'Is this the beginning? Have you started preparing to conquer the plot characters one by one? '
'It seems that even a time-traveling girl from the Celestial Dynasty can't escape the temptation of a handsome man...'
Wayne tried his best to maintain a calm image on the surface, but he was deeply shaken inside.
'The problem is... I'm just a nine-year-old boy, a beast! '
He thought about it seriously, then narrowed his cute smiling eyes and looked at Chris sincerely.
In an inconspicuous corner of the grand banquet, the little boy's voice was childish and gentle: "Actually, I also like my gentle and reliable sister."
like……
Gentle and reliable...
elder sister……
Chrissy's little face turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a faint green tint.
'What is this kid... talking about? '
The brain cannot understand.
Is this a direct confession from a nine-year-old boy? Or is it just an innocent remark?
Chrissy's belief was shaken. Can she... really escape the fate of the heroine of the Otome series?
She felt like facing a powerful enemy.
'The man in front of me is indeed the young man destined to be a playboy in the original plot, so terrifying! '
Wayne smiled, raised the glass filled with juice drink in his hand to greet her, and then turned and left.
Hum, you are a little too immature, little girl, to compete with my New Age Emotional Master.
At the banquet, Ashwell formally introduced Wayne to the circle of ladies who had made friends with her.
"Oh my, this young master looks so cute."
"You look very smart at first glance."
"Short oil~ It would be great if my boy could have such magnanimity..."
No matter what they were thinking in their hearts, these ladies all showed bright smiles on the surface and were very kind to Wayne.
Wayne could only fakely smile while using the etiquette he had just learned to extend his sincere greetings to the ladies.
"Will this young master also attend the elementary school of Qingxi Academy?" asked a lady wearing a black hat.
"Yes, the principal has issued the admission notice. This child will enter the fifth grade." Ashwell glanced at Chris who was not far away, "She is in the same grade as Chris."
I just temporarily proposed skipping a grade this morning. Has it been finalized by evening? This power of action is really amazing. Did you really ask the principal for his opinion? Or is it just a matter of notifying the other party?
I always feel worried about my position as a privileged class... Maybe it's because I was used to being an ordinary passerby in my previous life.
"That's really great! Miss Chris must also be very happy to be accompanied by Mr. Wayne."
"Yes." Ashwell showed just the right amount of distress, "Chris likes this little brother very much and has been pestering him to play with him recently."
"Hehehe, Miss Chrissy is so innocent..."
There was absolutely no nourishment in complimenting each other. Just standing aside and listening for a moment gave me a headache.
Wayne couldn't help but curse, how on earth did Chris enjoy such boring topics?
Think of these ladies as talking potatoes?
Or give them nicknames to distract them?
Wayne cast envious glances at Kris from time to time. Perhaps she was aware of the hot eyes, and Kris finally realized that Wayne was in dire straits.
But soon she turned her head to the other side faster.
Oh no, she wouldn't be so kind as to help him out!
Since you are a reserve playboy, let's practice how to please the opposite sex now. It is very rude to be bored with beautiful ladies.
Chrissy guaranteed with her own personality that this was definitely not because she wanted to retaliate against the little boy for his rude words.
So, under Wayne's increasingly desperate eyes, Chris's back disappeared among the many guests attending the banquet.
The adults danced and feasted in the party hall filled with guests, and the children played and chased each other in the brightly lit garden.
The grand party lasted until late at night. Under the protection of the attendants, the guests who had enjoyed themselves left in carriages.
Chris looked very satisfied and did not show any signs of fatigue, while Wayne was already drowsy.
"That's it for today. You all should go back to your room and have a good rest." Back home, the hostess of the Duke's Palace said.
"Yes, Mother." Wayne and Chris replied respectfully together.
However, when Mrs. Ashwell turned and left the living room, the two united and friendly people immediately became energetic and civil war broke out.
"Sister Chris, I hope you will at least remember to take me with you before running away during the next banquet." Wayne said slightly dissatisfied.
Because there was no acquaintance except Chris at the banquet, Wayne had to stay with Ashwell all night, suffering from boring topics among the ladies of the royal capital.
Not "Huh? This jewelry is so beautiful."
Just "Hey, have you heard, recently..."
As a result, when the show was about to end, Wayne discovered that Chris had been playing in the garden with her friends and had not suffered such "detention" treatment as himself.
It's too much!
"Ah? So Wayne, don't you like occasions like that?" Chris covered her lips and pretended to be surprised, unable to hide her smile.
...from which angle can I see that I will like it!
Chris showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice your mood..."
Her tone was very sincere, making people unconsciously believe her every word, as if she really just didn't think that much into consideration, and the person who was at fault was actually Wayne who clung to such a small issue.
If it weren't for the mischievous smile she gave her before leaving, Wayne might have easily forgiven her.
Full marks! As a performer, there is no doubt that it is a perfect score!
Wayne sighed: "There's really nothing I can do about you."
This is the privilege of being a heroine. Even if she pricks herself like a little devil, the only emotion that emerges in her heart is "she is really cute."
The halo of the protagonist is so good, I want it too.
"For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistakes, let's forget it this time and won't do it next time." Wayne yawned, "It's late at night, so go back and rest early."
It's really uncomfortable to be constrained by a stiff dress all day long.
Wayne was tired and sleepy. On the way back, he felt like he could hardly open his eyes. But now he was a little more awake due to the night breeze.
After saying goodbye to Chris, he walked to his room.
As soon as she climbed the stairs, she saw Karen, wearing black and white lace, standing quietly by the corridor with her hands lowered, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"Karen?"
Wayne said unexpectedly:
"It's so late, why don't you go rest?"
