An engagement was not like a wedding. There were not so many formalities. Everyone gathered together, food and wine were served, and they ate, drank, and played together.
This was not a very formal occasion, so when Li Du invited Steve and Porter, he thought they would not come. After all, Porter was in Los Angeles, but Steve was in the northeast corner of the United States, which was too far.
In the end, Steve came anyway. From this point of view, he was very loyal to Li Du.
This kind of party was a chance for everyone to get together. Sophie's father made a toast on behalf of both parents. After announcing Li Du and Sophie's engagement, both sides raised their glasses to celebrate, and then they could go about their own activities.
Porter and Steve were the center of the activity. Cole and the others surrounded the two, which showed the importance of family power in American society.
Li Du introduced the Son of God and Magic Hand to them. It was useless to introduce Flagstaff's treasure hunters, as they were not in the same circle.
The five little ones were looking for food in the crowd, but someone provoked Ah Meng. Ah Meng was so angry that he jumped on the spot.
"This puppy is really interesting," someone laughed.
Li Du broke out in a cold sweat. Ah Meng was an African beast. How could it be a puppy? Had the honey badger ever said that Africa was chaotic?
Sophie took out the honey to appease Ah Meng. She stroked Ah Meng's head and smiled at Li Du. "Ah Meng doesn't know who stepped on Ah Meng. He can only sulk."
This was the result of the honey badger's brain being modified. Otherwise, with Ah Meng's character, if it could not find anyone, it would bite them one by one.
The intelligence of the five little ones was unseen anywhere. They moved around the party and caused a lot of laughter. They could be said to be responsible for the atmosphere of the event.
Li Du knew how difficult it was to please these little ones. He stared at them to prevent them from exploding if they were not willing.
At this time, Steve broke away from the circle of Cole and the others. He came over with a glass of wine and gestured to Li Du. "Hey, Li, happy engagement. Cheers."
Li Du clinked glasses with him. He thought Steve meant to drink after a toast, but Steve drank it in one gulp!
Seeing this, Li Du hurriedly said, "Drink slowly, Steve. Health is important."
Steve smiled as he flexed his muscles and said, "I'm fine now. After I came back from Australia, I used the new medicine. As long as I take the medicine regularly, my heart will be completely fine."
Li Du also finished his glass of wine and said, "Then not only to my engagement, but also to your health."
Steve smacked his lips and said, "Actually, not only did I switch to a more effective medicine, but I've also been working out recently. By the way, I heard that you went to Africa?"
Li Du nodded. "Yes, I went to Africa and found a diamond mine there."
He felt that Steve's previous change in tone was too stiff, and the other party's attitude towards him was a little too sincere and warm. To be honest, Li Du was a little overwhelmed.
Steve exclaimed, "I heard about it. It's unbelievable. You found a diamond mine. It's a diamond mine!"
"I was lucky," Li Du smiled politely. "I saved a pygmy, and he happened to know about the existence of a diamond mine. Otherwise, how could I go to Africa and find a diamond mine?"
Steve said, "Do you have any plans for adventures now?"
Li Du was stunned and asked, "Adventures?"
Steve said, "Yes, you went to Australia and Africa as an adventurer, didn't you? You are also good friends with Adventurer Tang. You are both adventurers, aren't you? "
Li Du blinked. He did not understand what Steve was saying, so he continued to ask, "Adventurer Tang?"
Suddenly, he realized who Steve was talking about, and continued to ask, "Tang Chaoyang? Song Biaozi? A guy who's even younger than me? "
Steve nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, that's him, Adventurer Tang."
Li Du said, "I don't know him very well. We just have some business dealings. Maybe you don't believe me, but I don't even know what he does. He is very mysterious. "
Steve laughed and nodded again. "I believe you. You are right. He is very mysterious. He is a mysterious guy. Of course, he is also a very powerful guy! "
Combined with the previous words and Steve's interest, Li Du pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go on an adventure?"
Steve's expression suddenly became serious. He smiled and said, "We Tussenberg men are adventurers. My dream since I was a child was to go to some mysterious places and see the magnificent and magical nature."
Li Du remembered that when he was in Australia, Steve had insisted on accompanying him to mine. He did not understand why Steve had such an interest at the time.
Now, after listening to him, Li Du understood that Steve liked to touch fresh food. Looking for minerals was a kind of adventure, and he liked this way of life.
Li Du did not know much about the Tussenberg family. He knew that Steve was related to the Vanderbilts, who were in the transportation business, but he did not know much about other aspects.
He was silent, thought for a moment, and said, "You want to go on an adventure? I don't quite understand. Adventures are very dangerous … "
"I know, but the risk is often proportional to the reward. Adventures can see a lot of things that only exist in the imagination, and you can make money, just like you. Isn't it great?" Steve interrupted him.
Li Du still did not understand what he meant. "Why do you want to take risks? I don't mean to offend you. I'm serious, Steve. Your family has status and money. You don't lack anything. Why do you want to take risks? "
Steve stared at him and asked, "What about you? Why do you like to take risks?"
Li Du laughed and said, "I don't like to take risks."
"Australia and Africa. I know about your experience looking for diamond mines in Africa. You dealt with two warlords and overthrew one of them."
Li Du did not know how to explain. He could only say, "I didn't go on an adventure. I went to Africa because I had no choice."
Hearing this, Steve looked disappointed and said, "I see. It seems that I misunderstood you."
Li Du said, "You want to take risks because life is too boring?"
Steve shook his head and said, "No, that's one of the reasons. There are many reasons why I want to take risks. My family heritage, my hobbies, and my responsibility."
He sighed and said helplessly, "I thought you were an adventurer like Dunn. I wanted to ask you for help, but it seems that I can't."
Li Du said, "What help? I'd be happy to help you. "
Steve said listlessly, "Nothing. I want to go to the North Pole, but I can't do it myself, so I need an adventurer to help me."
