After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 143 Meeting Family (9)

These days, Slaley has not left this desk except for eating and going to the toilet.

I would fall asleep on the table while writing, and then continue writing when I woke up.

Gu Chang looked at Slaley's bloodshot eyes and began to worry that this man might have died suddenly.

"Don't push yourself too hard, Mr. Slaley. If you collapse, who will write this book?" Gu Chang felt that he should still persuade Slaley to have a normal life.

Slaley shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Your Highness, you don't understand. Sometimes inspiration comes suddenly, and I have to catch it. Otherwise, it's like a fish merging into the sea, and no matter how hard I look, I can't find it."

"Don't worry, I will stick with it until the day this book is published." Slaley was afraid that Gu Chang would force him to rest, so he said very firmly.

"Can you let me take a look at the first draft? You can take a break while I'm reading it." As soon as Gu Chang finished speaking, he was rejected by Slaley on the spot.

"No! It's still an unborn baby, how can I show it to you in advance?" Slaley refused sternly, although the reason he used was not quite understood by Gu Chang.

But Gu Chang still respected his ideas. He would always be able to read it after Slaley finished writing it.

So Gu Chang said goodbye to Slaley first.

Claire downstairs's face darkened as she read a book.

When Gu Chang came down, Claire couldn't help but complain, "Why is this author writing such a mess?"

She only read books about aristocrats written by Slaley, so it's no wonder she said that.

Gu Chang put the book in her hand aside and said, "Please understand. He took the money after all."

When Claire heard Gu Chang say this, she understood.

These books also contain stories about the Lund family, which are praised to the skies.

They said Saminos was the reincarnation of an angel, born to glow, etc. They also said the Lund family was the closest to God, so they had the most wealth.

Claire couldn't stand Saminos's narcissistic face the most, but she also needed to have a good relationship with Helena.

Every time I chat with Helena, I have to hold back my urge to complain, because eight out of ten sentences Helena says are praising Saminos.

"That's outrageous." Claire was talking about the Lund family.

Then Gu Chang took her back to the carriage. Claire was still thinking about the contents of the book.

The Lund family was undoubtedly the wealthiest, but they were also incredibly bold. They dared to have such exaggerated books written, portraying the Lund family as a righteous and righteous family. They simply didn't even take the royal family seriously. It was a shame that Rotus could still be friends with Saminos.

Claire had previously thought the Lunds were simply a wealthy family, but now she realized they had significant ambitions. She felt she had been influenced by Helena, believing the Lunds simply wanted to favor Saminos.

Claire despised her former self in her heart for not seeing the true picture of the matter.

"Sister Claire, you don't have to think too much. The stories about aristocratic lords written by Mr. Slaley are just to satisfy these people's hobbies. I have checked and found that very few people buy these books." Gu Chang tried to comfort Claire.

After all, Claire's face looked bad from the time she got from the bookstore to the carriage.

"You're right. I don't need to think so much. Since the Lund family loves to be praised so much, let them see the cruel reality." Claire calmed down and told herself that anger would cause wrinkles and hair loss. She shouldn't be so emotional.

After the two returned to the palace in a carriage, Claire said she wanted to change her clothes for the dinner and left first.

Then Gu Chang returned to the palace where Anna was.

He arrived at the restaurant and saw that it had been carefully decorated. Anna was still instructing the maid to move the flowers on the table.

"Mother, I'm back." Gu Chang walked to Anna and said softly.

Anna heard his voice, turned around, walked over, hugged Gu Chang, and then said happily: "Where is Cedric now? He should have come earlier so that I could have the tailor measure his size and prepare a dress for him like yours."

Previously, Gu Chang had only told Anna that Cedric was a nobleman from the East, holding the title of prince. As for how old Cedric was, Gu Chang was a little vague.

"It's okay, mother. This is a family dinner, so everyone should dress comfortably." The main reason was that Cedric was a vampire and it was inconvenient for him to move around during the day.

This dinner was a family affair, but only a few people were present. The king was too ill to attend, and Queen Silvia was also ill, but she had someone bring gifts. Lotus was definitely not going to come; he didn't want to see Gu Chang. Lilia didn't come either, but she did bring gifts.

"You kid." Anna just patted Gu Chang's arm and said in a light tone: "Hurry up and change your clothes, young man."

"Then I'll leave first, mother." Gu Chang said gently, then left the restaurant.

As night falls, many candles are lit in the restaurant to keep it basically bright.

Claire walked into the restaurant with Freya's arm around her.

Tonight, Claire wore a pale pink dress with a large ruffled collar and embroidered with delicate flowers, which made her look playful and cute. Freya, on the other hand, wore a simple white shirt and black trousers.

When the two arrived, Anna was already in the restaurant to welcome them.

"Dear Freya, dear Claire, I'm very happy that you came to this dinner. I have prepared your favorite food, please sit down." Anna walked forward with a smile and led the two to their seats.

Claire looked around and asked, "Why isn't Helain here?"

"My dear, he's gone to greet the guests." Anna was in a good mood. She liked these two girls. When Helain was not around, these two girls always kept her company.

"Guest? He must be Heinlein's fiancé." Claire's eyes lit up. She was really curious about what kind of person could make her brother fall in love.

"Claire." Freya frowned slightly, wanting Claire to pay attention to her tone.

"Oh, you guys told me about the child. I wanted to keep it a little mysterious." Anna patted Freya's shoulder and sat down next to her. "Freya, this is a family dinner. We are all family. Let Claire relax for once. I know you mean well, but I want you all to relax a little."

Freya lowered her eyes, her voice slightly hoarse: "I understand, Princess Anna."

Claire blinked her round eyes and smiled slyly, "Sister Freya, it's nice to relax occasionally."

Freya didn't look at Claire, she just picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Freya has always been worried about her younger sister.

But since Princess Anna said so today, she couldn't intervene anymore.

On the other side, Gu Chang had already received Cedric.

Cedric was dressed very formally today, and even his hair was specially styled. Every strand of hair had the perfect curve.

This time he came with several attendants.

Gu Chang looked at the servants, each of whom was holding a large box. He looked at Cedric and couldn't help asking, "What did you bring?"

"Gifts for your family." Cedric raised the corners of his lips gently. "I didn't know what they liked, so I prepared some extra."

"Then let's go quickly, they are already waiting for us." Gu Chang took Cedric's hand and interlocked their fingers with his.

Cedric, who had lived for a long time, felt an inexplicable sense of tension for the first time.

However, he held Gu Chang's hand tightly, and the tension in his heart disappeared.

As long as Gu Chang is by his side, his heart will be at peace.

When Gu Chang and Cedric walked into the restaurant, Anna was the first one to see them.

"Mother, he is the fiancé I told you about, Cedric Gareth." Gu Chang's eyes were full of tenderness.

Anna walked quickly up to the two of them, she was so moved that she almost cried, "Hello, Mr. Cedric." If it weren't for Cedric, her son might never have been able to break the curse.

"Hello, Princess Anna." Cedric was very polite. He gestured to the servants behind him to put the treasure chests on the ground, and then said to Anna, "This is the gift I prepared for you."

Claire couldn't wait to get up from her seat. She smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Cedric, I'm Heline's sister, Claire." Then she went to open one of the treasure chests. As soon as she opened it, Claire was stunned.

There were countless pearls and gems inside, which almost blinded her eyes.

Although she was a princess of the royal family and had seen many precious jewels, there were also gems in this box that she did not recognize.

When Freya saw Claire's obsessed look, she couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead.

However, she had heard of the Gareth family. Most families there used their territories as cities. The largest family was the Gareth family. It was said that this family had existed for a thousand years and was an ancient family.

"Hello, I'm Freya." Freya walked over and said with a smile.

Cedric smiled politely, "Hello, Princess."

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop standing and talking, and sit down to eat." Anna happily invited everyone to sit down.

She was very satisfied with this Cedric, who was not only of high status but also financially strong. More importantly, she could see that Cedric was very considerate to Gu Chang.

Gu Chang basically never suffers any grievances when she is with him.

After everyone sat down, Anna asked the butler to start serving the dishes.

But Cedric was a vampire and had no sense of taste. Gu Chang watched him eat a bite of steak without changing his expression, and his thoughts began to wander.

Do vampires use the toilet? Will the food they eat be digested?

"Hein, you're too clingy to Mr. Cedric. You even look at him while eating." Claire had long since forgotten all her previous thoughts. After all, Cedric had given her a generous gift. No matter how she thought about it, Claire felt that she couldn't deliberately embarrass Cedric.

Gu Chang looked away, looked at Claire who was teasing him, and said helplessly: "Sister Claire, please stop teasing me."

Freya coughed lightly, and Claire glanced at her and dared not speak anymore.

Claire is still a little afraid of this sister.
