C120 Leisure Court Warm Wine

Lee Xiang smiled but did not directly answer Sophie's question. Instead, he looked at her with interest. Finally, his gaze landed on Yun Chang and said with a smile, "I remember you said that Madam prepared good wine here. . . "

Yun Chang was just about to answer Sophie's question with a faint smile when she first waved her hand to signal Yun Chang to leave first. It was not until her back completely disappeared that her gaze once again fell on Lee Xiang's face. She said faintly, "There is a gazebo in front. Sophie has been waiting for you here for half a day. Although I am not an expert in wine brewing, the taste is still very good. . . "

Lee Xiang smiled. To be honest, he was considering whether he should accept Sophie together with him just now. After all, what the person in the dream said just now was a bit of a blow to him.

The two of them walked side by side through a small path. There was indeed a small pavilion in front of them. In the middle of the pavilion was a small tea table, which was just enough for two people. After entering the pavilion, Lee Xiang casually sat down, and Sophie very naturally sat beside him.

Lee Xiang was very satisfied. Just as he was about to reach out and pick up the jug of wine, When Sophie gently stopped Lee Xiang, she smiled sweetly and said, "This kind of wine was specially brewed by Yun Chang for adults. When drinking it, you can't be too rushed. You need to stew it in a fire for a while. Only then can the fragrance of the wine be stronger and the taste will also be stronger!"

Lee Xiang paused for a moment and only then did he notice that there was a small stove beside the tea table. It must be specially used to stew wine. At the same time, he felt strange. Wasn't this the warm wine from his previous life? He didn't expect that he could still taste it in another continent. It really surprised him. He sighed slightly: "The spring of the Leisure Court wine is still there, with beautiful flowers lingering around. I never thought that I, Lee Xiang, would have such a free and unfettered life today. . . "

Sophie extended her slender fingers and carefully placed the wine pot on the coffee table on top of the furnace. At the same time, she picked up a tool specially used for mixing wine and stirred it gently in the wine pot with her other hand. From time to time, she would turn her head and glance at Lee Xiang indifferently.

"Compared to the flowers in this garden, my lord seems to be more interested in wine?" Seeing Lee Xiang staring at the wine pot on the stove with interest, Sophie asked unwillingly.

"Flowers can be good for the eyes, but wine can be good for the heart. Watching flowers and tasting wine actually complement each other! Once it is missing any bit, it will make people feel that there is a flaw in beauty! At the same time, there must be another essential thing that must be done in order to appreciate flowers and wine tasting. . . Does Madam know what it is? " Lee Xiang smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Sophie.

"What is it?" Sophie was intrigued by Lee Xiang's question.

"Of course, it must be accompanied by a stunning beauty like your wife. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the flowers and wine are, they will always lack a bit of emotion. It makes people feel very regretful. So to Lee Xiang, the flowers in the garden are not worth mentioning compared to your wife!" Lee Xiang laughed.

"Then why did you reject Sophie just now?" Sophie blushed slightly and put down the tool in her hand. She raised her head and stared at Lee Xiang with her beautiful eyes. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Seeing Sophie's serious expression, Lee Xiang sighed slightly, "If I were the madam. . . I think I would also be a little unwilling to let my fate be decided like this, especially with your identity as the wife. How many elegant nobles have once kneeled under your pomegranate skirt, but they forced themselves to do something they were unwilling to do because of the family's mission? This is even more of a detrimental matter. I just don't want to see Madam regret it in the near future. . . To be honest, I personally don't like this kind of fate that other people have arranged for me. . . Of course, This doesn't mean that I'm not interested in Madam's beauty. Strictly speaking, I'm very interested. It's just that. . . It's just that when it comes to women, in comparison. . . I prefer to conquer her heart first. This process is very enjoyable. If it's just the body, Then don't do it!"

Sophie's face became gloomy and after a long time, she faintly sighed and said: "But you can be sure that Sophie's heart is not on you?"

"Would Madam believe that a man and woman who have only met twice would have some kind of relationship that surpasses that between men and women?" Lee Xiang asked indifferently. "The so-called love at first sight is just an unrealistic dream of those unsick scholars in books!"

Sophie was silent. To be honest, the reason she arranged Yun Chang to wait for Lee Xiang at the door of the secret chamber was because she needed some time to carefully think about what her heart was thinking about.

But unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, she still could not come up with a satisfactory answer. On the contrary, her mood became more and more complicated. Actually, she did not have any ill feelings towards Lee Xiang. Strictly speaking, she even had a good impression of him. What he said just now made her feel even more emotional. It even seemed to have a deadly attraction. But that was all there was to it. But when she thought about the mission of the family, the countless warnings from her grandfather before his death, and the dream that had always accompanied her. . . It made her shudder in fear.

Of course, there was another fatal factor in this. All signs indicated that. . . Their family had always been protecting the devil, and Lee Xiang might very well become the devil's sole spokesperson in the near future. She couldn't help but think that if she followed the devil, Sophie's heart sank when she thought of the rumors about the devil's actions in this continent for thousands of years. And once the people of the Holy Church knew of such a thing, The consequences would be even harder to predict.

However, if they didn't follow him, the consequences would be even more obvious. All of this was the root of her complicated emotions.

In the past, when she hadn't found this person, she had thought more than once about who this person was. Lee Xiang's sudden appearance in front of her made her gradually calm down after the initial excitement. She couldn't help but stop thinking about it.

Lee Xiang didn't continue to speak. His goal was to give her some time to make a decision. At this moment, seeing her expression, he secretly sighed in his heart and shouted that something was wrong. At the same time, he secretly regretted what he said just now. However, he had already said those words, so there was no reason for him to take it back.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled faintly and said, "How about this. . . Madam, think about it carefully. Just treat it as giving yourself some time. If you are certain that Lee Xiang is the person you can entrust your life to, it is not too late to make a decision. I am not in a hurry. . . I, Lee Xiang, promise that before I get my wife's permission, I will never have any thoughts that I should not have! As for the things Madam is waiting for, I am not in a hurry. . . "

" Why? " Sophie was slightly stunned. She originally thought that Lee Xiang would directly take over the family's property. She did not expect that it would be such an answer. Even though he was extremely smart, he still could not figure out why Lee Xiang would do this.

"It's very simple. I can't get the wife's heart. What's the use of these things? But I hope that no matter what the situation is, when your wife makes a decision. . . It would be best if you could place me, Lee Xiang, in first place. That would be very comforting!" Lee Xiang laughed. The reason why he suddenly made such a decision. . . It's because he suddenly figured out a terrible problem. That was his uncle, Smith. He was a man who had almost gone crazy over Sophie. Through this man, he thought of more related problems.

With Lee Xiang's current situation, if he took Sophie in at this moment, it would be harmful but not beneficial. The reason was very simple. Based on the various deductions, Smith was definitely related to the person who ambushed him on the way. If he were to let him know that he had stolen his love with a saber, I'm afraid even the last bit of balance will be broken. In this way, he couldn't help but face all kinds of difficulties from Smith. He was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to stay in Bael City any longer. This had given his competitor a huge opportunity. Because the requirement of the so-called devil to become his only disciple was very simple. It was to successfully control Bael City. Even the entire Silo Province. This prerequisite was that he had to stay here first in order to have a chance. Once he was forced to leave this place. . . Or if something happened midway, then all his chances would be lost. If not for such a prerequisite, He wouldn't have to worry about Smith at all.

Therefore, the most important thing right now was to stay here. This was a prerequisite. Everything else could be taken back. He wasn't like his other competitor, Because according to what the person in the dream told him, it seemed like he had already given him what he should have given him. And his meaning was very clear, unless he wasn't qualified for this task. . . Otherwise, everything that Sophie had would not be able to fly away for the time being. Of course, other than himself, he did not want it.

In other words, the most urgent thing for him right now was not to ask Sophie to do something first, but to find a foothold in Duke's Mansion as soon as possible. Although this was difficult, Shaun's promise today had given him sufficient confidence at the critical moment. In addition to the conflict between the Church and Ronton that had yet to be resolved on the surface, Even without Sophie's help, there was still a chance. Only then could he openly obtain everything that belonged to him. Of course, there was another benefit to doing this. It was very easy to win Sophie's favorable impression. And most importantly, Sophie staying at the end was also a good trump card. At the crucial moment, they would fight one another. It would have an unexpected effect.

Sophie heard what Lee Xiang said and looked at him gratefully first. Then she blushed slightly and said in a low voice, "Master, I am very grateful that you think that way. Sophie is very grateful. No matter what, everything is here. Master, when you think it through, you can come and get it at any time. Sophie will definitely not refuse. . . "

The temptation of these words was absolutely fatal to Lee Xiang. The worst part was that it came from a beauty like Sophie. In addition to her current expression of rejecting and welcoming, It really moved his heart. It had taken him a lot of effort. Lee Xiang finally shifted his gaze away from Sophie's pretty face. In his mind, he immediately thought of something more important. He smiled faintly and changed the topic. "If I'm not wrong, he said. We should be going to the church now, right?"

Sophie suddenly woke up and looked up at the sky. She smiled faintly, "Don't worry, they should still be on the way back. . . Sir, you should slowly enjoy your beautiful bar. Sophie would be disappointed if not because this was a new way of making wine that Yun Chang thought about for an entire day. . . Don't let down her good intentions!" At the end of her sentence, Sophie had already filled Lee Xiang's glass.

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned and did not understand what she meant by saying so. Sophie continued, "Yun Chang was Sophie's maid since she was young. Although she is a yellow person, we are like sisters. If the adults are interested, I can. . . "

"What?" Lee Xiang coughed a few times and spat out the wine in his mouth.

"I can tell that you are more interested in her than Sophie, so. . . Just take it as Sophie's helpless action to please you!" Sophie faintly looked at Lee Xiang. She was very surprised in her heart, because she herself did not know why she would say such words. To be honest, At this moment, she was also completely confused. She did not know what exactly she was thinking. She hoped that Lee Xiang would agree to her request, and at the same time, she hoped that Lee Xiang would give her more time to think about it. It was such a contradictory idea that finally decided to give Yun Chang up. Yun Chang was her taboo. In the past, many aristocrats in the empire had asked her for Yun Chang's beauty because they coveted her. However, they were all rejected by her without hesitation. At this moment, she took the initiative to say such words. How could she not be surprised? She still couldn't figure out why she was so nervous all of a sudden. But later on, she understood this principle. Because her heart was a little messy. Strictly speaking, it should be because her heart was completely disturbed by Lee Xiang's words just now. It was also because of Lee Xiang's words. It caused her to lose her usual calmness and calmness.

"Is that so?" Lee Xiang asked back awkwardly. She actually saw through it!

"Isn't it?" Sophie stared at Lee Xiang with her beautiful eyes.

He quickly poured the rest of the wine into his mouth and nodded approvingly. He even praised her repeatedly. After putting down the wine cup, Lee Xiang looked at Sophie's face and gently held her delicate hand in his hand. He smiled and said, "Madam may not understand one thing. Yun Chang is different from Madam. Madam's beauty made Lee Xiang feel like he could only look at her from afar and not be molested. Sometimes you are like an angel. It was so holy that it gave people an unapproachable feeling. It was also because of this feeling. It made many people unconsciously kneel under your pomegranate skirt and willingly become your subjects under your skirt. And sometimes, You're just a simple woman, a woman so pure that all men fall in love with you. . . "

Sophie's pretty face turned red again, and she finally could not resist Lee Xiang's aggressive eyes and lowered her head. She whispered, "Is it that good? She did not expect that the adults could say such pleasant words. Regardless of whether it was true or not, In any case, Sophie loves to listen. I originally thought that you only know how to play the zither and enjoy the flowers. . . "

Lee Xiang smiled brightly. " When playing the zither, you must give it a sound. I can only say the same thing to someone like my wife. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to others. "

" That might not be the case! " Sophie glanced at Lee Xiang and quietly let him hold her hands. She did not seem to want to take them back. "You still haven't told me how you feel about Yun Chang?"

"Yun Chang is different from the madam. The first feeling she gives people is pity. Men's pity! These two interests are different! Many people like the former, and many people like the latter. . . This is based on men's interests!" Lee Xiang secretly sighed. There were many times when, for the sake of his own interests, there were some mushy words that he had no choice but to say. However, he didn't lie.

"Then, what do you like more about that kind of thing, my lord?" Sophie asked again.

"It's not about whether I appreciate it or not! It is a question of the degree of difficulty. . . " Lee Xiang smiled faintly. "For me, to be able to conquer a person like Madam is actually a kind of challenge. Compared to that, if Yun Chang was in my place, I am afraid there would be a lot less sense of accomplishment. "

Sophie was slightly stunned. She had never thought that there would be such an innovative evaluation of a woman, even though Lee Xiang only gave him an ambiguous answer. To be honest, it would make a woman happy when she heard this. Of course, she was no exception.

"Alright, actually, I'm more interested in Master Dekker in Madam's residence now. Madam, please tell me about him!" Lee Xiang changed the topic. At the same time, he moved his hand away from Sophie's hand without hesitation.

Yes, there was nothing that could make him more interested in that dwarf now. Instinct told him that this dwarf might not be as simple as a dwarf.

Sophie gave Lee Xiang a glance. For some reason, every time she chatted with this man who was much younger than her, her impression of him would increase a little. Unknowingly, she suddenly had an idea that made her heart beat faster.

Sooner or later, her heart might really be captured by this man! She could even conclude that. . . This day did not seem to be far away. To be honest, she actually had a faint anticipation just now. Thinking of this, her cheeks couldn't help but heat up. Then, she felt that this feeling had reached the deepest part of her heart. Her heart, which had been calm for many years, began to become restless and restless.
