Chapter 8
"A small request." A slight smile suddenly appeared on Arthur's face, but it was captured by Lu Qiao. "I hope you can help bring someone to your birthday party."
"Who?"
"The information has been sent to you."
Lu Qiao turned on the optical brain according to his words.
It was a photo of a boy with milky white skin, deer-like dewy blue eyes, and light brown curly hair.
It looks like an omega.
"Luoxi—from the Jones family," he only glanced at the name on the photo, and he didn't need to read it down, just like reciting it silently, "a person on a small planet at the junction of the Black Star Belt and the Seventh Star." Fallen nobility."
"The ancestors of the Jones family started with communication technology, and the current situation is basically inferior to that of the wealthier civilian class. Well, he looks cute." He looked at Arthur with a half-smile, "I never knew you still liked Butter cake."
"That's a good analogy." Unexpectedly, Arthur nodded and admitted.
"This is the first time you have done this to an omega."
Attending with Lu Qiao means the approval of the Percy family.
Before this, the only relationship this Omega named Luoxi had with the Percy family was probably the dewy love affair with his brother Arthur who didn't know when.
Lu Qiao was indifferent to Arthur's private life, but vaguely knew that Arthur had a rich life.
An alpha in his position needs to be cautious in choosing a marriage partner, and it is easy to change lovers in private - this is the same as Arthur and Heyman.
He looked at Arthur for a while, and suddenly asked:
"Are you going to marry him?"
"This topic is too far away." Arthur didn't look up.
"An Omega from a fallen noble family in Borderlands," Lu Qiao insisted, "If you don't plan to marry him, you are harming him."
Arthur and Lu Qiao looked at each other.
"It's just a banquet," Arthur said mildly, "it won't happen."
Lu Qiao sneered, "I promise you."
"What do you want to say?"
"I said—" Lu Qiao stood up, opened the door, and left a last sentence, "Arthur, you are worthy of being Rand's heir."
Before Arthur could reply, Lu Qiao closed the door lightly and left the office.
Arthur stopped writing for a moment.
It's not because Lu Qiao called their father by his first name—in fact, Lu Qiao has always been very reluctant to call Rand his father—but the word "marriage" that Lu Qiao mentioned made him feel irresistible. I remembered Luo Xi's face.
But how is it possible.
He is not Lu Qiao, so it is impossible for him to decide his own marriage willfully.
Arthur just froze for a moment before continuing to work.
On the other side, Lu Qiao squinted her eyes to feel the sunshine from the car window.
He had to meet Luo Xi in advance.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, just today.
As expected, Luo Xi is that kind of soft and sticky little O, just like a piece of pudding.
"You, hello," his voice seemed to be full of maple syrup, a little trembling, with a stubborn and old accent-it sounded like the old aristocratic accent in the Seventh Star area, "Mr. Lu Qiao - I listen Mr Arthur has spoken of you."
Speaking of Arthur, his eyes unconsciously showed envy.
Lu Qiao simply couldn't understand why Arthur's taste had suddenly undergone such an earth-shaking change - he vaguely remembered that Arthur's previous lovers were supposed to be tall, sexy and mature.
"Hello," he lowered his voice, and his expression became gentle and amiable accordingly, "Should my brother tell you about the birthday party?"
"Yes..." Lu Qiao swore he watched Luo Xi's face turn red in less than two seconds, "I'm causing you trouble."
Luo Xi's cheeks were flushed, she looked a little uneasy, but her tone was quite sweet.
"You're welcome," he asked with great interest, "Do you like my brother very much?"
"Ah..." Luo Xi's neck turned red, "Mr. Arthur is very, very powerful..."
"You look good too, I mean, exactly as I imagined Percy's Omega," he went on, "no, uh, better than I imagined..."
He looks very shy.
Where did this little dessert come from?
Lu Qiao has seen a lot of social occasions where she talks and laughs at Yan Yan, and there are not many Omega like this.
Those other noble Omegas at the ball like to compete secretly, and the sexiness is about to come out.
Luo Xi looks very cute, just like the traditional aesthetics of alphas.
But the background is not good, it can be said that it is not good enough.
Once such an Omega arrives at a banquet, it is easy to be tactfully and mercilessly squeezed out by other nobles.
Could it be that Arthur likes this feeling of protecting little O?
Sounds like a corny story.
The rambling thoughts flashed by, and Lu Qiao didn't show any emotion on his face:
"Thank you," he smiled reservedly, "I will invite you to set off with me in advance."
"Is the banquet held at your and General Lance's residence?" Luo Xi's eyes were bright.
This is an aristocratic tradition.
"No." Unexpectedly, Lu Qiao vetoed it, "in the Church of St. Teis."
Even more unexpectedly, Luo Xi blinked and quickly replied:
"Because the celebration of the Seventh Star Army will be held there?"
The time and place of the celebration party of the Seventh Star Army has not been reported yet, and few people know that Lu Qiao's birthday and the celebration will coincide on the same day.
No one knew that Lu Qiao had planned to change the birthday party to a church.
Luo Xi reacted quite quickly - she was not the kind of Omega who didn't know the world.
"Correct."
"Mr. Arthur said that you will still hold the Seventh Star's celebration party," Luo Xi said in a low voice, "Our home is next to the Seventh Star, and we have some contacts with military officials—I mean, if you need help, I will Happy to share your worries."
"Thank you very much," Lu Qiao said meaningfully, "You know a lot."
Unexpectedly, Arthur would talk about these private matters with Luo Xi.
"Who in the imperial capital star doesn't want to be favored by you?"
Luo Xi didn't answer directly, but only sipped out two small dimples.
Very frank.
Luo Xi needs Lu Qiao's approval.
He is a small nobleman in the frontier star, and has absolutely no support in the imperial capital star.
So Lu Qiao's attitude towards him is very important.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Looking forward to seeing you again."
It was a pleasant meeting.
After returning home, Lu Qiao contacted her assistant and manager.
The celebration party is coming soon.
The report that night swiped the screen of Xingwang.
This can be said to be Quinn's first report since he took office, and it can be seen that he is very attentive.
With great momentum, the announcement of the use of live broadcast throughout the whole process has successfully aroused the expectations of the public.
Especially Lance and Quinn fans, have gone crazy
"I remember the celebration ceremony followed by the dance!"
"As usual they will dance ah ah I have a bold idea!"
"You are not alone!"
"The general and the secretary are really not a couple, are they really not?"
"I have one thing to say - I can't think of anyone other than Quinn who is more suitable to be the general's partner at the ball—"
"That's right, he is the only omega in the military department!"
Lu Qiao glanced at the report roughly.
Probably it is to innovate, to be closer to the people, to emphasize the protection of Omega rights, and to preserve some interesting cultural traditions—such as balls.
Interestingly, as the behind-the-scenes organizer of the celebration, Lu Qiao's name never appeared.
It's unimaginable to put it anywhere else.
If the other organizers didn't have this kind of presence, there might be troubles, but it was impossible for Lu Qiao to mess up Lance's celebration party.
So chop off Lu Qiao's name, don't worry about causing harm to the banquet.
"This is to dilute the influence of the traditional aristocrats..." The person in charge of the military department is explaining to Lu Qiao on the screen, "You know, after all, the seventh star military department is based on civilians, and it is also a pioneer in advancing reforms...Lance So does the general..."
Lu Qiao knew him, he was one of Lance's deputy and Quinn's colleague.
"I see, thanks."
He just smiles.
"Goodbye."
The deputy stared at the turned off screen in a daze—the general's wife was not overbearing at all, she had no temper at all, she was completely different from the legend, she was obviously reasonable and polite, and the rumors were really unbelievable.
The "reasonable" Lu Qiao turned off the screen and threw the projection ball into the garden to blow the cold wind.
"I moved my birthday party to St. Teeth's Church."
He turned on the hot water tap and left a message to Lance in the mist.
Lance returned a video call directly.
"It's rare—you have a non-busy day?"
Lu Qiao took off her coat in front of the screen, and started tearing off her bow tie -- very slowly.
"Jojo," Lance said helplessly, "who made you angry?"
"Who said I was angry?"
He pulled off his tight-fitting sweater.
"I'm in a good mood, and I'd be even better if your dear secretary hadn't sent someone to explain the details of the celebration to me."
"Don't call him that," Lance said, staring intently at his graceful lines. "Jojo—you know, to me, those three words, dear, can only be used for you."
"Well," he muffled a laugh in the towel, "do you remember?"
It turned out that Lu Qiao said this.
At that time, they had just started dating, and Lu Qiao stipulated Lance's exclusive address for him.
Including but not limited to Jojo, Baby Jo, or Honey...
"I remember everything you said."
Lu Qiao accurately captured Lance's rapid breathing.
He smiled, threw the towel on the ground, and stepped on it.
"Really? What did I say on my 18th birthday?"
"Do you need me to recite every sentence?" Lance stared at him closely, making Lu Qiao feel like he was being watched by a bird of prey.
There is a kind of nervousness that makes the hair stand on end after being targeted by natural enemies.
Or excited.
"No need..." He said in a seductive voice, "Just remember."
The splash of water drowned out Lance's breathing.
No need to look, he also knew that Lance was "restless".
People are always very sensitive to the meaningful eyes of their partners.
He gives Lance one last satisfied look, and reaches out to turn off the video—just in time for him to pull the belt out.
