Ye Shen showed the picture on his phone to Zong Beili. He knew that Tong Huaer could draw, but the painting was not signed and Ye Shen was not sure where it came from.
Zong Beili's cold black eyes glanced at the painting and his brows tightened.
Star map!
Who else could there be but her!
Even without a signature, Zong Beili immediately identified the painting as Tong Huaer's, not to mention that he was already familiar with the traces of her painting!
"Young master Zong, after the auction, Lan Shaoyan..."
"Where will the auction be held?"
Zong Beili's cold voice suddenly interrupted Ye Shen. The image of him watching the stars with Tong Huaer kept popping up in his mind, and his temple suddenly jumped.
She really showed up!
"In senor." Ye shen said.
"...
Zong Beili didn't say anything, pursed his lips, turned around and strode towards the elevator.
Ye Shen frowned and looked at his back. He quickly chased after him and picked up his phone to make a call.
The next day.
Tong Huaer hesitated to leave, but Bruce was not at the manor. She thought about it and decided to call Bruce.
"The earl is coming back soon. Everyone move faster."
Tong Huaer suddenly heard Sophie's voice and saw the maids around her busy. She frowned and walked over, "Sophie Butler, is Mr. Bruce coming back today?"
"Yes, the car is almost at the door." Sophie smiled at her.
Since Bruce was coming back soon, Tong Huaer decided to say it in front of him and thank him for the time.
The Bruce family was a traditional aristocrat, and there were many rules in the manor. For example, when he came back, the maids would come to the door to greet him, and Tong Huaer was no exception.
At the entrance of the villa, a few luxurious cars drove in. Tong Huaer and the maids stood together. The luxurious car stopped, and the bodyguards respectfully opened the door. Bruce slowly walked out of the car.
"Welcome the earl home."
The maids' neat voices rang out from the entrance of the manor.
Bruce's tall figure walked towards the door. Her deep blue eyes were like a sea. When she passed Tong Hua as a child, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, "Come to the study."
With that said, Bruce and his assistant immediately left.
Tong Huaer was stunned for a moment when he heard a smiling voice behind him.
"Tong, the earl hasn't come back for so long. It seems that he misses you!"
"Your lordship must be very powerful, tong. How pitiful are you?"
A group of maids winked at her vaguely. Tong Huaer blushed and didn't know what to say.
Foreigners were open to that. Because she took care of Frank, Bruce would ask her every time she went on a business trip. The maids thought she had an ulterior relationship with Bruce.
"Tong, hurry up and don't let the earl wait for you."
Sophie said.
Tong Huaer smiled at her, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the study.
Knock knock knock."
"Come in."
Bruce's voice rang in the room. Tong Huaer pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Bruce's assistants standing in front of the desk. They seemed to be discussing something.
Bruce glanced at the door, made a gesture, and the assistants left.
"How have you been lately?" Bruce closed the file and looked up at child Huaer.
"Well, I'm fine. Frank has been doing well recently. He's not sick, but he hasn't made much progress in speaking. It's about the same as before. Besides, he's already started his class. The teacher says he's very talented in math."
Knowing that Bruce was concerned about Frank's recent situation, Tong Huaer quickly told him.
"I know." Bruce nodded.
Tong Huaer was stunned for a moment, then realized that someone had reported to him about Frank, and he was not surprised.
"This is all your credit." Bruce said.
Tong Huaer regained his composure and quickly waved his hand. He smiled and said, "It's Frank who's smart."
"By the way, the company has developed a resort in the bay. You take Frank and that kid to relax. I happen to have a meeting there."
Bruce said.
Vacation?
Tong Huaer shook his head, frowned and said, "I can't go."
"Why?" Bruce showed a hint of doubt and quickly smiled again, "Are you worried about him? Don't worry, my people will take care of it."
"No." Tong Huaer sighed and looked at Bruce with a serious face, "Actually, I had something to look for you today. I... I was going to leave."
"Why?"
Bruce did not show a surprised expression. He looked at Tong Huaer with a light expression, but raised his eyebrows slightly.
"...
Tong Huaer looked at him and told him everything that happened yesterday.
"Not enough is enough!"
Bruce said coldly after listening. Tong Huaer frowned and said nothing. Bruce and Lan Shaoyan never got along. It's not surprising that he would say that.
"But have you ever thought about where you're going? You should know that you don't have an id. Maybe you'll be detained by the police after you leave this door."
Bruce frowned.
"I..." Tong Huaer bit his lip and suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Bruce and said, "Mr. Bruce, can you help me get a fake identity?"
With only one identity, she would be able to walk outside without any scruples, or else she might really be arrested as Bruce said.
"I can do it, but there's actually another way. Even if he finds you, it won't hurt you."
Bruce said.
"What's the solution?" Tong Huaer looked at him in surprise.
"You marry me." Bruce said.
"...
Tong Huaer was stunned.
Get married?!
In the luxurious study, Bruce's fingers tapped on the table. He looked at Tong Huaer and said, "As long as you marry me, he will have no choice but to find you. Mrs. Bruce's identity will become your umbrella."
"But... Why? You..."
Tong Huaer returned to his senses and asked doubtfully.
Marriage is a matter of two people, especially someone like Bruce. How could his marriage be so hasty?
"Actually, that's what Frank was thinking." Bruce looked at the surprised Tong Huaer and explained, "You know that Frank likes you very much and even thinks you are his mother. Miss Tong, I can marry you, protect you, and give you a respectable position, but... I'm sorry, I only have my wife in my heart."
When Frank made this request, he was a little surprised, but he did not dislike it.
While this woman was at the villa, he had observed her. She was very kind and sincere, and indeed qualified for the position of Mrs. Bruce.
