Chapter 98 Grace.
Hearing the word "alone" from Smelian's mouth, Lu Xia couldn't help but worry whether something had happened to Smelian.
And it's something that can't be known by a third person, so it seems like a serious problem.
Lu Xia nodded and said, "Wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
"Don't be in a hurry." Seeing her agree, Smellian's eyes lit up with a smile. He was already handsome, and now with this smile, he looked even more gentle.
This caused many people around to look at him sideways.
I have to admit that the males in the Rafaeld family are good-looking.
No wonder he is loved by many females in the empire.
Lu Xia didn't know what these people were thinking. He greeted Admiral Snop and gave instructions to the researchers in Courtyard No. 2 before changing his clothes and leaving with Smelian.
On the way, Lu Xia sent a message to the old housekeeper, telling him that he didn't need to prepare dinner for her and Smellian, and also informed
Grace, she and Smellian will be home late.
Grace's response was simple: "I understand. Be safe."
He didn't ask what she was going to do with Smelian alone, but just reminded her to be careful.
After seeing the reply, Lu Xia turned off the terminal and asked the person next to him, "Where should we go for dinner?"
"I have already reserved a seat in advance, you just need to follow me." Smellian kept it a secret for a moment, and Lu Xia nodded, gladly accepting the offer.
The restaurant that Smelian booked was very stylish. Not only did it have a first-class atmosphere, but the environment was also very good. Led by the waiter, he came to the private room, from where he could see the scenery below through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and hear the soothing and gentle violin solo. It was private but not overly depressing, making it a very suitable place for a date.
Lu Xia rarely has the opportunity to eat in a place like this, so at first glance it seemed quite fresh.
"Is it difficult to make a reservation for this place?" Although she had never been here before, she could tell that the standards here, whether it was the environment or the attitude of the waiters, were very high. It was obvious that not everyone could come in to dine.
"Yes, I made a reservation a month in advance and just got the number today."
Smellian's answer surprised Lu Xia a little. She didn't expect that the other party had prepared for today so early.
"So what exactly are you talking about?" Lu Xia was not sure if he could handle it well, as it made him so cautious.
"We can talk about it after dinner. Don't worry, it's not a serious matter." Smellian saw that the little female seemed a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted her, changing the subject, "I heard that their steaks and seafood are very good, so I'll have two of them.
I ordered some, I hope you like them.”
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about the matter now, Lu Xia stopped worrying about it. She thought that he would tell it eventually, so it didn't matter if she waited a little longer.
The environment here is nice, and I believe the food will not be too bad. Let’s just enjoy the food first.
As it turned out, Smelian was right. The seafood and steak here tasted very good and the ingredients were fresh. Lu Xia was very satisfied with the meal.
During the meal, she also drank a glass of wine. Her fair cheeks were now rosy, making her look more lively. Smellian's eyes were smiling tonight, and when he looked at Lu Xia, his golden pupils were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with tears.
Lu Xia put down the cup and looked at Smellian: "Now that the meal is over, can you speak?"
Smelian smiled and nodded without delaying any further. He could see that Duke Lu Xia seemed to still be impatient, which was quite cute.
Just when Lu Xia thought the other party was about to speak, Smellian suddenly stood up and walked to his side. Then, under her suspicious gaze, he knelt on one knee in front of her: "Your Excellency the Duke, can you grant me the same grace you granted Grace?"
After many days, the word "grace" appeared again.
However, Lu Xia was able to understand the meaning of these two words immediately.
The temperature on my face seemed to be getting higher.
She didn't expect that what Smellian had prepared to say tonight was actually this.
"Smelian, isn't it good to maintain the current relationship?" Lu Xia felt that it would be good to maintain the status quo and have everyone live in peace.
Smellian looked at her with an extremely firm look in his eyes: "No, Xia Xia, can I call you that?"
Lu Xia nodded. It was just a name, she didn’t really care.
Smellian's eyes smiled again. "I know I can't compare to Grace's position in your heart, but I also want to have the opportunity to truly stand by your side and receive your favor. I don't want to be just a bystander, standing aside and watching you. To be honest, I am a little jealous of your preference for Grace. I hope you can also look at me, okay?"
At this point, Smellian's tone became humble.
Even as he said these words, Smellian carefully took Lu Xia's hand and placed it on his face.
A pair of golden eyes stared at her with such pleading eyes that Lu Xia felt that only a heart of stone could refuse Smellian at this moment.
"I've always thought that you should have better choices. You don't have to be trapped by my side. Your current identity is a shackle for you, but I always feel that it can be changed. Perhaps after you become a gene fusion, even if we end our relationship, it will still be..."
"Xia Xia, do you want to end our relationship? Don't you want me anymore?" Smelian looked incredulous and his face turned pale in an instant, as if he had never thought that Lu Xia would not want him anymore.
"No, I just said that, I didn't say I would do it. I was thinking that maybe you would want to be free."
"I don't want to!" Smellian answered crisply. He put his face completely in Lu Xia's hands. "I want to be with you, just like Grace. I want to gain your favor. I really want it. Can you please not reject me? Even if you can't agree now, can you please consider it and don't rush to refuse? Please, give me some hope, Xia Xia. I will do everything to satisfy you."
Faced with such a humble and pleading Smelian, Lu Xia found it difficult not to be soft-hearted. She took the initiative to hold Smelian's face and looked at him seriously.
"Are you jealous of Grace's closeness to me?"
"It's more of envy. I know that he was the first one to come to your side, so he deserves all the love he gets. I shouldn't compare myself with him, but I can't control my heart. I also want you to see me, even if it's just to give me a little warmth.
It's better to exclude me than to exclude me, so I prepared all this today, hoping to make you happy, maybe you will agree?"
Smelian did not hide his intentions at all, as if he was going to completely expose himself in front of Lu Xia today and show his truest side to Lu Xia.
