Lu Si was stunned.

For a moment, she did not understand what she had just heard.

“Thank you for your painting that has helped me a lot. Your famous painting is of great significance to me.”

Lu Si sucked in a breath of cold air, and her heart raced uncontrollably.

She smiled in slight surprise and said, “No wonder Mr. Xu has been biting and not letting go. It has also caused me to bleed a lot, but it’s a little painful.”

“Huh?”

Under Xu Yi’s puzzled gaze, Lu Si looked over and smiled helplessly. “This painting was bought by my assistant, Li Yan. After all, it’s not easy for me to bid for it. My status is a little awkward.”

“Why do you want to buy your own painting? Were you unwilling to sell it?”

Why bother?

If it was for the sake of reputation, this painting was completely unnecessary. It was already very famous.

“Then, Mr. Xu, why are you thanking me? What kind of help did a painting give you?” Lu Si saw that Xu Yi was getting along very well with her, and her eyes were twinkling. She was extremely happy.

She could not help but move closer to Xu Yi, showing that she was very interested in him.

Xu Yi did not move his body away. Instead, he looked deeply at her and said with a serious expression, “It’s this painting that helped me to walk out of my low point. Whether it’s the meaning of this painting or its own color, it’s very worthy of praise. Just looking at it can ease one’s mood.”

Lu Si took a deep breath and said with a smile like a flower, “Mr. Xu’s praise is really the most pleasant thing I’ve ever heard. Thank you very much for helping Mr. Xu in a substantive way. It’s also my honor.”

Lu Si lowered her head and smiled. She put her hand on Xu Yi’s and said, “I invited Mr. Xu this time because I was touched by your love for my painting. So, I asked my assistant to buy it and give it to you as a gift.”

Xu Yi pulled his hand back and smiled. “I’m really grateful to you. There’s no need to give it to me.”

In a moment of desperation, Lu Si realized that she had been too hasty and was about to explain herself.

Xu Yi continued, “I can buy it from you at a high price. You can name your price. It doesn’t matter if it’s higher than the previous auction price.”

When Lu Si heard this, her smiling eyes fell on Xu Yi’s face. She teased, “Then I definitely have conditions. Of course, I’m not giving it to you for no reason.”

Who was Xu Yi?

He was an extremely famous existence in the country.

What Lu Si saw in Xu Yi was not the money and status he brought, but the innate charm of this man.

Lu Si fell deeply in love with him with just a glance.

Love at first sight.

It was exactly like this.

Looking at him, she could not control the smile on the corner of her mouth.

“What conditions?”

“Accompany me to dinner tonight. I’m inviting you out of kindness. If you refuse, it would be too hurtful to me.”

Lu Si’s intentions were more than obvious.

It was simply blatant.

But Xu Yi still agreed despite knowing everything.

He could not refuse Lu Si’s initiative.

…

Fang Qing waited in the lounge, but in the end, she received a text from Xu Yi.

It might be late before he could go back. Xu Yi asked Lin Lin to send her home first, so she didn’t have to wait for him.

Fang Qing didn’t need to think to know who Xu Yi had been spending time with.

It was also because of that painting that he was so interested in Lu Si. Fang Qing couldn’t help but start to edit the text messages. She had already organized her words, but when she saw the send button, Fang Qing still let out a deep sigh.

She deleted all those messages.

Then, she replied with an ‘okay’.

Then, she let herself put this matter to the back of her mind and gave Lin Lin a call.

She should keep her promise. The painting had nothing to do with her anymore.

When she returned home, Fang Qing estimated the time. She had nothing to do, so when she saw her auntie preparing dinner in the kitchen, she went in as well.

The auntie was a chef, and in the Xu family, she was only responsible for cooking.

It was very delicious.

Fang Qing liked it very much. After she came in, she smiled sweetly. “Can I make a dish?”

“Sure.”

The auntie was initially surprised, but after hearing it, she smiled and agreed.

Fang Qing’s specialty dish. She did not know how to cook, and she rarely had the opportunity to cook, but this dish was what she liked to eat.

She had been patiently learning for a long time!

After fiddling around in the kitchen, Fang Qing still didn’t handle some parts well. With the help of her auntie, she finally successfully cooked the dish!

It was a very simple dish.

Shredded pork with fish sauce.
