Chapter 37 White Moonlight's Substitute (37)

He waited for Jiang Lai's surprised and pleasant eyes to look at him, but after waiting and waiting, he only got a helpless smile.

"Pfft..."

She smiled.

Did she laugh?
It's not that kind of surprise smile, but...helpless and speechless?

Xiao Jun never expected that Jiang Lai would have such a reaction, he continued to ask calmly while holding the painting.

"What's the matter? Don't you like the painting?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just think it's funny that you bought it and gave it to me."

"funny?"

The man frowned, feeling a little displeased.

In her eyes, her own flattery is a funny thing?

Besides, this painting is really good, he, a layman, can feel the charm in it, can't Jiang Lai feel it?

Jiang Lai covered his mouth and shook his head.

"Sorry, I find it funny because I drew this picture."

"..."

Xiao Juan was full of doubts, as if he didn't understand what Jiang Lai meant.

"You, did you draw it?"

"Yeah, did you see the following words? Jiang, Jiang from Jiang, is my pseudonym in college. This painting was drawn when I was a sophomore. I put it on the overpass because I was short of money. It was sold, but was bought by a foreigner. I didn’t expect that after so many years, I could still see it, and then...you bought it and gave it to me. Tell me, how can there be such a coincidence in this world? ?”

Xiao Juan stared at the line of letters in the corner of the picture frame. Looking carefully, it was indeed Jiang's pinyin.

Was this painting really drawn by Jiang Lai?
Looking at the woman in front of her again, she was still smiling. When she smiled, her eyes were bright, her brows were curved like a moon, and her bright and delicate features shone like the golden light of the setting sun. Look away.

Jiang Lai smiled generously and heartily, which did not offend Xiao Juan in the slightest, and even somehow felt that she was delicate and charming at the moment.

The man's ears were red, he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally he laughed out loud.

"My God... what's my name? Is it superfluous?"

"It's okay, since you bought it, you can keep it for yourself. I didn't expect my painting to be bought by an Italian collector. Now that it can be in your hands, you have a vision!"

When Jiang Lai spoke, he raised his head slightly, like a proud little peacock, his confidence and flamboyance impressed everyone around him.

It was only after Xiao Juan finished laughing that he realized that he hadn't laughed so freely and without burden for a long time.

In front of this woman, his scheming and premeditated schemes always seemed to be thwarted, and it was fine to end up in a thankless situation, but he didn't feel any frustration at all, and his mood was inexplicably better.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at drawing, you can speak Italian fluently, and you can use a gun. Are you a noble lady with a rich background?"

The man spoke in a more casual tone, and his body relaxed as he looked at Jiang Lai and waited for her response.

Jiang Lai was still smiling.

"That may disappoint you. My parents are very ordinary people, and I am also an ordinary person, but I usually have more hobbies. On the contrary, you look more like a rich young master."

Xiao Jun smiled without saying a word, watched Jiang Lai eat a large piece of cake, and then helped her take a photo in front of the coffee shop.

When the woman's smile was frozen, under the dazzling and warm evening, Xiao Juan suddenly felt that the girl Jiang Lai was not as miserable as the rumors said.

Tomorrow is Jiang Lai's last day in Italy.

"You like water so much, you can go to Venice tomorrow and visit the whole city by boat."

"Okay, but it's a bit embarrassing to have you accompany me these two days. I can go to Venice tomorrow by myself. You must have your own itinerary when you come."

Thinking of being separated from Jiang Lai tomorrow, Xiao Jun subconsciously found an excuse.

"It's okay. I came to Italy to play. Playing alone is worse than playing with two people. Let's go together."

Seeing that Jiang Lai was silent, Xiao Jun added another sentence.

"After all, you are my savior."

"Why do I feel that my savior is a bit disadvantaged?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Juan only felt that Jiang Lai was open and cute, so he shook his head helplessly.

"You are really outspoken."

"I've always been like this, it's so uncomfortable to hide."

On the cruise ship in the water city of Venice, a freelance photographer randomly took pictures of the beautiful scenery and culture of the city. With the sound of the shutter, the men and women in the camera were sitting together. The man was talking about something, and the woman was listening carefully with her chin propped up. This scene became one of the scenic spots of this romantic water city.

The photographer handed the camera to Xiao Jun and asked him in a low voice if he could keep the photo.

Xiao Juan lowered his eyes, looked carefully at the photo in front of him, raised the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Lai, who didn't know anything, and asked the photographer again

"Can you send me this picture?"

"Of course, you and your girlfriend are really a good match."

Xiao Jun smiled without saying a word, and after saving the photos, he went shopping with Jiang Lai.

"Have you booked your ticket? If not, you can go with my plane."

"No, no, I'll go back with my boss and don't bother you."

"Your boss?"

"Well, I'm the original artist of the light-sensing game now, and my boss is also here to discuss business. I've been here for so long just waiting for his plane to go back together."

Jiang Lai smiled calmly, while Xiao Jun frowned silently.

Light-sensing game boss?Xu Guang?The Playboy?

Can he take the initiative to invite Jiang Lai to board his private jet?

Xiao Juan didn't say much. The plan to come to Italy this time seemed to be a success, but it didn't seem to be that successful. He himself couldn't figure out what was going on with the current situation.

After parting, Jiang Lai received a call from Xu Guang, asking her to wait at the hotel to return home together.

Not long after I hung up the phone, another one called.

It's Shen Liao.

In the past few days, he has been tirelessly making calls every day. The man who used to not even reply to messages, is now humble and humble every day asking for peace.

This time Jiang Lai didn't hang up the phone.

"Jiang Lai..."

The man's voice was low and hoarse, which made people feel distressed.

"When will you come back?"

"It's just a few days, what's the matter?"

"miss you."

Shen is reticent, but he never talks nonsense, and he is caught off guard by being straightforward.

Jiang Lai pursed his lips and smiled.

"I'm about to get on the plane, hang up first, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone and getting into Xu Guang's car, he returned to China by plane.

This time Jiang Lai didn't stay in Jiang City, but went back to his hometown directly. When she came to the door with her luggage and saw a new car parked under the corridor at a glance, for some reason, Jiang Lai subconsciously felt that the car was a bit strange. Something is wrong.
