2250 Feng shui takes turns
The hoarse and mellow voice played gently in the ear, like a cello, faintly revealing a hint of danger. The temptation that wandered on the edge of evil not only did not cause fear, but instead caused hormones to start surging, and butterflies deep in the lower abdomen. They flap their wings one after another, and the adrenaline in their blood is flowing rapidly..
Rooney stood on tiptoes again and whispered in Renly's ear, "I don't regret it..”
After saying that, Rooney blinked at Renly, with a trace of provocative cunning flowing from the depths of his eyes, which made the chemical reaction between the two people more intense..
But Renly still controlled the surge of emotions, because he knew that there were more important things waiting for him tonight. He just looked at Rooney carefully with his eyes. The waves flowing deep in his eyes were really meaningful..
This made Rooney a little embarrassed. She lowered her gaze and tried to change the subject. "Do you need a little help?" She raised her hand to help Renly adjust his tie..
Tonight, Renly chose a formal hand-made suit, which was extremely complicated to put on. Without help, it would be impossible to complete the suit..
Just now, Renly was getting dressed with Phillip's help..
In previous charity auctions, Renly was not so grand and formal; but tonight's Christmas dinner, Renly chose to treat it with the highest standards. It can be seen from the small details that this is the occasion that Renly really cares about. .Although Renly did not show any nervousness, the choice of suit still revealed his concern..
Hidden under the appearance of a calm gentleman, Renly also has his own ups and downs..
Rooney could also sense it, but she didn't say anything. She just carefully arranged Renly's tie and said with a smile, "It's going to be a wonderful night, just like 'Love Actually'".”
Renly laughed dumbly, "I don't want to be the guy standing outside the door holding a sign to confess. This is not the Christmas atmosphere I expected..”
Rooney couldn't help but smile, but she blinked at Renly, "Who knows? Maybe I have been looking forward to such a surprise. What do you think?？”
“Aha. This lady who kept stressing to me that she would never date the same person two days in a row is now looking forward to the scenes in romantic comedies. What is going on? There seems to be something wrong with the character." Renly teased in a decent manner, making Rooney laugh happily..
Then, Renly made an invitation gesture, Rooney took his right arm, and the two of them left the room and headed towards the first floor..
The dinner party slowly kicked off.
A few interesting things happened at the Christmas dinner in the Prince's Garden.
One is about Roman Abramovich. After the Russian tycoon extended a helping hand to help Renly, he never made any demands - this is a truly brilliant work, a favor that "does not ask for anything in return". It is always the biggest bargaining chip in the interpersonal communication process.
Roman didn't say anything, and Renly wasn't in a hurry, but Renly still showed his friendliness and sent an invitation to the Abramovich and his wife for a Christmas dinner..
Roman did not show up, he and his family did not stay in London, and the specific whereabouts are unknown - it was rumored that they went to a Mediterranean island for vacation; but Roman still asked his butler to give a Christmas gift, and on Christmas Day On the day of the festival, I had a friendly phone call with Renly.
The second is the meeting between Rooney and Chris, or should I say, the meeting between Rooney and Edith and Arthur..
This is the first time Rooney has officially stood in front of more than one Hall. Just like Renly picked on Chris, Edith and Arthur will naturally not let Rooney off easily; but it is unexpected but reasonable What's amazing is that Rooney's performance was very calm, not nervous at all and not panicked at all..
When Renly and Rooney appeared on the first floor hand in hand, Edith couldn't wait to step forward and boldly issued a challenge, "Renly, can I borrow Miss Mara?" Feng Shui turned, At first it was Renly who was picky about everything, but now it's Edith's turn. She will definitely not show mercy. Now it depends on whether this "Rooney Mara" can resist it..
Renly didn't stop.
Rooney took the initiative and smiled at Edith, "Of course, this is my honor. Can Miss Edith show me around?" The words imply that Edith is the host and she is the guest. On the contrary, It's giving up the initiative..
Edith cast a glance at Renly, as if to say: She is very powerful.！
This is also true.
She was nervous, but as the third generation of two big families from the East Coast of the United States, such a social occasion was not too difficult for Rooney..
Edith deliberately took away Rooney, and then "isolated" Renly to avoid Renly's interference, trying to put pressure on Rooney face to face, just like when Chris Evans visited Renly for the first time. Same - and that guy Matthew was also present at the time; but Edith's idea failed to succeed. After the initial awkwardness, Rooney gradually entered the state, successfully controlled the situation, and had a great conversation..
Entering the second half of the dinner, Rooney even stood alone with Edith, whispering and whispering to each other - it was unclear whether they could be regarded as friends, but the atmosphere was indeed very pleasant, and even Renly and Arthur were full of joy. He looked surprised. He never expected Edith to be so "easy to get along with". Isn't this something wrong?？
“Are you not nervous at all? "Arthur asked Renly with some curiosity. Although Edith seemed to have no advantage in front of Renly, she was definitely not a soft persimmon; to be more precise, Edith was also a ruthless character..
“Of course I'm nervous." Renly's crispness made Arthur slightly stunned, and then he laughed happily - it was really rare to see Renly admit that he was nervous so readily..
But after the brief joy, Arthur became more and more confused..
“I believe Rooney." Renly gave the answer, "What's more, you should look at the royal family. There are other hereditary nobles who still uphold traditional concepts. In comparison, our family has not much tradition left. Prince Gardens, this is just the tip of the iceberg for London’s upper class.”
Leaving aside George and Elizabeth, the pressure of the London elite is everywhere. Whether Rooney is dating Renly or there is a possibility of further advancement in the future, she will inevitably face countless critical eyes. That kind of oppression is definitely not What the emerging aristocrats of America can imagine.
As Renly said, the Prince's Garden is just the first step. He should believe Rune.
Although the tension in his heart still lingered, Renly forced himself to calm down and handed over the situation to Rooney, allowing Rooney to play freely. No matter what the outcome was, they could wait until the banquet was over tonight and then take their time. Discuss and slowly explore, there are countless possibilities in the future.
Arthur's gaze on Renly became meaningful, and he said with a smile, "Now I finally know the similarities between you and Elf. You are both too sensible, too sensible to feel the temperature..”
“Your subtext is that you and Edith are lovers, right? "Renly was not moved at all and complained directly..
Arthur laughed happily.
But then, Arthur stopped his smile and said seriously, "I still like you better tonight." In fact, he could feel Renly's nervousness. Even though Renly concealed it very cleverly, his shoulders were slightly tense. Lines, slightly limited vision and overly calm emotions all prove that Renly's inner turmoil is far from as calm as it seems on the surface. "You know, it's not that evil, it looks like it can be defeated..”
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Do you want to try it?？”
Arthur almost choked on his own saliva.
Regardless of Rooney's back-and-forth confrontations with Edith and Arthur, Renly couldn't completely relax tonight. This was the first official banquet in the Prince's Garden, and it was also his first official banquet in London after completely breaking away from the shackles of the Hall family. Banquet, things still mean something more after all.
Throughout the night, Renly's figure appeared in every corner, and even the nervous Paul Walker could notice that Renly's posture was different from before..
Paul also brought a piece of chocolate cake to Renly, "I just think you need to add a little sugar..”
That caring look made Renly's tense nerves relax a little, "At this moment, alcohol may be more effective than sugar.".”
“But you're clearly not an alcoholic," Paul argued..
“Believe me, sugar is omnipotent, it can solve all problems." Ryan Gosling also noticed the small exchange in the corner of the dinner party, and he even took out candy from his pocket, "Or, you are more inclined to Toffee? "Ryan always had candy in his pocket, even at formal dinners - or so, this is what he found in the kitchen？
Renly laughed truly relaxedly, "Don't worry, a little fresh air will solve the problem." Even so, Renly still took the candy and chocolate cake..
“Phew. To be honest, I could use a little fresh air." Ryan lowered his voice and said, unexpectedly, but it also resonated with Paul, "That's right..”
Sensing Renly's puzzled gaze, Paul explained, "I thought this was just a dinner party between friends, and I didn't expect it to be so grand. Look at the dress I wore when I showed up? God, if Philip hadn't brought me there I changed my clothes on the second floor. I thought I might not be able to stay for a minute..”
Ryan bumped Paul with his shoulder, "That's right, have you seen the restaurant? I originally thought it was just a buffet, but it turned out to be a long formal banquet table for twenty people. The people sitting here didn't even listen. It's not like the long table the people on the other side are talking about, at least eighty feet or more. Renly, are we really going to dine there? I really don't know anything about dining etiquette..”
“Don't worry, you all know the people attending the dinner. Just talk to the people around you during the meal. It's not that scary." Renly couldn't help but explain with a chuckle..
But Paul and Ryan didn't listen at all. They just caught one meaning: they were really going to dine at a long formal banquet table..
