Chapter 18: Smart or stupid?

Although Annie did not directly say what Lin Feng proposed to her, she also expressed it indirectly. She was originally a little worried that Lin Feng would not understand, but when she heard Lin Feng's gentle words, all the pressure accumulated over the past five years seemed to be nothing at this moment. The originally hot heart melted away even more heat!

She felt a long-lost warmth surge from her heart. With the sadness that had been passed down, all of them surged up at this moment. She even felt her nose a little sore at this moment, and couldn't help sobbing. Then she blurted out under the strong impulse in her heart and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Lin Feng obviously heard the faint sob. Hearing Annie's simple answer, his heart couldn't help but surge. He seemed to be unable to control the strong impulse in his heart, and stretched out his only remaining hand to hug Annie hard, hugging her hard in his arms!

Who says that aristocrats must have a big show when proposing a marriage? Who says that a romantic environment is needed before proposing?

Haven’t I still successfully proposed to the most beautiful woman in the empire in front of this simple and weedy door?

At this moment, in front of this seemingly messy door, in the envious eyes of these maids, the scene of Lin Feng hugging Annie seemed to be the most beautiful picture in the world.

Without flowers and without romantic and warm atmosphere, the two nobles with the highest status in the empire completed the first step towards the marriage hall in this simple and even simple environment.

There is even a smell of weeds floating in the air, which slowly evaporates under the sunlight.

At this moment, time seemed to be still, and the young people who had been running for five years and experienced life and death together interpreted the most beautiful things in each other's hearts.

only……

However, Luo Qing in Lin Feng's arms not only did not seem redundant at this moment, but also gave people a strange feeling...

The little loli seemed to be infected by this atmosphere. Perhaps her mind was still hazy at the moment, but a special familiarity rose in her mind. It seemed that the memory that was sealed in her heart slowly opened a corner, making her feel a little confused, but there was also a strong expectation that made her unconsciously stretch out a small hand and put it on Annie's shoulder, as if expressing her understanding in her heart!

Such a strange scene fell into the eyes of the maids, but their expressions became weird... His master was holding a little girl in his arms and hugging Duke Anne, which further highlighted the picture was the little hand Luo Qing placed on Anne's shoulder.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a warm picture of a family of three!

The maids couldn't help but think about it. Could it be... this little girl is the daughter of Duke Anne? She looks four or five years old? Isn't this just right in line with the circulating story that the two have known each other for five years?

However, five years ago, my master seemed to be only twelve years old? And I still seemed to be a civilian... I could get Duke Anne who could not be fed by anyone else at the age of twelve, and even let her get pregnant. My master's methods are really admirable!!

Originally, they had heard any version of Lin Fengneng becoming the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf. Being in the palace made them recognize the most authentic version. They were a little disagreeing with Lin Fengneng becoming the Duke, but at this moment they thought of this in their hearts, which made them truly admire him!!

Lin Feng obviously didn't know what these maids were thinking, but he finally noticed that this was in public. He took a deep breath, patted Annie's back, and said in a gentle voice: "Annie, go in with me first."

"Yeah." Annie responded softly, then left Lin Feng's arms reluctantly.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately turned around and ordered a maid closest to him and said, "Go and tidy up the study first."

"...Yes." The maid seemed to have not come back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment before she quickly agreed and ran to the study room in a panic.

When Lin Feng turned around, the other maids immediately lowered their heads and continued to work hard. Annie noticed the expressions on their faces, and her heart couldn't help but feel sweet. She subconsciously glanced at Lin Feng, but found that Lin Feng was also looking at her. Thinking of so many idle gazes around her, she couldn't help but turn red again, and she deliberately angrily said: "What are you looking at!"

"Of course it's up to you!" Lin Feng felt Annie's very delicate appearance. After saying this, he couldn't help but add: "You are so beautiful."

After hearing this, Annie felt sweet again. This was probably the sweetest moment in her heart in five years. She couldn't help but lean her head on Lin Feng's shoulder.

The two of them walked slowly towards the study room, but before they could walk a few steps, there was another knocking sound behind them...

Lin Feng couldn't help but frowned, and couldn't help thinking, could anyone come to "support" him?

Subconsciously turned around and saw that in front of the door of the mansion that had forgotten to close, Mali, who was wearing a simple commoner, stood there alone. Seeing Mali's image, Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened!

Although Marley was not awarded the title by the emperor, his master was promoted to a half-level title. Everyone knows that this half-level title was promoted because of Marley. Logically speaking, even if his master did not offer Marley, he would definitely be responsible for heavy duties. Moreover, according to Marley's current strength, he is capable of serving as a quasi-elephant guard chief! Even if Marley is young and has no experience, he would not have fallen to this point, right?

Is Hilton a fool?!

This thought arose in his heart, and Lin Feng's original warmth disappeared. Looking at Mali, who was wearing a cloth dress with a strange expression on his face, he immediately strode towards the door and asked, "Mali, what's wrong with you? Why did you become like this?"

Annie also noticed something was wrong with Mary, and she couldn't help but show doubts on her face, and followed Lin Feng together.

"Lin...Snow Demon Wolf Duke..."

Marley hesitated for a moment and called out Lin Feng's honorific title. However, before he could say the word "person", he was interrupted by Lin Feng's frown: "Maley, don't you know me anymore? Why did you become so disgusting!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, a strong bitterness appeared on Marli's face. Lin Feng saw it, glanced around, took Marli's hand and walked towards the study: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk in my study."

Although Anne was a little confused when she saw this, she knew that it was not the time to ask, so she took it to the door and turned around and walked towards the study with the two of them.

At this time, the study room had been cleaned up by the maid, but the empty study room had no chair. Lin Feng didn't care about the embarrassment, took a breath and looked at Mali: "Mali, tell me, what happened?"

Although his words were calm, there was a sense of anger in it.

After spending five years with Lin Feng, Marley naturally knew Lin Feng very well. He heard the anger hidden in Lin Feng's tone and quickly said, "No, nothing happened..."

"What happened? Why did you become like this?" Lin Feng immediately interrupted Marley and shouted sternly, but he also realized that he was a little out of control and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

When Annie saw Lin Feng's appearance, she took the initiative to ask him: "Male, Lin Feng is asking why you dress like this? Is Hilton's Count not good to you?"

"No, the master is very nice to me." Marley lowered her head, and an invisible loss appeared on her face.

Lin Feng had suppressed the anger in his heart at this moment, and then tried his best to calm down his voice: "Mali, tell me what's going on!"

Marley knew that he would say it sooner or later, so he simply raised his head and started talking slowly.

It turned out that things were actually very simple. Hilton's Count naturally understood that his current title was obtained because of Mary. When Mary returned, he immediately raised Mary as a great god who had promoted and made a fortune. His attitude towards Mary was simply not like the attitude that a master should have against his subordinates, and he was even more kissing than his son.

Marley was still a little uncomfortable at first, but his submissive nature made him not know what to do. After just two days, Hilton suddenly refused him without warning...

To be precise, he should have given him to Lin Feng...

That's why Marley left the mansion of Hilton's Quasi-Earl in a commoner and came to Lin Feng.

After listening to Mary's story, Lin Feng finally felt relieved. However, at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh. The purpose of Hilton giving Mary to him was to please him. How could Lin Feng not see this?

But, is he smart or stupid?

Aside from Marley's personal thoughts, it is easy for Hilton to find out that Marley is with his roommate for five years. When he was short of staff, giving Marley, a familiar person to himself, was obviously a plea, and it was a plea to him.

Lin Feng certainly understood this point, and admired Hilton for being willing to give Marley to himself at this time. From this point of view, Hilton is undoubtedly extremely smart!

But... his quasi-elephant title was promoted by Mary. Can't he see that the emperor now attaches great importance to Mary? But why did the emperor not use Mary for himself but let Mary return to Hilton? Can't he really see that?

The emperor was the choice to respect Marley! But he gave Marley to himself. Although he pleased him, he also offended the emperor at the same time!!

At this moment, Lin Feng really didn't know whether to feel sorry for Hilton's Fortune Earl or happy for Marley's arrival.

Looking at Mali, who was obviously a little dazed in front of him, Lin Feng was about to say something, but suddenly heard a messy voice coming from outside. He immediately frowned and looked at Anne, then gave Mali a wink. The three of them walked out of the room together...
