C87

When Ren returned to the gallery, her mind was in a mess.

She flipped through the dates. The time for the Van Gogh Cup was approaching, probably just a few days away.

She had to calm herself and try to finish the final touch of her work and hand it over in time.

As long as Ren Jiya thought of the gentle, dignified, and illustrious Fan'er who acted like she was being controlled behind her back, she would be extremely furious and grit her teeth, wishing she could never see this woman again.

Therefore, she had to give this girl, who did not know how high the sky and how deep the earth was, some face during the match.

See if she dares to ride on her head.

With that in mind, Ren Jiya became more obedient in front of the painting. She took a brush and colored ink and carefully drew colors on the draft, modifying it.

Xue Tingxiao knew that Ren Ji Ya had to hand in her work in the next few days, so he took the initiative to take over all the work, allowing Ren Ji Ya to complete her work in peace.

Almost three days later, she locked herself in her studio at the gallery and did not go home.

There was still one last bit of work to be done on the coloring, which could be done on the painting. Ren ZIya's eyebrows raised in a joyful smile.

She stood up from the drawing board and stretched her stiff body and sore neck. It was dark outside.

However, a crescent moon was hanging in the sky, emitting a dazzling light. This made Ren Jiya unable to resist opening the window, wanting to enjoy the beautiful view of the night.

However, the pleasant sight disappeared the moment she opened the window.

A mass of dark clouds drifted by. Lightning suddenly rumbled in the sky. She was so scared that her whole body trembled. She quickly closed the window.

The freshly painted paintings could not be dampened, so Ren Jiya quickly found a dry cloth to cover the painting.

Just as she was putting the painting back on, the overhead light suddenly flashed, followed by a series of thunders outside the window.

The studio was completely dark.

This is... There was a blackout?

Ren Jiya quickly turned on the light on her mobile phone and carefully pushed open the studio's door.

"Tingxiao, Tingxiao …" Ren Jiya followed the weak light down the stairs, while calling out Xue Tingxiao's name.

However, there was no one who could be with her. Xue Tingxiao had already gotten off work.

In order to not disturb Ren Jiya's work, she did not come up to greet her.

Moreover, it was now ten in the evening. Xue Tingxiao had locked the door to the first floor, and there was only Ren Jiya in the entire gallery.

She covered her chest as she walked, afraid that a ghost would suddenly appear in the corridor.

When she was certain that there were no other people in the gallery, she prepared to return to her room on the second floor.

There was a sudden low rustling on the first-floor porch, as if someone had unlocked the door.

"Tingxiao, did you come back?" Ren ZIya's heart was pounding fiercely, she threw the light from her phone towards the door.

A tall and straight figure strode towards her against the light, and she immediately realized that this person was not Xue Tingxiao.

A woman's figure was usually petite and nimble, but the figure that just entered was incomparably tall, causing a horrifying feeling to flash through her mind.

"Who?" Who's there? "Don't go in there!" Ren Jiya raised his voice to boost his courage, but he could not stop that figure from continuing to walk towards her.

"If you continue walking and get close to me, I won't be polite." She continued to raise her voice, but he didn't answer.

She was frightened. Her whole body was trembling violently, like a frightened bird. She let out a long sigh and prepared to run to the second floor.

Pictures of the police and criminals fighting on TV appeared in his mind without warning.

She had even thought of how she would respond to the first strike when that person came close to her.

He first kicked, then hooked his fist, and with the last movement he ruthlessly flipped over and strangled his neck, this move was definitely fatal.

But why was his feet still trembling so violently?

As a result, when she turned her head, she was caught off guard and bumped into a thick figure.

She covered her ears and closed her eyes. She had completely forgotten about all the moves just now. Even the phone in her hand that was firmly held had suddenly let go.

In the end, the tall man leaning on her slightly bent his body and caught her phone by her side.

"You, you, what are you doing?" Ren Jiya subconsciously pushed the person in front of her, but in the end, she put her phone into her own hand.

"Look carefully." The voice of the person beside him was low and sexy.

Ren Jiya was slightly taken aback before she let go of her hand that was covering her eyes.

For some inexplicable reason, this voice caused her to feel at peace in the darkness, and it even made her feel very familiar with it.

She hurriedly raised the light from her phone. Only then did she realize that the man in front of her was Gu Yannan.

He was only wearing the garb of a body cultivator. His temperament was completely different from the Gu Yannan she had seen in the past.

Normally, Gu Yannan would give off a cold and unapproachable feeling, but now, standing in front of her, Gu Yannan was gentle and calm.

His face was hidden in the faint glow of his cell phone, but his burning gaze was fixed on Ren Ziling's face. His deep eyes were fixed on her for an instant, and his voice had a hint of seduction. "You really are here."

The next moment, Ren Jiya blurted out, "You just used your key to open the door, how did you get the key to the gallery?"

"I gave you this gallery. Isn't it normal for me to have a key?" Gu Yannan said in a low voice as he placed his arms around Ren JIya's shoulders.

He felt her body tremble slightly, the strength in his hands slightly increased, and he held her tightly.

"Let me go, why are you here?" Ren Jiya's pale face had not yet recovered from the shock.

The corridor's light suddenly dimmed.

Ren ZIya felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and her cell phone went on strike.

Normally, people with poor eyesight would have sensitive senses. Gu Yannan was such a person.

"It's raining. I came by to see you."

He would never tell her that he had come all the way from the Ren Family to her own rented house, only to discover that she was still in her studio late at night.

"You can go back. I'm fine." Ren Jiya stubbornly tilted her head, deliberately avoiding the hot temperature and enchanting voice from the man.

"It's fine. Are you waving your phone around?" Gu Yannan pinched her nervous little face and could not help but smile.

Gu Yannan had seen the entire situation just now. Ren Jiaya was already wailing in her heart.

Why was it that when she was in a sorry state, she would always be seen by this man and caught by him?

With a pale face and a frown, she said with a bit more strength in her hands, "Anyway, you can go back. I don't need you."

"Is that so?" Gu Yannan flicked her face as he coldly stared at her. Suddenly, he moved closer to her, making her feel flustered and at a loss of what to do.

"Yes, there's no need!" She glared at him again.

Hadn't she made it clear enough?

"Well, you stay here." Gu Yannan let go.
