Chapter 76

She fidgeted, and the jade hand was held by the young man in white, and she quietly tried to pull it out of his hand, but without success.

He attracted all the attention of the audience in an instant just now, whether it was a smile or raising his eyebrows, it made people feel handsome and compelling, he couldn't take his eyes off, and even the arc of his head was indescribably elegant, his own temperament was different, probably this is the so-called protagonist effect!

Taking pictures of art for her, as a woman, I really can't hate this way of pursuit, and I can even say that I am slightly touched in my heart. If money can measure love, there is no doubt that every woman hopes that her lover can spend money for herself, not because of the amount of money, but because of her value in the eyes of the other party.

Whether he possesses her or loves her, she has never been clear, so she doesn't want the relationship between the two to be so fast and enter the next stage without knowing it.

After all, this is not in her novel, and she is not the heroine! his attack can catch her off guard, because she is not completely emotionless for Alan, and if Eren is just an ordinary good man, she would not be so indecisive.

She thought to herself, what did he mean by this? Maybe it was like taking a fancy to a favorite flower? Prune it and transplant it into a pot? If you just want to get her, a ring, the last time you saved her, you can repay her by giving grace!

The auctioneer said, "The following is an oil painting by a modern artist," and the auctioneer turned his head to the audience and said, "The owner of the gallery who provided this work has arrived in New York City, so please ask her to come up to the stage and tell you about the origin of this work!"

The buyers' eyes moved to the audience curiously, and Su Xiaoqi whispered to Allen, "Let go!" Getting up from her seat, she firmly withdrew her hand from the other party's hand.

No matter how dazzling the person next to her is, how magnificent his career is, and how small her own path is, after all, it is the life path she pursues, even if there is only a faint light of dreams, she must insist on going step by step.

The moment she walked on stage, she finally fulfilled her promise to the painter Olenz to sell his paintings to the best clients.

Su Xiaoqi said on stage, "You must want to know who is the woman in this painting? She is one of the few women in the history of the Renaissance who has been approved by mainstream scholars. ”

"If there were no female bole and guardians to participate in the art process, for the artists, I don't know what the spring of their creation would be, and what kind of monotony and barrenness would today's art history be?"

Life is a dream of all kinds of coincidences, and if it weren't for the theft at the Milan auction house, which attracted the attention of collectors, and Julio introduced her to the auction and collecting authorities. You may not be able to contact the largest auction house in New York, and even if you do, they may not be interested in his paintings.

"Please take a look at its painting techniques, it is definitely a rare masterpiece. "Having dealt with people like Julio, she has a bit of luxury and elegance with a smile on her face.

"The portrait is a woman praised by Niccolò as the 'first lady of the world' and Bandilo as the 'heroine among women' - Isabella, the first woman of the Renaissance, the famous Renaissance masters Leonardo da Vinci and Titian have her portraits handed down, and the starting price of this portrait is $100,000. ”

"500,000!"

"600,000!"

"700,000!"

In a short time, the price soared to $3 million, which was already an incredible price for a painter who was not very well-known.

The portrait was eventually sold for $3.1 million by an Oriental face, and the auction house staff carried the treasure away, and according to the auction house's process, each buyer would sign a contract individually at a later date.

Returning to his seat, many eyes looked at the young woman, speculating on her relationship with the person next to her.

Some of you can see the identity of the young man, the new head of Roche, Roche is almost an enduring myth in the financial world, and given their enormous wealth, they can buy almost everyone's works.

When the auction ended, Su Xiaoqi was about to get up from her seat, and Alan looked at her, "Auction a qiēshun lì?"

She nodded, "Hmm." ”

When she walked to the door, she said in a businesslike tone, "Mr. Egbert, as for that Chinese antique, because it is for the HZ Chamber of Commerce, if you give it to me personally and cannot afford it, I will return it to you in the form of a check." ”

"Alice, do you and I have to be like this?" he said, "and if a man is helping with a suitcase, it's rude to refuse, and it's self-defeating, you know?"

She whispered, "Mr. Egbert, what do you want her to do? to be a decent, sensible girl who pleases you?"

"Alice," he took her hand, "you come here." ”

"What for?" she looked at him with a wary gaze, a far cry from the way she had been unguarded against him before.

Alan calmly grabbed her hand and said, "Go see the sunset over Manhattan." ”

"I'm not going!" she replied to Egbert with a reluctance, but there was no other choice but to follow him through the streets to the Empire State Building, the financial center.

"You take me there"

"Go and see my empire. "Stepping into the palatial lobby, security personnel stepped forward to open the elevator for them and escorted them to the top floor.

The elevator slowly rose, and his clear eyes seemed to be able to see a thing, including her secrets—she curled up in the corner of the elevator, looking down to avoid his peering eyes.

Behind the glass curtain wall, they looked down on the vast crowd of people in Manhattan, looked up at the sky beyond the spire of the Empire State Building, looked up at the delicate sun hanging high in the middle of the day, and looked at the streets of Manhattan through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The young man in white was trimmed with gold in the sunset, with a gentle smile like a spring breeze, "Alice, you see that the sunset here is beautiful." ”

Yes, the sky was so close, she could already feel the scorching heat of the sun shining through the steel glass, so warm that people couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the floating clouds that seemed to be close at hand.

I don't know if there is a place in this world that is close to such a flawless sky, she was in a reverie, a few locks of blonde hair of top color floated in front of her eyes, a warm breath bypassed her ears, flashing light blue eyes, bright and shiny so that she felt like she was in a different world, and she took a step back in shock.

He slowly lowered his head, the bridge of his nose straightened, and a thin line of lips, "Scared?"

It was dangerous to be alone with him, and there was a chemical reaction between him and her, a reaction that not only she understood, but also the other person.

"You don't have to hide from me, I won't hypnotize you. He stood in the room, smiling faintly.

Because from her pupils, he read the words in her heart: Alan, I have always liked you. Seeing this secret made him a little happy, smiled and said, "Would you like a glass of champagne?"

She shook her head indifferently: "No need. ”

The girl's expression was very different from his heart, and even if he wanted to take her in his arms and kiss her, it was as if a basin of cold water had extinguished the fire in his chest.

The young man in white suddenly pulled Su Xiaoqi over, her head hit his chest, his eyes looked at her seriously, and his slender fingertips gently brushed his crystal clear lips.

She had been forced against the glass wall by him, looking at his blue eyes, her eyes widening suddenly, her white fingers lifting her chin, and his movements carried a kind of seduction in the dim light of the room. "You don't want to be with me?" said the young man in her ear, "Is there anyone else in your heart?"

She tilted her head slightly, how could there be someone else in her heart? How to answer this question? Maybe it should be answered-yes? They had been separated for four years, and Alan was not necessarily familiar with everything.

"I have a first love—" She rolled her eyes, trying to name someone to make Eggbert worry a little.

Alan smiled faintly, her light blue eyes curved, and there was an indistinct dark fog surging inside: "So?" The cold lips suddenly imprinted on the back of her hand.

Instantly, his heart trembled, and at that moment, there was a feeling of ironing skin to skin, as if he was holding some kind of ritual with her, bending down as if kissing not her hand, but her heart!

He kissed the back of her hand, and even the curvature of his head was indescribably elegant, and the long eyelashes covering his eyes were golden and delicate, trembling slightly like a fan.

The girl's facial expression loosened for a moment, and she immediately withdrew her hand, but she couldn't do anything about the chemistry between her and him, the skin on the back of her hand was spicy, and the places he had kissed were burning! I'm going back. ”

The young man in white gently stretched out his hand, took the girl's hand and took her into his arms, lowered his eyelashes, "Look at me, even if you have someone else in your heart, it doesn't matter, I don't care about your past, I will pull that person out of your heart and crush it......"

The breath of his body was faint, wrapped around her waist, wrapped her little by little, soaked in thoughts, eroded all of them, and pressed his fingers on her face, "Say, what you just said in your heart." ”

Her eyes widened, what did she just say?

The blue eyes looked at her, "Why don't you look at me, what are you running away from?" lowered his head and kissed her white neck. No! Her body shuddered slightly.

Now completely under his control, the slightest cowardice on her part, or the intensification of resistance, will trigger possession and conquest by the other party*.

Her long hair fell down to cover her face, and she was hugged at the moment, no longer giving him any reaction, and her voice became calm and calm, "Alan, I'm going back." ”

She pushed his arm, "I'm tired! I want to go and rest!"

He used his fingers to pull out the long hair on the girl's forehead, her clear eyes, no joy or sorrow, like a frozen mirror, refracting a cold and sharp light, clearly reflecting his young and handsome face.

While he could have smashed her shell in no time, it was only a matter of time before it shattered with patience.

"Let's go to sleep!" he said, and picked her up, and she was startled, and in a hurry she took his arms around his shoulders and looked at him with wide eyes.

"What?" she glared at him.

He saw that Alice was really hiding in the shell like a hermit crab, and said, "I thought you wouldn't react to anything?

"Who's going to sleep together?"

"I mean sleeping together, do you want to sleep in the same room as me?" he finally managed to see a suspicious flush flash across her face.

Alan carried the girl into the bed in the room and put it down, the soft bed sank down heavily, knowing that she had been playing stupid, and lowered her head to cover the lips that she had been thinking about for a long time.

When he looked up, she was really stupid.

"Rest well. The young man in white smiled and walked to the door to say goodbye.

Su Xiaoqi picked up a pillow and threw it at him, she had an urge to go crazy, was Egbert in front of her really not dropped?
