Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 118 Only 1

After lunch, Zhu Xia and Anna went to stroll around Marienplatz and bought a gift for the moon.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the makeup artist and styling team came to the garden house in the wealthy area to help Zhu Xia with her makeup and styling. She emptied her mind and stared at herself in the mirror.

The stylist was curling her hair, looking so careful and focused as if she wanted to make every curl perfect.

At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated.

Zhu Xia opened it and saw that it was a reply from Kelsey.

Kelsey is her former colleague, and they were both students of Professor Albert.

When she woke up in the morning, she edited an email and asked Kelsey to help find information about the people injured in the riot in New York three years ago.

Kelsey replied that it was no problem.

Zhu Xia's mind simultaneously recalled the wounds on He Lianzhou's waist and abdomen and the sound of the gunshot...

I hope it's not what she thinks.

The makeup artist noticed Zhu Xia's eyelashes trembling slightly and gently reminded her to relax her face.

Zhu Xia came to his senses, put down his phone and continued to empty himself.

Qin Mang finally decided on two haute couture dresses, one bright yellow dress to wear and the other a purple dress from the spring and summer series as a backup.

After finishing everything, Zhu Xia got on the car to the banquet. Anna sat in the passenger seat and told her that Mr. He would meet her at the Castle.

Zhu Xia nodded. He Lianzhou had called her, and she didn't care where they met, it wouldn't have much impact anyway.

The headquarters of the Song Group is located in the tallest building in CBD and is one of the landmarks of Beijing.

In the director's office on the 63rd floor, the administrative secretary knocked on the door with an invitation.

"Mr. Song, this is a wedding invitation from the He family in Hong Kong. Do you want to decline it?"

Song Chengyu was looking through the information he had found. The investigation showed that Zhu Xia left New York at the beginning of the year and went to Gangcheng, and Shang Xun had almost stayed in Gangcheng this year.

He clenched his fists, veins popping out on the back of his hands. But they quickly returned to normal, as if the anger at that moment was just an illusion.

His eyes moved to the table and the invitation was opened.

Ho Ming Leung of the Ho family in Hong Kong and Leung Yi Ying of the Leung family in Macau happily tied the knot.

The administrative secretary is responsible for handling various invitations. Normally, most of them are politely rejected directly, but the He family in Gangcheng is extraordinary, and the administrative secretary is undecided, so he asks Song Chengyu for his opinion.

"Need not."

He said, "Arrange a schedule to go to Hong Kong City."

South of Munich, it is surrounded by stunning natural scenery including lakes and the majestic Alps.

The castle is located between mountains and waters, and its appearance is magnificent, just like a castle in a fairy tale. In the distance is the Alps with snow all year round, and overlooking is the beautiful and charming Bavarian countryside.

The wind blowing from the cold snow-capped mountains is chilly. Coming out of the warm carriage, the cold wind is enough to wake people up.

The attic of the castle palace is deep and quiet. A girl is standing on the intricate carpet at the entrance.

She wore a yellow couture dress with an off-shoulder inverted V-neck. The skirt had layers of tulle and a train of bolero petals embroidered on it. Her long black curly hair fell down, and her perfect shoulder blades like butterfly wings could be vaguely seen. She was bright and elegant, with fair skin and bones, and she looked like a noble princess who had escaped from the forest. She was so exquisite that it was fascinating.

Zhu Xia looked around. The castle was tall and dreamy, with intricately crafted works of art everywhere. Gothic details and Baroque doors and windows complemented each other, and it was full of luxurious and mysterious gilded murals and Byzantine decorations.

The magnificent palace exudes aristocratic style.

Zhu Xia exclaimed in admiration, lifted up the hem of her skirt with both hands and walked a few steps inside. The blonde maid standing on the side handed her two bright red roses with a smile.

As they couldn't communicate in the same language, she nodded in greeting to express her gratitude.

Zhu Xia put the rose in front of her nose and sniffed it, smelling a faint fragrance, and continued to walk in. The more she walked, the more she realized something was wrong.

It was too deserted.

Whose house is so desolate that there are so few people attending the banquet?

Moreover, there are only a few servants in such a big castle.

I wish Xia Dahu.

But she didn't stop, she crossed the threshold and reached the banquet hall.

"Good evening, Miss Zhu. Please come in."

"In my castle, you are the only princess." A middle-aged German man with a resolute face came over and said in English.

Zhu Xia looked at his attire, a dark swallowtail butler's coat, a snow-white shirt, and closed gloves. His manners were elegant, rigorous, and capable. He looked like a butler who entertained guests in the castle.

"Good evening." Zhu Xia said softly.

She looked at him again and walked in puzzled.

It was dark now, and lights were lit everywhere in the castle. The huge banquet hall was dimly lit, and classical music was floating. When Zhu Xia walked in, she saw exquisite ornaments, warm ambient lights, table candles and fresh roses on the dining table, and a man holding two wine glasses.

He was wearing a dark blue suit. The well-tailored suit outlined his slender and upright shoulders, and his trousers wrapped around his straight and long legs, making him look like a noble prince.

Hearing the footsteps, He Lianzhou turned his head to look at Zhu Xia.

Zhu Xia stopped where he was, taking in the romantic atmosphere in the room. He knew what was going on without having to look into it any further.

There is no banquet here.

"hand."

Zhu Xia's eyes were clear and bright. She raised her head slightly and looked at the man who walked towards her.

"what?"

He Lianzhou raised his eyelids slightly, "Give me your hand."

Zhu Xia then placed her hand on his big hand. It was warm in the room, but his big hand seemed to be even warmer, making her fingers a little weak.

He Lianzhou led his people to the dining table and sat them down. Servants immediately came in and served the dishes. Soon, the table was filled with a sumptuous feast.

Zhu Xia took the red wine handed to her by He Lianzhou, took a sip, looked at the man opposite and said, "So you are not very busy."

There is still time to travel all the way to the castle for dinner, which is not very leisurely.

"Did I say I was busy?" He Lianzhou asked casually.

Indeed not.

This question made her feel anxious.

Zhu Xia was a little depressed, so he stopped talking and just lowered his head to concentrate on eating.

"Did you have fun today?" He Lianzhou asked when he saw she was silent.

Anna should have told him about her schedule. Zhu Xia chewed the beef and praised generously, "Yeah. Anna has considered every aspect."

"If there's anything else you want to eat, let them make it," said He Lianzhou.

"This is enough." Zhu Xia said.

He Lianzhou saw her with her head lowered, her slender white fingers holding the knife and fork to eat, more cautiously than usual, probably because she was worried about getting her dress dirty.

"You can see the Alps from every window here," he said.

"Ah." Zhu Xia sighed softly, looked up with shining eyes, as if he suddenly felt something wonderful.

"Let's go and have a look later." He Lianzhou raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Zhu Xia looked at the window in the distance and nodded: "Yeah."

The dinner was neither lively nor quiet. Except for the servants who served the dishes at the beginning, there were only the two of them in the entire banquet hall.

Zhu Xia was full, so he put down his knife and fork, wiped his lips, and took another sip of wine.

He Lianzhou saw her fingers stroking the wine glass leisurely and realized that she was full.

The man stood up slowly, walked over and took Zhu Xia's hand.

She stood up with his strength and was taken to the area where the sky beam was cast.

The waltz began, and He Lianzhou placed Zhu Xia's hand on his shoulder. She was still in a daze, and an arm appeared behind her waist, gently pulling her towards him.

Unexpectedly approaching the man, Zhu Xia looked up and met a pair of dark eyes like the abyss. She asked curiously: "Is this... a private castle?"

"It's just used to cheer people up."

He Lianzhou's eyelids slid down, his eyes fell on her face, and he slowly opened his lips: "In my castle, you are the only princess."
