“The name of this piece is Coming from the East.”

She placed the painting on the table with one hand and, with the other, handed a note over the Gu Jiangxin.

“Deposit the payment into this account.”

Gu Jiangxin took the note from him.

Recipient: Gao Xiu-e.

He gave her a smile immediately and temporarily put away the odd sensation that he had just a moment ago. “Ah, so you are Master Gao. Your reputation precedes you.”

“Little Shishi, if you don’t mind me saying, you can always just ignore him but you shouldn’t mess around with your paintings. Even when we paint casually for fun, our concepts should still be comprehensive and reasonable. Being too free form could affect your future work.”

Lao Lui sighed after watching her for a little while.

“Look at your scenery. What season is that? Why is there snow in the mountain but hibiscus in this woman’s hair?

“And, why would there be such an elaborate structure in such a remote area? The girl was dressed fancily but why was the guy in such fancy clothes when he was getting water? This mades no sense!”

Gu Jiangxin was ecstatic. “You are Ink Painting Guru?”

Of course not.

Gao Xiu-e shook her head inside the room but continued to recite what Gu Shishi had written down for her. “I am only going to paint one right here, right now. You can take it or leave it.

“And I am asking for 30 million yuan for it.”

Gu Jiangxin frowned a little but quickly came to terms with it.

30 million yuan was not an unreasonable price in an auction. It was a bit high for a normal purchase.

But he had spent so much time trying to get his hand on her work and had wasted so much time and even came to beg for a painting shamelessly and, finally…. He would be able to have one!

She ran away because she worried subconsciously that Gu Jiangxin would snap.

Had he learned that she was Ink Painting Guru and he wasn’t able to a painting of hers. What if he lost self-control? How was this roomful of grandmas and grandps be able to stop a man in his prime?

She couldn’t possibly go head-to-head with him right now.

She rubbed her stomach and quickly looked for a place to sit. She mulled over whether it was now time to text the boss for help.

“You are pregnant?!”

Gao Xiu-e, looking at how Gu Shishi was acting, figured it out all of a sudden.

Gu Shishi’s face turned redder and she nodded.
