Chapter 49 Chapter 49: Enlightenment "I just... a little bit...
As night falls, the hustle and bustle gradually subsides into the embrace of the night, in the spacious and bright large flat in the city center.
Xirui turned on the light and pulled off his tie. His eyes naturally fell on the sofa in the middle of the living room.
There, a sudden figure appeared.
Louis sat quietly on the sofa like a silent sculpture.
Xirui was shocked when a living person suddenly appeared in the house.
Xirui was speechless: "Fuck, big brother, buddy, ancestor, your father, could you tell me if you were coming?
No, you showed up in my living room late at night like a ghost, and I thought a burglar had broken in."
That’s right, Xirui told Louis the password to his house before, so it’s normal that Louis can enter his house.
"What are you doing? You don't come here for no reason."
Xirui walked straight to the large and comfortable sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down on it without warning in an almost relieved posture.
Louis only whispered: "I seem to have encountered a little problem."
"What?" Xirui glanced over at Louis, feeling like he was about to eat melon.
“…”
Louis looked a little tired.
"Never mind. It's nothing."
"Nothing? If nothing, why are you showing up at my house so late at night?"
Xirui obviously didn't believe it, and left the words half-spoken. Doesn't that just keep people in suspense?
"Well, since you don't want to say it, let me guess."
"Come to think of it, I forgot to check with you last time. I heard that Mr. Perrance ordered a luxury aircraft a while ago."
"I guess it's not for your kid?"
Louis was silent.
He didn't know whether to admit or deny it for a moment. He said he gave it to him, but Louis didn't accept it at the time. And because of this aircraft...
And after the aircraft, there was the aphrodisiac incident. At that time, he could have pulled away after suppressing Perlans, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation and left behind the last bit of his sanity.
Now that I think about it, it seems that the potion can’t be blamed.
"OK, I think I know the answer."
Xirui's intuition was sometimes very accurate. He was originally slumped on the sofa, but he moved and sat up a little, hugging his chest and looking at Louis who was frowning.
"Let me give you a heads-up. I'm not going out of my way to pry into your private affairs. It's mainly about that day at the banquet. Buddy, remember you were holding Boss Pearlance and bumped into me in the corridor?"
"It was you who was hit?"
Louis was slightly surprised.
"Nonsense, of course it was me who got bumped into."
Xirui rolled his eyes.
"Good boy, you were really in a hurry that night. You ran so fast that I couldn't even stop you in time."
Louis remembered.
At that time, Perlans was almost unable to stand. Louis was holding Perlans in his arms and was anxious, so he didn't pay attention to who he bumped into.
Louis looked up: "I'm sorry, did I apologize that day?"
"I apologized, I apologized,"
Xirui waved his hand and continued,
"I guessed at that time that there was definitely something going on between you two. From the time I joined until now, I've never seen you so anxious."
"That's different," Louis whispered. He repeated, "It's different."
"Yes, yes, it's different. So what are you struggling with now? You're troubling me so much."
If Xirui had some melon seeds in his hand, he would have wanted to start eating some.
In Xirui's impression of Louis, Louis is a super invincible roller coaster who is extremely efficient at work and an ace performance king.
Unlike Xirui, a rich second-generation who is good at playing badly, Louis has no background at all. He relies entirely on his own study and work, and is promoted step by step based on his personal work ability.
From the bottom of his heart, Xirui admired Louis and was willing to make friends with people like Louis.
However, people like Louis are a bit obsessive-compulsive. They want to plan everything and be sure of everything, and they will feel anxious about unexpected events that deviate from the planned route.
"I'm just... a little unsure."
Louis' voice was very soft, and it was unclear whether he was speaking to Xirui or to himself.
"Also, the timing isn't right right now. I feel like... I'm not even sure yet, but I'm about to enter a committed relationship."
Louis really felt that things between him and Perrance moved too quickly, and that it was based on sex. He always felt that it was inappropriate to start like this, but things had come to this point, and he didn't know how to proceed.
Three months. For someone like Louis who has never been in a relationship, three months may just be the limit of time for him to understand something, but it is not enough to reach the level of complete understanding.
Obviously, he was able to move easily among customers, but when he got here, Louis seemed stretched and hesitant.
Up to now, Louis even felt an intense sense of powerlessness and confusion, a feeling he rarely had in his heart.
"Well, okay, let me correct what you just said. In this world, there is no definite relationship other than blood relationship."
Xirui understood what Louis meant and said,
"I don't mean to be a teacher. I'm just offering some advice as a friend. How should I put it? You're a little too presumptuous."
"I completely understand that you want everything to go according to plan, including the progress of previous projects, but when it comes to dating, it's not a pre-set project. If you really set a pre-set, it will be boxed in, which is boring."
Louis shook his head.
"I didn't want to be framed, I just felt..."
But halfway through his speech, he stopped talking and suddenly fell silent.
"Well, love is not just about you, it's about both parties."
Xirui patted Louis's shoulder.
"I understand you. You might want to slow down, take it easy, or wait a little longer. But all your hesitation is actually a form of rejection from Mr. Perrance. The longer you hesitate and the more you refuse, the more it will hurt feelings."
"Of course, this is a private matter between you two. I'm just here to offer you some comfort and advice as an outsider."
“…Thank you.” Louis lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh, yes."
Xirui slapped his forehead and interrupted.
"I told you a while ago that Xu Wen was getting married soon. Their wedding invitation was sent to me today. I wanted to bring it to you or send you an electronic version, but I was so busy today that I forgot."
"Let me show you."
As he spoke, Xirui took out the invitation letter from his pocket.
The light in the living room fell on Louis's angular face. He took the invitation from Xirui and pinched the cover of the invitation with large golden letters embossed on it.
"Xu Wen and First Legion Commander Hoss, they are so fast, are they getting married soon?"
He lowered his head slightly and his eyes fell on the content of the invitation, which clearly stated the time of the wedding - tomorrow afternoon.
After reading it, Louis closed the invitation.
Xirui nodded:
"It's pretty fast, but for the Zerg, the process from falling in love to getting married is a matter of a split second. They're already very slow, it's almost like a long-distance relationship."
"Take a couple of days' rest and stop thinking too much. How about you stay at my house today and go to Xu Wen's wedding together tomorrow?"
Louis agreed.
——
the next day.
In the Cathedral of Light, the wedding of the First Legion Commander Hoss and His Excellency Hugo Wen was held grandly. Inside the church, there were crowds of guests. Many senior military officers were dressed in neat uniforms with solemn faces, and there were also many celebrities in the industry.
The church is interwoven with blue and white. The blue satin and tulle sway gently, as light as the waves, echoing the blue sky and white clouds on the dome. It is a beauty that is both broad and delicate.
The entrance is lined with white lilies and light blue hydrangeas, some in bud and some in full bloom, dotted in an orderly manner.
The wedding was a grand one, with the royal prince and his lord Ian in attendance. They were publicly granted marriage by the Insect Emperor, which was considered explosive news at the time.
"Look, Ian is here too. We can even have a drink together later."
Xirui said that when he and Louis got off the aircraft, they saw Ian and the Grand Prince entering the church.
"Is that the Highness over there?"
Louis had never seen the prince, so naturally he didn't recognize him.
"certainly."
Xirui took a look.
"His Highness has a signature silver mask. You can collect royal rumors about it. There's a huge amount of information. If you're interested, I can tell you about it later."
Louis glanced toward the church door again.
His Highness Hades was indeed wearing a half-covered silver mask, which hid the right side of his face in the dark, leaving only the outline of the left side. However, his every move revealed the murderous and decisive spirit forged from a long military career.
Beside him, the male insect Ian walked quietly side by side with His Highness.
Ian was also wearing a simple and solemn black suit today. He had long, shiny black hair and a tall stature. He was only slightly shorter than the Grand Prince when standing next to him. His thin muscles could be seen under the suit. There was an unapproachable coldness and arrogance in his eyes, as if he would criticize him harshly in the next second.
As far as they knew, Ian had a sharp tongue, but he loved sweet things.
His only hobby is probably eating chocolate cake, and he only eats this kind. Ian really loves chocolate cake and it is a must-have snack every day.
Xirui can always summarize everyone's characteristics very accurately.
He said that Ian was also a genius and a workaholic, his mind full of experiments, and he could work from morning to night, from dawn to dusk. Perhaps because of this some kind of strange persistence or personality talent, Ian's spiritual level was S-level.
At that time, everyone thought that Ian would spend his whole life in the laboratory, but unexpectedly he got married. Oh no, it was an arranged marriage.
Xirui followed Louis and looked at Ian and the others, and saw that Commander Wenlayak seemed to have gone in from behind. Wait a minute, that, that wasn't Commander Wenlayak's ex-husband Lin Mo!
They went in one after the other. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to see it?
Feeling like he was about to eat the melon, Xirui's attention was immediately drawn away and his curiosity was aroused.
Before he could even take a second look, Louis suddenly pulled him aside.
Xirui's eyes widened instantly and looked at Louis:
"Oh my god, what are you doing? What are you doing all of a sudden?"
"Ahem, wait a minute, let's go in later."
Louis said with a hint of discomfort in his tone.
Suddenly, Xirui felt puzzled, but when he turned to look at the door, he suddenly discovered the reason why Louis was hiding.
Isn't that Perrance?
No wonder Louis dodged for a moment.
At the church door, the female with long silver hair was wearing a snow-white suit and a new pair of silver-rimmed glasses on her nose. The silver glasses chain was dangling slightly - after all, the original pair of glasses had been stepped on and broken by Louis.
Wearing gloves, Perrance handed the invitation in his hand to the servant at the door, then walked into the corridor of the church with a cold expression.
Xirui was forced to hide with Louis for a while. As a result, he and Louis were glanced at by Jin'er, who had just arrived, as if they were two fools.
Xirui: ...
Louis: Ahem.
Jin Er walked forward, his expression looking speechless:
"What are you two doing here? Didn't I give you the invitation?"
Xirui laughed dryly and racked his brains to come up with an outrageous excuse: "Boss Jin, we are actually waiting for you!"
Louis: “Ah, yes.”
“…”
Jin Er was silent for a moment, but did not expose it.
"Then let's go in together. Xu Wen and his family's wedding is about to begin."
