Chapter 1371

"You should know that we could hear all the whispers just now?"

The understatement of lanli's words with a trace of relaxed and freehand joy made Edith's eyes wide. She knew that lanli was deliberately watching jokes and pranks.

This damn guy.

Edith winked frequently to express her strong protest; However, the flustered appearance made both lanli and Matthew show their funny eyes. They didn't converge, but they were even happier. It was obvious that they couldn't wait for this good play, and Edith couldn't do anything about it.

Chris can sense the surging air. Although he can't read the details of emotions, he can still feel the turbulent undercurrent. He realizes that he has to step forward.

"Edith is under a lot of pressure about us. But I just want to say, we are serious! She will not waver, nor will I! We are willing to face everything hand in hand. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me! " Chris straightened his chest and said firmly and solemnly.

However, in the eyes of Langley and Matthew, it seemed a little funny: because Langley was not trying to embarrass him. If Langley really had to embarrass Chris, it would not be so peaceful now.

Edith was no exception. She was funny and moved. After all, she didn't hold back. She chuckled and hugged Chris tightly. She patted Chris on the back with her left hand to show comfort and intimacy. At this moment, they have each other, truly.

Lan Li slightly restrained his smile and said softly, "don't worry, we are definitely going for you. We won't embarrass Edith. Anyway, she's also a hall. I don't mind family scandals, but that doesn't mean I'll make them myself. "

Chris opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Then lanli continued, "what's more, you're just talking about the impulse and passion in the love period. The words are not credible. Why should I care? We're not kids anymore, don't you think? "

Movies and novels always describe that when they are in love, they can't wait to separate them. But in fact, this is not necessary, because the opposition and protest during the period of hot love only make the two parties more closely connected, resulting in the tragic and tragic situation that they join hands to fight against the world, and the fetters become more and more close.

But after the hot love period, things are different. From love to marriage, even for a long time, this is a very long process, which requires courage and perseverance. This is especially true for nobles. It is not a process that can be persisted in one month or two. Of course, the marriage of interests is another matter.

Kristen was in a hurry when he said, "what are you talking about? We are serious! I mean it

Lanli didn't say anything and didn't retort. He just looked at Chris and Edith with a smile. His calm expression seemed to say: look, I said that both sides in the period of love are irrational. The posture of sitting in Diaoyutai firmly controls the rhythm and atmosphere of the scene.

Chris tried to argue, but he smashed his fist heavily on the cotton, which was too oppressive and depressing. But he didn't want to shrink back, so he just glared at Lan Li angrily and refused to disarm.

The atmosphere froze a little.

"Chris, can I have a whisky?" Edith said.

Chris immediately exclaimed sensitively, "Edith!" As soon as he heard it, he knew that Edith was going to give him a break and talk to Langley alone. They have said before that he should handle this matter, which is what he needs to face; Even to say the least, it should be something they both face together.

But Edith didn't give in. She patted Chris on the chest and showed him with her eyes that he didn't have to worry. They were stiff for a moment.

Neither lenley nor Matthew spoke.

The scene froze again, and Chris was defeated in the end.

He hugged Edith firmly. "Don't make me regret making such a decision."

Edith was dumbfounded and said softly, "believe me, Langley is the only one in the hall family who won't hurt me." After saying this, she was a little stunned. This was the first time she faced this matter calmly, but she did not seem strange. She nodded again to confirm, "I'm serious."

Chris rolled his eyes. "Edith, are you trying to make me jealous?"

"He's another hall." Edith shook her head helplessly.

"If you go on like this, I can't guarantee what will happen next." A faint smile on one's face was interrupted by blue rite. Then Edith's face and smile make complaints about Edith. The funny and tucking disdain of the cheek made her cheek burn and scald.

Chris looks sharp and tries to fight with Langley.

But Langley looked ahead. "Chris, you know what? Impulse and recklessness are of no use. Besides, your jealousy and love do me no good. You're making yourself more and more embarrassing, and you're making Edith more and more difficult. "

"..." Chris opened his mouth and tried to retort, but he couldn't squeeze out a word.

Edith sighed. She knew it was Langley's advice, not a scold. In fact, Langley has been very gentle. If it was ALF or Arthur, the scene would be more ugly, not to mention George and Elizabeth.

The plot based on TV series and movies, the plot of "Cinderella" sent by check, will not happen in real life, at least not in the hall family, but they have enough powerful ability to completely defeat and even destroy Chris' dignity and pride.

Edith didn't go on arguing. She turned and patted Chris on the arm again.

This time, Chris didn't object. He looked at Langley again and then turned away.

As for Matthew, he didn't need to say much. He motioned to lenley, and then stood up, smiling at Edith's jaw, and said, "good luck." That cold face with a trace of comfort and joy, always can't help but want to mouth up, finally this just started.

Edith just felt a dull pain in her head, and quietly came to the position before Matthew. She sat down beside lanli and was silent for a moment. "Don't you think much of him?"

"Oh. You should know better than I do. Isn't it? " Lan Li replied with a smile, "to be exact, you should not be surprised."

Tonight, Langley just had egot, and he didn't even bring out his strong contacts and influence, not to mention his bloody wrist and Morin's stratagem; For the hall family, the importance of the trophy is far less than the influence of blue rite on the whole industry.

In short, one is local and the other is global.

Different perspectives also determine different classes. Chris is nervous because of Randy's ego, but the hall family doesn't care about the so-called ego. What they really fear is Randy's power. The waves and ripples created by the count of Oxford's private dinner are what they fear.

Edith did not speak. As Langley said, she has been prepared for this for a long time.

Lan Li was silent for a moment, and said again, "why him? I don't see anything special about him. I mean, like George and Elizabeth, I don't think you're just spending or impulsive. I know you're not impulsive. Otherwise, he won't be here tonight; But... Why him? "

"What's wrong with him?"

"It's not good anywhere. Wait, or are the pectorals included? "

"Langley hall!"

"I mean it. Where on earth is he worth your wager? I mean, except for the body. "

In the face of lanli's ridicule and jest, this time, Edith did not continue to retort. The irritability and eagerness around her body settled down. She hesitated for a long time and thought for a long time. Then she said, "if I say that he taught me how to love, do you believe it?"

Love.

After Chris, Edith also mentioned the word.

Instead of answering, he listened patiently.

Edith didn't care, "he let me know how to approach a completely strange person and embrace each other wholeheartedly with his own warmth. True love is not calculation or care, but holding each other's hands tightly, tolerating and understanding each other. "

She knows better than anyone that this is such an important choice. Compared with her work and persistence, it is nothing at all. This is the real heresy. But... She chose to stand up and fight for this relationship to the end.

After a short pause, Edith continued, "he gave me the courage to stand up against George and Elizabeth; It was he who gave me confidence and continued to pursue my dream; Or he let me have the warmth, in this world really found a home

"You all think that I am the one who gives; But actually, I am the one who accepts it. He... Really gave too much. It's really difficult for him to stand in front of you tonight, because he knows that you mean a lot to me Edith said seriously, opening her heart for the first time and revealing all her true thoughts.

Turning her head, Edith saw the smiling expression on lanli's face. "I'm important?"

Edith rolled a big white eye and said angrily, "I didn't know. I didn't think you'd make a fuss!" He raised his hand and gave Lan Li an elbow with his elbow. He hit Lan Li's ribs heavily. "That's not the point, OK?"

"But Chris will mind." Blue Li's voice with a shallow smile, continued to tease, and once again mentioned Chris just jealous behavior.

Edith was helpless, "Sebastian! I mean it
