Chapter 1179
“Alright, let’s not mention him.” Louis changed the subject and gave Leng Qianxue a piece of osmanthus lotus root, “Qianxue, you try this again.”
“You still know how to cook this?”
Leng Qianxue was surprised, few people knew that she liked to eat this.
“I asked Yue Yue what Mummy liked to eat, she said she liked this, so I went to learn.” Louis smiled and looked at Leng Qianxue ……
“You don’t know, it’s hard to get good lotus roots and cinnamon in Paris, I had them shipped over from Sotheby’s, and after learning many times, I can finally get my hands on them.”
Leng Qianxue tasted a piece and nodded her head repeatedly, “Mmm, it’s delicious.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Louis was very happy, “I just want you to like wine balls, and I’ve been learning …… recently”
“Thank you, Louis.” Leng Qianxue was a little touched.
“We are getting married, it’s only right that I do this for you.” Louis looked at her tenderly, “As long as you’re happy, I’m happy.”
Leng Qianxue lowered her eyes and did not speak.
“Qianxue, don’t move.”
Louis noticed that there was a stain on Leng Qianxue’s face, so he took a wet wipe and wiped it for her.
Leng Qianxue paused in her movements and sat quietly.
Under the light, the side of her face was beautiful and moving. Louis was a bit moved and could not help but move closer to her ……
Leng Qianxue reacted and subconsciously avoided it, but Louis’s lips still touched her cheek ……
Both of them froze.
Immediately afterwards, Leng Qianxue backed away like a lightning bolt.
Louis’ face instantly flushed to his ears, very nervous.
Leng Qianxue frowned slightly and moved to the side.
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
Louie was so nervous that he was incoherent, and then got up to leave.
Leng Qianxue looked at his flustered appearance and then at the sumptuous lunch on the table, with very mixed feelings ……
Outside, a waitress saw Duke Louis running out of Leng Qianxue’s room in a panic and hurriedly went back to her room to call the duchess to report the situation.
“How long has he been in there?” The duchess asked hurriedly.
“I was outside keeping track of the time, eleven minutes.” The chambermaid said.
“So soon?” The duchess was very surprised, “And, did he come out fully clothed?”
“Very neatly dressed.” The chambermaid said, “I see that the hair is not disordered either, but the face is flushed and looks very nervous ……”
Hearing these words, the Duchess was a little disappointed, “All right, you continue to keep an eye on it.”
“Yes.”
Hanging up the phone, the duchess let out a deep sigh, “I guess it didn’t work out.”
“But from what the maid said, it should have been close.” Demielle smiled, “It’s something, too.”
“What is a little closeness a gain when the two of them have been in contact for so long and are now on the verge of marriage?” The duchess said, “Besides, just a little closeness and the boy is blushing with nervousness, which means the two haven’t been very close at all.”
Demielle bowed her head, not daring to speak again.
“I don’t think that woman likes Louis at all, she just wants to use him.” The more the Duchess thought about it, the angrier she became, “Louis is stupid and wishful thinking!”
“Actually, I can see that too.” Demielle said cautiously, “Miss Leng is distant from her cousin, as if she is deliberately keeping her distance from him.”
“The two of them have been together for so long, even if they didn’t have any feelings at first, they should have cultivated them by now.” The duchess said unhappily, “If she really dislikes Louis that much, why did she agree to the marriage?”
“I have heard that Mr. L. seems to be in a crisis ……,” said Demiya in a soft voice.
“That seems to be the case.” The Duchess frowned, “Is it because L is in trouble so she’s finding a temporary haven? If that’s the case, then once L has resolved the crisis she’ll call off the wedding, so what can Louis do?”
“Not necessarily, the wedding is still over a month away, maybe in that time they’ve grown attached.” Demielle said soothingly.
“So I need to make this happen as soon as possible ……”
Chapter 1180
Leng Qianxue took a nap and when she woke up, it was raining outside, she called Leng Bing to ask, “Have the children returned?”
“Not yet, I just asked, the Duchess took them over to the vineyard for lunch, they had quite a good time, Leng Mo and Brother Steel are following, don’t worry about safety.” Leng Bing reported.
“It’s time for Dabao to come back for his internet lesson.” Leng Qianxue looked at her watch, “It’s almost time for San Bao to have his treatment too.”
“Yes, I’ll go ask.” Leng Bing was about to make a call when the sound of a car came from outside, she went to the balcony to look around and turned back to report, “Chen Chen and Yue Yue are back.”
“I’ll go and see them.”
Leng Qianxue changed her clothes and walked out of the room just as Chen Chen came upstairs, “Mummy!”
“Dabao, did you have fun?” Leng Qianxue bent down and stroked his little head.
“Pretty good, learned to ride a horse.” Chen Chen was very accomplished, “Uncle Steel has taught me, next time I see Erbao, I’ll show him off, so he won’t keep calling me a nerd.”
“Haha ……” Leng Qianxue laughed, “You see, there are some things you’re not good at, but you can actually break through if you try, right?”
“Mm, right.” Chen Chen nodded, “I’ll try more in the future, mummy.”
“That’s right.” Leng Qianxue was relieved, “Mummy isn’t trying to get you to learn much, she just wants you to master more survival skills and get more exercise.”
“I know.” Chen Chen gave Leng Qianxue a hug, “Mommy, I’m going back to my room to go to my internet cla*s, San Bao is downstairs for treatment, you go keep her company.”
“Okay.” Leng Qianxue watched Chen Chen leave and then went downstairs.
At that moment, an attendant hurriedly came to report, “Miss Leng, a little princess has disappeared.”
“What?” Leng Qianxue was shocked, “What’s going on?”
“It is said that the Duchess and the three children were playing hide-and-seek in the vineyard, but one by one suddenly disappeared, now the Duchess is in a panic and is leading people everywhere to look ……”
“Go there immediately.” Leng Qianxue immediately changed her shoes and rushed to the vineyard.
“Qianxue wait for me.” At this time, Louis, who had received the news, also hurriedly ran down from upstairs, “I’ll go with you to look.”
“Good.”
Leng Qianxue turned back to Leng Bing and said, “You stay and take care of Dabao Sanbao.”
“Yes.”
……
When Leng Qianxue and Louis arrived at the vineyard, the Duchess was still leading people around to look for Yi Yi.
When she saw Leng Qianxue coming, the duchess hurriedly apologised, “Qianxue, I’m really sorry, I was thinking of accompanying the children to play, but I didn’t expect to …… turn around in a flash.”
“You can’t be blamed for that either.” Leng Qianxue twisted her head to look at Leng Mo, “What happened?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Leng ……,” Leng Mo wanted to say something, but didn’t make excuses for himself, “Our people are still looking, we will definitely find the children.”
“Where are Er Er and Zero Zero?” Leng Qianxue asked.
“Resting at the winery, Xiao Cui and a few of them are watching.” Leng said apologetically, “Brother Steel got the news early in the morning and went out on patrol.”
“You few can’t keep an eye on the children without him being there?” Leng Qianxue snapped angrily, “Go and find it right away, if anything happens to the child, I’ll be the one to ask for you.”
“Yes.”
Leng Mo immediately led the men to find Yi Yi.
“May I ask who was the last person to see Yi Yi?” Leng Qianxue turned back to inquire.
“It was me.” Demielle immediately came out and said, “Madam and I were playing hide-and-seek with the three little princesses, and I watched Yi Yi turn her back on us and count before I closed my eyes, I didn’t expect ……”
“Where is it? Take me there.”
“This way ……”
Demielle led Leng Qianxue to the vineyard, with Louis following close behind.
It was beautiful, the vines were covered with grapes, but Leng Qianxue had no time to admire it, bending over the vineyard to look for the child: “One by one, one by one come out, the game of hide-and-seek is over, we should go home.”
