The sound of a hairdryer was ringing in her ears, and Ye Ruan thought she had misheard.
She looked up at Gu Chen with surprise, but Gu Chen's eyes remained as gentle as ever, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Her heart started beating faster without her realizing it.
Going to the Gu family's old house was her mission, but she was now feeling a little resistant to completing it.
By the time Gu Chen finished drying her hair, she had already made a decision.
She grasped Gu Chen's large hand, her dark, bright eyes, like chilled grapes, looking at him. "I have a surprise for you."
Gu Chen's lips unconsciously curved upwards. Looking at Ye Ruan's adorable appearance, he couldn't help but place a kiss on her brow. "What surprise?"
"Telling you now wouldn't be a surprise," Ye Ruan said mysteriously.
Gu Chen and Mr. Meyer had already discussed the cooperation in the study today, but there were still some specific details that needed to be finalized.
After Gu Chen went to his study to work, Ye Ruan took out her phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly, and a sprightly old man's voice came from the other end, "You brat, you still know how to call an old man like me?"
I thought you'd forgotten all about this old man since you went back to China!
snort!"
"How could I forget myself? I can't forget you, sir!" Ye Ruan wasn't angry at all at the old man's arrogant snort. "Are you in the country now, sir?"
I need your help with something.
"Hmph!" The old man's even more dissatisfied snort came from the other end of the phone. "I knew you heartless little thing would only come to my door when you need something. If you don't need my help, you definitely won't remember me!"
"You ungrateful little devil, anyone who helps you is a fool!"
The old man's voice grew even angrier.
"Oh—" Ye Ruan replied dejectedly, "If you're not willing to help me, then I'll go find someone else to help me! I'll hang up now."
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, you brat!" Upon hearing Ye Ruan say she was about to hang up, the person on the other end hurriedly called out, "Ahem, you brat, tell me first, what do you need me to do for you?"
A sly glint flashed in Ye Ruan's bright eyes, but she still said dejectedly, "You're not going to help me, so what's the point of me telling you? I'll just go find someone else to help me. I'm hanging up now!"
"Help, help, help! I'll help, okay?" the old man on the other end of the phone said urgently. "Tell me quickly, what do you need me to help you with?"
Ye Ruan smiled, her beautiful eyes crinkling into crescent moons. "It's nothing really, just that a friend of mine really loves your paintings and would like to ask you for one!"
After she finished speaking, the other party visibly choked for a moment. After a moment of silence, Old Qi said through gritted teeth, "You think you can ask someone else for this? Little girl, if you can ask someone else, go ask them now, go quickly!"
"You little rascal, you've really gotten clever lately, trying to outsmart this old man!"
Ye Ruan's smile became more ingratiating. "Grandpa Qi, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please, don't hold it against me. I really need one of your paintings. Please, please help me!"
Besides, you already promised me, you can't go back on your word!
"Ahem, old man, I mean what I say. If I promised to give you a painting, I definitely will."
But you have to tell me properly what kind of person your friend is.
"The person who can make a carefree girl like you care so much, could it be your boyfriend?" Old Qi's serious voice hid a hint of gossip.
Ye Ruan's ears turned slightly red, but she still honestly said, "It's not that he likes your paintings, it's that one of his business partners likes them. I wanted to help him, so I came to you for help."
"Oh, the little girl has grown up, she actually has a boyfriend now."
But your boyfriend, he needs your help to get the old man's painting to be given to someone else just to do business.
"Little girl, do you have bad eyesight? Is your boyfriend no good?" Old Qi said slowly.
Ye Ruan: ...
When Old Qi heard no sound on the other end of the phone, he continued, "Girl, where are you now? I need to meet your boyfriend and give him my opinion before deciding whether to give him the painting."
"I'm in Chongqing," Ye Ruan said honestly.
"That's perfect. I'm currently in Chengdu doing fieldwork. You can bring him along."
"I'll draw anyone I meet!" Old Qi's tone left no room for argument, not allowing Ye Ruan to refuse, and he hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Hearing the busy tone from her phone, Ye Ruan looked helpless. That old man…
