After the black extended Bentley stopped, the young man got out of the car first, glanced at the girl in the car, bent down and made an inviting gesture, sooner or later he would have to be with him, and it was better to get used to this occasion earlier.

She was a little puzzled, the dress on her body was like she had prepared it earlier, could it be that he knew that she would participate in such an occasion with him?

It didn't even fit the size, and it wasn't the harsh corset size, she blushed slightly, remembering that Alan had visually measured her bust before. What's more, he also hugged and watched her...... When did it start and Alan already counted so far?

The blonde young man was slender, and he cast his gentle eyes and looked at the young girl. "Alice, come down!"

He is surrounded by a gentle but noble temperament, mixed with the maturity and sensuality of men, which cannot be described in words.

She reacted, everyone watched, and waited, where could she hide? Even if she didn't want to come out, she couldn't do it! He really had already made arrangements, right?

Although the dress was a corset, fortunately it was not the size of those women desperately corseted her breasts and waists, otherwise she would have to suffocate to death. From the earliest times, aristocratic ladies have tied their waists, and in "Gone with the Wind", Scarlett's slender waist is painfully tied to 17-18 inches.

Queen Catherine of France set a standard at her court: 14 inches, and women with waistlines larger than this size were not welcome.

The girls had to wear corsets when they slept, and the stronger the restraints on women, the more they could reflect their ladylike temperament, and the intensity of these restraints even reached an unimaginably extremely terrible Cheng dù. In the time of Elizabeth I, it reached an extreme: 13 inches, and I don't know how many women died of childbirth.

So Su Xiaoqi actually didn't like this so-called "lady's tradition", but Alan seemed to know what she needed, and he specially prepared this dress for her.

Su Xiaoqi didn't know what to say, and after glaring at him, she slowly put her hand in the young man's hand and got out of the car with a ladylike appearance.

The young man's dazzling blonde hair is like the golden years of the evening breeze, although it exudes the scorching feeling of summer, the surface is cold and cold, and the complicated and old-fashioned dress is worn by him in a straight and elegant style.

The slender hand of the girl beside him was held by him, only the sleeve hem peeked out from between his arms, and the gorgeous skirt rested on the ground, covering the feet of the two men.

They looked incomparably beautiful in the eyes of the guests, like a blonde prince and princess, what a beautiful picture, but they didn't know the private interaction between the two.

Behind them were flowers and trees, and in front of them were the majestic castle gates.

The hall is unusually large and splendid, with antique candlesticks and crystal ceilings shining on each other, and the walls on all four sides are covered with large oil paintings.

The waiter quietly walked among the guests with a drink.

On the long table in the center of the hall is an ice-carved goose, illuminated by a chandelier. It is lined with a variety of delicate dishes, bright and cute food and pastries.

The hall is full of guests dressed in fragrant buns and shadows, and the stars are brilliant.

Young women gather together to comment on the men or communicate with their male partners, covering their mouths and chuckling from time to time.

The intricately carved walls of the hall are hung with old and expensive paintings, and even the solemn crystal chandeliers that rotate above their heads have some history.

Until the moment when Allen and Su Xiaoqi entered at the same time-

The attention of the guests was once again focused, and the two of them walked slowly from the entrance of the hall.

Su Xiaoqi felt the surprised gazes around her, and took a deep breath, she knew that coming with Allen would be like this.

Julio stood on the red and brown carpet and looked at Su Xiaoqi.

There were so many beautiful and beautiful ladies in the crowd, and the young people saw her instantly, because of some common hobby? Maybe it was because of the blood relationship? Maybe it was because the blond young man beside him was too conspicuous?

For Katarina, he naturally paid more attention than any girl before.

The two have met several times, is it blood attraction?

She raised her head and was about to walk forward, regardless of the different eyes of the guests around her, she saw a young man walking with graceful and steady steps on the red and brown blanket.

Suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?" said the young man, looking down at her.

When he looked up, he saw Julio walking towards the two of them.

With a typical aristocratic smile, Giulio walked towards them step by step, his Italian black evening dress and snow-white shirt complemented each other, mixed with a touch of arrogance and arrogance.

The aristocratic circles were big and small, and family members from all over Europe could climb into relatives, but Caterina was more connected to him than anyone present.

Since the last time he met Caterina at a banquet, the relationship between art and finance in Egbert's words has been going on for a long time, and Giulio naturally understands the strong hints and warnings of this possession.

He just didn't think Egbert was a man who would be interested in such activities, and that the Rosshill family's financial center was influential on Wall Street, Switzerland, etc., and there was no need to meddle in the art world.

He didn't think that a man would be infatuated to such an extent, not to mention that the other party was an excellent inheritor who had been strictly cultivated by a big family like theirs.

But of course he didn't say anything, just smiled: "Today's Grayden Castle faction has Mr. Egbert here, which is really a thing that makes this place shine. ”

Despite the twists and turns of his mind, on the surface, Giulio has done enough excellent etiquette. He stood to Su Xiaoqi's left hand side and made a gesture of invitation to her and Egbert.

The attention of the guests is focused again!

The two most eye-catching men in the hall were Egbert and Giulio, who were undoubtedly the envy of women, no matter who their dance partners were tonight.

Su Xiaoqi didn't feel good at all, the combination of left and right beside her, Egbert and Julio completely occupied everyone's attention.

A series of pensive or unclear gazes were cast at her, and even she felt that the skin on her face was about to be burned by the focused gaze.

She still wore a graceful smile, looking back at every gaze with a gentle, determined smile of social style, and thought to herself that she was probably a sparrow sandwiched between two suns, so she was scorched?

The two most dazzling young people in the audience, one left and one right, accompanied by the young woman who was completely strange to the circle, walked into another door of grace and luxury.

It wasn't until the three figures disappeared that the silence in the hall was suddenly broken, and the noisy discussion quietly rang out, and there was only one center of the topic: the girl from that family? could be looked at differently by the heads of the two families at the same time, Egbert and Julio, and what was her identity for them to receive them personally?

The three of them are walking inside the castle to see the history of the castle as Giulio explains its history. Egbert didn't interject, he just stood beside Su Xiaoqi and listened.

At last, Julio summoned the maid beside him and ordered, "Prepare the rooms for Miss Caterina and Mr. Egbert for tonight." ”

"A place where no one is allowed to disturb. When he gave orders to his subordinates in a cold tone, she found that feeling of superiority in Julio, it turned out that this was the real noble.

"It's rare for Caterina to be here, and I naturally have to be prepared for my cousin. Giulio said with a smile.

He has turned that aristocratic arrogance and reserve into intangible, hidden under the bewildering smile and posture, and since he was a child, he has soaked elegance and upbringing in his bones like poison, so that anyone who talks to him will have a kind of comfort like a spring breeze.

Giulio is the son of a true family, whether it is a decent smile on his lips or an elegant demeanor, it is not something that can be cultivated by generations, but can only be mastered after hundreds of years of grace.

However, how could Egbert, as the excellent head of the Roshill family, be inferior? Young, dazzling, graceful, but noble temperament is intricately and skillfully combined in one person. The chuckle on the young man's lips seemed to come from the most beautiful light in nature.

Egbert pursed the corners of his lips and smiled, "It's okay, Caterina and I will go back tonight." ”

Giulio raised an eyebrow, and he turned his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask Caterina's opinion, right? ”

Su Xiaoqi reacted, how could there be any reason not to climb up the pole, and hurriedly said, "Julio is my cousin, I want to stay here." ”

In her opinion, being with Julio is undoubtedly much better than being with Allen, because she is still very confused about her feelings.

But Alan is invading her life little by little, invading her emotions and thoughts, facing his pressing step by step, she needs to take a breath away from the other party's gaze too much.

Egbert could see a qiē clearly, but he did it in the gentlest way. If you want to get a woman, you can actually use many means, even to trap her, imprison her, quickly and decisively squeeze her in his hands, or turn her into what he wants.

However, he also understood one thing, people are not things. Alan said lightly, "Don't play too long, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

He knew that he had taken root in her heart, and if he hadn't taken into account Su Xiaoqi's feelings in her heart, she would have had a chance to get out of his side.

Su Xiaoqi listened for a moment, the tone and meaning of this sentence were really ambiguous, and she lowered her eyelashes, "Don't wait, I'll go back by myself." ”

The first dance of the ball was about to begin, and the gentlemen leaned over to invite the ladies with the most formal etiquette. Su Xiaoqi glanced at Alan beside him and said, "I promised Julio to dance with him for the first time." ”

Egbert looked over, his gaze swept over Su Xiaoqi's eyes, and he didn't say anything.

Crystal chandeliers illuminate the hall. Hand in hand, a pair of upper-class men and women began to dance the first dance.

"When did you and Egbert meet?" asked Julio as he danced with her.

From Katerina's eyes looking around, he could see that she seemed to want to avoid Egbert, so he quietly arranged this qiē.

"We met when we were kids. Su Xiaoqi lowered her eyes and replied.

"Old acquaintance?" Julio raised his eyebrows.

Although she was a playmate when she was a child, she was still with Caterina now, and anyone present could tell that the blonde young man was not ordinary to her, and it was no longer the intention of the drunkard to drink. Egbert, as the steward of the Rosehill family, goes in and out with her, with a certain sense of assertion of possession.
