The man smiled and said, "My name is Chu Xi, and I am the owner of unit number twenty-two."
Number 22 wasn't exactly close to him, but it wasn't too far either, being in the same villa area. She'd overheard the maids talking about it a couple of days ago; someone had finally moved into number 22. They said the owner had returned from abroad and was a rather handsome man.
But they also said that while he is handsome, he is still not as good-looking as Mr. [Name].
Wan Ge simply gave a curt "oh," and just then the butler arrived. Wan Ge glanced at her watch; it was already one o'clock.
"Madam, it's time for lunch."
"Okay," Wan Ge replied, and the butler also stepped forward to help pack up the painting tools.
Chu Xi seemed to still be reeling from the word "Madam." When she came to her senses, she reached out to grab Wan Ge's opponent, but Wan Ge dodged her perfectly.
"What's wrong?" Wan Ge looked up at him.
"You still haven't told me your name," Chu Xi said softly again.
"You don't need to know." After saying that, Wan Ge was about to leave again, but suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look at him.
A light flashed in Chu Xi's eyes again, but it was extinguished by her next words: "Also, let me remind you, this area is private property, you'd better leave quickly."
Although not the entire lakeside area belongs to their family, the area to the south does. The place where Chu Xi is currently located is also within their family's territory.
After Wan Ge finished speaking, she left with the butler. On the way, the butler asked her if she was hot and thirsty.
Wan Ge shook her head: "Thank you, Aunt Mei, I'm neither hungry nor thirsty."
This housekeeper had watched Qianzhi grow up, so she was naturally different from other servants. Therefore, Wan Ge would be more affectionate when talking to her.
Aunt Mei spoke softly, "The master knows that the madam likes that area, and he's preparing to have it renovated."
"Hmm?" Wan Ge's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
The scenery there is beautiful, but there's really nothing there except some wildflowers and trees.
Aunt Mei seemed to suddenly realize she had let something slip, and quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Ahem, no... nothing."
Actually, Qianzhi knew that she liked it, so he wanted to have it renovated so that Wan Ge could have a place to rest and to make the whole place more beautiful.
The lake was originally an artificial lake, and the surrounding plants were also planted by humans, so there is nothing wrong with human modification.
…
In the afternoon, Wan Ge did not go out, but instead finished the entire painting in the studio.
Once the painting was dry, it was sealed and preserved.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Zhi returned home on time. Before he even entered the door, the bodyguard next to him told him who Wu Ge had met when she went out that night.
Qian Zhi frowned slightly: "Since it's private property, remember to put up a sign to remind people."
He just felt there was no need to stop him, since almost everyone in the area knew that it was his private space, so Qianzhi never thought that someone would accidentally wander in, especially a young and handsome man who also shared a love of painting with his wife.
"The illegitimate son of the Chu family who was found?" Qian Zhi said in a cold tone, then walked directly into the living room.
After asking Aunt Mei, he learned that his wife was in the studio on the third floor, so he went up there directly.
…
Just as Wan Ge finished cleaning her art supplies, she was suddenly hugged by someone. She didn't need to guess who it was.
