Soft light poured through the silver glass windows into the glorious halls of the church.

The blonde woman was sitting in a chair bowing her head in prayer when a man in a suit walked in and stood behind her waiting for the woman to finish her prayer.

He whispered, "Miss, Sir and the woman went in and out together, and I heard that there was also an art fair. ”

Catherine lowered her golden eyelashes and said lightly, "Didn't you say that you don't need to report this kind of thing?"

She slowly put on her gloves, a common thing in the upper classes, just as she smiled nobly and gracefully, and gracefully told her that no one would interfere with his love affair with a woman, and that there was only one thing she wanted from beginning to end—and that was a place beside him. For men, love is only 30% of their life, and if it is only love, then the passion will fade after all.

The frenzy is short-lived...... When the enthusiasm fades, the love born of that woman's youth and beauty is like a bubble born of Venus, which bursts at the touch of a button.

That's why she has such self-confidence and controls the overall situation.

When the man in the suit received a message, he turned around and said, "Sir is going to take a picture of the ring that the master made for Empress Joseph for that girl." ”

Catherine came back to her senses, if it was just Pang Ai who had gone too far, maybe she was fascinated by the little girl, but it was not surprising. The woman lifted the pair of emerald eyes, and Egbert did not look like a man who would be fooled by a woman, if this was the result of his rational calculations......

The other thing in her mind is that the Wilson family has a lot of interests with the Roche Hill family, and in this case, it is unlikely that Egbert will directly refuse the invitation of the Wilson family.

Catherine looked at the cross on the altar, why did she have a terrible conjecture about it? She said to herself, because you have discovered something, the man you like is not interested in you at all, you think that one day, he will open the door of your heart to you, but in fact it is far away. He doesn't reject you outright, but his heart never belongs to you.

At an art museum in New York, she and Allen walked up to the works on display, and the curator led them to the lobby, where the gray-haired man in his fifties introduced them, "There are a lot of 18th and 19th century art exhibits in the museum. ”

They saw a delicate oil painting, and she walked up to the glittering work of art, looked at the painting, and then turned to look at him: "Have you heard the story? Orpheus and Eurydic are a couple, and joy does not belong to mortals for long, so they are separated by yin and yang. ”

The young woman stared at the painting: "He refuses to accept this result, without which life cannot go on, and he wants to do what no one has ever done before and cannot do—" and her white fingers almost touched the frame, "that is, no one can transcend death and God." ”

"He used his mastery of music to take on the ultimate challenge, to open the door to the world of the dead, and to take her away from the netherworld—the beautiful melody touched everyone in the netherworld, whether cruel or ruthless—even the god burst into tears. ”

But God once again confirmed to him that His absolute dominion over the dead was again against his lover Eurydice. ”

The long-haired woman stared at the painting, "The word music, in ancient Greek, means not only singing but also spells, which often possess supernatural powers. ”

"In some old stories, words and music are magical things," she said. ”

She looked back at him and the curator, of course it was impossible to tell the people around her about the time travel, just coming to the world of a book by herself sounded incredible!

The curator stood aside and said, "Miss, I agree with what you just said. I believe that mythology shows us the power of nature and the magic of literature and art. ”

She turned to look at him.

The curator smiled and said, "Isn't there a story here? There was a sculptor in ancient Greek mythology, who carved his statue wholeheartedly, loved his works obsessively, and moved the goddess of love and art to bring her to life. ”

I didn't expect him to mention this story, she blinked and said mischievously, "Sir, what are you trying to sue me?

The curator said, "No, miss, I'd like to say it's the Pygmalion effect. As for your latter question, why is it impossible?"

"The American writer Morgan Robson turned his novel into an astonishing reality, and the same events took place in the novels of the British writer Frederick Forsyth, and their stories, the time, the events, the protagonists, the scenes, were actually played out in reality. ”

She blinked in astonishment at the curator, she didn't expect to hear such an amazing topic here, and looked at Alan beside her, a person like him probably wouldn't believe in some illogical story, believing that the story of a book was related to himself.

She thought that even she probably couldn't understand the novel and the world, so how could she make others believe it?

When the blonde young man heard this, he smiled slightly: "If this is a coincidence, it must be a very sophisticated coincidence. ”

"The story itself is an effort by human beings to discover the true meaning of this universe and the chaos of life, and the origin of every branch of modern science can be traced back to Greek mythology. ”

He looked at her and said, "Isn't the strange things that Leonardo da Vinci drew on paper also things in today's reality? What we thought was impossible might become possible, and myths have always been very close to us." ”

She frowned and muttered, "You say the 'Pygmalion effect'?"

The blonde young man lifted his blue eyes under the thick eyelashes and explained, "The Pygmalion effect, people get what they expect, and you don't get what you want, but what you expect." ”

She mused, "Sounds familiar?"

"Really?" he smiled, and continued, "if there is a sophisticated science in this world, then there must also be a sophisticated art. Greek tragedies represent the strict laws of physics, symphony composers fiddle with notes with mathematical precision, and the basic principles of painting, perspective, and solid geometry are a systematic discipline. ”

Su Xiaoqi's mind immediately appeared like a science genius reading through the history of literature, did he go to read the materials? She has always felt that the brain structure of young people should not have much in common with them in the field of literature and art, and in his brain full of rational and logical thinking, everything is composed of the laws of mathematics and physics, but she didn't expect to be able to talk to them about it and link science and art together.

If it weren't for the Rosehill bloodline, he would probably grow into a glittering scientist.

Not...... But IQ is inherited from parents.

After the tour, they came out of the museum, looked around and went to a nearby auction.

Su Xiaoqi had no intention of visiting here, but the auctioneer was introducing an extra-large enamel diamond ring, "a diamond enamel ring that the famous jewelry master of the nineteenth century spent two months handcrafting. ”

The color map on the screen zooms in to let everyone see the details. The auctioneer's voice said, "The material is set with a gemstone, a center diamond with a central facet, and 37 0.69 carat diamonds. ”

The shock brought by the rare top diamond is irresistible, like the light that cannot be forced...... The gemstones are a translucent blue, but what really makes them stunning is the delicate flower-shaped tiara set with 37 diamonds, like a morning dew-adorned crown.

The whole work is like the golden waves on the sea, the romantic moonlight...... Just looking at it is intoxicating, as if the light rippling from the beautiful nature is intertwined with different light senses. The lot immediately aroused the interest of the buyers in the audience, and some of them exchanged heads.

The exquisite jewelry also attracted Su Xiaoqi's attention, and her gaze paused for a moment, the picture above showed the swan in the lake, representing the goddess Venus and a symbol of happiness, and the blonde man next to her looked at her.

"One of the world's most famous jewels, this one-of-a-kind ring is set with rare gemstones carefully selected by the master to create the crowned ring of love," said the auctioneer. ”

Someone put up the sign first, and the auctioneer immediately raised his hand.

"A million. ”

"One million and one million. ”

"One and a half million. ”

"One million and eight million. ”

"Two million. ”

More and more buyers were holding their signs, and the price skyrocketed until the blonde man gestured to the auctioneer.

"Five million. The auctioneer's voice was a little excited, "Is there anything higher?"

"Alan, I think it......" Su Xiaoqi reacted, "It's too precious." "It's just...... None of the works of art he bought with her were not valuable? But she knew that the art she bought would bring him a 40% return on investment every year, and she had no objection to buying jewelry with her, and it was the first time he had bought jewelry with her.

She turned to Alan and said, "Let's see." ”

The people around them were quiet, and no one was competing with them. The valuable ring belonged to Allen, and the million-dollar deal took only a few minutes.

Sitting in the car, the young man opened the box and took out the ring, the enamel diamond ring reflects the light of nature, with the top color, brilliant and charming.

She came back to her senses and knew what he was going to do, "Alan?"

Sitting in the car, he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to brush Su Xiaoqi's long silky hair, looked at the girl beside him, curled his lips and smiled lowly, "This jewelry matches you very well, why don't you try it?"

Holding her left hand, the enamel ring that reflected the same dazzling color as his blonde hair and eyes was put into her finger.

The inner ring of the band is carved with a pattern in gold, so that it fits on her fine white fingers. After she returned, she tried several methods, but she couldn't get the ring.

She raised her finger and finally said helplessly, "Alan, you have to think of a way." ”

The young man tugged her in his arms, and he took her hand, "Isn't it nice to wear it like this? ”

"You are not allowed to take it off. ”

She couldn't take off the ring, and some people who weren't used to walking there with such ostentatious things would hurt the gem, so she had to cover it with gloves.

At half past ten in the evening, the young man put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Alice, where is the dessert tonight?"

"Alan, didn't you use the fruit snack I made for you?"

He propped his chin with his hand, "I'm asking when I can eat you tonight?"

Her heart was beating wildly at his gaze, and she stammered, "You...... You...... It's not -- every time you want to do something, you ......."

As soon as the words fell, a slender and powerful arm reached out, she had been pulled into his arms, and she now had two choices, struggle or accept.

"Wait a minute, I want to say, I can't have children right now. ”

"It's okay, if you have a child, sue me. He stroked her face and said, "I think it's better to have two children." ”

She found that the topic went further, "Wait, I haven't thought about having a baby, it's up to me to decide!"

"Alice, are you sure you can give birth alone?"

It is certain that the number of paragraphs he teased her was getting higher and higher.

She retorted: "Don't come nonsense! If you dare to make me pregnant now, I will take my child and travel the world." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. He took her in his arms, "We'll talk about the child later." ”

"I'll be careful at this stage. ”

She glanced at him, but didn't dare to look at the other party, lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering.

Looking at the person in his arms, he said in a deep and charming voice, "Occasionally, tempt me?"

"Do you want me to teach you?" he said, bowing his head.

“......”

After a moment of silence, she raised her eyes, looked at him intently, stretched out her hand, pushed him against the wall, covered his eyes with her hand and said, "Close your eyes!"

In the days that followed, she didn't feel like there was much change, or she was used to it.

She received the famous jewellery economy at her mansion in Harmanton, admired the fine gems and antiques brought by various people, wrote a check with ease, and then told Alan about the origin and legend of the antique with a beautiful mood.

No more worrying about planning an event or art fair, no more worrying about not having enough money to buy a rare art......

Emerging from the building of the Art Finance Center, the young woman paused, looking at the ever-changing giant screen on the streets of Manhattan announcing the unpredictability of the world's financial center, while the mansion hundreds of meters behind her had a heavy sense of history. This may be the end of her career, she thought.

The woman made her way through the bustling crowd as a black car slid in front of her, lowered her head, and got into the car.

The black sedan slid forward.

The young man sitting on the seat shook her hand, "What were you thinking when you were standing in the doorway?"

Su Xiaoqi looked up at the skyscrapers on Manhattan Street outside the window, "I think there will be a place here that will become a museum in a short time." ”

Looking back at him: "Even if hundreds of years later, finance is gone, and it is no longer the financial center of the world, art will live on in people's hearts."

One part of her life has ended, and another has really begun......
