Chapter 959

2014-09-07

Not to mention how Philip and Allen communicated here, a moment later, East City District. In front of a small but equally exquisite building, the luxurious carriage that had just arrived from Beicheng slowly stopped.

It's just a few exquisite small buildings, and certainly not a manor in terms of scale. However, the identity of the holder is the same as the owner of the surrounding manor and castle, and they are all nobles. This is not to say how shabby the nobles live here, but that each noble family has its own territorial main house. In other cities, there is no need to be so exaggerated. It is enough to build a few small buildings as a place to stay. .

Immediately, Annika, who was wearing a long white cotton gauze dress, stepped off the carriage. In the exquisite small building, a young woman dressed in black casual clothes with long hair in a ponytail, who looks mature and capable but does not lose her aristocratic temperament, hurried out to greet her.

Salute, said with a smile, "Good morning, Annika, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why, isn't Mr. Allen here?"

"Good morning, Sister Becky." In return, Annika stepped forward and hugged the young noble woman called Becky, "Sorry, I made an appointment for you. But there is a guest at home, so he can't come this time."

"Oh, that's a pity. But it doesn't matter, I'll have a chance next time." Becky was a little disappointed when he heard this, but then he adjusted it well and said with understanding.

"Why wait for the next time? Sister Becky." Annika blinked her bright eyes, raised her chin slightly, and proudly revealed a few inches of her slender neck, "I, Annika, will be the The Chief-In-Charge, who negotiated this cooperation, promised Yatang Business Group to cooperate with the family.

Becky was stunned. came back to his senses and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Ellen is really good to you!" After a while. Look at Annika's proud little face. Laughing, she reached out and pressed her raised chin, "hehe, I see, Annika Chief-In-Charge, I'll take good care of you, the little president."

"Becky—sister— With a snarl, Annika shook Becky's arm, and sadly lowered her slightly red face, "Don't make fun of me. My sister is the real business family female president."

This is not entirely true According to mutual praise, Annika and Becky have a very good relationship, and naturally they know what kind of ability this best friend has. Logically speaking, as an aristocrat, it is a matter of course to have access to family business. But don't forget, Becky's identity is a noble lady, and the business field is not something she should be involved in, nor is she good at doing. But not only did she do it, she did it well, and it was dazzling. This is evident from the fact that the family will send her over to negotiate with the hot Yatang Business Group this time!

However. Becky did not show the proud and joyful look he should have after being praised. Instead, the corners of his mouth raised a bit of bitterness. He sighed softly: "Is it amazing? It's all forced out..."

Annika covered her mouth and whispered softly, "Ah—I'm sorry, Miss Becky, I'm not. I meant to mention this."

"Hehe, it's okay...you enviable little fellow." Nodding on Annika's smooth forehead, she immediately cleared up her expression, Becky said with a smile .

The two are standing together, obviously the age gap is similar, but the temperament is completely different, one is mature and calm, the other is innocent and squeamish. And Annika, who was called 'little fellow', didn't care at all, as if it should be so normal, hugging Becky's arm and acting like a spoiled child.

"Okay, okay, since Mr. Allen didn't come, then this date doesn't need to be so formal and polite... Let's go, you go to my room first, and I'll bring you a glass of honey water. ..."

"Thank you, I want to add sweet pomelo spice."

"Got it, my little Sir President!"

"Yeah, Sister Becky, you're making fun of me again..."

...

Maybe because this date is more important, and I'm worried that the wall will have ears, Becky temporarily dismissed the servant. So when Annika walked into the exquisite small building, she did not see who.

And when the familiar pushed Becky's room away, "Wow—" Annika couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed, looking slightly startled.

The room is not big, and it is not as luxurious and exquisite as the boudoir of a noble lady. Instead, it looks a bit messy. The most conspicuous is a wide desk, much larger than the dresser, almost equal to the soft bed, piled with thick books, sheets of wool paper, and an unfinished azure drink. ...oh, that's a refreshing bittersweet for staying up late at work. Annika once saw Ellen drink it, and she took a sip out of curiosity, and then never touched it again...

"Sister Becky..." came back to his senses, Annika looked at In front of all this, I seem to see Becky wearing a coat, drinking bitter juice, bowing his head and staying up late to deal with various family affairs... Unconsciously biting his lips, showing admiration and pity, "Too, too hard... This is not It should be something you're carrying..."

Being both nobles and being so familiar, Annika is naturally aware of the situation in Becky's family.

It was a prominent count family, the contemporary old count patriarch and even a City Lord. As the youngest daughter in the direct line of the family, Becky should have enjoyed a carefree and beautiful life like the overwhelming majority aristocratic lady. However, after the two big brothers died of illness one after another, and the old count resigned from the position of City Lord, everything changed. All the family burdens were placed on her shoulders... In fact, she could not accept it at all, and married step by step. An aristocratic family with a well-matched family, all pressure will go away from her, and no one will say anything about it. But she didn't. She chose to participate in family affairs, and took over the family's business burden one after another. It has grown to this day...

"Hey, why don't you go in, what are you doing standing at the door?" Just when Annika was in a trance , Becky came from behind with two pale-yellow drinks, then looked at Annika's blank eyes, thought of something, and shrugged apologetically, "Oh, sorry. I saw something last night and forgot to pack it. , it should be very messy inside."

"No, no..." I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now after seeing the scene in front of her, Annika noticed the faint bloodshot of Becky in the eyes, and the surrounding area. The gloom under the light makeup, the tiredness that could not be concealed, could not help but come forward and hugged in distress, "Sister Becky. So... so you have been working so hard all the time."

He was stunned. Becky understands. Shaking his head lightly said with a smile: "Oh, it's not always like this, and it's not as hard as you think."

"But..."

Interrupted with a wave of hands , Becky said casually with a smile: "It's really nothing, I like my current Condition very much, very fulfilling, very fulfilling!"

It seems that I don't want to talk more about this matter, so please comfort a few after the sentence. Becky put down the tray and opened up the topic at will: "Tell me, Annika, I found a good man and got engaged. Well, when are you going to get married?"

Is it true that you have never experienced wind and Rain's noble lady, Annika didn't realize that the topic had been taken away, she pouted when she heard the words, unable to lie on her back on the soft bed, whispered: "What's the matter..."

"Huh?" Becky astonished. Immediately thought of something, browses slightly wrinkle. Seriously said, "Is this still not satisfactory? Annika, although Allen is not a nobleman, he is not so handsome. But I believe that when you have enough experience, you will know that he has a better skin than those Kong. But I only know that the nobles who enjoy themselves are much better!"

"Uh, that's not the case, Becky, you misunderstood." Annika was stunned for a moment, then sat up quickly, shaking her head in denial. .

"What's the reason for that... um, isn't there something wrong with him?" Becky touched his chin, solemnly nodded, "Well, that's really a big problem!"

Although they are elegant and noble, the two women get together in private. As long as the relationship is close enough, the content of the conversation is really free of taboos. "Ah? No, no, we're not married yet, he respects me very much, not to that point...Becky ——sister——"

coquettishly, looking at the smiling Becky, Annika, who was in a panic, didn't know that she was being teased. She subconsciously pulled the blanket to cover her flushed face, and then she got up and hugged Becky's lovable body, shaking for a while.

"Okay, okay, it's my sister's fault... don't shake it, but you have to tell me what's wrong with him?"

It seems like he was caught by this question After draining all the strength in his body, Becky sat on the wooden chair beside the desk, bit his lip and hesitated, and finally said hesitantly: "Actually, this is just my intuition. I don't think Alan likes him that much. I, at least not with all my heart... When he looked at me, touched my hair, kissed, kissed me, it always felt... he was facing another person, and I was just a substitute..."

paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, and continued to worry, "By the way, last time I went to the north, he said he would take me to see a very important elder sister named Lena. Sister Becky, you You know, that Lena's appearance and body are really similar to mine. You say, Ellen, will he...will he really like that Lena?"

tone barely fell, "haha..." Becky burst into laughter, pointing at Annika, who looked stunned, and leaned over to support her waist, as if she was about to laugh outright, until Annika showed a look of embarrassment, before panting said with a smile, "Annika, Annika, what are you thinking, haha...I know Lena, she is an Alchemy Master with outstanding talent, and is also the chief designer of creative products of Yatang Business Group. It can be said that Yatang Business The reason why the Group has grown to this size is that she is the most important meritorious veteran... Ellen and her are the closest partners and orphans. If you find a lover, of course you have to bring them over to meet. But you , hū chī ... but you are guarding against each other, haha ..."

"Don't laugh, Sister Becky... I know all this, but I just don't feel right." Annika pouted dissatisfied. .

Covering his chest, he managed to stop his laughter, Becky shook his head sternly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about whether there is someone else in Ellen's heart. Annika, you have to remember that everyone Everyone has their own sex, and some sex is something that lovers, couples, and parents can't tell. And there is absolutely no need to worry about these. You only need to know one thing, even if Ellen has someone else in his heart, he will choose you in the end. , it's you who wears the wedding ring and spends the rest of your life together - confirm this, for us women, it's enough."

"Is that really the case?" Annika asked slowly. .

"Of course!" replied affirmatively, and then Becky's mouth raised a sarcastic arc, "Annika, you are also a nobleman, you should know the dirty things in this circle. Compared with those who are still showing mercy after getting married , even blatantly raising love outside. The bastard man, just thinking about Alan, how decent and rare."

"Oh, I understand." It was an intuition, now Hearing Becky's well-founded and detailed analysis again, Annie Catton felt the gloom in her heart disappear. A happy smile hung on his face again. "Thank you. Miss Becky. Listening to what you said, my Alan is really a rare good man, hehe..."

"My Alan..." Becky curl pretended to be annoyed one's lip, "Dare you today to show your affection and stimulate me."

"Of course not, I really have doubts." Annika hurriedly hugged Becky to please. Arms, eyes rolled, "Right. Sister Becky, do you have someone you like?"

"If you don't change the subject, don't talk about it." Angrily, she flicked Annika's clean forehead. , Becky tidied up his clothes a little and said casually, "No." Sticking out her tongue, Annika asked in disbelief, "Why, there are so many people chasing you."

This is a fact, Becky is a The noble lady is also a very beautiful noble lady. After the family business. It adds a bit of a unique temperament that most noble ladies do not have, and is naturally more popular.

But Becky was calm: "It's just so many scumbags. Even if there are occasionally a few who are not, it's not just me who likes it."

Annika couldn't help hearing this. Silently, she has been with Becky for a long time after getting to know each other, and she has heard a lot. After she has broadened her knowledge, Annika has really understood the sloppy nature of those noble young people who pride themselves on being elegant. And the ordinary young people who are self-motivated, the purpose of pursuing Becky will not be so simple. After all, not all young people from ordinary backgrounds are Allen. Becky is now the only direct eldest daughter of the count family. After marrying her, she is ascending to the skies with a single leap. Few people can resist this temptation...

Realizing that she asked the wrong question, Annika turned her head in embarrassment, patted the thick stack of books on the table, and awkwardly changed the subject: "Sister Becky's eyes are too high, and, look at , you work so hard, how can you have time to fall in love... Hey, what is this?"

After a pause, when he was taking a photo of a certain open book, the next one was caught in the middle. The white paper inside fell on the table. Subconsciously bowing his head, it is a portrait painting, except for the eyes that are too narrow and long, the rest of the four features and face are all ordinary men.

The pen is finely crafted, and the fineness is visible. It is obviously a fine product after a long time of polishing.

"Ha, look what I found." came back to his senses, Annika quickly picked up the portrait, like a weasel in a chicken coop, looking at the thief with a stunned expression Becky, "It's hidden deep enough, Sister Becky, you've put each other's portraits in the books you must read every day... Can't get it, hehe..."

The arm pinnacle leaned back, avoiding Becky The palm grabbed, "Give it back to me, Annika, it's not what you think, this... I don't know where this portrait came from, I haven't seen this book yet." He opened his mouth and defended, For the first time, Becky, who had always maintained a mature and calm attitude, appeared panicked.

After flexibly dodging and stepping back, Annika proudly raised the portrait and stroked the edge of the paper with her fingers: "Haha, you can't lie to me, Miss Becky. The edge of the paper is so soft, it's obvious that it's been watched and stroked for a long time. The result. Tell me honestly, who is he?"

Seeing that she couldn't scare the usually stunned Annika, Becky quickly changed her strategy and pressed down: "Okay, I admit, I do know each other. He, but he's really not my lover."

"Who is he?" Annika made it clear that she didn't believe it, but before Becky could make up a reason, she was stunned when she looked at the portrait in her hand, subconsciously He said in a low voice, "Hey, strange. Why does the face look familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

"He is...what!" Becky's body shook violently when he heard this, and grabbed Annika's wrist , said excitedly, "Have you seen him? Really? Where is it? Tell me now!"

"Ah—Sister Becky, you hurt me." She exclaimed, Annika subconsciously broke free .

He released his wrist instantly and grabbed Annika's shoulder instead, "Sorry, sorry... It's my sister's mistake, think about it, think about it, where have you seen him!"

"Uh..." Annika was taken aback by Becky who was so excited, this was the first time she had seen it. And Becky in the eyes doesn't seem to be the joy of suddenly hearing about the lover's news, but... resentment? The excitement and hatred that cannot be concealed...is it an illusion?

"I, I also forgot, I just feel very familiar..."

…………

(ps: Some people say that the civet cat forgot Becky This pit, hum, you are too naive, is the nickname of Demon King for nothing?)
