Chapter 113 Twenty-eight. The suitor

   "You seem to be looking at something... Is there something in the cloud?"

  Ana suspiciously followed Lu Li's line of sight to the sky. In order to make sure that she and Lu Li were looking at the same place, she leaned over to Lu Li's head and looked out the window.

   A narrow patch of sky outside the window, nothing but overcast clouds.

   She wanted to say something, but when she noticed that Lu Li had stood up, she quickly ducked back to avoid overlapping with Lu Li's body.

"Where are you going?"

  Lu Li didn't return overnight, and Anna had a lot of questions to ask.

   "Go back to the oil lamp, and I'll buy you a book by the way." Lu Li said, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the door. "Is there anything I need to bring back?"

   "No."

   Anna, who was floating behind the desk, waved to Lu Li.

  Lu Li turned his gaze back, and suddenly, behind the opened door, more than a dozen rigid, gray and identical faces collided head-on!

   Lu Li's pupils shrank slightly, but that was only the case, because he could clearly see the source of these faces - a bunch of shillings stacked flowers.

  Whoa——

   This bunch of stacked shillings was held in his hand by a slender, white palm and moved aside, revealing a cheek that could not help but be amazed no matter how many times he looked at it.

  It was slightly different from the first time I saw it at the police station, the face was no longer full of exaggerated and aggressive makeup. She appeared to be wearing no makeup, and her lips changed from a flirty purple to a lighter shade of apricot.

   To put it simply and clearly, she seems to be without makeup today.

   "Do you like it? My housekeeper said it would be more sincere to give it to you by hand."

  Her voice was as hoarse as always, and with the deep voice, it unexpectedly brought a kind of comfortable magnetism.

   Lu Li didn't answer, his eyes were down.

   She was wearing a well-cut men's suit, with a golden ponytail raised neatly behind her head, and her narrow ruby ​​eyes were mesmerizing. If the long hair is cut short and the chest is worn, most girls can't resist this handsome baron with aristocratic demeanor.

   Noticing Lu Li's gaze, Baron Joseph smiled generously: "Wearing this way will make you look more solemn. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Erin Joseph, the Baron of the Principality of the Ellen Peninsula. It's a pleasure to meet you."

   The bunch of shilling flowers that were temporarily removed was handed to Lu Li again.

   "Thank you." Lu Li calmly accepted the bouquet and added, "I like it very much."

   It's hard to say whether Lu Li's last sentence is because of the baron's favor or these shillings stacked into a bouquet.

   The fly in the ointment is that there is only one bunch of flowers.

   "Is it a guest? Or a client?"

   A soft voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and Lu Li tilted his head slightly, not seeing Anna's voice.

   "The guest," he replied.

   Joseph kept the standard smile of aristocratic etiquette on his face, and turned his head slightly: "Huh? Who are you talking to?"

   "Anna."

   Lu Li handed the flower behind him. His short replies and expressionless face made him seem a little inhumane, especially since he had just received a gift.

  Baron Joseph didn't think there was any problem, on the contrary, it made her more excited——

   "Do you have a girlfriend?" She said in surprise, and returned to her standard smile in an instant: "It's okay, I don't mind. I promise, I will make you more than your girlfriend - what is that?!"

  Baron Joseph suddenly saw behind Lu Li, the shilling flower that he handed floated in the air, as if an invisible being was holding it.

   "I just said that, Anna."

   "Anna is..." The graceful smile disappeared from the baron's face, her eyes widened and her eyelashes fluttered.

   "My assistant."

   "I mean why is she transparent..."

   "Because she's a ghost."

  "..." Baron Joseph took a deep breath, which made the buttons on her chest tighten. She forced a smile, raised her head and said to Lu Li, "Help me."

"what?"

   At the same time as Lu Li asked, Baron Joseph's feet suddenly softened, and he held on to the wall so that he did not collapse to the ground.

   "No! Don't help me! I'll do it myself!" Joseph's cheeks were hot, he didn't dare to look up at Lu Li, and waved to the motionless Lu Li.

   "What a terrible meeting, **** it!" Baron Joseph leaned on the corridor wall and walked out. After a low scolding, he pretended to be soft and greasy: "Mr. Lu Li, I remembered that my manor has not been watered yet, I have to go back to glue the manor, then wait until my feet are not so soft, no, wait until I take care of the manor. Things will come back to you."

   Until she pushed open the door of the longhouse and left the corridor, she didn't dare to muster up the courage to look back.

   "She seems to be frightened by me... Do you want to comfort her?"

  Anna appeared beside Lu Li and whispered while holding the bunch of flowers.

   "Are you going to comfort?" Lu Li comforted.

   "Pfft... Of course it's you." Anna covered her stomach and laughed, suddenly thinking of something, her smile became lonely: "I used to scare her even more..."

  Lu Li didn't want to do this: "No, I just want her money, not anything to do with her."

   "Don't say such bad things in such a plain tone!"

  …

  Baron Joseph buried his head and walked back to the carriage with trembling steps.

   Fortunately, she dressed in men's clothes today, and no one recognized her.

   "Is that guy so powerful? It can actually make your feet soft."

   A whisper came from the carriage, and Baron Joseph snorted coldly: "What nonsense, I was scared by him!"

   One corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, and a short butler girl in a tuxedo supported her baron: "Is that guy so powerful? He can actually scare your feet soft."

   "It's all said not--" Baron Joseph quibble, and slammed into the butler's teasing eyes.

   "I didn't say yes."

   "Break." Baron Joseph didn't make any excuses, changed the subject and gritted his teeth: "How on earth did you investigate! There's actually a ghost in his detective agency!"

The short butler pushed the thick round glasses on the bridge of his nose and pulled the baron into the carriage: "As an exorcist, it is normal for him to deal with ghosts. I think you should be clear about his occupation, baron. And frankly Say, if you have a bad opinion about him, you better get over that."

   "Just for fun." Baron Joseph whispered.

   "That has to be overcome too."

  Baron Joseph's eyes dodged, and his voice lost much confidence: "I can't do it today, my feet are weak..."

   The little butler sighed and stopped blaming Baron Joseph: "That's fine, but please be careful in the future, don't show such weakness in front of others."

   Baron Joseph was slightly startled, and gradually put away his emotions, as if he had changed back to the Baron Joseph in Belfast rumors.

   "Of course I know."

   she said hoarsely.

"Let's go."

   The carriage moved slowly and left the longhouse.

  Behind the car window, a pair of ruby-like eyes stared at a figure that appeared in front of the long house door, and the fists under the sleeves were clenched a little bit.

   "I'll be back!"
