Chapter 136 Abnormal Study
"Oops—" Steele suddenly let out a soft cry, and frowned slightly.
Liz, who was helping Steele get ready for bed, immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong? Ma'am? Is there something wrong?"
Steele smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that this little guy kicked me again."
Lisi pursed her lips and smiled: "It seems that the young master is much more mischievous than the master, and he likes to make trouble in his stomach when he has nothing to do."
Steele shook his head lightly: "It's not necessarily a boy. In fact, relatively speaking, I prefer daughters."
"But daughters can't inherit the family business. The master not only has a title, but also has such a large family business as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Don't you want to give birth to a son to inherit it?" Lisi said.
Steele frowned and glanced at Liz, intending to refute her words, but knew that Liz was right.
Although there are many women inheriting the family business on the Sainz continent, and there are even queens, but traditionally speaking, the call for boys to inherit the family business is relatively high.
Otherwise, His Royal Highness Prince Eric would not have a much higher support rate than Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny among those nobles who value tradition in the Kingdom of Lampari.
"It's okay, Xu Yi has always said that he also prefers girls, even if he is born with a daughter, he will definitely be very happy." Steele rubbed his belly and comforted himself.
Perhaps because of feeling the mother's touch, the child in the belly became fussy again, causing Steele to frown deeply.
"This little guy... There are still more than two months left, so he can't wait to come out?" Steele couldn't help laughing, thinking about it. Simply stand up. "Forget it. Liz. Let's go for a couple of laps to calm him down."
"Okay, let the young master go for a walk." Liz smiled and helped Steele up, and walked out the door.
After Xu Yi left, Nuoda's Luoxing Manor seemed a lot more deserted than usual because of the absence of the male owner, and after Linda was sent away by Steele, Luoxing Manor was even more deserted. Now that it was late at night, even if Vivienne and Teresa were included in the entire manor, there were only four people, so it naturally seemed extremely quiet.
However, Steele originally liked this peaceful environment, and she didn't like the existence of outsiders, so she always disagreed with the idea of hiring some other servants.
Glancing at Liz next to him, Steele thought that although Liz was a female slave Xu Yi brought back from the Principality of Standing, Xu Yi never saw her and Linda as slaves, they were both like Vivi Ann is like family.
Now that everyone has been together for a long time, Steele is used to their presence. Treat them like family too.
Thinking of Linda, Steele suddenly asked Lise: "Lise, I sent Linda over this time, but left you here, do you hate me in your heart?"
Liz originally had a smile on her face, but when she heard Steele's question, she was startled, and changed to a face full of shock, shaking her head again and again: "Madam, how could I hate you? You must not Misunderstanding, I absolutely did not! Really!"
Seeing Liz's eager look, Steele smiled and patted her holding her hand, comforting him: "Don't be nervous, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask you if you are not satisfied Didn't go to serve Xu Yi with Linda this time? To be honest."
Seeing Steele's serious expression, Liz hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Well... I envy Linda very much. She can always serve the master personally and be by the master's side... Ah, no, madam, I'm not right I have opinions on serving you, and I also like to be by your side..."
"It's okay, you like to serve Xu Yi, that's what you should, after all, he is your master." Steele laughed.
"Well...Actually, I envy Linda, mainly...mainly because...the master is out these days alone, and Linda can be with him at night..." Lisi's pretty face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head said softly.
Steele smiled slightly: "You don't have to be so envious. I don't know if Xu Yi can understand Linda's heart and accept her."
Hearing this, Lise couldn't help but raised her head, and said to Steele with a wry smile: "Madam...to be honest, don't be angry."
"Tell me, why should I be angry?"
Liz paused and said, "Actually, I am often surprised. The master is really slow in this regard. How did you...be with him at that time? Of course, I have seen you The most beautiful among women, but I think the master doesn't seem to care much about these things."
"You're right." Steele nodded. "Xu Yi is really stupid in this respect. I was able to be with him probably because the two of us had a lot of contact at the beginning, so we knew him one step ahead of others. If it is fair now In terms of competition, maybe Evita has a better chance."
"Dean Evita?" Liz frowned and thought about it. "Ma'am, since you are worried about Dean Evita, why don't you let the master have less contact with her?"
"This kind of thing, the more you deliberately restrict it, the more likely it will be counterproductive. And what Xu Yi and Evita are discussing together is normal work, how can I restrict it?" Steele shook his head. "Xu Yi absolutely doesn't like my stingy behavior. I think the reason why I was liked by him at the beginning is the most important thing. So I always remind myself not to become annoying to him."
Lisi sighed: "Madam, it seems that you really love your master so much that you care so much about his opinion."
"Say it as if you don't care." Steele pinched Liz's face, feeling the smoothness of his fingers, thinking that Liz and Linda were actually two or three years younger than her, and couldn't help but sigh. : "Although I think I look good, people will grow old after all. Xu Yi said that what he cares most about is a person's personality, not appearance. So I hope to continue to impress him with these. As for As for the appearance, I will leave it to you and a little girl like Linda to satisfy him."
Lisi's pretty face flushed again, but she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows: "But the master has never paid much attention to our appearance,... and body."
Steele smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how stupid he is, he is still a normal man after all, isn't he? The child in my belly is the obvious proof, isn't it? Linda has been with him all the way. I think He will not be able to bear it after all. When he comes back with Linda, I will find a chance for him to be alone with you. As for whether you can seize the opportunity at that time, it depends on yourself. "
Liz suddenly had surprise on her face: "Really? Thank you so much, Madam!"
Seeing Liz's joyful face, Steele shook his head slightly.
Although Steele was extremely generous on the surface, as a woman, how could she not care about her husband being with other women at all?
It's just that Steele is more aware that in terms of Xu Yi's current status, the temptations he faces are endless. No matter how strong his self-control is, no matter how determined his will is, there will always be a day when he can't stick to it.
Instead of this, it is better to let go of these thoughts.
At least, if Liz, Linda and Xu Yi are together, Steele will not find it difficult to accept.
The two chatted about what happened with Xu Yi and Linda at the moment, while wandering around the manor.
After walking for about ten minutes, he had already turned more than half of Luoxing Manor and arrived near Xu Yi's study.
Seeing the door of the study in front, Steele remembered that no matter how busy Xu Yi was at work. They would go back to Luoxing Manor at night and work in this study for a period of time. I couldn't help feeling emotional in my heart, thought for a while, and signaled Lisi to open the door of the study, and walked in.
The magic lamp illuminated the study, Steele looked around and sat down behind the desk in the middle of the study.
Thinking of Xu Yi usually sitting on this chair at night and concentrating on his work, Steele suddenly couldn't help feeling a strong yearning for Xu Yi, and couldn't help lying on the desk, trying to feel Xu Yi from the desktop. The warmth of being at home.
However, as soon as he climbed onto the table, Steele frowned, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Ma'am, what's the matter?" Seeing the strange expression on Steele's face, Liz asked quickly.
Steele waved his hand, but took his arm away, and put his face directly on the desk, and even moved back and forth for a certain distance.
Seeing Steele's actions, Liz looked puzzled.
However, she knew very well that her lady would never do such a boring thing, so there must be a reason for it.
Steele put his face on the desk, seemingly lost in thought, thinking about something.
After a while, Steele raised his head, took a closer look at the desk, looked through the documents and books placed on the desk, bent down with difficulty, observed the environment under the desk, and opened the The desk drawers were carefully checked.
Liz was a little strange, Steele's series of actions was like a thief had entered the study.
However, although this Luoxing Manor seems to have no guards and lax defenses, the owner of the manor, Xu Yi, and the hostess, Steele, are both extremely high-level magicians, and Steele's grandfather is even more powerful. Great magician, so there are actually many complicated magic array traps arranged around Luoxing Manor, and it is absolutely impossible for any thief to break in easily.
After checking the environment around the desk, Steele went to the bookcase next to the wall on the other side of the study. His eyes swept over and landed on a grid in the middle of the bookcase.
Steele didn't open the window, but stretched out a finger to press it, and the magic power in his body flowed, and he leaned over to the bookcase.
After a while, a light blue light lit up on the window.
At the beginning, this light blue light was still very stable, like a small light dotted on the window, but when Steele continued to input magic power for a period of time, this light blue light gradually became unstable Get up, and finally after flashing continuously for a while, it suddenly disappeared.
Steele opened the window and looked at the small magic circle connected to the gap between the windows, his pretty face became gloomy.
All the findings proved one thing, someone broke into this study secretly.
But this person... who could it be? (to be continued!
