Chapter 37 Burning Effect

Early the next morning, Li Changheng, who got up at 8 o'clock to freshen up, asked the front desk for the number of the American News Agency, and called Joe Bradley.

The 10,000 US dollars flew away, and Bradley, who had to repay 100,000 lire double because he borrowed 50,000 lire from the newspaper owner, faced the price of 300 US dollars quoted by Li Changheng,

Without much thought, he agreed to bring Li Changheng into the castle of the English embassy to attend the press conference held at 10 o'clock this morning.

As for the reporter's ID card, it is very simple. Let Owen, who is the owner of the photography studio, make a photographer's work ID card for Li Changheng.

Before going out at nine o'clock, the doorbell of Li Changheng's room rang, and he took a small box of almond cookies that could fit in his pocket from the waiter and left the hotel.

He took the camera in Owen's studio, followed Bradley to the embassy, ​​showed his credentials, and entered the castle easily.

In the reception hall of the castle, the media staff who were waiting for Anne to appear stayed together in twos and threes to discuss why Anne suddenly fell ill and recovered after only one day.

Last night, the story of Li Changheng fighting against nine people and beating four people on the ground, after the nine Englishmen were taken back to the police station by the police, it has inevitably spread to the ears of the well-informed.

Many people were wondering whether Annie might have used her illness as an excuse to secretly play in Rome for a day yesterday.

After hearing the mutterings from the people around him, Bradley asked Li Changheng in a low voice, "Since you are already in love with Annie, why do you need to risk being targeted by reporters and appear here?"

"You don't understand," Li Changheng smiled and shook his head.

Normally, he would definitely not be able to appear here, but for Annie, after Li Changheng read the letter and knew her truth,

If you ignore it, before the two meet for the second time, or before Li Changheng writes a letter or calls Annie,

She must be thinking wildly, whether Li Changheng is afraid of or unwilling to contact him because of his princess status, and thus has been in anxiety, restlessness and confusion for a long time.

And a little girl in love is prone to impulsive and unwise things.

So, here today, Li Changheng doesn't need to say anything or do anything, as long as he keeps smiling and expressing that he still loves her.

Ten minutes later, at exactly ten o'clock, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo walked out on a one-meter-high platform in the direction of the main hall. "Everyone, please be quiet."

Dozens of media quickly quieted down and gathered forward automatically.

"His Royal Highness is here."

Li Changheng, who was standing behind the crowd, didn't push forward, and saw Annie in full costume, surrounded by a group of people, coming out from the side door.

Standing in front of the main seat with a dignified demeanor, he nodded slightly to the media people before sitting down gracefully.

Looking down, Annie was taken aback for a moment. After seeing clearly that the person standing at the back was indeed Li Changheng, Annie showed a bright smile on her face.

After worrying about things all morning, it finally didn't go in the worst direction.

Soon it was time for reporters to answer questions. Annie had a whole team behind her, and she was already familiar with how to answer questions, and even how to answer them.

After asking four or five questions in succession, Li Changheng suddenly raised his hand, and after getting his consent, he said, "Your Highness, what kind of food in Rome do you like best?"

The safest answer to this question is definitely pasta or pizza, but Annie didn't understand that the answer Li Changheng wanted was macaroons.

"Because I only stayed for two days, the food I tasted was less than one-tenth of the Italian cuisine, but I was very satisfied with the food I tasted in these two days, so I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Italian staff for their dedication."

The nobles and attendants behind Annie immediately smiled when they heard this answer, but after Annie finished speaking, she deliberately paused for a few seconds, pretending to be thinking, and suddenly smiled and continued,

"If you want to say that I am most impressed, it should be Italian macaroons."

Not only were the accompanying nobles startled, but even the media present were whispering in surprise.

Only the Italian media had expressions of excitement and pride on their faces.

Of course, Annie understood that after she said this, some people would become suspicious, and she thought of what Li Changheng said.

"The reason why I mention almond biscuits separately is that apart from the deliciousness of this dessert, the most important thing is that it has a moderate sweetness.

Obesity has become a chronic health problem in European and American societies, so I personally believe that a moderate intake of sugar is good for your health.”

It's no secret that eating too much sweets will make you fat. Moreover, once the young and beautiful Princess Anne gains weight, it will be a disaster for all those who like her.

When the reporters present heard this, they naturally thought that Anne was using a snack to introduce the obesity problem.

Led by Li Changheng, the applause soon resounded in the hall.

The nobles behind Anne breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this situation. After all, this was the first time Anne expressed her opinion. Fortunately, it seemed that the effect was not bad.

When Annie stood up and nodded in return from time to time, Li Changheng applauded while no one noticed him, and looked at Annie from time to time while making eye contact, and blew a few kisses.

At the end of the meeting without knowing it, Annie stood on the high platform, took a deep look at Li Changheng, and left surrounded by the nobles in a good mood.

Li Changheng walked out of the castle with a smile, and handed Bradley the camera and an envelope with 300 dollars in it.

Opening the envelope and looking at it, Bradley thanked him with a sigh of relief, "Thank you, with this money, I can finally alleviate my dilemma of having no money."

Li Changheng thought about it, "Do me a favor, and earn some errand fees by the way?"

"No problem", there is money to be made, as long as it is not illegal, Bradley, who has been out for news all the year round, doesn't mind running errands at all.

Li Changheng took out a dozen hundred-dollar bills, "Help me cover a love heart with roses on the open-air stage by the river under the bridge in front. How much will it cost?"

"This..." Bradley shook his head after thinking for a while, "I don't recommend you to use roses, because September has already passed the month when roses bloom naturally.

The cost will increase exponentially, so it is better to use the red rose, which represents love and courage.

And the relationship between you and Princess Anne requires love and more courage."

Li Changheng's first thought was whether Bradley would kill him secretly, but he put aside this thought within a few seconds, after all, he could tell the truth by just asking the owner of a flower shop.

And he didn't show up himself, just because he was worried that the staff on the outdoor stage would recognize him as the person who fought last night, and then called the police.

"Thank you, Joe."

After giving Bradley 200 dollars first, Li Changheng himself sat by the open-air coffee seat by the river, watching the two carts of red roses placed on the open-air stage, which made him look at Bradley with admiration.

I thought it would cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but I didn't expect that the red rose outside the city of Rome bought for 200 had better effect and denser flowers.

That night, Annie finished the welcome party for the Italian business people, and when she was thinking of Li Changheng, she couldn't help but walked to the window sill, wanting to see the open-air stage where she danced with Li Changheng last night.

But as soon as the window was opened, all the eyes were red love hearts illuminated by lights, and Annie's heart was instantly filled with love.
