The Duke's little ancestor slipped away again

Female guest: "Have you heard? Although the child has been born, the Duke has not yet had a wedding."

Female Guest B: "Aren't you already engaged? Getting married is just a matter of time."

Female guest B: "It's just an engagement. Have you not seen many cancellations of engagements?"

Female Binding: "I believe that in this world, if the Duke is willing to nod, people who are willing to give him children will be lined up to the end of the world."

Female Binjia: “I really don’t know what’s so good about this woman.”

Female Guest B: "Have you seen her? I don't think I've ever seen her attend any events."

"Come to the banquet, but talk about the host of the banquet behind his back. Is this the family upbringing of a lady from an aristocratic family?"

Luo You, who came out for some air, hated the so-called superior people like them the most.

"Eavesdropping on people's conversations behind their backs doesn't seem to be a noble education."

"I don't want to be a lady. I just need to be well-educated. You don't care as much whether I'm noble or not."

"Luo You! I searched the hall but couldn't find you. So you are here."

Keane walked over with long legs.

"Mr. Keane."

"Mr. Keane."

……

"Ah."

In front of outsiders, Keane returned to his aloof and arrogant appearance.

Knowing the relationship between Keen and the Duke, several women did not dare to gossip anymore and could only find excuses to leave in despair.

"People act like dogs in front of others, but they behave like dogs behind others."

"Are you talking about me or them?"

"What do you think?"

Not wanting to entangle more, Luo You turned around and prepared to leave.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Keen raised his hand to block her way.

"Out of sight out of mind."

"Do I disgust you so much?"

"I can't say I hate it, I just don't like it."

There is no way to remain friends with someone you really like.

"Do you not like it or do you dare not like it?"

"Mr. Keane's question is really interesting. The provoking method is of no use to me. If I have this time, I might as well go and have a drink. Believe me, today's wine will be mellow and rich."

"The injury is not healed, Ryan won't allow me to drink."

"Looking at your glowing face, I guess the injury is almost healed. Besides - are you such an obedient person?"

Luo You pushed away the arm in front of him and planned to sit in the empty pavilion behind.

"This beautiful lady, I wonder if I would be honored to sit with you?"

A greasy man with a slicked back hair came over.

"inconvenient."

Luo You refused.

"It doesn't look like the lady is waiting for someone."

Although he had been rejected, the man still sat down.

"I don't plan on fishing here either."

Still a greasy fat-headed fish.

"You talk very interestingly. I like your straightforward character."

"There are many people who like me. Who do you think is the oldest?"

Luo You was in a bad mood, so Luo You didn't intend to accept compliments from others.

"But how do you know I won't stand out among the crowd?"

"Because she is not someone you can miss."

Keen came over and sat directly next to Luo You.

"Since the famous flower has an owner, I won't disturb you two."

When the man saw that the visitor was wearing a suit handmade in Italy and exuding a noble aura that kept strangers away from him, he decisively gave up his plan to pick up girls.

"Aren't you usually very talkative?"

"You take care too much."

"This kind of person is not suitable for you."

"Well, you're not suitable for me either, so don't bother me again."

Just looking at his peach blossom eyes once was enough to arouse the love that he had struggled to suppress.

"Whether it's suitable or not is not up to you alone."

Luo You's figure disappeared around the corner, leaving only a trace of her slightly panicked look in Keen's eyes.

"Master, madam, you are here."

The old housekeeper who was helping to welcome guests at the door looked at Jerry Merwin and Alice in surprise as they appeared together arm in arm.

"What? I can't come to my grandson's 100-day banquet?"

"Of course. It's just that I haven't seen you and my wife attend the banquet together for a long time. I just miss you a little."

The madam doesn't seem to be rejecting her. Could it be that she has reconciled?

"Butler, are Mu Yatou and Tangtang down?"

Alice was said to be a little embarrassed. After all, the housekeeper knew what the relationship between her and Jerry was like before. It was indeed a bit surprising to appear together arm in arm.

"The banquet is about to start. It should be ready."

The butler looked at the time on his wrist.

"Then we won't go up, so as not to delay their coming down."

Jerry patted Alice's hand and looked at her with much gentler eyes.

"it is good."

"Mr. Duke?"

At the VIP table, an older man stood up and walked over.

"What? Do you need to be so surprised to see me?"

"You haven't attended events for a long time."

"You guys chat, I'll go up and see Mu Yatou."

"it is good."

Alice nodded politely to the man and left.

"It looks a little different today."

"When I was young, I was confused. Now that I am sober, I naturally have to cherish what I have in front of me."

"Although it is reasonable for Alice to accept you again, it is still a bit unexpected."

"How are you doing, Manha? I heard that the recent auction didn't go well."

"Yes, the first bid for the government land is ideal. No, I want to take advantage of today's occasion to have a good chat with Vaughn."

The man named Manha smiled bitterly.

"If you approach Vaughn about these matters, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble."

"why?"

"Don't say that your old friend won't help you. Over there... did you see the man with gold-rimmed glasses? He might be able to give you some guidance."

Following Jerry's line of sight, Manha saw Bourne chatting and laughing among the crowd, and the familiar-looking woman beside him.

"Doctor Ruan Jing, is it really you?"

"you are?"

"I'm Manha. You were the one who performed my wife's heart surgery last year. I heard that it disturbed your holiday life. I'm really sorry."

"Mr. Manha, you're welcome. This is my job."

She has performed surgeries on many people, and many people have disturbed her vacation. Therefore, Ruan Jing really has no impression of this Manha, but now that people have mentioned it, she can't be cold.

"Who is this?"

Manha looked at Bourne, who was wearing gold glasses next to Ruan Jing.

"My boyfriend - Bourne."

"Mr. Byrne, it's a pleasure to meet you. With such an outstanding girlfriend, Mr. Byrne must be also very outstanding."

"Manha—Chairman of Harman International, has been called a dark horse in the construction industry in recent years."

Byrne identified him directly.

"It's all just praise from people in the industry."

"Mr. Manha is being too modest. If it's for the government land, for Uncle Mowen's sake, I advise you to give up. Our Art Empire has already participated in the bidding."

Bourne noticed Jerry and Alice when they came in, so he knew the reason why Manha came without having to guess.

"Bourne, it's almost time, let's go there."
