Chapter 46

In early September, the temperature of Emperor Star gradually cooled down.

Just two days after returning to Emperor Star, Chu Xiao's birthday arrived, and Shen Ruo was brought back to the Duke's Mansion by him. Tonight is his adult birthday party.

In the case of Cross, September will continue to be hot for a while longer.

Shen Ruo was sitting on the rattan chair in the flower room on the second floor of the reception building. The window was open and the cool wind blew in, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing. It was really pleasant to stay here, but he was extremely sad.

The light screen in front of him was still on the chat interface, it was Shen Ping.

Almost every week, Shen Ping would ask Shen Ruo about his situation, if he was eating well, but he didn't dare to mention the matter of going home, and he didn't dare to say more about Cross Star, for fear that Shen Ruo would miss home. .

Shen Hong and Shen Yi were only able to chat with Shen Ruo for a word or two at this time. After all, their family owed Shen Ruo, so under Shen Ping's signal, the two didn't say anything that would make Shen Ruo think about it. distressing things at home.

Shen Yi was not in good health, Shen Ruo asked her a few words, knowing that she was recovering well now, so she didn't say anything.

And Shen Yi knew that if it wasn't for the credit points she got from the Chu family, she wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Only with money can she buy medicines and nutritional products with better curative effects.

Guilt made Shen Ping's family cautious in front of Shen Ruo, and they were afraid that he would miss home, so they didn't contact them very often.

The chat had already ended, and when Shen Ruo saw that the light screen was still there, he turned it off, frowning in distress.

Chu Xiao told him about the marriage again in the morning, saying that he could go directly to get the certificate today. As for the wedding, we will discuss it later.

Shen Ruo was full of reluctance, but after Chu Xiao got up, Duke Chu called him away. He thought about it for a long time and still didn't say it.

Tonight's banquet was very formal, and Chu Xiao's father and stepmother also returned.

Shen Ruo had already met Duke Chu yesterday afternoon. As for Utiya, he had met him last time.

Between Chu Xiao's eyebrows, there is his father's toughness and handsomeness, and the father and son are somewhat similar.

It's just that Chu Xiao lacks that majesty and unsmiling smile. He was born handsome and handsome, and he is still different from Duke Chu. The man who has been in the front line for a long time and is in a high position has no expression, his appearance is firm and tough, and he looks very majestic.

In terms of appearance, Chu Xiao is actually better, but in terms of momentum, the middle-aged man who has been in the military all the year round gives people a sense of oppression.

The matter of obtaining the certificate is relatively simple. It is enough for him to bring the gene chip and the identity chip. Chu Xiao said it easily and asked him to prepare.

But for Shen Ruo, it was a very difficult and reluctant thing. He knew that the Chu family would find someone who was right for him in the future for Chu Xiao.

In the main building, because the Duke and Duchess of Chu came back, the servants in the house seemed to be nervous.

So Shen Ruo didn't wander around in the main building, he remembered the flower room on the side of the reception building, so he wanted to come and hide, afraid that Chu Xiao would actually take him to collect the certificate.

When going upstairs, when Shen Ruo saw the stairs he fell down last time, he had lingering fears, and the pace of hurrying to escape slowed down a lot.

Shen Ruo with an ostrich mentality felt that as long as Chu Xiao couldn't find him, he could avoid the matter of obtaining the certificate today, thinking about how long it could be delayed.

Unfortunately, after hearing the footsteps outside the flower room, his abacus was still in vain. After Chu Xiao came out of his father's study, he found that Shen Ruo was not in the room, and found him on the surveillance in the mansion.

Tell the system Shen Ruo's name, and the monitoring will run on its own. The process of finding him takes less than a minute, which is easy for Chu Xiao. He never thought that Shen Ruo was hiding from him. .

The rattan chair was for two, and Chu Xiao sat down beside Shen Ruo.

Arms wrapped around Shen Ruo's waist from behind, Chu Xiao seemed to be in a good mood.

He didn't tell anyone in the Chu family that he wanted to get the certificate with Shen Ruo. He knew that if he said this in advance, his stepmother would definitely obstruct him, so he planned to kill it first and then file it. his legal partner.

Leaning over and kissing Shen Ruo's face, Chu Xiao said, "There is nothing else to do now, go get the certificate."

He said that he was about to get up, a little impatient.

To be honest, Chu Xiao was so anxious to get the certificate, which made Shen Ruo very puzzled. He knew that Chu Xiao didn't like him, but he could marry him because he wanted to do that kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruo's eyes darkened.

Seeing that Shen Ruo didn't move, Chu Xiao had to sit down beside him again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Shen Ruo, "You don't want to?"

Turning to look at Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo looked timid, but he still whispered: "No, it's just getting the certificate, it's too early."

Chu Xiao's expression made Shen Ruo not dare to say that he didn't want to, for fear of annoyed him, he could only deny it.

"You're only eighteen, and so am I, too young."

When Shen Ruo spoke, she looked at Chu Xiao carefully, and noticed that he had a tendency to sink his face, and immediately said, "It's too early, you can, you can wait."

"You haven't even finished college, you've just started."

Shen Ruo was anxious, because she was really afraid that Chu Xiao would drag him to get the marriage certificate, and racked her brains trying to figure out why.

Chu Xiao watched from the side, Shen Ruo didn't speak loudly, and looked at him with those pitiful eyes, obviously refusing.

However, Shen Ruo has been very obedient for the past month and has not bothered about things, so that Chu Xiao rarely loses his temper again.

In fact, what Shen Ruo said was not unreasonable. It seemed too early to get married just after the age of eighteen.

"I didn't think about getting married so early."

Seeing that Chu Xiao didn't speak, Shen Ruo had no choice but to keep talking, he wanted to convince Chu Xiao.

"It's not impossible, but..."

Shen Ruo suddenly became nervous, he looked at Chu Xiao intently, waiting for him to speak.

"You have to express something, otherwise I've been preparing for so long, and I can't be in vain."

Chu Xiao opened his mouth slowly, his magnetic voice was low, he looked at Shen Ruoyi and pointed something, and when he heard it, he was seeking benefits. Shen Ruo was very obedient during this time, and he looked at him with those pitiful eyes, he didn't really want to force Shen Ruo. like.

As for what he said about preparing for so long, it was actually nothing at all. For him, it was just a certificate, and it was with Shen Ruo. Although he just said this on a whim, he didn’t even make mental preparations for a long time. Just accepted.

For Chu Xiao, as long as people stay by his side obediently and don't mess around, it's not that he doesn't want to be nice to Shen Ruo.

Seeing that there was room for things to turn around, Shen Ruo let out a long sigh of relief, as long as Chu Xiao could let go.

But this "representation" is a bit tricky.

It's not that Shen Ruo didn't know Chu Xiao's thoughts, but he was still a little afraid, how could he really do that kind of thing.

After thinking for a while, Shen Ruo raised her head and looked at Chu Xiao who was sitting next to him. She gathered up her courage and lightly stamped on Chu Xiao's cheek, and quickly retreated.

Looking at Chu Xiao nervously, Shen Ruo didn't know if she could succeed like this.

During this period of time, whether it was in scenic spots on other planets or on the starship, Chu Xiao would always kiss him, and he didn't get bored at all. He seemed to like kissing, so he did this.

The Adam's apple moved slightly, because it was the first time that Shen Ruo took the initiative to kiss him, and Chu Xiao had an obvious smile on his face, but he quickly restrained himself and said with a straight face, "Is that so?"

Chu Xiao was dissatisfied, and Shen Ruo was a little embarrassed, but in order not to get the certificate, he leaned over and kissed again.

It should be alright now, Shen Ruo looked at Chu Xiao eagerly.

"If you want to go get the certificate, just say so."

Chu Xiao was still dissatisfied, he even frowned, only kissed the cheek, and left as soon as they touched it, in his eyes, it was really not "sincere" enough.

There was no other way, Shen Ruo had to kiss Chu Xiao's thin lips, but it still didn't satisfy him. In the end, he kissed with red ears, and finally let Chu Xiao give up the idea of ​​getting the certificate.

Shen Ruo wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, he didn't dare to look at Chu Xiao.

"It's my birthday today." Chu Xiao said, and seeing Shen Ruo looking at him in confusion, he pinched the white and tender face.

"So your present?"

This is the first time that have never asked anyone for a birthday present, so Chu Xiao's voice is not very loud when he speaks.

Moreover, Chu Xiao didn't care much about this before, and even hated this kind of birthday party for a few years.

It's the same thing when it's not a birthday, a group of people gathered together hypocritically, hypocritical and boring, even today he didn't want to go there, but he thought that he would be able to get a certificate with Shen Ruo when his birthday came, and his mood was much better.

Shen Ruo was stunned on the spot, and after seeing that Chu Xiao's face was not good, he hesitantly said, "I haven't chosen yet."

The voice was very small, Shen Ruo lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chu Xiao, sitting there holding the edge of her pants, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

They only returned to Emperor Star the day before yesterday afternoon, stayed at the university for one night, and went to the Duke's residence yesterday.

As for gifts, he really thought about buying one, and he also searched on the star network, but he thought that Chu Xiao had everything, and the money in his hand might not be able to buy any better gifts in Emperor Star, if it was cheap, Shen Ruo was a little afraid that Chu Xiao would dislike it.

Having lived with Chu Xiao in Dixing for so long, Shen Ruo knew that what he usually eats was at a price he never dared to imagine before.

And as the time came, Shen Ruo was very distressed when she thought about getting the certificate. Last night, she had been thinking about how to refuse, but she couldn't see anything about the gift.

"Did you forget?"

Chu Xiao's voice was cold. Seeing Shen Ruo's guilty conscience like this, he almost hit the nail on the head.

Shen Ruo was so coldly questioned, he lowered his head and apologized to Chu Xiao in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

This is to admit, he didn't take it to heart at all, and Chu Xiao, who was so angry, had a feeling of gnashing his teeth.

"It's ok without a gift." Chu Xiao endured the inexplicable anger, and as he spoke, he leaned into Shen Ruo's ear and said the following words.

"Give you to me."

The whisper in his ear made Shen Ruo panic, he looked up at Chu Xiao, his eyes were full of panic.

As Chu Xiao thought about it, he felt that it was not bad, and Jun's face brightened instantly with a smile on his face.

"I've bought everything. Didn't you see it last time, you know what to do."

Chu Xiao's magnetic sound brought a smile, and he touched Shen Ruo's head.

He was talking about what happened on the starship. The starship was sailing in the starry sky, and the two of them had nothing else to do on it. Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo to cook for him, while he opened his brain.

After Shen Ruo finished the meal and brought out the plate, Chu Xiao called him to go to the sofa.

Unexplained Shen Ruo passed by, he thought there was something wrong, Chu Xiao was using the light screen to see things, and he couldn't see it from the back in the set mode.

But when Chu Xiao pulled Shen Ruo into his arms and sat on the sofa together, and saw the scene on the screen clearly, Shen Ruo immediately blushed and lowered his head to dare not look at it.

But Chu Xiao stuck the hearing chip behind his ear, and the sound immediately entered Shen Ruo's ears. He wanted to reach out and remove the chip, but Chu Xiao stopped him and deliberately amplified the sound.

When Shen Ruo was bullied and almost cried, Chu Xiao stopped and turned off the light screen.

It was passed on to him when was chatting with Jiang Chen before, saying that it was to let him prepare in advance, and he had to know what to do in advance.

Jiang Chen's selection of films is very good, at least not spicy eyes, those two are considered good-looking and good-looking, as for the content, it can be said to be a decent basic tutorial, and there are not so many messy things.

Chu Xiao was waiting for Shen Ruo to cook, so he opened it when he was bored, thinking about Shen Ruo, and didn't like seeing the faces of the two people inside, so he coded their faces.

But after he saw Shen Ruo, he became interested. He called people over seriously, hugged him in his arms and bullied him, but he didn't do anything, just deliberately made Shen Ruo panic and at a loss, but he couldn't escape. It's just that Shen Ruo's movement made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The memory made Shen Ruoteng blushed. In fact, he didn't see much, he kept his head down or closed his eyes, but he heard more.

"After the banquet tonight, go back to the room together."

Chu Xiao's Adam's apple slipped, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in Shen Ruo's ear.

At this time, Chu Xiao's light brain rang. It was the housekeeper. Whether he wanted to celebrate his birthday or not, the Duke's Mansion invited a lot of people. Today was really busy. Chu Xiao had to rub Shen Ruo's head and left here. .

Shen Ruoshun smoothed the ruffled hair, her face was a little pale, and she was no longer as hot as before. Chu Xiao's words made him afraid.

And not long after Chu Xiao left, Shen Ruo hadn't figured out how to reject him, and someone came again in the flower room.

"lady."

After seeing Utiya, Shen Ruo immediately stood up from the rattan chair, obviously nervous.

The red lips are gorgeous, and Utiya is even more beautiful than in the video. She looked at Shen Ruo, smiled with her lips hooked, and walked to the flower stand to pull out a fresh pink rose.

"Shen Ruo, Lance's fate, you also know."

Utia spoke slowly and methodically, she grabbed a rose petal and gently twisted it in her hand.

During the trip, Shen Ruo knew that Lance had been sentenced. With the fight of his mother's family, it was finally reduced by a few months, but he still had to spend a few years in prison.

Intentional homicide and finally attempted homicide, even if it comes out, the road ahead may not be easy.

Unless he can find a backer with a higher background in Emperor Star, he will always have a criminal record in his light brain, which is not a miracle in the so-called upper circle of Emperor Star.

Shen Ruo didn't know what Chu Xiao did in this matter. When he was on the starship, Chu Xiao once asked him to sign a few documents. He knew it was about Lance, but Chu Xiao hid the content. didn't tell him.

Shen Ruo had seen his interrogation video, and Lance said that he didn't care about those innocent people who were implicated. He was really crazy and paranoid, and he didn't know how to treat this demihuman.

But he had seen the look in Lance's eyes when he looked at Chu Xiao, with love and nostalgia.

Shen Ruo knew Lance's fate.

In response to Shen Ruo's silent reaction, Utiya smiled. She didn't stay here for long, her red lips slightly opened: "If you want to leave, you can come to me."

After Utiya said this, she left, leaving Shen Ruo alone.
