Chapter 2250 Feng Shui turns
The hoarse and mellow voice pulled gently in the ear, like a cello, faintly revealing a hint of danger. The temptation to drift on the edge of evil not only did not cause fear, but made the hormones start to surge, the butterfly deep in the lower abdomen They flutter their wings one after another, and the adrenaline in the blood is flowing fast.
Rooney stood on tiptoe again and whispered in Lan Li’s ear, “I don’t regret it.”
After speaking, Rooney blinked at Lan Li, and a trace of provocative cunning flowed from the bottom of her eyes, which made the chemical reaction between the two people more turbulent.
But Lan Li still controlled the turbulence of emotions, because he knew that there was more important things waiting tonight, he just looked at Rooney carefully with his eyes, and the waves of light in the depths of his eyes were really meaningful.
This made Rooney a little embarrassed, she lowered her eyes and tried to change the subject, “Need a little help?” She raised her hand to help Lan Li tidy up her bow tie.
Tonight, Lanli chose a formal hand-made custom suit, which is an extremely cumbersome high-end custom suit. Without help, it is impossible to complete the dressing.
Just now, Lan Li was dressed up with Philip’s help.
In the previous charity auction, Lan Li was not so grand and formal; but at the Christmas dinner tonight, Lan Li chose to treat it with the highest standards. You can see the small details. This is where Lan Li really cares. Although Lan Li did not appear nervous, the choice of suit revealed his concern.
Hidden under the appearance of a leisurely gentleman, Lan Li also has its own waves and ups and downs.
Rooney could detect it too, but she didn’t say much, she just arranged the bow tie for Lan Li carefully, and said with a smile, “This will be a beautiful night, just like’True Love First’.”
Lan Li laughed blankly, “I don’t want to be the guy standing outside the door holding a sign to confess. This is not the Christmas atmosphere I expected.”
Rooney couldn’t help but smiled, but she blinked at Lan Li, “Who knows? Maybe I’ve been looking forward to such a surprise. What do you think?”
“Aha. This lady who kept insisting to me that she would never date the same person two days in a row is now looking forward to the stage in a romantic comedy. What is going on? The character setting doesn’t seem right. Lan Li teased decently, causing Rooney to laugh happily.
Then, Lan Li made an inviting gesture, Rooney took his right arm, and the two left the room and set off towards the first floor.
The dinner began slowly.
A few interesting things happened about the Christmas dinner in the Prince’s Garden.
The first is about Roman Abramovich. After the Russian tycoon reached out to help Lan Li, he never asked for anything-this is a truly clever work, a favor of “no repayment”. It is always the biggest bargaining chip in the process of interpersonal communication.
Not to mention Roman, and Renly is not in a hurry, but Renly still showed his friendliness and issued an invitation to the Abramovichs for a Christmas dinner.
Roman did not show up, neither he nor his family stayed in London. The specific whereabouts are unknown-it is rumored that they went to a small Mediterranean island for vacation; but Roman still asked his housekeeper to give a Christmas gift, and on Christmas On the day of the festival, I had a friendly call with Lan Li.
The second is the meeting between Rooney and Chris, or rather, the meeting between Rooney and Edith and Arthur.
This is the first time Rooney has officially stood in front of more than one Hall. Just as Lan Li was picky about Chris, Edith and Arthur would naturally not let Rooney off easily; but unexpectedly, it made sense. What’s more, Rooney’s performance is very calm, not nervous or flustered at all.
When Lan Li and Rooney showed up on the first floor hand in hand, Edith couldn’t wait to take the initiative to greet him and blatantly issued a challenge, “Lan Li, can I borrow Miss Mara?” Feng Shui took turns. Lan Li was picky at first, but now it’s Edith’s turn. She will definitely not be merciful. The next step is to see if this “Rooney Mara” can withstand it.
Lan Li did not stop.
Rooney took the initiative to smile at Edith, “Of course, it is my honor. Can Miss Edith show me a visit?” The words implied that Edith was the host and she was the guest. It gave up the initiative.
Edith cast a glance at Lan Li, seeming to say: She is very powerful!
The fact is also true.
Tension is tense, but as the third generation of the two big families on the East Coast of the United States, such a social occasion is really not too difficult for Rooney.
Edith deliberately took Rooney away, and then “isolated” Renly to avoid Renly’s interference, and tried to put pressure on Rooney face to face alone, just like when Chris Evans visited Lanly for the first time. The same-and that guy Matthew was there at the time; but Edith’s idea did not succeed. After the initial stage of jerky, Rooney gradually entered the state, successfully controlled the situation, and had a good conversation.
When entering the second half of the dinner, Rooney even stood alone with Edith and whispered and whispered to each other-it is not yet known whether they can be worthy of friends, but the atmosphere is indeed very pleasant. Even Lan Li and Arthur are full. His face was surprised, and he never thought that Edith would be so “easy to get along with”. Isn’t it a bit wrong?
“Aren’t you nervous at all?” Arthur asked Lan Li curiously. Although Edith seemed to have no advantage in front of Lan Li, she was definitely not a soft persimmon; to be more precise, Edith was also a ruthless one. Character.
“Of course I’m nervous.” Lan Li’s straightforwardness caused Arthur to be slightly stunned, and then laughed happily-it is really rare to see Lan Li admit that he is nervous so readily.
But after the brief joy, Arthur became more confused.
“I believe Rooney.” Lan Li gave the answer, “What’s more, you should look at the royal family. There are other hereditary aristocrats who still uphold traditional concepts. In comparison, our family has no remaining traditions. Prince’s Garden, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the upper class in London.”
Regardless of George and Elizabeth, the pressure of the London elite is everywhere. Whether Rooney is dating Renly or there is a further possibility in the future, she will inevitably face countless critical eyeballs. That kind of oppression is definitely not The emerging American aristocracy can imagine.
As Lan Li said, the Prince’s Garden is just the first step. He should believe Rooney.
Although the tension in his heart lingered, Lan Li forced himself to calm down and handed the situation to Rooney so that Rooney could play freely. Regardless of the outcome, they can wait until the banquet tonight is over, discuss it slowly, and explore it slowly. There are countless possibilities in the future.
Arthur’s gaze staying on Lan Li’s body became meaningful, and he said with a smile, “Now I finally know the similarities between you and Elf. You are all too sensible. You are too sensible to feel the temperature. .”
“Your subtext is that you and Edith are people of good temperament, right?” Lan Li was not moved at all, and directly complained.
Arthur laughed happily.
But then, Arthur reduced his smile and said seriously, “I still prefer you tonight.” In fact, he could feel Lan Li’s tension. Even though Lan Li was very cleverly disguised, his shoulders were slightly tight. Lines, a slightly restricted line of sight, and overly calm emotions all prove that the waves in Lan Li’s heart are far less calm than it seems on the surface. “You know, it’s not that devil, it looks like it can be defeated.”
Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, “Oh? Do you want to give it a try?”
Arthur almost choked on his saliva.
Leaving aside the front-to-back confrontation between Rooney and Edith and Arthur, Renly could not fully relax tonight. This was the first formal banquet in the Prince’s Garden and also his first formal banquet in London after he completely got rid of the constraints of the Hall family At the banquet, things still mean more things after all.
Throughout the night, Lan Li’s figure appeared in every corner, and even Paul Walker, who was very nervous, could perceive that Lan Li’s posture was different from before.
Paul also took a piece of chocolate cake to Lan Li, “I just think you need to add a little sugar.”
The caring eyes relaxed Lan Li’s tight nerves a bit, “At this moment, alcohol may be more effective than sugar.”
“But you are obviously not an alcohol lover Paul argued.
“Trust me, sugar is omnipotent, it can solve all problems.” Ryan Gosling also noticed the small communication in the corner of the dinner party, he even took out the candy from his pocket, “Or, you are more inclined To toffee?” Ryan always carries candies in his pocket, even at formal dinners—or is it just found in the kitchen?
Lan Li laughed really relaxed, “Don’t worry, a little fresh air can solve the problem.” Having said that, Lan Li took both the candy and the chocolate cake.
“Huh. To be honest, I can also use a little fresh air.” Ryan said in a low voice, unexpectedly, but it also resonated with Paul, “That’s it.”
Perceiving Lanly’s puzzling gaze, Paul explained, “I thought this was a dinner between friends. I didn’t expect it to be so grand. Look at my dress when I appeared? God, if it wasn’t for Philip to take me there. I changed my clothes on the second floor. I think I might not be able to stay for a minute.”
Ryan bumped Paul with his shoulder, “That’s right, did you see the restaurant? I thought it was just a buffet, but it turned out to be a long formal banquet table with 20 seats. People sitting here just listen. The kind of long table that the people on the other side are talking about is at least 80 feet tall. Lanly, are we really going to eat there? I really don’t know anything about dining etiquette.”
“Don’t worry, you all know who you are attending the dinner. When you have a meal, you can talk to people around you. It’s not that scary.” Lan Li couldn’t help but chuckle.
But Paul and Ryan didn’t listen at all. They just captured a meaning: They really wanted to have a meal at the long formal banquet table.
