Chapter 200: The Mask Ball
Viscount Leng brought up the wedding again after taking the ring back.
The way he took it for granted made Lou Li not react.
"What's wrong? Little sister, don't you want to marry me? β
He called her as he did when he was a child.
Viscount Leng was obviously smiling, but he gave people endless coldness.
Lou Li frowned: "I have already returned the ring to you, I am very grateful to you for saving me before, but our marriage cannot be casual." β
"Except for marriage, I will try my best to make up for you any compensation you need."
Viscount Leng took a sip of coffee with a smile: "Little sister, do I look like I am very poor?" β
"Everything in the world is under my control, I want everything."
"You're the only one who wants right now."
Lou Li: "I'm not an object. β
"You're someone I've identified since I was a child."
ββ¦β¦β
Since recovering that memory.
Lou Li is always extremely guilty in the face of Viscount Leng.
The two were silent for a long time, and she changed the topic first.
Beautiful eyes were full of loneliness: "Back then...... How did you get away back then? β
How to escape from such a human purgatory?
And he was so badly injured.
Viscount Leng smiled slightly, got up and approached Lou Li: "Those old immortals in my family rescued me, and I asked them to send you back to the domestic hospital for recuperation." β
"But those old things wiped everything about you directly after sending you away, I couldn't find you, I thought you would look for me when you woke up."
"That's more than ten years."
With several rounds of seasonal changes.
Viscount Leng felt that he had been betrayed, and he was angry, sad, and helpless.
Such heavy feelings made Lou Li unbearable.
She felt suffocated and almost out of breath: "I'm sorry...... I lost my memory twice. β
If she remembers those things with Viscount Leng.
Maybe you can't calmly have this kind of entanglement with Xu Jiuyan.
But she knows better than anyone else.
She and Viscount Leng were not simple children back then.
All actions are just choices after weighing the pros and cons.
Viscount Leng was no exception.
Lou Li clenched her fists and looked at him deeply: "Mr. Leng, the reason why you insist on marrying me is not just because of the friendship you had when you were a child. β
"Because I have something else in me that you want."
As early as a few days ago.
Yu Gaochang brought news to himself that if Viscount Leng wanted to get rid of family control and become the next head of the family, he must marry to consolidate his power.
In recent years, Leng has developed the domestic market from politics and business, and wants to find a daughter of a famous family who can marry within his control.
And Lou, who has a strong cohesion, was targeted by him.
It just so happens that he is his old friend when he was a child, and everything seems reasonable.
He was able to bind herself in the name of love and make her devote herself wholeheartedly to him.
Lou Li is not stupid.
She knows that many people approach her for profit.
She was the only one who lured Xu Jiuyan for profit.
"I'm glad that our little Lou family will still be favored by the lord, but it is impossible for us to get married."
Lou Li felt that no matter how humble she was, she would not become anyone's tool.
Viscount Leng was surprised and applauded with a smile: "I do value your ability to lead the Lou clan more than other vases. β
"But why don't you believe my feelings for you?"
Lou Li frowned: "Feelings are what you and I want, I don't have feelings for you, at most I only have the affection of being a brother." β
She made it clear.
Viscount Leng couldn't laugh anymore, he played with the ring with a blank face.
suddenly took Lou Li's hand and put it on her ring finger.
With a small and dark movement of him, the buckle was stuck.
Lou Li was no longer able to take out the ring on her finger.
"Isn't this a ring that's important to you? Mr. Leng, stop making such jokes and take it away. β
If Xu Jiuyan sees it, it will be difficult for him again.
Viscount Leng smiled warmly: "If you want to take off this ring, accompany me to the International Mask Ball in seven days." β
Lou Li had no choice but to agree.
This ring is too much of an eyesore to put on my hand.
Many people see themselves as a thorn in their side.
Now that Qin Sang and Xu's mother are not well, Lou Li rushed to the hospital as soon as possible after chatting.
"It's okay, Xiaoli, you can rest assured that I will take good care of myself on a business trip, and your father will come to see me every day."
Qin Sang let Lou Li rest assured that he would go abroad.
Mother Xu, who was in the same ward, also didn't want to miss this opportunity to match Lou Li with her son.
proposed to let Xu Jiuyan send Lou Li with him.
was decisively rejected by Lou Li: "I'm sorry, aunt, my trip this time is a private matter." β
Mother Xu had no choice but to change the topic: "Then can you show me your silver bracelet from last time?" β
She had to make sure it wasn't the one the old man had given him when he was a kid.
Lou Li was vigilant and casually perfunctory: "It's just an ordinary silver bracelet, nothing special." β
After returning to the riverside villa from the hospital, Xu Jiuyan was already waiting for her in the room.
He sat on the sofa with a dignified and elegant posture, his straight and slender legs folded.
He dusted off his cigarette ash and didn't look up from the paper: "You're going abroad." β
Lou Li was helpless: "Well, I'm going there on a business trip." β
She doesn't feel nervous anymore after telling too many lies.
Xu Jiuyan snuffed out the cigarette butt and put down the document, and his eyes swept towards her coldly: "Come here." β
Lou Li obediently sat on his lap, and occasionally clinged to his neck.
Xu Jiuyan took advantage of the situation to clasp the back of her head and kiss her.
A gentle kiss.
Contrary to the rough and blazing of the past.
Inexplicably dispelled Lou Li's uneasiness.
"You are very bold, I told you that you are in danger of being targeted now, and you have to go abroad."
Xu Jiuyan's thin lips kissed her earlobe again, and his voice was hoarse: "Still, you are going to see other men." β
Lou Li's heart was weak and avoided the touch: "No, it's just a simple business trip......"
She didn't know how to explain the matter with Viscount Leng.
I didn't feel the need to talk to him.
A week later, Xu Jiuyan sent Lou Li abroad.
Twelve o'clock that night.
Viscount Leng and the costumed Lou Li attended the International Masked Ball.
The ball's guests were all from around the world.
It's a coincidence.
As soon as Lou Li was about to enter, he saw that Xu Jiuyan was also at the dance party, and he was taking the mask handed by the beautiful female companion and putting it on.
Xu Jiuyan said that he was sending himself, but he still attended the ball with his female boss?
Her pupils shrank sharply, instinctively wanting to suppress the heartache and turn her steps away.
Viscount Leng clasped her wrist: "What are you afraid of wearing a full-face mask?" β
Lou Li's mood calmed down.
Slowly walked into the scene with Viscount Leng.
I prayed in my heart not to cause a sensation and let Xu Jiuyan notice.
But it often backfires.
Some of them saw the Ren family ring on Lou Li's hand.
An exclamation.
"It's actually the family owner's ring?! Found the ring that has been missing for so long? Then this woman must be the fiancΓ©e of the owl! β
Xu Jiuyan looked through the crowd.
That cold gaze was nailed to his body.
It's like an execution.
Lou Li was still nervous even when she was wearing a mask.
The next moment, the uneasiness came true.
Xu Jiuyan approached: "Mrs. Leng? β
