Chapter 18: Black Swan, or White Swan?
The man on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, and Gu Nanqiao's expression quickly turned from anger to joy.
"Eight o'clock, but I'll have to bring a friend. You are not allowed to refuse. ”
Gu Nanqiao said a few more perfunctory words, then hung up the phone, and looked at Shen Qingtang's eyes too brightly.
Longing, hope, and pleading appear at the same time, as if it were a cat full of anticipation for small dried fish.
"Tang Tang, you can accompany me to the auction," Gu Nanqiao tried her best to come up with a reason that forced her to go, "There is Tang Yin's "Lonely Bird in Luoxia" to be auctioned. ”
Suzhou embroidery and painting art has always been inseparable, Suzhou embroidery is said to be painted with a needle, and the Wumen painting school represented by Tang Bohu has played an important role in promoting the development of Suzhou embroidery.
Gao Ming's paintings, for Shen Qingtang, are an addiction that cannot be stopped.
Shen Qingtang didn't like too noisy places, but as soon as Tang Yin's name came out, she made up her mind, and said softly with crooked eyebrows: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Gu Nanqiao jumped up happily, his black hair like a waterfall falling on his fair right-angled shoulders.
There is a strange innocence in the charming temptation.
"Let's go, I'll take you to get dressed up."
——
It wasn't until he stayed in the styling shop for two hours that Shen Qingtang really understood what the concept of "dressing up" in Gu Nanqiao's mouth was.
Her long, supple hair has been groomed and combed, with a few strands of bangs on the side of her face, and her hair ornaments are inlaid with crystal clear diamonds and fourteen crystals, and the lights shine in fairytale-like colors.
The stylist with the orchid finger also painted her light makeup, and her originally elegant appearance now has a feeling of floating fairy.
But when it came to the choice of dress, he began to struggle.
"This is a black swan, this is a white swan. Miss Shen, which evening dress do you think is more satisfying? ”
He pointed to two evening dresses of different colors and turned his head to ask Shen Qingtang's opinion.
The white one is completely the configuration of a little fairy, with a snow-white gauze skirt with a long tail, decorated with a white gauze shawl and solid-colored gemstones.
The black one is just knee-length, cut and extremely figure-showing, and the style is simple but elegant, like the dark queen who lived alone in an ancient castle in the last century.
When Gu Nanqiao heard the movement here, he lifted the royal blue fishtail dress and ran over excitedly, pointed to the white one and said, "Try this one, it will definitely suit you." ”
Little jasmine, of course, it's better to be pure white.
Gu Nanqiao just received news from Fu Sinian, saying that Jiang Qingyan would also attend this auction.
She couldn't help but think a little carefully, wanting to see Jiang Qingyan's shocked expression after discovering Shen Qingtang.
The white dress looks good, but it must be conspicuous in a place like that.
It's still not as good as black, and it can hide the figure perfectly.
Shen Qingtang shook his head and rejected her softly: "I prefer black." ”
But the moment he stepped out of the lengthened Lincoln car, Shen Qingtang regretted it, and everywhere he saw was the beauty of the white dress, and the black in the shadow of the clothes and temples was particularly eye-catching.
The black high heels, which were not very comfortable to wear, were even more ill-fitting.
She began to resent the sacrifice, but in order to match the black dress, it was a must-have.
She asked in a whisper, "Is this the uniform dress of the auction?" ”
Gu Nanqiao was also dumbfounded, and said in a low voice: "I went abroad a long time ago, and I haven't been in these celebrity circles. I'll ask Fu Sinian later. ”
Under the guidance of the waiter in black dress, the two took the VIP elevator to the fourth floor and entered the reserved private room.
As soon as the door was opened, a faint mint cold air wafted in front of you, and a stack of jade-like cool mint cakes were placed on the table in the box, with yellowish fan cold noodles and chilled lily mung bean soup, which was very homely.
The elegant-looking Fu Sinian had a tall nose with gold-wire glasses, and greeted his newlywed wife with a gentle smile: "Nan Qiao, I packed your favorite dish in Rongfeng Garden." You haven't had dinner yet, have you? ”
Gu Nanqiao sat down unceremoniously, pulled away the disposable chopsticks, but complained in his mouth: "People have said that I am a model, and I can't eat so many carbs at night." You always tempt me! ”
Fu Sinian stared at her intently, taking one bite after another, before he was relieved.
As soon as he relaxed, he saw Shen Qingtang sitting obediently next to Gu Nanqiao.
Fu Sinian: "......"
The world of the two was simply and rudely interrupted, Fu Sinian took a deep breath and did a good job of psychological construction.
"This is ......"
The girl half-bowed her head, revealing her fair and slender neck, and half of her face was in shadow.
The black dress has the charm of Western medieval Gothic clothing, but her temperament is pure and clean.
The contradictions of the two styles are intertwined and fused, colliding with a treacherous and mysterious beauty, dark and pure, like a novice little witch in the dark forest.
"She's what you've been talking to me about, Jiang Qingyan's wife."
Gu Nanqiao said without raising his head: "At the same time, it is my newly met little sister." ”
Fu Sinian fell into deep thought, the thin little girl in front of him didn't look like a scheming person anyway.
But a man as noble and self-contained as Jiang Qingyan can fall under her pomegranate skirt......
He still had to remind Nan Qiao to be more careful, not to be sold one day, and to count the money for her.
"Fu Sinian," Gu Nanqiao pulled the tissue and wiped his mouth elegantly, "Why are there so many female ghosts in white today, is there any special event here?" ”
The event was not ......
Fu Sinian, who was abruptly interrupted from his contemplation, still had a blank look in his eyes, and said casually: "They are all here for Jiang Qingyan, and it is said that he likes white recently." ”
The corners of Gu Nanqiao's mouth twitched, and he said extremely speechlessly: "Then if he likes colorful black or black purple in the future, the scene here will definitely be more exciting, like a demon cave." ”
As soon as she finished complaining, she immediately chuckled in her heart and turned her head to look at Shen Qingtang's face.
Anyone who knows that her husband is worried about so many women will not feel too good.
What's more, it's Shen Qingtang.
Even though they had just met each other, Gu Nanqiao was still keenly aware of her true nature.
This gentle girl with a carefree appearance is an extremely insecure person in her bones.
Gu Nanqiao just wanted to comfort her a few words, but she lowered her eyes in a daze, and looked straight at the entrance of the hall on the first floor.
The gaze condensed into substance, almost penetrating the special glass of the box, is clearly amorous and affectionate.
Surrounded by a large number of black-clothed bodyguards behind him, the man was like a star holding the moon.
The outside of the black dress is decorated with a silver chain, the waist is tied with a retro strap, and the ruby at the end seems to be dripping tears, gorgeous and cold.
This clothes, which are not easy for ordinary people to control, are worn on his body, like an emperor in the dark night.
He walked over without squinting, and he didn't even share the afterglow with the people around him.
And in such a tense atmosphere, those daughters in various white dresses are still ambitious and eager to try.
