one step away [Interstellar]

107.

As the rumors deepened, attention began to be cast on Heber and her children.There are blurry pictures of children circulating on the interstellar network, which are from the Letzburg competition a few years ago.As for the scandal between Heber and Xia Zuo, there is an intimate scene at the prince's wedding more than ten years ago as evidence.

Under such gazes of attention, Xia Zuo, who clearly knew this was the truth, was a little powerless.Although Heber said time and time again that he didn't care what others said about him, Xia Zuo cared very much.Especially when she took time out to celebrate her children's birthdays in a low-key way.

Chen Nuo and Li Qi inherited Xia Zuo's height, and compared with children of the same age, their height advantage is very obvious.At the age of growing their bodies, the children looked very slender and slender, like wicker being pulled out.

At this age, the children who already have their own little friends invited their friends to have a party at home with Heber's permission on their first birthday.At the moment, he is busy arranging the living room for his birthday party.

The children were full of energy, Heber asked the servants to lead them to toss, and he was in the kitchen with Sylvia making small snacks for the children's birthday party.

She has been busy since the morning, and it was not until the afternoon that she prepared the little cake for the birthday party tonight.Sang Xu, who has finished filming for a long time, has stayed at Heber's house for more than a month, and is very familiar with the approachable Sylvia next door.

Sang Xu, who didn't go into the kitchen very much, followed her sister, preparing the birthday snacks for her nieces very carefully, and teasing Sylvia when she had time.

"How was the blind date a few days ago, handsome or beautiful?" Sang Xu knew that her sister's friend who lived next door was being forced to go on a blind date, and it had been like this in recent years, so every time she teased Sang Xu will start with this topic.

Sylvia was busy tossing the snack in her hand, and smiled when she heard this, "It's cute."

"Cute? Girl? Do you like this type?" Sang Xu raised her eyebrows, looking at Sylvia beside her and said.

"I think the cute one she said should be a child. Does the other party have children?" Heber, who was handling the small cake slowly, said softly.Sylvia heard what she said and thought, looking at her, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled.

"Is your mother already worried to this extent? Speaking of which, do you two really think about getting married when you two have such a tacit understanding? Besides, my sister has three children, and she can also resist some gossip. It kills three birds with one stone." Because For some boring people, Sang Xu knew that her sister was the mistress of the little duke in the eyes of those people.And because of certain things, Sang Xu recently disliked the little duke very much.

Therefore, she is very happy to make some harmless jokes.

"Xu..." He Bo shook his head at her, signaling her not to make jokes.Sang Xu stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, okay, when will Xia Zuo arrive, did she tell me?"

"I'll come over in the evening. The day after tomorrow is just the full moon of Marquis Ellen's child. She's going back to San Lorenzo, so she asked for a few days off." Thinking of someone, Heber couldn't help laughing, as if there was something wrong , will get better when you meet her.

"Ah, that's right, General Natasha's child is also at the full moon. Sister, why don't you go back with her and have a look?" Xia Zuo's wife, Natasha, had a child a year ago. She was born a month ago, so it is indeed a full moon.

This is the first child of the Marquis, and also the first grandchild of the eldest princess. For some reason, many people were invited to the banquet.Among them was Heber's father, the Marquis Violet.

Such scenes were all people that Heber had often met in the past.If she appeared with Xia Zuo, it would confirm the rumors, which is what some people would like to see.

These things are nothing to Heber, because Natasha is someone she has always admired.If there is an opportunity to congratulate her, Heber is very happy.Long before this, Xia Zuo had extended an invitation to her.Unfortunately, Heber had an appointment with a very important client that day, but he was unable to attend the banquet, so he rejected Xia Zuo.

When hearing what his sister said, Heber also replied in the same way, "I will go to meet Nicholas with Sylvia the day after tomorrow, and there is no way to attend."

But she picked a gift for Xia Zuo and herself, and gave it to the newborn child.I hope this little thought can be conveyed.

When Sang Xu heard what her sister said, she could only shrug.For a sister who is obsessed with work, it is impossible to consume an important client of her just by attending a full moon banquet.And, if Heber doesn't go, he can avoid some trouble, so so be it.

Maybe the little duke would be a little sad, Sang Xu thought.

After all, it was her sister's child's birthday party. If her sister was willing to accompany her to attend, she would be very happy.

After all, as Amanda said, she was terrified when reporting tasks with Xia Zuo recently.It seemed that even those rumors that were suppressed by force still maintained a sense of existence, they also became a thorn in the little duke's heart.

But judging from his sister's performance, the little duke did not show such emotions.How should I put it, as far as her brother-in-law's little thoughtfulness for her sister's sake, Sang Xu felt that he should stop tripping her up.

But obviously, she wasn't going to speak well of the little duke either.

Maintaining such a delicate attitude, Sang Xu was looking forward to the scene where the little duke held his breath in front of his sister.Who made Amanda her such a close companion?

Xia Zuo came back before the children's little friend arrived, and hadn't seen her for a long time, and both Chen Nuo and Li Qi were very happy.Amanda, who came after her, was also a favorite of the children.

"Ah, Amanda." The lively Li Qi jumped up happily when she saw her little aunt.The girl's slender and slender body flew towards her, and Amanda happily took Li Qi and greeted her after not seeing her for a long time.

Sang Xu, who was coming out of the kitchen, happened to see this scene, looked at Amanda who was greeting her niece, and snorted coldly.Amanda, who was happy to meet the children, suddenly became cautious when she saw Sang Xu.She looked at Sang Xu not far away, lowered her head, and called out, "Miss Westerell."

Sang Xu followed her mother's surname. After one night, Amanda, who had always called her Miss Sang Xu, began to respect her by her surname. This made Sang Xu unhappy. She just nodded and said with a half-smile, "Long time no see." , Lieutenant Colonel Amanda."

As he spoke, his gaze was still roving up and down his body.This made Amanda feel embarrassed, she blushed, and Li Qi walked aside to talk.

Li Qi, who noticed their eye contact the whole time, looked at the little aunt beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Does Amanda like little aunt?"

Five years younger than Xia Zuo, the young and powerful lieutenant colonel blushed and tried his best to deny it, "No... no... no... By the way, Li Qi, happy birthday, this is a gift for you." As Amanda said so, she took out a box from her heavy windbreaker pocket.

Li Qi opened the box, and there was a shining gem lying inside.

"Ah! Thank you!" Li Qi jumped up and smiled sweetly at Amanda, her red eyes shining brightly.Li Qi, who inherited her mother's pupil color, also inherited her mother's hobbies, being very keen on collecting gems.

It was her ninth birthday, because she got the same gemstone necklace as Chen Nuo from the eldest princess, and Li Qi discovered another hobby besides sweets.

"You're welcome, it's best if you like it." Amanda said, looking at Cheno who was talking to Xia Zuo, and was about to send out the model gun she had prepared.

Everyone has noticed the delicate atmosphere between Amanda and Sang Xu, only Xia Zuo who has been absent.It may be that the recent busy work has exhausted her mind. After returning, Heber found that she was not in the state.

"Xia Zuo... Xia Zuo..." The woman's soft voice rang in his ears, Xia Zuo looked up, and happened to see a pair of unusually beautiful red eyes.

"What's the matter?" Xia Zuo, who had been following He Bei all the time since he came back, replied in a daze.

"Do you want to go to the room to rest first, it will start at seven o'clock tonight. Do the children have many friends? It will be very lively tonight. You are very tired. Go and rest first. We are enough here." Heber Saying that, looking at the man in front of him who hadn't even taken off his uniform, his eyes were full of concern.

Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, is there anything I can do to help?" She took a deep breath, regained her spirits, looked at the maids walking around, looked at the fruit plate in the dining car beside Heber and said, " I'll push this out, I've been a little busy recently, but it's still manageable."

Last night, the various military departments engaged in night raids against each other. As the commander, Xia Zuo had been dealing with things all night and didn't get much sleep, so he looked a little tired.In fact, she has been very busy with work recently, because after Ellen had a child, Xia Zuo helped her with a lot of things in order to take care of her sister who was a new mother.

Hebe looked at the back of her carrying the plate and leaving, her eyes were full of worry.

Sang Xu on the side looked at her worried eldest sister and said, "I heard that after military officers get married, family visits will be more humane. Since you love her so much, sister, don't you consider getting married?"

As long as they are married, those gossips are nothing.They are very legitimate partners. They love each other, and it is not a wrong thing to love each other. Why can't they be together?

So, why not get married?

Heber is also thinking about this question, as long as they get married, isn't it all right?Of course, even if she is not married, it will have no effect on her current situation.

Her work will not be affected because of this problem, and the children can know that she and Xia Zuo are in love, that's enough.It's just Xia Zuo...

Hebe frowned, and didn't reply to Sang Xu's words immediately.

At this moment, Sylvia's snacks were coming out of the oven. Sang Xu glanced at Sylvia, who was busy, and said with a smile, "If you are not going to get married, sister, do you really not consider Sylvia?"

"She lives next door to you, very close, easy working hours, you spend a lot of time together, and the children like her too. Hey, Sylvia, look, you are not forced to get married, do you want to Chase after my sister. You have known each other for so many years, so you can get the moon first if you are near the water."

The fearless Sang Xu looked at the two of them and said gloatingly.

"If I had a heart for your sister, I would pursue her desperately. But first, I don't have one, and second, my friend's wife." Sylvia shook her head and smiled, putting her snacks on a plate .

Sang Xu pursed her lips and shrugged, "It's just a joke, if you really like my sister, please hurry up and chase after her. It's really hard for her to be with Xia Zuo."

Yes, aren't they dating?Are the children not jointly owned?For so many years, He Bo has always been by the child's side, and Xia Zuo came whenever he could, and left whenever he wanted.

"Xu..." Heber looked at his sister, and during her occasional complaints, they affirmed together, "I don't feel hard, this is my choice, and I feel very happy."

,

"But Xia Zuo can't stay with you. She can't even come back early to make the children's cakes with you. You have taken care of the children from three years old to now. It's very hard, sister." She lived in Hebe for more than a month, and San Xu felt wronged for her sister.

"It's not a problem." He Bo said that there was no problem, because Xia Zuo was really busy.

"It's up to you, but in my opinion, Sylvia is much better than Xia Zuo, at least she can accompany you. It won't let you suffer so much gossip."

Mingyan's voice came to his ears, and Xia Zuo outside the door moved the steps he had stood for a long time, and walked towards the bedroom.

Sure enough, she still couldn't take care of Heber well, could she?
