Chapter 910 Peach Blossom Demon Does Not Want to Sacrifice Herself for Others (7)
Duan Jiuwei got Tao Shichu's contact information as he wished. Although he was disappointed that his charm could not impress her, he did not feel discouraged. After all, he knew that such a stunning beauty would not easily let go of her heart to anyone.
"Are you serious? I've never seen you be so proactive towards any woman." At the end of the banquet, Mu Tinghai drove Duan Jiuwei home and couldn't help asking.
Duan Jiuwei's beautiful phoenix eyes glanced at Mu Tinghai calmly and said, "That's because she perfectly matches my aesthetic. As you said, she is my soul muse and has given me a lot of creative inspiration. For a woman who makes my heart beat, I don't mind taking the initiative."
"How long can you keep this feeling? I warn you, don't be too bad. Tao Shichu is the second female lead with a lot of roles in my drama. If you abandon her and affect her filming, I will not forgive you." Mu Tinghai knew that his brother was a heartless man. The passion of an artist always comes and goes quickly.
Duan Jiuwei raised his eyebrows at Mu Tinghai, and generously gave him a charming smile, saying, "Brother, you really have confidence in me. Didn't you see that the beauty was very cold to me tonight? Do you really believe that I can win her over?"
“Humph, even though you’re a scumbag, I never deny your charm.” Mu Tinghai snorted coldly.
"Then why did you introduce her to me? Tsk tsk, you are also a scumbag." Duan Jiuwei laughed, "You are a scumbag who helps the tyrant to commit atrocities."
Mu Tinghai sighed and said, "Alas, you asked me to help my relatives but not me. You are my brother after all."
This scumbag brother and sister said these words lightly, as if Tao Shichu could not escape from Duan Jiuwei's control.
Tao Shichu had no idea that she had been targeted. Before joining the crew of "Stable Mountains and Rivers", she shot a magazine cover and a lipstick advertisement. After that, she took a vacation to concentrate on studying the script and prepare to join "Stable Mountains and Rivers". After all, she would have a lot of roles after joining the crew, and she would have no free time by then.
Mu Tinghai went to Duan Jiuwei's house to go racing. These two guys who were in cahoots with each other lived in the same villa complex and were neighbors, so it was very convenient for them to get to know each other.
Mu Tinghai felt as comfortable as if he were at home when he arrived at Duan Jiuwei's house. After the servant told him that Duan Jiuwei was in the studio, he went straight to the studio.
"Good guy! I knew that you must be doing something bad because you stay at home and don't go out." Mu Tinghai sighed when he saw the portrait in front of Duan Jiuwei.
"Shut up!" Duan Jiuwei, who was concentrating on painting, said this and continued to concentrate on his creation.
The one he painted was Tao Shichu at the dinner party that day. She was wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam with a stand-up collar. She was graceful and elegant, like a jade statue of a beauty, otherworldly and with an air of immortality.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that you are not an artist in vain. You can draw such a likeness of a person just by meeting him once." Mu Tinghai sighed, "You can sell paintings for millions of dollars abroad. It turns out that you are not a liar. You have some real talent."
Duan Jiuwei finally used a paintbrush to touch up the color of Tao Shichu's cheongsam before finishing this creation.
He admired his work but didn't seem very satisfied. He said, "It's a pity that Tao Shichu refused to be my model. After all, I'm not familiar with her enough, so there are some parts that I can't paint perfectly."
"I think this is perfect, just like Tao Shichu's photo, amazing." Although Mu Tinghai has the painter and sculptor Duan Jiuwei as his friend, he actually has no talent for art appreciation. When judging whether a painting is good or not, he only looks at whether it looks like the original and whether it looks good.
So when he said that, Duan Jiuwei said with disgust: "Shut up, listening to your comments, I feel like you have tarnished my painting."
Mu Tinghai said unconvincedly: "How did I defile your painting? Was I wrong? The oil portrait of Tao Shichu you painted is indeed similar to her photo."
"Don't say you're my brother when you go out. It's embarrassing." Duan Jiuwei looked at him with disdain and said, "You've been with me for so long but haven't been able to cultivate any artistic taste in you. I'm ashamed of you."
"Hey! Duan Jiuwei, do you understand that everyone has their own expertise? I'm not an artist, so why do I have to understand your art?" Mu Tinghai was very indignant.
Duan Jiuwei ignored his protest. He stared at his painting and suddenly asked Mu Tinghai, "Tell me, if I give this painting to Tao Shichu, how will she react?"
"Surprised? Touched? Happy?" Mu Tinghai imagined the expressions of his former girlfriends when they received gifts, and answered tentatively, "Knowing that you drew a picture for her, maybe she will be moved and pledge her love to you?"
"I hope so." Duan Jiuwei stroked his firm and perfect chin and said with narrowed eyes.
"By the way, has your crew started work? I'll go visit them." Duan Jiuwei said seriously.
Mu Tinghai sighed and said, "I knew you had other intentions. Visiting the set? You mean to visit Tao Shichu?"
"Since you know it, don't say it out loud." Duan Jiuwei was not ashamed at all. "Okay, you quickly arrange a time. I can't wait to give this gift to Tao Shichu."
So, Tao Shichu, who had just joined the crew and was immersed in filming, met Mu Tinghai and Duan Jiuwei who came to the set during a break in filming one day.
Mu Tinghai was the investor of this drama. When he arrived, he was naturally surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars. While he was attracting everyone's attention, Duan Jiuwei took his painting and quietly walked in front of Tao Shichu.
"Miss Tao, we meet again. I came here specially to see you this time." Duan Jiuwei said frankly and directly, "I have a gift for you."
He took out the scroll of the painting, but Tao Shichu did not take it. Instead, he shook his head and said, "How can I accept a gift from Mr. Duan? I heard that Mr. Duan is an artist. I think your paintings are very valuable and precious. We have only met once. It is not worth it for you to give me such a precious gift. I feel ashamed to accept it."
Duan Jiuwei knew that she would not accept the gift so easily, otherwise he would not have gone to so much trouble to pursue her, so he opened the painting.
When Tao Shichu saw herself in the painting, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. She could see that the painting was indeed very well done, with flexible and varied brushstrokes, and it was full of emotion, especially the eyes of the person in the painting. The light in her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Her eyes were sharp, yet indifferent, as if she was detached from the world, with a kind of indifference to watching the world. Such eyes instantly enhanced the temperament of the beauty in the painting a lot. The so-called finishing touch was nothing more than this. Duan Jiuwei saw Tao Shichu's true heart.
So she finally faced this man, it seemed that he was not just an ordinary man who was bewitched by her beautiful appearance.
