On the way, Lu Xia suddenly remembered something. "Cecil just became a Gene Fusion Expert, too," she said to Simon, "and Lady Daina is going to host a celebratory banquet for him. If you'd like, I could contact your mother and have the Li Family host one for you as well."
Simon hadn't expected this. He instinctively glanced at Cecil. "Duke, would it be possible for you to host it for me?"
Just then, Lu Xia saw Cecil turn his head to stare directly at Simon, his eyes filled with wariness.
Lu Xia paused for a moment. "Of course, I can. But don't you need to inform your family?"
"There's no need. I don't have much to do with the Li Family. My mother passed away when I was very young."
Lu Xia hadn't expected that. "I'm sorry, I didn't know," she said. "In that case, how about I host one for you after Cecil's celebration is over?"
"Of course. I'm not in a hurry. Just hearing you say that is enough for me."
