Chapter Nineteen Anne's Mind
Chapter 19 Annie’s Thoughts
The romantic courtship seemed to have had a certain effect, at least the entire mansion was alarmed, and even Anne's elegant parents were watching the scene here from a distance through the fountain. With hundreds of eyes, Winter wonderfully performed the second serenade as he sang better, and began to prepare for the third one with unsatisfactory intentions.
But at this moment, a maid suddenly ran downstairs. After listening to her whisper, Winter couldn't help but look slightly astonished, but then followed in disbelief. An Ruoran and Naya looked at each other and suddenly said to each other: "So smooth? Is Miss Anne not immune to serenade?"
But no matter what, the facts were right in front of him. At least Winter had entered the boudoir that few people could enter. So in a faint doubt, An Ruoran could only sit by the fountain with Naya in his arms, waiting for the good news that would come soon. He must have been very satisfied with the performance. Anne's parents even sent a maid to deliver coffee and snacks...
"Thank you!" An Ruoran took a cup of coffee casually and nodded casually. But the next second, when he saw the maid's face hidden in the shadow, he suddenly became slightly stunned and almost knocked over the coffee cup in his hand. OK! Even though he was wearing an inconspicuous maid's uniform, the beauty of this maid still could not be hidden, just like Night Pearl would shine no matter where it was!
"Wei, Miss Wei Ji, why are you here?" After confusion and shock, An Ruoran couldn't help but show a strange expression and looked up and down at the beauty who had not seen for several months. Last time we met, the beauty played Maldini's lover, and this time she played the role of the maid... Meow, is she going to tempt the uniform to the end?
"Because I'm not rich recently, I have to make extra money." Miss Wei Ji smiled as if nothing had happened, but she probably wouldn't believe this. An Ruoran shrugged helplessly and picked up the cup of coffee again: "Okay, I don't care what you plan to do. In short, don't interfere with each other's plans, how about it?"
"Plan, are you talking about helping Winter pursue Anne?" Wei Ji chuckled slightly, suddenly approached An Ruoran, and murmured in his ear, "I bet that Mr. Winter will never succeed. In fact, Miss Anne is not as simple as outsiders think. She is a very opinionated woman, perhaps the kind of person who is soft on the outside and hard on the inside."
As if to verify her words, Winter also walked out of the building at this time. Judging from his dejected expression, it was obvious that the conversation just now did not get a good result. An Ruoran glanced at Wei Ji and whispered: "I've got it right, but you should leave now... In addition, if you plan to cooperate this time, I'll go to the Marquis of Winter's mansion to find me tomorrow, so there's no problem!"
Wei Ji nodded slightly, then walked away as if nothing had happened. At the same time, Winter, who was frustrated, had already walked to An Ruoran's side. He stood there silently, but after a long time, he suddenly sighed softly: "Don't ask me, I don't want to say anything now! In short, go back to sleep, and I'll talk about anything tomorrow!"
As he said this, he looked back at the building behind him, and then walked away with heavy steps. An Ruoran and Naya looked at each other and could only follow him helplessly. A few minutes later, the Yunlong chariot slowly started and left, leaving only the shining candlelight still swaying in the night wind, but there was no romance at all...
After returning to the mansion, Winter did not say anything as he said before, but just went back to the room and fell asleep. An Ruoran and Naya couldn't sleep, and tossed and turned until six o'clock in the morning to wash and have breakfast. In their opinion, even if this serenade would not have a good effect, it would not have a negative impact. However, looking at Winter's appearance as if he was dead, it seemed to have suffered an extremely heavy blow.
Half an hour later, Winter, with a haggard face, finally walked out of the bedroom. He dragged his heavy steps to the hall, but he kept sitting at the table in a daze. Naya held a cup of coffee with his front hooves, and at this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Hey, Winter, if you don't plan to say something, we really can't help you."
"I know, but there seems to be no hope." Winter sighed softly, picked up a cup of hot coffee, and drank it all without feeling. "Do you know what Miss Anne said? She said she could understand my love for her, but she didn't want to be used as a bargaining chip for politics, so..."
"Political chips?" An Ruoran frowned slightly, suddenly smiled, "It seems that Miss Weiji is right. Miss Anne is indeed much smarter and stronger than we imagined. In other words, she will not accept your pursuit, nor will she accept the pursuit of the Marquis Rhine?"
"Yes, she told me that she planned to leave Gould City and wait for the parliamentary elections to come back, and maybe never come back again." Winter shook his head helplessly, making an expression of "I am determined to kill the enemy, but I am powerless to turn the world back." Naya lit a cigar and gently raised his front hooves and asked, "Wait! Winter, you probably didn't pursue her for politics!"
"Of course not, but how do you prove this? Do you want me to declare a break with my family?" Winter shook his head and put down his coffee cup, but suddenly said in a daze, "Well? You said Miss Wei Ji just now, who is that?"
"Well, that..." An Ruoran smiled. Before he could speak, he saw a servant walking in quickly and said, "Mr. Marquis, there is a lady who claims to be Mr. An Ruoran's friend. Do you think you want to let her in?"
"The master is here, that should be the Miss Wei Ji I'm talking about." An Ruoran smiled and raised his hand to signal the attendant to bring people in. A few minutes later, Wei Ji's soft figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. Winter, who was originally dejected, only looked up and suddenly stood up with a blushing face and stuttered: "Mr. An, this, this is..."
Ignoring his old habits, An Ruoran stood up straight to greet Wei Ji, and at the same time opened his arms to try to take a little advantage. He turned sideways and avoided him. Wei Ji sat down gracefully at the table, pursing his lips and chuckled, "It seems that you didn't have a good rest last night. Is it because of Miss Anne's blow?"
Hearing her blow again, Winter moaned in pain and lay on the round table again. An Ruoran slowly touched his chin and said lightly: "Okay, don't hit our poor Marquis again. Miss Weiji, are you planning to help us, or are you planning to talk about cooperation with me?"
"There are both. I just got the news last night. Miss Anne had arguing with her parents for a while. I think she would probably not return to Gould City." Wei Ji gently put her hair on her temples and turned to look at the frustrated Winter, "So Mr. Winter, you have one last chance. How can you prove that your feelings for Miss Anne have nothing to do with politics?"
Winter shook his head. If he knew how to do it, he wouldn't be dazed here. An Ruoran looked at Wei Ji and suddenly smiled and said, "Dear Miss Wei Ji, have you thought of any way? Maybe we can cooperate?"
"I have no good idea, but I have a bad idea." Wei Ji smiled, picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it lightly, "Tell me, anyway, I can only take a risk to give it a try. But Mr. Winter, if your uncle successfully becomes the speaker, can you do something for me?"
"Well, what do you want?" Winter was stunned and asked immediately. Wei Ji suddenly looked up and said in a low voice: "I want your uncle to help me investigate some things, such as the details of Mr. Nicholas who has died? In addition, I hope to get approval to enter the Dark Forest, which also requires the approval of your uncle, or the future Speaker."
"Dark Forest, that is the forbidden area of the Northern Continent!" Winter was slightly shocked and couldn't help but stand up. However, for a moment of pondering, he still nodded hesitantly and said, "Well, if Uncle Red can become the Speaker, I think he will do his best to help you. Then, about Miss Anne, look..."
"No problem, I will try my best to help you." Wei Ji regained her charming smile and said lightly, "As I said just now, you only have the chance to take a gamble. So the more old-fashioned things are, the more useful things are... For example, how can a hero save the beauty?"
"Puff!" An Ruoran directly sprayed out all his mouthful of coffee. This was a good suggestion. This was simply a cliché method that could not be more cliché. But Wei Ji glanced at him lightly and said as if nothing had happened, "What, do you have a better way? Please think carefully, when a man can even sacrifice his life to protect his beloved woman, do you think that is related to political marriage?"
An Ruoran and Winter looked at each other, vaguely feeling that there was nothing wrong with this sentence, but the question was whether the hero would be too mentally retarded. Wei Ji gently hooked his fingers and signaled several people to come over: "Don't worry, if it was put in the past, this method would definitely be seen through. But don't forget that the situation in Gould City has been very chaotic recently, and we can use the name of those assassins..."
"Impersonating those assassins?" An Ruoran murmured and repeated, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and thought. After a few minutes, he suddenly patted Winter on the shoulder and smiled strangely, "Okay, it sounds like there is a certain possibility. Then Winter, the decision is up to you. Are you planning to die in silence or to explode in silence?"
