Dangerous Aesthetics

"Ok?"

"I suddenly thought of Van Gogh's "Night Sky". How about you?"

"You." Olivan's voice was too short for David to react to what he said.

At this time, a gentle waltz sounded in the cabin, causing David to turn his head away.

The cabin of this ship is not big, only more than [-] square meters.

There is a dining table in the center, naturally there is red wine and exquisite food.But David was a little full from the dinner.

Oliwen walked to the cabin, "Do you want to dance with me?"

"Huh?" David was taken aback.

"You have such a thin skin. If you were really asked to dance at some banquet, you would run away faster than a rabbit." Olivan turned his head, and as the moonlight streamed down, David saw a faint smile.

"I...I can't dance a woman's dance."

"Yeah, you are not only thin-skinned, but also super good-looking, caring about things that don't matter." Olivan snorted lightly, without any hint of sarcasm, but rather pampering, "I dance like a woman, anyway On the bed you are also below."

"What did you say—" David rushed over angrily, but Olivan took his hand and led him to take the first step of the waltz.

David was going to have an attack, but maybe it was the first time Olivan showed him a seductive expression, which made him swallow in a daze, and his body slid out uncontrollably.

The music in his ears blended with the sound of the Thames, and Olivan was still graceful even when he danced like a woman, but David, who was obviously the lead dancer, felt that he was taken away by the other party.

"Do you know that I actually don't like waltzes?" Olivan asked, his cool voice was set off by the mellow dance music with a different charm.

"You didn't dance in front of me, how would I know?" Although David said angrily, the smile on his face revealed his slightly sweet mood at the moment.He suddenly remembered that at the prom, Ruby walked towards him slowly. It was the first time they held each other since they knew each other for three years...then nine years of separation.

"Waltz is used to exchanging dance partners. The person you hold in your hand is always changing. Even you don't know if the person you hold in your hand is the original person when the song is over." Olivier leaned towards Dai Wei, the music is still going on, but David feels that their rotation is out of tune.

"So I'm only willing to dance with you where there is no one else." Olivan's lips covered David's neck, "This way, you are in my hands from beginning to end."

The illusion is general, the music seems to be getting faster and faster, but the rotation between him and Oliwen is getting slower and slower.

Finally, he was hugged by the other party.

Olivan supported David's two legs, fixed them around his waist, raised his head and kissed David, and led him to the innermost small bedroom.

The curtains were pulled by the evening wind, and starlight streamed down the room.

There are only the two of them left in the world, and they can feel each other to their heart's content.

David was distracted, and the result was that Olivan... did it again and again.

When David opened his eyes in Olivier's arms in the early morning, he could hear the siren of boats sailing on the river. The building, which originally looked mysterious and elegant in the night, was covered with bright tulle.

David wanted to lie down on the window to look, but the guy who kept his eyes closed hugged him back.

"...Why do I feel like I've been kidnapped by you now?" David frowned, thinking.

Olivan still had his eyes closed, but there was a smug smile on his lips.

In the afternoon, Neo came to London from New York, and he will play the role of David's friend who bought the real "Years".

Two days later, in a private castle in London, there will be a golden wedding anniversary dinner, and David is also invited.

"It's a pity, great painter, you still can't go with me to this dinner party!" David said with a bow tie, "I really don't understand why you don't let the media know that you are coming to London? They will all be vying to invite you to any high-class dinner party."

At this time, Neo walked into their room fully dressed, and said with a smile, "Of course it's because this is the territory of the Walren family. He doesn't want the family to know that he has returned to the base camp."

As soon as his family was mentioned, the imperceptible smile on Oliwen's face disappeared. He just stretched out his hand and pulled David to his side, "I can't tie a double Windsor knot, and I can't even tie a bow tie well." ?"

"Is there? I think I played very well!" David felt a little wronged. Of course, he couldn't beat Olivan's ideal state in anything he did!

"Okay, okay!" Neo clapped his hands, "It's time for us to act!"

David's female partner tonight is still Lena. Although she doesn't like men, she is full of praise for David's "pretend" demeanor in public.

Neo said with a bit of a smile: "Lena, in fact, a man's demeanor is all fake. But David is a gentleman in his bones."

Lena thought for a while, nodded and said: "Think about it carefully, it seems to be like this."

When they came to the private castle, David was secretly surprised.Although this castle is not comparable to Buckingham Palace, it is already quite rich and luxurious.

Every painting in the corridor shows the taste of the owner, and the chandelier above the head should be real crystal in terms of the refraction of the halo.

The owner of this castle, the Duke and Duchess of Caffery not only inherited the titles passed down from generation to generation, but they can still enjoy life in such a tight financial situation of the royal family, thanks to the coffee beans planted by the Caffery family in Brazil and South Africa. A small diamond mine.

Those present were all the upper class in England, even most of them were people with titles, and there were fewer simple wealthy businessmen.David accepted the invitation entirely because he won the confidence of the princess at the red wine dinner that day, and the other party wanted to take this opportunity to see this handsome man who made her fall in love at first sight again.

When the Cafferies first saw David amble into the dinner, it was like seeing a diamond fall into the night.Their daughter warmly introduced David, who, though also a businessman, had won over the Carfferys with his demeanor.

After turning around, David caught a glimpse of Victor.This guy is still very well-connected in the upper class of England. After all, his indistinguishable works of art just happen to be sold to those arty British aristocrats.

"Ah, Mr. Merlin, it's really an honor to see you again." David walked over leisurely, and clinked glasses with the other party. The smile between his brows and eyes showed a British gentleman with a bit of French unrestrainedness. When David saw a few girls staring at him not far away, he nodded politely at each other, and the faces of the girls blushed quickly.

David blinked, he knew that he was a "teacher killer", but when he nodded, those young girls would show that expression?

"Yeah, Mr. Hovland." Victor talked about a lot of topics. Although David felt that he was bored, he still pretended to be interested and nodded. Finally, he went around and got to the topic David wanted. "By the way, have you mentioned me to that friend of yours?"

David froze for a moment, and then looked annoyed, "Oh! My memory! I mentioned you to Neo Langdon, and he said he wanted to meet you. He said that today he and several other appraisers Playing bridge at the Montgomery Hotel, send me word that if you're interested, join us..."

"Really? Well, it's a pity that it's the Duke and Duchess' wedding anniversary dinner, and I can't just leave..." Victor pretended that he didn't really care about seeing the friend David mentioned.

"That's right." When David glanced into his eyes, he already knew how eager Victor was to see Neo, "He has another business meeting tomorrow, and he's going to Barcelona the morning after tomorrow... "

Sure enough, Victor's face changed slightly: "In this case, I think I'd better resign with the Duchess. After all, I stay in London, and I can often see the two of them, but if I don't go to the Montgomery Hotel tonight , I'm afraid I won't have the chance to recognize Mr. Langdon..."

"Yeah, I think the Duke and Duchess should be considerate." David nodded, and deliberately distanced himself from Victor, "Mr. Merlin, I'll go over there first, it seems that someone wants to talk to me .”

"Wait...Mr. Hovland..." Victor stretched out his hand to grab him, but this action was not in line with etiquette, "You haven't told me the room number yet..."

David deliberately pretended not to hear, and walked towards the two guests who wanted to chat with him.

Seeing that David had been distracted by other people, Victor could only turn around and rush to the restaurant, hoping to see Neo before the game ended.

It's just that David didn't know that in this castle, there were sights that he didn't notice.

In a room facing the banquet hall, an old man smoked a cigar and smiled at the young man beside him: "Anthony, only you will always come up with some strange ideas, such as running to the Duke's castle Come to discuss business."

"I can't help it. The dinner at the Duke's house is really delicious." The blond young man smiled and held the wine glass to his lips.
