Chapter 188 Shock.
"Yes, Madam Dana has a wide network of contacts." Lu Xia agreed with Smelian's words, "Today I know how wide Madam Dana's network of contacts is. I was really dwarfed by her before."
Simon whispered, "When the old Queen was selecting candidates for the Queen of the Princes, she did consider Madam Dana. But later, the current Queen took the lead and eventually became the new Queen, but Madam Dana is still deeply supported and loved by the people."
Lu Xia didn't expect that Madam Dana and Her Majesty the Queen actually had such a relationship.
Seeing that Lu Xia seemed a little curious, Simon smiled and said, "I have a lot of such secrets. If Your Excellency the Duke likes, I can tell you more when I have time."
"Okay, tell me when you have time." Lu Xia responded, "I am indeed quite interested."
After all, who doesn't have a gossipy heart.
Smelian glanced at the delighted Simon and said nothing more.
As for why Simon knew so much, he didn't ask much, of course he had his own way.
Besides, he had heard a little about Simon. This guy was able to break away from the Earl Li's Mansion and get the inheritance of the former female mother. He was a capable person. It was also said that he had his own information channels and could obtain a lot of information. It was not surprising that he knew some secrets.
Lu Xia ate something and rested for a while. His condition was visibly better.
Cecil came over after following Mrs. Dana to socialize. He sat directly next to Lu Xia and asked, "Sister, you have worked hard tonight. You must be very tired. I just agreed with my mother that we can leave first."
Lu Xia pushed the food to his side and said, "You should also eat something and take a rest. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
Cecil took a piece of bread and ate it slowly: "Sister, do you know that they look at me with envy. I know what they are thinking. They must envy me for having such a good female master like you, but they just think that they can't get your love, right?"
Lu Xia looked at Cecil, who raised his chin slightly and looked proud.
At this moment, he was like a cat showing off its treasure, noble and beautiful, so that Lu Xia couldn't help but touch his face gently and responded: "Well, you are right!"
Cecil was extremely happy to get a positive answer, and then he hugged Lu Xia intimately and said coquettishly: "I like my sister the most, and my sister treats me the best."
After that, he glanced at Simon where Lu Xia couldn't see.
Simon raised his eyebrows and turned his head away as if he didn't know that this was a provocation, especially with the meaning of out of sight, out of mind.
Smellian did not participate in the undercurrent of the two people, standing aside, drinking the wine in his glass nonchalantly.
Mrs. Rafaelde was also invited tonight. As Smellian's mother, she was showing her social skills and was active at the scene.
In fact, through the marriage with Duke Luxia, Mrs. Rafaelde has made many friends and gained a lot of benefits from it. This is the result she wanted to get when she gave Smellian to Duke Luxia. Now the Rafaelde family has even received a hundred times more than expected.
The banquet lasted until late at night. It was already very late when Lu Xia and the other two left. Mrs. Dana originally wanted Lu Xia to stay at home for one night.
Lu Xia knew that his physical condition was not suitable for living outside, so he refused.
Along the way, Simon was a little surprised that Cecil and Smelian paid special attention to Lu Xia's health. When they returned to the hovercraft, Simon took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong with the Duke?"
Facing Simon's question, Cecil and Smelian did not answer, but Lu Xia smiled and replied: "Nothing special, it's just that I'm pregnant now, and they are more worried."
This sentence made Simon's pupils shrink suddenly. He looked at Lu Xia in surprise, and couldn't believe what he heard.
What do you mean nothing special, just pregnant?
Is pregnancy what he thought?
Can females get pregnant naturally?
Why has he never heard of such big news?
There was no movement from the Institute of Biology!
Seeing his unbelievable look, Cecil proudly stretched out his legs and raised his chin slightly: "It's Smelian's cub."
Cecil spoke arrogantly as if the cub was his, causing Smelian to look at him, wondering what he was proud of.
Simon seemed to have found his voice again after a long while: "You can conceive naturally, right?"
Since Lu Xia had already said that she was pregnant, she had no intention of hiding it any longer and said frankly: "Yes, but this news is not public yet. The Institute of Biology does not know about it. You are living in the Duke's Mansion now and you will know it sooner or later, so I didn't hide it from you."
Simon nodded: "I know what you mean. I won't tell outsiders. Then can I understand that Little Grape is also yours and Grace's..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xia already understood what he meant and nodded: "Yes, Little Grape is also my child."
Simon was in a trance for a moment.
He really couldn't believe that all this was true. Duke Lu Xia could actually conceive naturally. He knew very well that once the news that Duke Lu Xia could conceive naturally was exposed, it would cause a sensation. He couldn't even imagine it. Subconsciously, he looked at Lu Xia's abdomen. Because Lu Xia was wearing loose clothes, he couldn't actually see anything, but he knew very well that a new life had been bred there.
On the way home afterwards, Simon was very quiet, as if he was trying his best to digest the news. He couldn't help but wonder if Duke Luxia could give birth to a cub for him one day?
As a defective product, he had lost his right to be a male father. Now that he had become a gene fusionist, he had never imagined that he could have the opportunity to become a male father. After all, his identity was just a male servant.
But now Luxia could get pregnant naturally, and she didn't even reject giving birth to cubs with defective males or male servants, so he couldn't help but wonder if he also had such an opportunity. He was particularly excited to know that he would become a male father one day. He
also regretted that he came to Duke Luxia so late, even though they had the same starting point.
He looked at Smelian with some envy.
Although Smelian didn't say much along the way, he knew very well that Smelian's existence had been recognized by Luxia.
He had truly received the favor of Duke Luxia.
No wonder Cecil would reject him so much. If it were him, he probably wouldn't want to have another competitor before he had achieved results.
Smelian didn't pay attention to the subtle competition between Simon and Cecil at the moment.
He let Lu Xia lean on his arms and let her feel as comfortable as possible. When they returned home, the old housekeeper prepared a hangover soup for them and asked Lu Xia if she had eaten enough for dinner and if she needed the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack.
Lu Xia said she needed to eat something else, so the old housekeeper thoughtfully prepared a bowl of wontons for her, which Lu Xia liked very much, as a midnight snack.
