Chapter 758 Are You so Afraid that Something Will Happen to Me?

Chapter 758 Are you so afraid that something will happen to me?

After a long while, Yun Li regained his composure, pretending to be relaxed and teasing, "Are you so afraid that something will happen to me?"

"Well, I'm afraid." Li Qiao's frankness caused an unspeakable soreness in his throat.

Three years ago, if it wasn't for Xiao Yehui, she wouldn't have walked away from the border.

If she doesn't leave, there may be infinite possibilities in the future.

Now that he had no chance to fight side by side with Li Qiao, he was inseparable.

What he can do for her is to do his best in her contest with Xiao Yehui!

Yun Li looked away, his eyes were bloodshot, "Little brat, do you know how much inside information I can give you by staying here? The cause of Xiao Yehui's mother's death, the relationship between Xiao's brothers, and even I have found out about dozens of things in this manor. You dismissed all the servants years ago, you..."

"I don't need it." Li Qiao gave the answer calmly. She stared at Yun Li's white hair and paused every word, "Your safety is more important."

After all, Yun Li couldn't say no to such Li Qiao.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed at himself, "Are you really not afraid of hitting my self-esteem at all, are you so sure that I will be exposed?"

Li Qiao heard the compromise in Yun Li's words, and her face softened a little, "I just can't trust the Xiao family."

Yun Li lowered his head and lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and asked, "It's fine to go with you, but how did you get in?"

"I'm invited to attend." Li Qiao stood up slowly, "Change into clothes and go to the front of the castle, just look for the entourage of Marquis Lawrence."

Yun Li stopped smoking, and said clearly: "No wonder I didn't see your names in the banquet list, it turned out to be Marquis Lawrence."

Li Qiao didn't stay for long, she handed the brooch and communicator hidden on her shoulder strap to Yun Li, and after a few more instructions, she left the stable and stone house first.

Yun Li stood near the grille window watching her figure walking into the night, looked down at the object in his palm, shook his head and laughed.

His stubbornness and persistence are still so vulnerable in front of her.

...

Li Qiao returned to the courtyard of the castle along the original road, and it took only 20 minutes before and after, which was smoother than she imagined, and even gave her the illusion that it was too smooth.

She suppressed the suspicion in her heart, reappeared in the courtyard, glanced casually, and saw Shang Yu sitting upright.

Li Qiao walked over holding the hem of her skirt. Under the dim light curtain, the man's stern expression gradually softened. He pulled her arm and raised his head slightly: "Did you find it?"

Oh, he found out.

Li Qiao nodded calmly, "He will go with us tonight."

Shang Yu touched her cool wrist, got up and took off his suit and put it on her shoulders, "Let's go."

Five minutes before the banquet started, Li Qiao returned to the castle hall, faintly feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Along the way, she didn't see the bodyguards and the Cavaliers, and even the number of guests clinging to each other seemed to be much less.

It wasn't until entering the banquet hall that Li Qiao understood the ins and outs from their conversation.

It turned out that someone lost valuable jewelry half an hour ago, and the bodyguards and knights in the manor were all transferred to the front yard to help search.

The person who threw the jewels, the layman, Xi Luo.

In the banquet hall, five long tables are placed in the hall, a standard noble high table dinner arrangement, and the servants are arranged in two rows.

According to the classification of nobles, Li Qiao and Shang Yu's marquis were seated in the first row, opposite Xi Luo.

As an entourage, Gu Chen couldn't enter the castle, and right now he was squatting by the fountain lake in the front yard, cursing resentfully.

As for Xia Siyu and others, they were seated at the fifth long table. Since they did not have noble status, they could only sit in the guest seats.

A dinner, quite satisfactory.

Except for occasional toasts and drinks, the atmosphere was peaceful.

After the western desserts, the dinner was coming to an end.

The screen in the middle of the banquet hall was removed, and this kind of banquet would naturally have a European-style social ball for nobles.

When the melodious opening music sounded, Xiao Yehui, as the opening dance guest, led a blond woman in a starlight streamer skirt into the dance floor.

In Li Qiao's eyes, the aristocratic dinner, which was quite boring, finally had some unexpected signs.

Shen Qingye said that Xiao Yehui would announce his marriage partner tonight.

And the woman he is holding at the moment is the second crown prince's daughter, Princess Margaery.

In the center of the dance floor surrounded by crowds, Xiao Yehui looked at Princess Margaery affectionately, and the two danced to the music.

At this time, Xi Luo cleverly came to Li Qiao's side, and smiled and pouted towards the dance floor, "My best friend, Princess Margaery."

Li Qiao was slightly taken aback, it was true...unexpectedly.

After the dance was over, Xiao Yehui and Xiao Yehui bowed and thanked each other, but they did not leave the stage.

Princess Margaery took his arm, and facing everyone's eyes, Xiao Yehui said warmly: "Let me introduce to you the beautiful lady beside me, she is the daughter of the Second Crown Prince of Weston, It will also be the future Duchess of Charmain, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaery."

The audience was in an uproar.

The marriage between the duke and the royal family can be called a strong alliance.

It is no wonder that this year's Duke Charmain's Mansion invited many guests, originally to announce the marriage news.

If this news does not come out tonight, it will definitely be on the front page of the British Emperor Times tomorrow.

There were not a few people congratulating at the scene, and Xiao Yehui and Princess Margaret's seemingly agreeable thanks became the focus of tonight.

Not long after, other nobles also entered the dance floor to dance, and Xiao Yeyan's female companion was Ye Jing.

The dance floor lasted for more than an hour, and at eight o'clock, everyone was invited to enjoy the fireworks show on the castle platform of the Duke's Mansion.

As the night was thick, Li Qiao and Shang Yu climbed up the spiral stairs of the platform calmly, and at the corner, a figure slowly appeared with the Cavaliers.

Li Qiao knew that they would meet on a narrow road, she looked at Xiao Yehui expressionlessly, and looked away within a second.

Xiao Yehui's eyebrows and eyes were as warm and jade-like as before, and he walked slowly, smiling unabated, "Marquis Lawrence."

Shang Yu's suit was still draped over Li Qiao's body, and the Windsor knot on the neckline had already been taken off. Even in a simple black shirt, his silent aura should not be underestimated.

The man hooked his thin lips, his eyes were as deep as the sea, "Young Master Xiao."

It is probably impossible for Shang Yu to call the Duke and give him a gentleman's courtesy.

Xiao Yehui didn't hold back on this either. He stood still with his hands behind his back, and responded with a smile: "I heard that the old Marquis gave up the title of Marquis to his nephew with a foreign surname before his death. It turned out to be Mr. Shang. But... the old Marquis is a pure Westerner. It seems that there is no record of marriage with the people of the country by the blood of the collateral lineage of foreign surnames. So it really surprised me that Mr. Shang can become the successor Marquis."

Shang Yu put one hand into his pocket, raised his deep eyes, and a cold smile hung on his lips, "I am so honored to surprise Mr. Xiao, the old Marquis must be very honored."
