Chapter 218

Edward was absolutely hiding something from her.

Su Xiaomi had this idea for several days. At first, she thought she was worried too much. Later, she found that it was not the same thing. Her idea was not wrong.

But what did Edward hide from her? She still can't find the answer.

If you don't talk about him, let's talk about Su Xiaomi herself. She is also in constant trouble. These days, because of ouming's decision, she can't sleep, and she has to worry about her leaving and staying. She is depressed all day.

But it's strange that Ou mingjue hasn't called to harass Edward these days. On the contrary, his uncle doesn't let people worry at all.

When it comes to meal time, Su Xiaomi simply asks her doubts, "what's the matter with your uncle? I don't think you are in a good mood these days. "

Although he is still like that on the surface, his feeling has changed.

She asked carelessly, holding the fork hand moving from time to time, stirring the side of the already shapeless spaghetti, she looked lazy, eyes scattered.

Edward was still a little stunned when he was suddenly asked, but soon he reacted and gave her a calm smile. "It's just a little Royal thing to deal with."

In fact, it's not just a small matter. He is worried about it.

When he didn't respond to this, ouming decided to increase the pressure step by step, forcing the royal family to make concessions for this matter.

Although the Li family, which is financially separated from the royal family, fully supports his actions, just as his father called him yesterday and said, "after all, we are not completely separated from the royal family. You still have to consider for them."

Originally, his family was helping to speak, and the Royal bully didn't dare to do anything. Even Wang had to be afraid of him. But now that his father said so, he had to worry about it.

If one day can't carry it, what should Su Xiaomi do?

Edward didn't realize that he was shaking his mind. He was still thinking about how to deal with it. However, he was suddenly interrupted by the clear sound in his ears. "Edward, Edward..."

He suddenly regained his mind. Everything in front of him became blurred. He held the knife and fork for a long time, but the dishes on the plate didn't move at all.

Seeing that he had no appetite, he simply pushed away, put down his knife and fork, turned to pick up the red wine and sipped it gently. Then he asked her, "what's the matter?"

Even though he looked calm, the wrinkles between his brows betrayed him.

"Nothing. I just talked to you and you didn't respond. I thought something happened to you." Su Xiaomi replied sullenly that she was not in the mood to eat. She followed him to put down the knife and fork, and the whole person fell back, leaning back on the back of the high chair, looking lazy.

No matter whether he was listening or not, she said to herself, "in fact, I understand your difficulty. Ou mingjue's power is so powerful that it can't have any influence on you. If you really can't hold on, I will go back."

She's not joking. She's thinking about it all these days. She doesn't want to involve others all the time, especially Edward is her life-saving benefactor.

But she did not think that Edward is now under pressure from the royal family, if you know, she can not still be at ease here.

As soon as suxiaomi's voice fell, Edward immediately retorted. This time, he was listening to her seriously. "I don't allow you to say such things. Anyway, as long as you like, I will stick to it all the time."

He didn't do it for any reason. He just didn't want her to go the way of being hurt again and again. That's all.

"I..." Su Xiaomi wanted to argue with him, but when she saw the perseverance on his face, she gave up.

Let him go.

……

In addition to the meal time and the occasional weekend free to accompany Su Xiaomi, Edward spent most of the rest of his time in the study. He was busy every day. Su Xiaomi didn't know what to do and didn't want to disturb him.

But when she is bored, she will go to his bedroom with expectation to join in the fun. If Edward is in the room, it means that he can finally be free.

Of course, more often than not, they are still empty.

It's the same today.

Su Xiaomi grabs the doorknob and pokes her head into the room. She looks around, but she doesn't find Edward. She is disappointed, pouting and mumbling, "I know."

She straightened up, released the door handle, turned and was about to leave, but she didn't want to. Just at this moment, the mobile phone rang behind her - Edward left his cell phone in the room.

For a moment, her curiosity continued to expand, driving her to turn around, looking at the luxurious and elegant decoration in the bedroom through the hidden crack of the door. The soothing music broke the peace of the room.

Although she repeatedly told herself that she couldn't do it, Su Xiaomi finally couldn't carry it. She pushed the door open and rushed to the head of the bed before the ring stopped. She picked up her mobile phone and connected the phone.

Because she was too anxious, she didn't even know who the other party was, but subconsciously felt that the call was related to her.

However, the caller didn't know her at all. There was no doubt that it was Edward's uncle again. His voice was very strange. "Edward, I heard that you haven't called Mr. ou to apologize. Why are you so pouting?"

Apologizing?

Su Xiaomi frowned, but she didn't dare to make a sound, waiting for the other party to take care of herself and then said, "have you ever considered the future of the royal family? Don't think that you can be truly independent if you leave the royal family. You need to know that the royal family has given you the position of count! "

The old man was so angry that he was gasping and coughing from time to time. It's not hard to imagine that he is an old-fashioned man in real life.

I thought the old man would find something strange sooner or later, but Su Xiaomi didn't even have to send out a breath tone from beginning to end, and the other party had already said what she wanted to ask.

When he finally realized that there was no reply from the other end of the phone, Su Xiaomi hung up the phone and told him by SMS, "you have the wrong number."

No matter what the other party returned, Su Xiaomi didn't pay any attention. She turned her head and ran outside the door, running along the deep corridor to the study.

Knowing that he was working, she seldom came to the study in the past.

But this time, Su Xiaomi directly pushed the door open, and the man sitting behind the desk in the study looked up with the sound, opposite her eyes. At the moment when her eyes crossed, his blue eyes suddenly contracted.

Tacit understanding is sometimes a terrible thing, it can destroy all the lies and bedding.

Obviously, Su Xiaomi knows something.

Instead of asking her, Edward's first reaction was to look for his mobile phone first. He flipped back and forth on the desktop, and his mobile phone disappeared.

So his guess is right.

"You went to my room?" Edward saw through it at a glance. Although he asked, he didn't hesitate in his voice. He obviously confirmed that it was true.

Su Xiaomi didn't want to deny it. She nodded and didn't forget to mend the knife. "I still answered your uncle's phone. Yes, it was that smelly old man's phone. He told me that Ou mingjue had been putting pressure on the royal family, but you didn't budge."

If it goes on like this, either the royal family turns against the Edwards family, or Edward becomes a sinner through the ages.

But it's not worth it at all for people like her.

"Don't listen to him. I have nothing to do with ouming. How can he aim at me?" Edward doesn't admit it, but he also knows that suxiaomi won't believe his lies.

He sighed, put down the pen and immediately stood up, went to her, reached out to touch her long hair, but was mercilessly patted away by her, Su Xiaomi cold face, word by word said, "I will go back, absolutely will not drag you."

Why did he do it for her?

She's not worth it!

"No, you can't go back. I say I can deal with it. Just relax." Edward patted her on the shoulder as if it were just a small matter.

But in fact, the symbol of the whole country, the royal family, is worried about his stubbornness.

Although he has repeatedly reiterated that he is OK, Su Xiaomi is stubborn at the door, looking at him firmly, gritting his teeth and never retreating.

In fact, he really didn't have to do these meaningless struggles. Just when she learned that oumingjue had been putting pressure on the royal family, she knew that Edward had no chance of winning.

Let alone, she also decided not to drag him, obediently back to oumingjue side.

When she would run away again, she would have to wait until her heart calmed down.

"You can't escape. It won't be a good result to fight with ouming like this. We can only make concessions. Edward, please, just listen to me." Su Xiaomi is painstaking, with clear eyes watching him, full of worry.

She's right. If we go on like this, we'll lose both sides.

However, it was impossible for Edward to give in completely, but he hesitated for a moment and chose to follow her, so that she would not worry, "I know, but I have conditions."

Su Xiaomi can't go back to oumingjue. They have to negotiate.

Let's take a step back, OK?

So far, this is also a feasible solution at present. Su Xiaomi is unwilling to do anything but nod his head and say, "I know."

That's a deal.

……

Half an hour later, the telephone rang in the office of a high-rise building on the other side of the ocean.

Ou Ming decided to get through the phone. Before making a sound, the other party immediately said, "I promise you can step back, but this is just a meeting and negotiation, and it doesn't say that Su Xiaomi will be given to you. Besides, you must take back everything you have done to the Royal family."

Even if he couldn't tell the color, he knew it was Edward.

"I see. It's just a small thing for me." Ou mingjue's response was very calm, as if he never doubted that it would be like this.

When he hung up the phone, the iceberg expression on his cold face melted. Ou Ming decided to raise his mouth and smile arrogantly.

From the beginning, he didn't want to lose.

But he was overjoyed at the thought of holding on to what he had lost again.
