Gu Hanhan was stunned for a few seconds, then bent down to pick up the skirt on the ground, and put it on numbly, while muttering in his mouth: "Don't let the healer leave the sister half disabled, this is not the same as one day Su The rich man abandoned his sister, and Anthony fell in love with her. Mary-Gu Hanhan-Su, you are daydreaming again - you actually didn't hear anything - "
"Well, sister didn't hear anything - thank you, eldest sister, you are much kinder than those two guys yesterday. Yesterday, I was forced to go on the road before I even had time to get my lunch box. Now I am so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. Back - yes, I didn't hear anything." Gu Hanhan highly praised the maid sister who stepped forward to help her zip up her skirt at this time, and then walked out.
David looked at Gu Hanhan amusedly, and waited for Gu Hanhan to come to the door before revealing her: "You heard, Hanhan, I want to terminate my engagement with Helena."
Gu Hanhan was immediately petrified, and all the muscles in his body were tense and stiff. Only his mouth was left and he could still function supernormally. Like a misfired photon gun, he automatically fired in all directions: "Divorce the healer? Although you This kind of spirit of loving even to death is indeed commendable, but can we not be kidding, Mr. David Duran? As a critically ill patient who always relies on others to save his life, you don’t know that the person you can’t afford to offend the most is Doctor?"
"If this is true, then I think this is not a mental problem, but an IQ problem. Well, either you have a problem with your IQ or I have a problem with my IQ. After I arrived at the Lighthouse Planet, I found that although neurosis is everywhere, people with low IQs are None. So don't make fun of me, David. I really can't believe it. You said that we signed a temporary employment agreement. In the spirit of the agreement, we will be a couple. How great! You get married, I go to my bed, and we both treat illnesses and make love. Why do we have to cut ourselves off from the people and go fall in love! Divorce and fall in love are even more unacceptable! "
David's bellyful smile was aroused by Gu Hanhan's words, "Why are you cutting yourself off from the people and running to fall in love?" He pursed his lips and tilted his head slightly before he managed to stop laughing. He looked really nervous when he saw Gu Hanhan, so he simply let her go, skipping the engagement and love affairs and not mentioning them anymore, and started talking about gossip instead.
"It's still early, don't be in such a hurry to leave." David used the same sentence he had just used, but in a lighter tone. He glanced at the watch the servant brought over and said to Gu Hanhan: "It's just five o'clock, less than 24 hours since you came here."
"It's already late, it's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and I have to attend the scholarship banquet in the evening. My boyfriend at the banquet is also missing. I have to find him when I get back! So what, let's see you next week, David! "
Gu Hanhan picked up the obstructing skirt with one hand and grabbed the door handle with the other, preparing to leave immediately.
"It won't delay you from going to the banquet." David was amused in his heart, but on the surface he had to make a serious gesture to persuade him to stay. "It's totally time for some afternoon tea. Haven't you not eaten all day and are so hungry that your chest is touching your back? You have to make up for the mistake of my unkind subordinates who forced you to set out on the road with an empty stomach without even finishing your lunch. Besides, you are still barefoot."
The male and female servants in the room gathered around and put down a pair of crystal high-heeled slippers specially designed for bedroom wear.
Gu Hanhan clutched the door handle and refused to let go. She felt like she was about to cry. She really didn't want to accuse the five good young men of their unlucky subordinates.
David came over, stretched out his arm to catch Gu Hanhan, and said to her calmly: "The agreement stipulates that David Duran will be responsible for your twenty-four hours, which should include keeping you full. As for it being too late to find someone to act as a male companion to accompany you to the banquet, that’s not a problem at all. I can be your male companion and accompany you to the banquet. I think that even if you go back and look for it now, you won’t find anyone better than me. Excellent banquet companion. The most important thing is, you see, we already have a... yes, a temporary employment agreement, which can be put to good use - ah, it should be said, this is exactly what the temporary employment agreement contains One - a temporary backlash lover, a temporary best friend at a banquet..."
"You mean agreement?" Gu Hanhan caught the key word "temporary worker agreement", his eyes lit up, and a carp jumped out of David's arm. She suddenly became energetic, raised her head and asked eagerly, "Are you negotiating an agreement with me now, David? You don't ask for love anymore, let's just negotiate an agreement?"
"If you want to just talk about the agreement, then let's just talk about the agreement now." David smiled slightly, "In fact, I also think it's not the time to talk about love here, it's more like a joke. Tell you that, I'm too I was rash, did I scare you? Forgive me for being unable to help myself and losing my mind as soon as I saw you..."
Gu Hanhan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that all his souls and souls had returned to their places and he was alive again.
"Thank God, you finally found your way back to the right path." Gu Hanhan stood up on his toes, patted David on the shoulder, then patted his own chest, and said with lingering fear, "Scared me to death! Don’t make jokes like this again, David!”
David smiled brightly, and his gentle eyes showed determination and seriousness. He nodded, and his tone was categorical: "I will never joke again."
At this point, Gu Hanhan's heart finally fell completely into her stomach, and then caused a series of boiling emotions in her empty stomach.
"Can we eat?" she asked. "I'm starving."
The dining room was in the room at the corner of the stairs. When the servant opened the door, he saw a small dining table and seven or eight long-back chairs in the center of the room. The table was ready, and although David was talking about having some afternoon tea, the actual setting was obviously for a formal dinner. After they were seated, exquisite dishes were served on silver trays.
Although the dining table is not grand, the dining is obviously aristocratic with superpowers. It is almost the same as what Gu Hanhan is used to seeing at Su Dachuan's place. There are more than a dozen servants waiting at the dining table alone. In addition to the servants, there are also Several maids stood along the surrounding walls, and two teams of male servants took turns coming in and out, changing the dishes at any time. There were dozens of people in total, making the originally spacious restaurant feel cramped.
Gu Hanhan relived his old dream and couldn't help but curl up his lips when he recalled that Su Daqian was so showy when he moved into his home. He took the spoon from the servant and ate happily. On the contrary, David frowned slightly.
David's valet figured out his master's thoughts, and secretly made a signal to all the servants in the room to retreat, leaving only two male servants and two maids to take care of the table. It’s enough to fill the dining table.
David laughed at himself: "It's really shameful. It seems that living in a house in the Torini district has not changed the Acropolis habit."
Unlike the Torini District, a civilian state with a large foreign population, the Acropolis is close to the sacred mountain Olympia, where super-powerful nobles and wealthy families gather.
The so-called Acropolis vice refers to the extravagant and lustful lifestyle of super-powerful wealthy people and their servant status in order to compare themselves with others for fear of falling behind.
Gu Hanhan was used to this kind of bad habit. She put down the spoon and said something sincerely: "Don't say that, David, among the people with super powers I have seen, you are the least likely to show off. If it were applied to some people, it might not be the case. What a mess, how can we have sixty servants for a meal? At least one hundred and two!"
David had no way of knowing that the "certain people" Gu Hanhan was referring to were the "cosmic wanderer" and "ex-boyfriend" named Anthony, so he was so elated by the praise that he personally scooped a bowl of soup for Gu Hanhan. . Gu Hanhan smiled and accepted it out of habit, but David's valet was so shocked that he almost dropped his bowl.
"Do you really want to accompany me to the banquet?" Gu Hanhan asked.
"Why not? Do you have a new temporary worker this time?"
"Isn't it too high-profile? You go out with so many followers and don't say anything. It seems like everyone in the lighthouse knows you - I will still go to a mixed school in the future!"
David smiled slightly: "Three-quarters of the super-powered families in Lighthouse Star will go to this party. If you don't take me there, I will go myself."
"Three-quarters of the superpower families will go?" Gu Hanhan became even more worried, "Will we run into Helena?"
Men who sleep with other people are short of breath, and I am not a peacock princess now!
David's eyes darkened: "She never goes to this party."
"You really don't want to go?"
"No." David replied firmly.
Gu Hanhan hesitated for a long time, thinking that he really couldn't find anyone to accompany him to the banquet, so he nodded, "Okay, then you send someone to my dormitory to help me get the dress and jewelry for the banquet. "
David knew that the clothes and jewelry Gu Hanhan mentioned were sent to her by the servant of the ranger a few days ago. In his heart, he hated the way they were disconnected and refused to completely separate after breaking up - the ranger was like this. They are hateful creatures who play with the world and have no sense of moral responsibility. Disrupting the pure and beautiful hearts of girls at will, breaking their bones and sucking their marrow until they take away their last trace of love, leaving them with a lifetime of misfortune.
However, he could only remain calm on the surface.
"Maybe not," David looked at his valet, "They should have prepared clothes, right?"
"You can't put it on, Helena's figure is far different from mine! She is taller than me, and I am thinner than her."
David was startled, and then immediately thought of a good excuse: "It's my mother's dressing room."
"New clothes will be prepared every month. Miss Gu, please go try it out first. Some of them should work." David's valet interrupted at the right time and said, "If it doesn't work, it's not too late to go get it."
"Really? Then I'll go take a look."
Gu Hanhan pushed the plate and stood up. The valet who was extremely smart and winking went over to lead him to the dressing room upstairs.
While Gu Hanhan was choosing a dress, David Duran also finished his meal and returned to his own private living room upstairs. The servants helped him put on a night suit and knelt on the ground to tie his girdle. Hebrews, the chief attendant, walked into the room and announced that all preparations for the banquet had been made.
David nodded slightly and said, "You should stay in the manor this year. You don't have to go with me. If something happens..."
It happened that the servant brought cufflinks at this time, and David abandoned the half-finished order and turned to look at the carefully selected cufflinks in the tray, so the servant who was waiting for the dressing did not dare to make his own decision.
"What color dress will Miss Gu choose?" he asked.
The valet who accompanied Gu Hanhan to try on clothes had already returned. At this time, he quickly replied: "Miss Gu chose a yellow dress and was very satisfied after trying it on. After a while, the maid will help her put it on after she takes a bath." superior."
"Then let's take this one, it suits her better." David ordered a pair of yellow diamond cufflinks.
The dressing servant immediately took it off and quickly put it on for David. David glanced at the valet and asked casually: "Is your name Charles?"
"Yes, Master." The male servant Charles knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly because of the excitement. He knew that because of his master's compliment, he would soon be able to sit on the throne of the family butler.
Hebrews, the chief attendant, raised his head in shock and saw David's face shining with joy from the bottom of his heart. In an instant, the decision that had troubled Hebrews for several days finally came to fruition.
"Master..." Hebrew knelt down.
"Huh?" David turned his head, "What's the matter, Mr. My Lord Chamberlain - get up, don't always kneel."
Hebrews knelt still, lowered his head, and said in a bitter voice: "Tonight's banquet, I beg the master not to go there in person..."
The smile on David's face stopped, and the room suddenly fell into a dead silence, which captured people's hearts like the silence before a sudden rain and strong wind. He pushed aside the servant and walked forward until he reached the floor-to-ceiling window before stopping. Some stagnant emotions in the air slowly dispersed, and David Duran seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory.
"Hebrew," David stared at the beautiful patterns on the velvet curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows. After a long time, he spoke slowly, "I will always remember that when I was nine years old, when I was brought here, I was surrounded by enemies and had no friends. It’s you who stand with me.”
He turned his head, and there was a slight fluctuation in his voice after restraint: "In any case, I don't have to change to another captain, I am very happy."
