Chapter 159 informed.
Dinner was the lamb that Cecil brought back.
After being cooked and roasted by the chef, the whole roasted lamb was served in golden color. The color was fresh and delicious, and it looked very tempting.
However, Lu Xia frowned after smelling it, and covered his mouth with some disgust.
Seeing this, Smellian hurriedly asked: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing this, Cecil looked over with confusion in his eyes, not understanding what was wrong with Lu Xia.
Lu Xia smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I can't seem to eat this."
Cecil heard the words and asked nervously for no reason: "What's wrong?"
Smellian looked at Cecil with a tense expression: "Xia Xia is in a special body now, and can't eat these greasy things. Let's eat. Butler, ask the kitchen to make something light for Xia Xia."
The butler hurriedly responded and quickly went to the kitchen to tell the chef to prepare.
Smellian looked at Cecil, who was sitting there quietly and looking lonely, and explained after a moment of hesitation: "Xia Xia is pregnant now, and she is sensitive to the smell of some food. Don't take it seriously."
Cecil suddenly looked up at Smellian, his eyes full of disbelief. He couldn't believe what he heard. Then he looked at Lu Xia.
Lu Xia looked normal. Obviously, what Smellian said didn't shock her. So it was possible that what he heard was not an illusion. He just couldn't believe it and said as if to confirm: "You...what did you say?"
Looking at Lu Xia, he still couldn't be sure what he heard, his blue eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
Smellian held Lu Xia's hand and spoke again: "Xia Xia is pregnant, it's my child."
"How is this possible?" Cecil looked at Lu Xia, and felt that his beliefs were overturned at this moment. There are really females in the empire who can conceive naturally. Is Duke Lu Xia a female who can conceive naturally?
"The little grapes are also..."
Lu Xia nodded: "This news has not been made public yet, please keep it a secret for me, Cecil."
"Of course, of course it must be kept secret, I just didn't think of it for a while, I... I just need to calm down."
He took the wine glass and drank a sip a little helplessly, as if to suppress the panic in his heart, but he couldn't control his shocked emotions at all. He couldn't help but glance at Lu Xia's abdomen blocked by the table. He really couldn't believe that a little life had been bred there.
No wonder everyone in the family except him has paid special attention to Lu Xia recently, and Smelian always said that Duke Lu Xia has a special body. It turns out that this is the reason.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Since you can't eat these, don't eat them. Let the kitchen make you something lighter. I don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't bring this back."
"I know, Cecil, don't be nervous, it's just that I can't eat it, you can still eat it, this looks really good."
Lu Xia smiled and comforted Cecil. She could see that the young male's cheeks were red because of nervousness and panic, and he looked very helpless.
Soon, the old housekeeper asked the kitchen to cook lean meat porridge for Lu Xia.
Cecil looked at Lu Xia, his heart still restless. The dinner he had been looking forward to was now tasteless.
Smellian didn't say anything else. He knew very well that the shock Cecil had caused by this news would take a long time to calm down. After all, that's how he went through it.
After dinner, Smellian accompanied Lu Xia back to the room. Cecil sat alone at the dining table, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and looked a little confused.
After a long time, he looked at the old housekeeper beside him and couldn't help but said, "When I first came to this family, did you think I was a fool?"
The old housekeeper lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, just said: "You just don't understand Duke Lu Xia."
"Yes, I don't understand her, but I defined her without authorization."
Cecil laughed sarcastically, but then he thought of Duke Lu Xia's promise tonight, which made him feel less uncomfortable, and gently raised the corners of his lips: "Sister, she is really kind."
Suddenly hearing this "sister", the old housekeeper subconsciously glanced at Cecil, not sure what he just heard.
Did Cecil just call Duke Lu Xia sister?
It's really a special name.
At this time, Smelian and Lu Xia were lying on the bed, and he turned over and put Lu Xia in his arms.
Lu Xia turned her back to him and felt the warmth behind her, so she said, "What's wrong, Smelian?"
"Xia Xia, do you like Cecil more?"
Lu Xia was slightly startled and asked puzzledly, "Why do you think so, Smelian?"
Smelian hugged Lu Xia tightly, put his chin on her shoulder and rubbed it, "Although Cecil is young, very naive, and immature in doing things, he is silly and a little cute. Will Xia Xia have sympathy for him?"
Lu Xia did not expect that the gentle Smelian would think so much. She smiled in her eyes, "Smelian, are you jealous?"
The man holding her was silent for a while: "Yeah."
Feeling that Smelian was a little lonely at this moment, Lu Xia turned around and hugged Smelian, "Cecil is a little silly, but Smelian is also special. To me, you are all different, Smelian, when I am with you, I will not think about other people, so don't think too much."
As she said this, she gently patted Smelian's back to comfort him.
The female's words were always very gentle, and she could always give him a sense of security at the first time, making him feel that even if Lu Xia could not belong to him completely, he was unique to Lu Xia.
In fact, he did not have such a serious rejection and jealousy towards Cecil. He said these words tonight just to make Lu Xia care more about him. It was a little trick of the male.
Now that he got what he wanted, and even Lu Xia gave him more in return, Smelian felt warm and satisfied in his heart. He hugged Lu Xia and kissed her lips gently.
Lu Xia was slightly stunned, but did not escape. Instead, she took the initiative to cater to him, which gave Smelian more confidence.
The next morning, Smelian accompanied Lu Xia to meet the protectors arranged for her.
The leader was still the tall male that Smelian had met at No. 19 Nanxi Road that day. The other party was called Tucker.
Tucker was a little excited when he saw Lu Xia. They had followed Grace for many years, so they naturally knew that Grace now had a female master who treated him very well, but they had always heard about it. This was the first time they saw the real person, so it was inevitable that their emotions fluctuated, but they did a good job of not showing it.
Lu Xia was a little surprised when she saw the three tall males who suddenly appeared in front of her. Just by looking at their body shapes, it was not difficult to see that these three were very strong. She really didn't expect that Smelian could find such males to secretly protect her.
It seems that no one in the family can be underestimated. Lu Xia smiled faintly at the three people, as a greeting.
The three did not expect that Duke Lu Xia would actually greet them. You know, the females of the empire never look at them straight in the eye, let alone say hello.
For a moment, they actually understood why Grace was so devoted to his female master.
If they had such a female master, they would do the same, or even better!
