Title: Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life
Translator: Fringe Alpaca
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 .
