The ink stains written by Ge Li continued to spread. She listened to his words without saying a word. It was like turning a deaf ear to his inner voice.
However, Wayne didn't want an answer from her. He just wanted to tell her his truest feelings at the moment again.
Everything was silent. A desk lamp spreads dim light around, and a few wisps of breeze push the gentle night into the room.
Although the first one was unwilling to reply to him, Song Li did not break away from his arms. In this way, with a somewhat awkward posture, he watched Song Li handle the official affairs of the Edgeworth family.
After a while. His attention was attracted by the paper in her hand.
"Are the Edgeworth family very close to Lord Bulwer?" Wayne suddenly asked. From the stack of documents, he saw a private letter led by Bulwer, who wanted to rent a piece of land on the outskirts of the royal capital from the Edgeworth family to use as a special training ground for the city guard.
When he was surprised that such a major matter was also handed over to Song Li, a trace of doubt inevitably arose in Wayne's heart.
Others don't know it, but I know Bulwer's true identity clearly. Last time, the Edgeworth family was severely tricked by Norman Laird through Cirque du Soleil. Even now, conspiracy theories are being used from time to time, saying that the Chancellor of the Finance Franz is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
Could it be that this time he wanted to wear the Edgeworth family's tiger skin again and do some shameful things... Wayne was a little unhappy.
Gee, why is this person so careless in what he does? How can you catch the same sheep and smother it! What's more, it's still a sheep that accidentally fell into its own wolf's den.
Hearing his question, Geli's eyes also fell on the letter.
"We were not close before." She said thoughtfully.
"However, since Bulwer was appointed commander-in-chief of the city guard by the king, he and my father are both ministers that His Majesty relies on very much, and the relationship has become much closer."
"How close is it?" he asked. Ge Li was about to say it out, but then closed it cautiously.
"Why are you asking this?" She turned back to look at Wayne and speculated: "Is it because the Wench family is also interested in this commander?" Looking at her particularly charming eyes under the light, Wayne said helplessly: "As far as I know, there shouldn't be."
"Oh, really." Ge Li said coldly.
"Really not." He emphasized again. Looking at his extremely sincere expression, even though she still had some doubts about his purpose, in the end, Geli still opened her mouth and told him the information she wanted to know.
"Commander Bulwer, you have given many heavy gifts to my father in private recently," Song Li said.
“It even included a rare whale fin craft obtained from the endless sea, which even my father was surprised by.
"So my father thought that although he came from a poor background, he was very capable and knew etiquette, and he could be considered a talent..." ...from a very poor background.
Wayne's expression was a little complicated. In the eyes of Minister Franz, the middle and lower nobles were of poor origin.
But this is already what many ordinary people as civilians only dream of getting.
"High-class" status. How would the Chancellor of the Exchequer feel if he knew that Lord Bulwer was originally a poor man who even looked at him as dirty?
I have to say, it's a bit ironic. Hearing Song Li praise other people, even though he understood that he was just repeating Franz's words, Wayne felt sad in his heart.
As soon as he became sour, he couldn't help but want to do something to dilute the unpleasantness. As a result, his hands began to become dishonest.
The softness was grasped by his hand, and Ge Li's body trembled. Seeing that she was speechless for a moment, Wayne asked softly: "To the Edgeworth family, who is closer to me or him?" Song Li wanted to pretend not to care, but it was difficult She soon couldn't bear his increasingly wanton actions.
"You...you asked knowingly..." She tried her best to lower her voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing other people in the mansion.
"Those things you did...if word gets out, let alone being close, I'm afraid the Edgeworth family will immediately issue a huge reward to buy your big pig head!" Looking at her guilty and shy cuteness Wayne laughed.
"Miss Songli, my pig head is not cheap~" He walked around the table, stretched out his right hand, and touched her smooth cheek with his fingertips.
"If you want to buy it, you have to exchange it for the most precious pearl of the Edgeworth family." He said with deep meaning.
Being teased by his suggestive words, Song Li glared at him with watery eyes. It has no lethality, but makes him even more eager to act.
Wayne leaned forward, just about to catch her doing something random. Sudden--
"Dong, dong dong." There was a knock on the door behind him.
"Ge Li, haven't you slept yet?" A very gentle female voice sounded from outside the door. ! ! ! Wayne: Surprise!
He was almost controlled by body instinct and rolled under the table in an instant. Seeing his panic, Geli was angry, anxious and wanted to laugh. She took his arm and pulled him out. She shook her head at him and then pointed to the bottom of the bed.
After receiving the prompt, Wayne ran over knowingly, lifted up the corner of the sheet that touched the carpet, and got in smoothly.
Because he moved too quickly, he accidentally knocked a small box under the bed.
"Hiss—" Wayne covered his head in pain. 'giao, why don't you put it aside? ’ He moved a little to the side full of resentment.
The sheets fell and his vision went dark. It all happened in the blink of an eye. As soon as he lay down, he heard Song Li's response.
"I haven't slept yet." It was dark under the bed, with only a faint light coming from the sheets facing Ge Li.
Fortunately, the hygiene under the bed was pretty good and there was no dust to the touch. Wayne's tense body relaxed slightly.
Being in such a private environment gave him an unspeakable sense of security. He pricked up his ears and put his head on the ground, alertly detecting this sudden and huge danger.
There was a soft "click" and the door was pushed open. Without a layer of separation, the gentle female voice became clearer.
"Did you knock somewhere just now?" the man asked,
"I seem to have heard some noise." Then, Geli replied in a hesitant voice.
"Uh... I accidentally knocked on the table when I stood up just now." Two footsteps approached the bed little by little.
Wayne felt relieved again. He immediately thought of the messed up bed and the thin blanket thrown on the floor... No!
These are not the most critical issues. The biggest flaw is the cloak and shoes he took off!
