The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

The man had his hair neatly combed back, revealing his handsome face. His clothes were extremely luxurious and exquisite, with a gorgeous cloak made of satin draped behind him.

The dark gold top with white ruffled lace is lifted to the chin, and the lower body is wearing the same dark gold pants with a design similar to pumpkin pants, matched with tights.

Chu Bai Niao placed the coffee on the table elegantly, stood up and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince."

The prince helped her up with a smile, "Miss Chu, there is no need to be polite, sit down and talk."

The prince sat down in front of Chu Bai Niao, "Cinderella was in the knighthood ceremony, I felt bored, so I slipped out, I didn't expect to run into Miss Chu outside."

"Miss Chu, why did you come to the palace with Cinderella? Didn't you go back?"

Chu Bai Niao nodded and said, "Duke Cinderella and I have similar interests. I should stay with him in the castle for a while."

The prince looked confused. "Then Cinderella is really lucky. Miss Chu, I will hold a ball in the palace soon. I formally invite you and your two daughters to attend the ball here."

Dance? Chu Bainiao's mind quickly flashed through the original content of the fairy tale.

In the fairy tale, it was Cinderella's gorgeous dance dress and charming face that made the prince fall in love with her at first sight.

I didn't expect the plot to be so off-topic that there would be a dance party.

Chu Bai Niao smiled and said, "Thank you for your invitation, Your Highness. We will come."

The prince smiled gently, a little shyly, "To be honest, this ball was specially held by my father and mother to select a princess for me."

Chu Bai Niao echoed: "Your Highness the Prince is also old enough to get married."

The prince raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. When he was about to continue speaking, the heavy and gorgeous door was pushed open by the guards, and Cinderella, dressed in a white and gold dress, slowly walked out.

She smiled after meeting Chu Bainiao's eyes, while the prince standing next to her was completely ignored.

Cinderella walked up to Chu Bainiao and nodded to the prince, "Your Highness."

The prince nodded. Since there were outsiders present, he couldn't say anything more. He exchanged a few words of greeting and left.

Cinderella left the palace with Chu Bai Niao. On the way, she asked calmly, "What was Aunt Chu talking about with the prince just now? He looked very happy."

My face turned red with joy.

Chu Bai Niao replied: "His Highness told me that the King and Queen are going to hold a ball for him and will choose his future princess at the ball."

Cinderella pretended to be happy and said, "It seems that the prince has invited Aunt Chu."

Chu Bainiao looked at him in surprise. She really had no idea what he was thinking.

But if the prince invites him to the ball, will he be very happy?

She didn't believe it at all.

Chu Bai Niao retracted his gaze, thinking, "His Highness has invited Anastasia and Dusula, I will go to the ball with them."

A hint of darkness flashed across Cinderella's eyes, and she took Chu Bainiao's hand, "Then I will come with you, right? I haven't been to a dance yet~"

Chu Bainiao looked at his innocent and pure appearance and felt a little suspicious, but she was not sure.

Could it be that the senior brother in this world is really a simple child?

After the investiture ceremony, Cinderella became a real duke. Every day she needed to deal with various affairs in her territory and study various courses.

Busy.

Later, not only did problems begin to arise in the territory, but even the account books handed over to him contained false accounts.

Cinderella had to go to the territory to investigate in person.

He stood in front of the carriage, with hundreds of Duke's guards standing on both sides.

There was a sad look on her delicate face, "Aunt Chu, I have to go to the territory to take care of some things. The journey is long and it may take several months to go back and forth."

Cinderella took out a token from her bosom and handed it to Chu Bainiao. "If you encounter any problems, you can use this token to mobilize my guards. If you have any problems, you can find the butler."

Chu Bai Niao held the token in her palm. She frowned and said, "How is it going? Do you need me to go with you?"

Cinderella's eyes quickly lit up and she grinned, "Thank you Aunt Chu, but it's not necessary."

He walked up to Chu Bainiao and hugged her, then got on the carriage.

The convoy gradually went away. Chu Bainiao held the token in confusion, as if he couldn't believe that he just left like that?

How many months will it really take?

There was some confusion in her eyes, but she said nothing and returned to the castle holding the token.

Two days later, a count sent an invitation letter, inviting Dusula and Anastasia to attend a small dance party.

Chu Bainiao sent them there, and when they arrived at the banquet venue, they found that the prince was also there.

The prince standing outside the banquet hall was surprised and happy when he saw the three of them, "Miss Chu, Anastasia, Dusula, you are here too!"

Chu Bai Niao smiled and said, "I sent Anastasia and Dusula to the ball, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to be here too."

The prince smiled purely, "Send them here? Miss Chu won't participate? I just had a chat with Count Ansu and found out that this is a masquerade ball."

Masquerade?

Chu Bainiao shook his head. "Since it's a young people's dance, I won't participate. Anastasia, Dusula, have fun."

The prince frowned and whispered, "Miss Chu, you should go in together. The masquerade will be a bit chaotic."

"Although I can help you watch over the two of them, the lighting inside is dim and everyone is wearing masks, so I'm afraid something might be missed."

Chu Bainiu lowered his eyes and thought for a second, "Okay, I'll go in too."

If I turn around and leave now that I'm already in the ballroom, Count Ansu might be unhappy. If someone with bad intentions spreads the news, there might be some bad rumors about Anastasia and Dusula.

It would be better to just go in and hide in the corner and watch them.

After hearing Chu Bainiao agreed to go in, the smile on the prince's face gradually deepened. He bowed like a gentleman, "Please."

Chu Bainiao took a fox mask from the maid and put it on her face. The white fox mask covered two-thirds of her face.

The lights in the ballroom were dim, and the music played by the band flowed slowly in the hall like a river.

In the middle of the dance floor, nobles who were indistinguishable from each other were dancing in pairs.

The prince was just about to invite Chu Bainiao to dance with him and had even thought of the script in mind, but he didn't expect that the moment he turned around, a tall figure bumped into him heavily.

The next second, Chu Bainiao was hugged by the figure and brought into the dance floor.

Anger welled up in the prince's eyes, but he couldn't even find the person at this moment, let alone get him back!

Anastasia and Dusula saw their mother being pulled into the dance floor by a man, and tried hard to look for her, but were soon dispersed by the crowd.

Chu Bainiao held the strong shoulders of the man in front of her and felt a surge of surprise in her heart.

Cinderella? !
