Chapter 36

The development of things was always dramatic.

Ever since the so-called paternity test happened, Fang Qing started feeling indifferent about everything.

She even composed herself the next day and prepared to go out and meet Luo Yu.

The time was set at a coffee shop outside the villa area.

The environment was elegant and there were few people.

When Fang Qing went, Luo Yu had already arrived. He was sitting by the window and looking at her with a smile.

Out of the blue, Fang Qing went straight for him without even asking.

“Fang Qing, right?”

Fang Qing nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that she hadn’t mistaken him for someone else. Otherwise, it would have been awkward.

Now that she had met him in person, she realized that Luo Yu was actually very young. In any case, he looked to be of the same age as her.

His neat white shirt and wide shorts made him look like a teenager no matter how she looked at him. He was in university.

He didn’t look like a boss at all…

“Hello, I’m Luo Yu. I’ve been very excited to meet you.”

Fang Qing had just sat down when the other party suddenly stood up. He extended his hand respectfully, and the excitement in his words was clearly displayed.

“Hello, I’m just an ordinary person. You don’t have to be like this.”

Fang Qing smiled sheepishly and hurriedly stood up to shake his hand.

“I’m sorry, I might have scared you. Let me try to be a bit more normal, haha. You might not know this, but I really like your work. I really enjoy it a lot, so I hope that the matter regarding this studio can really be settled. This is me expressing my sincerity.”

Luo Yu leaned against the edge of the table, trying his best to calm himself down.

The moment he saw Fang Qing, he really did not expect her to be so beautiful!

When he saw her, he could not help but smile.

Smiling, he pushed a bank card over.

“There’s two million in there, just a little token from me. Of course, I know this is far from enough, but don’t worry, the amount inside will only increase as time and our work together progresses.”

Fang Qing was stunned.

She did not even look at the bank card.

She scratched her head and said to ease the awkwardness, “We can discuss the setting up of the studio. I can also pay for the studio myself.”

“That won’t do. I’m the one who suggested setting up the studio, so I have to be the one to pay for it. But don’t worry, you’ll definitely own more shares in it than anyone else.”

“…”

Fang Qing even suspected that he was here to do charity.

This naked love really made Fang Qing feel extremely uncomfortable.

She forcefully changed the topic.

“May I know why you like my paintings?”

At this point, Luo Yu took a sip of his coffee and lowered his head with a smile. “Before that, may I take the liberty of asking?”

“Go ahead.”

“Did the famous painting that Lu Si obtained from the auction come from your hands?”

As soon as she said this, Fang Qing’s hand that was holding the coffee spoon paused. She suddenly grinned and forced out a smile. “Why would you say that? That painting belonged to her, it definitely must be from her hands then.”

Luo Yu sized her up. When he heard this, he understood everything.

He did not show any doubt.

He understood.

“I’ve been following you for many years. I’ve long understood your style. You’ve posted and deleted some of your paintings. I don’t understand why, but I’ve saved them all. You can say that I don’t lack a single one of your works.”

“You don’t lack a single one?”

Fang Qing was stunned. That was her habit. She posted online for fear of being discovered by her mother and father, so she posted and deleted them all. They would go into the trash can, and she set the trash can settings to never delete them.

For this, she even opened a membership.

“Mm, there’s a USB drive that I own specially for your paintings. I didn’t bring it with me this time. I’ll show it to you next time.”

“Okay.”

“Actually, there’s another main reason. Lu Si’s paintings are all very ordinary. They were far from the standard of that painting. Let alone an expert, even a half-baked artist like me could tell.”

Luo Yu clicked his tongue and sighed with disdain.

It was already common for people to buy and sell paintings underground. Everyone in the industry knew about it. After all, everyone had their moments when they ran out of inspiration, but this era was too fast.

There was simply no time for you to find inspiration.

“Her paintings are not touching enough, but every single one of your paintings is very eye-catching and heart-palpitating.”

Luo Yu started to praise her, and his eyes started to shine.

“Fang Qing, why are you here?”

The indifferent voice was familiar yet unfamiliar to Fang Qing.

Such a cold tone was something Fang Qing had never heard before.

Luo Yu raised his head and looked at Xu Yi. He chuckled. “She’s on a date with me. Are you here to spoil the mood for us?”

Fang Qing widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. She shook her head repeatedly, but then she realized that Xu Yi’s gaze was not on her at all.
