2067 entangled life
“I'm serious. I drove here from New Orleans because I missed you. I just wanted to see your eyes..”
Renly's deep voice sounded like a cello, and Rooney couldn't help but think of the laziness and sexiness of early morning time in her mind. The curves of her body wrapped in white sheets were rising and falling, and she had just woken up. His voice was slightly hoarse, and the lazy tone was like feathers blowing in his ears. He couldn't help but start to blush, and the shyness that made his hands and feet curl up instantly swept from his toes to the top of his head..
Before she realized it, Rooney closed her eyes. Although she was sure that the relationship was about to reach the first anniversary, the pounding throbbing in her heart was still surging. She had to force herself to open her eyes and try to stare with them wide. Looking at Renly, "Foul, you're committing a foul.！”
“Now there are only two of us, what is a foul?" Renly was rarely seen playing tricks, which made Rooney start to feel itchy involuntarily..
But this time Rooney did not look away, but carefully traced Renly's facial features with her eyes. The attachment deep in her eyes surged slightly, "You have lost weight." Rooney felt a little distressed..
Renly was originally a strong type and looked very thin when wearing clothes. But now, Renly's facial lines have become even thinner. Obviously, this period of time was both hard work and psychological torture. The thin facial lines become tighter.
Renly raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I will work hard to gain weight. Believe me, I am really working hard.".”
Rooney could catch the hint of depression in Renly's voice, "They're not worth it, you know？”
Although they were clueless, both Renly and Rooney knew exactly who they were referring to..
“Yeah. I know." Renly nodded slightly, but this time, he did not continue to hide it, and a shallow smile curved at the corner of his mouth, "But even if you know, some things are still so simple after all. It seems, I am still a mortal after all.”
Rooney chuckled, "Fortunately, if you weren't, I wouldn't be able to be by your side. Don't you know how much effort I put into being able to stand by your side without looking as insignificant as possible? ?" Rooney wrinkled her nose and narrowed her eyes, saying exaggeratedly, "Really, really hard! Sometimes, you can let me know that you are not so perfect. Do you know how happy I am?？”
That funny and relaxed tone made Renly's smile brighter..
After the joke was over, Rooney continued, "Renly, we are also allowed to hate them." They are equal to parents..
Renly's smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, but there was a bit of sadness deep in his eyes, "I know." Even so, the weight of these words weighed heavily on his heart, making his whole body relax. "By the way, after Toronto, I will return to London. Arthur has arranged a charity auction. Are you willing to attend?？”
charity auction！
Although Renly did not explain in detail, Rooney immediately understood that it was the occasion when Renly announced his return to London, and it was also the clarion call for Renly to officially declare war..
Being willing to invite Rooney to attend also means that she will make her official debut for the first time - whether she attends as Renly's female companion or not, Rooney will officially face Renly's family. At least, she can see Arthur, and maybe also There was Edith and Elf, even George and Elizabeth.
After taking a long breath, Rooney looked slightly nervous..
Renly couldn't help but chuckle, which made Rooney protest, "I'm fine, I'm really fine, I'm just not used to it. You know, the hereditary nobles in London always look down upon us nouveau riche..”
“So, this time you're Jack and I'm Ruth? "Renly's interpretation made Rooney slightly stunned, and then she couldn't help but clapped her hands and burst into laughter. She couldn't stop at all..
Looking at Renly who was calm and calm, Rooney knew that there were still some turbulence deep in his heart. She needed to stay by his side unswervingly, "Do you need me to donate any auction items? I mean, in a private capacity ; In addition, I can also gather some friends to go to London to participate in the auction. You know, everyone always wants to contribute to charity..”
Rooney also knows the significance of charity auctions.
Ostensibly an auction held for charity, it is actually a networking event for the elite and upper class.
For example, Renly invited guests that no one else could invite; Renly got the auction collections that others couldn't get. This is soft power. For another example, it is impossible for a person of Prince William's level to just do it casually Attending the charity auction - because the royal family cannot squander expenses at will, all expenses must be reported, but attending Renly's auction, this is an irreplaceable honor.
In other words, holding a charity auction in Renly's name, the quality of the guests attending, the value of the auction items, the total transaction amount... and so on, are all prestige other than money. This is also the case for the ladies of the upper class. We are busy with things every day, so don’t underestimate the power of women in the family structure. They are often able to create value for their husbands that cannot be measured by money, which indirectly proves once again the principle of "How can you sweep the world without sweeping one house?".
Rooney not only attended the charity auction by herself, but also invited her friends from her life circle to attend, so the weight is not trivial.——
Don’t forget that Rooney is backed by a family that owns two of the world’s most valuable teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants. The connections owned by the Rooney family far exceed the abilities of George Hall, a down-and-out hereditary baron. , even Renly, who was rooted in Eton College, may not be able to match.
“are you sure? "Renly asked, because he himself also knew clearly that using family connections is a very annoying and torturous thing. What really affects the whole body is that one person knows, and in the blink of an eye, the whole family is up and down. Everyone knows everything, and then they have to undergo all kinds of interrogations and tortures, endlessly.
Rooney understood immediately, "Don't worry, I still have some friends. Our family relationship is very complicated, but compared to you, it's pretty simple, and we usually don't interfere in each other's lives. , because the family is really too complex and too many. I probably haven’t told you, but my father’s side has twelve brothers and sisters. Believe me, the last thing we want to interfere with is each other’s lives..”
twelve.
Renly pursed his lips and showed a meaningful expression, which made Rooney laugh happily, "What I should ask now is, are you sure? If the wedding is held, the scene should be very spectacular..”
“wedding? oh? Are we already progressing that fast? Wow, I can't keep up." Renly raised his eyebrows and said exaggeratedly..
Only then did Rooney realize her mistake, "Example, give an example, I just gave an example." But seeing Renly's expression that was half-smiling but not smiling, Rooney was also frustrated, and she lay on the bed in annoyance, with her hands flat. He stretched out his hand, seemingly making a gesture of worship or surrender, and muttered dejectedly, "I'm really just giving an example.".”
“It's so sad. Don't you want to marry me? "Renly's deep voice sounded in his ears again..
Plop! Plop-plop-plop-plop！
The muscles all over Rooney's body tensed up, and the anticipation and excitement were like electricity. Her whole body began to feel numb, and her happiness exploded. She was shy and happy at the same time; but it only lasted for a moment, and Rooney suddenly He sat up straight and widened his eyes like a pufferfish, "You did it on purpose, right?？”
Looking at Renly's innocent expression, Rooney was keenly aware of the abnormality, "Every time you say sweet words, you will deliberately lower your voice, making your voice sound like a cello, with the mellow aroma of red wine. To be honest, , this is your trump card to please girls, right?？”
“Red wine. Um...Thank you for the compliment. Why didn't I notice it before?" Renly's focus seemed to have completely shifted, which made Rooney bite her lower lip tightly. She raised her hand to pick up the pillow on the bed and moved toward it. Renly smashed it, but the strength was not enough, and the pillow was directly held in Renly's arms..
Rooney was also stunned.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Rooney, who was about to stand up, immediately stopped. Inexplicably, she began to hold her breath and stop moving, lest others discover the secret between her and Renly. , "Rooney, we are ready, five minutes countdown.”
“Ahem." Rooney cleared her throat, "Okay, I understand, I'll be down right away." When she raised her voice to answer, Rooney listened quietly again and heard the footsteps outside the door gradually approaching. After a long distance, she finally realized, "You suddenly came to visit the class, what if everyone finds out? Wait, what if the paparazzi followed you to Cincinnati? Your driving skills are not difficult for the paparazzi to track..”
“Hey! "Renly protested again, then stood up, walked towards Rooney with a smile, and hugged her petite body to his chest, "Don't worry, they won't find out, even if they find out, they won't. I’ll say more. I came here specifically to visit you and Kate, remember? Kate and I are also good friends, and Kate will cover for us..”
“What? Kate? Kate knows? " Rooney was keenly aware of the details in Renly's words and couldn't help but exclaimed again, "How did she know?？”
Renly gently pressed down Rooney's raised head and leaned it against his chest, "Don't worry, we just need to let nature take its course. If you are discovered, then admit it frankly, this is not... Carol' or 'Brokeback Mountain', this isn't the fifties, we don't need to be so nervous.”
Renly's light and joking words made Rooney laugh again. Her mood gradually calmed down, and the sound of Renly's steady and powerful heartbeat could be heard in her ears, bang bang bang, hitting her breasts one after another. Eardrums, it’s as if the whole world has quieted down, leaving only the sound of the heartbeat in the ears.
