Lu Li was dumbfounded after hearing what Mark Hughes said.
"Ah...? You want to grant a marriage to Miss Leia and me? This...isn't appropriate!"
Even if Lu Li was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Mark Hughes would say such a thing.
He just said a few words casually just to piss off Alvin, but he didn't expect Mark Hughes to actually take it seriously.
"Your Majesty the King... you must not do this!"
Alwin quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of Mark Hughes.
For Elwin, his marriage to Leah is his only chance to make a comeback.
No matter what, he can't give up!
"I'm talking to Mr. Steve, what do you want?"
Mark Hughes said coldly.
Alwin was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Come here! Take Prince Elwin down to me! Let him go to the dark room to reflect and reflect!"
"No one is allowed to let him out without my permission!"
Mark Hughes gave the order, and the soldiers rushed forward, holding Alwin and leaving.
"No—! Leah is mine! You can't ruin my marriage!"
Alwin shouted hysterically.
At this moment, a female voice came from behind.
"Your Majesty the King! Please let my brother go!"
Lu Li always felt that he had heard this voice somewhere before.
When he turned around, he saw an acquaintance.
The girl who pleads for Elwin is none other than Aili, whom Lu Li had a crush on at the Royal City Elite Academy!
"Elli...Elwin..."
Good guy, these two are actually a brother and sister!
The world is so small!
"Ai Li, your brother was at fault for what happened today. If I don't give him some punishment, I'm afraid my friends will have objections!"
When Mark Hughes saw Ai Li, his tone became much gentler.
Although Aili and Elwin are biological siblings, compared to the rebellious Elwin, the well-behaved and sensible Aili is much more lovable.
"Ai Li! Don't plead for me! I can handle this little thing myself!"
Alwin shouted when he saw his sister begging for mercy for him.
Ai Li ignored her brother at all and was still pleading with Mark Hughes.
Hearing Ellie's plea, Mark Hughes felt a little soft-hearted.
"Let's do this. I can be a bit liberal and let your brother go, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
Aili asked quickly.
"You can ask my friend. As long as he nods in agreement, I can spare Alwin."
Mark Hughes pointed at Lu Li beside him and said.
Only then did Aili notice someone beside her.
She was just about to apologize when she saw Lu Li's familiar face.
"Why is it you?!"
Ai Li exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss Aili, long time no see!"
Lu Li smiled at Ai Li.
"What? Is it possible that you two still know each other?"
Mark Hughes was also stunned.
"Your Majesty the King, it's like this. Steve and I used to be classmates in the academy and we have some friendship."
Aili explained.
"Such a coincidence, then it seems that you two are really destined!"
"It was just a one-time relationship before, there is no such thing as fate!"
Lu Li heard that Mark Hughes had something to say, so he quickly interrupted him.
"Steve, if my brother has offended you in any way before, I am here to apologize to you. I hope you can ignore your past grudges and let him go!"
Ai Li bowed first, and then said very seriously.
Now, Lu Li was in a bit of a dilemma.
The feud between him and Elwin cannot be settled in just two sentences.
Seeing that Lu Li didn't speak, Ai Li was a little anxious.
"Please! As long as you nod, I can do whatever you want!"
When Ai Li said this, her body unconsciously moved closer to Lu Li.
Smelling Ai Li's fragrance, Lu Li almost couldn't hold himself back.
He took two steps back.
"Miss Ai Li, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. Your brother brought it upon himself. Even if we knew each other, I can't forgive him."
"You'd better give up on this idea!"
Lu Li said seriously.
After hearing Lu Li's words, Ai Li's face turned ashen.
Mark Hughes waved his hands to the soldiers, and Alwin was taken away directly.
"Ai Li..."
Lu Li wanted to say something more, but didn't know how to say it.
Ai Li didn't say anything, turned around and left the scene.
As soon as she took a few steps out, she bumped into another person.
"Sister Aili! Where are you going!"
"Hey, hey, sister Aili, don't leave..."
"Father! What happened to sister Aili?"
A little boy hurried up to Mark Hughes and asked.
When Lu Li heard this voice, he was stunned again.
Isn't this my little brother, Mars?
Although I knew Mars' identity as a prince, I was still a little surprised to see him here.
"Mars, why did you run out? I told you to stay in the house!"
Mark Hughes said with some displeasure.
"The room was really boring, so I..."
Mars felt a little guilty and dared not look directly into Mark Hughes's eyes.
"Mars, you are doing well in the palace!"
Lu Li said jokingly.
Mars looked back and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Eh? Brother! Why are you here? Are you here to visit me!"
"Wait a minute...Mars, what did you call him?"
Mark Hughes's expression became very strange.
"Big brother! Steve is my big brother! He is awesome!"
Mars said.
"Steve, it's a good thing that you and my son can play together, but you guys can't mess around!"
"We are friends, but you and my son are brothers, so aren't you a generation below me?"
Mark Hughes suppressed a smile and analyzed it for Lu Li.
After Lu Li heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Yes! How could I have forgotten this!"
"Mars, you are not allowed to call me big brother anymore!"
Lu Li quickly corrected Mars, he didn't want to become Mark Hughes' son.
"Ah? If you don't call me big brother, what should I call you?"
Mars asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"Hmm... let me think about it..."
"How about I accept you as my apprentice and you call me master from now on?"
Lu Li thought for a while and said.
"Hello, master!"
As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, Mars called him directly.
When Mark Hughes saw this scene, he smiled and rubbed Mars' head.
Mars is no longer young, but he has always been playful and unwilling to learn.
He was originally thinking of finding a teacher for his son.
Just in time, Steve showed up and was so familiar with his son.
This job can just be handed over to Steve, and Mark Hughes is relieved.
The first time he went to Lu Li's villa, he started to pay attention to Lu Li.
Afterwards, everything that happened in the auction hall made him even more certain of one thing.
