Lauren said with some concern, "But what if the Associate Archbishop wins over the Grand Knight, gets him to follow her lead, and then uses that to blackmail us?"
Lucas smiled and said, "The Vice-Bishop merely hopes that we improve the treatment of Chinese people. It has no core conflict with us. On the contrary, she is one of the strongest forces of our Chosen Church. In the final analysis, the Vice-Bishop is indeed a Chinese woman, which is why the Bishop has always kept her there."
Bishop Adam slowly sat back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
After a moment, he gave a confident smile and said, "Lucas is right. Although Veranica is disobedient, she is still one of us. If the Grand Knight is with her, it will be more beneficial to our Chosen Church."
Lauren lowered her voice, "But Your Excellency, what if they join forces..."
“Don’t worry.” Adam waved his hand, interrupting Lauren.
He then calmly took a sip of his tea and said nonchalantly, "All the power and the army of the Chosen Ones are in our hands. As long as they don't cross the line, let them be."
With a wicked grin, Adam continued, "Let them immerse themselves in the sweetness of love; that makes them easier to control."
"Besides, our High Knight isn't interested in the lives of others. Perhaps even if Veranica were with him, she wouldn't be interested in managing anything else..."
Everyone nodded, their emotions gradually calming down from the shock they had just experienced.
As the bishop said, as long as the core power remains unshaken, Veranica's relationship with Bai Wu could actually become an opportunity to completely turn Bai Wu into one of their own.
Adam stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at everything in the Chosen City, his smile deepening.
He said slowly, "Send word to prepare a generous gift to congratulate our archdeacon and grand knight on finding true love..."
......
As the giant Ferris wheel in the amusement park slowly rose to its highest point, Veronica gazed at the Chosen City below and murmured, "So beautiful..."
Jiang Wu pulled Veranika into his arms, sat her on his lap, and said with a smile, "Not as beautiful as you."
With no one else around, Veranika became much bolder.
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Wu's neck, carefully examining his sharply defined features, and said softly, "Shall I call you Brother Bai?"
Jiang Wu put his arm around Veranika's waist, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Just call me Brother Wu. Brother Bai sounds like Pigeon."
Veranica chuckled. "That's really true."
The next second, Veronica smiled radiantly, her eyes filled with sweetness, and called out several times in a sweet voice, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, Brother Wu, Brother Wu."
Then, she let out a burst of cheerful laughter.
When Jiang Wu first saw Vera Nica's smile, which resembled that of a little girl in love, he was somewhat dazed.
Hearing her playfully call him "Brother Wu," Jiang Wu was a little stunned again.
Didn't I just confess my feelings not long ago?
Haven't the two of them been very intimate yet?
How could she have changed so much?
Could it be...?
Is Veronica actually a hopeless romantic?
The next second, recalling the evil deeds of the Chosen Ones, the slight guilt that had just risen in Jiang Wu's eyes vanished without a trace.
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Then what should I call you? Nika, or... wife?"
Veronica blushed slightly. She hugged Jiang Wu's neck tightly, rested her chin on his shoulder, and whispered, "I'm glad you like it~"
Then, she continued in a low voice, "Brother Wu, I'm 22 years old this year, and I'll be 23 on March 2nd. How old are you?"
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "I'm 30, born on September 10th."
Veronica sat up straight, looked at Jiang Wu with bright, sparkling eyes, and said with delight, "September 10th, Virgo! Everyone says Virgo is the closest sign to God, no wonder you seem so amazing! I've always liked Virgos!"
Jiang Wu doesn't know much about astrology or anything like that, nor is he particularly interested in it.
However, since Veranika liked it so much, he still smiled and asked, "Virgos are closest to God? Is there such a saying?"
Veronica nodded repeatedly, "Yes, because Virgos are generally perfectionists. Also, there's an anime called Saint Seiya, and the Virgo in it is very strong!"
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "So, are Virgo and your Pisces compatible?"
"Astrologically speaking, Virgo and Pisces are opposite signs with great differences, but in my opinion, they complement each other..."
Veronica chattered away to Jiang Wu like a little girl in love.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Wu was full of sweetness and happiness.
The smile on her lips never stopped.
The coldness in her eyes when Jiang Wu first saw her was a complete reversal of the first time.
Time passed little by little.
The setting sun slowly dyed the horizon orange-red.
Veronica nestled in Jiang Wu's arms as the two sat together at the top of the drop tower, gazing at the sunset on the horizon.
After a long pause, Veronica exclaimed, "How beautiful and romantic!"
Jiang Wu also gazed at the setting sun, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
When they returned to the manor gate, Veronica looked at Jiang Wu with some reluctance and said, "Brother Wu, why don't you eat with me? I have a lot of delicious food."
Jiang Wu leaned close to Veranika's ear and whispered, "If we eat at your place, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist, and then it won't just be dinner anymore."
