The Happy Life of a Duchess

"This is a gentleman who is professing his love to you with flowers." Leo then smiled. Since Adele is so happy, it means that this gift is perfectly suitable and sent to Adele's heart, and she is also very happy Accept, don't take this as a burden.

"If you ask me, the orange-red tulips are so bright... like a flame, emitting a fragrant, dangerous and bewitching fire, yet so delicate and charming. Many people must have seen the waiter holding them all the way, and they really want to ask... ...should not be difficult."

Leo is still curious about the identity of the gentleman who bought such a bouquet of tulips with such a large sum. This flower that is extremely popular in the Netherlands is also very popular in Paris, but it is not easy to grow and requires careful care. I want such a good bouquet It must have cost a fortune.

"No cards yet."

Adele fiddled with it, but did not find any identity cards or cards in the bouquet. It was different from the other ones that usually came with business cards and greeting cards. Those were more like "greeting bouquets" or " Stepping stone", flower is a social and utilitarian "tool".

"Hey, no?" Leo leaned on the back of the sofa, stretched his arms, and muttered to himself after a while, "It's so romantic, Adele, it's so romantic..."

"If his goal was to get my attention, then he was quite successful." Adele smiled afterward, "He didn't let the waiter say his name, and he deliberately didn't bring a business card with him, and he said some specious wishes to me today. If you have a good night..."

"Oh, this is really..." Leo straightened up from the sofa, wearing a corseted dress, it's not really possible to make such a move, but the sudden appearance is quite obvious.

"What a cunning and witty gentleman." Leo praised sincerely.

"Well, yes." Adele nodded in agreement, took one of the half-opened tulips, and directly took out an unused pink hair tie that she kept in her handbag as a spare, and then Smilingly, he tied a beautiful bowknot on the stem of the tulip.

"And I dare say, if I really asked, this 'very smart' gentleman would definitely insist that he just wished me well..." She paused for a moment, and suddenly smiled again.

"Not necessarily, maybe he will say that such an additional 'surprise'-I mean that the behavior he caused caught my attention, and instead made me chase and wonder about this matter, it will only make him extremely happy , he must be more careful and conscientious in order to further impress me."

"Oh, but I'm really happy, very happy, it seems that everything tonight has become extraordinarily exciting."

"Adele, do you know him?!"

Leo reacted.

"Tell me quickly, which family is it, sir, and what's your last name?"

Leo leaned over with a curious face. Rather than inquiring about the identity of the big-spending guest in the private room on the third floor from other people, Leo hoped to hear that name from his friend.

This is really a very romantic story - Leo, as a girl who likes to read and has a poetic temperament, how can she refuse such a wonderful story.

"You guessed it, right?"

Seeing Adele carefully tidying up the tulip that was carefully selected from many flowers and tied with a ribbon, Leo's words became more determined.

"Since he refused to appear in front of us, but he gave such a big gift, I'm too embarrassed not to return it." Adele smiled slyly.

"Want me to show up on my own initiative?" Her eyes were bent into crescent moons, she was in a great mood, "I just won't let him do what he wants."

"Of course it's better for him to think about it. After all, now is the time for him to pursue me."

Adele rang the bell, and the waiter knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Trouble, deliver this tulip to the original owner for me."

This waiter is the one who came in holding a bouquet of tulips. Of course he knows who the one on the third floor is. In fact, several waiters have exchanged information and discussed it in other private rooms, but it hasn't reached a large scale yet. Naturally, everyone talked about it quite reservedly, maybe the protagonist in the topic is more "dreadful"——

Everyone couldn't figure out the intention, whether it was simply sending flowers to bless, or there was a pursuit, or there were other reasons, so due to the identities of the two parties, they couldn't discuss casually, and they were afraid that others would be cheaper.

The waiter looked at the well-trimmed tulip that Adele had chosen from the bouquet and was decorated with a pink hair ribbon bow, and held it carefully with white-gloved hands.

"Do you just need to send it to the private room on the third floor?" He asked.

"Then let me say something by the way."

Adele thought for a while.

"Just say, I also wish him enjoy the moment and have a good night, and that's my return."

She smiled, then nodded with him, signaling that it was all right.

Leopoldina covered her face with a handkerchief, waited for the waiter to leave, then sat up straight with a smile, continued to poke two pieces of fruit, probably feeling quite sweet, and ate a few more mouthfuls.

"Oh, you really save trouble."

Leo laughed and joked with her.

"That's not."

Adele disagreed.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with sending back the flowers sent by the other party.

What's more, it was indeed carefully selected by her and specially decorated. People who don't know it will certainly not know that this headband is hers. It is just an ordinary decorative ribbon, but she believes that such a smart gentleman will be able to understand.

As for how he would feel when he received the gift...

Adele just thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but frowned.

Ah, would a night be good without a lady?

Adele pondered in her heart, feeling more and more amusing.

But who asked him to play this trick with her first? Mystery is mystery, romance is romance, but she——

If you want something more exciting, can her husband hurry up?

Adele had to express regret.

It seemed that she couldn't wait for everything about him, especially when the other party took the initiative to tease her, she was really easily attracted.

"Do you know what it's called?" Adele blinked at her friend, her words were full of teasing and mystery.

"What?" Leo was puzzled, "Isn't this a romantic story?"

"Oh, let me think about it." Leo really guessed along this line of thought.

"I guess this is a gentleman you like very much, but I don't know which gentleman is your favorite object, this is really a lucky one..."

"However, his method is too clever, really good at it, if today's bouquet of flowers was sent to me, among other things, I guarantee that I will inquire about it restlessly until I understand how to send it to me. Only by who is the person who gave me the flower can I calm down, and if I can, I want to see the other party."

"Even if it's not because of love, such a transparent and kind person, just because of a friend's concern, is enough to make me very happy and happy."

"Not to mention, you also returned his favorite tulip, oh yes, you also gave him a ribbon as a gift!"

"If he is not an elm head, then he is probably holding a ribbon at this time, restless..." The smile on her face was even worse, "To be honest, the beauty is so friendly... This kind of 'restlessness', Is there any gentleman who can bear it?"

"Oh, I don't know that, dear." The smile on Adele's face couldn't be suppressed.

"Of course this is not a romantic love story that can be summed up so simply."

"I'm all ears."

Leo made a look of wishing to hear more.

"This is called..." Adele paused intentionally.

Leo waited for a long time before replying, so he glared at her, and Adele smiled even more happily.

Under Leo's curious look, Adele thought about not saying it for fear of getting angry, so she stopped keeping it secret, and finally said it.

"'The King's Chess Change'." Adele was full of excitement, and compared her heart happily, "My 'winning chess'." *

"..."

Leo was silent for a while, she was actually thinking seriously about the relationship between the moves on the chessboard and the relationship between her sending a tulip to the husband in the private room on the third floor, and finally realized angrily that she had been caught by Adele's loud laughter. A friend made a joke.

She didn't hold back her face, and soon laughed too.

Leo was angry and annoyed and said that he wanted to tickle her, and was angry at her girlish heart and romantic feelings that she had crushed by her own hands, and she wanted revenge.

"Adele, love doesn't need to win or lose!" She just felt amused and annoyed, "Don't be so determined to win or lose, you scoundrel!"

"I don't care, I won, I won!"

Adele laughed while hiding in the private room, but still refused to admit it.

"Come less, come less!"

"General!" Adele insisted.

"Take it back, take it back."

Leo felt that it was strange how this romantic matter fell into Adele's mouth, and she hadn't asked the other party's identity until now.

"A good chess player never regrets a move."

Adele responded with a smile, but refused to withdraw.

No matter how much Leo scratched her, she refused to bow her head.

Mr. Smart has long surrendered to her and begged for mercy!

Her heart was filled with joy, but just thinking about it made her feel very happy again.

The open space in the front of the private room can be closed with curtains, and there is an extra back room for rest and conversation in the more upscale private rooms upstairs.

Leo didn't book that kind of private room, but Adele didn't mind, it was a friend's arrangement, and she didn't think it was a big problem.

But the laughter still spread out, and the people on both sides were quite curious when they heard it, but they couldn't see what was going on inside even though the curtain was covering it.

Everyone is somewhat tolerant of beautiful young single girls, especially Leo and Adele, who both have good reputations, and they just show a smile when they fight.

No one was young, and most of the people on both sides were of the same age. Naturally, their attitudes would not be too rigid. Although they were curious, they would not delve into it.

As for the gentleman who received the tulips, after the initial astonishment, he was a little dumbfounded holding the flowers, but that helplessness was full of a gentle smile like honey.

He gently sniffed the sweet fragrance of the flowers, and untied the ribbon from the flower branch with just a slight hook of his fingers. Then, under the slightly surprised expression of a certain silly son, he slowly curled the ribbon with his fingertips, In the midst of lingering affection, she calmly wrapped the pink ribbon around her wrist and hid it under her sleeve.

The author has something to say:

Casting: A move in chess (chess).In each chess game, each side has a chance to move the rook two squares in the direction of the dynasty, and then the rook passes the king and is placed on the next square to the king, as a move executed by the king.According to the left and right, Wang's shift is divided into "long shift" (hind wing shift, notation is 0-0-0) and "short shift" (king's shift, notation is 0-0).King rook shift is a relatively important strategy in chess, with relatively strict rules and restrictions. It involves two pieces, king and rook.

Duvall: Yeah yeah yeah, I lost I lost.

Adele: (circling proudly and happily)
