Did the male lead change his ways today?

When Dior and Joannes walked in the garden of the manor, the two remained silent.

Qiao Qiao showed a rare quietness, and she didn't know whether it was because she was too tight by the waist of the skirt, or the words her cousin said brought pressure to her.

In fact, Dio heard the whole conversation between Jojo and her cousin. In order to pay attention to them, he had to disperse some energy. As a result, he didn't keep up with those old guys and was distracted several times.

It's all Jojo's fault, she is always so able to influence him.The more Dior thinks about her, the more emotional she feels. Those who say behind his back that he is just an adopted son will stab his self-esteem and make him full of hatred, but this is different from the impact Jojo has on him.

But Dio had had enough, and he decided to relax a little bit, and he was able to calm down and think a little while walking with Jojo.When they walked to the garden courtyard, Qiao Qiao seemed to have finally decided to break the silence, and suddenly spoke.

"Dior, I'm sorry for what Willy said to you, it's not fair, no one gets to choose where they come from, and you've done better than anyone else."

……oh?Why does Jojo still care about this?

Of course he knows that he is very good, but in fact he looks down on everyone present.Cousin Qiao Qiao didn't even take those words to heart, why should he care what the monkeys think?And he believed that one day, sooner or later, he would make those people kneel at his feet and beg him for forgiveness.

"It's okay, those are not important. You don't need to apologize to me for your cousin."

He didn't want to discuss boring topics, he waved his hand generously, then Dio took out a box from his suit pocket, and handed it to Joannes under her surprised gaze.

"Oh yes, this is your birthday present."

"You got a present for me, Dio?"

She seemed to be staring at the box in disbelief, which made Dio a little displeased, but at this moment, Joannes suddenly stepped forward and gently wrapped Dio's neck and hugged him.

...Oh, hell, she is still so unconscious, obviously he has educated her many times!

"Thank you for remembering me, Dio, I'm so happy!"

"...you haven't seen what it is."

When Qiao Qiao's soft body was pressed against him, he couldn't help but twitched.In order to fight off the impending embarrassment, he immediately pushed Jojo away, put his hands in his pockets, and looked away.

"It's okay, as long as it's from you, I'll be very happy."

Joannes said happily, staring at Dio with her shining beautiful blue eyes and said, "Actually, I also have a gift for you, but I didn't bring it with me. There is nothing in this dress. I will send it to you later. room."

"Ah."

Dio wanted to show that he didn't care. He pointed to the box in Jojo's hand and reminded her loudly, "It's time to unwrap the presents."

Hurry up, he wants to see Jojo's reaction immediately.

"Well, okay, let me see what you bought Dior."

Joannes immediately began to unpack the packing bag, and when she saw what was inside was a diamond necklace with a bowknot shining silver-white light under the moon, she was completely stunned.She was stunned for a while, then raised her head uncertainly, and confirmed to Dio, "Is this for me?"

"What else? Should I wear it myself?"

Dio suddenly wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, what was Jojo's reaction?He spent so much time customizing the necklace specially for her birthday, but she didn't show the surprise and excitement he imagined at all, with an ungrateful look...

"No... I just think it's too precious."

She shook her head and looked at him worriedly, "We can't afford this with our pocket money, Dior, where did you get so much money?"

...and that's her problem?How did he buy it?

But he still restrained his displeasure and answered her, "You know I'm good at chess. I was invited to join a gentleman's club this year. I won it from those people by playing chess."

"So that's the case, you are too powerful!"

Joannes suddenly showed a relieved expression, and she smiled at Dio again, "I thought you spent all the pocket money you saved for so many years for me, because you are always very frugal, except books I wouldn't buy anything other than that. I'd be really upset if that happened."

……what.

Does he look like the kind of guy who would give his money for JoJo?You think well, Jojo, this is just a small part worth mentioning, don't be too sentimental.

He gave such an expensive gift just to reduce Qiao Qiao's defense against him and increase Qiao Qiao's sense of guilt, without any other meaning.

"Ah, but if that's the case, I'm too embarrassed to give you my present..."

Jojo suddenly seemed a little uneasy, and she was about to shrink back. Seeing this, Dio quickly stopped him, "It's okay! Jojo, what matters is not the value of the gift, but the kindness of the gift. In fact, I'm really looking forward to what you will give me."

Let him see if Qiao Qiao's things can be taken out. If her gift is too different from his, he can justifiably humiliate her... Hmph, this is not a game of playing tricks.Everything is in his plan.

"OK then."

Jojo tentatively agreed, and then she picked up the extremely valuable bow necklace to admire for a moment, looked at Dio expectantly and asked, "Can you help me put it on? Brother."

"of course."

Dio took the necklace from Jojo and came behind her.Under the moonlight, Jojo's skin exudes a beautiful luster, like a pearl.Her neck was very slender, her chest was white and full... Dio forced himself not to pay attention to those places, he put the necklace on Jojo with difficulty, and he swore that his hands never shook.

"Okay, Jojo."

He stepped back, keeping a polite distance, "Do you need to look in the mirror?"

"It's okay, I don't want to go back yet, but I think it must be very beautiful."

Qiao Qiao gently stroked the necklace on her chest with her fingers. She looked extremely charming, cute and feminine, "What do you think?"

"..."

not bad.Both JoJo and the necklace he bought look pretty good.

Dio just wanted to admit it reluctantly, but when he thought that this was a gift he chose himself, even though he would never praise Jojo, the words that came out of his mouth became, "Well, it's very beautiful, it suits you very well. "

"I will cherish it."

Qiao Qiao laughed, showing her white teeth. She seemed to be in a very good mood, and she walked around the garden a few times with her skirt in hand.She closed her eyes, stepped on the petals, and her skirt was slightly raised, as beautiful as an oil painting.

Dio sat on the steps, staring at Jojo coldly through those amber eyes, then she came back to Dio with great vigor, took his hand, and asked very excitedly, "Dio, do you want to dance? "

"……what?"

Dio froze for a moment, not following her words.

Does Jojo want to go back to dancing again?Isn't it because she hates those things?I went out for a walk because I couldn't breathe... Dio felt a little unhappy again, oh my god, her physical strength recovered so quickly, she is really a wild boar...

"I noticed that you didn't dance with anyone today. There are obviously several girls who have been watching you, hoping to get your invitation." Joannes said briskly.

...Oh, it turned out to be this.His attention was entirely on Jojo, and he had no energy to socialize with those stupid and arrogant noble ladies.Jojo doesn't think anything of him, and he doesn't need to dance with anyone on purpose to make her jealous.

"Because you are the protagonist of the ball, don't worry about me, Jojo."

Dio said indifferently, and stood up from the steps, pulling his white suit, but Joannes shook her head, she looked at him with a smile, and sent him an invitation directly.

"So you want to dance with me, Dio."

"..."

Dio was taken aback for another moment, then he raised his eyebrows and raised his chin to look at Joannes, "Are you inviting me? Jojo."

"Yes, can you, Mr. Brando?"

Jojo lifted her skirt and curtsied to him with a smile, "What do you think when we finish this dance and we slip away from the ball together?"

"..."

Dio couldn't help being surprised, he usually behaved very well in front of George and never made mistakes.But what he had to admit was that Qiao Qiao's proposal made him very excited.

It's JoJo's style, not his.But after months of confinement, he knew he should be more cautious, but he wanted to.

To hell with the ball, the rules, and old George you old bastard.

"Okay, then let's run away together." He cleared his throat and agreed.

But Dio quickly became vigilant again. He thought for a while, then stared at Joannes and added, "If father asks, you should say it was you who proposed it, you know."

"Of course, I brought this up in the first place. Dad will definitely be very angry, but I am ready to be scolded."

Joannes giggled, showing no qualms about making such a bold proposal.

"Have you considered what the consequences will be?" He narrowed his eyes and finally reminded.

In fact, Dio knew very well that because he agreed to Jojo's ridiculous proposal, George would be very disappointed in him.As a perfect son, he should never allow his sister to be so capricious, but he just wanted to do it.

"Of course." Jojo looked at him boldly, "Maybe he will be kept in confinement, and all social dances may be cancelled, are you afraid, Dio?"

"If you want to regret it, there is still time." He sneered.

"Of course not, I won't regret it." Jojo smiled extraordinarily happily.

Dio unexpectedly discovers that Jojo is more rebellious than he imagined, and after George forced her to take lady lessons, she has been resisting being bound by the rules.

What would she have become if she had been a boy?

While thinking about this question in his mind, Dio held Jojo's gloved hand.

"Come dance, Jojo."

A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he put his other hand on Joannes' waist.

Although unlike the brightly lit mansion, there was no laughter or music, the moonlight poured down on the two of them, and Dio's unblemished blond hair shone like platinum.He hugged Qiao Qiao, and the figures of the two slowly turned around in the quiet courtyard.

At this time, Dior finally confirmed one thing.

He doesn't hate Jojo anymore.
