The lunch was wonderful, but Mingxi had no appetite, and she felt very confused. Like a child who had done something wrong, she felt guilty, self-blame, and uneasy...
Romantic light music echoed in the luxurious restaurant, accompanied by talk and laughter from time to time. With Xia Xue here, the atmosphere would never be dull.
She and Mo Liuli had already discussed from Western food to Chinese food, and then from Chinese food to street food. Xia Xue's energy was really good, she was always in high spirits, lively and smiling.
"Mingxi, Mingxi..." Xia Xue shouted three times before Mingxi came back to her senses and looked up at her, "Ah? What?"
"What are you thinking about? I've called you several times." Xia Xue pouted, a little dissatisfied, "I asked you if you like Thai food. Let's go eat together some other day. I know there is a restaurant on North Street...
…”
"I don't like it." Ming Xi put down her knife and fork and looked at Xia Shihao with a smile, "Grandpa, can we go back early?"
"Why?" Xia Shihao asked while eating foie gras.
"I want to go back early..." Ming Xi lowered her eyes, and she could feel the indifferent but cold eyes of the king.
"Don't you like it here?" The king took a sip of ice wine and asked calmly.
"not me……"
"Do you miss Brother Feng?" Xia Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at her pointedly, "Don't think too much when you go out to play. He is not a good person..."
Almost spilling the beans, Xia Xue stole a glance at Mo Liuli. She knew that Mo Liuli had always loved Xia Feng very much. Although he was not her biological child, she treated him as if he was gone. When she was a child, Xia Feng did something wrong and was punished by Xia Zihan.
, Mo Liuli would come to his rescue every time, for fear that he would suffer a little.
"Xi'er, haven't you and A Feng talked on the phone today?" Mo Liuli ignored Xia Xue's words. She knew that Xia Xue always spoke freely, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
"No." Ming Xi glanced at the king quietly and found that he was still eating seriously without raising his eyelids.
Isn't he angry? Doesn't he mind my relationship with Brother Feng? Did he just kiss me on a whim just now? Mingxi was ready to look away in disappointment, and her mood became more complicated.
"Ah Feng went out drinking last night and came back very late. I can see that he is in a bad mood. I don't know what he did wrong to make you unhappy, but I believe he didn't mean it. Ah Feng is
I really love you." Mo Liuli said in a deep voice, "It's normal for lovers to have conflicts. The important thing is to communicate more. You two are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship since childhood. I believe that there will be no setbacks.
Yours."
Hearing these words, a faint and strange smile appeared on the king's lips. It seems that you really love this son.
"Godmother, in your heart, Brother Feng is perfect and has no shortcomings." Xia Xue said with a joking smile.
"Haha, he is not without shortcomings. He is competitive, has strong self-esteem, and is relatively sensitive. That is caused by his sad childhood shadow. You can't blame him." Mo Liuli's tone was a little sad. When Xia Feng was four years old,
, a finger was amputated by a gangster, and he almost died due to excessive blood loss. Until now, the finger has not been reattached, and he can only wear a finger cot.
"It turns out that Mr. Feng also had childhood shadows when he was a child. It's really surprising." The king suddenly raised his eyes and gave Mo Liuli a deep look. The strange smile on his lips became a little thicker. When it comes to childhood shadows, there is probably no one in this world who can compare to him.
I am more, you feel so sorry for him, have you ever thought about me? In your heart, he is so perfect, what about me? Am I a shame to you?
"Haha, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, for discussing family matters in front of you." Mo Liuli said apologetically.
"I'm just an outsider, and I'm really not suitable to listen to your... family matters." Your Majesty smiled at Mo Liuli and drank the ice wine in the glass in one gulp.
"That's not what I meant. In fact, our whole family likes you very much and we get along well with you. I don't treat you as an outsider." Mo Liuli felt a little uneasy and quickly explained.
"I don't have any other ideas, Mrs. Xia doesn't have to worry about it," the king said calmly.
"You seldom smile, but you look even more handsome when you smile." Xia Xue looked at the King infatuatedly.
Xia Shihao had been eating and looking at the king's eyes calmly.
Ming Xi stared at the king. Although he was smiling, she knew that he was unhappy. Although his eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, which was a kind of mist that isolated emotions, it could not escape her eyes.
"Ding ding ding..." Ming Xi's cell phone rang suddenly. She took out the phone and saw that it was Xia Feng. Her heartbeat could not help but quicken. She got up and took the phone to the side to answer it.
"Hey, Brother Feng. Yes, I went to sea with Xue'er. Yes, with him. What? Why not? Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you. Goodbye."
These few words were spoken so quietly that others could not hear them, but the king could hear them clearly. During the devilish training he received when he was a child, he had developed a hearing that was different from ordinary people.
"It's Ah Feng calling? Why don't you chat more?" Mo Liuli asked when he saw Ming Xi quickly return to her seat.
"There's nothing to say." Ming Xi smiled forcefully, and inadvertently saw the cold eyes of the king, and was startled in her heart.
"Ding ding ding..." The phone rang again, and Ming Xi was just about to leave her seat to answer the call, but the king stood up first, wiped the corner with a napkin, and said politely: "Please use it slowly."
Then turned and left.
Ming Xi looked at his back and knew that he must be unhappy. Could it be because of me? She couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart. It turned out that he cared.
"King, Long Hao's people are ready to take action." As soon as the king stepped onto the deck, his subordinates reported in a low voice.
"It's finally here." The king smiled indifferently, "Do you know what to do?"
"I know." The men in black retreated. The entire cruise ship was still parked at the berth with no intention of turning around. The men in black were still standing at their original posts and did not take any action.
"Are you unhappy?" Ming Xi's deep voice came from behind, and the king was startled. No one has ever seen my emotions before, and she was the first one.
"Why do you think I'm unhappy?" His lips brushed ambiguously against the shell of her ear and he whispered into her ear.
"I don't know, it's just a feeling." Ming Xi took a step back nervously.
"Do you have feelings for me?" He suddenly put his arms around her waist, held her in his arms, lifted her chin, and pecked her red lips, "Really?"
"Don't be like this, let me go." Ming Xi was very nervous and pushed him hard. It would be terrible if Xia Xue and her godmother saw her.
"Anyway, the engagement has been cancelled. Just break up with him and be with me openly, so you don't have to worry anymore." He whispered in her ear and suddenly bit her lip hard...
"Bang!" Before Mingxi could struggle, she heard a burst of violent gunshots. A bodyguard in black was shot and fell. Mingxi opened her eyes in shock and saw a heavily armed man in white aiming a gun at the king.
