Chapter 410 Keeping company
Chapter 410 Keeping company
The next second after waking up, Xu Weiwei jumped up from the bed.
Ah! It's over! I overslept!
She knew what the knocking on the door was about without asking. She remembered that she was woken up once by the alarm clock, but she was too sleepy at the time. She wanted to take a nap, but she fell asleep again.
"Miss, are you awake? Princess Sofia is here." The butler said outside the door.
"Wake up! I'll be down right away!"
In three minutes, Xu Weiwei quickly changed her clothes, combed her hair casually, and then flashed downstairs.
Sophia looked up and saw a young girl striding towards her, her skirt swinging, her arms swaying with her steps, her hair casually draped behind her head like blooming seaweed, and a majestic gray Gruson terrier following beside her.
It was completely different from the way she was dressed up when we first met. Without the gorgeous and exquisite shell, she looked more natural and had a wild beauty.
Sophia felt that Selvie was more charming like this. Even she, a woman like her, couldn't take her eyes off her. No wonder the prince liked her so much.
"Ahem, you're too punctual. I was just playing with Beta up there."
The family automatically moved a seat for her so that the two of them could sit next to each other.
"It's okay, you can come down a little later, we are talking about you."
"Talk about me? What to talk about?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
"You're a workaholic at such a young age." Mrs. Seaforth took her daughter's hand and held it on her leg.
"hey-hey."
This is true, and she has nothing to refute. In fact, she is not passionate about work. On the contrary, she is a very lazy person. Every Chinese has a Tao Yuanming in his heart, and she is no exception.
When traditional Chinese medicine is revived, she will definitely enjoy life and sleep until she wakes up naturally every day.
The two elders sat with them for a while, then found an excuse to go out for beauty treatments and left hand in hand. The princess didn't come here to accompany them. With adults around, the children couldn't let go.
After the two left, the atmosphere did become relaxed and casual.
Sophia looked at the dog begging for food at Xu Weiwei's feet: "Is its name Beta?"
"Well, he is 13 years old this year. My parents brought him home when I was one year old. He has become a big dog now." Xu Weiwei rubbed the dog's head and said with a smile.
"I remember that day was a royal banquet." Kane added, leaning back on the sofa.
"Yes, I was alone at home that day, and I was almost trampled to death by my cousins." After saying that, Xu Weiwei keenly noticed her second brother's gaze, and immediately pretended to be calm and added: "My grandma was afraid that I would not remember my childhood, so she showed me a lot of videos when I just came back."
Seeing that his second brother was no longer paying attention, Xu breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he had gotten away with it. This was too dangerous. He didn't know which sentence would give him away.
"I attend the banquet every year, but I have never seen Wei'er once," said Sophia.
"I'm not in good health. I hardly went out when I was a kid, and then I stayed on Goodall for so many years. There's nothing I can do."
"If we had met earlier, we might have been close friends for many years now." Sophia sighed.
Kane: "It's not too late now. The Seaforth Villa is not far from the palace. You should go out more often."
Xu Weiwei agreed, "Yes, yes! It seems that our fate cannot be avoided."
The maid brought a plate of cakes and refilled the teapot. Beta lay beside the table, watching eagerly.
Xu Weiwei pushed its dog head away, and then said to Sophia: "Try the Black Forest cake made by our chef. It's delicious. I usually like it."
Just as Sophia was about to reach out to take them, Kane leaned forward, grasped the tray, turned it around, and turned the other side to Sophia: "These cheese ones are not bad either."
"Yes, they are all delicious." Xu Weiwei said as she pulled Beta, who had been licking his lips, over and clamped the dog's head between her knees, fearing that it would accidentally eat the chocolate and lose its life.
Seeing this, Kane asked the servant to bring a piece of dog cake to feed Beta.
"Brother, this is too much. Beta won't be able to eat at night."
"It? It won't be able to eat? You might as well worry about whether the fish will drown." Kane said sarcastically.
Xu Weiwei: “…”
Seeing the brother and sister bickering, Sophia couldn't help but smile. Looking closely, there was a hint of envy in her eyes.
She also wanted to be able to spend such an intimate time with her younger brother, but unfortunately the missed time could never be made up.
Thinking that she came here on a mission, Sophia felt a little sad, even the cake couldn't cover it up.
Putting down the plate in her hand, Sophia smiled at Xu Wei and said, "Weier, didn't you say you would show me your herbs? I'm very curious."
"Okay, let's go."
Since the two girls had their own things to do, there was no need for Kane and Ryan to follow them. They just sat where they were, chatting over afternoon tea and reading the news.
Xu Weiwei held Sophia's hand and walked out of the side door, passed through the long pavilion covered with pink rose vines, passed the garden, and came to the glass greenhouse of the Sifos family.
Sophia stood outside, looking at the towering old tree poking out from the roof and standing in the center of the bird's nest-shaped greenhouse, and exclaimed: "How beautiful!"
Such a huge building is made entirely of curved glass, which removes the cold and hard feeling of the flat surface and gives off an artistic feeling. Although the tree is surrounded in the middle, it does not feel restricted. Instead, it looks like a hotbed and a small world deriving from it. It looks very harmonious to the naked eye.
"It's even more beautiful inside. When I get tired of reading, I like to take a walk here. Looking at these beautiful flowers and plants, my tiredness is immediately relieved." Xu Weiwei said with her hands behind her back, smiling.
"Let's go in and have a look."
“Well, who designed this building?”
"My mother came up with the idea, but I don't know who made it happen. It is said that our family had a greenhouse in the northwest corner, but it was a bit small. After my mother got married and saw this ancient tree, she immediately had an idea, and the surrounding terrain happened to be flat and open. So it became what it is now."
"That's amazing! You're worthy of studying art. Even the Royal Garden doesn't have such a unique landscape..."
"This kind of thing requires the right time, right place, and right people. Oh, by the way, did you take a video of that golden osmanthus tree? Let me see it..."
