Maybe it's because I'm pretty.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, He Sijie threw the game controller to the side and turned to leave.
The other children looked at each other, then followed He Sijie and left. Hongyan scratched her head and said apologetically, "I think I went a little overboard … That kid wouldn't be angry, right? His complexion is so bad, he was clearly normal just now. "
Adam looked in the direction He Sijie left, deep in thought.
Qiao Qiao frowned, "That kid Sijie's temper is getting worse and worse, I think I've been too lenient with that kid."
"Ah Yan, the Little Highness seems to like playing with you."
Adam said meaningfully.
When Hongyan heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand in denial, saying, "That's not it. Every time I say that I'm in the game, that brat would put on a sour face and look very unwilling. It's always me who's thick-skinned and forced my way in."
Adam heard this and laughed inwardly. If Sijie was really unwilling, he wouldn't have let her join in. That kid was someone who didn't mean what he said.
He reached out and pinched Hongyan's cheek, saying, "Let me see how thick your skin is."
Hongyan bared her teeth and pretended to bite him, saying, "Why are you like this? I was obviously joking, and you took it seriously. My skin is very thin, so you have to be careful. Don't pinch my face. "
Adam raised his eyebrows, "Then I want to see how thin your skin is …"
As he said this, he reached out and pinched Hongyan's cheek again.
Qiao Qiao looked at the two of them showing off their affection as if there was no one else around and the corner of her mouth twitched. These two people really treated her like air.
"Ahem."
She purposely made a sound.
Hongyan and Adam turned to look at her at the same time. Qiao Qiao said, "Image! Be careful of your image! There are so many people watching. Don't abuse the single dog. "
Hongyan retorted, "Isn't Mr. He here too? Qiao Qiao, you can show off too. "
Qiao Qiao's eyes darkened as she listened.
Hongyan knew that she had said something wrong the moment she said it. She was about to apologize when Qiao Qiao changed the topic. "I almost forgot that there's a tea party this afternoon. There will be many young ladies from prestigious families coming to have fun. Ah Yan, do you want to come too?"
When Hongyan heard this, she shook her head. "I think I'll pass. I'm just a commoner. I can't talk to those noble ladies."
"You're already with Adam. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to connect with these people? Adam is a consultant specially hired by the J Country's royal family. He is also the head of the J Country's investigation department. If you marry him and let Ravel bestow upon you the title of Honorary Lady, you will be envied by everyone. "
"But …"
Hongyan was still thinking of an excuse to refuse when Adam said, "Go."
"Adam?"
Hongyan did not expect that even Adam would not be on her side.
Adam said, "You can't always reject these kinds of occasions. If you really marry me, there will be many such occasions in the future. You can refuse once, but you can't always refuse. It's also a kind of experience to interact with people of different social classes."
Hongyan was still a little reluctant. She felt that it was troublesome to interact with those people.
Adam tapped Hongyan's forehead. He seemed to know what Hongyan was thinking and said, "If everything is troublesome, what's the point of living in this world? With Lilith around, those people won't do anything to you. "
Qiao Qiao also nodded at the right time and persuaded, "People always have to socialize. Don't you want to be Adam's good wife? Building a good relationship with those people will also be helpful to Adam. "
These words convinced Hongyan.
She looked at Adam and pursed her lips. "Then I'll go this time."
Adam rubbed Hongyan's head and smiled. "Good girl."
…
Qiao Qiao chose a light yellow suit for Hongyan. She was young and full of vitality, so it fit her very well.
"This suit is very expensive, right?"
Hongyan also knew some brands. The clothes of this brand were at least six figures.
"It's okay. Anyway, it's using Adam's card.
Qiao Qiao was used to it.
At the mention of this, Hongyan walked forward and tugged at Qiao Qiao's clothes. "Well, Qiao Qiao, I found that Adam seems to be very rich. The last time I went to a very high-end nightclub, I found that Adam was the behind-the-scenes boss."
"Oh, he should be very rich."
Qiao Qiao picked out the clothes and said in a very calm tone, "After all, the leading industries in J Country are all controlled by Adam behind the scenes."
"That's amazing!"
Hongyan was shocked.
Seeing Hongyan's shock, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh. She moved closer to Hongyan's ear and whispered, "Actually, Ravel's national treasury is handed over to Adam to manage. The royal family's expenses are very high, so they will buy businesses outside. Those businesses are all handed over to Adam to manage."
After hearing this, Hongyan directly spat out a sentence.
"Is he still human?"
How many things did that man know?
"Pfft."
Qiao Qiao laughed and said in a very flirtatious tone, "Whether he's human or not, you sleep in the same bed as him every day. Don't you know?"
When the words "sleep in the same bed" came out, Hongyan's face instantly turned red.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
Qiao Qiao held Hongyan's hand and said, "It's almost time. Let's hurry over."
"Oh."
Tea party.
It was also a gathering for a group of noble ladies and madams to chat. The lifestyle was luxurious and full of poetic charm. Every action was filled with elegance and taste.
However, Hongyan was a common person. Compared to these romantic affairs, she preferred a life of fooling around and being unrestrained. To be honest, she wasn't interested in these kinds of occasions where every action had rules and would be watched by others.
When Hongyan told Qiao Qiao her inner feelings, she was already prepared to be lectured by Qiao Qiao. But who knew that she would actually express her agreement.
"To be honest, I don't like these kinds of occasions either. It feels very uncomfortable to be watched no matter what I do."
"Eh? You too? "
Seeing Hongyan's shocked expression, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh, "What? Are you very surprised? "
Hongyan nodded honestly and said, "You're a princess. Isn't this something you're used to?"
Hongyan's frankness made Qiao Qiao not know whether to laugh or cry, "Didn't I say? I've lived in a commoner's home for more than 20 years. My way of thinking is more inclined towards commoners. I'm not very interested in the elegance of these nobles. "
"Then why do you still want to attend?"
From Hongyan's point of view, these tea parties were to compete with each other and to get closer to each other. But with Qiao Qiao's status, she shouldn't need to care about these people's faces. But if it wasn't for a special reason, Qiao Qiao would attend all the banquets that she should attend.
Qiao Qiao looked at Hongyan and said meaningfully, "Ah Yan, humans are social animals. As long as you survive in this society, you have to socialize. This is the basic rule. Of course it's okay to be a maverick, but you have to bear the gaze of others. My status in J Country is at the top of the pyramid, but I still can't leave this circle. Because of the various interests intertwined, you have to learn to face and deal with them."
Hongyan found that the gap between her and Qiao Qiao was indeed too big.
The woman in front of her was not much older than her, but her thoughts were much more mature than her. The problems that she thought about were also much deeper than her.
Hongyan sighed in her heart. As expected of someone who was once a queen, her thoughts were indeed deep.
Since she was going to live with Adam, she naturally had to help him where she could. She also had to rein in her reckless temper.
"Greetings, Princess Lilith."
When they arrived at the small garden where the tea party was held, a luxuriously dressed woman walked up and gave Qiao Qiao a typical palace bow. Qiao Qiao's reaction was very natural. She didn't appear arrogant, but she made people feel that she was incomparably dignified.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is Miss Hongyan, my guest. At the same time, she is also Adam Walker Dreiser's most beloved woman."
Qiao Qiao took this opportunity to introduce Hongyan.
In this way, the relationship between Adam and Hongyan was confirmed.
Many socialites were shocked.
"That gentleman actually has a woman he loves deeply? This is unbelievable. "
"I always thought that he wouldn't marry for the rest of his life."
"What kind of background does this lady have to be able to move that gentleman's heart?"
Everyone was discussing animatedly. Some were envious, and some were jealous.
Hongyan sighed. Adam's popularity with women was actually so strong.
However, Hongyan wasn't jealous because of this. Instead, she was a little happy. Her man was actually so popular. This meant that her taste was good. Her man was outstanding enough. The man that was missed by so many women now belonged to her. Just thinking about it made her feel proud.
Women all have vanity, and beauties are no exception. She is a little complacent right now. You stupid humans can be envious and jealous as much as you want. Anyway, no matter how envious and jealous you are, Adam will only belong to her. Hahaha ~
"Hello."
Qiao Qiao was surrounded by a group of socialites. Hongyan was alone, but someone still noticed her.
Hongyan turned around and saw a very beautiful woman greeting her.
Hongyan also greeted her in a friendly manner, "Hello."
The woman's temperament was slightly cold, and her entire body exuded a hint of arrogance. She revealed a distant smile and said, "I heard from Her Highness Lilith that you are that gentleman's beloved. I'm really surprised. I didn't expect that gentleman to actually look for you."
Actually?
Hongyan raised her eyebrows. The word 'beauty' in front of her was rather subtle.
Was this beauty dissatisfied with her in some way?
A woman's intuition was sometimes frighteningly accurate. When Hongyan saw the woman's unfriendly smile, she knew that this person must also be in love with Adam. Now that she heard that Adam was in a relationship with her, she felt unhappy and came looking for trouble.
How could Hongyan shrink back when her rival in love saw each other?
