Chapter 103 The Boat Is Rocking, and so Are the People
Seeing Li Changheng lowered his head in thought, Annie thought he was worried that he would spend money indiscriminately, so she hurriedly said, "Honey, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing." Li Changheng shook his head, and then thought that if he didn't give Annie a clear limit on the amount, this chick might be able to spend tens or millions of pounds.
"Will £300,000 be enough for renovations?"
Annie, whose face was full of anticipation, suddenly froze, and then said blankly, "I, I don't know."
Seeing Annie's confused look, Li Changheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "The budget is only 300,000 pounds, if it's too much, it will affect my business, understand?"
"oh".
It was the first time that Annie got the right to control such a large amount of money. While Annie was happy, she was also a little worried that she could not do well.
"By the way," Li Changheng said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you about the yacht a few days ago?
How about we take a boat down the Thames into the sea and celebrate our new house at sea? "
"To celebrate at sea?"
Annie's big eyes almost narrowed for joy, but then she hesitated and said, "Aren't we coming back today?"
Of course not coming back.
The corner of Li Changheng's mouth twitched, Philip wanted to test himself, if he didn't fight back, the old guy's attitude towards him might be very strong from the beginning.
I am dating Annie, or even getting married, but I don't want to find a father who cares about everything.
And Annie knew that if she went to sea for a few days and didn't come home, she would definitely be scolded.
But when she thought of those people who usually have a straight face in daily communication, but their private life is a mess, and they even had illegitimate children outside the aristocratic children before they reached adulthood, she shuddered in her heart.
She would rather go to sea and come back to be punished than marry that kind of person.
The two packed up, put on hats, glasses, and scarves to cover their faces, and drove out to buy a lot of food, fishing tackle, thick windproof clothes, gloves, cameras, and enough film.
After getting ready, followed by Ms. Meryl and four bodyguards, they went to the marina in London.
In the car by the pier, Li Changheng wrote a check for 5,000 US dollars, watching Annie tell Meryl to take advantage of these three days to clean up the house on Huayuan Street first.
When the food, fishing tackle and other things were all loaded onto the yacht, to his surprise, Anne refused to let Meryl and the bodyguards board.
Until the yacht slowly left the pier, he was a little surprised to see Annie, who showed an air of inviolability when she taught others just now.
I thought with emotion in my heart, that is, when I was with myself, Annie was not a princess but a woman in love.
Meryl and the others were of course worried about Annie's safety, but Annie put away her smile and simply said that she was an adult and had two older brothers, and forced Meryl and the bodyguards back with a change in expression.
This made Li Changheng think that when the two accompanying earls found Anne missing in Rome more than two months ago, their first thought was to protect the image of England and the royal family and strictly guard the secret of her late-night outings.
It wasn't until the next day that dozens of Englishmen rushed to Rome that they really started looking for Anne.
Aren't these bastards worried that something will happen to Annie if she goes out alone overnight?
Perhaps in the eyes of the great nobles, the royal family is only the highest rank of nobles, let alone a princess, even a prince cannot affect the noble system and image.
And Annie seems to have understood this truth early on, and when she meets someone she loves, she doesn't hesitate to hold her in her hand.
Li Changheng shook his head helplessly, hugged Annie and kissed her face several times in distress.
Annie, who felt the love of her sweetheart but didn't know the reason, didn't care how much she lay on his shoulders, watching Li Changheng sail the boat with a smile and love on her face, while talking to him about how to decorate the house, and about herself. Things from childhood.
Three hours later, the boat sailed into the open sea ten kilometers away from the coast and stopped the boat. Li Changheng picked up Annie, who was already sleeping on his shoulder, and entered the cabin.
A few hours later, with the non-stop ups and downs of the boat, an up and down, or a tandem and a back two-person fight began in the cabin.
Three days passed before the wooden yacht slowly appeared on the Thames under the eager eyes of many people, and the telegram immediately appeared in front of Philip.
Philip, who had been worried for three whole days, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then muttered 'bastard' in his mouth.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the butler, "I plan to go to Sandringham in Norfolk the day after tomorrow to check the preparations for the Shooting Festival on the second day of Christmas this year.
You help me extend an invitation to that young man named Henry Lee to accompany me."
"Coming together?" The butler looked at Philip in surprise, but he couldn't directly say that this was not in line with etiquette and rules.
He could only gently remind him, "Your Majesty, are you also issuing an order to the nobles who have the identity of the Royal Guard?"
"No need," Philip shook his head directly, "this time is just a private meeting between a father and his daughter's boyfriend."
When the fishing boat docked at the yacht dock, there were more than a dozen people waiting for Annie, and Annie looked at Li Changheng worriedly.
"Henry".
Li Changheng nodded with a smile, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, if you develop the photos we took these days and hand them to your father, he will definitely understand what I mean, and then he won't blame you again."
"That's it?"
Annie looked at the smiling Li Changheng with a reddish face, then shook her head violently, "You are crazy, Henry, this must not work."
"It's definitely not a problem," Li Changheng recalled that he and Annie still had many photos taken kissing each other, "Forget it, I'll take you to develop the photos."
Since Margaery's indecent photos and negatives are all in his hands, it means that no matter how many photos of him and Anne he gave Philip this time, they are actually useless.
But these photos can alleviate Philip's worries.
And it can also leave a subconscious mind in Philip's heart that Annie and Li Changheng are already together.
After finding a photo studio by car, Li Changheng got out of the car alone and paid to enter the darkroom where the photos were developed.
It took a lot of time to eliminate a lot of bad negatives, and then developed five pictures of Annie holding his arm, or sitting together, leaning her head on his shoulder.
When people look at Annie's smile, they will know that she and Li Changheng are lovers, sweet and not deliberate photos.
After taking these photos, Li Changheng thought about it and simply hired a photo studio.
I did it myself, using a camera as big as an old-fashioned box, and took a few photos of the two sitting on a stool with their heads slightly tilted towards each other.
By the time the group photos were developed, it was already past 3 pm.
Sitting in the car, seeing Annie excitedly and happily looking at the photos of the two of them, Li Changheng suddenly wondered whether he was calculating too much.
Then he shook his head helplessly, thinking that the two of them would be together in the end.
Otherwise, the decadent, arrogant, and old-fashioned nobles in England would not only not accept him if he was rich, but they would envy him in their hearts and say with contempt that he was just a nouveau riche.
"Honey, are you sure that after seeing the photo of the two of us, my father won't be so angry that he can't eat dinner and punish me more?"
"Don't worry," Li Changheng smiled and kissed Annie's forehead, "If it's just that you can't eat dinner, it can solve your father's heart disease, and he certainly doesn't care about your going to sea."
And these photos can also show Philip that he is not just a young man who only wants to make money.
