The hoarse and mellow voice gently pulled in the ear, like a cello, vaguely revealed a trace of danger. That kind of free exploration on the edge of evil, not only did not cause fear, but also let the hormones start to surge up. Butterflies in the deep abdomen fluttered their wings one after another, and the adrenaline in the blood was flowing rapidly.

Rooney stood on tiptoe again and whispered, "I don't regret it."

With that, LUNI winked at lanli, and a trace of aggressive cunning flowed from the bottom of her eyes, which made the chemical reaction between the two people more turbulent.

But lanli still controlled the surge of emotion, because he knew that there was something more important to wait for tonight. He just looked at Rooney with his eyes, and the waves in the bottom of his eyes were very meaningful.

This made Rooney a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyes and tried to change the subject. "Do you need a little help?" She raised her hand to help blue Li with her bow tie.

Tonight, lanli chose a formal hand-made suit, which is a very cumbersome high-level custom-made suit. Without help, you can't finish wearing.

Just now, Langley was dressed with Philip's help.

Before the charity auction, lanli was not so formal; But tonight's Christmas dinner, lanli chose to treat it with the highest standard. It can be seen from small details that this is the occasion that lanli really cares about. Although he didn't show any nervousness, the choice of suit showed his care.

Hidden under the calm appearance of a gentleman, lanli has his own ups and downs.

Rooney could also detect it, but she didn't say much. She just carefully arranged the bow tie for lanli and said with a smile, "it's going to be a beautiful night, just like 'true love comes first'

"I don't want to be the guy standing outside the door with the sign. It's not the Christmas atmosphere I'm looking forward to," he said

LUNI couldn't help smiling, but she winked at Lan Li, "who knows? Maybe I've been looking forward to such a surprise. What do you say? "

"Aha. This lady, who stressed to me that she would never date the same person for two consecutive days, is now looking forward to the romantic comedy. What's going on? There seems to be something wrong with the design. " Lenley made a good joke, which made Rooney laugh happily.

Then, with a gesture of invitation, Rooney took his right arm and left the room for the first floor.

The dinner began slowly.

There are a few interesting things about the Christmas dinner in Prince's garden.

One is about Roman Abramovich, a Russian tycoon who has offered a helping hand to lenley, but has never asked for anything. This is a truly brilliant work. A "no return" favor is always the biggest chip in the process of interpersonal communication.

Roman didn't say, and lenley was not in a hurry, but lenley showed his friendliness and extended an invitation to the Abramovich couple for Christmas dinner.

Roman did not show up, he and his family did not stop in London, the exact whereabouts of the unknown - they are rumored to go to the Mediterranean island holiday; However, Roman still asked his housekeeper to give him a Christmas gift, and on Christmas day, he had a friendly conversation with lenley.

The second is the meeting between Rooney and Chris, or rather, the meeting between Rooney and Edith, Arthur.

This is the first time that Rooney is formally standing in front of more than one hall. Just as lenley was critical of Chris, Edith and Arthur will not let Rooney go easily; But unexpected but reasonable is, Rooney's performance is very calm, no tension, no panic.

When lanli and Rooney appeared on the first floor hand in hand, Edith could not wait to take the initiative and openly challenged, "lanli, may I borrow Miss Mara?" It was lanli who was picky at first. Now it's Edith's turn. She won't show mercy. Next, it depends on whether the "Rooney Mara" can resist.

Lenley didn't stop it.

Rooney took the initiative to smile at Edith. "Of course, it's my pleasure. Can miss Edith show me around? " The words imply that Edith is the host, and she is the guest, instead, she gives the initiative out.

Edith cast a look at lanli, as if to say: she is very powerful!

The same is true.

Tension belongs to tension, but as the third generation of two families on the east coast of the United States, such social occasions are not too difficult for Rooney.

Edith deliberately took Rooney, and then "isolated" him to avoid his interference. She tried to exert pressure on Rooney face to face, just like Chris Evans had visited him for the first time - and Matthew was there at that time; But Edith's idea did not succeed. After the beginning, Rooney gradually entered the state, successfully controlled the situation and had a good conversation.

In the second half of the dinner, Rooney and Edith even stood alone, whispering and whispering. It's not known whether they can be friends, but the atmosphere is really pleasant. Even Langley and Arthur are surprised. They never thought Edith was so "easy to get along with". Is there something wrong with this?

"Aren't you nervous at all?" Arthur inquired about lenley curiously. Although Edith seems to have no advantage in front of lenley, she is definitely not a soft persimmon; More precisely, Edith is also a tough character.

"Of course I'm nervous." Arthur was slightly stunned by lanli's crispness, and then he laughed happily - it's really rare to see lanli admit that he is nervous so easily.

But after a short period of joy, Arthur became more and more confused.

"I believe in Rooney." Lanli gave the answer, "what's more, you should look at the royal family and other hereditary nobles who are still upholding traditional ideas. Comparatively speaking, there are not many traditions left in our family. Prince's garden, it's just the tip of the iceberg for the upper class in London. "

Apart from George and Elizabeth, the pressure of the elite in London is also everywhere. No matter what date Rooney has with Langley, or whether there is a further possibility in the future, she is bound to face countless critical eyes. That sense of oppression is definitely not what the new aristocrats in the United States can imagine.

As Langley said, Prince's garden is just the first step. He should have trusted Rooney.

Although the inner tension is always lingering, Langley still forces himself to calm down and leave the situation to Rooney to play freely. No matter what the outcome, they can wait until after tonight's banquet, and then slowly discuss, and then slowly explore, there are countless possibilities in the future.

Arthur's eyes on Langley became meaningful, and he said with a smile, "now I finally know the similarity between you and ALF. You are all too sensible to feel the temperature."

"Your subtext is that you and Edith are lovers, right?" But make complaints about it.

Arthur laughed happily.

But then Arthur stopped smiling and said seriously, "I like you better tonight." In fact, he could feel the tension of Lan Li. Even though Lan Li covered it up very skillfully, his slightly tight shoulder line, slightly limited vision and excessively calm mood all proved that Lan Li's inner waves were far less calm than what he seemed on the surface“ You know, it's not that evil. It looks like it can be defeated. "

Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly Yang, "Oh? Would you like to have a try? "

Arthur almost choked on his own saliva.

Apart from the confrontation between Rooney, Edith and Arthur, Langley can't completely relax tonight. This is the first formal banquet in Prince's garden, and also his first formal banquet in London after he completely gets rid of the shackles of the hall family. After all, it means more.

Throughout the night, the figure of lanli appeared in every corner, even the nervous Paul Walker can detect that lanli's posture is different from the past.

Paul also specially took a chocolate cake to lenley, "I just think you need to add a little sugar."

The caring eyes let Lan Li's tight nerves relax slightly. "At this moment, alcohol may be more effective than sugar."

"But you're obviously not an alcoholic." Paul argued.

"Believe me, sugar is everything. It can solve all problems." Ryan Gosling was also aware of the small communication in the corner of the dinner party. He even took candy out of his pocket. "Or do you prefer toffee?" Ryan always carries candy in his pocket, even at a formal dinner - or is that what he found in the kitchen?

Lan Li really relaxed and laughed, "don't worry, a little fresh air can solve the problem." Having said that, Langley took the candy and chocolate cake.

"Hoo. To be honest, I can use some fresh air, too. " Ryan said in a low voice. He didn't expect it, but it also aroused Paul's resonance, "that's it."

Aware of Langley's puzzled gaze, Paul explained, "I thought this was a dinner party between friends. I didn't expect it to be so grand. What do you think I look like when I show up? God, if Philip hadn't taken me to the second floor to change my clothes, I don't think I would have been able to stay for a minute. "

Ryan hit Paul with his shoulder. "That's it. Do you see the restaurant? I thought it was a buffet, but it turned out to be a formal banquet table for 20 people. People on one side could not hear what people on the other side were saying. It was at least 80 feet long. Langley, are we really going to eat there? I really don't know anything about dining etiquette. "

"Don't worry, you all know the people who will attend the dinner. When you have dinner, you can talk to the people around you. It's not that terrible. " Lan Li can't help laughing to explain.

But Paul and Ryan didn't listen at all. They just caught an idea: they're really going to have dinner at a long formal dinner table.
