Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 137 Envy.

"Wait until I come back, Xia Xia."

This was the last message Grace sent to Lu Xia before the battle.

Mrs. Raphaeld attaches great importance to Smellian becoming a gene fusion.

She always remembered the grand occasion when Duke Leslie held a celebration banquet for Grace, and now it was finally her turn to have such an opportunity.

How could she be negligent?

Moreover, the Raffield family had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. Now that they finally had a chance to show the world their glorious side, they had to seize this opportunity and expand their network as much as possible.

Lu Xia arrived at the celebration banquet early in the morning with Smellian and Cecil. Mrs. Raphaelde greeted them with a radiant smile.

The look she gave Smelian was full of tenderness, as if Smelian was her most beloved son.

Glancing at Cecil, he discovered that his outfit today was finally no longer unique. It was obvious that this set of clothes was prepared for him by Lu Xia.

It seemed that Cecil had finally caught the eye of Duke Luxia. Fortunately, Smellian had the upper hand.

At least Cecil is not a gene fusion person yet.

Cecil clearly saw the contempt in Mrs. Raffield's eyes. But he had learned his lesson this time. When the old butler asked him if he wanted to attend the celebration banquet for Smellian's becoming a gene fusion, he gladly accepted the invitation and told the old butler that he didn't have a formal suit for the banquet.

So this time, she had the opportunity to wear a dress similar to Lu Xia and Smellian, so that she would not be excluded. As Smellian once said, some things need to be fought for by oneself.

He used to disdain to do all these things, but he never thought that after meeting Lu Xia, in order to win her heart, become a member of this family, and not be excluded, he also began to work hard to get her attention.

Mrs. Raphaelde also invited Mrs. Dana to Smellian's celebration banquet. When Mrs. Dana arrived, she finally smiled when she saw Cecil wearing the same dress as Lu Xia and Smellian.

Apparently Cecil had finally gotten the point.

When Mrs. Raffield saw Mrs. Dana coming, her smile became even brighter. When she sent the invitation to Mrs. Dana, she was prepared for her to refuse, but she didn't expect her to actually come.

Of course, she was not naive enough to think that Lady Dina's arrival was to celebrate Smellian becoming a gene fusionist. Her arrival was entirely for the sake of Duke Lu Xia and to pave the way for Cecil's future.

Duke Leslie arrived soon after. Unlike his previous appearances, he looked a bit tired. Thinking of Grace currently on the battlefield fighting the rebels, Lady Raffield understood exactly where her haggardness and fatigue came from.

Put yourself in Grace's shoes. If Smellian were in Grace's position at this moment, she would also be worried. After all, it is not easy for every family to have such a promising son.

She didn't want to think about the worst, nor did she want to be so selfish, but there were some things she couldn't help but think about. If Grace couldn't come back this time, would Smelian take over as Duke Luxia's husband?

After all, no male would covet the position of the female master's husband, and their Raphaelde family would not give up the opportunity to further deepen their relationship with the Duke Luxia's Mansion.

Lu Xia, unaware of Mrs. Raffield's thoughts, accompanied Smellian to entertain the guests. Cecil quietly accompanied them. Duke Leslie looked at the three of them, feeling a little bitter. If Grace were still alive, she would undoubtedly stand by Duke Lu Xia's side. Even if today was Smellian's celebration, her Grace would still be the most dazzling one.

Lady Dana was very satisfied with today, because Cecil finally stood beside Duke Lu Xia instead of being excluded by her.

As for Lady Raphaelde, she was the most glorious person today. All the guests were full of envy for her. This was the second time. The maidservant with Duke Lu Xia was the second one to become a gene fusionist.

Some people even felt more regretful. If they had sent their useless sons to Duke Lu Xia, would they have had the chance to become gene fusionists now?

They were frightened by the terrible rumors about Duke Lu Xia at the beginning. Now when they think about it, they really regret it. How many of those rumors were true?

Many people harbored similar thoughts. Lu Xia quickly noticed that many more females came to chat with her today. Although there had been some before, none were as enthusiastic as this time.

Lu Xia wasn't stupid. She knew very well that these people's motive was nothing more than to see Smellian become a gene fusion again after Grace, which aroused their greed.

She didn't want to pay attention, but there were always bold females coming to her.

"Duke Lu Xia, good day. My son Xiong has just reached adulthood this year and is very handsome and dignified. If you like him, I will bring him to you for a look."

"Duke Lu Xia, my son's age is just right for you. I don't ask for the position of a concubine, I just want him to be by your side as an ordinary servant and serve you."

Lu Xia's expression remained cold in the face of these remarks. Smellian's eyes were cold, and Cecil couldn't hide his anger.

He hasn't even won Lu Xia's heart yet, what are these people thinking?

But he also knew that Lu Xia was the decision maker. Regardless of whether he and Smellian were willing or not, as long as Lu Xia agreed, she could bring anyone home. They had no right to interfere.

Lu Xia didn't even look back at Smellian and Cecil. She smiled coldly at them and said, "Let's leave this good boy to someone else. The ones I have at home are more than enough."

Faced with her decisive refusal, everyone was not surprised, but a little disappointed. Duke Lu Xia was still the same lecherous man as the rumors said. Could they also have a taste of such glory now?

Mrs. Rafaeld was originally worried that Lu Xia would agree, and she was even more angry that these people did not understand her meaning and actually said such words at Smellian's celebration banquet. It was simply that they did not take their Rafaeld family seriously.

This is also the reason why their Raphael family wants to climb up the powerful and wealthy, as merchants are always inferior in the empire.

Fortunately, Lu Xia did not agree. Madam Raffield looked at the two of them and said, "Have you forgotten that today is the celebration banquet for my son, Smellian? You say such things at this time, but you don't consider my son. In that case, please go back."

Neither of them expected that Mrs. Raffield would be so straightforward and ask them to leave, but they did do something to save the Raffield family's face.

Lu Xia watched the two of them leave without saying anything, obviously not minding what Mrs. Raphaeld did.

Some people saw this scene and couldn't help wondering if the next banquet would be a public banquet to commemorate Smellian becoming the concubine of Duke Luxia.
