The woman gently pushed open the door of the church, and her clear eyes looked in, the lights in the church were swaying sporadically, and on the shrine was a statue of the Virgin.

When she met him in the midst of the chaos, a frenzied joy was born in her heart, but at this moment some doubts gradually surfaced in her heart. She narrowed her eyes, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and after a moment, she asked, "Why did you come to the auction?"

The tall figure approached behind her, "Don't you have an answer in your heart?"

"You already knew. All along, he hid the other side of himself too well in front of her.

She turned to look at him, "Donna's business has something to do with you too?"

"Donna's business has nothing to do with me. ”

"Something, should you give me an explanation?"

Su Xiaoqi remembered the killer she had seen on the plane, and after a long time, she also guessed some clues, "Once, you were coerced with a gun, is it a play?"

The young man replied, "Yes, I already know that Nolan will send someone to me, and I have made arrangements in advance. ”

She was silent, so stupid that she would jump after him. Am I, a little more important than your plan? In this way, between her, Catherine, and Allen, there is no longer a question to ask.

The original intention has not changed, but it is difficult for people to be complete, and she took over Lapis, as long as she took that step, she had no idea what kind of future was waiting for her.

Su Xiaoqi took out her mobile phone from her pocket, intending to notify someone from the company to pick her up. At that moment, she suddenly felt someone grab her wrist and push her against the wall.

With her back against the wall, she looked at him and said, "You...... What to do?"

He turned off her phone with one hand, "What do you think I'm going to do to you?" the young man said, "It's just...... I asked you a question earlier, what if my mind never changed?"

"You and she are already ......," she tilted her head to say something.

"You say Catherine?" he said, looking into her eyes, "I'm not engaged to anyone, and I'm not married. ”

Su Xiaoqi looked up in surprise. "This ......"

"You've already sued me just now!" He lowered his head slightly, put it in her ear and said, "You still think about me in your heart." ”

In an instant, she was hugged by an elegant man with extreme strength, "There is never a past between us." A warm breath between his noses, brushing his cheeks, "I won't let you go!" The dark eyes met his light blue and charming pupils.

His fingers touched her face, and he kissed her inside the church when he had always thought it was impossible to be with Alan.

The slender and powerful arms held her tightly in his arms, and the sense of touch converged to the place where the lips met, and the light of the setting sun was so pure that he could smell the fragrance of the fields through the windows, and the breeze blew gently through his ears......

The stained glass above his head shone brightly, and he looked up at her, "Things are complicated around me. I know that status, glory, power – nothing in the world is truly theirs, but I still want you to be around. ”

He lowered his head to her lips. The mouth is opened, the tongue invades the territory, and the mind is encroached on little by little.

Sucking the air in her mouth, so fine that it didn't leave a single gap, her feet gradually weakened, and she couldn't pull away even a little, and her hands unconsciously hugged the man, overlapping behind his back. Next, I don't know if this is sober or sinking.

In front of the two of them appeared a man of about forty years old, dressed in black and wearing a cross necklace around his neck.

He coughed, "Sorry to bother." He regained his calm face and asked the two of them seriously, "Wait for the door to close, do you need help?"

He raised his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes turned over, it turned out to be the priest here.

The young man chuckled knowingly, "If you need it, I'll come back to you." The woman silently withdrew from his arms, her cheeks flushing with a faint flush, "Let's visit." ”

"Follow me. The man in black smiled and said, "I'll show you around." ”

They followed the priest, and the church was baroque, with some older sculptures and paintings, in a style that was ornate and flowing, deep and round, and at the same time ethereal.

Passing through the corridor on the right, there is a painting on the wall of a young man and a woman, hand-in-hand, dressed in a long gown, walking into a dense verdant vineyard.

The man dressed in black also looked at the oil painting and said, "This painting represents the four loves in Greek, eros, storge, philia, and agape." ”

The priest explained to the two: "First, eros refers to love and *sex* love between a man and a woman. The second, the storge, represents the love between relatives and brothers. The third, philia, is the highest love in the world, which involves at the same time a passionate relationship between body, mind and spirit, and an intimate and tender relationship, but like the first two RGEs, it is an involuntary reaction, the light will still flicker, the heat will be extinguished and cooled. ”

"The fourth, agape, rarely appears in the published literature. This love is not something weak, unaffected by feelings, but with wisdom, strength and keen insight, she will overcome it with her will and seek the highest good of the other person. ”

She sighed in her heart, it was really philosophical! Suddenly she felt that her left hand was being held by the people around her. Suddenly, Su Xiaoqi raised her head and met his eyes.

Alan said: "No matter what the future holds, your place in my heart will not change, believe me." ”

She lowered her eyelashes slightly and said slowly, "If you don't change, I won't change either." ”

Walking into the hall on the right side of the church, they looked to the left again. Above it is a statue of Christ, and the Son in a robe lowers his eyes and silently gazes at the world.

She admired the statues of gods, the Church of God, the lonely Jesus in Islam, and the Eve and the Serpent in Manichaeism.

These basic myths of mankind penetrate and refer to each other, but no set of religious myths is as deep and coherent as the Gnostic schools, and the spirit and will buried in them seem to be in the abyss with the believers.

The woman stepped forward and said, "There is a saying that at the beginning of nothing, there is no beginning and no end. There is only eternal eternity, which always exists, and it always exists, and then in this perfect and infinite extension is created the Son Christ. The creation of zào is only an extension of the effect and there is no essential difference, this is the Tao of the one, although there is an order but there is no difference, just one, the Holy Son and the Lord have no duality except for the order of creation zào. In an instant, the Son who lived in heaven had a hint of delusion. ”

"There is no duality in the Lord, who is one and perfect. But a hint of his delusion led him to death, which is the opposite of heaven. So Adam fell asleep and never woke up. ”

Speaking of which, Su Xiaoqi felt that it might not be quite in line with orthodoxy. She turned her head, but the man in black smiled and said, "The Holy Spirit is in people's hearts, and what he said is right." The first word is God, but the words of the Bible are different from the first words, and if they cannot read the Holy Spirit behind the words of the Bible, people will die in the words. ”

"Scripture is inspired, revealed to mankind, limited by human writing, and cannot replace the inspired God. Those who dwell on the Bible itself and are content with the knowledge of the Bible cannot know God. ”

Along the way, out of professional habits, she wondered what kind of person and era left this work here.

The man in black, who walked in front, saw that the young woman seemed to be interested in the art of the church's statues, and walked to the pulpit and took out a coloring book with a beautiful portrait of a person on the cover.

He turned to her and said, "I'll give you this hand-painted book." ”

The woman took the picture book and looked at it, on the title page of the painting, an apple tree had many red fruits on it, closed the picture book in her hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Saying goodbye to the priest, a young man and woman with blond hair walked out of the church door. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and said, "Arrange for someone to pick us up." ”

The black sedan drove on the street, the police car roared in front of the road, she and the young man sat in the back, the hotel lights flashed on the street, and various shops and bars lined up, Egbert sat in the car dressed in white, like a king, his blonde hair fell down his neck, "Stay by my side for the past two days." She looked at her, "Hmm." ”

He said to the driver, "Let's go to the old house." ”

The black sedan drove into the gate of a manor, and from the pattern of the iron railing, it looked like an English castle, majestic, majestic, and the railing was crawling with green vines, which had an eerie and antique feeling.

He was sad that he didn't value himself, but he understood that this was a small group of people who had saved themselves in the world at the top of the pyramid, and they were connected by blood, education, family ties and marriage, and their way of life had never changed much.

She had heard about the family, and their Georgian mansion on Seventeenth Street, also known as Rice Castle, had another meaning - the castle of lies. There are many theories about the origin of the name, one of which is the Mass held by Beric Rothschild.

When a girl falls in love with a man and wants to marry him, she is not just in love with him, but also with his lifestyle, family background and social background.

A good marriage is not the standard of God, it is not that a person who is talented, determined, self-reliant, and beautiful will meet a standard good lover. If you don't appear weak in this love, you won't be sad about the feeling of not being valued, ignored, put down, and forgotten.

Since love has been decided, it means that they will each bear the future of this relationship. When a love comes, it is happy and needs to be paid, and we must learn to accept disappointment, pain and parting, and accept that life is no longer pure.

Walking into the house, the hall was lit up with gorgeous lights, even the wall lamps were so exquisite, all in classical style, and the young man took her upstairs.

Entering the room, she looked around, and the interior decoration, both the wallpaper and the ceiling, were from the 19th century, the rococo ceiling, the silver cast seven-branch candlestick, and the 18th-century bed.

The clear eyes cast over, as if she was still a teenager at the time, looked at her and said, "It's not early, go to sleep." Alan knew that she was calm on the surface, but in fact, she had the same palpitations as before, "Here, you can rest in peace." ”

The woman sat on the bed and reached for her shoes. A hand had preceded hers, grabbing the smooth calf.

He bent down and gently took off his heels for her, and then the other. She pulled over the quilt and lay down on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

He walked over to the hanger, took off his suit, hung it up, and went to the bed, where he sat down and lay down on her side.

Hearing him breathing evenly lying beside him, she opened her eyes and turned her head to look at his face, as if she had returned to the time before, but in a different mood.

I came to Russia, went to England, and after some struggle, I understood a lot of things that I never understood. All the mistakes, sorrows, separations and tears actually originate from the collision of two worlds.

Now that she knows his intentions, she has no regrets in her heart, and she is not afraid of anything.

The man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and the blue eyes were opposite the black pupils, and a figure was reflected. He stretched out his slender arm and took her into his arms.

Su Xiaoqi pillowed her head in his arms, and what she smelled at the tip of her nose was the faint fragrance of soaphorn on her clothes, and now there was only the temperature of Allen's arms, letting her know that a qiē was real.

She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. In the early morning, there was a crisp birdsong on the windowsill.

The blonde young man in his nightgown walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window, his fingers pulling open the ornate curtain a little, and a bright white light came in......

The woman lay on the bed and opened her eyes lazily, there was no one by the pillow, looked at the clock, and slept until ten o'clock in a daze, and Alan didn't know when she got up.

Su Xiaoqi got up from the bed, and before she could take a step, she heard a gentle knock on the door: "Miss, I'll deliver something." ”

Opening the door, a lady in a professional suit walked in, "This is what the gentleman ordered me to prepare for you." She turned to see some new clothes on the table, and the woman said, "See if there is anything missing, and you may command me." ”

The lady in the professional suit said, "If you're looking for Mr., he's downstairs." ”

Su Xiaoqi walked down the stairs, did not see Allen, and walked to a spacious study, the walls and furnishings were extremely luxurious, and the most expensive Persian carpet was laid underneath. There seemed to be a figure sitting on the sofa next to the bookshelves behind the partition. "Hello. ”

She remembered the voice, and when they first met, a chill rose up her spine. Turning around, an elderly man in his sixties sat on a sofa with a cane. "I'm suddenly interested in you!"

The legendary ruler of the Rosehill family is sitting in front of her. He struck a match and lit a cigar in his hand. "Let me see you. ”

The woman walked over and sat down slowly in front of the old man, "Long time no see, Mr. Rosehill, you seem surprised?"

She opened her mouth lightly: "Why, interested in me?"

The old man took a shallow puff with a cigar between his fingers, and the air was filled with the rich smell of cigar smoke, "You accompanied my grandson in his childhood, and after many years, he came to this child I cherished again." ”

Mr. Rosshill narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "There's something in you, guided, guided, and here, so I'm curious. Leaning over to her, "You, what a strange mind...... Very interesting. ”

The blonde young man walked out from behind the peach-colored partition at the back of the study, looked over with clear eyes, walked to Su Xiaoqi's side, he sat down and said, "What are you talking about?"

Mr. Rosehill smiled, "Feel free to talk to your little girl." ”

A large warm hand wrapped around hers, and he smiled: "Katerina and I will go to Rome soon." If it's decided, it won't change. ”

Mr. Rosehill looked at the two of them and smiled, "You kid, just be happy." Little girl, we'll talk later. ”

The woman got up and said goodbye politely, and the young man pulled her to the door, got into a car, and went to a house in downtown New York.

Ascending the spiral staircase, they entered the room, their feet sunk into the ornate carpet, and the young man spoke, "You were silent in the car just now, do you have anything to say to me?"

She clasped her hands together and asked, "What did you say to your grandfather?"

The young man asked, "Don't you want to go back and see?"

She looked at Allen and asked, "Is that what Mr. Roshill wants to see me?"

"Don't worry, my grandfather just wants to see you. ”

Su Xiaoqi knew that Allen didn't tell her secrets, more out of protection for her.

Ignorance is also a blessing, but in this case, there were several times when she didn't even know what was going on with her.

She lowered her head and sighed deeply, "Alan, can't you leave your affairs to me?"

The blond young man lowered his eyes and looked at her, and hugged the woman from behind with a pair of arms, "There will be many people who want to see you in the future, and you have to get used to this, because I want you to be the mistress of the Rosehill family." ”

Su Xiaoqi snuggled up to Allen's chest, "Allen, although I want to go to Rome, I can't leave what I am doing, I want to go back to the company." ”

"Isn't Miss Wang's okay?" said the young man, "You, the acting chairman, have done a good job of recovering Wang's foreign debts during your term of office, and your burden should be put aside." ”

"Come with me for dinner today and go back tomorrow. The clear light swept over her, "Those who sniped you, don't worry, don't dare to come out." ”

In the evening, the two of them went to a fine dining restaurant, silently enjoying the tranquility of the moment, until night fell, and a warm and delicate lamp was lit up in front of the table.

There was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and after a while, Su Xiaoqi opened the door in a yukata, her black hair hanging down her shoulders, dripping water droplets, and digging her hair dry with a towel.

She had gone to bed very early last night, she had no sleep, and now she had nothing to do, and she felt in her coat pocket, in which was a book, presumably brought back from the priest, and she began to flip through it.

On the painted title page, under the starry sky at night, a huge ancient serpent coiled around the earth, the devil, has been eyeing Adam and Eve since the creation of the world.

The apple tree bears a lot of red fruit, and Adam and Eve ate the fruit, not knowing that it was a lie.

A ripe apple lands on the ground......

The Son who fell into a deep sleep, he never woke up, and evil spread like a plague, and everything was covered with this layer of dead malice. The ancient snake coiled over the earth in the night, and it had been eyeing humans all the time, waiting for the birth of the boy when the great snake devoured him.

There are people in this world who, with the knowledge of the ages, are able to foresee the future through celestial phenomena and know all the future "pillars of time" in the development of history that were set at the time of creation.

A verdant tree bears much fruit of life, but the man sleeps...... After a long period of time, God has opened a timecapsule—the hidden wisdom of the ages.

Opening the door, a young man with blond hair walked out, he was wearing a white bathrobe, his hair fell down his shoulders, he was holding a towel in his hand, drying his hair, and when he looked back, he saw that the woman was reading a book.

She had just bathed, her skin was white and red, she was wearing a silk pajamas, a few locks of hair were naughtily hanging down in front of her sideburns, her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she was lying on the bed looking seriously.

Closing the book in her hand, she felt someone approaching, and before she could look up, a large hand covered her hand.

The fingers were slender and beautiful, and they looked along the white hand—

The blonde young man picked up the picture book, flipped through it gently, obviously not interested, put it down and said, "You still like to read religious philosophy?"

Su Xiaoqi blinked her eyelashes: "This is a very typical story. Well, the content of the cryptic, first of all, the meaning of apple, is not accidental, it is the basic knowledge of cryptology. The apple is a symbol that represents a consciousness and a key to uncover the secrets of humanity itself. ”

Allen's pajamas were slightly open, revealing graceful collarbones, "What's so strange about that? Because the image of the apple itself hints at gravitational lines, and many more." ”

He clasped his hands together and said, "Of course, it is nothing special in itself, it is just a fruit. But it is (deliberately) given a message or a consciousness, and thus becomes a representative, creating the essence of humanity, and the fate of humanity in the past and future. ”

"You think they learn to distinguish between good and evil when they eat apples?"

"Well, what is it?"

"Let me sue you. ”

The smell of his body is like a long-brewed wine, which is intoxicating. The man lowered his head and kissed her lips, carefully opening her lips and teeth, kissing shallowly.

"You're mine, long ago. There is a certain temptation in the deep, magnetic and sexy voice.

The pajamas were taken off along the shoulders, "I'm yours too." "At this moment, only body temperature can be used to determine that they really belong to each other.
