Seeing a man come out of Ann's room, in an instant, Lugo's smile froze on his face, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a statue.

An Ye's face was complicated, and he sighed faintly, holding his forehead and not knowing what to say.

"Who is this? It's night, the light is very poor, I can't see people clearly, the man came over with a kerosene lamp, when he saw Lugo clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became sincere and frightened, "You... Are you Lord Lugo? ”

Lugo's face was now ugly, and his tone was very unfriendly: "Who are you?" ”

Ann couldn't hide it anymore, so she could only lean close to the man, and introduced Lugo with her chin head: "He's Vincent Houghton, my fiancé..."

Lugo only felt a thunderbolt in the clear sky in his mind, and his trembling mouth was so angry that his speech was slurred: "No... Marriage... Husband..."

It was too dark, Vincent didn't notice Lugo's expression as if he was going to eat people, he put his arms around Ann's shoulders with love, and said with a smile: "I met Ann last year, got engaged last month, and will get married in half a month." ”

Lugo's clenched teeth kept clucking, and his gloomy eyes were like wolf eyes, staring straight at Vincent, if the eyes could kill, Vincent would not even have scum left.

Ann knew that Lugo was a bad temper, and was afraid that Vincent would be beaten violently, so she hurriedly found an excuse to push Vincent back to the house: "You go home and boil hot water first, and I'll send Lord Lugo to you." ”

In this way, Vincent came out with a confused face, and was pushed back with a confused face.

Ann closed the door, subconsciously brushed her loose hair behind her ears, walked to Lugo's side with her head down, and whispered, "Since you all know, let's just talk about it..."

"I don't understand." Lugo gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "Am I not good enough for you?" ”

Ann whispered, "You're nice to me, just..."

Lugo interrupted, "What is that man for?" Aristocrat? ”

Ann shook her head: "Vincent is not a nobleman, he is a commoner like me, working as a cook in the Inquisition's Mansion. ”

After hearing this, Lu Ge laughed directly, smiled miserably, and poked his heart hard and asked: "I am the deputy general of the death legion, the captain of the security of the main city directly under the central government, and the eight-rank official at the provincial level, not as good as a chef?" ”

An slowly closed his eyes, and his voice was a little sad: "This is what makes us different... You always like to talk about your position and status, but that's not what I'm interested in. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, then we don't talk about birth status." Lugo stepped forward and asked, "I'll just ask one thing, I'm very good to you, there's nothing to say, right?" During your hospitalization, I came to visit you every day after work, brought you delicious food, and chatted with you. When you were bullied by other people, I was the one who helped you teach them a lesson and send you home safely. ”

"And work... If it weren't for me, you think that tavern owner would be kind enough to take you in? I'm not usually a bird like that, but in order to make your work more enjoyable, I can only talk to him with a smile. I've done so much for you... I don't understand, could it be that Vincennes is doing more than me? ”

Ann sighed and said faintly, "I know you're good to me, but... Lord Lugo, you must know that love cannot be measured by giving and returning, not that the more you give, the more you will definitely receive. ”

"In my opinion, love is the connection between hearts and minds, and only the heartbeat of love is love, and nothing else."

"Yes, you often visited me during my time in the hospital, but so did Vincent—when he came to visit me, he didn't carry a terrifying black knife on his shoulder, but with white flowers in his hand."

"Every holiday, Vincent would come and give me a gift – not a freshly hunted, bloody wolf head, but a doll that would play music at the push of a button."

"Vinson often brought me something to eat and knew exactly what I liked to eat, and he would buy me delicious cheesecakes, fresh apples, and sweet rose cakes instead of spicy roasted rabbit heads."

Speaking of this, An couldn't help but smile wryly: "You don't even know that I have a nest of cute rabbits at home... Every time I see the roast rabbit head you bought, my scalp goes numb..."

Lugo was speechless, and his voice weakened: "You never told me about these things..."

"Because I don't dare..."An looked at Lu Ge with a faint look in his eyes, his voice was a little sad, "As you said, you are the deputy general of the Death Legion, the captain of the security team of the main city directly under the central government, and the eight-rank official of the provincial level, anything you give me is a high gift, whether it is good or bad, whether I like it or not, how can I have the courage to refuse?" ”

Lugo's mouth opened and closed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only whisper: "But... Ann, you know I like you..."

An nodded silently: "I know you like me, I'm not a fool, I can see it." But with all due respect, with you I will only be scared ... The status gap between you and me is too big for me to be overwhelmed... You, who are in a high position, and I are not from the same world at all. ”

"You have seen the world, you are more knowledgeable than me, when you talk to me, you always talk about the formation of troops in battle, the posture when fighting the enemy, the skills and angles of wielding knives... I can't even answer a word, and I don't dare to answer it, for fear of offending you by saying the wrong thing. ”

"And the beating thing... Today, for example, I know you're angry with me by hitting that drinker, but... This condescending violence scared me, and I really couldn't understand why a customer could be beaten like that after just two reprimands at the waiter. ”

"Didn't I spill my wine and make a mistake first? Even if you want to help me get out, you can reason with him, why is it just punching and kicking... I felt incredibly guilty to see that guest covered in blood because of my beating..."

"When I was with you, I was only nervous, only scared, and never dared to relax for a moment..."

"Vincent is different, I feel very relaxed when I am with him, I can laugh when I want, say whatever I want, never worry about which sentence is wrong, I want to be with him all the time, I think this is what love should look like."

Lugo clenched his fists, trying to save face, and his voice became louder: "At least I'm better than him, and I can protect you." ”

"I don't understand, why do you always talk about strength, always fight like a beast?" Ann also seemed to be a little anxious, holding her forehead and said quietly, "Yes, of course Vincent is not as strong as you, but you are extraordinary... But he can protect me too, he will stand up when I am being molested by the little rascals, and even if he can't beat those people, he will open his arms and protect me behind me. ”

"I'm not a warrior on the battlefield, strength really doesn't mean anything to me, so what? What about weakness? All I wanted was a little bit of security. ”

"And this sense of security, you can't give me, Vincent can..."
