Chapter 57: He wanted her to sleep…. With…. Him?! (5)

When his breath hit Gu Shishi on her face, she couldn’t help but paused for a second.

She was just about to frown when she caught sight of the painting that he had thrusted in front of her.

What a painting of a fiery peony!

The bright red color was intense, dazzling, and every petal was eye catching!

Even though it was a painting with watercolor, it has a hint of Chinese ink painting’s majesty within it.

She couldn’t help but give the fool in front of her another look.

She wasn’t sure why he skipped over Zhao Xian to ask her; nor did she know why the fool had to corner her for that…

And he was so close… and breathed on her…

But, she acknowledged his painting nonetheless.

“Pretty good.”

As a paying instructor of the art studio, Gu Shishi would dish out praises when they were called for.

Just in case she didn’t get her point across verbally, she even nodded to emphasize her point.

“Your skill level exceeded that of Zhao Xian, your instructor. Your choice of colors are bold and the artistic conception is quite good as well.”

She even used a comparison to show how much she acknowledge his ability.

“What did you just say?”

Her words, however, almost made Zhao Xian spit out blood.

Was she insulting her right in front of her own boyfriend and all the students and instructors of the art studio?!

Gu Shishi gave her an oops-I-accidentally-slipped-and-told-the-truth look, which made Zhao Xian even more livid.

She was just about to argue with her but the very next minute, her face was shocked pale by Luo Zheng’s laugh.

Luo Zheng was very pleased by Gu Shishi’s remark and wasn’t concerned about Zhao Xian’s feeling at all.

“Miss Gu, you’ve got good eyes.”

He had no respect for this little art studio at all!

They were but a bunch of half-assed, mass trained technicians.

He himself, on the other hand, had been learning from a master-level artist since he was a child.

“You are exactly right; my painting skill is superior.”

“Then, Miss Gu. Anything else you would like to point out about my painting?”

Luo Zheng acted like nobody else was there and looked deeply at Gu Shishi.

His tone rose up toward the end, sounding very flirty.

Zhao Xian’s entire body was shaking.

She was his girlfriend!

Was he hitting on another woman right in front of her? And using the exact same trick no less?!

How many women had he courted using the exact same trick?!

Even though she knew his intention behind hitting on Gu Shishi, she was still livid.

She had to grip her fingers to not say anything.

But she stared at Gu Shishi lethally.

Gu Shishi, on the other hand, took another look at the painting.

There was no emotions or shyness in her look. In fact, really repulsed, she took a small step backward.

“I wouldn’t say opinion.”

Luo Zheng was offended by her taking a step backward.

But what she said next made his face drop even more!

“Your foundations are still lacking. So, as much as you an artistic conception, your paintbrush wasn’t able to fully express that. There is still room for improvement. But no worries, it’s still pretty when you hang it up. Just don’t look too closely.”

As she was talking, Gu Shishi gestured at a farther wall inside the art studio.

“Frame it, and hang it up on the wall.”

A shock flashed past Luo Zheng’s eyes which was quickly replaced with anger.

With a loud “BANG!”, his watch smacked the corner of the table.

A very disruptive sound was made.

When he looked over at the wall she was pointing at, his face darkened even more.

Gu Shishi was pointing at the wall that was farthest away from them, at least 6-7 meters away.

Was she suggesting that his painting was so bad it shouldn’t even be looked at?

Huang Zhong, his painting master, said the exact same thing about him back in the days.

At the time, he had been infuriated by his words and ripped the painting up on the spot!

He never went back to his lessons with Huang Zhong again!
