High Ridge Flower Rescue Project

Chapter 24 Rescuing the Bankrupt Prince

When Xi Hua woke up, it was almost completely dark.

Sitting up in a daze, clutching his forehead, his head was still a little dazed.

How long have you been sleeping?

It's the second day?

What about Shen Yuanyan?Why didn't you come over and call him.

At this time, the yellowish light came on.

Xi Hua subconsciously covered her eyes, then raised her head and saw Shen Yuanyan's cold and handsome face.

"Wake up? I'm going to reheat the food."

Under the warm yellow light of the floor lamp, even Shen Yuanyan's voice became gentle.

Xi Hua nodded foolishly.

After Shen Yuanyan left, Xi Hua suddenly thought of a question, could Shen Yuanyan wait until he didn't eat after cooking?

He patted his head in frustration, he shouldn't have stayed up late yesterday to play games!

While thinking, Xi Hua got up and walked towards the kitchen.

When Shen Yuanyan heard the movement, he turned his head slightly and glanced, "Wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."

Xi Hua quickly shook his head, "It's okay, there's no rush."

After a pause, Xi Hua asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you call me when you finished?"

"You were asleep by then."

"Oh." Xi Hua replied dryly.

He leaned against the door frame and looked at Shen Yuanyan who was wearing home clothes and an apron around his waist.

Take a look.

Can't help but take another look.

Then 1 and [-] self-doubt.

What did Shen Yuanyan, who is so perfect in everything, fancy him?

"I'll serve it!"

Seeing that Shen Yuanyan was almost finished, Xi Hua quickly took over the work of serving the dishes.

After all, doing nothing would make him feel guilty...

Shen Yuanyan didn't fight him this time.

After a while, the two sat quietly at the dining table.

Xi Hua looked at the dishes on the table, although his stomach was growling with hunger, he didn't dare to take the chopsticks first.

So let’s talk about him, he’s really big when he’s bold, and he’s really small when he’s timid...

"Why don't you eat?"

Shen Yuanyan picked up the chopsticks, raised his eyes and said, "These are the dishes you liked more before."

Xi Hua thought to himself, it's not because you are scared.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a few mouthfuls of rice.

"Eat slowly and eat more vegetables."

Shen Yuanyan looked at Xi Hua and couldn't help but sigh.

This is really how to say.

Sometimes it's as dull as something, and sometimes it's even more sensitive than a small animal.

I haven't done anything yet, I just got a little cold, and I was so scared.

......

Xi Hua felt that the meal was serious and nervous, and it was obviously his favorite dish, so he was full after just a few mouthfuls.

He could obviously add three bowls of rice instead of the usual one!

Xi Hua sat aside and touched his stomach very sadly.

It’s okay to eat less today, the key is to feel bloated.

"That," Xi Hua asked with great embarrassment, "do you have Xiaoshi tablets at home?"

Shen Yuanyan happened to walk over with a cup of hot water, and frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Stomach is uncomfortable?"

Xi Hua nodded, "It's a little swollen, as if it's full."

Shen Yuanyan frowned even tighter, after all, Xi Hua didn't eat a few mouthfuls at all tonight.

"Let's call a doctor to take a look." As he spoke, he was about to take out his mobile phone.

Xi Hua hurriedly stopped him, wanting to cry without tears: "It's really unnecessary! It's actually not that uncomfortable, I just rub it myself..."

It's still raining outside, so it's not a big deal for me, there's really no need to mobilize the crowd.

Shen Yuanyan: "Really?"

Xi Hua nodded quickly, afraid that the call would be called out if he was a second late, "Really."

Shen Yuan said, "Then I'll rub it for you."

......

So, finally,

Xi Hua was pillowed on her boyfriend's lap, and when her stomach was rubbed, she fell into deep thought again.

How did it develop into the current situation?

But it seemed to be quite comfortable——Xi Hua struggled for a moment, and resolutely gave up the struggle, his whole body was like a cat lying flat with its belly exposed.

Where Xi Hua didn't notice, Shen Yuanyan's Adam's apple moved slightly.

"Is it better now?"

Shen Yuanyan's hand was warm and the strength was just right.After throwing away that bit of shame, if it wasn't for maintaining his last bit of dignity, Xi Hua would have wanted to snort twice.

"Um--"

The lazy and soft tone is more like a purring kitten.

Shen Yuanyan instantly felt like a shit-shoveling officer who worked so hard to win the favor of his cat owner.

He remembered the first time he saw Xi Hua in the ward, when Xi Hua was still careful to curry favor with him.

What did I think at that time, a gentle and smart Labrador?

It is obviously a persian cat who is arrogant, sensitive, and greedy for pleasure.

Xi Hua didn't know that his image in Shen Yuanyan's heart had undergone a change from a dog to a cat, not a human being anyway.Otherwise, he could show Shen Yuanyan what it means to be moody and break up on the spot.

He squinted and looked at Shen Yuanyan's chin for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

"There will be an opera festival ball in a few days, you can go with me." Xi Hua yawned, "Little aunt gave me the invitation letter a long time ago, and I never remembered it."

This opera festival ball was originally created to hold a music festival, but it has been handed down for so many years, and it has already become a social venue for political and business celebrities and dignitaries from all walks of life.

Xi Hua himself has no interest in this kind of occasion, after all, he has everything now.

But Shen Yuanyan was different.

Although Shen Yuanyan is just beginning to make his mark in the financial world, if he were to rely on himself, he might still be a long way from this ball.

After all, this is one of the top banquets in the world.

And if Shen Yuanyan can get in touch with this ball in advance, the benefits will be self-evident.

Among the political and business leaders from all walks of life, getting acquainted with a few is enough to benefit endlessly.

"it is good."

Shen Yuanyan responded.

After all, no matter from which aspect, he has no reason to refuse.

......

The ball is held at the famous Silvermoon Castle.

The castle was originally a gift from King Edward II to his new wife. Later, it changed hands several times, and the owners were all prominent nobles.

The current Silvermoon Castle is owned by the Edmund family.

That is, the family that Xi Hua's little aunt married into.

Now that he decided to go, Xi Hua made a special trip to visit again.

Xi Hua's little aunt, also Chi's father's younger sister, is over 40 years old this year and is well maintained.

Seeing that it was Xi Hua who came over, the little aunt was quite pleasantly surprised. After all, in her impression, her nephew was the kind of person who didn't like to move. He never went to the various parties that young people like, and his social life was almost zero. .

The little aunt was a little worried at first, after all, in their class, socializing is a very important part.

When the invitation to the dance party was handed out, she didn't have any hope at first, but she didn't expect that Xi Hua would really come.

As long as you are willing to come out, the little aunt gave Xi Hua a warm hug when she saw him, and complained that Xi Hua didn't come to see her often.

Xi Hua was a little uncomfortable with such a warm meeting etiquette at the first time, but after a few times, he got used to it.

After all, he also knows that his little aunt has such a temperament.

His little aunt was born well and married well.

She was a princess when she was a child, and a noble lady when she married, and she never bothered her in her life.

Although she is already the mother of three children, you can still see the innocent shadow of her girlhood from her face.

She looked at Xi Hua with a smile, and asked about the current situation of her study and life, and Xi Hua answered them one by one.

Later, when we talked about the prom, Xi Hua said that he would bring a companion with him.

The little aunt's eyes lit up, "I said why did you suddenly figure it out, so you brought your companions along..."

She looked at Xi Hua: "You are already 20 years old, it's time to fall in love. You must know that Harry had several girlfriends when he was in middle school."

Xi Hua frowned.

This Harry is the second son of his little aunt, one year younger than himself, and a well-known playboy in the entire Upper East Side.

It's just that although Harry is romantic, it's nothing compared to his status in the Edmond family.

The two continued to chat for a few more words, and Xi Hua was about to get up and leave.

The little aunt originally wanted to stay with Xi Hua for a meal, but after thinking about it, her nephew had finally opened up to a relationship, maybe the young couple was going back to the world of two, so she let go of this idea.

Smiling and waving to Xi Hua, "Then see you tomorrow night."

"See you tomorrow night, little aunt."

......

Tom has been rather depressed these days.

Of course, he also heard about Shen Yuanyan's confession in public when he returned to school, but he was unwilling to believe it no matter what.

In Tom's opinion, the student named Chi Xihua was average in appearance and temperament, and the only advantage over him might be that he and Shen came from the same country.

But so what?

With Shen Yuanyan's current status, Xi Hua, an ordinary student, is not worthy of him at all!

But if Shen Yuanyan was with him, he could help him a lot.

After all, the entire upper-class circle is not big or small. Although the Carroll family that Tom belongs to has declined in recent years, they still have the title of nobility after all.

For this one alone, Tom felt that Chi Xihua had no right to compete with him.

And I will make Shen Yuanyan realize who is his best choice!

Tom looked at the prom invitation that he finally got from his father on the table, and he felt more confident in his heart.

The invitation to this ball is very rare, Shen Yuanyan is still in the development stage, he should understand what it means to attend this ball.

This is the world's top Vanity Fair, and being able to participate is a status symbol.

Tom confidently went to find Shen Yuanyan.

He didn't think Shen Yuanyan would reject him.

It's just that when he got to the place where Shen Yuanyan was working, Tom was in vain.

The colleague with dark circles was out for a stroll with a cup of coffee when he saw this brown curly-haired Master Carol.

Shen's fanatical suitor, probably no one here doesn't know him.

The dark circles under his eyes didn't know the identity of Shen Yuanyan's current boyfriend, he only knew that he was from the East just like Shen.

In fact, the dark circles think that this young master Carol is not bad. After all, apart from his appearance, the most important thing is that he is from the Carol family!

Although it is not as good as before, it still has a noble title to some extent.

It's just a pity, Shen never had a good look at this young master Carol.

The black eye circle clicked twice, and said: "Shen has been working online recently, and I haven't been here for a while."

Tom's eyes widened. He knew how hard Shen Yuanyan worked, so he was even more surprised.

"You mean, Shen hasn't come back since the last time?"

The dark circles under the eyes thought for a while, and laughed a few times, like a giant panda, "It's a combination of work and rest, Shen is going back to accompany his boyfriend."

After finishing speaking, the dark circles held the coffee, and watched the complexion of this young master Carroll change with satisfaction, which was very exciting.

Anyway, he doesn't rely on the Carroll family for food, and he doesn't have much contact with each other. Of course, he can say whatever he wants. Anyway, it seems that Shen doesn't like this young master.

Watching the back of Master Carol leaving angrily, the dark circles under his eyes shook his head indifferently, and poured the remaining coffee grounds in the cup into the flowerpot next to him, treating it as fertilization, and brushing the leaves .

After the stroll, the dark circles under the eyes were in a good mood and went to work.

Ever since Shen Yuanyan didn't come, the dark circles under his eyes suddenly felt that the world was at ease, and there was no one around who could fight.

He used to have seven cups of coffee a day as a base, but now, he only needs to drink three cups of coffee a day to kill all the other scum in seconds!The sleep time was extended by a full hour!

He felt that his dark circles were lightened.

......

Tom went out confidently, and then came home sullen.

He searched around but couldn't find Shen Yuanyan, so he called, only to find that several of his numbers had been blocked.

Tom gritted his teeth angrily.

He didn't think Shen Yuanyan would block his number, so,

"That bitch must have done it!"

Tom angrily smashed all the teacups on the table to the ground, but he was still not reconciled.

The invitation he got with great difficulty cannot be wasted like this!

"Yo Yo Yo, who made our Master Carol so angry?"

Carol's sister came over gloating.

The relationship between her and her younger brother is not good.

Just like the prom invitation this time, I begged my father for so long but didn't get it, but turned around and got it in Tom's hands. Why didn't Rose get angry?

Rose doesn't like to see Tom, and Tom doesn't like his half-sister even more.

He also sarcastically said: "My dear sister Rose, who said that her boyfriend can get the prom invitation, has he got it now?"

Sure enough, as soon as this was mentioned, Rose's face became very ugly, "You are relying on your father to spoil you!"

But Rose thought of something in a blink of an eye, and walked in: "I heard that some people took invitations as gifts, but they couldn't even send them out..."

She covered her mouth and laughed a few times, "How pitiful, dear brother."

Tom gritted his teeth, "Who said I couldn't send it out!"

Rose brushed her hair indifferently. Anyway, Tom was not happy, so she was happy.

"Then I'll wait and see, Master Carol."

Tom was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he could only vent his anger by kicking the table violently.

And until the day when the dance started, he couldn't see Shen Yuanyan's shadow.

......

At eight o'clock in the evening, the ball was held on time at Silvermoon Castle.

But in fact, around six o'clock, many guests have already come over one after another.

Except for the fifteen couples of boys and girls who needed to dance at the beginning, the rest of them walked among the political and business celebrities with wine glasses, hoping to connect with each other.

And what kind of evening dress the ladies and ladies are wearing tonight, and what brand of jewelry they are wearing, are also the focus of everyone's attention.

The men don't have as many tricks as the women, all of them are wearing tuxedos, and all of them have gentle smiles on their faces.

A large piece of sunset glow spreads on the sky behind the castle, gorgeous and magnificent.

In the distance is an endless blue field, and a crystal clear stream is gurgling through it.

Coming here from a modern city with towering high-rise buildings seems to have entered another world in an instant.

At the beginning of the Huadeng, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed.

The waiters in the castle obviously knew Xi Hua. Not long after Xi Hua brought Shen Yuanyan to the scene, Xi Hua's little aunt came over.

Then he saw Shen Yuanyan standing next to Xi Hua at a glance.

The little aunt gave Xi Hua a slightly surprised look, obviously she didn't expect Xi Hua to bring a male companion.

But the surprise is only for a moment, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon here.

Xi Hua greeted her little aunt.

The little aunt smiled and looked at Shen Yuanyan who was standing next to Xi Hua, and said to Xi Hua, "Would you like to introduce me?"

"Shen Yuanyan."

The little aunt looked at Shen Yuanyan seriously again, "So you are Shen Yuanyan."

It looks really good-looking.

For good-looking people, she is always willing to be tolerant.

She offered her hand, "I am Xiaohua's aunt, you can also call me Mrs. Edmund."

Shen Yuanyan bowed slightly, and held Aunt Xi Hua's hand, "Hello."

Xi Hua was a little surprised that little aunt would know about Shen Yuanyan, after all he had never mentioned it in front of her before.

The little aunt smiled, "I heard from Qing that Xiaohua has a good friend here, and he's from the same school."

When she mentioned the word "good friend", she obviously teased her.

But she probably also knew that Xi Hua must have kept this matter from her family, so she didn't make much fun of it.

She has always disliked interfering in the private issues of the juniors, whether she likes men or women, in her opinion, it is good to be happy.

But before she left, she deliberately said one more thing to Shen Yuanyan, "If you really want to be with our Xiaohua, you need to work harder! My elder brother and the others are not as enlightened as I am."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, "Enjoy this dance."

After Xi Hua's little aunt left, Shen Yuanyan couldn't help but smile a little, "Mrs. Edmund has a special character."

Xi Hua echoed, "That's right, I also think little aunt's character is not quite like the rest of the Chi family."

That's why he dared to come here with Shen Yuanyan in an open and honest manner!

Because he knew that with his little aunt's personality, she would never talk nonsense, and she might even help cover her up.

The opening dance of the banquet has nothing to do with them, they just need to sit down and applaud.

After the opening dance, other men and women who want to dance can bring their companions or invite others to dance together in the center of the hall.

Most of these activities belonged to young people, and more people sat down and talked with each other, and a contract might be made in a few words.

And if you want to meet some dignitary, tonight is undoubtedly the best occasion.

The soft music and dancing make the whole atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant. Compared with those formal business occasions, the success rate of conversation is obviously higher now.

Taking a quick glance at Xi Huachao's venue, he saw many faces who often appear on the covers of major financial and political news.

He chose a comfortable place to sit down, waved to Shen Yuanyan lazily,

"Student Shen Yuanyan, you have to work hard!"

Anyway, the conditions have been created, how to use them is Shen Yuanyan's own business.

However, Xi Hua still has great confidence in Shen Yuanyan, after all, the real material is there.

He never doubted the height that Shen Yuanyan could reach.

Because of Shen Yuanyan, he should have such a splendid life.

Now, I am just returning this kind of life to him.

......

Tom finally came. After all, this ball invitation is really rare, and he is not willing to waste this opportunity.

On the way here, he was thinking that if Shen Yuanyan found out, he would definitely regret it.

Tom was a little disappointed, and a little secretly excited.

If in the end Shen Yuanyan knew that it was because of that Chi Xihua that he lost the chance to attend the ball, Shen Yuanyan would definitely hate him.

And at that time, wouldn't his chance come?

Thinking of this, Tom felt a little better.

Holding a wine glass, he looked at the political and business celebrities from all walks of life in the arena, feeling a little proud in his heart.

Such a top vanity fair is the place where I, as the young master of the Carol family, should stay.

At this moment, Tom even felt that Shen Yuanyan was a little too ignorant of flattery.

I clearly pursued him so hard, but he still dismissed it...

However, as Tom scanned the people in the venue, his eyes suddenly stopped.

He looked over in disbelief, and then at the people around him.

That's right, this is Silvermoon Castle, and the Opera Festival Ball is being held.

But why is Chi Xihua here?

Tom wondered if he was dazzled.

But when he looked over again, it was still that face.

Tom's heart is already a little messy at this time, isn't Chi Xihua an oriental?Not an ordinary student?How would it appear here?

Who brought him here?

Tom's first reaction was to search for Shen Yuanyan beside Xi Hua.

Did not see.

If it wasn't Shen Yuanyan, who would it be?

Tom thought of a possibility, and his hands were shaking with excitement.

This bitch must have hooked up with other men to get in here!

He already has a boyfriend like Shen Yuanyan, but he is still not satisfied, and dares to come out and flirt!I must expose the true face of this bitch in person!See if he dares to put on an act in front of her next time!

Tom tried his best to suppress his excitement, and walked quickly in front of Xi Hua.

Xi Hua was playing with his mobile phone boredly when he suddenly felt that the light in front of him was blocked.

At first he thought it was another person who wanted to invite him to dance, but just as he was about to politely decline, he saw the familiar brown curly hair.

"Chi Xihua!" Tom felt elated when he pronounced Xihua's name in substandard Huaguo dialect.

Tremble!Be afraid!

You are about to be exposed by me!

And I will never be soft-hearted!

Xi Hua watched the expression on the little brown-haired face change back and forth with a look that seemed to be mentally ill, and the hand holding the wine glass was still shaking.

Of course he recognized who this was.

Xi Hua hasn't forgotten about the school.

He opened his mouth to make a mockery.

But I also felt that this person might be sick, and it would be bad to be too rude to a sick person.

In addition, he is still in a good mood now, so Xi Hua suppressed his temper and asked patiently,

"What's up?"
