keep the moon

"Master, the Duke's car has been parked downstairs."

Under Uncle Wen's urging again and again, Jiang Shouyue finally put down the things at hand.

"Okay, here I come."

After Jiang Shouyue clicked on the scheduled sending of her suicide note, she stood up, put on a coat, and left the room.

When they got downstairs, the guard Ruojiu respectfully opened the car door in front of Jiang Shouyue. Delepelle had obviously been waiting in the car for a while.

"I am so sorry to keep you waiting."

Jiang Shouyue got into the car with an apologetic face, but actually felt no guilt at all in her heart.

Draper's eyes flicked over Jiang Shouyue's neatly combed hair, and he immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he just retracted his gaze and said lightly:

"As long as it's Young Master Jiang, I can wait as long as I want."

Jiang Shouyue didn't answer, just sat upright on the leather cushion, lowered his head, stared at the blanket under his feet with his dark eyes, and remained silent.

He didn't want to talk to Leipel.

Fortunately, the other party was also very knowledgeable, so they didn't say anything more, and the two of them were very quiet along the way.

But in fact, if Jiang Shouyue lowered his head a little, he would be able to see the gaze of the person beside him wandering around the back of his neck intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing the obvious barrier sticker on the back of the omega's neck beside him, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and finally turned his head forcibly, not looking at him anymore.

……

The reason Draper came to pick up Jiang Shouyue was actually to bring him to dinner.

According to Draper, it was Jiang Shouyue who looked so thin and didn't take eating seriously.

However, the facts are not far from what Draper said. Jiang Shouyue is indeed a person who tends to forget to eat. As long as he is not very hungry, he usually does not think about something to eat.

Uncle Wen also thought of many ways to do this, but because of Jiang Shouyue's character, there was nothing to follow.

But right now, in front of Draper, Jiang Shouyue is more obedient than ever.

"Eat this."

With his left hand propped on the table, Draper picked up Jiang Shouyue's vegetables piece by piece with his right hand, and stopped when he was almost done, tilting his head to admire Jiang Shouyue's slow eating of the vegetables.

Jiang Shouyue couldn't refuse the Duke's hospitality, but he felt that it was more of the other party's bad taste.

When he finally finished eating everything on the plate, he was almost full. Unexpectedly, at this time, Draper asked someone to bring up a glass of apple and lemon juice, and handed it to Jiang Shouyue.

Jiang Shouyue frowned.

"Drink slowly, you don't have to finish it all."

There was a slight smile in Draper's voice, and his eyes were full of interest, "Master Jiang seems really good."

Because I have to endure until I get married and kill you.

The veins on Jiang Shouyue's forehead twitched slightly, and the hand holding the cup tightened a little, and his joints turned white from the exertion.

"Master Jiang's hair is really long, is it the Jiang family's ancestral training?"

Draper looked at Jiang Shouyue who was bound by a headband but still had a few strands of hair hanging down to her ears, as if asking casually.

"Yes, the men of the Jiang family need to grow their hair, while the women need to shave their hair. This is a rule from our ancestors."

Jiang Shouyue said while brushing those strands of hair behind her ears.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. I kind of want to see Young Master Jiang with short hair."

Jiang Shouyue's hands stroking her hair paused at Draper's words, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Jiang Shouyue thought of her childhood.

At that time, he also had this idea, and even cut his hair a lot shorter on impulse. Unexpectedly, after his father found out, he would face the punishment of being locked up in Jiang's compound for half a year and not allowed to go out.

He still remembered what his father said to him after he got angry that day. He said:

"Rules are rules, and no one can violate them without authorization."

From then on, Jiang Shouyue didn't do anything on his own initiative until the matter of the imperial edict.

"But rules are rules, my lord duke."

Jiang Shouyue returned to Draper with the same rhetoric his father had told him.

But Draper just shook his head helplessly after hearing this, as if he only thought it was a joke:

"Master Jiang, that's not what your eyes said when you said that."

"Then what did the Duke say when he saw my eyes?"

Jiang Shouyue asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished asking, he saw the person in front of him standing up, walked up to him in a few steps, put his hand against his chin, and looked straight at him with intoxicating clear blue eyes, as if Really watch his eyes.

"Master Jiang said that the rules are the rules, but in these beautiful eyes, why do I see a lot of unwillingness?"

Draper slowly released Jiang Shouyue's jaw, took a handkerchief from his breast pocket, and joked while wiping Jiang Shouyue's mouth carefully.

Jiang Shouyue felt the control of the other party's strength when wiping, and her expression was a little unnatural. Although Draper looked very gentle on weekdays, in essence, the other party was a strong alpha. Jiang Shouyue could guess the other party's strength without trying. How terrifying is his strength, so every time Draper touches him, he is more or less uncomfortable.

"My lord duke is wrong."

Waiting patiently for Draper to finish wiping his mouth and remove his hand, Jiang Shouyue reluctantly replied.

Draper smiled indulgently after listening, obviously not taking what Jiang Shouyue said seriously.

"Is Young Master Jiang really ready to marry me?"

Before Jiang Shouyue could figure out how to end the meal, Draper spoke again.

As a result, Jiang Shouyue stopped asking this question.

Why did Draper ask that?Are you suspicious of him?

Jiang Shouyue lowered her head, not daring to look at the other person's face.

This question for Draper is also a question he should be asking himself.

Is he really ready to marry Draper?

Jiang Shouyue looked at the crystal cup in his hand that was shining under the light, and his slightly haggard face was faintly visible on it.

Obviously marrying Draper and then killing him is something he has already decided, but why is he hesitant when Draper asks him like this now?

"I……"

Jiang Shouyue was silent for a while, forcing himself to open his mouth to answer, but he stumbled, unable to say the words.

What are you hesitating about?Jiang Shouyue.

Jiang Shouyue lowered her head, and tightly clenched her hand that wasn't holding the cup. The nails were deeply embedded in the flesh. The pain stimulated him little by little, but he still couldn't speak.

When Jiang Shouyue was burning with anxiety, a broad and powerful hand touched his head, rubbing it lightly, as if comforting him.

"Forget it, don't answer."

Draper's words were neutral, "Anyway, it's too late for you to regret it now."

"Ok?"

Jiang Shouyue suddenly raised her head and looked at the other party, but the other party took her hand back the next moment, her tone was cold and tough:

"Master Jiang and I will register for marriage tomorrow."

Jiang Shouyue didn't even react to Draper's words, but before he could ask another question, Draper had turned around and left.

Sitting there, Jiang Shouyue wondered if he felt wrong. He seemed to feel the vague anger and dissatisfaction in Draper just now.

Duke angry?Because of his hesitation?

Jiang Shouyue immediately became upset. He didn't expect that he would make such a low-level mistake. Obviously, as long as he simply opened his mouth to flatter the other party, the current situation would not be the same.

Jiang Shouyue, you're about to die, you still can't let go of your cheap pride, can you?

Just as he was thinking, the guard on the side stepped forward and said respectfully beside him:

"Master Jiang, my master ordered me to send you back."

Jiang Shouyue was forced to temporarily put aside her irritability, stood up and nodded politely:

"Then trouble you."

When Jiang Shouyue was sent back to her apartment, she first took a shower, then sat in the living room, thought about it, and unexpectedly made a phone call.

The call was connected quickly, only to hear an ear-piercing voice on the other end of the phone:

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Christine, it's me."

Jiang Shouyue called out the other party's name softly.

Hearing Jiang Shouyue's words, the other party was a little surprised:

"Master Jiang? What's the matter?"

Hearing Christine's voice, Jiang Shouyue suddenly regretted it.

After all, Christine is also from the royal family. Besides, he doesn't even know what he is bothering about, so what can Christine do to help him?

"No...forget it, Christine, excuse me."

Jiang Shouyue was about to hang up, but was stopped by Christine:

"Master Jiang, where are you now? Do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Holding the communicator, Jiang Shouyue hesitated for a moment, then recalled the scene of Christine's self-exploitation that day, and finally agreed: "Okay."

Christine was obviously very happy. From the communicator, she could hear the sound of packing up, and even a strange male voice:

"Where are you going so happy?"

Christine didn't hide it either, her voice was disdainful:

"Go out with my friends, eat something yourself at night, and don't do business all day long."

The male voice was not annoyed, instead he said with a low smile:

"I just want to eat you all day long..."

With a snap, the phone was hung up abruptly.

Jiang Shouyue looked at the communicator and blinked, obviously not responding. The next moment, I saw Christine sent a message:

[Master Jiang, I'm sorry, let's go to xx Street for a drink, how about it? ]

Jiang Shouyue replied "OK" without hesitation, then reported to Uncle Wen, and went out by herself.
