Young Master asked me to pick you up
When the ball ended, everyone left.
Qiao Qiao and Adam walked to the Duke, who was surrounded by people. She took off her mask and greeted the Duke elegantly.
The pot-bellied Duke was a very kind old man. He had blonde curly hair, typical amber eyes, and always had a silly smile on his face. He said, "Your Highness Lilith, did you enjoy the ball tonight?"
"Very much!"
Nowadays, Qiao Qiao's ability to lie through her teeth was getting better and better.
The Duke put his hands together and said with satisfaction, "Today's masquerade ball didn't lose its meaning. I look forward to seeing you at the next ball."
Qiao Qiao nodded. "It's my honor to be invited by you."
After some small talk, Qiao Qiao finally got to the point. "Your Highness, I wonder if tomorrow you …"
"Grandpa …"
A five or six-year-old little girl ran over and threw herself on the Duke.
"Oh, my little angel." The Duke held the little girl and said to Qiao Qiao, "Your Highness Lilith, let me introduce you. This is my little granddaughter, Euphie Kruyer. Little Euphie, quickly say hello to the princess."
"Hello, princess." The little girl opened her big eyes and greeted Qiao Qiao.
"Hello, little Euphie."
"Grandpa, you said you would take me to the water park tomorrow!" Little Euphie began to pester the Duke and chatter.
The Duke laughed and said, "Yes, yes, grandpa didn't forget. I will take you there tomorrow."
After that, he turned to Qiao Qiao and asked, "Your Highness, what did you just say?"
When Qiaoqiao saw this, she knew that she wouldn't have the chance to invite the duke for a meeting tomorrow. This seemingly kind old man was far more shrewd than she had imagined, and such a straightforward invitation wouldn't be enough to move him.
Qiao Qiao gave up and shook her head with a smile. "Nothing. I wish you good health."
Sitting in the car.
"No wonder that Duke Kruje was able to protect himself from so many royal conflicts. He does have his own way of doing things," Qiao Qiao murmured as she leaned against the window and looked at the night scenery outside the car.
Adam nodded. "As you can imagine, His Highness Ravel definitely didn't gain any benefits either. Our starting points are the same."
Qiao Qiao turned around and looked at Adam. "Since we have the same starting point, we have to be one step ahead of them. Perhaps we can start from the Duke's hobby."
It was much better to cater to his interests than to show off without a reason.
Hearing this, Adam smiled. "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. The Duke loves balls, so Princess, you have to work hard and not fall behind others."
"Eh."
At the mention of this, Qiao Qiao was slightly embarrassed.
She facepalmed and said, "Why does it have to be dancing? There are so many hobbies to choose from. Now when dancing is mentioned, my whole body feels uncomfortable. "
"Hehe, it's because it's so troublesome that it's more meaningful to challenge. As the Princess of J Country, how can you not overcome this point?" Adam leaned his right hand on his chest and smiled. "I will do my best to teach you the basic dance steps."
Thinking of the painful learning process two days ago, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Adam's sincere smile, she didn't want to reject him. She could only laugh dryly. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Adam."
"It's nothing. Everything is for Her Highness Lilith." Adam smiled like a fox.

The next day.
Adam walked into Qiao Qiao's office with a report.
Qiao Qiao was reading a comprehensive book. When she saw Adam walk in, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Adam, you're finally here. There are many parts of this book that I can't understand. Can you help me explain them?"
Adam took the book from Qiao Qiao's hands and glanced at it. He revealed a look of understanding. "Lilith is studying this book? It's still too early for you. Many old professors have studied it for more than ten years and still don't understand it. There are even people who have established a society to study this book. "
"I know, but I don't even know the surface. If I'm asked and don't know anything, it'll be too embarrassing." She had already given up on studying. It was fine as long as she knew a thing or two.
Adam smiled. "No problem. I have some understanding of this. If there's anything you don't understand, you can look for me."
As he spoke, he placed a small cake in front of Qiao Qiao and said, "Eat some cake. You'll be very tired if you continue to work so hard. This might be able to help you."
"Oh, is it a flower cake?" Qiao Qiao took the plate and looked at the small and exquisite cake. After taking a bite, she looked up and asked, "Which pastry chef made this? The texture is very good. The creamy taste is rich, sweet but not greasy. The baking of the cake is just right. "
"Ahem," Adam coughed and nodded. "It's my great honor to receive your praise."
Qiao Qiao glanced sideways and her eyes lit up. "You made this?"
"It's just a strength that's not worth mentioning." Adam smiled and handed a document to Qiao Qiao. "Mr. He acted very quickly. This morning, the news of Her Highness Lilith cooperating with his Clan to inject one billion yuan into the Red Cross Society has already spread like wildfire. The people's opinion of you has improved."
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
She took the document and read it carefully.
After a long time, she muttered.
"This person actually did it. What is he trying to do?"
Her thoughts returned to last night. The two of them danced on the dance floor and talked on the balcony.
That man, since he had already let go of my hand, why did he do it again?
Qiao Qiao tried to recall the past again.
The sky was filled with fireworks, and the sea was drowned by flowers.
"Crack!"
The memory was interrupted again. Qiao Qiao pressed her head in pain. The memory of the past was formatted again.
"Lilith, what's the matter?"
Adam's voice lingered in her ears, giving her an inexplicable sense of calmness.
As long as she didn't recall the past, she wouldn't have a headache.
She took a deep breath and shook her head. "It's nothing. Maybe I've been too tired recently. Don't worry."
Adam's dark red eyes were filled with Qiao Qiao's figure.
He looked deeply at Qiao Qiao. After a long time, he said, "If you're too tired, go and rest. I'll help you with the rest."
Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and nodded. "I'm sorry, Adam. I've increased your workload again."
"If you collapse from exhaustion, it'll increase my workload." Adam helped Qiao Qiao tidy up the scattered documents on the table and put them neatly for her. "Eat the cake. There's still a lot to do in the afternoon. You'd better rest for another ten minutes. Otherwise, the afternoon's work will drag you down."
Qiao Qiao rubbed between her eyebrows and nodded. "Okay."
In the afternoon, she had to attend the meeting with the emperor's higher-ups. After that, she had to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Empire's Chamber of Commerce. At five or six o 'clock, she had to meet with the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce. A banquet was indispensable.
When all these things were done, it was already ten o 'clock in the evening.
"You've worked hard today, Lilith. You've done well."
Adam smiled at Qiao Qiao, who was so tired that she started to doze off in the car.
"Okay."
She answered in a daze.
The two returned to the imperial palace.
At the entrance, there was a luxurious black car with a luxurious body.
