Chapter 292 "Dare you still distracted?"
The bathroom at Luoshuiwan was even larger than the one at Luyuan. Next to the bathtub was a nearly full glass wall facing the ocean, though it was a retractable, single-pane glass design. Lin Shutang hadn't known about this when he first came here, and he was surprised that someone could design a bathroom like this, without fear of being seen.
Lin Shutang rested his hand on the glass, his breathing unsteady, his heartbeat accelerating. He didn't know if it was because of the single-sided glass or because of what he was doing.
She vaguely saw that there seemed to be a man and a woman not far away outside, lighting up their mobile phones and walking hand in hand.
Li Yansheng moved his left hand down and touched her lower abdomen. He used a little force to make her stand up and move closer to him.
His hot breath hit her neck, and Lin Shutang shuddered unconsciously. Then, she felt a hot and wet touch on her earlobe, and her neck trembled again.
She tried her best to steady her breathing: "Yansheng, don't be like this."
A low laugh came from behind him, and he spoke in a deep and slow voice: "Do you still dare to be distracted? Hmm?"
Lin Shutang didn't answer this question, because his kiss landed on her first. Her breath was robbed, and the words she hadn't spoken in time were reduced to fragmented syllables.
When Lin Shutang woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
The aunt heard the noise, knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Madam, my husband has gone to the company. Before he left, he told me that if you are bored, you can go shopping and he will ask someone to accompany you."
Lin Shutang straightened his pajamas and stood up: "Okay."
However, she had no plans to leave. She'd been drawing as a hobby in college, and after arriving in Hong Kong, she'd spontaneously serialized a comic strip on her social media account. It had a lot of fans, and a publisher had approached her about buying the copyright. They were going to discuss the matter today.
Lin Shutang finished washing up, and it was only a few minutes before ten o'clock. She found the contact information in the backstage message and added the other party's WeChat.
[Hello, I am Perfume-soaked Begonia.]
The other party may be busy, so you may not receive a reply immediately after sending the message.
Lin Shutang waited for a few minutes, then stood up and went to get a glass of water when his phone lit up: "Hello, Teacher Haitang, thank you for giving us this opportunity to work together. I'd like to ask if you have a quote?"
The other party spoke very directly and did not seem to intend to waste time on unnecessary social interactions.
Lin Shutang didn't really have a quote. After all, she'd initially just drawn some scenes of her and Li Yansheng on a whim. Her artwork was unprofessional, and she'd only luckily gotten some attention. She hadn't considered pursuing this path before. She didn't really know much about comic book publishing.
The other party seemed to see Lin Shutang's dilemma and sent her their contract model first. The contract was divided into two modes: guaranteed minimum and buyout.
If you're worried about sales, you can choose to buy out, which will be slightly higher than the guaranteed price. Of course, if you're confident in your work, you can also choose the guaranteed price.
At this point, the other party seemed to be struggling. The text being typed was displayed for a while before a message came back: [For this first cooperation, the copyright fee will be 6%. If things go well later, you can increase it if you cooperate with us again.]
After that, he sent me the guaranteed price: [You can think about it again and reply to me later. It’s okay.]
Lin Shutang: [Okay.]
After finishing the chat, Lin Shutang started searching online for information about comic book publishing. After taking a look, she found that the price offered by the publisher was relatively reasonable for a newcomer.
"Madam, it's time for dinner."
Lin Shutang put away the tablet: "Okay."
When Lin Shutang came downstairs, Li Yansheng was already sitting in the living room. His coat was left hanging up, casually draped over the sofa next to him.
He was wearing only a white shirt, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and reading a financial magazine. The magazine wasn't too close to his eyes, a typical reading posture.
Lin Shutang seemed to have not seen him in such a casual and relaxed manner for a long time. For a moment, he was so mesmerized by the sight that he rested his hands on the wooden ladder and forgot to move his feet.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, Li Yansheng felt her gaze and looked over.
Seeing her standing there motionless, Li Yansheng put down the magazine and asked, "Why are you standing there?"
Lin Shutang finally came back to his senses and walked towards him.
After sitting down, Li Yansheng's hand naturally touched her waist gently. The weather was nice today, and Lin Shutang was wearing a slim-fitting long skirt with a fabric that was very close to her skin.
Li Yansheng's hands pinched her waist with moderate strength: "What are you thinking about so intently?"
Lin Shutang smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.
How should I put it? Say I was simply mesmerized by him?
Although this was true, Lin Shutang still didn't want to tell him such an answer. She was still tired and didn't want to be tired again.
Then, with a cunning flash in his eyes, he said, "I was thinking that you looked like an old cadre just now."
Li Yansheng could tell she was just making up an excuse to deal with him, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and rubbed her head: "Let's go eat!"
