Chapter 179 Tied Up

"Frank, is she really your distant cousin?" Claire held his arm and continued to ask.

"Of course it's true." Frank nodded at once. He was not used to the change of Claire's attitude. She had
been questioning him before, and now she was sticky. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"Okay." Claire nodded, "Did she come alone?"

"Yes." Frank answered subconsciously, "She just came here for two days."

"Since she is your cousin, why don't you ask her to come with you? It's not safe for a girl to live
outside." Claire said thoughtfully.

Frank was stunned. He didn't expect that Claire would say so. Then he turned to look at her in surprise.
He hadn't been with her well these days, but he found that she had changed. She seemed to be
smarter than before and knew to solve problems in a roundabout way.

If he really called her over, she would expose it immediately. And her parents couldn't agree with her.

Subconsciously, he looked in the direction of Simon and Jade and found that they were looking at them
in confusion. Not only them, but also Dillon and Lucia.

Lily looked at the scene with a smile while eating the apple. But Claire's change surprised her. She
knew how to ask Frank's question step by step.

Seeing his parents confused, Frank was a little anxious. In fact, he hoped that they could understand
the hint in his eyes and help him. He didn't want to expose it in front of Dillon and Lucia.

If the matter was exposed, they would definitely face the risk of breaking off the engagement. They had
agreed that they would only get engaged when Claire was sixteen years old, but there were still two
years left. It was not a good thing to cancel the engagement before it was engaged. What's more, the



matter of uncle hadn't been settled yet. If he made such a mess, Grandpa would blame him, at that
time, the loss would be even greater.

No, no matter what, he couldn't be exposed.

When he looked away, he saw the faint smile in Lily's eyes. He immediately understood and gave her a
ferocious look. But just when he stared at her, she seemed to have telepathy and looked at him.

Facing Frank's eyes, Lily didn't flinch. To be exact, she didn't even want to hide, and even gave him a
challenging look.

Now he was no longer a threat to her, and there was no need to hide anything in front of him.

Seeing this, Frank seemed to be driven mad. He knew she did it on purpose! He glanced at her
horizontally and then looked back at Claire.

"Thank you for my cousin. Claire, you've really grown up and become more and more sensible." Then
he kissed her on her cheek and said, "She is used to living outside and has a relatively independent
personality. If she lives with others, she will feel strange. Anyway, she will leave tomorrow, so I won't
ask her to come here."

"She will leave tomorrow?" There was a hint of "disappointment" in her tone. "When will she leave
tomorrow? Do you want me to accompany you to see her off? After all, I am your fiancee."

"Yes, yes, she will leave tomorrow." Frank's tone was a little stiff, "We don't have to send her there.
Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the morning, she will stay in a hotel near the airport, very close."

"Really?" Claire looked at him sideways, with obvious disbelief in her eyes.

"Of course it's true." With an unnatural look on his face, Frank tried his best to show his sincerity, and
his hands holding Claire tighter. "Claire, I find that you are really becoming the future hostess of the Gu



family. You know how to deal with a matter well and how to maintain a good relationship with others."

"Frank, don't praise me like that. I just want to do what I should do." A shy smile appeared on Claire's
face. "Since you don't need to send her back, then forget it this time. Next time she comes to the Guan
city for fun, you must tell me. Anyway, I have to treat her to a meal as a host."

Hearing this, Frank was finally relieved. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will tell you in advance next
time she comes."

After saying that, he kissed on Claire's face again, "I like you more and more."

"Well, Dad, mom, uncle and aunt are watching us." Flushed, Claire lowered her head shyly.

From beginning to end, Lily watched a free show, but it was really disgusting. One tried her best to
know who the so-called cousin was, and the other tried to prevent the other from knowing who the
cousin was.

Originally, she wanted to exaggerate it, but when they argued to the end, she didn't want to do so.

It was just two idiots acting here. She didn't want to be the third one to join in and lower her level.

"Ahem..." At this time, Dillon deliberately coughed, but did not say anything to stop her. He said to
Claire, "Claire, dinner is almost ready. Go to the study and ask my brother to come downstairs for
dinner."

"I know, Dad." Claire replied obediently, pushed away Frank's hand with a red face, and turned to the
study upstairs.

When Claire turned around, Frank glared at Lily with resentment.



But this didn't scare Lily at all. Instead, she smiled generously. She wanted him to know that it was her
"carelessness" that spread out. She didn't believe that he would slap her.

The others were not stupid. They also knew that this so-called cousin was not so simple, but they did
not expose. Dillon and Lucia took into account the presence of Simon and Jade, so they would not take
the initiative to expose him, which would only make the two clans break up.

Although Simon and Jade were angry with Frank, they couldn't teach him a lesson in front of the Qiao
family.

As a result, everything went on smoothly.

At dinner time, everyone had a good meal. None of them mentioned the so-called cousin thing in front
of Joe.

During the dinner, Simon deliberately told Dillon about the cooperation between the two companies to
show the intimacy between the two families.

However, Lily never asked about their previous cooperation, but it didn't mean that she didn't know.
Although she was busy with the wedding, sometimes she would still spare time to go to the company.

Of course, Emily was in the company. As long as the company had any cooperation, no matter without
her help, she would tell Lily.

Therefore, when they were talking about cooperation at the table, she told them that she was full and
then got off the table.

However, as soon as she got up and left the table, her phone rang. She took it out and found that it was
a call from Kerr, so she answered it without hesitation.



"Hello, uncle." While answering the phone, she walked towards the back garden. "Is there anything
wrong?"

"Tina wants to eat the food you cook. When will you come back to the manor?" Kerr raised his voice on
the phone.

"Then let's do it tomorrow." In the back garden, Lily walked slowly to have a rest. "I'm fine here. I'm
going to live there for a few days. Your wedding date is approaching. What can I do for you?"

There was nothing important. After chatting with Kerr, she hung up the phone. As soon as she hung up,
her phone rang again. This time, it was from Eric.

When she saw the caller ID, a smile appeared on her face.

"Eric." She answered the phone in a soft voice.

"What are you doing, girl?" His voice was full of affection.

"Guess." Lily lowered her head and kicked.

"Miss me."

"You are smart." She said in a soft voice, "But you have a thick skin."

He chuckled, "What's wrong? You don't like it?"

"Yes, I like." After saying these two words, Lily felt her face burning. She looked up at the sky, patted
her face with the other empty hand, and blurted out, "I like you to be unscrupulous in front of me."

"Ha ha..." Eric couldn't help laughing, "You have a good memory."



He said this to her when the two of them talked on the phone last night.

"Of course, I remember what you said."

"Should I reward you?"

"Then what reward do you want?"

Pop… Hearing the sound from phone, Lily's face immediately turned red. The temperature quickly
rose, and the smile on her face gradually widened.

Eric was getting more and more disgusting. How could he kiss her on the phone?

"Do you still like this reward?"

"Okay..." She answered shyly, holding the phone with one hand and covering her hot face with the
other, like a little girl.

"Girl?" Eric's voice suddenly became low.

"What's wrong?" Hearing his strange voice, Lily also became a little nervous.

"I miss you."

Hearing what he said, she breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "Didn't you say that you would
come back after you finished your work? Then you can see me."

"Well, I came back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year with my mother."

"What time is your flight? I'll pick you up."

"Don't pick me up at eight o'clock. I want to eat the food you cook. Can you cook at home?"



"Okay." Lily replied with a smile.

"My girl is getting more and more capable. She has arranged the house so well that I can't live without
you. What should I do?"

"Then don't leave."

"Well, I'm going to tie you up and tie you to the waistband."

"Haha..." Lily couldn't help laughing. Eric was getting more and more humorous, but she liked it!
