Chapter 360 New Identity (1)
"I only know Kori here, so I can just go over and be his cousin or something."
Lu Xiu laughed again: "Cousin, that's not possible. Kou Li is the eldest son of the legitimate family."
Ning Hua pulled down his lips and said, "Oh, if the direct line doesn't work, you can just find any branch of their family that has died out and assign me to it..."
The corners of Lu Xiu's mouth curled up slightly again. He didn't say anything, but just took the booklet, put a check mark in front of the Dempsey family, and wrote two lines of words.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I will follow your Highness's orders."
Lu Xiu put away the booklet and waved to Ning Hua: "Come here."
Ning Hua walked around Lu Xiu's desk and stood beside him: "What is it, Your Highness?"
Lu Xiu pulled Ning Hua over and sat her on his lap.
"Ah!" Ning Hua jumped up again as soon as he touched Lu Xiu's leg, "Lu Xiu!"
"I just hugged you, is there any need to react so strongly?"
"need!"
"Then be careful with your words. If you call yourself 'slave', I'll be tempted to bully you..." Lu Xiu let go of Ning Hua and stood up. "I'll take you out for dinner tonight. But once we're out, I'll keep my word. You mustn't be disrespectful."
Ning Hua nodded, secretly complaining: "Who dares to be disrespectful to you..."
Lu Xiu took Ning Hua to a private restaurant for dinner. The environment around the dining table was quiet and the lights were dim. There was a dining table placed in a courtyard of neither too big nor too small.
The chef stood by the table and introduced today's dishes to the two of them, and then asked Ning Hua in detail about his taste preferences.
The slow pace of serving the food stretched the meal out infinitely. Ning Hua was getting a little impatient as she finished. She asked Lu Xiu, "Are there any more dishes? When are we going back?"
"And a soup."
"It's been two hours since I started eating. I'm full and don't want any more soup."
"Can't sit still anymore? You think two hours is too long, but I find it rare to have such a complete period of time to relax. I'm exhausted by official duties every day, and I also have to worry about you. Why don't you eat a little longer and let me rest..."
Ning Hua's face fell and he remained silent.
Fortunately, there was only one dish of soup left. She watched the commander slowly drink two sips and finally ended this tiring dinner.
The commander refused to leave after drinking the soup. Ning Hua wanted to urge him several times, but he held back.
Lu Xiu closed his eyes slightly, feeling the evening breeze coming towards him, and the expression on his face was extremely comfortable.
More than ten minutes later, Gene walked in quickly.
Ning Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gene. Look, even your guards are getting impatient. You have to leave this time, right?
Gene simply bowed and said, "Your Highness, Colonel Curry and the old Duke are here."
Lu Xiu opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "Let them in."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Soon, the tall and straight Colonel Corey appeared in front of Ning Hua. Beside Corey was an old man with a serious expression and an awe-inspiring look.
Ning Hua immediately stood up and stood aside.
Corey bowed deeply to the commander and said, "Good evening, Your Highness."
"Excuse me, old Duke, please excuse me too."
Gene waved to the waiter in the restaurant, and the waiter came forward to remove the dishes on the table, and added chairs for the two adults to sit down.
Lu Xiu gave Ning Hua a wink, and Ning Hua walked over and stood beside Lu Xiu.
