keep the moon

The dinner for the four of them was held in an apartment under the name of Draper. In fact, it was an apartment, but the interior decoration was extremely luxurious, and there was even a back garden and swimming pool around it.

Jiang Shouyue had never been here before, and looking at the decoration in this apartment, she felt a little strange for some reason.

He felt that the inner style of this apartment was quite different from that of Draper's manor.

If the decoration of the manor can be regarded as low luxury, then the decoration here is a proper nouveau riche style.

"God, is this trying to blind my eyes?"

Lu Xiuming, who was walking behind, was not as determined as Jiang Shouyue, so he couldn't help but complain.

But no one expected that Draper would answer their doubts:

"This apartment was a birthday gift from Lancaster in the early years, so the decoration is also the consistent style of the royal family."

Lancaster... no wonder.

Jiang Shouyue thought, no wonder it looked so familiar, it turned out to be the same decoration style as the palace.

"If Young Master Jiang doesn't like it, I'll ask someone to redesign it later."

When Jiang Shouyue heard this, of course she refused, and quickly shook her head, expressing that she had no such idea.

"It's okay. The location of this apartment is good. If Young Master Jiang wants to travel after marriage, this place should be a good place to rest."

This time, Draper didn't listen to Jiang Shouyue's opinion, and decided on his own idea of ​​changing the style here.

The scene in front of him was really doting on Lu Xiuming who was behind him, and he gave a soft "tsk", thinking that the Duke was eating his small personality to death.

Looking at it this way, it is a good thing for Jiang Shouyue, who has been weak since childhood, and is not easy to be bullied.

He could only think this way, after all, he himself hadn't experienced the hardships of marriage, so he didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly.

……

After dinner, Lu Xiuming and Jiang Shouqi originally wanted to leave first, but who would have thought that before they could speak, His Excellency the Duke would invite them to stay here for one night with a smile.

To say that the biggest difference between the Duke's invitation and the order is that there is no difference.

Lu Xiuming and Jiang Shouqi had no choice but to live in this apartment.

Seeing that she and her cousin stayed here, how could Jiang Shouyue leave by herself.

In the end, the three of them were all kept here by Duke Draper.

Lu Xiuming excitedly came to chat with Jiang Shouyue while Draper was going to deal with official business.

Jiang Shouyue was in her room at that time, just about to take off her clothes to take a bath, when she heard Lu Xiuming's call, she reluctantly opened the door, and was thrown to the ground by Lu Xiuming.

Fortunately, the ground was covered with blankets, and there was no pain at all.

"Lu Xiuming! Don't make trouble."

Jiang Shouyue had already taken off his coat, but now Lu Xiuming threw him down, the shirt inside became even tighter, and the buttons were also pulled, and it seemed to be about to collapse.

"Oh my, I'm sorry."

Lu Xiuming still had a hippie smile on his face, and there was an evil spirit on his delicate face.

"I'm so happy. When I think of Shouyue and you are going to marry the Duke, I feel like I'm finally going to get through it."

Lu Xiuming's words sounded ambiguous. Most people might think who they marry is none of your business, but Jiang Shouyue understood why Lu Xiuming said that.

Lu Xiuming was originally the ruler of the slums in Suoyaodu District. For the sake of the well-being of the entire slums, he almost trained himself to be a fox with thousands of faces. Xiu Ming can almost think of his moist little days in the future.

But Jiang Shouyue knew that this was destined to hit Lu Xiuming in the face.

Not to mention whether Lu Xiuming would be implicated after Jiang Shouyue's death, even if Jiang Shouyue really married Draper sincerely, how could Draper support the Suoyao slum because of him.

"Don't be too happy, what will happen in the future is uncertain."

Jiang Shouyue reached out and pushed Lu Xiuming away, and stood up, "Draper is not as stupid as you think."

"Of course the Duke is not stupid, but money is not as important as a beauty."

Lu Xiuming lay on Jiang Shouyue's bed like an old Lai, his face was full of wretchedness,

"What's more, you are a beauty like Shouyue. I think the Duke is eaten to death by you."

"..."

Jiang Shouyue was at a loss for words immediately, and she really held back her childhood for a whole day, but now she didn't have a word that could catch her ear.

But he didn't reply, and Lu Xiuming didn't care at all, he lay there lazily, laughing and teasing: "It's no wonder you donated your property so readily, well married, well married, the biggest winner in the end is actually me Ha ha."

Seeing the cunning face of this omega in front of her, Jiang Shouyue was helpless, and didn't want to say more, but when he died, if this person could come to his grave every year to pay respects to him, he would be thankful.

"Really..."

Jiang Shouyue also sat down on the bed, looked at Lu Xiuming and asked, "So that's why you came to me?"

"of course not."

Lu Xiuming's eyes fell directly on Jiang Shouyue, looked at it for a moment, and then asked a little deeply,

"Tell me the truth, how long have you known the Duke?"

Jiang Shouyue was taken aback by his small words. He never thought that Lu Xiuming would ask him such a strange question:

"What do you ask for this?"

"Because I always feel that you have done a lot of things without telling me."

Lu Xiuming's face suddenly became serious, and his deep purple eyes looked at Jiang Shouyue seriously, "No, you must have done a lot of things that surprised me without telling me."

"Why do you say that?"

Listening to Jiang Shouyue's question, Lu Xiuming fell silent, staring straight at the person in front of him, and it took him a long time to say:

"Because the Duke likes you."

Jiang Shouyue was worried at first, for fear of being caught by this smart boy who had been a child since he was a child, but he was relieved when he said this suddenly.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've only known him for less than a month."

Jiang Shouyue only thought that Lu Xiuming was teasing him, but he didn't expect that when Lu Xiuming heard Jiang Shouyue's words, his eyes became puzzled, and he lowered his head and muttered to himself:

"It's strange, we've known each other for such a short time, could it be that the Duke left because of love at first sight..."

Jiang Shouyue really couldn't stand listening to her friend's nonsense this time, so she turned around and pulled him up, pushing him towards the door:

"Come on, you'd better go back and rest quickly."

Lu Xiuming, however, was not willing to just shut up like this. He just felt that Jiang Shouyue was shy and was struggling to stay here:

"Jiang Shouyue! How can you forget your friends? I have been friends with you for more than ten years, even if you are a duke, you can't..."

As the door was opened, Lu Xiuming's voice stopped abruptly, and the two of them froze in place when they saw the snow-white hair and smiling face of the person standing at the door.

The two sides were silent for a while.

In the end, it was Draper's smiling words that broke the silence: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the long-haired Omega's slightly open collar and creased shirt at the door, and he raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Shouyue reacted faster than Lu Xiuming, and hurriedly let go of the hand holding Lu Xiuming. Lu Xiuming lost his support and staggered forward twice. Fortunately, Jiang Shouyue had quick eyes and quick hands, and took him back again. Tell the other party not to hit the wall straight.

"Master Duke, let you see a joke."

Jiang Shouyue suppressed his embarrassment and smiled slightly at the alpha at the door. He didn't know if Draper heard something he shouldn't have heard at the door.

"will not."

Draper was obviously more calm than Jiang Shouyue and the others, "I want to ask, did I disturb you?"

"No, it doesn't bother you at all."

With the help of Jiang Shouyue's strength, Lu Xiuming finally stood up straight, and laughed at Draper,

"It just so happens that I'm going back to my room, so I won't bother you, good night, good night."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiuming winked at Jiang Shouyue, and then walked outside.

"Then wish Master Lu a sweet dream."

Draper nodded, and then watched Lu Xiuming's embarrassed figure gradually disappear into the corridor.

As soon as Lu Xiuming left, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became subtle.

Jiang Shouyue didn't dare to look at the person in front of her, so she could only slightly nod her head:

"What is the Duke looking for me for?"

"I'm here to bring Young Master Jiang a glass of milk to soothe the nerves."

As soon as Draper's words were spoken, Jiang Shouyue knew what the glass of milk in the other party's hand was for.

"……Thank you."

Jiang Shouyue thanked him.

Draper smiled and handed him the small cup of milk, with a gentle and gentle tone: "It's still warm, Master Jiang, drink it quickly."

Jiang Shouyue took the glass of milk, and really felt the warmth with her fingertips.

Seeing Draper's eyes keep falling on him, Jiang Shouyue hesitated for a moment, picked up the glass and drank the milk in it.

The quality of the milk is very good, and the milk taste is very rich, which is the ultimate comfort to the taste buds and nerves.

"Master Jiang doesn't need to drink so fast."

Draper took the empty glass with a very cheerful tone,

"I'm not that scary either."

The other party was telling the truth. Draper looked about [-] or so. He was wearing a set of gray home clothes and his hair was down. He really didn't look as aggressive as usual. His blue eyes were a little bit Low-key, peaceful and docile.

"Feel sorry."

Jiang Shouyue apologized to the Duke again.

"Master Jiang has to change his habit of apologizing when there is nothing to do."

Draper squinted his eyes slightly, as if recalling something, "Sometimes being too polite is not a good thing."

Ok?

Jiang Shouyue didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Draper's words. He vaguely felt that the other party's happy mood seemed to dissipate because of his apology.

"Okay, I will."

"it is good."

Draper reached out and touched Jiang Shouyue's head, and added, "To me, Young Master Jiang will never need to say this."

Jiang Shouyue's pupils widened suddenly.

For some reason, the figure in front of him gradually blurred, and then there was the sound of pattering rain all around.

Kneeling in the ancestral hall when he was young, he was beaten by his father with a bamboo board until his whole body convulsed with pain. His tears were all dried up, but he kept repeating those few words in his mouth.

"sorry."

"Sorry, I won't do this again."

"Please, I'm sorry..."

……

"I'm sorry to trouble you..."

The man hugged him, who was still trembling, in his arms. In the dark lounge, apart from Omega's intermittent crying, there was also the man's gentle and comforting voice:

"You don't need to apologize to me, never will."
