Counterattack [Interstellar]

"You guys are a bit late." Mrs. Jenny walked towards the two of them, holding Prince Adair's arm, and smiled, "Major General, you are here too."

Mrs. Jenny winked at Pei Yao, but she didn't know that Pei Yao had already told Alan all their secrets. Pei Yao smiled helplessly and nodded.

"Alan." Prince Adair stepped forward to hug Allen and said with a smile, "We finally meet."

Allen hurriedly apologized: "It was my fault for not being able to attend your birthday party last time. There was a little accident, and I..." Naturally, Adair knew about the accident, and Adair knew what he said She smiled, turned her head to look at Pei Yao, and said with a smile, "I often hear Jenny talking about you, and I've heard of many of your achievements before. I'm very glad to get to know you formally here today."

Adair has a calm personality, is elegant in conversation and has no airs, and is very easy to get along with. He and Pei Yao both grew up in the army, and there are many topics to talk about. Taking advantage of the happy conversation between the two, Mrs. Jenny walked to Alan and whispered Said: "Bettina has arrived."

Allen adjusted the cuff buttons, and said lightly: "I was notified before... I heard that she ordered more than a dozen dresses for today."

"Hey..." Mrs. Jenny couldn't help laughing, "Yes, she hasn't had the chance to wear a dress for so many years, and it's hard for Auston to let her out. Of course, you have to have a good time. Come with me to see Aussie Come on, don't worry, Bettina won't come out yet."

Allen handed his arm to Mrs. Jenny, and smiled disdainfully: "I have nothing to worry about, she should be the one who should be afraid..."

The two walked in slowly, and Alan greeted a few familiar stars with a smile. Mrs. Jenny comforted Alan with a smile: "Whether you are worried or not...Today is Auston's birthday party, Betty Na dare not do anything out of the ordinary."

Allen was noncommittal, let go of Mrs. Jenny's arm and hugged Oston, Oston also smiled and hugged his little son back, and lovingly kissed Ellen on both sides of the cheek a few times, allowing the cameraman to shoot After taking enough photos, Allen took a few steps back with a blank expression on his face. Oston himself was disgusting enough. He hadn't kissed Allen for many years, and Allen was even more uncomfortable. He drank the white wine that came up in one gulp, and finally suppressed the uncomfortable energy.

"Be careful not to get drunk." Alston gave Allen a dissatisfied look. "There will be a few routine interviews with reporters in a while, and you must stay sober at all times."

Allen put the empty champagne glass into the tray, took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his mouth, saying, "I drink better than you think."

"Okay." Before Auston got angry, Mrs. Jenny smoothed things over in a timely manner, "Can't you father and son have a good talk one day, Alan... I'm going to criticize you, today is His Majesty's birthday, good boy A little, okay?"

Alan still hated Auston's connivance of Bettina's frequent public appearance recently. Where did he get angry? The loving son is filial, and when he saw this, he just snorted and said nothing. Mrs. Jenny relaxed and enlivened the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard that General Balck will also be here today?"

"Yes, Balk just came back from Tara, and it might be a little later." Oston turned to look at Allen, "Balk had some conflicts with the aborigines at Tara, do you know?"

This is the news that Auston received less than half an hour ago. Allen naturally didn't know it. This also caught the attention of Mrs. Jenny. She raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? Is it serious..."

It was rare for Auston to patiently talk about political affairs with the two of them, and at the other end of the palace square, Pei Yao met an unexpected visitor.

"Major General, can I have a chat with you?" Bettina wore a champagne evening dress tonight. She pulled her hair up high and fixed it with a few pearl hairpins. The two locks of curly hair hung down naturally. Come down, seemingly casual, but full of delicacy, Bettina smiled gently, "Don't be so guarded, I just want to chat with my son's former subordinates, you know, my son was exiled ..."

Bettina lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Recently, I like chatting with his former maids, housekeepers, and subordinates. Hearing them talk about Anthony will make me feel better."

Bettina forced a smile: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, I... hope you can understand the mood of a mother."

Pei Yao looked at Bettina silently, and said for a while, "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

Bettina was stunned for a moment, she obviously heard that... Pei Yao is a very kind person, people who are familiar with him say that as long as you show weakness to him, he will usually help you...

Pei Yao glanced around from the corner of his eye. The few people chatting in twos and threes nearby seemed casual, but they were obviously acting. If he guessed correctly, Prince Adair should have been sent away just now. They were disciplined. Purposefully, Pei Yao pursed his thin lips slightly. What is Bettina trying to do?

The little accident did not disrupt Bettina's plan. She smiled wryly and said: "I see, you still hate that stupid kid Anthony, don't you? I think I should explain a little bit about what happened back then, Anthony completely I was deceived by Admiral Matthew, in fact..."

"Madam." Pei Yao interrupted Bettina and stated calmly, "If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is older than me, and I am already 36 years old this year."

Just now the phrase "stupid child" fell on Bettina's face like a slap, Bettina's Persian cat Quantum beast screamed in embarrassment. She said that Pei Yao was a pure and kind person and scolded him thousands of times. Bettina took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, tried to calm down, and said embarrassingly: "In the eyes of mothers, children are still children no matter how old they are... I understand you It doesn't matter if you are dissatisfied, if you still have any grievances, please vent them to me together."

Bettina smiled bitterly and said: "I thought a lot after Anthony left... Maybe Anthony made too many mistakes, so God punished us like this. I want to try my best to make up for it. Maybe I still can't get your forgiveness, but at least I will Be at ease."

Bettina's tone was very sincere, and what she said was very attractive. Unfortunately, Pei Yao didn't believe a single word. Pei Yao didn't want to entangle her any more, so he nodded slightly and said, "I have something to do, excuse me."

"Major General." Bettina stopped Pei Yao and said helplessly, "Do you have to be so indifferent? I just want to atone for my poor son, okay... I know you are very busy, so I will express my gratitude to you directly. Sincerity, okay?"

Although the script was disrupted by Pei Yao, the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with Pei Yao was so rare that Bettina could not give up and had to continue, she smiled kindly: "I don't know if you know, I have a pair of twins The guide nephew and niece of your guide, this year they have already graduated, and they will graduate in the White Tower soon, I am willing to lead a red line for you and one of them, okay?"

"If you're interested, I can even arrange for you to meet." Bettina said softly, "Birch looks like me, and An Qi looks more like her father. Although I don't want to boast, I think they can satisfy you in terms of looks. ...Major General, you are a sentry, a very powerful sentry, you should be combined with a guide, this will make you stronger, a sentry like you should not be alone, this is also the loss of the empire, no ?"

Pei Yao was a little startled when he heard that, Bettina thought she had succeeded, and her heart became more at ease, and she said persuasively, "As long as you nod your head, you will be able to marry a guide in a short time... You know better than me how scarce guides are now. The threshold is increasing year by year, if you just apply according to the regulations, you don’t know how long you will have to wait.”

"To be honest, I also agree with you and Your Highness Allen's point of view, and I am not optimistic about the blind date banquet, so I have always hoped to find a reliable sentinel for Birch and An Qi, and I hope to have a good relationship with you." Compensation, this..." Bettina smiled in relief, "Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Bettina sensitively captured the small changes in Pei Yao's eyes, and slowly said: "If you are worried about not being able to explain to His Highness Alan... I am willing to overcome all difficulties for you. After all, it is not difficult to arrange an accident. I can Try to get you to go to the White Tower, you will have an unexpected encounter with one of them you like, he may be in heat, you are forced to respond to his pheromones, and a good story has been achieved, which makes sense, right? ?”

Pei Yao's heart shuddered, and he finally understood Bettina's intentions.

Pei Yao glanced around subconsciously. If he refused today... would the scene Bettina just mentioned come true?

Although Pei Yao thinks that he has strong control, he can't guarantee what will happen if he is in the same room with a estrous man without a tranquilizer. Back then on the Pearl, it was not marked that Alan was relying on him to self-destruct and inject tranquilizers, but if he was really designed by this woman without defense...

Pei Yao didn't dare to think about it, he and Ai Lun had only established a short-term bond, and he could hardly refuse Ai Lun's request. Pei Yao couldn't imagine how powerful it would be after the real mark.

Bettina wanted to use the guide to steal Alan's secret from herself.

In an instant, Pei Yao's thoughts became very clear. The question that he and Alan had been pondering over for many days finally had an answer. Pei Yao ignored the dumb Bettina, turned around and left quickly.

Auston talked endlessly. Although they were all topics that Alan liked to listen to, somehow Alan was unconsciously irritable today. Before Auston finished speaking, Alan turned around to find Pei Yao in a very rude manner. .

"Your Highness."

Ai Lun saw Pei Yao within a few steps out of the hall, and Ai Lun felt relieved instantly, and reprimanded with a smile: "You just like chatting with Prince Adair so much?"

"No..." Pei Yao was a little flustered. He tried his best to calm down, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said firmly, "Your Highness, please... make our relationship public."
