Even if Julian Augustus earned five million, no one would believe that the pile of scrap metal was really worth anything.

Because the facts are before our eyes. Apart from some common metals, there is just a broken ashtray. Maybe this is a Douyin joke, the people eating around thought.

Lucio Arcos also felt very complicated. She wondered which part Julian Augustus sang. Could it be that he had colluded with the old man just to act and earn face for himself in front of everyone?

Julian Augustus held the wine glass and said to Lucio Arcos: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you happy birthday!"

After saying that, Julian Augustus took a gulp of the red wine in his glass, turned around, limped out of the hotel with a garbage bag in hand.

Lucio Arcos breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid that if Julian Augustus got stubborn and poured red wine on him in front of so many people, he would lose all his dignity.

Neka Nesbit felt very unhappy when he saw Lucio Arcos staring at Julian Augustus's back. He thought to himself that this kid was really lucky. Someone offered him five million for picking up a pile of junk.

But the emotional intelligence is too low. If he were Neka Nesbit, he would definitely give the check to Lucio Arcos. How magnanimous and face-saving!

However, Neka Nesbit definitely didn't expect Lucio Arcos to pour Julian Augustus a glass of wine, which made Julian Augustus a little frustrated. He is not a ungrateful person, which shows that Lucio Arcos does not have herself in her heart at all.

If you really regard yourself as your husband, you will never pour wine on yourself in public. That would be trampling on your dignity.

Therefore, Julian Augustus wanted to recover as soon as possible and prove with facts that Lucio Arcos had made a mistake. He, Julian Augustus, was not a weakling but a man who stood upright.

Seeing that Lucio Arcos was silent, Neka Nesbit glanced at a subordinate next to him. The subordinate immediately understood and said, "Captain Yang, let's cut the cake!"

"Oh, okay!"Lucio Arcos nodded, forcing herself not to think nonsense. She didn't like Julius Augustus at all. Whether he was smart or stupid had nothing to do with her.

Later, the cake was pushed up by the hotel waiter. After lighting the candles, Lucio Arcos blew out the candles amidst the sound of blessings.

However, when cutting the cake, Lucio Arcos felt that there seemed to be something in the cake, and she picked it out with a plastic knife. It turned out to be a shiny ring.

At this time, Neka Nesbit stood up and said affectionately: "Ruoxi, to be honest, I have liked you for a long time! I give this ring to you, I hope you can agree to it!"

"Together with!"

The police officers under his command started to cheer, and even the guests at the table next to them shouted: "Together, together!"

Lucio Arcos was slightly startled. She didn't expect Neka Nesbit to give her a diamond ring in front of so many people, and she felt very uncomfortable. Even if he doesn't like Julius Augustus, he won't just agree to a man.

"I'm sorry, I have a family!"Lucio Arcos put the ring in front of Neka Nesbit, and then said: "Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday today. However, my parents are still waiting for me to go back to eat longevity noodles. , then I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Lucio Arcos walked out of the hotel with her bag. Looking at the bustling and noisy streets, she felt a little sad. She didn't know when she would meet her true partner.

"Hey, can you take me back?"Lucio Arcos had just fastened her seat belt when Julian Augustus's voice came to her ears.

In fact, Julian Augustus the hotel. He knew that Neka Nesbit must have another "program" behind him, so he stood in the dark and observed to see what kind of trouble Neka Nesbit wanted to make.

Unexpectedly, Lucio Arcos rejected Neka Nesbit romantic confession unceremoniously, which made Julian Augustus feel better.

I feel that there is something wrong with me. After all, people nowadays are impetuous and realistic. With this image of herself, and carrying a garbage bag again, it was normal for Lucio Arcos to be angry.

Therefore, when Julian Augustus saw Lucio Arcos walking out of the hotel alone, looking so lonely, he felt soft again and wanted to apologize to Lucio Arcos. The two of them should have a good time together.

After all, Julius Augustus's last words before his death were: "Ruoxi, wife", which showed that he deeply loved Lucio Arcos in his heart.

Julian Augustus has merged with Julius Augustus's soul, and the cold-bloodedness in his heart is gradually fading away. It seems that he has gradually fallen in love with this cold and stubborn woman.

Lucio Arcos glanced at Julian Augustus outside the car window. His face was stained with sweat and he was still holding a garbage bag in his hand. However, the eyes he looked at her were so affectionate, which made Lucio Arcos feel touched in her heart for a moment. However, his face was still cold and he said: "You want me to open the door for you?"

"Hehe, no need!"Julian Augustus smiled, sat in, and put the garbage bag at his feet.

While driving, Lucio Arcos looked at Julian Augustus from the rearview mirror. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore and asked, "What exactly is in your bag?"

"It's useless to others, but it's very important to me."Julian Augustus did not elaborate. The level he had been exposed to before was too far away from ordinary people. Moreover, he had offended many enemies in the past, so he did not want Lucio Arcos to get involved.

"Forget it if you don't tell me!"Lucio Arcos snorted, feeling a little angry. I feel that when two people get along, they must be honest first, but I always feel that Julian Augustus is hiding something from him.

There was no words all the way. After returning to the villa, Lucio Arcos went to park the car and Julian Augustus stood at the door waiting for her. At this time, a black Bentley parked next to Julian Augustus, and a tall young man and a dignified-looking middle-aged man walked out together.

The middle-aged man looked at Julian Augustus and said, "Mr. Julius Augustus, can I treat you to a meal?"

The middle-aged man was none other than Yazmin Nuncio's father, Pablo Nuncio. I originally planned to come see Julian Augustus at noon, but something delayed me, so I had to come over at night.

"Sorry, I want to accompany my wife on her birthday."Julian Augustus said lightly.

Lucio Arcos, who had just parked the car, felt a little warm in her heart when she saw this scene. It seemed that Julius Augustus still had something for him in his heart. Then he walked over and looked at Pablo Nuncio: "Excuse me, do you have anything to do with him?"

"Oh, are you Inspector Arcos?"Pablo Nuncio smiled slightly, but did not identify himself. He and the municipal party committee secretary are both friends, and there is no need to kowtow to a small criminal police captain. He just smiled lightly and said: "Nothing else, I just want to treat your husband to a meal!"

Now, it was Lucio Arcos turn to be surprised again. She knew Julius Augustus's life trajectory best. He either went to the hospital to see a doctor or stayed at home without going out. How could she have a friend who drove a Bentley? Even if she did, they were Lucio Arcos's relatives. How could she not know him?

Although Julian Augustus didn't know Pablo Nuncio, from the similarity between his eyebrows, he inferred that he should be the father of the girl he rescued yesterday. He probably came to Lucio Arcos house because he wanted to find out the truth about the matter.

It seems that if he doesn't go to eat this meal, the other party will not leave.

Thinking of this, Julian Augustus nodded and gave Lucio Arcos the check in his pocket and the garbage bag in his hand: "Honey, I'll be back soon."

After all, everything is unexpected, so Julian Augustus is still prepared for the worst.

Pablo Nuncio smiled slightly, said nothing, turned around and got into the car, and Julian Augustus also got in.
