Chapter 141 Participation.

When Lu Xia saw Smelian, she smiled and said, "This dress looks good, it suits you very well."

Smelian also smiled, "Xia Xia looks good today too."

The two smiled at each other, and walked out of the Duke's Mansion together, heading to the public banquet for the head husbands held by Victoria.

When Lu Xia and Smelian got off the hovercraft, Mrs. Dana was already waiting for them at the place agreed with Lu Xia.

Today, Mrs. Dana still attended alone in a gorgeous dress. Seeing Lu Xia and Smelian together, she felt a little disappointed. She glanced at Smelian lightly, without saying much, and just said to Lu Xia, "Let's go in."

Smelian didn't seem to feel Mrs. Dana's strangeness, but he knew very well that Mrs. Dana might want to see Lu Xia and Cecil together, but he knew very well that Cecil might have a chance in the future, but not now.

He would not give such an opportunity to Cecil, and he would not feel any indebtedness to Cecil. Whether they could get Lu Xia's love or not, they all depended on their own abilities.

They arrived not too early, and there were already many guests chatting in the huge banquet hall. Noticing Lu Xia and Smellian beside Lady Dana, everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on them.

Even if Her Majesty the Queen didn't want to, the nobles living in this circle knew a little about the rumors of the rift between Lu Xia and Victoria.

Therefore, when they saw Lu Xia and Smellian appear, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on them curiously, because they didn't expect Lu Xia to bring her husband to this public banquet, and they didn't expect Victoria to send them an invitation.

After all, it's impossible to enter such a public banquet without an invitation.

And they were still with Lady Dana. It's not difficult to understand their relationship when they thought that Lady Dana had a male servant who was the husband of Duke Lu Xia.

But most of them must not have imagined that this was actually the instruction of Her Majesty the Queen.

Lu Xia ignored the eyes cast on them. If it wasn't for Her Majesty the Queen's intention, she would never appear here today. She had no interest in who would become Victoria's husband.

Mrs. Dana obviously knew what Lu Xia was thinking. After coming in, she said to Lu Xia, "There aren't many people over there. Let's go sit over there."

Obviously, she didn't have the mind or idea to entertain those people, and she wouldn't help Victoria host today's public banquet for the host husband. Although she and Mrs. Dai Yin were sisters, their relationship was not harmonious.

Even since childhood, her relationship with Mrs. Dai Yin was extremely bad.

Lu Xia had no objection to this, and motioned Smelian to follow. The three of them sat down in the corner of the banquet hall.

Smelian took the initiative to say, "I'll go get some food."

Because they hadn't eaten dinner at this time, they didn't know when the banquet would end. If they didn't eat something in advance, it would be difficult to make it. He didn't want Lu Xia to hurt his stomach because of this.

However, Cecil's reminder was still in his ears when he went out, so when he took the food, he paid special attention to what those people had eaten.

When he put the food on the table, Mrs. Dana didn't know what to do and was no longer at the table.

Lu Xia noticed that he had come back, smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and said, "No need to rush, I'm not hungry, let's sit down for a while to prove that we've been here, and we can leave if there's nothing else."

Smelian nodded without saying much. He knew that Lu Xia's relationship with Victoria was far from enough to attend her open banquet for the master husband. But Lu Xia's presence meant that there were things he didn't know, so he would have no objection to Lu Xia's behavior.

Lu Xia simply ate some pastries on the plate and drank a glass of wine brought by the waiter.

Just as she put down the glass, Victoria and her mother, Mrs. Dai Yin, finally appeared in the banquet hall.

Everyone looked up, knowing that Victoria's open banquet for the master husband was about to begin with the arrival of the two. However, the other protagonist of this open banquet, Victoria's master husband, the male son of the Dafelno family with a genetic fusion degree of 80%, was nowhere to be seen, which inevitably made people feel strange.

But seeing that Victoria and Mrs. Dai Yin looked normal, they must have their own arrangements, and everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.

Victoria can be regarded as a gorgeous dress today, dressed like a butterfly, standing under the light, the jeweled skirt on her body sparkled and even a little dazzling.

After Mrs. Dayne finished her opening remarks, Victoria also smiled and said a few words of thanks, then looked at Dong Ke, the son of the Dafelno family, who was walking down the spiral staircase step by step.

The other party was wearing a white dress and looked extremely thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind. It was indeed in line with what Sivir said that day.

But Lu Xia just glanced at him and had no interest. There are many people in this world who deserve sympathy, but she is not a saint. She is not in the mood to sympathize with everyone, nor is she so kind to save everyone.

At this time, Dong Ke had come to Victoria. Even if he put on powder on his face, he could not hide his haggardness and paleness, as well as his rejection of Victoria. But even so, Victoria still took his arm forcefully, pulled him to her side, faced the crowd, and accepted the curiosity, scrutiny, exploration and malicious eyes cast by those people. These fell on Dong Ke and became invisible pressure, making his body tremble slightly.

Victoria's eyes flashed with a little disgust. If it wasn't for the Queen's personal gift, even if Dong Ke was a gene fusion with 80% gene fusion, she would not look down on him for his useless appearance.

But she couldn't refuse the Queen's order, so she could only pretend to be fine.

But fortunately, as a member of the royal family, it is not difficult to do so. This is almost a natural ability for them.

After accepting everyone's blessings, Victoria took Dong Ke's arm and left, leaving only Madam Dai Yin to entertain the guests.

The banquet was coming to an end here. The purpose of coming here today had been achieved. Lu Xia felt that there was no need for her to sit down anymore. Just as she was about to get up and leave with Smelian, a waiter suddenly came over: "Your Excellency the Duke, Madam Dai Na, please go to the back. I have something to talk to you about."

Lu Xia was slightly stunned: "What does Madam Dai Na want to talk to me about?"

The waiter shook his head: "I don't know, just asked you to go over."

Lu Xia nodded. Since it was Madam Dai Na who was looking for her, she really couldn't refuse.

Smelian said at the right time: "I'll go with you."

Lu Xia responded: "Okay."

After all, this is Victoria and Mrs. Dayne's territory, and the relationship between them is not harmonious. Lu Xia feels more at ease with Smelian accompanying him.
