Forced to Date a Big Shot

Ye Li wanted to reject him, but Xue Sheng did not give her the chance to. He had already stood up after dinner and headed upstairs. “We’ll use it tomorrow night. I’ll go handle that painting and find a box to store it.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Li stood up and chased after him. “Xue Sheng, I don’t need you to save my face. You…”

As they chatted, they headed upstairs.

Since Xue Sheng agreed, this matter was basically settled.

Xue Xi slowly stood up and went upstairs. When she entered, she saw the message on WeChat: “Not dead? Where? Do you have any news about her?”

As though seeing that she did not reply, the other party sent another message.

Painter: “Sister Xi?”

Xue Xi then picked up her phone and replied slowly: “You can find her at the charity ball tomorrow.”

Painter: “Alright, I’m so grateful to you!”

After replying, Fu Chun heaved a long sigh of relief.

Fu Yuanxiu stood beside him and coughed before asking, “Dad, can this young lady’s words be trusted?”

Fu Chun was nearly 50 years old and looked very refined. He said, “If you can’t believe it, we’ll know anyway when we go there tomorrow.”

Fu Yuanxiu was confused. “But do you have to look for Night Li?”

Fu Chun sighed heavily. “Chinese paintings are no longer mainstream. A rascal like you went to learn oil paintings. There are fewer and fewer people who can truly understand the national art. Although Xu Fang’s landscape paintings are superb, they are still lacking in some areas. All these years, the best landscape painter I’ve ever seen is Night Li.”

Fu Chun continued, “Our game combines the preferences of young people nowadays, but the main purpose is to promote national paintings. I want to use the best.”

He looked at the contract beside him and fell silent. “If we still can’t find Night Li tomorrow, let’s sign this contract for Xu Fang!”

…

The next day, when they were eating at the provision store, Xiang Huai kept asking, “What’s happening tonight?”

Xue Xi replied apathetically, “We’re attending a charity ball.”

Xiang Huai looked at her for a while and said, “I’m quite free tonight.”

Xue Xi glanced at him while eating her bun. “Oh.”

“…” Why didn’t the little kid mention bringing him along?

He coughed and took the initiative to mention, “Do you need me to accompany you?”

“No need.” Xue Xi finished her bun and held his hand. After a while, she stood up. “I’m going to school.”

Xiang Huai sighed deeply when he saw her leave the provision store.

He would rather rely on his father-in-law than on a kid.

He picked up his phone and sent Xue Sheng a WeChat message: “Uncle, I heard that there’s to be a charity auction tonight?”

The other party replied very quickly: “Yes, are you interested? I’ll bring you along.”
