Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 17 Eat.

After chatting for a while, it was almost lunch time. Duke Leslie had asked the butler to prepare a sumptuous lunch in advance. He stood up and invited Lu Xia to the restaurant for dinner.

When they went over, there were two young females sitting at the dining table who looked somewhat like Duke Leslie. Even before they were introduced, Lu Xia knew that these were the two female sisters Grace had mentioned.

Noticing them coming, the two glanced at Lu Xia with a hint of disdain and stood up reluctantly: "Mother, good day, Duke Lu Xia."

Duke Leslie looked at his two female cubs and introduced them to Lu Xia with a smile: "These are Kelly and Kaiya. I knew you were coming today, so I specially left them at home. Everyone, please take a seat."

Duke Leslie was about to pull Lu Xia to sit down, but Lu Xia said to Grace who came with him, "Sit next to me."

This sentence made everyone present silent. Obviously, they did not expect Lu Xia to say this suddenly.

However, Lu Xia looked very natural, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence.

Grace also sat next to Lu Xia very obediently, as if they had always done so and it was they who were making a fuss.

"Heh, Grace asked you to sit down, and you really dared to sit down. After leaving home, don't you even care about any manners?" Kaiya, who was sitting on the opposite side, sneered and mocked Grace who sat down, her eyes full of disgust.

Lu Xia looked over when she heard this. She knew very well that although this sentence seemed to be talking about Grace, it was actually talking about her. After all, it was she who asked Grace to sit down.

As for the reason, Lu Xia knew it without thinking too much. It was simply because males were not allowed to sit at the table to eat.

"What's wrong? Grace is now a member of my Duke Lu Xia's Mansion. Does she still have to abide by the rules of Duke Leslie's Mansion?" Lu Xia looked at Duke Leslie innocently, as if she really didn't understand why she had to discuss it with Duke Leslie. She didn't even look at Kaia.

Duke Leslie actually didn't expect that Lu Xia would allow Grace to sit at the table for dinner. You have to know that in the empire, except for male husbands, other males are not allowed to sit at the table to eat with females. Even in restaurants outside, females and males have separate rooms.

Even most restaurants have signs prohibiting males from entering.

But at this moment, she didn't feel too uncomfortable. Instead, she felt a little proud of Lu Xia's appreciation of Grace.

You have to know that Grace is a "defective product" and can only be Duke Lu Xia's servant in this life. However, as a servant, he is so valued by Duke Lu Xia. Isn't this the honor of their Duke Leslie's Mansion?

"Duke Lu Xia is right. Grace is now a member of Duke Lu Xia's mansion. It's only right for him to do whatever you ask. Kaiya, you should stay out of Grace's business from now on."

Kaiya's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would be blamed by her mother just for saying something about Grace. She couldn't help but give Lu Xia a blank look and turned away without saying anything.

Lu Xia's expression remained unchanged, but she suddenly became curious about the sisters Kaili and Kaia. "Where are Kaili and Kaia now? Have they married and moved out of the Duke's Mansion to live independently?" Duke Leslie, upon hearing this, thought it was just a casual chat, so he said, "Yes, they are both married and have their own male husbands, but they are not very capable and still live at home. How can they be as capable as Duke Lu Xia? I heard that you reopened your family research institute?"

"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought both sisters had their own jobs and lives. It turns out you live with Duke Leslie. I didn't expect that. But I think it's good for you to go out to work and see the world. Otherwise, the sky you can see is only the size of this yard. Wouldn't it be a waste of good time?" When Lu Xia said this, it seemed as if he was really thinking about Kelly and Kaiya, and the smile on his face was too sincere.

But these words sounded full of sarcasm to the sisters Kelly and Kaia, mocking them for being so ignorant that they were already married but still stayed at home and relied on their parents.

Duke Leslie, however, didn't realize it and truly thought Lu Xia was thinking about the two sisters. He smiled and said, "Duke Lu Xia is right. I often tell them that no matter what they do, they must have something to do and they can't just sit around like this all day. It's a pity that they don't listen, and I can't do anything about it. They are nowhere near like Duke Lu Xia, who can single-handedly shoulder the responsibility of the Duke's Mansion!"

"I wasn't born knowing how to do this. My reputation outside may not be known to others, but Duke Leslie must know it. It's all spread out like wildfire. But you can get by for a while, but not forever. Now that the Duke's Mansion has been handed over to me, I definitely can't let it be destroyed in my hands. Oh, and I brought some new products from our No. 1 Courtyard this time. They can remove scars, and they're quite effective. Duke Leslie can try them if he needs them."

Duke Leslie immediately became interested when he heard this: "Did your No. 1 Courtyard research this?"

Obviously, what Lu Xia had done during this period had been heard by the entire upper class circle.

Lu Xia had no intention of hiding anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is the first generation of beauty cream we developed. It currently has the effect of removing scars and whitening the skin, and will also have the effect of removing spots and wrinkles in the future. If Duke Leslie feels good after trying it, don't forget to help me

I highly recommend it to everyone! "

"Of course, of course. This is natural given the relationship between our two families. Oh, and by the way, Prince Li Mang's 40th birthday is in the middle of next month. We can attend it together then."

After hearing this, Lu Xia understood that the purpose of coming here today had basically been achieved.

The reason why she came to visit Duke Leslie was to let Duke Leslie, who had more seniority in the empire, lead her into a higher social circle. After all, the people in the upper class were the real rich people.

"Okay, I hope Duke Leslie can teach me more when the time comes." Lu Xia showed his humility just right, which satisfied Duke Leslie's vanity to a great extent. He felt that Duke Lu Xia was a person who could get along with him.

After dinner, Lu Xia and Grace didn't stay long. After they left, sisters Kelly and Kaiya couldn't help but complain, "I used to only know Duke Lu Xia was a scoundrel, but now I know she's so good at pretending. We're all in the same circle, so everyone knows each other, and she's trying to lecture us."

Hearing this, Leslie put down the teacup he had just picked up. "She's right. Now that you two are married, you should get down to business. Don't keep running back home when you have nothing to do. Go live your own lives. Duke Lu Xia used to be a slacker, but now look at him. How can he treat people and behave properly? There's nothing you don't need to learn. Why are you still complaining here? If you could have someone as outstanding as him, I wouldn't be so embarrassed!"

At this point, Duke Leslie picked up his teacup and was about to take a sip when he suddenly remembered something. He looked up at the two dissatisfied female cubs and said, "Leave Grace's affairs alone in the future. Can't you see his current status in Duke Lu Xia's eyes?"
