Although there were constant turmoil in the city during this period, the marriage of the big family has always involved many forces, and it will not be easily canceled and postponed. Therefore, in this bloody autumn, a grand wedding is coming as scheduled.

Yu Fu was very surprised that he would receive the invitation. After all, although the Howard family is not as good as the Westminster family, their status is not far behind in the aristocratic circle of the Witlands city. The VIP invitation letter sent out, I'm afraid there is credit for Simon's matchmaking.

The day before the wedding, Yu Fu received a strange invitation from Simon.

"Single carnival night?" Yu Fu raised his voice and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Am I considered single?"

Simon slapped his forehead angrily: "Hey! It's all because you are too young, and I often forget that you are married and have children."

Yu Fu smiled and was personable.

Simon glanced at him again, focused on his handsome face, licked his lips for a while, tangled up, and slapped his thigh: "Forget it! Isn't a single father also single!" Then he was about to pull him out.

Yu Fu was overwhelmed by his divine logic, and he didn't know what to say about him. He covered his forehead and said helplessly, "Isn't there a curfew recently?"

Simon waved his hand, not paying attention at all: "It doesn't matter, what are our identities, they will just turn a blind eye."

Yu Fu thought of Oston's unkind black face. That guy doesn't care who you are, and he will arrest you when you meet him. He doesn't want to make trouble with him recently, for fear that that person will trouble him, so he wants to struggle: "In case of danger?"

Simon: "Don't worry, each of us has brought guards, just in case the pervert won't come! Besides..." At this point, he kept a secret and smiled mysteriously, "Guess who else I invited?"

Yu Fu gave him face: "...Harris?"

Simon clicked his tongue, with an expression on his face that you were guessing, "How could it be him, that guy has become neurotic since his finger was cut off, do you want him to spoil the scenery?"

Yu Fu raised his eyebrows, thinking that you can recognize me as him, which shows that the relationship between you two is not bad, so it's not good to say that friends are not good, but he only complains in his heart and won't say it out.

No matter who Simon is, he can tell what he is thinking with just one glance, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a nonchalant smile: "Do you think I'm heartless?

Yu Fu smiled and said nothing.

Simon also laughed, and his eyes were inexplicably sincere: "This circle is like this. When you are in power, the stars are all over the moon and the scenery is infinite. When you lose power, everyone pushes you back. But you can rest assured about me, I sincerely regard you as a friend." He said He paused for a while, squinting his eyes to look like a fox wagging its big tail, "Because when I first saw you, I thought you were very special, very special..."

Yu Fu nodded politely: "This is my honor."

Simon leaned back, his eyes gleaming with pride: "Then let's reveal the answer—I also invited...Auston."

Yu Fu was startled: "Huh?" Thinking about it, Auston would ruthlessly refuse with a cold face.

Simon was actually a little embarrassed, touched his nose uncomfortably, and whispered: "Well... because I have always regarded him as the best candidate for my brother-in-law, and I want to take this opportunity to have a good chat with him."

Yu Fu couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his thumb: "Great!"

Simon suddenly became excited, sat up straight and danced with hands and feet: "But he agreed, I didn't expect it!"

Yu Fu had an inscrutable smile on his face, hehe, don't be too happy, the guy agreed, maybe he was planning something.

Yu Fu finally knew why Simon insisted on dragging him to some so-called singles carnival night. Seeing the girls who came for him and kept being crazy about him, he had the illusion of being forced to laugh.

He glanced at the other side of the dance floor. At this moment, the two brothers put their arms on Henry Howard, the protagonist of this time, and seemed to be talking to him earnestly. Henry hung his head without saying a word, his face There was no sense of joy about becoming a groom, but a slight melancholy.

In the marriage of a big family, the bride is chosen by the elders, even if it is not what he wants, he can't help himself.

Auston's face suddenly appeared in his mind, whether his life trajectory was also delineated, and whether a person like him would follow silently or stand up to resist.

Tsk, thinking that that man would also marry another woman, I felt a little inexplicably irritated for no reason.

Yu Fu shook his head, throwing all his thoughts out of his mind.

Holding the wine glass gracefully, he politely declined a few girls who came to invite him to dance with blushing faces, and was just about to find an inconspicuous corner to sit, when there was someone else beside him.

Yu Fu tilted his head, and the handsome face that was lingering in his mind just now became solid, it was Auston.

He didn't wear a military uniform today, but wore a coat of the same color as Yu Fu's, with the same frilly white shirt underneath, short hair loosely loose, deep eyebrows and eyes, a little less sharp than before, but handsome as always.

Auston also looked over, and the two eyes crossed in the air, sparking a spark invisible to others, but it was only for a moment, and a decent smile appeared on Yu Fu's face, as if the confrontation between the two had never existed before. .

Yu Fu raised his glass: "We meet again, what a coincidence."

Auston raised his glass and touched him lightly, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch: "It's a coincidence."

Yu Fu could hear the sarcasm in his voice, he didn't take it seriously at all, and even went so far, his eyes glanced at his clothes, and he smiled inexplicably: "We are really destined."

The two of them stood outside the crowd, as if they were also standing in another distant time and space, where the noise and passion were separated by an invisible barrier, creating a space for them to be alone.

Yu Fu asked with a half-smile: "How can a busy man have time to play with these rascals? Could it be that he is afraid that his subordinates are not smart enough, so he specially came to monitor me personally?"

Auston didn't look sideways, and took a sip of his wine lightly: "Your Excellency is too self-indulgent."

The two of them fought each other, and the crowd not far away was fighting for wine. It was unknown who lost, and was fined another drink after being booed by everyone.

I don't know who started it first, the two chatted intermittently about other topics, Yu Fu seemed to casually mention new weapons, although he didn't have much knowledge about thermal weapons in his mind, but he couldn't help but have a question With a rotten tongue, he eloquently introduced modern firearms with incomparable power, which aroused Auston's great interest.

There seemed to be light shining in Oston's eyes, and ripples appeared on the surface of the blue lake: "You mean a new type of rifle, which has an aiming device, can load several ammunition at the same time, and has rifling inside to guide the bullets. Stabilize flight, improve accuracy and lethality?"

Yu Fu didn't expect his reaction to be so big, so he blinked and said tactfully, "Eh...these are just my preliminary ideas, and I haven't been able to realize it yet..."

Auston was not shocked at all. He watched him and said excitedly: "If there is such a rifle, does it mean that our army can be invincible on the battlefield and allow more soldiers to survive?"

"No." Yu Fu shook his head with a smile, and said softly, "This will bring about more and more brutal wars, more innocent people will die, and more civilians will lose their homes."

His expression was gentle and compassionate, his handsome facial features glistened under the candlelight, and his downcast eyes seemed to have an inexplicable meaning, which inexplicably made his beauty a bit fragile.

Alston stared at him intently. For some reason, a strange emotion flashed in his heart. He didn't know what it was, but felt his heart was scratched by something.

The passionate singles carnival night is over, the libertines are drunk and taken home by their own guards, Yu Fu looks at Auston who is going out together beside him, they get along unexpectedly harmoniously tonight, as if they have never confronted each other.

Oston saw that Eden was empty, and he didn't look like someone was coming to pick him up. He frowned: "You came alone?"

Yu Fu spread his hands: "Otherwise?"

Auston didn't understand: "Why didn't you bring a guard? There was no carriage to pick you up?"

Yu Fu's expression was quite natural, without the slightest guilt of opening his eyes and talking nonsense: "I'm a small family, please excuse me."

Auston seemed to want to roll his eyes at him, but because of his identity, he held back and strode towards him helplessly. After walking past him for a few steps, he turned around and asked impatiently when he saw that no one was following him, "Let's go? "

Yu Fu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "Shall we drop by?"

Auston didn't bother to answer him, he stood on the ground and looked over expressionlessly, as if if Yu Fu didn't follow, he wouldn't leave.

Yu Fu held back his smile and followed, his mood suddenly became particularly good for some reason.

The two walked in front of each other, two steps apart, and no one spoke a word, walking silently on the silent night street.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, Yu Fu began to feel unnatural, his lips opened and closed but he didn't know what to say, he gritted his teeth after a while and said to Auston's back, "Your Excellency is not planning to send me home, is it?"

Auston snorted.

Yu Fu laughed and teased: "I seem to remember that just a few days ago, a certain adult suspected that I was a murderer."

Auston's footsteps were stagnant, and he still didn't turn his head, but his tone was righteous: "Until there is no definite evidence, you are a citizen of Wetlands and should be protected."

Hearing this sentence, Yu Fu secretly laughed in his heart, this deadly tsundere, he pressed his smile to the bottom of his tongue: "You send me back, what should I do?"

Auston: "I brought someone and hid in the dark."

Yu Fu: "..."

It was the first time for Yu Fu to feel that time passed so fast, not long after he saw the neighborhood where he lived, and when he turned the corner, he was facing the gate of his house.

Oston stopped in his tracks, watching the man walking towards the door, getting farther and farther away, a voice in his heart was clamoring, wanting to stop him, want him to turn around, and take another look at himself.

Am I crazy, he thought mockingly.

Suddenly, the man turned around.

With half of Yu Fu's face hidden in the shadow of the eaves, he said to the people standing there: "Are you going home?"

Auston thought of what he was going to do next, and he found a random reason: "No, I still have things to go around."

Yu Fu suddenly realized that this guy's idea tonight was to cosplay the late drunk, and use himself as a bait to lure the murderous maniac.

Yu Fu groped, fishing and law enforcement.

But according to his abilities, there shouldn't be any danger, Yu Fu rolled his eyes and smiled straight into his eyes: "Thank you for taking me home, and..." He licked his lips, "Be careful, go home early." Said Without waiting for anyone to respond, he opened the door and walked in.

Auston was still standing there in a daze, recalling his last sentence over and over again. In his memory, no one except his sister told him to pay attention to safety and go home early.

The face of that person kept flashing in his mind, the glimpse on the day of triumph, the amazing misidentification at the masquerade ball, or the day of hunting, that person stood in front of him with a casual smile , said to him: "I just want to make friends with you."

Countless people have said this sentence to him, one is more sincere than the other, but none of them is as impressive as this man's obviously perfunctory words.

The scenes in the prison began to replay before his eyes. The man grabbed his hand forcefully, wanting him to feel the beating of the heart under his hand. Every now and then, everything hit his heart, bewitching him to fall into an unknown trap. , beyond redemption.

And today's uncontrollable approach...

Auston stopped quietly, his brows furrowed and then relaxed, and he came back to his senses after a long time. He clicked his tongue angrily, and secretly made up his mind that it would be better to have less contact with this person in the future.

Another night of calm.

Due to the recent disaster, the wedding was held early, but because the family was too big and there were too many procedures, it was full of budgets, and it was night after the dance.Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the guests while enjoying themselves, the Howard family contracted almost all the carriages in the city to pick up and drop off the invited guests.

After a busy day, the guests of honor were exhausted, and it was time for the dance to relax.

Yu Fu watched Lilith and her little playmate Sylvia go to eat cake hand in hand, and waved her goodbye fondly. There is a sense of relief as an old father.

He turned around, and saw a girl standing in front of Oston not far away. The girl was very beautiful, she was talking to him with her head up and smiling, but Oston, an incomprehensible guy, had eyes It didn't fall on her, just nodded perfunctorily.

Simon, who was beside Yu Fu, bumped into his shoulder, with a look of disgust on his face: "See, that guy's ruthlessness is simply outrageous."

Which pot does Yu Fu not open and which pot to lift: "Didn't you say that he is the best candidate for your brother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Simon's face immediately wrinkled, distorted more than eating a ton of sour lemons, and he said with lingering fear: "You know, I just made a start that day, and this guy immediately cast a murderous look, which made me feel scared." Shocked, I swallowed all the words that followed."

He sighed for a while, kept looking at Yu Fu's face, and said, "If you really can't find any other suitable ones, I think you can make do with it..."

Yu Fu was shocked, "No, for your sister's happiness, you must not force it."

The two of them were joking around here, but the girl over there didn't get a response for a long time, and the disappointment on her face was about to overflow, she turned and ran away with red eyes.

Simon was categorical: "Look, Auston is destined to die alone." He just finished speaking, and saw the partner next to him pass by with a glass of wine, and raised his hand, "Hello..."

Yu Fu walked slowly in front of Auston, "Your Excellency is really puzzled."

Auston looked at him indifferently and didn't speak.

The two stared at each other silently, as if secretly competing, neither of them would look away first, those who didn't know thought they were staring at each other affectionately.

Suddenly, Yu Fu's legs tightened, and a leg pendant hugged him.

Lilith looked up at him, and said crisply: "Father."

Yu Fu was stunned for three seconds. Although she said they were father and daughter, Lilith always called him by his name directly. This was the first time she called him father, and she called him so sincerely.

"Ah... hey." Yu Fu responded dully, "Have you finished eating the cake?"

Lilith nodded and looked at Oston, her big amber eyes were full of innocence and curiosity: "Who is this uncle?"

Yu Fu felt uncomfortable for some reason, "Ah, this is the Viscount Alston I told you about."

Lilith let go of her hand, lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to Alston seriously: "Hello, Viscount."

Auston nodded and asked Yu Fu, "Is this your daughter?"

Yu Fu smiled awkwardly, felt his throat dry for no reason, and said bravely, "Yeah."

Alston stopped talking, looking at the same amber eyes of the two, for no reason, he found that he seemed a little unhappy and a little bit disappointed.

"Dad, the dim sum over there is very delicious, I'll take you there." Lilith held Yu Fu's hand, her face full of expectation.

Yu Fu only had time to nod to Auston before being dragged to the other side by the little girl.

Lilith lowered her eyes. Although she was young, she was much more mature and sensitive than her peers. Just now when she saw Iden standing with the viscount, she felt inexplicably flustered. One of her favorite candies was about to The sense of crisis of being snatched away.

At this time, in the garden outside the banquet hall, Isabella squatted under a laurel tree, her face was buried in the fluffy skirt, her shoulders kept shrugging, obviously crying, and her maid stood aside, unable to stop. advise her.

"Miss, the viscount is just busy with business recently, it's not that he doesn't like you, don't be sad, when he is free, you can get in touch with him, you are so beautiful and kind, he will definitely fall in love with you."

Isabella covered her face with her hands, and she couldn't stop crying in her voice: "No, he doesn't like me at all, and he doesn't even want to look at me more."

The maid was distressed and helpless, and tried to persuade her, "It's really not possible, you can also consider other people. There are so many handsome and outstanding people in the city. If you think about it, you will definitely find a better one."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, a male voice rang out, "Yes, there are so many people who are better than him, why don't you consider others."

The two girls were surprised at the same time, "Who?!"

Nick Wilson came out of the shadows slowly, with a weird smile on his face: "Isabella, my favorite girl, why would you rather follow that person's back than keep your eyes on me , even just for a second? Huh?"

Isabella stood up and timidly hid behind the maid: "Wilson, why are you here?"

Wilson stared at her closely, gradually revealing a paranoid smile...

The dance was still going on, and everyone spun skillfully and gracefully to the dance music, but in the middle of exchanging partners, a heart-piercing scream was heard at the same time.
