Chapter 26
“It feels so good to be free again!”

Lacus looked at Lu Qi gratefully, and said with a long sigh of relief, "You don't even know how miserable I am today."

"Actually, I can feel it a little bit."

Lu Qi continued to drink tea, recalling the scene just now.

Miss Crownguard this morning is, I am afraid, as Augatha said, atoning for her sins.

"Let's not talk about this! Let's eat cake!"

Lacus's shining eyes were all focused on the exquisite cake box, and she said happily: "This is the one I usually like to go to the most. I thought it would be a waste of time today, thank you so much."

"It's fine if it suits you."

Lu Qi smiled.

"As a thank you, I'm willing to share half of this cake!"

Lacus's tone was very generous. She opened the cake box, and there were exquisite strawberry cakes and two small forks inside.

But seeing a strawberry placed alone on it, Lacus was a little embarrassed.

How can a strawberry be evenly divided into two parts?

Lu Qi said politely: "No need, I'll just watch you eat."

Lacus disagreed on the spot: "How can it be done, it must be divided! I will leave it to you to divide!"

"Don't bother, I'll just eat a little."

Lu Qi said, picked up the small fork, forked it very precisely on the strawberry, and ate it in one bite.

Lacus froze on the spot, watching the bright red strawberry fall into Lu Qi's mouth.

"It's not that I'm greedy. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. Miss Crown Guard is such a nice person."

Lu Qi finished eating in satisfaction, and said with emotion.

When he thought that he had already secretly eaten a portion on the way here, his conscience couldn't help but ache.

Lacus is such a kind and good girl.

"Just be happy if you are."

Lacus said with a forced smile, at this moment, her heart seems to be bleeding!

It's as if, who doesn't like eating strawberries the most!
She lowered her head and looked at the strawberry cake without strawberries, her eyes lost.

soul!

Strawberry cake without strawberries is equivalent to having no soul!
But today, the guests must be taken care of first.

Lacus, be strong!
Lux's sadness is visible to the naked eye, and it's not difficult for Lu Qi to find it: "You seem to be sad. Is that strawberry very important to you?"

Hear this question.

Feeling aggrieved, Lux still couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, Lu Qi asked the question knowingly. He saw that Miss Guanwei always looked very happy, so he couldn't help but want to tease her.

So he went on to say: "Actually, I already ate a portion on the way here."

Lacus raised her head and looked at Lu Qi in disbelief: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Don't you know that strawberries are the soul of the cake? You've already eaten a portion!"

"If I had known this, I would have said it just now."

Lu Qi said innocently.

"You you you are too much!"

Seeing the innocent expression of the guy in front of her, Lux finally saw through the guy's true colors!

I can't stand it anymore!
Two servings of strawberry cake, this guy has two strawberries to himself!

Then leave her with a strawberry cake without strawberries!

He clearly did it on purpose!
Excessive!

Lacus has never seen such a bad person since she grew up so big!

"Then do you still eat?"

Lu Qi had fixed his eyes on the cake, and stretched out his sinful hand.

"stop!"

Lux immediately realized that picking up the cake was a ten-meter sprint.

Seeing this, Lu Qi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that strawberries are the soul, and you want a cake without a soul?"

"The soul is important, but it doesn't work without the drag of the body, so both are equally important!"

Lux plausibly said that she must get one of the soul and the body!
Immediately she began to eat, and it looked quite cute. Even though she was a little angry now, the sweetness of the cream still made Miss Guanwei feel a little bit of happiness.

After eating the cake, Lux's mood seemed to recover a lot.

She sat back down again, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "I almost forgot that you are a guest. For the sake of helping me regain my freedom, I will forgive you about the strawberries."

I was so angry by this guy just now that I almost lost my sense of proportion.

This is unladylike!

"Thank you Miss Crownguard for being so generous."

Lu Qi said with a smile.

"but!"

Unexpectedly, Lacus changed the subject, and said later, "You have to do me a favor!"

Lu Qi asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"It's definitely not difficult for you." Lux glanced outside the living room and whispered unconsciously, "Go and tell my mother to let her agree to my going out in the afternoon."

"It's so simple, can't you just say it?"

Lu Qi leisurely took a sip of tea.

"If it's that simple, will I still be grounded in the morning?" Lacus glared at Lu Qi and urged, "Go!"

"Ok."

Lu Qi finished his tea, stood up, and walked out of the living room.

Lux also stood up, followed carefully, and reminded: "My mother should be in the penultimate room in the corridor."

Lu Qi nodded, there were not many rooms, so he found it in no time.

He came to the door of the room, knocked on the door, and said, "Aunt Augesa, are you there?"

"I'm here, the door is unlocked, just push it open."

Augatha's voice came from inside.

When Lu Qi heard this, he pushed the door open, and Augesa was wearing round-rimmed glasses, embroidering something with a needle and thread, which seemed to be a classical painting.

I didn't expect that people here also like to play this.

When Augesa saw Lu Qi coming in, she put down what she was doing and asked kindly, "What's the matter?"

"I want to go to other places in the capital in the afternoon, but I'm not familiar with many places by myself, so I want to ask Lacus to take me there to get to know each other."

Lu Qi found a very good reason.

But Augusta still asked suspiciously: "Did that girl Lacus call you here?"

I have to say that as a mother, she really knows her daughter too well.

This intuition is too keen.

Lu Qi shook his head: "Of course not, it's purely my own idea."

"Really, then you really found the right person." Augsa didn't think too much, and said with a smile, "I think, no one knows the capital better than that girl Lacus, and she spends all day shopping around. Cheerful."

Lu Qi asked: "Then do you agree?"

"What's wrong with this, go ahead, just don't miss the time for dinner."

Augesa seemed to be very tolerant towards him, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Lu Qi thanked, turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.

After leaving the room, he saw Lux peeking out a small head from the wall over there.

Then, Lu Qi raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.

Lacus immediately beamed with joy, and walked out confidently and boldly.

She had just come out when the door opened and Augtha stepped out.

It directly startled Lacus, and she quickly shrank back.

"What is this child hiding?"

Augesa gave her a strange look, and said, "It's still the same sentence, don't patronize yourself to play after you go out, and take care of His Highness the Second Prince, understand?"

"Know!"

Lux immediately straightened her body, as if a soldier had received a very important mission.
