Chapter 98 Favor.
Hearing the word "alone" from Smelian's mouth, Lu Xia couldn't help but worry if something happened to Smelian.
And it was something that couldn't be known by a third person, it seemed that the problem was a bit serious.
Lu Xia nodded and said, "Then wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
"No hurry." Seeing her agree, Smelian smiled. He was good-looking to begin with, and now with this smile, he looked even more gentle.
Many people around him looked at him sideways.
It has to be admitted that the males of the Raffield family are good-looking.
No wonder they are liked by many females in the empire.
Lu Xia didn't know what these people were thinking. She greeted Admiral Snoop, and told the researchers of the Second Courtyard, then changed her clothes and left with Smelian.
On the way, Lu Xia sent a message to the old housekeeper, telling him not to prepare dinner for her and Smelian, and also notified Grace
that she and Smelian would be back late.
Grace's reply was simple: "I know, be careful."
She didn't ask what she was going to do with Smelian alone, but just reminded her to be safe.
After seeing the reply, Lu Xia turned off the terminal and asked the person beside her: "Where are we going to eat?"
"I have already reserved a place in advance, just follow me." Smelian kept it a secret for a while, and Lu Xia nodded and gladly accepted the proposal.
The restaurant Smelian reserved was very stylish, not only with a first-class atmosphere, but also a very good environment. Under the guidance of the waiter to the box, you can see the scenery below through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can also hear the soothing and gentle violin solo. It is private and not overly depressing. It is a very suitable place for a date.
Lu Xia rarely has the opportunity to eat in such a place, and she felt it was quite fresh at first.
"Is this place difficult to make an appointment?" Although she had never been here before, she could see that the environment and the attitude of the waiters were of high standards, and it was obvious that not everyone could come in to eat.
"Yes, I made a reservation a month in advance, and I just got the number today."
Smelian's answer surprised Lu Xia. She didn't expect that the other party would prepare for today so early.
"So what exactly do you want to talk about?" Lu Xia was not sure if she could handle it well, as he was so cautious.
"We can talk about it after dinner. Don't worry, it's not a serious matter." Smelian saw that the little female seemed a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted her, and changed the subject. "I heard that their steak and seafood are very good, so I
ordered some of both. I hope you like them."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about things now, Lu Xia stopped entangled, thinking that he would talk about it anyway, so it didn't matter for a while.
The environment here is good, and the food must not be bad, so it's better to enjoy the food first.
As it turned out, Smelian was not wrong. The seafood and steak here tasted very good, and the ingredients were fresh. Lu Xia was very satisfied with the meal.
While eating, she also drank a glass of wine. At this time, her fair cheeks were covered with a layer of pink, making her look lively.
Smellian's eyes were always smiling tonight. When he looked at Lu Xia, his golden pupils were so gentle that they were about to drip with water.
Lu Xia put down the cup and looked at Smellian: "Now that the meal is over, you can talk, right?"
Smellian smiled and nodded, without further delaying. He saw that Duke Lu Xia seemed to be impatient, which was quite cute.
Just when Lu Xia thought that he was finally going to speak, Smellian suddenly stood up and walked to his side, and then knelt on one knee in front of her under her suspicious gaze: "Your Excellency the Duke, can you give me grace like you gave Grace?"
After many days of absence, the word "grace" appeared again.
Lu Xia could understand the meaning of these two words at the first time.
The temperature on her face seemed to be higher.
She didn't expect that all Smellian had prepared to say tonight was about this.
"Smellian, isn't it good to maintain the current relationship?" Lu Xia felt that it would be good to maintain the status quo and everyone would be at peace.
Smelian looked at her with a firm look in his eyes: "No, Xia Xia, can I call you that?"
Lu Xia nodded. It was just a name, she didn't really care.
Smelian's eyes smiled again: "I know that I can't compare to Grace's position in your heart, but I also want to have the opportunity to truly stand by your side and receive your favor. I don't want to be just a bystander, standing aside and watching you. To be honest, I am a little jealous of your preference for Grace. I hope you can also look at me, okay?"
At this point, Smelian's tone became humble.
Even as he said these words, Smelian carefully took Lu Xia's hand and placed it on his face.
A pair of golden eyes stared at her with pleading eyes. Lu Xia felt that only a heart of stone could refuse Smelian at this moment.
"I've always thought that you should have a better choice. You don't have to be trapped by my side. Your current identity is your shackles, but I always feel that it can be changed. Maybe after you become a gene fusion, even if we end our relationship, it will be..."
"Xia Xia, do you want to end your relationship with me? Don't you want me?" Smellian looked unbelievable, and his face turned pale in an instant, as if he had never thought that Lu Xia would not want him.
"No, I just said so, not that I would definitely do it. I was thinking that you might want to be free?"
"I don't want to!" Smellian's answer was clear and clear. He put his face completely in Lu Xia's hands. "I want to be with you, just like Grace. I want to get your favor. I really want to. Can you please not refuse me? Even if you can't agree now, can you please consider it? Don't rush to refuse. Please, leave me some hope, Xia Xia, I will do it to satisfy you."
Facing such a humble and pleading Smellian, Lu Xia felt that it was difficult not to be soft-hearted. She took the initiative to hold Smellian's face and looked at him seriously.
"Are you jealous of Grace's closeness to me?"
"More of an envy. I know that he was the first to come to your side, so he deserves all the favors he gets. I shouldn't compare myself with him, but I can't control my heart. I also want you to see me, even if it's just to give me a little
warmth , it's better than excluding me. That's why I prepared all this today, hoping to make you happy, maybe you will agree?"
Smelian did not hide his intentions, as if he was going to completely dissect himself in front of Lu Xia today and put his truest side in front of Lu Xia.
