"Your Excellency Chen Rui," Christina said calmly: "I have been entrusted by someone to convey a few words to you alone. Is it convenient?"
Before Chen Rui could speak, he felt his arm being pinched hard, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "What if I say it's inconvenient?"
Christina was silent for a moment: "Well, I was the one who was abrupt. Please forgive me for disturbing you. I'll take my leave."
"Wait a minute." It was Isabella who spoke. When Christina was saying goodbye just now, she keenly felt the man's emotional fluctuations, even though the fluctuations were quickly hidden. My aunt is a smart person.
Women know when to be unreasonable and when to be reasonable.
"It looks like there is something important. Chen Rui, just go and listen. Don't let a lady travel thousands of miles in vain." My aunt smiled softly: "But, Miss Christina... Exit
When asking for help, you should be more polite and low-key. No man would dare to want a woman who is too self-righteous."
Chen Rui was a little ashamed. Her aunt was standing and talking without pain in her back. Mrs. Mandala back then was much more arrogant and proud than Christina is now.
"Thank you for your suggestion." Christina still had a calm expression and tone, clearly still ignoring it.
The aunt snorted coldly, pinched Chen Rui secretly, and came to Delia. Without even looking at Christina, she took her nephew-in-law's hand and turned away.
"There is really no shortage of women around Mr. Chen Rui, and they are very good women." Christina looked at Isabella's back and said calmly. She seemed to have the upper hand just now, but she didn't know it in her heart.
He was consciously competing with the other party. Objectively speaking, it was a tie. Isabella also knew this.
Chen Rui laughed sarcastically, and Christina slowly walked forward: "I was only halfway through my shopping trip, can I continue now? I'm usually very busy, and I don't even remember the last time I really went shopping."
"Oh." Chen Rui didn't know what Christina's real intention was, so he could only respond vaguely using Laura's moves.
Next...it's really shopping, pure shopping.
"What is this? It's beautiful." Christina picked up something on the stall.
"The good luck knot is said to bring special luck." Chen Rui did not give the vendor a chance to sell it, and explained directly: "Actually, it is made of a special plant meridians and has no practical value... Um, fifteen
A white crystal coin, fixed price, do you want to sell it?"
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the hawker. It was obvious that Christina liked this exquisite gadget very much. After some haggling, the deal was settled for eighteen white crystal coins. Christina watched Chen Rui's bargaining with interest.
Then he happily accepted the gift.
After this episode, the originally stalemate atmosphere seemed to relax a lot. Chen Rui took Christina to taste Dark Moon's snacks, bought a few small gifts, and walked to the Red Fruit Hotel.
The Hongguo Hotel is one of the largest hotels in Dark Moon. It is relatively high-end. Chen Rui followed Christina into the VIP Room 1. It was actually a suite with a living room and a bedroom, as well as "high-end facilities" such as a magic TV.
This made Chen Rui think of the word "open a room" inexplicably, and his heartbeat suddenly became a little faster.
"I haven't relaxed like this for a long time. It feels good." Christina motioned for him to sit down: "Thank you and your little gift."
"You're welcome, Miss."
Christina's tone changed: "Then, let's get down to business."
Chen Rui's mind was racing and he responded: "Yes."
Christina said calmly: "I want to know if everything can change as long as there are enough chips?"
This question made Chen Rui guess a little bit about her intention: "There are no absolutes in this world, but it also depends on what is 'changed'."
"So, you should understand what I mean. Can you give me a definite answer? The chips are not the problem."
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and gave the answer: "Some things cannot be put on the trading scale, and naturally cannot be measured by chips."
Christina was silent for a while, then slowly took off her veil: "I will only ask you once, can I be the reason to change you?"
Chen Rui was shocked when he saw that beautiful face that he had not seen for a long time: "Miss, you..."
"I have been so honest with you," Christina sighed, "Don't use any more disguises. Maybe you can deceive the entire demon world, but you can't hide it from a woman's intuition, not to mention that you are not without flaws.
, this is exactly the reason why I came to Dark Moon in person this time."
There was a bang in Chen Rui's mind, and he was suddenly confused. Three words came to his mind: he was betrayed.
He had imagined many times that one day he would appear in front of Catherine, and in her unexpected eyes, he would declare domineeringly, "You are mine." However, the reality was the other way around. Her Majesty the Queen came to him.
In front of him, he asked domineeringly: "Are you willing to be mine?"
Katherine came dressed up in person, so she must have revealed the identity of "Chen Rui" long ago. Even if Agulie hadn't been exposed yet, she could at least equate the human being with the master toolmaker who was proficient in the three lines.
Chen Rui showed a wry smile: "Kathleen, I..."
The most beautiful woman, the most wise man, and the most powerful queen in the demon world looked at him quietly, with expectation flowing in her quiet and beautiful black eyes: "Can you give me the answer?"
Not an order, not a requirement, just an expectation, a woman's expectation of a man.
It was the first time that Chen Rui saw Kathleen's expression like this. His heart felt hot and he almost blurted out the words "I promise". After taking a deep breath, he finally calmed down.
"I'm surprised that you would come up with such a bargaining chip. Yes, it's a bargaining chip." Chen Rui stared intensely into Kathleen's eyes, "Why did you make such a change? Or should I say it was a sacrifice?"
When Kathleen heard that her conditions were classified as "chips", she suddenly felt a little annoyed in her heart. Her tone was still very calm: "Do you want to hear my words of praise when you ask questions knowingly? That's fine. From Dark Moon Pull
From the fall of Obsidian to Shia's lightning ascension to the throne, and then turning our country's intimidation into cooperation, until today's terrifying speed of development and growth, you should know how much effort you have made in this, newspapers, magic TV, princess series, rice wine
, concert... these things were all planned by you. If this continues, within ten years, the Fallen Angel Empire will become the most terrifying empire in the demon world. The threat you bring is too great."
"Is this the reason? Our Queen is willing to sacrifice herself?" Chen Rui suddenly felt angry, and he did not hide his anger.
Seeing Chen Rui's anger, Katherine felt inexplicably better. She shook her head slightly: "Not only that, but also because... the stability of the empire requires a husband, and even more, an heir to the throne."
"Really?" Chen Rui sneered: "Even if it's marriage and body, it's all for the empire? She is really a respectable Queen."
"From the moment I put on the crown, many things were destined. The emperor not only has supreme power, but also the highest responsibility." Kathleen looked directly at Chen Rui, "You may not have this point.
Deep understanding, but your Queen Shia must have a real understanding. I don’t know what the relationship between her and Agulie is, and I don’t know what the relationship between you and Agulie is. One thing I can be sure of is that even if
He is her marriage partner, and the range of choices is also very small. Her choice of Agulie should be the best choice within the range, or in other words, she paid a considerable extra price for it. So, I came to Dark Moon today.
, do you understand?”
Chen Rui asked: "I'm just a human being, is it worth it?"
"Your value far exceeds the definition of race. Even if you don't have the art of making tools, no black potion, and no special abilities, your talent is still the best in the world. With your help, I believe that the Shadow Empire will produce qualitative results."
Leap, and even unify the demon world. For the benefit of the empire, I think it's worth it, and... I don't hate you."
A vein appeared on Chen Rui's forehead: Wouldn't you just throw away the interests of the empire and just leave the last sentence, just say you like it?
Kathleen seemed to have seen through his mind: "I don't want to hide it. If it weren't for the empire, Kathleen Asmode would not come to you like this. If you agree, you can become my only royal husband; if you can
Instigate a rebellion against the Dark Moon Territory, then Athena will become the first general of the Shadow Empire, and I don’t even mind her or other women’s existence.”
If anyone heard Kathleen's words nearby, they would be confused and think that their auditory system was shut down. Her Majesty, the most beautiful woman in the demon world, the most wise man, and the Queen of the Shadow Empire, would actually say such a thing to a human being.
Come on the conditions!
"What an attractive offer, I thought of a certain newsletter advertisement. As long as you add a few dozen yuan, you can get some kind of preferential package." Chen Rui smiled, "I admit, I really want to get you, very much.
.I know that you have a place for me in your heart, and it is useless for you to deny it, because we have experienced the battle in Crystal Valley together, and I still remember that wonderful kiss."
Seeing Chen Rui's recollection, Kathleen's calmness and calmness finally began to waver, and she had the urge to punch him, but she also admitted in her heart that from the moment this man was willing to destroy his heart for her, she
His shadow has been indelibly imprinted on her heart. She once thought he was going to die, so she expressed her feelings without any concealment. Little did she know that this bastard was a liar and actually faked his death and ran away after deceiving her into kissing him.
If your obsession is to protect everyone, then my current obsession is just to protect you.
This sentence appeared in her dream more than once. Apart from the empire, he was indeed the only man her heart had ever been moved by.
Katherine tried her best to control her emotional fluctuations and said coldly: "So, you refused? Do you think I will leave such a huge threat to the empire?" (To be continued
