9:23 a.m.

Vivien shook the goblet in her hand, and the wine rippled in the glass.

Haven't come yet? The gorgeous beauty drank the contents of the cup, pulled her long wavy hair behind her like a sunset, leaned on the clean dining table with most of her body, and swept her slightly intoxicated gaze through the faintly foggy window flowers.

Even she didn't know who she was waiting for, the messenger from the top of the mountains only explained the mission, and she didn't mention any specific details, and so far she didn't know anything about the age and gender of the person she was connected with, all she knew was ...... The agreed person will arrive at the agreed place at the appointed time and entrust her with the agreed goods.

But now......

Vivien raised her hand, and the hour and minute hands on the watch were exactly at an angle of 90 degrees.

Musha at 9:30 a.m.—his blue eyes were delicate as if he could drip water, and now half a day had passed since the appointed time, but the person had not yet appeared.

Understandable.

Plans couldn't keep up, she knew—no one could have predicted in advance that the Newsman auction would attract so many people.

The intoxicated gaze swept over the bustling world outside the window again, and after a circle, she stopped again in the bustling atmosphere of the bar—frankly, she regretted a little in her heart, that she should not have done so hard to those little bastards who coveted her appearance, so that now no one dared to approach her five yards on Wednesday, and she couldn't even talk to someone, and she couldn't even get rid of boredom and loneliness.

It's boring.

With that in mind, she raised her glass and drank its contents again.

Pity...... The wine was still not strong enough—the hazy drunken eyes were vaguely opened, and Vivien remembered the prosperous years in the cottage—taming the most irascible horses, conquering the strongest men, drinking the strongest wine, and slaughtering the most deserving.

Perhaps, she shouldn't have come, once this whirlpool is involved, there is no possibility of getting out. But now, the time has come, and there is nothing to say......

With a soft sigh, she raised her head, and was greeted by a handsome face.

Little white face...... Vivien was slightly disdainful in her heart, but on the surface, she still looked drunk—this was the top of the mountains, but it was not a place for her to act recklessly.

"Excuse me, ma'am, do you have anyone here?" As if he didn't see the eye-catching blank space around him, or maybe it was for this, "My daughter is a little scared, can I rest here for a while?" ”

Daughter?

The beautiful brows, the turquoise waves rippling, the beauty is incomprehensible.

"Is that your daughter?" The gaze finally stopped on the girl beside the man, the girl wore a rather childlike frog hat, and she looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but her delicate facial features still made her feel ashamed, "What a beautiful little princess." ”

"......" seemed to feel her gaze, and the girl lowered her eyelids slightly.

"Don't be afraid, be generous, be confident, have dad here, don't worry." The young-looking man noticed the slight change in the girl, bowed his head and encouraged the girl, and did not withdraw his gaze until she regained her head, smiled apologetically at the red-haired beauty, who was mostly slumped on the table, and then said, "Sorry, this kid doesn't move around much outside. ”

"You can see it." Vivien smiled at the father-daughter interaction, the warm atmosphere between them made her yearn for it, and even her bad feelings for men subsided a lot, and after hearing the other party's answer, she half-jokingly replied, "You are a good father, despite your deceptive appearance." ”

"Deceptive?" The man smiled dumbly, and then shook his head after a moment, "Actually, I'm not young at all. ”

"I can't see it." The slightly drunk beauty shook her glass and nodded to them, "Please be seated." ”

"Thank you." As he spoke, the man pulled the girl to sit opposite her, took two goblets from the table without notice, filled one of them, and shook his hand at the waiter in the crowd, his blue eyes looked at the drunken beauty in front of him, "Although it is a bit cunning to say this, I still have to say that a man's appearance is very deceiving." ”

"Quite a sly answer indeed." The two pairs of blue eyes intersected, and the corners of Vivien's mouth outlined a smile, and she straightened her sitting posture slightly, "But what I want to say is that when it comes to deceiving people, women are more proficient." ”

"Not necessarily." The man shook his wine glass and looked at him deeply, "Ma'am, maybe a little offended, I don't know if you have ever heard such a sentence?" ”

"This piqued my curiosity." Vivien took a sip of red wine, her eyes slightly drunk, her red lips intoxicated.

The man opposite admired her beauty generously, and his eyes were clear and he didn't look like a man - I saw him shake his head and look at her with a smile: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people, many people have said this to me, but I have not believed it until recently." ”

"So you believe it now?" The beautiful woman put down the wine glass in her hand, and the beautiful curves stretched inadvertently, with her slightly drunk expression, she had a chic style, "So do you think I am a beautiful woman?" ”

"Of course." The man didn't seem to hear the meaning of the words, and replied seriously.

"Really? I'm pretty good at lying to that? Vivien bit her lower lip, her eyes dripping with water.

"I can't answer that question, ma'am." The man on the other side was unmoved, just smiled faintly, "But I can tell you that I'm very good at deceiving people." ”

After hearing his words, she glanced at the handsome man in front of her fixedly, and then shook her head.

"I really don't see it."

She said that as a secret worker with a special mission, she was very wary of anyone who rashly approached her. However, in the man in front of her, she did not feel malice, nor did she find anything unusual, it seemed that he was just an ordinary man, just an ordinary father.

"So, aren't you being fooled by me?" The man didn't know what she was thinking, but said to himself, with a touch of pride, "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive, and my wife is a very good beauty." ”

"According to you, she's not a big liar?" Vivien noticed that when she said this, the girl who had been silently drinking fruit wine on the side glanced at her angrily - the little girl's drunken red face was very cute.

"yes, the big liar who stole my heart." The man replied with a shake of his glass, the contours of his face softening more and more, "Still, I didn't suffer, did I?" ”

"That's why men are big liars." Vivien smiled, then her eyes lingered on the girl in the frog hat, and she couldn't help but shake her head and ask, "But it's okay to say that in front of your daughter?" ”

"Rest assured, she's still too early to touch these things." The man replied, smiling and uttering words that bordered on cruelty, "Besides, it's better for her mother to worry about this—if I did, I guess it would be difficult for me to control my emotions and kill them all by accident." ”

"What a stern father-in-law." Vivien said, and her heart moved slightly: the man's expression just now did not seem to be fake, nor did he bluff at all, and his tone was soft as if he was saying a trivial matter—from this point of view alone, he was not simple, he was either the head of a noble family, or a strong man who was rampant...... Of course, the possibility of a professional scammer cannot be ruled out.

But in any case, it is not good.

She has a secret mission on her shoulders, and it is not a good thing to come into contact with the great nobles or the strong people on the top of the mountains. And even if the other party is just a liar, he will not give up when he targets her at this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find anything if he digs deeper.

- Do you want to start?

She hesitated slightly, not out of pity, but out of deeper concern.

If the other party is just a liar, she is sure that they will disappear silently, but if not...... Whether it is a nobleman or a strong person, her indiscriminate shots will only lead to worse results.

So......

"—you seem to be confused about what happened." Just as she was making a difficult decision, the man's voice suddenly sounded, like a thunderclap in the flat ground, which shocked her whole body, and she even woke up a lot with wine, "If it's convenient, you can tell me, maybe there is a way to help you share your worries." ”

"Thank you...... Thank. Vivien nodded, not reacting for a moment, "It's just waiting for someone." ”

"Yes...... I didn't expect there to be so many people at today's auction. "But it's much less crowded now than it was at the beginning, and I guess the people you're waiting for are coming soon—and we won't bother you anymore." ”

After speaking, he nodded slightly at her and took the girl's hand.

"Thank you for your hospitality, and I'll see you soon."

—so saying, he turned away.

"Goodbye."

- The frog-hat girl tugged at the brim of her hat, then followed in her father's footsteps.

"Thank you for your understanding, goodbye, and goodbye." Despite saying this to the two of them, Vivi's uneasiness swelled like a tide, and it grew stronger and stronger—could it be that he had discovered something, that he was in a hurry to go back and report the news—she didn't know, and she had no way of knowing.

All she could do was wait, wait for the connector to arrive, wait for the moment when the task was completed.

She didn't want to think about anything else.

Bored, she lay on the wine table again, her eyes fascinated at the crowd outside the window.
