Chapter 222 – His love is for real. (1)
“Instructor Gu, please start with the basics.”
Luo Zheng bowed slightly.
“In addition, thank you for the painting that you have gifted me. If the Luo’s ever rebuilt itself, I will definition repay you handsomely for the painting.”
Li Yiru eyes almost rolled out of her socket when she heard that.
Did he know that the man behind Gu Shishi might very well be the root of the Luo’s troubles?!
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was nonchalant as usual, like there was nothing wrong about what he had just said.
“That works. C’mon in then.
“You have 19 more sections. Remember to book your time with the front desk in the future.
“We don’t always have openings every day.”
“Okay,” replied Luo Zheng seriously.
One doesn’t only work on one’s brushstroke when it comes to ink painting; one also work on one’s temperament.
In order to paint a good painting, one must be able to maintain a clear and calm mind.
Luo Zheng had finally understood how right his old teacher was when he said he was too ambitious for his own good.
And, when one is not calm, one will not be able to achieve anything.
And, just like that, Gu Shishi brought Luo Zheng with her into the studio under the stare of the dumbfounded Li Yiru.
Should she sign up for some sessions as well?
That was the idea that went through Li Yiru’s mind when she saw the two of them walked inside of the studio.
Inside of the studio, Zhao Xian, who had just struggled to finish her 10-student class, walked out to get a sip of water and ran into her boyfriend.
“How come you are here, darling?”
She quickly went over to him like a colorful butterfly.
“I thought you are very busy lately. You came to pick me up?”
As she was talking, she casted a complacent look over at Gu Shishi.
That “fiancé” of Gu Shishi had never showed up again after that one time.
She must have already fallen out of his favor!
Thinking of that, Zhao Xian walked over to Luo Zheng, held onto his arms, rocked it a couple of times and said, “You can tell me ahead of time next time. I’ll just go and wait for your in the underground garage.”
That complacent look on her face did not last for very long. It was gone in less than half a minute.
“Don’t touch me!”
Luo Zheng’s face turned dark.
Today, he was focused on practicing his center strokes.
Being shaken by Zhao Xian made his stroke crooked.
He frowned.
And his temper rose.
He took a look at the nonchalant Gu Shishi sitting on one side and tried to contain himself. He lowered his voice.
Calm.
He needs to remain calm.
“Miss Zhao, I am in class right now.
“You are an instructor here. You shouldn’t be have physical contacts with your student,” said Luo Zheng as calmly as possible.
That, nevertheless, turned into the vilest words in Zhao Xian’s ears!
“What did you say, Luo Zheng?
“Are you messing with me?”
Zhao Xian turned a bit pale but tried to contain herself.
Luo Zheng took a deep breath and said, “I am in class so I don’t want to dive into the details. But... the two of us are over, Zhao Xian.”
That ridiculous lifestyle of his was over.
Shock and shame flashed passed Zhao Xian’s face.
Looking at Gu Shishi sitting to one side, Zhao Xian almost lost her footing. “Luo Zheng, let’s talk this out properly. Shall we go to the break room?”
Luo Zheng frowned.
“There’s nothing to talk out.
“The Luo’s wealth and the position of a Young Madam that you were after were all gone.
“The Luo’s had lost a lot of our shares in the company. In fact, we have been acquired by an overseas company and the Luo’s are no longer part of the executives.
“Zhao Xian, I can’t afford to buy you designer brands anymore.”
Those were not words that he would ever say before.
It hurt his male’s ego.
Yet, right now, with the paintbrush in his hand, he felt very peaceful inside.
As though this was nothing more than stating a fact.
“So we can break up amicably and you can go look for someone else.”
Zhao Xian was only with him for material goods.
He had known that all along.
And, that was why he had picked her as well.
Gu Wushuang was the one he liked back then. He only wanted to be with someone to distract himself.
But it was time for him to wake up.
