However, Lu Kewei remembered the company's upper echelons' instructions. He was afraid that he would leave a bad impression on the executives at work, so he insisted on staying.

In the evening, Lu Kewei took Amanda to eat roast duck. Because of Qin's zither, Lu Kewei did not avoid any suspicion in front of Amanda and called Song Zixiu over.

After a while, he realized that Amanda loved to speak Gaelic, probably because she had learned the language from Qin Zheng. When the three of them were together, Song Zixiu also showed that he was proficient in this language. Amanda was very surprised and even sighed, "No wonder the two of you were able to get together. I thought there was such a big hotel in our family, so I wouldn't be interested in these things."

Song smiled but did not reply. He remembered the first time they had met, and how surprised she had been to hear him speak Gaelic.

That night, Lu Kewei stayed at the hotel. Although Song Zi said that he wanted to stay with her, he was still worried about whether there was only Song Qingying and Zhou Ma at home. Lu Kewei also persuaded him to go back, but in the end, he went home.

Amanda's signing meeting was held the next morning, and Lu Kewei accompanied her to the signing site early in the morning to begin preparations. Needless to say, the hustle and bustle of the signing and sale, and Mr Rudd is amazed at Amanda's popularity in the country. Amanda is popular in the UK, with its books at the top of the sales list and lots of novels being filmed and even the rights to the movies purchased by Hollywood companies. Lu Kewei never thought that Amanda would be so popular in the country.

In the afternoon, Amanda also arranged a lecture at a local university, and the lecture hall was filled with people early in the morning. Although Amanda is single today, her concept of love and career has been enthusiastically sought after at the scene. As he listened to it, he also felt deeply touched.

After the speech, Amanda's trip today came to an end. She and Lu Kewei got into the car back to the hotel and started chatting. Amanda also said that she did not expect so many people to know her here. The funniest part was that Amanda actually fell in love with the roast duck, but today she was too tired to go out. Lu Kewei told the hotel to get someone to buy one from the outside and send it over.

Today was a weekend, so Song Qingying did not need to read. In the evening, Lu Kewei found out that her hotel room was already taken in by father and daughter.

Lu Kewei was pleasantly surprised. After joking with his father and daughter for a while, he let them go home. However, Song Qingying had carried her and flirted with her, saying that they would sleep together tonight. Lu Kangwei looked at Song Zixiu with a headache, but helplessly spread his arms towards her when he saw him standing there unperturbed.

How could Lu Ke Wei not guess that Song Zi Xiu had taught Song Qing Ying well in advance? She knew that she could not harden her heart towards Song Qing Ying. Song Zixiu obviously understood Lu Kewei well enough, so the father and daughter pair decided to stay that night.

It was also because Song Zixiu and Song Qingying had lived in Lu Kewei's room for the entire night that the mysterious wife of the young CEO of the Starlight Hotel was finally exposed to the others in the restaurant.

The next day, Amanda had another interview with a television program. Naturally, Lu Kewei left early in the morning. However, before he left, he was pestered to kiss a father and daughter before they smoothly left.

The program was recorded in an orderly manner. However, before the program could be completely recorded, Amanda's assistant suddenly came to inform her that there were ZF officials in the country calling to tell her that they wanted to organize a cultural exchange between the two countries through Amanda. They said that they had already communicated with the British authorities in advance. Amanda indicated that the program hadn't finished recording. She would reply to the other side when it was over.

Since it was the ZF that came out, naturally, Amanda could not refuse. The moment the program finished recording, she sent a reply through the assistant to the people at the other side. After doing that, Amanda smiled and said to Luke, "I originally wanted to play around with you from tomorrow onwards, but I didn't think that there would be no other way. You'll be attending tomorrow's event with me."

Lu Kewei naturally could not refuse Amanda's suggestion, and he felt honored to be able to attend such an event with her.

Before coming here for the signing party, Amanda had someone customize a unique qipao. "I thought I would have to leave it at home to admire it," she said with a smile. "Since there's a chance tomorrow, I'll put it on."

Of course, Lu Kewei understood the meaning behind Amanda's words. In fact, he was also showing his respect to the organizers this time.

After Amanda finished speaking, she said, "Ke Wei, why don't you wear the qipao with me tomorrow night? It would be better if the two of us can walk together like this."

Lu Kewei was truly troubled over this matter. She did not have a qipao here. Seeing her expression, Amanda guessed what was going on. She quickly smiled and said, "If you don't have it, then forget it, I won't force you."

Lu Kewei smiled, but he couldn't help but tell this matter to Song Zixiu. Unexpectedly, Song Yuwei had brought a clothing designer to the hotel that night, as well as a few qipao.

When Song Yuwei saw her, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can be considered to be representing us in our activities tomorrow night to accompany Amanda. You have to do your best in public appearances."

Song Yuwei had a rough understanding of Lu Kewei's size and what color and style was suitable for her. She had also tested out the qipao Lu Kewei she had brought with her and found that they were all pretty good.

Song Yuwei selected one of them, which was a bit large. She asked the designer to immediately change it.

Lu Kewei had always trusted Song Yuwei quite a bit when it came to dressing up. Naturally, she would wear whatever she chose.

However, Song Yuwei still explained to her, "The sky's blue design comes from blue and white porcelain. According to your identity, when you wear bright red, it's too beautiful. It's a perfect sky blue."

The designer skillfully adjusted her waist. When Lu Kewei put it on again, it was just like her second layer of skin, perfectly outlining her tall and well-proportioned figure.

Song Yuwei teasingly whistled and laughed, "Sister-in-law, if I were you, I would also like you."

He laughed and pinched her arm, and they made a scene for a while.

The next day, they arrived at the location of the event, and it was only then that Luke discovered that it was a cultural exchange between the two countries. It was also just a dinner.

The top officials of the British embassy arrived first, and the moment Amanda arrived, the two began to talk.

The British ambassador to China chatted with Amanda for a while before leading her in another direction. As they walked, they introduced themselves and said, "Z Nation really values your arrival this time. They even sent the youngest director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be in charge of this dinner and to give you a welcoming reception."

Although Amanda had a smile on her face when she spoke, it was already a very businesslike tone, neither warm nor impolite. After being together with her for a few days, Lu Kewei understood that the scholarly elegance that was inherent in Amanda was now revealed.

After passing through the crowd, he saw a tall figure standing with his back facing them, as if ordering the people beside him to do something. As the distance between them got closer and closer, he felt that this person looked somewhat familiar.

Before the British ambassador to China could say anything, the man turned with a formal smile, shook hands with the ambassador, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then turned to Amanda, expressing his affection for her and his welcome to Z, hoping that the cultures of the two countries would continue to communicate more and more in the future.

Clearly not interested in such a conversation, Amanda managed to say a few words to him.

When Lu Kexin saw the man's face, he was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he was Xiao Shixian, the nephew of Xiao Yunfeng, whom she had met at the cemetery. She had been too careless. After hearing the introduction given by the British Ambassador, she should have guessed that it was Sage Xiao. It wasn't that she wanted to remember this man, but she had never met someone with such a strong aura. It would be difficult for her to not remember this person. She could only hope that he no longer had any impression of her.

After a few words with Amanda, Xiao Shixian turned to look at Lu Kewei and asked casually, "What is the relationship between this beautiful lady and Amanda?"

Amanda unexpectedly did not mention any work connections and only replied, "My good friend's niece, she is also my accompanying translator this time." It appeared to be fairly protective towards Lu Kewei.

Xiao Shixian conversed with Amanda in English all along, but at this time, Lu Kangwei seemed to be of no use. However, since the topic had been brought up to her, she could only greet Xiao Shixian. As the highest ranking official in this banquet, naturally, Xiao Shixian had a lot of things he needed to take care of. After chatting with Amanda for a while, he apologized and went to deal with other things.

The British ambassador soon went off to talk to the others, leaving only Amanda and Luke in the corner. At this point, Amanda reverted back to her intimate relationship with Luke, even complaining in Gaelic, "I hate these kinds of pretentious situations the most, but the name of the exchange between the two countries makes me have to lower my head."

She actually did not like such an occasion either. It was probably because her life these past few years had been too unrestrained.

Amanda and Lu Kewei were chatting happily, who knew that Xiao Shixian would be back soon. At first, Amanda thought that Xiao Shixian didn't understand Gaelic, so she said a few words to Lu Kewei before she spoke to Xiao Shixian again.

Xiao Shixian's words stunned both Lu Ke and Amanda. "Amanda, if you don't mind, I would like to say a few words to this fellow comrade of yours."

If Amanda hadn't known that Lu Kewei was already married, she might have been happy for Xiao Shixian's interest in Lu Kewei. However, Lu Kewei was married after all, so she had no choice but to ask Lu Kewei for his opinion.

Xiao Shixian also shifted his gaze to Lu Kewei. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, "Miss Lu and I have met before. Don't worry, Amanda. Miss Lu can trust me."

It was obvious that Xiao Shixian did not recognize that she was just lying to himself. Not only did he recognize her, he had even asked someone to investigate her. This kind of knowledge made him at a loss of what to do.

Xiao Shixian had already turned around and walked towards a small door. Seeing this, Lu Kewei did not dare to stand still. He greeted Amanda and followed closely behind Xiao Shixian.

Lu Kewei followed Xiao Shixian out of the small door. Outside was a small garden. It was still warm and cold, but spring had just started, so there wasn't anything particularly exquisite about it.

He was wearing a sky-blue qipao with a woolen shawl covering his body, but he still felt extremely cold.

Xiao Shixian's face was expressionless, exactly the same as when Lu Kewei first met him.

Xiao Shixian's voice was cold as he said, "I should be grateful that you specially went to meet my uncle. After all, he has been gone for so many years and has not left a single girl behind. However, your ability to lie is too lacking. I just randomly asked someone to check up on you and I found out where you came from. "You have been living in England. Your aunt is Qin Zheng, and she was with my uncle before he died."

Now that his identity had been completely exposed, Lu Kewei wasn't in a hurry. He even pretended to be relaxed as he asked, "Then are you talking to me here to express your anger or something?" Although she pretended that nothing had happened, she was still trembling from the cold.
