When Robin Zhou was discussing about the dinner with Annie, Cai Zhou was extremely agitated.
There was only less than three minutes left before the half-hour time limit Ferry Xie gave him, but he still couldn’t think of any solution to the problem.
Just at this moment, Ferry called him.
“Cai, how are things going? Did Princess Annie forgive you?” On the phone, Ferry asked in an anxious tone.
Princess Annie’s wrath had reached the ears of many leaders. These leaders had put pressure on Cai, asking him to calm Annie’s anger as soon as possible.
“I haven’t seen Princess Annie yet.” Cai bit the bullet and confessed. Because it had reached this level, he didn’t dare to hide anything from Ferry.
“What?! You haven’t seen Princess Annie yet?!”
Ferry was ready to beat Cai up right then.
“Cai, you piece of shit!” Ferry exploded.
Before Cai reacted, Ferry added, “Cai, that’s enough! Pack up your things and leave!”
“Leader!” Cai wanted to explain, but Ferry hung up the phone immediately.
Cai was ashamed. Ferry basically had announced the end of his career.
Soon, the night fell.
Hathaway chose a small private restaurant in City Y as the dining place.
Only the powerful in City Y were eligible to feast there.
Today, Hathaway had reserved the entire restaurant.
The owner knew that the princess of the Country B would dine here today, so he had arranged it very carefully.
At eight o’clock in the evening, a bulletproof Rolls Royce stopped at the gate of the restaurant.
Annie and Hathaway were sitting side by side at the back seats of the car.
When the car stopped, bodyguards got out of the car and checked the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, they opened the door for Annie.
After Annie and Hathaway got out of the car, Hathaway glanced at Annie with a smile and said, “Annie, you can go in by yourself.”
“Hathaway, can you go with me? I’m a little nervous.” Annie glanced at Hathaway as she cupped her rosy cheeks.
Hathaway smiled helplessly, “Annie, there is no need to be nervous. As far as I know, Robin is easy to talk to.”
“Besides, this is the first time you two met officially. I don’t want to be a third wheel.”
“Alright. Then, I’m going in.” Annie took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mind.
Although only attending a private dinner with Robin, Annie had spent nearly two hours dressing up before going out. She paid much more attention to her appearance today than on the first day she arrived in Country C.
Annie put on a light makeup. She still wore her favorite white dress with a beige coat on the outside.
She put on a burgundy gemstone necklace on her neck. Her hair combed into a ponytail. She wanted to look elegant but also adorable.
After entering the door, Annie found that Robin was at the door.
After taking a close look at the strange yet familiar face of Robin, Annie couldn’t help but speak, “Dear Robin, I have finally met you once again.”
“Princess Annie, I am only a nobody. I am honored to get the chance to see you.” Robin smiled bitterly.
“Dear Robin, you can see me at any time you wish.”
Annie responded subconsciously, but then she felt that her words were a bit explicit, she lowered her head in shame and covered her flushed cheeks.
Hm?
Robin noticed Annie’s reaction.
He was no longer the ignorant boy he used to be. From Annie’s reaction, it was not difficult for him to see that Annie liked him.
At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door and brought the dishes in, breaking the slightly awkward and ambiguous atmosphere.
Although Annie was a princess, she didn’t order many dishes. She only ordered braised pork, roasted fish, bacon, black bean pepper, and soup.
For the liquor, she ordered the Moutai liquor.
The waiter stepped back after putting the dishes on the table, and then Robin poured the wine for Annie.
“Annie, it’s a pleasure to see you again, you have grown more beautiful than eight years ago.”
“Thank you, dear Robin, your praise brings me joy.”
Annie had a big smile. She enjoyed Robin’s praise, but she was not embarrassed because of it.
“Good wine, good food.”
Annie exclaimed after drinking a glass of wine and spooned a piece of braised pork.
Then, Annie tasted the other three dishes one after another, in which she reacted in awe.
“Dear Robin, for the second glass of wine, I will toast to you. Thank you for helping me.”
Annie picked up the wine glass, but she did not clink them immediately.
She gazed sincerely at Robin, “Eight years ago, if you didn’t save me, I would have died in the hands of those bandits. You are my benefactor and the benefactor of Country B’s Royal Family. Our consortium came to Country C because of you. My father wishes to express his gratitude to you.”
“Tell your father that it is not necessary.” Robin beamed and clinked glasses with Annie.
After the second glass, Annie did not proceed to eat. She asked, “Dear Robin, why does the Zhou Family want to kill you? I have heard that you are also from the Zhou Family. In a sense, you should be relatives.”
As a royal princess, Annie was no stranger to the power struggle of the royal family and was aware of the cruelty of it, but she felt that Robin’s situation had nothing to do with power struggle.
“Relatives?” Robin was startled at first. He smiled bitterly, “The Zhou Family is not my relative.”
“They are my enemies.”
“They were the ones who murdered my mother.”
“Ah?!” Annie was shocked, she stared at Robin apologetically and uttered, “Dear Robin, I apologize. I shouldn’t have mentioned this.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s all over.” Robin waved his hand.
