Su Wanbai walked to her teacher's side. A picture on the magazine attracted her attention.
It was a watercolor painting of a girl's side face, very much like herself. His gaze swept across the signature on the lower right corner of the watercolor painting. It was actually Murong Aotian!
"Miss Wanbai, you should sit here and take a look." The teacher smiled and handed the magazine to Su Wanbai, then chased after Little Muhao.
Su Wanbai extended a slender finger and gently turned the page back.
This was a financial interview, so of course it would be with Murong Aotian. Most of the articles in the first half were obscure and difficult to understand, but the second half were much easier. Murong Aotian had recently become infatuated with drawing, and would sit down to draw for a while every day whenever he had the time. The most rare thing was that he didn't ask for a teacher, but instead relied entirely on himself to learn.
Su Wanbai's gaze landed on the water color once again. The experienced brush strokes and the precise color, it really did not seem like the work of a beginner. The point is, this is a good picture. Her delicate and moving expression, along with the limitless elegance in her eyes, made it seem as if she would be able to walk out of the painting very soon.
Su Wanbai was a little intoxicated by the sight, her mouth couldn't help but curl into a faint smile.
At that time, she had only told Housekeeper Li in a bad mood to learn how to draw. I really didn't expect him to learn it. He was a man of great artistic talent, and from that day on he was able to paint so well in a matter of months.
What she didn't know was that he had put almost all his effort into painting.
There were all sorts of trifling things to do in the group every day, but even if he came home in the middle of the night, he wouldn't rest for more than three hours. Three hours was the minimum standard for him. Although Su Wanbai's departure could not be changed, he could not help but think of her. Sometimes, when he could not even hold on, he would take out the Demon Doll and listen to her recording. He could not count the number of sleepless nights the tape had accompanied him through.
Housekeeper Li knew about Su Wanbai moving to the Moser Manor the first thing he knew, and she also knew that Jin Yihan had ordered a lot of magazines to fill Su Wanbai up with boring time.
After Murong Aotian found out about this, he was very diligent in his practice of drawing until he could draw this satisfactory piece of work. He was as excited as a child, running round and round the room with the picture in his hand. He carefully handed over the painting to the Housekeeper Li to print. But just the painting alone was not enough, he had to let Su Wanbai know that it was done by him. Thus, the Housekeeper Li contacted the magazine with the largest circulation in S City, Global Finance.
At that time, the editor of the magazine was completely shocked. Murong Aotian had always been a mysterious figure to them. He actually accepted an interview without any conditions!
"Of course we would be honored to be able to choose this magazine from the Chairman Murong. However, we can't publish the same thing in the next issue. " The editor bluntly expressed his views.
"Then we'll have to buy your magazine. Someone will come over this afternoon to finalize the matter." The Housekeeper Li said.
The result was just as Housekeeper Li had said, Globe Magazine was quickly bought out by the Murong Group, and even the sample magazine had their pages adjusted because of the sudden addition of Murong Aotian's exclusive interview.
In the printing press, batch after batch of new magazines came out and went on sale.
In just half a day, Globe Magazine had sold out.
On the front page, there was the title "Legendary Murong Aotian in the Exclusive Dialogue". Just this name alone was enough to attract the attention of others. Moreover, the second half of the story was accompanied by his first painting. A powerful business leader could paint? On the streets, countless young girls and young women were discussing this topic.
The newspaper that Su Wanbai usually read the most was the "City Morning Post". The supplement would occasionally have some especially good essays, but she didn't even bother to look at the other magazines. Murong Aotian was not interested in the business, but he had always hoped to see it. She couldn't see this episode, there was still the next one, and if she could see it, then his goal would be achieved. He never thought that he would actually be so lucky, to be seen by Su Wanbai the moment it was published.
"What are you looking at? "He's so lost in thought?" Jin Yihan had been standing quietly behind Su Wanbai for a very long time, but she did not notice it.
"It's nothing!" Su Wanbai panicked, and the magazine in her hands fell to the ground as well.
Why should she panic? Actually, she didn't even know it herself. In that short second, she felt both embarrassed and embarrassed that someone else had spied on her. Even her cheeks had turned slightly hot.
Jin Yihan bent over and picked up the magazine, then casually flipped through a few pages and returned it to Su Wanbai's hands.
"It's really good!" Jin Yihan tried his best to hide his strong emotions as he said lightly.
Su Wanbai lowered her head and did not reply.
What should she say? Praise his mortal enemy in front of Jin Yihan? That won't do.
"At seven o'clock in the evening, there's a ball in the square behind the villa. We must attend it!" Jin Yihan said casually.
"I don't want to go!" Su Wanbai said.
"We'll wait there until you show up!" Jin Yihan curled his lips, revealing a meaningful smile.
He seemed to have other things to do, and this time he did not stay as usual, but quickly disappeared from Su Wanbai's sight.
Su Wanbai did not care about the "we" that Jin Yihan said. She thought that Jin Yihan was referring to her uncle's family.
When Su Wanbai was leaning on the bed in the afternoon, reading a book, she had actually fallen asleep. When she woke up and looked out the window, the sky had already turned dark.
The clock on the wall said seven-thirty.
Su Wanbai sat up in a hurry. There was a big box placed at the corner of the bed. Isn't it just a little ball? Was there a need to be so grand? Su Wanbai shook his head and laughed bitterly, using the fastest way to put it on, she found a pair of high heels to put it on and rushed to the plaza at the back of the villa.
Heavens, why were there so many people? This scene was simply a super high quality banquet.
She froze at the edge of the square, momentarily at a loss. At this moment, a ray of light fell upon Su Wan Bai's body. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes. When she finally adapted to the light, a man walked into her sight. He was dressed like a European royal family.
The banquet had yet to begin. Everyone was chatting in low voices as if they were waiting for something.
Jin Yihan walked in front of Su Wanbai and looked at her with his deep and affectionate eyes.
"What are you doing?" Su Wanbai seemed to have sensed something, as she asked softly.
"Wanbai, I love you! Will you marry me? " Jin Yihan said as he knelt on one knee and looked at Su Wanbai in anticipation.
Su Wanbai sighed lightly. Indeed, it was as she had expected, this Jin Yihan had done it on purpose. He had arranged so many friends to come here just to put pressure on her. If there were only the two of them in this space, she would have rejected them without thinking. But he was from Young Master Jin, and had his uncle's family in his hands. If she did not agree, what would happen? She had always believed that Jin Yihan's gentle exterior hid a vicious and evil heart. She didn't want to use her uncle's family's life to confirm her guess, but marriage was a matter of life and death, how could she be so reckless!
"Promise him!" Promise him! Promise him … " The crowd began to heckle. Even the young Su Huageng couldn't resist his excitement and started to shout along with the others. He also hoped that her niece would be able to marry Jin Yihan. At that time, not only would she be able to live a good life as a rich family's young mistress, but her entire family would also be able to bask in her glory. Wanbai was such a charming and beautiful child, it was destined that she would bring unexpected good luck to the Su Family.
Su Muyan stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes filled with killing intent as if she could kill in an instant. She hated Jin Yihan so much that the roots of her teeth itched. This hypocrite, Su Wanbai, in addition to her high and mighty personality was truly a perfect match. She should be happy, because once Jin Yihan got tired of her, she would be even more miserable than herself! Even though she thought this, a strong and heart-wrenching feeling permeated through every nerve in her body. Jin Yihan had hurt her so ruthlessly, why did she still want the woman in front of him to be her? Two streams of clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She turned her back and ruthlessly wiped them away.
"Wiping the cold, we haven't known each other for long. Although I also have good feelings towards you, but it seems that you haven't reached the stage where we can discuss marriage. If you love me enough, just give me a little more time, okay? " Su Wanbai smiled like a flower, her eyes sparkling like black gems.
A sliver of disappointment flashed past Jin Yihan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Darling, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry!" Jin Yihan held Su Wanbai's hand and stood up without batting an eyelid.
At this moment, the pink diamond ring that he had meticulously crafted lay quietly in the pocket of his suit.
If he didn't get the chance to wear it under her hand this time, he would probably be forced to force her to submit the next time.
It was a scene none of them wanted to face, and he would have preferred her to see himself as a gentleman forever. However, there was a limit to any man's patience. He could always spoil her, but he really couldn't guarantee that as time went by, his desire for her would be the same as before. If he had to use force to solve all the troubles, he really didn't know if he would still be able to obtain her heart.
Get her heart? When he thought about this, Jin Yihan was shocked.
He was just taking revenge on Murong Aotian, as long as she was by his side, his heart would ache, was that not enough? However, it was difficult to control a person's ambition. He actually hoped that she would stubbornly fall in love with him, and let Murong Aotian feel like he had a thorn in his back for the rest of his life.
