Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 361 New Identity (2)

After some pleasantries, Lu Xiu turned the topic to Ning Hua: "I believe that Gene has accurately conveyed my intentions to you two. Now, let me formally introduce the person next to me..."

Lu Xiu took Ning Hua's hand as he spoke, but he was still sitting, so the hand-holding gesture seemed very intimate. "Ning Hua is still my personal maid, but from the next moment, she has a new identity, that is, the granddaughter of the old Duke of the Demps family, the eldest daughter of Lord Palmer, and the sister of Colonel Curry, Ning Hua."

The old duke stood up and saluted Lu Xiu. "The Dempsey family is honored to serve the commander."

Lu Xiu nodded: "Please sit down, old Duke."

Corey had just stood up with his grandfather. He walked around to Ning Hua and pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket. "Ning Hua, from now on, you are my Corey Demps's sister. This is the Demps family medal. Please accept it."

Ning Hua took the medal and knelt to express his gratitude.

Corey quickly helped her up: "You're welcome. We're family from now on."

"Yes, cousin."

Kori laughed: "You are my sister, how can you call me cousin?"

Ning Hua was stunned for a moment. She had thought that Lord Palmer, whom Lu Xiu had just mentioned, was some distant relative of the old duke. She hadn't expected Lord Palmer to be Kori's father. Wouldn't that make her a legitimate daughter of a prominent family? For a maid, her origins were truly noble...

Ning Hua quickly changed his words and said, "Brother..."

Lu Xiu had been very pleased to see Kou Li welcoming Ning Hua into his family, but when he heard the clear and crisp "brother," he felt a little awkward. Ning Hua had always addressed him by his full name...

Lu Xiu pulled his thoughts back and coughed lightly: "I will take her to visit the Dempsey family in a few days. I also ask the old Duke to take the trouble to arrange a recognition ceremony for her."

The old duke stood up and saluted respectfully again: "Yes, Your Highness, the Dempsey family will definitely hold a grand family reunion banquet for this long-lost granddaughter."

Lu Xiu nodded: "Okay..."

Lu Xiu chatted with Kori and the old duke about other topics. Ning Hua wasn't interested and stood obediently to the side listening. Unexpectedly, the old duke, though serious looking, was actually quite talkative. He chatted with the commander for a while, not forgetting to turn the topic back to Ning Hua. His words didn't embarrass Ning Hua, who was standing by, nor did they make the commander feel uncomfortable. As a result, the conversation became increasingly lively...

By the time Ning Hua returned to the commander's residence, it was already the early morning. Ning Hua was yawning and almost fell asleep in the aircraft.

Lu Xiu led Ning Hua to the bedroom on the third floor and said to her, "You go to sleep first. I'll go to work."

After Lu Xiu finished speaking, he turned and went to the study.

Ning Hua yawned sleepily, but had to admit in his heart that Lu Xiu was really working hard.

The next morning, Ning Hua opened her eyes to no surprise and saw the face of a man lying next to her.

As soon as Ning Hua opened his eyes, Lu Xiu's eyeballs twitched under his eyelids, and Ning Hua quickly closed his eyes again.

Ning Hua closed her eyes and heard no sound for a long time. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Lu Xiu had fallen asleep again.

Ning Hua used her fingers to lightly stroke the outline of the man's face in front of her. The outline was firm and handsome, the corners of his mouth were relaxed, and he was sleeping sweetly and relaxed... She sighed in her heart. Only after sleeping together with her head resting on the pillow, would she understand the love and affection in her heart.
