"Where…is this?" Leo's entire body trembled as he curled up on the Gondola. He was so shaken that he could not even speak clearly. Half of his golden hair was wet and stuck to his neck. His handsome face was ashen after he took off his mask. His blue-green eyes were staring at an extraordinary mansion by the shore. He looked at the exquisite and bold wall pillars and lintel on the mansion. It was like a gorgeous and graceful Baroque palace.
"This is my house."
After paying the gondola boatman, Julian pulled Leo ashore and opened the bronze door carved with angels and demons without delay. He led Leo into the entrance covered with a long fur carpet and directly into the magnificent hall. The antiques and famous paintings placed in every corner were even more difficult to estimate. Looking up, the exquisitely carved ceiling was painted with the Virgin Mary and the Holy Infant.
This mansion was extraordinarily beautiful, almost showing the extravagance of the 18th century royal family. Leo, who was following behind, couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He even forgot the cold that almost made him go into shock.
"What are you looking at? He was about to freeze to death, yet he was still standing there!”
Julian couldn't move him. He looked back and saw that he was like a fool, as if he had forgotten that he had fallen into San Marco's Bay. If it weren't for the boatmen on the shore, they would have been buried at the bottom of the canal or frozen to death. He was still in the mood to admire the house! He had probably forgotten that people had frozen to death in the winter in Venice.
"This is your house?" Leo asked softly like a fool. "These paintings seem to be authentic."
Although he was a talented fashion designer who had made a name for himself very early on, it was not difficult for him to buy a mansion in Venice. However, the decorations, antiques, and famous paintings inside... These things could not be bought with money or fame. Why would he have such things?
"Your eyes are quite sharp." Julian sighed and pulled him up the spiral staircase to the second floor. "Collecting these things is my father's hobby. I didn't buy them, but he insisted on giving them to me, so I had no choice but to leave them in this house.”
"Is that so?" That's right! He heard that Julian had a good family background before he entered the fashion industry. Even if he didn't have to work, his family fortune wouldn't be spent in his lifetime.
"You should worry about yourself first!”Julian took him into the room on the right side of the stairs and rummaged through his clothes in the changing room. "Take off your wet clothes first."
" Oh…" He would have forgotten if he didn't say it. His body was really freezing.
"Dry your body first and put on your clothes. I'll turn on the air conditioner.”Julian took out a set of clothes from the dressing room and a large towel. Then he rushed out without looking back at him.
Leo glanced back at him and followed his instructions like an excellent computer. After he put on comfortable clothes, his cold body felt much more comfortable.
Sitting by the bed, he began to look around and immediately realized that this room did not match this mansion. He had walked too fast and was too shocked to see his surroundings clearly. But now that he looked carefully, he realized that the furnishings of this room were too simple. The things inside did not look like Italian furnishings, and this room…
He slowly got up and walked around to the window. He looked at the painting on the wall beside the window. It was a nude painting of a man.
He did not need to tell him that this painting was drawn by Julian. After all, he had also drawn this kind of painting for him. However, would he go through so much trouble to frame his painting and even hang it in his room? And he felt that the model in the painting was very familiar, as if he had seen it in the newspapers and magazines before... Right! He was a very famous oriental model. It was said that he was the most promoted model by Julian, but he seemed to have retired from the fashion industry three years ago.
Leo closed his eyes and walked back to the bed in a daze. He inadvertently glanced at a photo on the bedside table. He looked sideways at the photo. There were two people in it, one was Julian, and the other was the Asian man. In the photo, Julian smiled very gently. He had never seen that smile before.
Julian's smile was always cold, with a hint of provocation and even mockery. It was only when he used such an indifferent tone to say such hurtful words that he could not bear it anymore.
It was unusual. The relationship between Julian and that Asian man was definitely unusual! He was so sensitive that he could smell a trace of a strange aura, but he had no clues to rely on, but…
Leo looked back at the locker room, which was not closed, and slowly walked into it.
The changing room was filled with clothes and all kinds of accessories. Every set of clothes inside was made by Julian, so he could tell his style. However, he had never seen him publish this series of clothes before.
There was indeed something unusual between them! This was a very simple association that did not even require logic.
But if the two of them were really a couple, why didn't the Asian man accompany Julian and even let Julian go to Eden to have fun?
"Is it warmer now?"
Julian suddenly returned to his room. Leo turned around guiltily when he heard his panting.
"Much warmer." He stammered back, still not daring to look him in the eye, like a child who had done something wrong.
"That's good." After taking a deep breath, Julian closed the door.
Julian took off his heavy coat that was soaked in water and took off all his clothes in front of Leo. He walked to Leo's side as if he was in a deserted place and took out a towel from the locker room to wipe his slightly wet body.
"You made all the clothes inside, right?”Leo didn't dare to look at his perfect body directly, only testing him with words.
Julian was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Yes."
"But why hasn't it been published yet?”
Julian looked at him with narrowed eyes and felt that something was wrong. "You seem to know quite a bit about me.”It seemed that he was really his idol, although he did not know what he admired about him.
"Why not publish it?" He knew that it was stupid to ask such a question, and he also knew that he was like a jealous woman who had broken the earthen pot and asked the whole question. He knew that the current him was not like him at all, but he was powerless to change.
"No reason." Julian raised his eyebrows and walked to the bed. "Not every designer will publish all their works.”What he said was the truth, but that did not mean that it was his truth.
"That's because you designed these clothes for that Asian man, right?”Don't ask him why he could make such a bold guess, because this feeling was close to a woman's strong sixth sense. He could even feel that the owner of this room was most likely that Asian man, and he also realized how ugly he was in the mirror.
"So what?" Julian threw the big towel aside and went straight into the locker room to take out a set of clothes. He didn't like people guessing his feelings, and he didn't like him talking to him in this tone.
"In that case, why did you come to Eden?”Leo deliberately skipped the part that he was most unwilling to mention and directly confirmed their relationship. He even described Julian's behavior as if he was an unfaithful husband.
"What does it have to do with you?" Julian looked at him impatiently, his dark green eyes dim.
Damn it, they brought him into this house because it was close to the water. They were afraid that if they went back to Eiden, they would both catch pneumonias. However, he did not expect his senses to be so sharp that he could easily discover what he did not want others to discover.
Unfortunately, Leo was wrong. There was nothing between him and Bing Huo. If he had to be related to Bing Huo, he could only say that they were working partners.
"Of course it's my business, because I love you!”Leo suddenly shouted, and then he was stunned.
What did he just say? He had no idea what he was thinking. He just felt very angry. The fire in his chest burned arrogantly and crazily. It was so painful that he had to shout a little to release some pain. However, he did not expect that the words he blurted out were actually…
Julian looked at him coldly and turned a deaf ear to his confession. "You're thinking too much." This was his answer.
" You..." Julian's indifferent tone was like a reflection of glass, reflecting his love back. It turned into a sharp weapon that cut him black and blue, making him wish he was dead. "You bastard, what do you mean by that?”According to what he said, wasn't he denying him from the beginning to the end?
He did not believe him at all!
"I said you're thinking too much." He curled his charming lips into a soul-stirring and heartless smile. "Do not abuse your respect for me and naively think that idolization is love.”He twisted his passion cruelly.
When people were weak, they would always instinctively seek warmth to fill the void. However, no one could be sure if this relationship would last long, whether it would last forever, or if it was just a transfer of feelings, just a sustenance of feelings. No matter what, he didn't think that he needed a relationship that tortured him. He was the one involved, so he had the right to choose.
This was very natural. People would only think of themselves at the first moment. He had to make sure that he would not be hurt. He had to make sure that this relationship was really love. No one would be stupid enough to repeat the same mistake.
"Do you think I can't tell my feelings?”
She didn't expect him to be so hurtful. Leo rushed up to him, grabbed the collar of his sweater, and glared at him angrily. Even now, his heart was still beating passionately. It was beating painfully, so painfully that he was crying blood.
"I'm not you. I don't know, but because I'm not you, I don't need to know.”
Julian pulled his hand away, and his dark green eyes were like the deepest sea. The bottomless coldness slowly emitted a chilling light.
"Why are you so hurtful?" Damn it, what method should he use to make him believe it? "I can sleep with you. As long as you want me, I can…"
"What I want is a working partner who will fight side by side, not a bed partner who will accompany me every night.”
Julian said firmly, without a trace of warmth, as if it was a matter of course.
"Then I don't want to be your working partner. I'd rather be your bed partner!”Wasn't his words enough to convince him? He would rather give up all the opportunities as long as he was willing to believe in his heart. "But if you want, I can take care of both sides, just like you and that Asian man!”
Julian heard this and kept his cold and handsome face silent. He only looked at him with a pair of demonic eyes and suddenly pulled him to the bed.
"Tell me, what is the reason that makes you willing to open your legs to a man?”Julian pressed him down on the bed and curled his slightly thin lips into a mocking and cruel smile. "Is it because my existence triggered your desire for men, or because you planned to seduce me with your body from the beginning so that you could get a chance to enter the fashion industry? Perhaps this was the declaration you made to me back then; In order to plunder me, you didn't hesitate to sell your body?”
Leo's mistake was that he shouldn't have talked about the soldiers in this room, which made his wound bleed again.
Children had to be punished for their mistakes, or they would be spoiled.
"Damn it, I didn't think that way. I want you to take back those words!”Leo roared angrily, but he was also angry that he was suppressed by him and could not move. He didn't expect that he would even dig up the old scores from 800 years ago!
"Why should I? Since you want to tempt me, I naturally have to accept it, right?”Julian chuckled, and his cold voice made Leo tremble from the bottom of his heart. "Don't worry. Since you have a desire for men, I will definitely satisfy you.”
He suddenly pulled open his cotton shirt, pulled up his hands and tied them up. Then, he kissed his strong chest and quickly took off his pants.
" You..." Leo was annoyed and embarrassed as he watched him ignite sparks on his body.
Why was he still excited at this moment? Could it be that men were such cowardly animals that they didn't even have the slightest bit of self-control?
"Oh right, your kiss is too tender. Let me teach you what a kiss is.”
Julien looked at Leo's suddenly flushed face with a teasing smile and suddenly kissed his lips. His tongue cut into Leo's mouth as he was stunned. She stroked his teeth and grabbed the tip of his tongue. With a flame that could almost melt him, she wantonly seduced his young soul.
Leo whined as he panted, almost unable to withstand his teasing. His body could not resist the numbness as if he had been struck by lightning, but he could not help but curse him in his heart.
Damn it, he must be pretending to be asleep. Otherwise, how would he know? And he was so stupid that he didn't realize that he was pretending to be asleep!
"Is this what you want?"
"Don't…"
He was already prepared to give, but he had not gotten used to it. He still could not endure all of this. This was too sudden, and he still needed some time.
"Do you really not want it?" He laughed in a low and hoarse voice, his long fingers becoming more and more maniacal, ignoring his rejection.
"Stop!"
Leo shouted in panic, and the door opened automatically.
Julian suddenly turned around and saw the person he thought he would never see again in his life.
"Sorry, I thought this was still my room, so I took the key you gave me back then and came in.”Bing Huo opened the door and was surprised to see this scene. He took a step back and blocked his wife's line of sight. "But really, Julien, your habits are getting worse, I didn't expect you to have such a hobby.”
"Soldier's Den!"
"Sorry to disturb you, I'll come back later.”Bing Hui hurriedly tried to close the door.
"Wait, why are you here?" Leo tidied his cotton shirt and got out of bed.
Rion, who was still lying on the bed, was shocked when the man in the painting walked into the room. However, when he saw Julian's panic, he could not help but laugh, a sad and desolate laugh.
"Alyssa called me.”Bing Hui looked at him with a smile. "She told me that you were getting married, but I saw this scene.”He didn't have to worry about Julian thinking about him all the time.
"Since it was Alyssa who called you, you must know about the agreement between us.”Julian coughed awkwardly to hide his embarrassment.
"Of course, Alyssa asked me to come over because she wanted me to give you a hand, hoping that Miller would react. Otherwise, if Miller still hadn't taken any further action, she was afraid that this marriage would become a reality.”Bing Hui shrugged, looking like he was in a difficult position. "I'm here because of Eliza. Otherwise, I'd still be in my honeymoon period!”
"It's already been two months, and you're still on your honeymoon?”Julian laughed mockingly. "It seems that you and your wife are cooperating quite well.”He deliberately spoke faster, with one hand on Bing Hua's shoulder. Looking at Su Wu's jealous expression behind Bing Hua, he smiled even more proudly. Su Wu was not familiar with Italian. As long as he spoke faster, she would not understand him at all. Coupled with a little body movement, he would definitely anger her to death.
"Of course." Bing Hui pulled his hand down quietly. "Don't provoke her. I don't want to waste time explaining. After all, I'm here to help you.”
"Are you here to help me?"
"Both. Anyway, I'll put this debt on you and Eliza. One day, I'll get it back. The most important thing now is to draw up a plan. Alyssa said that she will drag Miller here in two days at the latest.”
"Give me some time to think it over.”Julian smiled calmly.
"By the way, aren't you going to introduce me to the person behind you?”Bing Hua raised his eyebrows and smiled ambiguously.
"He…he's the main show of this press conference. He's the model I just found for this show.”Julian pondered for a moment and turned slightly. "He's Leo. Leo, he's a soldier."
Bing Hua nodded politely at Leo, but Leo only looked at him coldly.
"Something seems to have happened.”Bing Hui said with a profound meaning.
"What could happen?" Julian did not intend to admit it.
"What do you think?"
"I don't understand what you mean."
"At least I can rest assured."
"You're thinking too much."
"Is that so?"
Su Wu, who had been standing behind Bing Huo, suddenly pulled Bing Huo aside, as if she was protecting her husband. "Julian, stay away from the soldiers. Don't think that I can't understand you just because you speak fast.”
"Then tell me, what did I say?”Julian was going against her and wanted to tease her.
" You…" She stuttered for a long time, feeling a little angry. "I don't care. Anyway, you better stay away from him, or I'll castrate you!”
"Bing Xue, you married a good wife, but she actually wanted to castrate your master.”He felt helpless.
"I have no choice. Between my teacher and my wife, I still choose my wife. If she really wants to kill you, I'll ask her to be gentler so that you won't feel pain.”Bing Hui said meaningfully.
Julian smiled and did not speak again. He only felt a burning gaze behind him, so hot that he could not ignore it.#
