Annie didn’t want to bump into Ye Sijue because she didn’t know how to face him, so she didn’t want to go in for the time being.
So she came up with a very dumb lie.
“I want to gaze at the moon.”
Chris couldn’t help but laugh. Pointing his finger at the dark night sky, he said, “Dear, take a look yourself.”
Annie looked up uncomprehendingly and found that there was a large black cloud floating across the night sky that covered the moon. Even the stars could hardly be seen.
She couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay then, I can’t see the moon. What should I do then?”
Chris pointed to himself and laughed, “If you don’t mind, there is a handsome guy right here for you to admire.”
Annie was tickled into laughter as she shoved him with her little hand.
“You? I can see you every day. There’s nothing new.”
Chris waggled his eyebrows. “When you were in China, you didn’t get to see me, right? Didn’t you miss me?”
Annie rubbed her chin, her little face looking as if she were seriously thinking about it. Then she suddenly said, “Oh yeah. I really didn’t miss you!”
“What did you say? You really didn’t think about me? I’m really sad. Fancy that I thought about you everyday. I was also worried that you might be bullied in China and that you might not be used to the food there. But you, wow. You’re heartless. You didn’t even miss me.”
Chris looked bitter.
Annie coughed. Then she changed her tune and said. “Actually, I did miss you a little.”
“Only a little?” Chris was still not satisfied.
“Well… a little more?” Annie gestured with her fingers.
Chris said, “I want more, this much.”
“You’re greedy!”
“I’m not asking you to think about me all the time, so it’s not greedy.”
The two chatted happily in the courtyard, and time flew.
Just then, Chris’s cell phone rang.
He answered it. He nodded and said, “We’re in the courtyard. Okay, we’ll go over now.”
After hanging up the phone, he said to Annie, “Let’s go in. Boole is looking for us.”
Boole was the son of Duke Berg, and a good friend of Chris’s.
He held Annie’s hand as they entered the ballroom.
She carefully looked around and didn’t see Ye Sijue anywhere. She thought that he might have left, so she was relieved but felt a little melancholic.
When she saw Boole, Boole got up. He smiled as he walked up to her and kissed her hand.
“Princess Annie, you look even more beautiful now. Wow, I’m really jealous of Chris.”
Chris laughed playfully, “I accept your jealousy.”
He pulled out a chair and let Annie sit down.
Annie smiled at them. She kept quiet while listening to their playful banter.
Chris waved to a helper to bring some desserts and juices that she liked.
After the jokes, Boole said to Chris in a serious manner, “I have a friend to introduce to you, the one I mentioned to you before. He just happened to be in America, so I invited him to the party. ”
Annie was a little hungry. She lowered her head to eat tiramisu.
Just then, a black shadow stopped at the table.
A scorching gaze fell on her, but she was oblivious to it.
