Chapter 112
Now that he knew that Philip had no direct objection to his relationship with Annie, Li Changheng didn't want to, nor was he willing to intervene in the royal family's affairs.
Ninety percent of the English people are indeed used to the existence of the royal family, but the dirty and fighting between nobles and nobles, between nobles and capitalists, will never stop.
So what if he won the fight in the end, since Anne couldn't sit on the throne, wouldn't it be cheaper for Charles and his children?
Since the benefits of joining are pitifully small, he is not so stupid as to rush in.
Seeing the people around him looking at him with pitiful eyes, the corner of Li Changheng's mouth twitched. These idiots didn't understand that Philip did it on purpose.
Maybe the old man has an idea of a princess boyfriend who is not taken seriously in his heart. While being ignored by others, it is easy to do some secret things.
It's a pity that Li Changheng is not so easy to fool, and instead wants to find opportunities to meet the younger generation of nobles.
These people are more impulsive in their thinking and ways of doing things, and those young nobles whose families cannot make ends meet are definitely willing to pay some price in exchange for ways to make money.
And he didn't even believe that Philip would really ask him for help if he wanted to buy gold.
If that's the case, isn't it obvious to give someone a handle?
Annie, who was following Philip, was dazed with red eyes.
She just wanted to ease the verbal confrontation between her sweetheart and her father, but she didn't expect that Henry, who had always been gentle and considerate, would have a cold face, and almost stared at him angrily. Annie was about to cry out of aggrieved and panicked.
It made Philip's face look ugly.
Originally, he was sure that Li Changheng didn't get involved in the royal family's affairs at all, and he was very happy and surprised by Anne's eyes, but now Philip just wanted to beat Li Changheng severely.
He scolded Li Changheng as an asshole in his heart, and was angry at Annie for getting so deeply emotionally involved.
But in the end, as a father, he could only take advantage of the people around him to pick up grouse. He lowered his head and said to Annie, who had a sullen expression, "Honey, Henry and I are acting for others, do you understand?"
Annie was taken aback for a moment, and then a surprised, puzzled, and then ecstatic expression appeared on her face, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand to prevent her expression from being seen by the attendants.
When she put her hand down, her face returned to a sullen look again.
Philip watched and shook his head, feeling that women, no matter how old or young, are born actors.
Hunting in winter is usually half-morning and half-afternoon because the sky gets dark quickly, so lunch is of course simple food such as sandwiches and ham.
Standing next to the hood of a Land Rover with Annie, Li Changheng observed the crowd around him while eating the lunch prepared by Annie, and soon found that two older people appeared in the photos of Lauder Bank.
The corner of his mouth twitched, showing an inexplicable smile, and took the coffee cup Annie handed to him.
Seeing that he suddenly smiled, Annie couldn't help asking curiously, "Do you think of anything happy?"
"It's really a happy thing." Li Changheng took a sip of coffee, "However, it's better for you to know less about some things."
Annie glared at him angrily, "Hmph, you are as annoying as my father. Not only do you say half a sentence, but you also like to plot others secretly."
After saying this, thinking that Li Changheng hadn't apologized yet, Annie snorted dissatisfied.
"Okay, I apologize, my dear", Li Changheng finished speaking perfunctorily, and then said in a very formal tone, "From now on, don't ask about the matter between me and your father, don't worry about it, do you understand?"
"Oh," Annie nodded dissatisfied and helpless.
"Hey Henry".
Before Li Changheng turned his head, Annie frowned.
Looking back, Andrew walked over with a sandwich in one hand and a small steel coffee cup in the other, smiling.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness."
"Wait, wait," Andrew quickly shook his head and said, "You can still call me Andrew, lest Annie get angry at me."
Li Changheng smiled with a weird expression. This provocation was too obvious. However, seeing Andrew's young and immature face, he thought it was normal.
He rolled his eyes and said, "You want to invite me to participate in a competition to see who can hunt the most grouse?"
"how do you know?"
Andrew was surprised to see Li Changheng said with a smile, "We don't know each other well, except to embarrass me...".
Seeing Andrew busy looking at Annie, Li Changheng smiled and changed his words, "Since you don't want to embarrass me, then you have confidence in your shooting skills and want to take this opportunity to win some pocket money?"
"This, this,,".
Andrew, who is only 19 years old, has never met a person like Li Changheng who can guess what is in his heart just because of Annie's few words, and speak out directly without giving any face.
He was full of confidence at first, but suddenly felt that the game was not a good idea.
Moreover, Li Changheng had picked it out, and Andrew was too embarrassed to talk about money.
"Why don't we just play around and the loser will have a treat when he returns to London?"
Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, I don't like places that are too noisy, but it's okay to invite you to my house as a guest."
Hearing that he was going to his home instead of bars, nightclubs and other places, Andrew immediately lost interest, "Okay, I will call you when I have time, and I won't bother you and Anne."
Li Changheng smiled and nodded, and when Andrew walked away, Annie immediately warned, "Honey, if you let me know that you and Andrew are out messing around, I promise I won't talk to you for a month."
Just ignore yourself for a month?
A question suddenly popped up in my mind, could it be because of Philip that Annie's ability to accept men messing around outside is better than ordinary girls?
Hell, I seem to have accidentally learned a bigger secret than Princess Margaery's indecent photos.
Shaking his head helplessly, this is probably the real situation of the nobles.
A group of people who are richer than the middle class, and a few are richer than the rich. Although they have no real power, but their status is high enough, what will they think after eating and drinking? Needless to say?
Hearing Annie's dissatisfied 'hum', Li Changheng quickly nodded obediently, "Don't worry, my dear, I have always been very rational, and I understand how deep my love for you is."
Annie's face suddenly turned slightly red, and then she held a thermos cup with a smile on her face, refilling his coffee.
Only now did Li Changheng have the time to look at the two ugly old men who were photographed, "Annie, who are those two gentlemen?"
Annie followed Li Changheng's gaze, and was stunned for a few seconds before remembering the other party's name and said, "Lord Alpa Lott of the House of Lords and Mr. Selvy Hayes of the House of Commons.
What's up, honey, do you want to befriend them? "
Thinking that the House of Lords is full of nobles, the House of Commons is the center of power.
Li Changheng shook his head with a smile, "It's not necessary, I'm just wondering why Mr. Hayes is still wearing a bow tie in his windbreaker while hunting."
"Haha", upon hearing this, Anne smiled softly, "I heard that Mr. Hayes wears a dress or a suit with a bow tie at other times except when he is at home. No one has ever seen him appear in public in other clothes." .
'I've seen it before'.
