Chapter 283

Ten's body was both light and soft, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Master Lee Teuk is as light as a girl. It would be great if she were a girl."

"Don't talk nonsense." When Orson heard this, he quickly pressed Vivian's mouth.

The latter's eyes widened in surprise, then blushed and nodded, before Orson moved his hand away.

"If your words are misunderstood by others, it will be very detrimental to me." Orson explained. "They will think, 'Orson wants Leeteuk to be a girl so that he will not be a threat to his inheritance.'"

"Don't say this kind of thing in the future, you know."

"Uh, um..." Vivian was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I know, thank you young master for reminding me, I almost made a big mistake."

"It's okay. It's better to remember it now than to say it in front of others later."

"Okay, take Lite back to the room to rest."

"Well, I understand."

…

Orson returned to the room, sat at the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote in his notebook.

At this time, his door was pushed open.

Orson turned around and looked at the person.

Then, he stood up and bowed.

"Father."

"Yeah." Lucius nodded. "How is Lite studying?"

"If it's an entrance test, I'm very confident that Leeteuk will pass the written test, but in the subsequent practical test..."

"What's wrong? Does this kid Li Te have no fighting talent?" Lucius asked.

"No, no, no, Li Te is your father's flesh and blood after all. He must have some talent in fighting, but..."

"Just what?" Lucius asked.

"It's just that it hasn't shown up yet, or in other words, it's not the time for him to realize it yet."

"Ha." Lucius listened to Orson's words and finally understood what Orson meant.

"Oson, I can see how well you've been treating Lite these days."

"This is what I should do as an older brother, father."

"But," Lucius said, "As an elder brother, it's okay for you to pamper Li Te, but don't forget that you are still Li Te's teacher."

"A teacher cannot pamper his students, at least not until the students can become independent teachers."

"Your life has been smooth sailing and you have never encountered resistance, so you have developed the idea that you can achieve success without going through difficulties." Lucius patted Orson on the shoulder.

"But Lee Teuk is different. He has never experienced happiness since he was born. If he is suddenly pulled to heaven, he may not be able to adapt."

"Especially when you are teaching him, you can't let him have the idea that 'I should be worse than others'. Otherwise, he will always be one step behind others. How can he meet your expectations?"

Lucius looked at Orson with piercing eyes.

"Although I don't know why you seem to have a soft spot for Lite, I hope you won't spoil him. You are just his brother and you can't stay with him forever."

"He will eventually break away from your protection in the future. At that time, your doting on him now will turn into harm to him."

"I understand, father." Orson nodded.

Indeed, because he was worried that Leeteuk would be bullied like in the original novel and he would hold a grudge against Orson, Orson's attitude towards Leeteuk in the past two days had been to hold it in his hand for fear of dropping it and to hold it in his mouth for fear of it melting.

Li Teuk's feelings must be considered in everything, and he has always been inexplicably afraid of Li Teuk.

This almost doting attitude is not suitable for Leeteuk's development, but will make Leeteuk spoiled.

One thing is for sure, if Leeteuk is spoiled, Orson will no longer be threatened.

But does Orson want this?

Because I know you are the protagonist, I nip your possibility in the cradle right from the beginning, preventing you from getting ahead for the rest of your life.

Is this fair to Lee Teuk?

Obviously unfair.

"Yeah." Lucius nodded and patted Orson on the shoulder. "To be honest, I'm glad to see you are willing to go out of your way for your brother."

"Tell me, Orson." So saying, he looked into Orson's eyes.

"What do you want?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Orson said with a smile: "Father, although you may not believe it, I am really not interested in the position of Duke."

"Rather than sit on me in the end?

If you like the position, you might as well take advantage of the moment to raise Liteuk into a person who can succeed your father. "

"Since you said you don't want to be a duke, then, as a father, I would like to ask, where is your ambition, Orson?" Lucius stared at Orson.

Chapter 19: I want you

"So, Miss, do you really want to go to the Duke's Mansion?" Outside the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, Lorenzo looked at Chelinina sitting in the carriage and asked.

"Yeah." Chelinina nodded. "There are some things that I have to talk about myself, Uncle Lorenzo. I know my father's purpose of arranging for you to be by my side. Please rest for a while today."

"..." Lorenzo's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he nodded silently.

"Okay, in that case, missy, please be safe on the road."

"Um."

The carriage then drove away, heading into the distance.

Orson sat in the room. Since his conversation with his father Lucius that night, he had been gradually strengthening Li Te's training in the past half month.

From the beginning, Lit couldn't even hold the sword steadily, but slowly he could dance the sword well.

But this is not enough.

Lit still can't even reach the first level of strength, which makes Orson very headache.

Is it really impossible for him to change the direction of the plot, and Lit can only enter the school through Lucius's recommendation?

He wanted to increase the amount of training, but Lit's body obviously didn't allow it.

At this time, the butler Albert walked in.

"Master Orson." He said this and bowed respectfully. "Chelina from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce is looking for you."

Hearing this name, Orson frowned.

"Why did she come to me? Didn't I tell her the detailed requirements for the construction of the new urban area in the letter before?"

"I don't know about that."

"Okay, take her to my room, and ask Vivian to pour two cups of coffee by the way."

"Okay." Albert nodded, and then retreated from the room.

A minute later, the door of the room opened again.

Orson was already sitting at the coffee table, pointing to the sofa in front of him.

"Please sit down, Miss Cherylina."

"Yes." Cherylina nodded and sat opposite Orson.

She habitually stretched out her hand to look at the coffee table, and was stunned when she saw that it was empty.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't expect you to come. I just asked the servant to pour coffee, and it may take a while to arrive." Orson smiled awkwardly. "Miss Cherylina, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

"Mr. Orson, tell me the truth." Cherylina sat opposite Orson.

In the past half month, every time Orson exchanged letters with Cherylina, he would add Lit's name after the signature.

"You have no need to put pressure on me through Mr. Lit."

"Oh?" Orson frowned when he heard this. "When did I put pressure on you through Lit? If I remember correctly, I only met you once with Lit."

"Heh." Cherylina heard this and stared at Orson. "Although I don't know how you know that I want to interfere in the inheritance of the Stranik family, I never like to do so many twists and turns in business."

"As long as it can achieve the goal..."

"As long as it can achieve the goal and there is a suitable price, then you go back and do it, right?" Orson said the famous words of Chelinina in the original book before Chelinina.

"How did you know..."

"I said it all, we have common interests." Orson said so.

Just then, the door opened and Vivian came in with two cups of coffee.

"This cup is for Master Orson, and this cup is for Miss Chelinina. Master Orson specifically asked to add sugar." After Vivian finished speaking, she put away the tray, bowed to the two of them, and left the room.

"You know all this?" Chelinina looked at Orson in disbelief.

"Of course." Orson nodded. "Coffee is bitter. It's good for refreshing yourself when you're working, but if you like to drink coffee during your breaks, you need to add sugar. After adding sugar, although it still tastes bitter, the sweet taste is very good, isn't it?"

"Master Orson is so elegant that he can taste so much from my simple love of sweetness." Chelinina said sarcastically.

"So, do you want to know why I know?" Orson took a sip of the bitter coffee, looked at Chelinina, and smiled.

"..." Chelinina was stared at by Orson, and for some reason she felt a little uncomfortable, so she turned her eyes away and looked to the side.

"The reason is very simple." Orson said.

"As the eldest daughter of the Bonaventura family and the only female in the family, she was suddenly appointed as the head of the Antica region of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce half a year ago."

"Your two brothers, one in the Duchy of Prussia and the other in the Duchy of Aragon, these two regions are originally prosperous areas of the empire. Why is Miss Cherylina, the jewel in the Duke's hand, sent to the Duchy of Antica, which was newly established and economically depressed?"

"Can I understand this as an exile?"

"So, I have said it before, we have common interests." Orson said this and smiled. "The reason why you intervened in the inheritance crisis of our family is to use the power of our family to help you take the throne, or to achieve some other purpose and keep your position in the family, isn't it?"

"So I hate doing business with smart people like you." Hearing this, Cherylina bit her lower lip tightly, and then she made a huge concession in her heart. "Tell me, what do you want? I can only use the money from the Antica Chamber of Commerce now, and I can't give you more."

"I don't need money." Orson shook his head, and then looked at Chelinina. "I want you..."

"What!?" Chelinina blushed when she heard it, and then she stood up and stared at Orson angrily, her body trembling slightly because of the violent fluctuations of emotions.

"Mr. Orson, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You are obviously already engaged, but you still want someone outside?"

"Don't be angry, Miss Chelinina, you can't be a good businessman like this." Orson smiled, and then motioned Chelinina to calm down.

Chelinina realized her misconduct just now, and she regained her composure and sat back.

"I want you to support Lit."

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, Chelinina looked at Orson in disbelief. "Mr. Orson, what do you mean?"

"You wanted to support Leeteuk, didn't you?" As Orson finished speaking, Chelinina felt as if her heartbeat had stopped.

From knowing what she was going to say, knowing the drinks she liked to drink, to her initial idea of ​​supporting Leeteuk.

Could it be that Orson could read minds?

"Don't look at me like that. I can't read minds. This is just a reasonable inference I made based on your past resume, Miss Chelinina. It's not hard to guess."

"It just so happens that I also want to support Leeteuk to take the position, so I said we have common interests, don't we?"

Chapter 20: Why are you blushing? What are you blushing about?

"Tsk..." Chelinina clicked her tongue unhappily, and then nodded. "Although it feels like trying to get the skin of a tiger, who made me have no way out?"

"Then how do you want me to support Leeteuk?"

"Marry him." Orson said simply.

"Huh?" Chelinina looked incredible again.

This proposal is even more outrageous than the previous one.

Even if she were to marry Orson, a cunning fox, she would not marry Leete, who looks like a sissy.

Of course, if she had to choose between Donnie and Leete, she would still choose Leete.

After all, the former really disgusted her.
