Chapter 1097: He Was Angry (5)

Ye Sijue put away his stern expression, smiling a little. Though it wasn’t a genuine smile, it made him look less grave.

He glanced at Annie and turned to look at Chris and said, “Did Princess Annie return from China recently?”

Chris looked at him with a smile. “Yeah, did you meet our Annie in China?”

‘Our’ Annie again. Ye Sijue forced a smile again, enduring it.

Ye Sijue had never been an impulsive brat, but at that moment the anger that had been accumulating in his chest was about to erupt.

On the surface, however, he still maintained a graceful smile as he said, “We didn’t just met. Princess Annie’s good friend in China happened to be a long-time friend, so when she was in China we hung out occasionally. I just didn’t expect to meet her here. Princess Annie used her Chinese name in China. I only found out later that her English name is Annie.”

Hearing that, Boole raised his eyebrows and asked, “Annie actually has a Chinese name? What is it?”

Ye Sijue didn’t answer immediately, naturally, but he looked to Annie as though he were seeking her opinion.

Annie had a vague feeling that the way he was looking at her was quite weird, so she didn’t dare to look at him.

Chris turned to look at her and asked curiously, “Annie, when did you have a Chinese Name? Why didn’t I know about this?”

She laughed and said, “It was Xiaoxiao who gave me the Chinese Name. I found it interesting, so I used it.”

“You didn’t tell me about it. You ought to be punished.” Chris put his arm over the her back of her chair, his body facing her with a teasing smile.

Boole also asked, “Annie, what is your Chinese Name? Tell us.”

Annie hesitated. She didn’t seem like she wanted to tell them about it.

“You won’t even know what it means even if I tell you.”

“Why don’t you explain to us then?”

“Well…”

Just then, the music suddenly stopped. The host of the banquet, Duke Berg, appeared before everyone.

Boole tutted. “Why does it have to be now? Annie, baby, you must tell me your Chinese name next time, okay? I have to go now. Please make yourselves at home.”

With that said, Boole bowed and apologized to them before he left.

The four people who were left wore different expressions.

Annie had been afraid to meet Ye Sijue’s eyes while Ye Sijue was looking at her.

Chris’s eyes were smiling, but it was hard to guess what he was thinking about.

Tian Yunxin could be disregarded since no one cared about her.

Because the banquet host had something to say, everyone stood up and looked to the center of the ballroom.

Annie stood up as well, but she was perhaps slightly flustered because she yanked her skirt that was caught by the chair.

“Careful,” Chris said softly, his arm around her slender waist as he helped free her skirt. He carefully smoothed it, and lifted it up in a beautiful arc.

He extended his arm to her.

Annie was slow to respond as she reached out to hold his arm.

Chris smiled, nodding courteously to Ye Sijue as he left the table with Annie.
