Chapter 34: Vivian's Worries
As soon as Gao Tian returned to the Red Chamber, Old Kam came to report excitedly and said, "Mr. Gao Tian, Mr. Gao Tian, this is such a great thing!"
Gao Tian was still savoring the appearance of the beautiful girl just now, and asked listlessly: "What's the good thing?"
Old Kam said: "Mr. Gao Tian, do you remember the last time we bought your big Dongzhu at the auction?"
Gao Tian thought about it and had a vague impression. That day, he and Lao Kam went to the auction to auction his top-quality or diamond ring. Because he was infected by the warm atmosphere at the auction, Gao Tian decided to take out a few more treasures to auction, one of which was a big East Pearl the size of an egg. Ordinary pearls were only the size of peanuts. If the diameter reached more than three centimeters, it would be a rare treasure. The pearl that Gao Tian took out was actually four or five centimeters in diameter, and it was round and flawless.
It immediately caused a sensation and the auction price rose sharply. When the auction price reached 5,700 gold coins, a man in his sixties who was about sixty in the front row of the venue suddenly stood up and the price was 10,000 gold coins! This price was really outrageous. Although the pearls were beautiful, they had no magical uses and could not be made into magic equipment. Therefore, they could only be auctioned as ordinary jewelry. The price of this person was far higher than that of the best fire diamond ring. It was either that the money was too much and the brain was burned out, or that there was another picture.
Gao Tian nodded and said, "Of course I remember that he is a rich master."
Old Cam said excitedly: "Do you know who he is? He is the Grand Duke of Longbottom in this city! Grand Duke Longbottom is the father-in-law of His Majesty the King of the present day, the former kingdom general, a senior warrior who can emit the thirteen-polar fighting spirit. He is well-known throughout the Ted Kingdom and is one of the top figures. The eldest son of Grand Duke Longbottom, Marquis Nandez, is the commander of the city defense force in the Detet City, and the most famous Knights of the Detet Kingdom was led by him. The second daughter married His Majesty the King of the present day, and the little prince born was deeply favored by His Majesty the King of the King, and he is very likely to become the next king. Longbottom's younger brother is a senior magician and an advisor to the Campas Magic Academy..."
Old Kam was talking nonstop, telling Gao Tian a few of his knowledge about the glory of the Longbottom family. Gao Tian was impatient and waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a duke? What does it have to do with me? Did he regret buying the big Dongzhu and want to return the goods? If so, return it to him, but he must bear the handling fees and taxes of the auction."
"Mr. Gao Tian, you are wrong. What is the status of the noble Grand Duke of Longbottom? How could he regret it for a mere 10,000 gold coins? Not only did he not ask for a return, he gave two invitations to invite you and me to the dance tonight. Oh, Campas! What kind of scene would it be for the family dance of Longbottom? How many princes and nobles will attend? Can you meet His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen? My previous title was too low and I didn't have the opportunity to participate in such a high-standard grand event. Today's opportunity finally comes, haha, I'm so looking forward to it!"
Old Cam was so excited that he was spinning around in the same place, his eyes emitted a greedy light, as if he was invited by the Grand Duke Longbottom, which was a great honor for him.
Gao Tian didn't get into dance very well. He used to see the so-called aristocratic dances in the West in movies, and he felt very dissatisfied with them. Although those dances were beautiful, they were too conservative and uncomfortable. Gao Tian would rather go crazy in Disgo for three hours than stay in that solemn occasion for three minutes. Gao Tian originally planned to refuse the invitation from the Grand Duke of Longbottom, but after looking at Old Cam's expectant eyes, he could not help but agree. Gao Tian felt that if he didn't attend this dance, Old Cam, who was determined to meet the upper class, would definitely go crazy.
Time was tight, Gao Tian and the others had dinner in a hurry. Old Kam, who couldn't wait, urged Vivian to change his clothes to Gao Tian, and he also shouted that his wife Diana would take out his best evening dress.
Vivian came to Gao Tian's room with a black evening dress and silently changed Gao Tian, with gentle movements and no words.
Gao Tian felt something strange about Vivian, and reached out to twist his face and asked, "Vivian, what's wrong with you? You seem unhappy. Do you have any worries?"
While buttoning Gao Tian, Vivian whispered: "Nothing."
Vivian dressed Gao Tian, sighed softly, and said to himself, "Why am I just a servant?"
Gao Tian hugged Vivian in his arms and said softly: "No one thinks you are a servant, neither am I. I am your friend, the most important man in your life; you are my baby, the closest woman I have come here."
Vivian hugged Gao Tian tightly, his body trembled a little, and said, "I heard that the more advanced the dance party, the more beautiful women will appear. At the family dance of the Grand Duke, there will definitely be many noble princesses and beautiful noble ladies."
Gao Tian was stunned and immediately understood what Vivian meant. The girl was worried that Gao Tian would be snatched away by other girls. Vivian was originally a daughter of a noble family. Because of the decline of the family, she had to be Gao Tian's maid. This was a challenge for Vivian, who had a strong sense of self-esteem. Because of a vulgarity passed down among the nobles, Wei Weian had to become Gao Tian's concubine. For more than a month, Wei Weian had developed a strong dependence on Gao Tian, but was bound to be a servant's identity.
An never had hoped to be Gao Tian’s true wife. Therefore, Wei Wei’an’s heart was painful. She was both inferior to her servant and hoped to be able to get Gao Tian’s love forever. Gao Tian, the careless Gao Tian really ignored this. Even though Vivian knew that she could not become Gao Tian’s official wife, due to her nature, she instinctively refused to share her beloved man with another woman. Therefore, when she heard that Gao Tian was going to attend the family dance of the Grand Duke Longbottom, she became worried.
Gao Tian hugged Wei Wei'an tightly, kissed her forehead, and said, "Silly, what's there to worry about? If you are not at ease, go with me."
Wei Wei'an's eyes flashed with a light, but it quickly went out, and he said sadly: "There are only two invitations. My father will never give up this great opportunity. Without invitations, even the count will not be able to enter the dance scene. Go, I believe you."
Gao Tian was very moved by the words "I believe in you". If a girl says "I believe in you" to a man, it means that the girl has placed all her hopes on this man. Gao Tian was so excited that he picked up Wei Wei'an and walked towards the big bed in the room. Wei Wei'an struggled slightly, lowered his head obediently, curled up gently in Gao Tian's arms, and his breathing began to be rapid.
