Earl Field found that every time he saw this woman, she seemed to have a different kind of charm.
She was like a thick book—you never knew what scenery you’d find on the next page.
Not only could this woman pull off Western-style gowns, but Chinese attire seemed to suit her even better.
Is this the legendary charm of Chinese women?
Even Earl Field hadn’t noticed how much more often his gaze landed on Cici.
As the VIPs took turns offering birthday wishes, Earl Field naturally went over to congratulate in person as well.
He wasn’t just representing himself—he was there on behalf of the Field Family.
The Yin Family’s standing in Europe was not to be underestimated.
No one dared look down on the Yin Family, and no one would neglect the old lady’s birthday.
Grandma Evelyn Yin looked at Earl Field and said, “How has the Duke been lately?”
Earl Field replied with a smile, “Thank you for your concern, Madam. All is well.”
Earl Field answered in perfect Mandarin.
Every heir from these families was fluent in several languages.
Grandma Evelyn Yin nodded repeatedly. “Good. When I have some free time, maybe I’ll go have tea with the Duke myself!”
Earl Field quickly replied with a smile, “It would be an honor. When the time comes, I’ll welcome you and... the two young masters to our family castle.”
After saying this, Earl Field’s red eyes quickly swept over Miles Gu.
Miles Gu’s little body stiffened slightly.
He was still too young to hide his feelings.
Cici felt a pang of heartache watching him.
Luckily, Earl Field didn’t say anything more. After a few polite words and presenting his gift, he stepped aside.
There were simply too many people here for the birthday celebration. After watching for a while, Miss Cecilia Grant felt a bit thirsty, so she turned and asked a waiter for a glass of juice, sipping it slowly.
“I didn’t expect Miss Cecilia Grant to be so beautiful today. I’m truly impressed,” Earl Field’s gentle voice sounded behind her.
Cecilia turned lightly and gave a polite smile. “Thank you for the compliment, Earl Field.”
“You’re too modest, Miss Cecilia Grant.” Earl Field stopped, looked down at her, and said softly, “I heard you returned to develop your own career?”
Cecilia gave a bitter smile.
Well, it seemed like the whole world knew what she was up to.
Even her family knew.
Cecilia didn’t deny it. “Yes.”
Earl Field deliberately put on a thoughtful look. “In the cosmetics field, I happen to have an old brand. Would Miss Cecilia Grant be interested in a collaboration? Since we’re acquaintances, I’ll give you a discount.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but laugh. “Earl Field, you must be joking. Your brand is so big, I couldn’t possibly collaborate. My little company’s registered capital is only around ten million. Your brand must be worth tens of billions of dollars, right?”
“But making too much money isn’t that interesting. China’s market is pretty good—I’m willing to invest some money for fun.” Earl Field continued to tempt her: “I can help your company quickly complete its initial capital turnover, and also open up the European market.”
Cecilia looked speechless at Earl Field. “You went through all this trouble just for Miles Gu?”
Earl Field’s red eyes flickered. “You could say that, or not.”
“What do you mean?” Cecilia frowned at him.
“That was my original plan. But after interacting with Miss Cecilia Grant twice, I didn’t find it annoying at all. That’s never happened before. I think Miss Cecilia Grant might be special. I’m willing to marry Miss Cecilia Grant—then my son would naturally return to my family.” Earl Field said casually.
Pfft…
Cecilia nearly spit out her juice.
Cecilia quickly turned away, trying hard to swallow the juice in her mouth.
Because she moved too quickly, she almost started coughing.
Earl Field’s red eyes flickered as they landed on Cecilia’s graceful figure, full of admiration.
