Chapter 36

Inside the banquet hall, a group of well-dressed men and women were gathering in groups of three or five, whispering.

"Miss Lu is really lucky. She was able to find this back."

"So, her wedding with His Highness Heffield will go on as usual?"

"Ah? Are you really going to marry her? Didn't she inherit any of the Lu family's supernatural powers?"

The huge door of the banquet hall was pushed open. At this moment, the air in the hall became hot because of Lu Zhizhi's appearance, and all the whispers stopped abruptly the moment she walked in.

Lu Zhizhi was wearing a dress that the head maid had matched for her. It was a slim-fitting long dress that dragged on the ground. The entire skirt was a gradient blue color and was inlaid with tiny diamonds hand-made. From a distance, it looked like she was wearing the Milky Way night sky on her body.

The cut of the skirt fits the curve of her body perfectly. It is a halterneck and backless style. Lu Zhizhi has a very thin back, beautiful butterfly bones like angel wings, and a slender waist. Her every move can be described in four words: delicate and soft.

Lu Yuan was surrounded by a group of people chatting with him. When he saw Lu Zhizhi's skirt, he frowned slightly.

Hefel was originally hugging a noble lady. He saw Lu Zhizhi walk in from the corner of his eye. His eyes slid in her direction and then froze.

The hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly with excitement, but he kept restraining the urge to move forward.

The men standing opposite Hefel also noticed Lu Zhizhi, their eyes were burning. Some even straightened their backs unconsciously, trying to enter her sight in the most perfect posture.

Hefel was casually flirting with the woman in his arms a second ago, but when he saw their gaze, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Talk to me, who are you looking at."

The men quickly turned around, raised their glasses and smiled apologetically at Heffer.

The few noble ladies who had just been talking about Lu Zhizhi behind her back had a flash of jealousy in their eyes, but they immediately put on smiling faces and surrounded her, exclaiming.

"Zhizhi, great, you're finally back."

"Yeah, we all missed you so much."

"Where have you been? Why did you disappear so suddenly?"

Lu Zhizhi took a sip of the juice in her glass. She didn't recognize any of the people in front of her, but they looked very enthusiastic about her, so she said according to what Lu Yuan had taught her in advance: "I went on a long trip and just came back recently."

A girl started to attack first: "Oh? I heard that it was because Hefel wanted to break up with you and you were so sad that you ran away from home."

After she finished speaking, she pretended to cover her mouth and said with an annoyed look: "Oh, why am I talking to you about this and making you think of sad things again, I'm sorry."

Lu Zhizhi was confused at the moment. Should she cooperate with her in showing her sadness, since Lu Yuan had solemnly instructed her not to let anyone find out that she had lost her memory?

Before I could figure out how to act, I heard a sneer from behind.

"Cancel the engagement? Who told you that?"

Lu Zhizhi looked over and saw a man in gorgeous court attire walking towards her. He was elegant and handsome, with lipstick marks on his slightly open collar, which added a touch of extravagance and debauchery.

The noble ladies surrounding her immediately knelt down and called out, "Your Highness Heffield."

Hefeier shook the wine glass in his hand and smiled mockingly at the girl who had just spoken: "Are you lying under my bed, or squatting at the door of my palace every day? Do you know whether I will cancel the engagement or not?"

"I, I just heard it."

"Oh, I heard that. Did you hear that your father is now at the bottom of the Senate? I'm afraid he won't even be able to enter the gates of the three cities next year."

Hefel took a sip of wine, his tone was sarcastic, but his eyes were as cold as frost.

"Take advantage of Miss Lu's presence today and enjoy the atmosphere of the upper class. Otherwise, if you leave tomorrow, no one will recognize you."

The girl's face turned pale, her body swayed, and she left soon with a look of humiliation on her face, followed by several of her sisters.

At this time, Hefel was standing three steps away from Lu Zhizhi, looking at her quietly.

Lu Zhizhi tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her curiously. His face was like Nuwa's graduation project, and his body was like a walking clothes rack. The first thing you saw was his long legs.

She always felt that the other person had an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Is he his fiancé?
Lu Zhizhi was about to speak to him when she saw the woman beside him entwining her arms like a water snake and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, why bother with those little girls? Didn't you just say you wanted to drink the wine in my mouth? I'll feed it to you."

Lu Zhizhi immediately retracted the step she had just taken.

It seems that what those noble ladies said is true, and the engagement between Hefel and her should be cancelled soon.

Great, one less person to deal with. Lu Zhizhi controlled this little happiness and didn't dare let anyone see her clues.

The girl's eyelashes drooped and she lowered her head slightly, looking a little sad. Then she turned around and left quietly.

Hefel moved his lips, wanting to call her, but he met Lu Yuan's eyes.

At this time, Lu Yuan was holding Lu Zhizhi's arm, lowering his head and saying something in her ear, but his eyes were looking straight at Heffer, as if warning.

Heffel's chest rose and fell in restrained rhythm, and his fingertips, which were gripping the wine glass, had turned white from the force he exerted.

The two men's eyes met silently in the crowd, and in the end Hefel could only watch Lu Yuan's hand stroke her snow-white and delicate back, and take her to a group of nobles to chat and laugh.

Hefel licked his back teeth, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The woman next to him was still clinging to his arm and complaining, but the next second he grabbed her by the neck. The man's sinister voice rang in her ears: "I hate disobedient things."

The woman's lips trembled with fear, and she didn't dare to get close to him during the entire banquet.

Lu Zhizhi was taken by Lu Yuan to meet a group of upper-class people. She had already drunk three glasses of juice, but she didn't remember many of them.

She absentmindedly poked the small cake on the plate in front of her with her fork. Lu Yuan was talking to someone next to him, but he looked in her direction from time to time. When he noticed that many men were staring at her back eagerly, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Suddenly, Lu Zhizhi felt a coat falling on her shoulders.

She looked up, blinked at him, and said, "I'm not cold."

"Wear it."

Lu Yuan didn't let her take it off, so Lu Zhizhi had to keep it on.

He sat in a chair beside her and watched her mash the cake.

After a while, a deep voice sounded: "Unhappy?"

Lu Zhizhi said without even raising her eyelids, "No."

But it was obvious on her face that she was unhappy.

Lu Yuan looked at her in silence for a while, then said, "I have news about Feng Heng."

Sure enough, Lu Zhizhi stopped digging in the cake.

She looked at Lu Yuan, without saying a word, but just stared at him with her watery eyes.

Lu Yuan was unmoved and just said, "I heard from Ms. Ke Wen that you haven't been eating well recently."

"I will eat well."

Lu Zhizhi moved closer to him, and one of Lu Yuan's arms happened to be resting on the back of her chair. From other people's perspective, it looked like Lu Yuan was holding his sister in his arms.

She bit her lower lip and called out, "Brother."

Lu Yuan's eyes dimmed and he leaned back, putting some distance between them.

But the man seemed to think it was not far enough, so he stood up and said before leaving: "Feng Heng has safely returned to the main planet and passed the Central Command's monitoring meeting. He will probably be reinstated soon."

Lu Zhizhi hurriedly asked: "What about Li?"

Lu Yuan seemed to know what she was going to say and stuffed a pink macaron into her mouth, blocking her mouth.

"First, fulfill the conditions this time."

After saying this, without waiting for Lu Zhizhi to finish chewing, he took a step forward, put on his calm look again, and went to chat with people.

"Brothers and sisters really settle accounts clearly"

Lu Zhizhi muttered softly. After finishing a macaron, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

She turned her head and saw a snake coming from nowhere slithering on her shoulder. Its blood-red tongue touched the back of her neck, turning her completely into stone!

A feminine voice sounded from behind: "Long time no see, Little Rose."

 A whole point of wet crazy batch of men
