Beatrice was a little nervous.
In fact, her meeting with Langley was very limited. The real face-to-face conversation only happened at the private party of the Earl of Oxford last year; They have no mobile phone number and email address, and they have no way to contact each other; Strictly speaking, they are not even friends, just nodding friends.
As for Beatrice's love, it is not so much women's love and mania for men as fans' worship and yearning for idols. It is just a kind of infatuation of admiration - just like millions of women in the world; But since that meeting, the admiration has changed a little.
Although Langley refused herself, Beatrice spent a short period of grief and loss, and then gradually tasted Langley's gentleness and gentleness. They all refused, but Lan Li showed his skill, clean attitude, without leaving any room for misunderstanding. At the same time, he maintained enough respect and goodwill, which made the sadness after the bitter taste gradually sweet, and finally evolved into a beautiful memory.
Beatrice is not sure whether it is her "fan mentality" that causes trouble, so that everything is covered with a layer of filter, but what she can be sure is that she still likes lanli - not love, but a kind of admiration and worship from fans. She always thinks that lanli is a lighthouse in the middle of the night voyage, which can guide her to move on, This is really a wonderful feeling, people can't tell joy or ferocity.
When she learned about the charity auction, Beatrice's first reaction was that she wanted to participate. Even if Alexander didn't send out an invitation, she wanted to participate; So she made a special trip to ask Alexander, got an invitation, and appeared at today's auction.
At this time, after a year to see blue again, Beatrice can't help but get excited again, like a little girl, want to jump up.
Just a smile, Beatrice can feel the warmth of lanli again, with a different human atmosphere from the nobility, while maintaining the elegant demeanor of noble etiquette. Every move is so pleasing to the eye. The most important thing is that the sincerity in her eyes is irreplaceable and cannot be pretended, This makes Beatrice's mood involuntarily start to vibrate wings to soar.
"Your Highness." Blue Li's eyes with warm light, light tone said, "thank you for coming to the charity activities to donate a strength, now everyone is guessing, I do not know heaven and earth to send a post, invite you to come to the scene, which makes me happy and chagrined."
Light tone with a bit of fun, kind but not offensive, between the gesture with a trace of familiarity between young people, but a face, Beatrice can not help but smile, eyes and eyebrows are filled with joy and joy, "this is absolutely a beautiful misunderstanding."
After she said it, Beatrice was a little annoyed: she really didn't have any humor cells. Langley had set up the stage, and she still couldn't show her wit and humor. Such a regular social reply was really speechless.
Lanli seems to capture a trace of embarrassment from Beatrice's smile. Instead of poking it out, he slightly lowered his voice. "In order to avoid misunderstanding, should we pretend to laugh now, otherwise, the rumor about me will become the most beautiful dessert on the dinner table tonight."
"Poof Pooh." Beatrice laughed directly. She tried to make fun of her, but her brain was blank, and finally she just laughed foolishly.
"No wonder the rumored lanli is always the dream lover of countless women. In a short time of greeting, even I can't help indulging in it. " Next came a low and vicissitudes of voice, interrupted the conversation between Langley and Beatrice.
It was a man in his mid-30s. He had short blond hair and a little baby fat. His high forehead made people notice the receding hairline. His slightly red cheekbones revealed a trace of softness. It was clearly the young man's appearance, but it revealed a kind and contradictory but harmonious temperament of the elderly. It was impossible to judge his age, It's also unique.
Men are not rashly involved, but ignored.
In fact, before Langley came, he stood beside Beatrice, about a step away; But because the two people are not talking, Beatrice is talking with another person - that person said goodbye wisely on the way of lanli's coming, so that lanli can't judge what is the situation of the man left next to him. That's why she can't say hello at the first time. It's a bit impolite.
The man's words were slightly prickly, and Beatrice could not hear them, but Langley keenly caught them. He stood up straight to meet each other's eyes, and then joked to himself, "so, now my influence has covered men?" In another way to interpret the other side's words, there is no attack, but there is no sign of weakness, the whole atmosphere in relaxed to maintain tension, had to be applauded.
Beatrice responded with a big smile, "sorry, look at my memory, lenley. This is Dave Clark; Dave, this is Mr. Langley hall She volunteered to introduce them, pausing, and then explaining, "Dave is my extra one today. We're dating."
i see!
This explains the expression and manner of Dave, and things become interesting - for Langley, because he is completely relaxed and sincerely wishes Beatrice; But not for Dave. The tension of vigilance never goes away. It's like he's always ready to attack.
"Welcome. Maybe charity is not the best place to make friends, but I am always open-minded and hope to meet some like-minded friends. It seems that today's goal has been achieved. " Lanli still showed his demeanor and didn't treat Dave as "Beatrice's boyfriend" - because lanli believed that today, Dave should be treated like this many times, and he shouldn't be someone's vassal. He was also a guest of charity auction.
But not everyone pays for the friendliness of lanli.
"I didn't know you were also the owner of today's auction. I thought it was an auction organized by Alexander Hamilton." Dave came back with a stab.
"Welcome", this is the main talent can use the words.
Beatrice didn't think much about it, but simply thought that Dave had raised a question. She quickly explained, "Alexander and Langley are good friends. Today's mysterious guest is Langley. Alexander has planned for this for a long time, but we didn't expect that Langley really appeared."
It seems that Beatrice has been in love for some time recently, and the news update has lagged behind. She has not been able to update the latest progress of the inside story of Hall's family, which ignores the real purpose of Langley's special trip back to London. At the same time, it also means that Beatrice really likes Dave.
But obviously, Beatrice's explanation has a different flavor for Dave.
Langley could sense the aggressiveness of Dave. He could not help smiling. "Obviously, my words and deeds caused some unnecessary misunderstandings. In fact, it was not Alexander who invited me to attend, but I expressed my thoughts to Alexander. I am also looking forward to gaining something at the auction today and making some efforts for charity. What do you think, Dave? "
The subtext is: whether it's the host or not, their purpose should be charity activities, not petty things.
Langley doesn't mind giving in, and he doesn't have the interest to interfere in Beatrice's emotional life; But it doesn't mean he will leave with his tail between his legs. He expressed his position in his own way. If Dave is smart enough, he should be able to feel the meaning of the words.
"Of course." Dave did feel it. "Tess and I are looking forward to something today." At the same time, he took Beatrice by the shoulder, raised his chest to meet Blue's eyes, and declared his sovereignty.
This... Is childish, but lovers in love can understand.
"Well, I'll leave first. The auction is about to begin." Lan Li said politely.
Beatrice added, "Langley, will you stay at the reception after the auction? I hear you're going back to the west end? Is that true? " There was a little joy in the words.
"Ha." Lenley chuckled. "I can't admit anything. You know, the confidentiality agreement always binds our actors. But I'm sure I won't sneak away after the auction. See you later. " In the rest of his sight, he could see Dave's slightly stiff smile. Lanli didn't stop. After nodding, he turned and left.
It's another social event, and lanli is back in his seat.
Andre, on the left, immediately hit Langley with his shoulder. "The drama of the west end is not as wonderful as that scene." This is a hint that Langley and Beatrice met, obviously, fell into the eyes of the audience.
Langley said calmly, "that means that the number of dramas you watch is still too small, and the quality is too bad. I feel sorry for you. "
Andre choked, but continued to ask, "don't you care? What's the origin of that Dave Clark? I think he might be aiming at you. After all, the rumor about you and the princess here in London has already spread in the streets
"What?" Lan Li is really surprised. The surprised expression makes Andre laugh contentedly, and his eyes are full of pride.
