover, I think Sister Steele would be upset to know that you're bringing her home. ”

Xu Yi was also stunned, and asked rhetorically: "You mean that if she is my lover, Steele will not be unhappy?"

"Yes, with your status as the master, it's strange that you don't have a lover. Vivien said as a matter of course: "Sister Steele told me last time that if you are looking for a lover, you must find those who are beautiful enough, otherwise she will feel very ashamed." This Royal Highness the Lord Caroline is very beautiful, and I think Sister Steele will be very satisfied. ”

"What a mess. Xu Yi shook his hand vigorously. "Steele is kidding you, if I really find a lover, believe it or not, Steele will hack me to death in minutes?"

"Sister Steele won't be so fierce, right?" Vivien patted her small breasts, which had gradually developed, and said with some fear, "I plan to wait until Sister Steele comes back and immediately tell her that tonight's events make her happy, but that's not the case." ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Alright, you just treat her like a normal guest. I'm going to Falling Rain Valley tonight anyway, and she won't be here for a few days. In the future, just try to have as little contact with her as possible, so as not to make Steele angry. Xu Yi thought for a moment, stood up and ordered: "I'll go to the study, don't let anyone disturb me." By the way, Yanise, come with me, I have something to explain to you. ”

Yanis answered and followed Xu Yi to the study.

Vivian behind her looked at Xu Yi's back, and then looked at the direction where Lord Carolyn was bathing, and the look on her little face was full of doubt. (To be continued......)
