"Are you really going back to Hong Kong?"
"Yes! And thank you for the invitation, Miss Michelle. The dinner tonight will be sumptuous."
London, Canary Street, Du Yongxiao and Michelle walking side by side.
Behind them were three cars. After the last accident, Howard began to equip his daughter with bodyguards to protect her safety at all times.
Michelle learned that Du Yongxiao had completed his training at Scotland Yard and was about to leave London and return to Hong Kong, so she took the initiative to invite Du Yongxiao to have a famous "snail dinner" at a large restaurant in England.
Giant snails have always been a delicacy in London.
This kind of large snail usually grows in the moist stone crevices of pastures. It is big and full of meat. It is picked up and sold to restaurants.
The restaurant chef first washes them with salt water, then steams them in hot water, adds seasonings, picks out the snail meat and marinates it, then puts the meat into the snail shell.
When serving meals, guests are provided with a special snail meal stand and a pick fork for guests' convenience.
Because the number of snails is limited, reservations are often required. Du Yongxiao has been in London for so long, but this is the first time he has eaten large snails.
A pair of handsome men and beautiful women walking side by side on the street always attracts people's attention.
Michelle, in particular, was dressed very delicately tonight. Her golden hair was spread over her shoulders, with a pink bow tied at the back. She was wearing a very fashionable dress and carrying a Chanel bag. She looked like a princess from a fairy tale.
"I should have invited you to dinner with us, but you also know... I don't like the complicated etiquette at home."
"Of course, it's more comfortable to eat out, and I don't really like those too old-fashioned dinners." Du Yongxiao said with a smile.
Michelle chuckled.
"Why are you laughing?" Du Yongxiao asked.
"Don't think that I'm chasing you. I just think that you saved me and now you're going back to Hong Kong, so I simply treat you to a casual meal. There's no other meaning." Michelle explained, "So I don't want you to misunderstand , you are not the one I like."
"Really? It doesn't matter! Because I didn't plan to chase you from the beginning! Although you are very beautiful and noble, but..." Du Yongxiao shrugged, "You are not my type!"
"What?" Michelle took a few steps and stopped in front of Du Yongxiao, "What do you mean?"
"That's what it means on the surface."
"I'm not your type, am I not good enough for you?"
"It's not that, it's just that one of you and I are in the UK and the other is in Hong Kong. I hate long-distance relationships! Also, my mother doesn't like ghost girls very much. Even if you are a princess, she won't be satisfied! Finally, I found out I have nothing in common with you. My woman must understand me, love me, and get along with me. You, as for you, are too selfish and noble, and I can’t support you!"
Du Yongxiao's words made Michelle stunned.
She has always been an unattainable beauty of heaven, and she never puts any man in her eyes.
Even though Du Yongxiao saved her, she was only slightly grateful. In addition, her father Howard had already expressed his gratitude to Du Yongxiao, so Michelle did not take Du Yongxiao into her heart.
But tonight, she looked at Du Yongxiao with wide eyes as if she was meeting Du Yongxiao for the first time.
After a while, he said: "Are you discriminating against women?"
"No, to be precise, I respect women very much, especially working women like my mother."
"Then what you just said-"
"I'm just telling the facts." Du Yongxiao continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.
"I'm just telling the facts." Du Yongxiao continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.
Not far away is London Bridge.
Michelle took a few steps to catch up, "But why do I sound so awkward?"
"That's because few people dare to tell the truth in front of you." Du Yongxiao looked at the river and turned to glance at Michelle, "You grew up in a honey jar, and few people dared to disobey your will, even though you pretended to be Zuo is very simple and knowledgeable, but I can feel the arrogance in his bones right away!"
Michelle couldn't help but look at Du Yongxiao again: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"What's intentional?"
"Did you say this on purpose to make you look different and arouse my interest in you?"
Du Yongxiao laughed dumbly: "I might as well go home and sleep if I have that time."
As he said that, Du Yongxiao turned around and stared at Michelle with his starry eyes: "To be honest, I don't want to call you! I don't want to pursue you shamelessly like what is written in the article. In order to pursue you, I devised many tricks - no, I am very lazy, especially when it comes to women, I always let nature take its course! I don’t know how to serve women, nor do I know how to kneel down and lick women. I only know that men and women are equal, and the love that comes from licking a dog is not sweet. , will never grow!”
Michelle was dumbfounded.
The men who have been around her all this time either talk to her about Shakespeare or the Renaissance, or they pretend to be noble or elegant. How can any of them be as vulgar and straightforward as Du Yongxiao——
But the "dog licking" described by Du Yongxiao is so interesting! Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are many such licking dogs around me, and they want to lick their own toes.
"Since the goal you are pursuing is not a woman, then what is it?" Michelle looked at Du Yongxiao and asked curiously.
"What goal am I pursuing?" Du Yongxiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the rolling London River. "I don't know what other people are pursuing, money, power, women - my goal is actually very simple, which is to live a spontaneous life!"
"Live spontaneously?"
"Yes, no one can restrain me, no one can control me! Just like the London River, it rolls forward and never stops!"
Michelle was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but think.
Living a spontaneous life seems simple, but how many people in the world can actually do it?
As one of the four richest men in London, his father seemed to be aloof, but sometimes he was influenced by the powerful.
Where is Her Majesty the Queen? He seems to be superior, but he can't even control his own marriage.
In this world, can there really be people who live spontaneously and are not influenced by power or money?
Thinking of this, Michelle looked at Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao smiled at her: "What are you looking at? Everyone says I'm very handsome, so - you must not fall in love with me!"
After saying that, Du Yongxiao turned around and walked towards the bridge, holding his hands behind his back and humming a tune.
The song is very beautiful. Listen carefully, but it is a Cantonese song:
"Can you please stop lingering in your eyes like this?
You will notice that I am completely lonely
Even if I have been in my dream for thousands of late nights
After all, it doesn’t exist that I kissed you..."
Du Yongxiao hummed a song, and the night wind blew his windbreaker, making him look particularly elegant.
He pricked up his ears and waited—
really--
There was a noise behind me.
Michelle caught up behind her, her eyebrows like crescent moons: "What song are you singing?"
Du Yongxiao turned his head and smiled at her, saying in English: ""Secretly Obsessed"!"
