The driver saw it by accident and was stunned. Who brings so much money when traveling?
Wen Qi didn't care, she put the change into her coin purse, smiled and thanked him before leaving. She was so powerful that she didn't care about the danger of showing off her wealth in a foreign country.
After she got off the car, the driver thought for a few seconds and made a phone call.
Wen Qi originally planned to walk around the church first, but when he turned his eyes and saw the pigeons in the square, he was attracted there. The flocks of white pigeons that were not afraid of people were very healing to look at.
Wen Qi bought a bag of food and tried to feed the pigeons. But it was strange that the pigeons ate the food she scattered but not the food she put in her hands. However, this group of pigeons clearly ate the food in other people's hands!
It's a bit discriminatory.
Wen Qi was very depressed, but she probably knew the reason. She often came into contact with ghosts and monsters, so it was inevitable that she would be contaminated with some of their aura, and the small animals would be instinctively afraid of her.
Sighing, Wen Qi piled the remaining pigeon food together, stepped back a few steps, took a few photos, and sent them to Feng Ce.
Since I can’t feed the pigeons, I can only go to the church for a walk.
After praying with the pastors and learning about the history of the church, Wen Qi came out.
Buy a cup of coffee, sit on a bench by the river, quietly look at the river and feel the breeze, it is also very comfortable.
Sometimes people have to learn to enjoy being alone. Wen Qi closed his eyes and sighed in his heart, isolating himself from the world and doing some reflection and planning, which is not bad.
“Could I have a moment?”
Wen Qi opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man with a beard. "Sure, what can I do for you?"
The uncle picked up a portrait and showed it to Wen Qi. It was a sketch, and it showed Wen Qi sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, enjoying the breeze.
Wen Qi was very surprised and delighted. After thanking him, he bought the sketch.
The uncle was also very happy and recommended several local places to visit to Wen Qi, then returned to his stall to continue painting.
Wen Qi took a photo of the sketch and sent it to Feng Ce. After checking the time, he took a taxi to the restaurant.
The food in Country D is very rich and famous for its rich seasonings. The taste is heavy and the spices are particularly strong. Wen Qi was not used to it, so he tried every dish reluctantly and then went out to find a hamburger restaurant.
Wen Qi ate while sending messages to Feng Ce to complain.
Feng Ce actually responded quickly, "Every country has different tastes. It's normal to not be used to the food. You can try other restaurants. I remember there is a Chinatown there."
Wen Qi sat up a little straighter, "Are you done? Have you eaten?"
Feng Ce: "Not yet. Five minutes of halftime break. We'll be going in soon."
"The sketch is beautiful. It looks a lot like you."
"If you like animals, we can raise one at home. If we raise one from a young age, it shouldn't be afraid of you. Or we can raise one that's a little braver."
Wen Qi listened to these two short sentences several times, and the smile between his eyebrows became more and more intense.
Who could understand this? She loved this kind of communication where everything had an impact and every word had an echo! After talking for a while, Feng Ce went back to work.
Wen Qi filled his stomach, took a taxi to the castle, and attended a masquerade ball.
Because she had eaten lunch twice, it was already a little late when she arrived. As soon as she entered, she was pulled to change clothes and choose a mask.
In order to save time, Wen Qi didn't even put on makeup. Fortunately, her appearance was very good. She put on a half-face mask, revealing her rosy lips and beautiful jaw, and put on a gorgeous European retro long skirt. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"You are so beautiful!" The costume designer exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "You are like Snow White!"
Wen Qi felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you."
The ball was held at three o'clock in the afternoon. Men and women all wore formal suits and masks and gathered in the hall on the first floor of the castle.
After Wen Qi entered, he held a glass of champagne in his hand and looked at the decoration of the castle. Unlike the previously abandoned castle, this castle was inhabited all year round, and even the ball was hosted by the owner of the castle.
The dance lasted less than half an hour when the music suddenly stopped and a group of people wearing masks walked down from the second floor of the castle.
The owner of the castle said enthusiastically in awkward Chinese: "Welcome my friend who has come from afar. I hope my friend can have fun! If anyone can gain my friend's favor, she can take away anything in my castle! As long as you like!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
The owner of the castle laughed, but the tall man next to him frowned slightly, "I'm already married."
The owner of the castle didn't care. "She's not here! Just for fun, relax. Even if we get caught, I'm sure she'll understand."
A trace of displeasure flashed in the man's eyes, and he glanced at the men and women downstairs who were staring at him, frowning even deeper. Just as he was about to turn back, he found a familiar figure in the crowd.
The man's eyes paused, then he walked away.
The owner of the castle thought he had figured it out, and laughed, "Enjoy your afternoon!" Then he turned to the person next to him and said, "You should persuade him to move to Country D. With his appearance, it would be a waste for him to have only one wife."
The man walked downstairs and walked towards his target without looking away. "Would you please dance with me?"
Wen Qi stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly laughed and pretended to be distressed and said, "But someone invited me before you."
The man then turned his head to look at the white man next to him, and said in a calm voice with a hint of dominance, "You shouldn't mind, do you?"
The white man shrugged and took a step back. It was obvious that this man was the guest of the castle owner and he could not afford to offend him. It was a pity that this porcelain doll-like oriental beauty was really to his taste.
The man looked at Wen Qi again, "Is there any problem now?" He bent down slightly and stretched out his hand.
Wen Qi smiled so much that her eyes curved up, and she raised her hand and placed it on the man's hand.
The next second, the music on the scene changed to gorgeous dance music. Everyone quickly found their dance partners and danced gracefully.
"Why are you here?" The man put his arm around Wen Qi's waist and lowered his head slightly, saying, "I thought I would have to wait until night to see you."
"I was just about to ask you something." Wen Qi pouted and said, "Didn't you say you were busy? Busy with the masquerade?"
The man, Feng Ce, sighed and said, "I have been here since I left in the morning. The owner of the castle is the head of H&Y. He was indeed discussing business before. I only found out about it after the ball was held. I had no choice but to agree to come and take a look."
Wen Qi was still not satisfied. "I remember the law here states that a man can marry several wives. From what he said, it seems like he wants to find one for you too?"
Feng Ce's expression was stern, "No, if I hadn't seen you, I would have gone up now."
Wen Qi snorted and suppressed the corners of his lips that were raised, "Concentrate on dancing and don't talk to me."
After the song was over, the owner of the castle came over with a woman. "My friend! I didn't expect you to find someone you like so quickly. There are so many beauties here. Are you sure you don't want to take a closer look?"
Feng Ce pursed his lips and said, "Our country is a monogamous country. It is immoral to cheat on your wife. If I am really the one who betrayed my wife, would you still be willing to cooperate with me?"
If he can betray even the people closest to him, what else can't he do?
The owner of the castle was silent for two seconds, then shrugged and said, "Okay, you're right. But now you..." He glanced at Feng Ce and Wen Qi's clasped hands.
Feng Ce then smiled and introduced: "This is my wife, Wen Qi. This is Carson Gapar."
Wen Qi smiled politely, "Mr. Jiapal, nice to meet you, hello."
Carson showed a shocked expression and exclaimed: "Oh my God, did you guys make an appointment?"
Wen Qi shook his head, "No, I'm also surprised to see him here."
Carson was even more shocked. "You two are so destined to be together! How do you say that? Um... destined to be together, a match made in heaven!"
Wen Qi's smile became more genuine.
Feng Ce also laughed, "Thank you." (End of this chapter)
