Chapter 218: Can I ask you for a favor, fiance? (3)

A movie theater?

He had only been to them when he was still a child.

“Is my purpose here to keep you from being bored?”

Boss Household-Superman Huo’s eyes narrowed.

Something just wasn’t sitting right with him.

But then he looked over at the girl with her head lowered pitifully while biting down on her red lip.

Her long, black hair cascaded down behind her flawlessly like silk.

And her entire person, was soft, fragrant, and delicate…

Huo Sishen couldn’t bring himself to reject her.

She looked much better.

Than that so-called secretary of his.

That disgusted feeling from the daytime was gone all of a sudden.

[Ding! Fondness from Huo Sishen increased!]

Gu Shishi blinked.

Oh yeah!

She knew being proactive with the boss was the right move!

***

Ten minutes later, Siyi was stumped by the text that he had just received.

[Boss Huo: It’s time to acquire a few movie theaters now.]

[Boss Huo: Day after tomorrow at the latest. I want to inspect the theaters that we have acquired.]

Siyi: “? ! ! !”

***

After she had harvested a round of fondness, Gu Shishi returned to her peaceful everyday life as a cook and an art studio instructor.

In fact, she ran into Luo Zheng at the studio once again.

As he had to drop off and pick up Zhao Xian, he was over at the art studio and he couldn’t help but wanted to “challenge” Gu Shishi.

He wanted to regain his sense of presence.

Gu Shishi pursed her lips and said, “I’ll show you tonight after I get home.”

Luo Zheng did not figure out right away what she meant by that.

That very night, when he was lying in bed playing on his cellphone, he came across a painting by the “Ink Painting Guru” and she even @ him.

[Ink Painting Guru: This painting should be sufficient to offset your $5,000 tuition.]

Luo Zheng bounced straight up from the bed.

He almost fell of his bed in the middle of the night.

Tuition? What tuition?

Then he recalled what Gu Shishi had said to him in the day time.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He scrolled down and suddenly saw the painting by the guru…

His face burned all of a sudden!

A frog inside a well.

Most of the area on the paper was left blank with the exception of an old well, and a frog that was sitting inside of it.

The brushwork of the dried well was simple but sophisticated. The frog was not a human but one could see the arrogance that could only belong to a human in its eyes!

Luo Zheng got it right away.

“No. This is impossible!”

Gu Shishi, who told him to wait in the day time, was the Ink Painting Guru?

A master-level painter?

“Exactly how was is she?!”

He felt that his throat was being gripped.

He brushed off the thought in under a second.

Nevertheless…

“Young master, a friend of yours had something delivered to you.”

A maid knocked on his door.

As much as Luo Zheng was in a bad mood, he crawled out of bed.

He saw a mailing tube after he had opened the door.

Taking the tube from the maid, his heart dropped and he asked, “Who sent this?”

He never bought anything online.

The maid smiled and said, “Miss Chen had her chauffeur delivered this.”

“Chen Kexin?”

Luo Zheng lifted his brows.

He had a bad feeling.

As soon as he retreated back into his room, he ripped the package open.

He had only ripped open a corner when he saw the scroll inside. He felt a chill down his spine.

The painting…

A painting from Chen Kexin?

She was very close with the Ink Painting Guru.

Luo Zheng quickly unroll the scroll to look at the painting.

As soon as he saw all the blank spaces, he fell onto his chair, at loss.

The frog in the well.

That’s the painting that he just saw in the friends’ circle!

There was an extra caption on the painting.

[Narrow minded and ignorant.]

Bap. Bap. Bap. Luo Zheng’s face has swollen up from the faceslapping.

If the painting was a blatant mockery, then the caption was a strike to his head.

He was dumbfounded from just that one strike.

Pingting had told him that Gu Shishi was just a peasant girl, but she was actually a master in ink painting?

He had mocked her so many times in the past and felt that her skills were lacking. Now his face was burning and painful!

She had said that he was aiming too high and had he practice his brushstroke. So, all those were true?!

Luo Zheng was stunned for a very long time.

The arrogance and pride on his handsome face were crushed entirely.
