699 Rejection
Don't have to leave?
Xu Anning was stunned for a moment.
This time she came to Hannan mainly to find traces of her adoptive parents' life. If possible, she would bring them back to China. But the last time she saw her adoptive parents' grave and saw that they were respected here, she gave up this idea and did not want to disturb their peace.
The reason why I am still in Han Nan is just to learn more about the past of my adoptive parents, which is a kind of spiritual compensation for the past. In this case, she is destined to not stay in Han Nan for too long.
After all, there are more people and things in China and cannot let go.
After hearing what Hilson said, Xu Anning frowned and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I want to understand some of my adoptive parents' previous lives. If I understand, I will leave. I don't need to disturb the life of my coach for a long time."
Hilson raised his eyebrows.
"Do you still want to go back to China?"
"Yes."
Xu Anning did not hide it.
A hint of unhappiness appeared on Hilson's face, and his eyebrows frowned.
"Your adoptive parents are sleeping here forever, and you still want to go back. What's the best place?"
"That place...is my root."
Xu Anning replied, her clear eyes full of firmness.
Hilson's dark pupils glanced at the woman in front of him and signaled the maid beside him to move her luggage in. Cen Bo's lips slowly opened and closed: "At least you haven't learned what you want to know yet, stay here first."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving only a figure behind.
What Hilson thoughts made Xu Anning not want to leave at all. But what he didn't expect was that Xu Anning himself was not willing to stay in Han Nan for a long time. So, maybe it was necessary for a reason. The deceased had passed away, and I'm afraid this reason was not firm enough.
Hilson's thoughts were noticed by a close minister beside him.
This close minister is named Marl. His best job is to observe his words and expressions, he is very smart and good at observing. He often provides opinions that are right to people's hearts. Therefore, even if Hilson is a commander with an elusive personality, Marl can still do well with him.
After Marl realized Hilson's condition, he immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Commander, do you have any thoughts? Is it... related to Miss Xu who brought back to the main city today?"
Mal guessed his thoughts not once or twice, Hilson nodded slightly.
"Do you have any good ways to make her willing to stay in Hannan and not go back to China?"
Ma Er's eyes flashed quickly and he spoke, "In his humble opinion, the reason why Miss Xu is unwilling to stay may be because Han Nan's conditions are incomparable to her when she was in China. In this case, it is better to reward Miss Xu, and her noble status and her own territory. In this way, Miss Xu's status will be improved and even a level that cannot be reached in China. In this case, Miss Xu may be willing to stay!"
Hilson did not answer the conversation, and he was thinking about the feasibility of such a thing in his mind.
But it is actually a very simple thing for him to give me a reward.
Hilson curled the corners of his lips, and combined with the deep space-like pupils, he showed a cold smile. He opened his thin lips lightly and said slowly with a smile: "If it works, I will also appreciate you. If it doesn't work, I will make you disappear."
Despite hearing this many times before, and every time I did not realize it because of my own success in giving my advice, Marl still couldn't help but tremble.
What he didn't know was that Hilson didn't like the feeling of being guessed, and the reason why he never lost his temper was just based on "Mar is useful".
That night, Hilson ordered people to set up a simple dinner, on the one hand, to formally welcome the junior sister, and on the other hand, to propose a decision to give a reward.
Xu Anning was not aware of his decision and did not refuse.
During the dinner party.
In addition to Hilson and Xu Anning, there were several close ministers, including Marl, who had the idea.
The maids were busy serving everyone. There was also a playing band in front of the dinner table, creating the atmosphere for the entire dinner.
The beautiful banquet atmosphere makes people forget that the war here is settled for a while.
Hilson, sitting in the main seat, held a crystal cup with his slender knuckles, gently shook the cup, allowing the scarlet liquid to sway and emit a beautiful red light.
His deep-space pupils did not look at the wine in the glass, but looked at Xu Anning.
“I made a decision.”
He spoke lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
"My little junior sister, I decided to give you the same title as your master and your wife, and give you the territory you were planning to reward them."
As soon as Hilson said something, everyone except Marl was stunned.
Marl took the lead in applauding at the right time, clapping and presenting an almost flattering smile, saying, "Congratulations to Miss Xu!"
Several other close ministers looked at each other, looking confused, and unconsciously cooperating and applauding.
You know, over the years, the commander has only rewarded Luo Jingming and his wife. That is because Luo Jingming and his wife saved the commander and made contributions to the entire Han Nan. This makes it difficult for those who are jealous of them to speak. But this time... just because they are the daughter of Luo Jingming and his wife, is there such a big reward?
There are some questions, but no one dares to raise them, so everyone can only be secretly jealous.
Facing everyone's response, Xu Anning frowned.
After everyone stopped applauding, she gently opened her red lips and said, "Commander, I can't accept this reward."
What?!
Hilson's face changed.
Everyone here doubts their ears.
The commander proposed that he was awarded the position of duke! Not to mention whether there were any women in this position before, just talking about the exclusive land. The land of Hannan, which is in ruins, is originally precious, and it is the best land outside the commander's residence! Did this woman know nothing and refuse so simply?
The most anxious among the people was Marl, and his idea was made. If he didn't succeed, he would "disappear"!
Mar immediately said to Xu Anning: "Miss Xu, how can you not accept it? This time the commander wants to reward you, but the position of duke is to directly promote your identity to a nobleman of Hannan. There is also the land that you want to reward you. It is the best land in Hannan, and many people are coveting it!"
"Thanks to the commander for his kindness, but I can't accept it no matter what it is."
Xu Anning looked at Hilson with beautiful eyes, his face and expression were very calm, without the slightest joy of being rewarded.
