According to the plot of the original book, the person that Morrison liked was always the protagonist, and he had no feeling for Xi Ning. This time, he just helped him, since it was his marriage partner anyway.
In the original book, Morrison was described as gentle, considerate, polite and friendly. It was no wonder that the original host would soon fall in love with him, but Xi Ning was not the original host. He looked back and followed the attendant in the hall to find an empty seat to sit down while Louis was standing beside him.
There were already many people in the hall, both men, women and children. They were not familiar with Xi Ning. There were a few older women sitting not far away, looking at Xi Ning and discussing.
Xi Ning vaguely heard a voice saying, “After staying with a group of pirates for so long, does His Highness Morrison dare to marry him again?”
“There’s not a problem since he has a higher status. After all, he is just here for political marriage……”
Louis heard it too, and immediately wanted to go over to shut them up. Xi Ning quickly grabbed him and shook his head gently.
Louis restrained his expression, squatted down and pretended to straighten his trouser legs for Xi Ning, and said in a low voice, “Fortunately I didn’t let you go back to the Federation alone.”
If he wasn’t there, wouldn’t Xi Ning be bullied and unable to find anyone to help him? Plus that Morrison might not have much sincerity in this marriage.
“Don’t be angry,” Xi Ning bent down and pinched Louis’ earlobe from an angle that others couldn’t see. “I don’t mind.”
He understood what those people meant. In fact, they were right. He did have a close relationship with a pirate, and the pirate even followed him back to the Federation, but it was all of his own volition.
Xi Ning was very calm. Louis didn’t say anything anymore when he saw it. He then went to bring him some food.
When the president entered the hall, the banquet officially began. He asked Xi Ning to come to the front to stand beside him, introduced him to everyone, and explained that today’s banquet was held to celebrate the retrieval of Xi Ning.
After the president finished speaking, there was warm applause in the hall, and everyone turned their attention to Xi Ning. It was time for him to say a few words.
Everyone was staring at him, and Xi Ning hurriedly searched for Louis in the crowd since due to his illness, he couldn’t speak.
Morrison couldn’t stand it anymore. He also knew what these people thought of Xi Ning, and came out from the side to help him. “His Royal Highness Cyril has just arrived here, so he probably hasn’t adapted yet. Father, let me take him to eat first?”
The president nodded with a smile and, out of courtesy, Morrison held out a hand to Xi Ning.
Xi Ning was very hesitant, but the system urged, “The other protagonist is also watching from below. Master, quickly hold his hand!”
With this in mind, wouldn’t the mission progress further? But Louis must also be watching from below, Xi Ning made up his mind and put his hand on Morrison’s palm.
The mission prompt really sounded, [The plot line is on the right track, the intensification of the conflict between the two protagonists is currently at 30, 2 mission points is rewarded. ]
This time it only increased by 10, but it was quite a lot. Morrison gently supported Xi Ning’s hand and walked down, then quickly released him.
The president said a few more words, and then it was time for everyone to dine and dance at will. Morrison personally brought Xi Ning down. He should have stayed by his side or invited him to dance, but instead he looked blankly in another direction, and after returning to his senses, he only said, “I’m sorry, please excuse me,” and left in a hurry.
He guessed that he was looking for the other protagonist, Xi Ning looked around blankly and was also looking for someone, suddenly a person stretched out a hand in the dark and pulled him over.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one saw him, Louis dragged Xi Ning across the corridor to the bathroom, went into the same cubicle with him, locking the door, and rubbing the hand he had touched with Morrison slightly, with a gloomy expression on his face. “Stay away from him next time.”
Xi Ning knew that Louis would be jealous, so he leaned on his shoulder obediently. “Alright. Actually, he doesn’t like me either……”
“I think he likes you very much,” Louis gritted his teeth, thinking about the possibility of taking Xi Ning to escape from here now. “Those who want to marry what’s mine, not in a million year!”
“But I like you.” Xi Ning gently kissed Louis’ lips. The hand touched by Morrison was completely covered by Louis’ temperature. “You are such a jealous person……”
Louis was comforted a lot and was about to take Xi Ning back. He couldn’t leave the banquet for too long, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion. When he was about to unlock the door, there was a lot of noise from outside.
“Your Royal Highness Morrison, let me go!”
An unfamiliar male voice was mixed with anger, and there was the sound of someone smacking on the door of a certain compartment, and they heard Morrison’s voice speaking in a low voice, “A’Fei, why have you been avoiding me recently?”
Louis had a mixed expression on his face, and he lowered his head and looked at Xi Ning.
The person called A’Fei must be the protagonist shou. He didn’t say anything for a long time, but finally said, “You already have a fiancée. We should keep our distance, right?”
“I have no other choice……” Morrison hurriedly denied, “I don’t like him either.”
