The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 711 - 709: Why Cry?
"But my passport is lost and I’m still in the process of replacing it, and I haven’t found the person I’m looking for!" She quickly changed the subject, "Little Uncle, how about this—when I have time, I’ll paint a picture for you as a gift?"
Lu Beichen hadn’t reacted yet when he heard her clap and say, "It’s settled then! Whenever I’m free, I’ll come find you, or rather, whenever you’re free, I’ll come find you. You’ll just need to cooperate with me then. It’s settled!"
She seemed very enthusiastic, and Lu Beichen didn’t expect her to be so talented, so he nodded, "Alright!"
Later, every other day she would ask him if he had time, showing true commitment, until one day, after Lu Beichen returned from a meeting, he found her sitting at his room door with a drawing board, crying quietly, and let her in.
"Do you really have to paint for me? And you cried?" Lu Beichen took off his jacket, went over to get a cup of tea, and handed it to her.
She previously just had reddened eyes, but once he asked, she burst into tears. Lu Beichen had never seen a woman cry without any regard for her image in front of him, feeling somewhat at a loss and a slight disdain. He threw tissues to her without uttering a word, focusing on his documents.
When she’d cried enough and was about to speak, she directly said, "Little Uncle, you just keep looking at your documents while I paint!"
She wiped her tears, set up the easel, adjusted the brushes, and seriously studied him.
A moment ago, she was crying so sadly, now she sobbed intermittently but was very focused on her task.
Lu Beichen used to think ordinary girls were like Gu Xiyao—knowledgeable and gentle. Or like Tu Yingying—clumsy and unruly.
Now, he felt like he didn’t know girls that well!
He lowered his head to look at the document, just feeling that clear eyes were always fixed on him, darting around his body, and the pencil made a scratching sound on paper. Lu Beichen occasionally glanced at her to see her bright eyes unwaveringly fixed on him!
Sighing, typically fond of quiet, at this moment the quiet felt strange to him.
He was about to stand up when she suddenly shouted, "Don’t move!"
Lu Beichen felt like he might be going crazy, as he obediently sat back down upon her command!
Time slowly passed, and the afternoon drifted away, until nightfall!
"Done!" Ji Niandong stood up to admire her work, "This is the most dedicated painting I’ve ever made, it’s exactly alike!"
The painter was very satisfied, and the painted person walked over to stand beside her. On the easel, his focused expression was exactly like when he looked at documents, even the strands of his hair were meticulously painted just like hers.
She truly was attentive, earnestly observing everything about him. But why hadn’t she noticed that he was uneasy sitting there, which made it possible to capture such concentration in his expression? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The room’s light shone on them, casting their shadows on the easel, presenting a special kind of atmosphere.
The tranquility at this moment was quite refreshing!
"How is it, Little Uncle? Are you satisfied?" She turned her head to him, her innocent eyes merely asking if he was satisfied.
Lu Beichen nodded, "It’s painted very well!"
"Then I’ll put it away, I’ll have it framed first before giving it to you, otherwise it’s easy to damage. I’ve never given anyone such a gift, so don’t ruin it!"
"Sure, but first, you have to tell me why you cried earlier?"
