2249 Christmas Dinner

On the North American continent, the awards season is on the rise, and major film companies are gearing up for a new year.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the British Isles, Renly, the absolute center of conversation, slowed down, stayed away from the commotion, and got ready for Christmas in earnest.

It's been a long, long time since Renly left New York for Christmas, and even if he doesn't have a job, he doesn't organize formal Christmas dinners or participate in friends' family Christmas parties, and he doesn't seem to stay. With too many memories, this festival has passed from the fingertips.

This year, however, things are a little different:

Renly is officially back in London, and after a long journey, he finally returns home.

What's more, Edith also stayed in London.

So, Renly held a Christmas dinner in the Prince's Garden - Philip Demba was in charge, and the Hall's door was once again opened to welcome guests, but this time, the person who hosted the family dinner was Arthur for the first time, the Hall's family. The younger generation is shouldering the mission of the family and ushering in a new era.

Things finally started to look different.

The Christmas dinner at the Prince's Garden was full of activity.

Rooney Mara, who is in full swing in the UK to shoot a new work, won a short vacation because the entire crew was off for five days for Christmas. Instead of the long trip back to New York, Rooney stopped in London and spent time with Renly Second Christmas since dating.

Paul Walker left the warm and sunny Hawaii with Meadow, gave up the plan to spend Christmas with Meadow's mother Rebecca in Hawaii, and both came to London to experience the cold and dampness of white Christmas - for others For Meadow, who grew up on Oahu, the unavoidable snow is the most beautiful and precious Christmas gift.

A little bit unexpectedly, Ryan Gosling also appeared in the Prince's Garden with his girlfriend Eva Mendes. This is the first time that Ryan and Eva have officially appeared at a friend's banquet. Moreover, the first half of the year ended. After the release of his directorial work "Lost River", Ryan has been resting and adjusting for more than half a year, and has almost disappeared. His appearance at Christmas can be regarded as unexpected.

Chris Evans also did not return to the North American continent, but stayed with Edith in the Prince's Garden - this is undoubtedly a lot of pressure for Chris, because he needs to face the double of Renly and Arthur. Oppression, and to make matters worse, Matthew Dunlop also came.

Christmas is a holiday that belongs to the family. Compared with friends, more people still choose to spend it with their lover or family. The same is true of many of Renly's friends. Andre and Eaton both returned home. Andre needs to go north to Edinburgh. He has been complaining about the terrible weather in Scotland since three weeks ago, but he still can't get over it. Alexander's thigh, obediently went back.

Matthew is a special case.

Last year, Matthew's eldest brother, Henry Dunlop, came to New York to find the help of a private investigator. Before getting engaged, he needed to investigate his fiancée carefully, and then draw up a prenuptial agreement. On the one hand, it was because London had many eyes and ears, and on the other hand, it was because Because the fiancée is from Canada.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

After a long investigation and pre-marriage communication, everything has been settled. Henry's wedding date is finalized in February next year. The wedding will be held on a private island in the Caribbean Sea near Barbados. This will also be the younger generation of the Dunlop family. The first person to walk into the auditorium.

This Christmas, the Dunlop family needs to hold a formal reception - entertaining Henry's fiancée's family, which is considered to be the most important and grand meeting before the wedding.

But Matthew knew, and Henry knew too, that this was a dissappointment. Because Henry's fiancée is Canadian and an ordinary family, for the traditional British aristocracy, Canada is even more rural than the United States,

There are many, many things she needs to learn, adjust, and adapt to; similarly, the Dunlop family also needs to look to the future, because, unsurprisingly, Henry is the next Viscount Dunlop.

In this regard, Matthew did not care, nor did he care. Or to be more precise, he didn't want to be involved at all.

So, instead of going home, Matthew hid in the Prince's Garden.

Three days before Christmas, Matthew arrived at the Prince's Garden. After that, the housekeepers Haight Wesley and Henry Dunlop came to the door one after another, but they were all blocked by Renly, and Matthew stayed after all. , enjoy a moment of peace and spend this special Christmas.

"Tink tink, tink tink, tinkle bells. How happy we are skiing, we sit on the sleds."

Familiar Christmas songs came out from the direction of the neighbor next door, rustling snowflakes lightly covered clumps of evergreen plants, the sound of the flames in the living room fireplace warmed the air, and the LCD TV screen was playing With "Love First," the fast-paced waiters prepare for the upcoming dinner party, while the guests move back and forth between the living room and the study.

A Christmas dinner that belongs to the Prince's Garden, not so trendy, but not so traditional.

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

After getting a positive reply, Rooney pushed open the door of the room and walked in. At a glance, she saw Ren Li who was adjusting her bow tie in front of the full-length mirror. Her handsome and tall figure made people unable to look away.

"Hey." Renly noticed Rooney through the reflection in the mirror, turned around, stood there and looked at Rooney quietly, her eyes made Rooney a little uneasy, even a little reserved, and she couldn't help but stop. Come down, stay where you are, as if not sure what to do with yourself.

Renly could sense Rooney's nervousness, he temporarily put down his bow tie, took a step towards Rooney, gently wrapped his slender waist with his right hand, bowed his head and placed a kiss on Rooney's forehead, then put a kiss on Rooney's forehead. Rooney was fully embraced and whispered in her ear, "Tonight, you are very beautiful."

Simple and simple words, but with sincere power, let Rooney's tight shoulders slowly relax.

Rooney hugged Renly's back tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, her nose was filled with the dry breath that belonged to Renly, and the nervousness gradually settled down, her voice was muffled. From Renly's chest came, "I think I'm going to throw up."

At the charity auction in September, Rooney regretted missing the opportunity because of work, so her first official appearance at the London social occasion was postponed until Christmas, and she appeared on the stage in the Prince's Garden as Renly's girlfriend. She thought she would not be nervous, but she overestimated herself.

The low murmur raised the corners of Renly's mouth, "I think you're so cute, this is a side I've never seen before. It seems that you still have reservations about me."

It was a serious topic, but he responded with a joke.

Rooney raised her head suddenly, supported Renly's chest with her chin, widened her eyes, but did not speak, expressing her strong dissatisfaction in a silent way.

Renly chuckled softly, but did not continue to tease Rooney. He restrained the corners of his mouth and said seriously, "You shouldn't be nervous. Stick to your true self, that's enough. In Arthur's words, now The man standing in front of you is the most terrifying demon king of the Hall family, so I think you should already know how to deal with the other two Halls. What's more, Elf won't appear tonight, you can relax Take a breath."

Rooney couldn't help laughing at that relaxed and witty tone, but her focus was not here. Instead, she raised her right hand and gently smoothed the non-existent wrinkle between Renly's eyebrows with her index finger, and then word for word. Suddenly, he said softly, "The man standing in front of me is the most gentle and most beautiful being in the Hall family. Fortunately, I was the only one who discovered this. Do you know how lucky I am?"

Then, Rooney tiptoed lightly, leaving her own warmth on the soft lips.

Opening her eyes again, Rooney's expression was somewhat "tragic" and seemed determined, "I'm nervous, I'm very nervous, because I want to perform well. Not because I need their approval, but because they are yours Family, I know they are very important to you."

I am nervous because I care. not out of fear.

"So, I guess, nervousness can keep me vigilant and make sure I can perform well." Rooney exhaled, "I hope I can kill the audience!" Then, she saw the light flickering in Renly's eyes. With a smile, he couldn't help but add, "By the way, it's me this time, and it's your turn next time. Let me warn in advance that my family's banquet level may be over 100 people, and they are all a bunch of lunatics."

Rooney's eyes seemed to be gloating. Compared with the complexities of the Mara family, the Hall family was definitely a representative of the simple population - at least, the relatives of the Hall family had gradually moved away, George Huo Er's downfall has scattered the once huge family; but the Mara family is not.

Imagining Renly being in the official feast of the Mara family, Rooney was a little excited.

Just as Rooney was about to turn around and leave, Renly embraced Rooney in his arms again, and sealed the corners of the lightly raised mouth with his own lips. All the oxygen between the individuals was drained, and the chest began to rise and fall violently.

Because of the lack of oxygen, Rooney's brain was a little chaotic, she pressed her forehead against Renly's chest, breathing rapidly, and then she heard Renly's mellow voice, pulling the strings in a low voice, "Remember , don't wake up the demons easily, otherwise, even Mage Merlin can't save the disaster. Be careful what you make. No one... knows what will happen."
