Chapter 140: Keeping an Appointment.
The next morning, Cecil knew that Duke Lu Xia was going to attend Victoria's public banquet for the husband of the house, and that he would be accompanied by Smellian.
Cecil was not surprised by this, but he was inevitably disappointed. Obviously, after Grace left, Smellian was Duke Lu Xia's best choice, and he was not among the choices.
This made him wonder, if he had not been so averse to contacting Duke Lu Xia, but had already made up his mind to stay with Duke Lu Xia like Smellian, then could he compete with Smellian now?
But there are no ifs in many things, and the past cannot be repeated. He can only try to make up for it now, but he doesn't know whether Duke Lu Xia is still willing to accept him and whether he is willing to look at him?
The side effects of Smellian's celebration banquet soon appeared. Lu Xia was followed by a hovercraft on the way to Courtyard No. 1. When she found out, the other party intercepted her immediately.
Lu Xia looked at the tall male who got out of the car. He was wearing a neat suit and tie, and his amber eyes showed that he was a gene fusionist.
He came over and bowed politely to Lu Xia: "I'm sorry to meet you in this way. I'm a male from the Dafelno family. My name is Sivir. I want to recommend myself to be your concubine."
Lu Xia looked at the strong and humble male outside through the car window. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would really think this scene was funny.
"I know, you go back and wait for news."
Lu Xia's answer obviously stunned the man outside the car. He didn't expect Lu Xia to answer him like this, perfunctorily without any disguise. He knew very well that as long as he did what Lu Xia said, he would definitely not get any news.
Xiweier stood up and looked at the little female in the car. Because of the glass, Lu Xia's expression was a little blurry. He said calmly: "You may not know much about the Dafelno family, but you and I can definitely help you."
"Then what do you want from me?" Lu Xia has always been very clear that there is no free lunch in the world, but she doesn't understand what the other party wants. Xiweier is obviously a gene fusion.
"Because I want you to help my brother escape the fate of becoming Victoria's househusband."
Lu Xia was slightly startled when she heard this suddenly. No wonder she felt that the four words Dafelno sounded familiar, because she had seen them in the previous invitation letter. But she didn't expect the other party to come to her for help.
She couldn't help but sneer, "How can you think I have the ability to help you? If I remember correctly, your brother and Victoria were married by Her Majesty the Queen. Who can go against Her Majesty the Queen's wishes? You think too highly of me."
"You are a meritorious duke bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty the Queen will naturally treat you differently. If it were you, I think Her Majesty the Queen would give you a favor. My brother is in poor health. Even if he is 80% of the gene fusion, his body is weak and can't withstand Victoria's favor. I hope you can help us."
"I'm sorry I can't help. You should find someone else."
After saying this, Lu Xia drove away without hesitation.
Her refusal was very straightforward, leaving no hope for Sivir.
She really had no reason to help. After all, she had no connection with the Dafelno family, and Sivir and she were like strangers.
Lu Xia didn't take this matter to heart at all, just thinking it was a small episode when the other party was desperate, but when she parked the hovercraft and got out of the car, she was once again approached by a strange male.
As soon as the other party appeared, he knelt in front of her and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, please accept me as your husband."
Faced with such a request, Lu Xia was speechless. Is she a male shelter? Why do all kinds of people come to her? If Sivir's appearance made her feel helpless, then the male in front of her made her a little angry.
"I don't care who asked you to come, leave now, otherwise I will notify the people of the Male Protection Association to take you away."
The other party did not expect Duke Lu Xia to be so straightforward and ruthless. Before coming, his family clearly told him that Duke Lu Xia was not as rumored. She treated males very well and gently. As long as he had the opportunity to become her husband, he could enjoy the same treatment as Smellian.
After seeing Smellian's celebration banquet, who would not want to become Smellian?
As for why they don't want to become Grace, it's because there is only one main husband, but there can be countless concubines.
One is hopeless, and the other is hopeful. Of course, everyone will only see the one with hope.
The other party obviously didn't want to give up and wanted to ask again, but Lu Xia didn't give him a chance. He directly opened the terminal and pretended to contact the male management agency. The other party got up immediately and turned around and ran away.
Lu Xia turned off the terminal. She didn’t really want to contact the male management agency. She just wanted to scare them off.
But this kind of thing happened once and then twice. Later, Lu Xia encountered an extremely similar thing again, and she scared them off in the same way. But she knew very well that this was only a temporary solution.
So Lu Xia really contacted the male management agency and asked them to send someone to supervise her on the way to work. In just two days, the effect was remarkable. After that, no one dared to intercept Lu Xia on the way to work and say some specious words.
On the day of Victoria’s househusband’s public banquet, Smelian changed into the dress that the old butler had prepared for him in advance. The black dress set off Smelian’s originally tall figure even more perfectly. When he came out of the room, he happened to meet Cecil who came back from outside.
The other party noticed his clothes and asked softly, "Are you going to attend the Victorian Mistress Open Banquet?"
Smelian did not hide it and nodded gently, "Yes."
Cecil reminded, "I heard that many people of status will be there tonight. Pay more attention to Duke Lu Xia's safety. It's best not to eat anything that has been eaten."
Smelian knew that this was Cecil's kind reminder, "Okay, I will pay more attention."
Cecil nodded, without saying much, and went upstairs directly. Smelian watched his back as he left. He saw Cecil's transformation during this period of time and knew very well the purpose of Cecil's doing so.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong. Facing a female mistress like Lu Xia, who could not be moved?
He came here this way, so how could he not understand what Cecil wanted to do at this time?
But he would not interfere. Lu Xia had her own right to choose.
Whether it was him, Cecil, or even Grace, whoever Lu Xia wanted to be with, they had no right to stop.
Just as he was thinking this, Lu Xia, wearing a white long dress, walked slowly down from upstairs. Under the light, she was as beautiful as a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world. At this moment, Smelian couldn't help thinking that if one day he could have a wedding with Lu Xia, Lu Xia in a white veil would definitely be extraordinarily beautiful.
