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

Chapter 158 Sister.

Cecil's idea was actually very simple. Since Duke Lu Xia insisted on separating from him, and since he didn't want to sever his ties with this family, he would integrate in his own way.

Smelian looked at him and felt that Cecil was a little strange today. When did he value his status in this family so much?
But he didn't ask any more questions, because what Cecil wanted to do didn't pose a threat to him.

He asked the old housekeeper who was passing by: "Is Xia Xia back?"

The old housekeeper paused and replied, "Madam is already in the room."

Smellian responded and went upstairs.

After knocking on the bedroom door, Lu Xia's voice came from inside. Smellian pushed the door open and saw Lu Xia coming out of the fitting room after changing clothes. It was obvious that she had just arrived home. Seeing Smellian come back, she smiled and said, "Aren't you working overtime today?"

"Well, I can't always work overtime. I also need to have my own life."

He smiled and walked over, looking at Lu Xia gently, and said, "How are you today? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Don't worry, my pregnancy reaction is very mild and can be almost ignored."

Compared to Grace's straightforwardness and strength, Smellian is more gentle and delicate.

Hearing this, Smellian nodded: "Xia Xia, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing that he was a little serious, Lu Xia said softly, "Okay, what's the matter?"

"Look, I want to arrange some people to protect you secretly when you go out, is that okay?"

Lu Xia looked at Smelian in confusion: "Why, why did you arrange for someone to protect me when everything was fine?"

"I'm just a little worried. Your situation is special right now, and I feel more at ease with someone protecting you. It would be great if I could be with you every day."

Lu Xia laughed: "Smelian, are you too nervous? No one knows about my pregnancy now, so there won't be any problems. But if this can make you feel at ease, you can do it without disturbing me."

I didn't expect Lu Xia to agree just like that.

Smellian nodded and said, "I will arrange for you to meet with them. Don't worry, I won't let them disturb your life. I am just protecting your safety."

"Okay, you make arrangements."

Lu Xia smiled at Smelian reassuringly. She didn't mind Smelian having his own ideas. As long as he discussed it with her and it was within his acceptable range, Lu Xia wouldn't refuse such concern. She believed Smelian would also know his limits.

But she didn't expect that this was not the end. Cecil also came to her that night and said that he wanted to set up a trust fund for everyone in the family.

Like Smellian, Lu Xia asked Cecil with doubts why he did this.

Cecil still explained that he was a member of this family.

Lu Xia thought silently for a moment and said, "Cecil, I know this is a good thing, but will it be too much trouble for you?"

"Your Excellency the Duke, I know that I misunderstood you before. I was short-sighted. I thought you were no different from the females in the empire. But now I know very well that you are different. I really want to integrate into this family. I hope Your Excellency the Duke can give me a chance to perform and let me make up for my previous debts. Okay?" When Cecil said this, he suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Xia.

Lu Xia was startled by his sudden action and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but Cecil grabbed her hand and held it against his chest. "Your Excellency the Duke, can you please not push me away? Even if I can't compare to Grace and Smellian in your heart, can you please leave me a little space, just a little bit."

His eyes were sincere, with a hint of pleading in them, and his voice was even hoarse with nervousness. Lu Xia was a little surprised that Cecil would express his feelings to her so abruptly and bluntly.

She asked herself, since Cecil came home, she had not shown excessive enthusiasm towards him, and they didn't even have much interaction, so why did Cecil suddenly change his attitude towards her?

"Cecil, you're still young. You don't need to make up your mind so soon. You might meet a female better than me in the future. If you're willing and she truly likes you, I can..."

Before Lu Xia could finish her words, she was interrupted by an anxious Cecil: "No, I don't want other females. Your Excellency the Duke, you may not like me or accept me now, but can you please not reject me? And please look at me more, just look at me more, okay?"

As he spoke, he buried his face in Lu Xia's legs, looking pitiful, like a big cat that had done something wrong and was begging for mercy.

Lu Xia looked at Cecil, whose blond hair was buried between his legs, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment. However, she was a few years older than Cecil after all. After calming herself down, she gently patted Cecil's shoulder and said, "Okay, since you want to set up a trust fund for your family, then go ahead and do it."

Cecil looked up with a smile on his face. He still held Lu Xia's hand tightly and was unwilling to let go. Now, meeting Lu Xia's dark eyes, he asked tentatively: "Your Excellency the Duke, can I stop calling you Your Excellency the Duke?"

Lu Xia laughed and asked, "What do you want to call me then? Do you want to call me Xia Xia like them?"

Cecil shook his head and said, "Can I call you sister?"

This answer surprised Lu Xia. She looked at Cecil, who was full of expectation, in surprise: "Why are you calling me sister?"

"Because it feels more intimate and more like a family."

Lu Xia hadn't expected Cecil to have such thoughts. It was as if he was worried that they wouldn't be able to become a family. Seeing that Cecil was worried that Lu Xia wouldn't agree, he quickly added, "Can you only yell at us at home, in private or when it's just the two of us, without outsiders hearing us, okay?"

Seeing him like this, Lu Xia nodded: "Since you want to shout like that, then it's up to you."

She was indeed older than Cecil, so it was right to call her sister.

Cecil was very happy to get the permission and immediately changed his tone: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the trust fund. Or, sister, are you short of money? If you are short of money, I can invest. I am very rich."

Seeing his eagerness to try, Lu Xia was a little amused: "Okay, I will definitely tell you if I need money."

She is indeed not short of money now. The Dafelno family has just deposited 3 million yuan as compensation into the institute's account. She is now rich.

After hearing Lu Xia's words, Cecil stood up, his joy evident in words. "Sister, let's go downstairs. The housekeeper should have had the roasted whole lamb prepared. Let's go and try it."

He just held Lu Xia's hand and walked out of the study.

Smelian noticed that the two of them came down holding hands, raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, Cecil held Lu Xia's hand and waved it in front of Smelian, as if to prove something.
