Chapter 968 Invitation From the Princess
Old Henry chatted with Mia here. This old guy knew one thing, that is, the Edward family was a giant commercial ship, and they had a good relationship with the Edward family. There were only advantages and no disadvantages.
As for the promise made by old Henry here, it has no effect at all. The person who really holds power in the country is the prime minister, not him, the king, so old Henry is very generous and writes such a blank check to Mia.
Of course, Mia also understands that the old Henry’s purpose of saying this is just to curry favor with her. I have seen many people like this around me on weekdays. I don’t think there is anything strange about it. People make money and birds die for food. This has never changed. reason.
"You're welcome, the Edward family. On the one hand, they are supporting the construction of the economy, and at the same time, they are just developing their own family business. It's not as great as they say."
Mia and old Henry said that it doesn't matter to Mia whether old Henry's verbal check is there or not. The Edward family is not short of this money.
Just when Mia was worried about Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi at this time slowly walked over from the side, saw that there was an empty seat beside Mia, and sat down.
Not knowing that Xiao Yi had returned, Mia took a sip from the coffee cup, then put down the cup, and with one hand forward, picked up Mia's cup.
"I'm dying of thirst."
Xiao Yi drank the coffee in the cup in one go, then turned his head and glanced, and met Mia's eyes, Mia was surprised, and Xiao Yi came back here at some point.
"Are you... are you in the rain?"
Mia asked curiously, Xiao Yi's clothes were wet, and his hair was also wet. I don't know what happened before, how could the good-natured Xiao Yi make himself like this.
Xiao Yi's clothes were wet. After sitting down, he took a dry towel and wiped his hair a few times.
"Hey, don't mention it, I got lost in the palace and fell into the water."
"You...you are really a strange creature, how could you fall into the water in such a good way."
"Let's not talk about such a shameful thing."
Xiao Yi said, the banquet is still going on, and the current time is 10:30 in the evening, and if Xiao Yi still can't get what he wants in half an hour, then he will have no chance.
After a while, Annie came out of the room after changing her clothes in the room and came to the banquet scene. Annie changed into a pink evening dress, and two servants dragged their long skirts and appeared in the In front of everyone.
When everyone's eyes at the banquet were focused on Annie, Xiao Yi sat on the chair, stretched out two fingers, and tapped lightly on the table, thinking about what to do next.
At the banquet scene, melodious piano music sounded, and the people in the banquet, accompanied by the melodious melody, danced to the rhythm. This is the last part of the banquet... dancing.
So at the scene, many men put their ideas on Annie, let alone Annie's identity, Annie's appearance, among the women at the scene, is also relatively outstanding.
All of a sudden, many men walked towards Annie. As for Mia, they were not in their consideration at all. There was a world of difference between her and Mia's identities. They knew this very well, so they didn't make a fool of themselves on the spot. up.
In front of Annie, there were many people who wanted to invite her to dance, but Annie didn't have any interest in these people. Now Annie focused on one thing, and that was Xiao Yi.
"I'm sorry for you guys. Although you sincerely invite me, I can only say sorry here."
Rejecting other people's kindness, Annie walked straight towards Xiao Yi. At this moment, Xiao Yi didn't notice that Annie was walking towards him.
Xiao Yi rested his chin on one hand, and kept looking at the crown on Old Henry's head. It looked a bit like a monkey's golden hoop. Xiao Yi felt that Old Henry had violated his rights here.
This crown is what Xiao Yi needs. He must find a way to get this crown, and then escape from the palace.
"Xiao Yi, can you dance with me?"
Annie came to Xiao Yi's side, stretched out a hand and said to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't even bother to turn his head back. He was so focused on putting on the crown at the moment, if he was in the mood to dance, let's go to dance six.
"Not interested in!"
Xiao Yi said decisively, the mouths of the people around him fell to the ground in surprise, their hearts were full of jealousy, Xiao Yi pushed away such a great opportunity.
You have to know how many men at the scene were thinking of this opportunity to dance with Annie. They would have a chance to become old Henry's son-in-law in the future, but now a man appeared and pushed this opportunity away.
Annie was not angry when she was rejected by Xiao Yi, because this was not the first time, she had been rejected by Xiao Yi twice before, and Annie had more or less lost her temper with someone like Xiao Yi.
"Are you really going to reject me?"
Xiao Yi heard another meaning in Annie's words. He didn't want to have anything to do with this woman, but this Annie was too proactive.
"I said that I really don't want to be your son-in-law."
Lowering their voices, Xiao Yi and Annie said in a voice that could only be heard by two people.
Annie didn't have such a plan in the first place, and now she invites Xiao Yi, it's just a simple friendship, she smiled and Annie moved closer to Xiao Yi's ear, and said in a very gentle voice.
"You have to think about it, I don't intend to let you be my man, just find a way to help you complete your affairs."
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment. Annie's words meant that she wanted to get Old Henry's crown for herself. Under such conditions, Xiao Yi couldn't refuse.
"Is what you said true? I told you in advance that I have no interest in any royal family. I just want to be an ordinary person."
"Of course I mean what I say. I won't force you to make decisions you don't want to make. Besides, you are not an ordinary person."
Annie's cheek was pressed against Xiao Yi's face. With such an intimate gesture, I don't know how many men's hearts were beaten to death with a stick, and it also shocked Mia on the side.
Seeing the closeness of the two, and Anne being able to say Xiao Yi's name before, this means that the two of them knew each other before. Mia rested her chin on one hand, and seeing Xiao Yi's figure at this moment, she felt more and more I realized that this Chinese man is so mysterious and complicated.
"It's the first time someone left an impression in my heart, Xiao Yi... God of Death, what kind of storm will a man like you create in this world?"
