All the useless courtesies had been discussed in the first half of the banquet. When the second half of the banquet began, the heads of the small noble families who felt that they could not eat melons or meet Wenxiu Lord all invited the people around them to dance in pairs to the music.

Only a few invited heads of the twenty-eight sacred noble families were left surrounding Wenxiu Lord, wanting to talk to him about future business cooperation.

Wenxiu Lord went around and made polite remarks among several family heads, and then called Sebastian out in his free time, asking him to write down the names of those families that were interested in cooperation, and then arrange a time for an interview. Only then did he have time to take Severus away.

However, before he had much free time, Wenxiu Lord saw many girls of similar age coming towards him and wanting to dance with him.

Sirius Black's operation has opened up new ideas for those families without daughters.

Not only girls surrounded Wenxiu Lord, but many good-looking boys also came up reluctantly after hearing their parents' request.

There were even a few girls around Severus, all of whom wanted to take an unconventional approach, planning to capture him first and then rely on him to get close to Wenxiu Lord. However, before they could get close, they were scared away by Severus' gloomy face and sinister eyes.

Wenxiu Lord had never learned ballroom dancing. Looking at the large group of people surrounding him and staring at him covetously, he felt a headache. He was wondering how to find an excuse to get away and take Severus to find a place to rest.

An elegant voice with a gorgeous ending came from behind him, "I wonder if Mr. Lord and Mr. Snape can give me some time alone. I have something to talk to you two about."

Vincius Lord turned around and saw Lucius Malfoy. Although he didn't know what he wanted to say to him and Severus, it was better to think with one person than to be surrounded by a group of people. Vincius Lord felt that if he didn't find a way to leave, Severus would find a way to drug him.

"Of course, young Mr. Malfoy."

Wenxiu Lord smiled apologetically at everyone, extended his hand to Lucius Malfoy, and led everyone to the empty balcony.

There was no light on the balcony, and only the light from the auditorium and the moonlight could barely make out the face of the person opposite.

Wenxiu Lord took a sip of the grape juice in the glass. Yes, it was grape juice. He had no idea how much he could drink. In order to prevent himself from getting drunk after one sip, he simply replaced all the wine with fruit juice.

"I don't know, what does Mr. Malfoy want to talk about?"

Wenxiu Lord and Severus looked at Lucius Malfoy, who was also shining in the night.

Lucius Malfoy put on a gentleman's smile and said, "Nothing. I just thought you two should take a break, so I came up with this excuse."

Wenxiu Lord smiled softly, "Mr. Malfoy is really as 'considerate' as your father. Severus and I would like to thank you."

Lucius Malfoy listened to Wenxiu Lord's praise and raised his chin proudly, "You are very capable and smart. The Malfoy family likes to make friends with smart people."

Wenxiu Lord looked at the boy's arrogant appearance. Draco Malfoy in the movie was exactly the same as he is now.

Wenxiu Lord took a sip of the grape juice in the glass and looked at Lucius Malfoy with a sincere smile in his eyes.

He raised his glass and clinked it with Lucius Malfoy's champagne glass, making a crisp sound. "My pleasure."

Severus frowned as he watched the increasingly harmonious atmosphere between the two.

The banquet was finally over. After the crowd had completely left Lord Manor, Wenxiu Lord lay on the big bed in his bedroom and reached out to untie his tie.

"Can't you change your clothes first?" Severus saw him lying on the bed without changing his clothes, and felt a dull pain in his temples. 'How does this man manage to be so decent in front of others?'

Instead of getting up to change clothes, Wenxiu Lord rolled over and let the quilt wrap him up. "No, I can't move anymore. I can't use my brain for the next week."

Severus frowned, "Oh, you didn't act like that when you faced Lucius Malfoy."

He strode to the bed, grasped a corner of the quilt and pulled it hard, and Wenxiu Lord spun 360 degrees in the air and fell back onto the bed.

Wenxiu Lord could only sit up and said, "The mysterious man behind the Malfoy family is the Tom Riddle I told you about. He is not someone you can easily mess with. Even if he can't find Lord Manor, there is no guarantee that someone will not cause trouble for us after we go to school. It is still very useful to maintain superficial friendship with the Malfoy family now."

In fact, he had some little ideas. He wanted to build a good relationship with Lucius Malfoy, so that maybe he could poach Voldemort's girl in the future. This was a purse of money, and who would complain about having too much money?

Seeing that Severus looked much better, Wenxiu Lord continued, "Moreover, the Malfoy family is currently the most powerful family among the twenty-eight sacred families. There are hardly any people from the twenty-eight families who came to the banquet today. After making friends with Malfoy, with his power, we can get a lot of benefits."

Wenxiu Lord rubbed his head against Severus and raised the corner of his mouth, "Now I am the only one left in the Lord family. Woohoo Severus, why don't you change your last name to Lord and accompany me, and we can be brothers."

Severus was so angry that he laughed. He raised his finger and pressed it against Vinciu Lord's forehead, pushing him away from him. "Is your head filled with grape juice? Why don't you call yourself Vinciu Snape?"

Wenxiu Lord covered his forehead in pain. "It's just a joke. Anyway, there is no difference between us and brothers now," he muttered softly, "The last name Snape is worse than Prince."

Severus didn't catch the last words he said, "What?"

Wenxiu Lord shook his head quickly, "It's okay, I'm too tired, I want to sleep until 12 o'clock tomorrow."

Severus just couldn't stand him anymore and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He slept exceptionally soundly, and just as he had said last night, Wenxiu Lord did not open his eyes until after 12 noon.

He was woken up by Severus, otherwise he could have continued sleeping.

"Severus, aren't you brewing a potion?"

Wearing loose pajamas, she walked to the dining table, picked up a piece of bread, held it in her mouth, snuggled up on the sofa and closed her eyes again.

"I used the cauldron with the automatic stirring function," Severus ate the honey-glazed lamb chops and looked up at the sleepy Wenxiu Lord. "Don't sleep. Go and clean up. You should have a lot of work today."

"???"

Wenxiu Lord couldn't sleep now. He opened his eyes and looked at Severus in confusion, "What's going on?"

Severus calmly cut the steak for him, "Sebastian asked me to wake you up. He said that the letters were going to fill up the study and he needed you to deal with them."

"Huh?!!!" Wenxiu Lord's eyes widened and the bread in his mouth fell to the ground.
