Chapter 90 Date
Although this male insect does look good, isn't he a little too narcissistic? !
Ludwig thought of this sentence inexplicably. He slowly leaned back in his chair, tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, and said with a tone that was hard to tell: "Ms. Amber, if you want me to trust you, care about you, and protect you, then shouldn't you show the right attitude instead of making jokes in Heights City every day and having scandals with other female insects?"
"I said yesterday that what happened will not happen again."
Amber Yuqi smiled slightly, pulled out a restaurant business card from her coat pocket and handed it to Ludwig. His slender and bony fingertips held the thin, hot-stamped card, which was almost transparent in the sun, perfect like a work of art. "I heard that this restaurant is good. To express my apology, how about I treat you to a meal? It's close to the military headquarters and won't take up too much of your time."
He took every possible factor into consideration, making it hard for Chong to refuse.
Ludwig frowned and glanced at the address on the business card: "Is this your attitude?"
"More than that," Amber smiled, "but you'll have to wait and see the rest later."
Although Ludwig didn't say anything, he still took out the business card in his hand and controlled the aircraft to drive towards the destination. It was obvious that he accepted Amber's "invitation".
The restaurant Amber chose was quite popular. In addition, it was near the headquarters of the armed forces, so many female officers would meet here for dinner after get off work. It was a famous date spot for couples.
It was dinner time and the restaurant was almost full, so many customers had no choice but to wait for their number at the outdoor cafe.
Ludwig regretted it the moment he stepped into the restaurant. If he accidentally bumped into his colleagues while eating, he would probably be criticized. He was used to being alone and was not accustomed to such occasions.
Ludwig frowned and said, "There are too many customers here. Do you want to change to another one?"
He really hoped that Amber would say yes, but the sensible male insect didn't seem to understand his thoughts: "It's dinner time now, it's normal to have a lot of customers, and the same goes for changing homes."
Ludwig insisted, "But the wait for a table will be long."
Amber looked down at the terminal on her wrist and said, "It's okay. I made a reservation for 6pm. The time is just right."
Ludwig looked at Amber in surprise: "Have you made an appointment in advance? What if I don't agree to have dinner together?"
Amber smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, it will be the same if I eat it myself."
Even if Ludwig declined the invitation, he still had to eat at six in the evening, so it was not a loss.
Ludwig: “…”
Angry.
Male insects are always the center of attention in the imperial capital. A handsome male insect walking on the street will definitely attract people's attention. It is no exaggeration to say that when Amber stepped into the restaurant door, more than half of the female insects in the place subconsciously looked over, and even the air was silent for a moment.
Amber, however, seemed unaware of the overly intense gazes. She followed the procedure, told the waiter her terminal number, and followed the waiter's dazed steps to her reserved table.
"Hello, this is... this is our menu."
The young female waitress handed the menu to Amber. She was a little afraid to look directly at her too attractive face. Her face turned red and her hands were shaking with nervousness. Amber said "thank you" and handed the menu to Ludwig beside her: "Take a look, what do you want to eat?"
This is against the rules, as male insects usually order first.
Ludwig would not make such a mistake in public. He handed the menu back to Amber and said, "Please order. I am not picky about food."
Amber didn't refuse and directly ordered two well-received set meals. He didn't even flip through the menu, and it was obvious that he had already made a plan in advance.
Ludwig inexplicably felt like he was being put on a chessboard, as if his every move had been calculated by the other party. He tapped his knees with his fingertips, frowned and glanced at Amber and asked, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going to see the third prince today?"
The restaurant sent two glasses of sparkling wine, but the taste was not very good. Amber gently put the glass back on the corner of the table. Many small bubbles rose rapidly in the clear wine, and then burst one by one.
"It's not a good idea to go and apologize. I can go by myself."
These words were particularly new on the planet Alicia, because no matter whether they were nobles or commoners, when a male insect got into trouble, it was assumed that the female insect would come forward to apologize. It must be said that these words made Ludwig feel a little better, and even improved his impression of Amber who had fallen to the bottom.
The dishes were served one after another and they ate in silence. However, the attention from all around did not decrease, but increased instead. Some even took out their terminals to take pictures secretly.
Amber wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Looks like I should book a private room."
Were there so many people watching him when he first ascended the throne?
Most likely not, because looking directly into the emperor’s face is a capital crime punishable by death.
Ludwig raised his eyelids and turned the ring on his ring finger with a half-smile: "I thought you really like this kind of eye-catching feeling."
Amber looked around and then looked away: "They seem to be watching the excitement."
Rather than being admired as a dazzling diamond, he would rather be feared as a sharp sword.
On the second floor of the restaurant, a group of young military ladies walked out of a private room arm in arm. They were in their early twenties at most and were obviously new recruits who had come here for a dinner party. The sound of laughter was endless.
"Hey, Silver, last time I saw Mr. Fang Yun asking you to go to Darrick Hall to appreciate the art exhibition, did you agree to it?"
The blond-haired, blue-eyed female insect blushed and waved her hand, saying, "No... don't get me wrong... Mr. Fang Yun just came to thank me for helping him copy documents last time..."
The companion said in a long tone: "Oh~ Thank you, Sifley, such a gentle and polite male insect is not easy to find, you should seize the opportunity, if you don't like it, you can give it to me."
Sivley became more and more confused: "Don't talk nonsense, he and I are just colleagues..."
My companion urged me, "When you see a good male insect, you should seize the opportunity. Otherwise, if you end up with a brainless idiot like your brother, even the insect god won't listen to your cries."
Another insect retorted, "Hey, Siflei is not as unlucky as Major General Ludwig. He has the most pure blue eyes in the Lanyi family. There are many male insects in Heize City who want to marry him. No matter what, they will never choose a civilian from an inferior planet."
The noise gradually became louder and louder, and I could no longer make out what was said afterwards.
“…”
Amber glanced at the gloomy Ludwig across from her, put down her knife and fork, and said in a considerate way: "Major General Ludwig, don't worry about what they say. Don't worry, I'm very tough."
He seemed to be comforting, but it seemed like he was pouring chili powder on the wound.
Ludwig's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he almost deformed his knife and fork: "Are you trying to comfort me?"
Amber nodded seriously. "Yes, comfort from an empty-headed...idiot?"
The group of military females happened to be coming downstairs. Someone glanced at the dining area and then nudged the blond female insect next to him with his arm in surprise, "Hey, Sifley, it seems that Major General Ludwig is also having dinner downstairs!"
Amber had her back to the stairs, so he couldn't see her face, otherwise he would have been even more surprised.
Sivley was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He looked in the direction he was looking and found Ludwig sitting at a table not far away. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but he was also looking in their direction.
Those amber eyes called bastard were always so cold and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.
Every time Sieflei was stared at by these eyes, he felt like he had nowhere to hide. He hesitated for a moment before he and his companions came forward to greet him: "What a coincidence, Ludwig, are you here for dinner too?"
The female officers behind him were a little uneasy, after all, they had just said something bad about Ludwig.
"Um."
A single word answered Sivley's question, and then the conversation fell into silence.
Sivley smiled awkwardly and tried to find a topic: "Are you having dinner with your friends? I often come to this restaurant, I can recommend it to you..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Amber's enchanting face, and his voice stopped abruptly, and his mind went blank for a moment:
"An...Mr. Amber?"
Sivley was confused for a moment. Did the other person look like this before?
Amber pulled out the chair and stood up at the right time, saying calmly: "Thank you, but we have already finished eating. Ludwig is usually very busy in the military and rarely takes time out to eat. I don't think he will come again."
He stopped talking and called the waiter to pay the bill with a card. Then he held out his hand to Ludwig and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back to the military headquarters."
When Ludwig saw Amber reaching out her hand, he was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he was grabbed by the other party and taken away from the restaurant, leaving Siffre and the other insects standing there looking at each other in confusion.
The companion couldn't help but push Sivley and stuttered, "Sivley... Sivley... who was that just now? Insect God, I have never seen such a handsome male insect. Has Major General Ludwig found a new love?"
He is well-known for being well-informed in Heitz City, so he should not have failed to hear about the news.
Sifley glanced at his companions who had been unable to recover for a long time. They were all a group of simple-minded and hot-blooded military females. When they suddenly saw such a beautiful male insect, they all blushed.
"I just called his name, Amber, didn't you hear me?"
Sivley was somewhat helpless: "He is my brother's fiancé."
When we left the restaurant, it was getting dark. The streets were full of insects, and if we weren't careful, we would be squeezed and scattered. Ludwig was held tightly by Amber's wrist. If he struggled, she would hold him tighter, and she wouldn't let go until they were next to the aircraft.
The scalding temperature left, and the cold wind passed through my fingertips, bringing an inexplicable chill.
Ludwig subconsciously took a half step back. He frowned and hid his hands behind his back: "You haven't finished your meal yet, you don't have to leave in such a hurry."
He thought Amber left the restaurant because of him. The steak had just been served and she had just taken a bite.
"I can't eat anymore," Amber smiled and adjusted his cufflinks. His fingertips were pale and slender, with distinct joints, giving people a sense of cold abstinence. "Maybe some bugs are too unpalatable."
Disgusting? Who? Severe?
Ludwig raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he heard Severi receive such an evaluation. After all, his brother was always very popular among the male insects. "It seems that you were not satisfied with the meal."
Amber didn't care: "It's okay, we'll make an appointment next time."
Years of experience in the art of being an emperor taught Amber that when you are isolated and helpless, you must find a way to get powerful help, and Ludwig in front of you is a good choice.
He has power, fame, a family, and he's her fiancé. It couldn't be more perfect.
As for the younger brother? What is that?
Ludwig put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the aircraft door. This posture made his legs wrapped in military boots look particularly slender. He asked with interest, "Is this your new trick to seduce female insects?"
Amber smiled and said, "If you want to think so, that's fine."
Ludwig took out a black memory card sealed in a transparent protective case from his trouser pocket. He hooked the rope on it and deliberately turned it around on his fingertips a few times, then asked, "It's courtesy. Should I also flirt with you?"
Amber: "Really? It might be difficult."
Hearing this, Ludwig leaned closer to Amber's ear, which brought them very close. He raised the corners of his lips and whispered, "Then...are you interested in the surveillance video of the auction house?"
Amber paused.
…
In the projection screen, you can clearly see a group of male insects gathered in the rest area on the first floor of the auction house. I don't know whether they are doing it for fun or to cause trouble, but they deliberately force one of the black-haired male insects to drink alcohol frequently. After drinking, the latter seems to become a little excited. He stands on a chair with a glass of wine and shouts. Finally, he rushes to find the bathroom and runs around like a headless fly.
A waiter showed him the way, but he went in the wrong direction and accidentally entered the third prince's private room. He had an argument with the guards at the door. His drunken voice came through the screen, and it was not difficult to feel the strong arrogance:
"I am the fiancé of Major General Ludwig. I wonder who dares to stop me!"
The recording ends here and the sound stops abruptly.
Amber sat on the sofa in the living room at home and pressed replay for the seventeenth time. He zoomed in on the screen and finally stopped at the waiter who was showing the way. He was wearing a black-brimmed hat and his face was not clearly visible. A strand of light chestnut hair fell from his ear, and there was a six-pointed star pattern on the back of his right hand:
"He was the one who delivered the original body's last glass of wine and pointed out the way. This is very suspicious."
Amber asked doubtfully, "Is he an assassin?"
A black heart quietly fell on his head: [Sorry, it involves the plot and cannot be disclosed.]
Amber has learned from the system that the world she lives in is a novel, and Amber Klinz is a small cannon fodder who died at the hands of an assassin in the original work. As for other things, the system refuses to say anything.
[If I reveal the plot, it would be like telling you the identity of the assassin. How can you play the game? But I can tell you that if you don't change your fate now, you and Ludwig will eventually perish...]
The cold and rigid mechanical sound is deliberately suppressed, which inexplicably gives people a creepy feeling, just like a moth swallowed by flames. Even though it knows there is a cliff ahead, it still can't control its instinct and destroys itself again and again.
Amber was very sensitive and caught a message. She asked with interest: "Ludwig and I will both perish in the end?"
【right.】
If the system had a human expression, it would be smiling, with a cold and ambiguous tone.
[And it was you who caused him to perish...]
The black dirty words of the heart suddenly dissipated and turned into a cloud of smoke and quietly disappeared into the air. However, Amber caught a glimpse of the scarlet color that truly belonged to the heart at that moment.
"Is it me who caused his destruction?"
Amber muttered to himself, not quite understanding what this sentence meant, but he knew the system wouldn't tell him, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he picked up the terminal and sent a message to Ludwig:
[The waiter who appeared at 7 minutes and 24 seconds, check his identity. ]
Perhaps he had not yet gotten over his status as an emperor, and he was able to give orders to the insects very easily, which resulted in the other party's call request coming directly to him three seconds later.
Amber clicked the call and heard Ludwig's slightly dissatisfied voice from the other side of the phone. She knew without thinking that the other party must be looking grim: "Are you ordering me to do something?"
Amber smiled and said, "No, I'm looking for help."
Ludwig raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why should I help you?"
Amber fell into the sofa and saw Grandpa Fernan just coming out of the room upstairs. He turned off the projection screen with the remote control, stood up and walked to the balcony to talk on the phone: "I'm your fiancé, isn't it my duty to help my fiancé?"
Ludwig seemed to sneer: "That doesn't mean I need to go through fire and water for you, sir."
Amber's deep voice came through the microphone, with a vague sexy tone for no reason, but it also made people feel particularly calm: "Don't jump to conclusions so early, Major General Ludwig. After all, no one can predict the future. Don't you want to seek justice for your poor fiancé?"
Ludwig had just returned to his private residence. He raised his hand to loosen his tie, and then sank directly into the sofa. He said lazily, "Poor? I don't think you are pitiful."
It's really hateful.
There is a flower garden under the balcony, but without a gardener to take care of it, the branches grow wildly, appearing a bit messy, but it cannot hide the abundant vitality.
Amber likes this place very much. After all, it would be boring if it was too neatly trimmed. "It doesn't matter if I don't check it. I'm just worried that if I get framed again next time, I won't be so lucky. People who don't know will think that I was killed by you."
Ludwig suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"
Amber chuckled. "No, it's just for your reputation."
Ludwig frowned and thought for a moment, and finally said reluctantly: "Give me a few days."
Amber: You agreed?
Inexplicably, the male insect's overly enchanting face emerged in Ludwig's mind. Oh, he had to admit that his future fiancé did have a good appearance and could really make the insect dizzy.
Everyone likes beautiful things, and Ludwig is no exception. He held the communication terminal and tapped the sofa with his fingertips, which sounded like a compromise, but more like a warning: "Don't do this next time."
He has already used the convenience of the military to handle too many problems for Amber, and his patience is on the verge of running out. If any more messy troubles come up, he can't guarantee that he won't explode.
Amber glanced at the darkening sky outside the window. Her eyes were more unpredictable than the night, and a smile flashed across her face quietly: "Don't worry, I said it won't happen again."
"It's getting dark. Go to bed early. I'll take you to try a different restaurant next time."
Ludwig was about to say something when he heard the phone being hung up. He glanced at the terminal screen and suddenly had an incredible thought in his mind -
Could it be that this male insect was deliberately trying to catch him?
Ludwig didn't figure out the reason until he went to bed at night. He always felt that his thoughts seemed a little confused, and his every move was led by the other party. He felt extremely frustrated, and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next morning, it was dawn.
Amber opened his eyes on time at five in the morning. He used to go to court at this time. His biological clock had not adjusted yet. He stared at the ceiling above his head for a while, then he realized that he was no longer in ancient times.
“…”
Amber took out the terminal from under her pillow and checked the time. It was still early, and she was about to take another nap, but a hot search popped up on StarNet Information with a ding sound:
#Surprise! Male insect Amber had a night out with a sexy female, and was photographed entering and leaving a hotel together last month#
Amber slowly typed a question mark: "......?"
