Shen Zui: “……”
After a while, he said calmly: ”It was set on a timer.”
Jiang Wanting suddenly understood. “Damn, how did I not think of something like a timer?”
Shen Zui placed the script on the bedside cabinet and turned his gaze to the girl leaning beside him.
Jiang Wanting gave a dry laugh, quickly picked up her pen, and continued: ”Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue.”
Shen Zui lowered his eyes to look at her. On the iPad was a sketch resembling a pencil line drawing. With just one glance, he could tell what she had drawn.
“Did you finish filming your advertisement? If you did, could you come with me to see an art exhibition tomorrow?” The girl tilted her head slightly upward, looking at him with a pair of moist, wide eyes.
Shen Zui lowered his eyelids, his voice somewhat low and hoarse. “Isn’t your brother going with you?”
“My brother said he suddenly has something to do and can’t go with me anymore. It’s so annoying. He must be secretly going on a date behind my back.” Jiang Wanting lied without even blinking.
Sorry, brother. For your sister’s lifelong happiness, you’ll have to sacrifice a little.
“Come on, please! It’s really beautiful. After seeing it, you can forget all your troubles.” Jiang Wanting’s voice was soft and sweet.
Shen Zui froze for a moment. She was acting coquettishly toward him?
“Look.” seeing that he did not respond, Jiang Wanting did not get discouraged. She adjusted the drawing on the iPad with her fingertips. “Does it look like us?”
A colored anime-style illustration appeared before Shen Zui. The man and woman in the drawing were leaning against a headboard.
The girl was holding a tablet in one hand and a pen in the other, smiling as she looked up at the boy. Her dark, bright eyes curved like crescent moons, indescribably adorable.
The boy, with a cropped haircut, held a book in his hand. His deep brown peach blossom eyes and the white bathrobe revealed a delicate and sensual collarbone. Seeing this, Shen Zui subconsciously lowered his head to glance at his own neck.
“A New Year’s gift. During exam week I was so busy I didn’t have time to prepare anything for you, and I didn’t know you would come back, so I didn’t prepare in advance. Just make do with it!” Jiang Wanting saved the image and sent it to Shen Zui on WeChat.
“Thank you!”
“I don’t want just verbal thanks. To show your gratitude, will you accompany me to the art exhibition tomorrow?” Jiang Wanting blinked her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Shen Zui slyly.
The girl slightly raised her head. Her obsidian-like almond eyes resembled a vast sea of stars. They were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.
As if possessed, Shen Zui nodded. “Alright.”
Jiang Wanting pressed her lips together and smiled. She had struck it big.
After seeing the exhibition tomorrow, they could go eat together. Would that count as a date? Thinking of this, Jiang Wanting felt that she would wake up smiling even in her dreams tonight.
Early the next morning, Jiang Wanting’s biological clock was precise. Shen Zui was already gone from beside her. She checked her phone and saw that Jiang Qi had sent her several WeChat messages and made two calls.
Jiang Wanting called back and told him the truth. Jiang Qi did not say much, but his tone changed instantly. After only a few words, he hung up on her.
More than ten minutes later, in the restaurant downstairs.
Nanny Rong watched the young couple eating breakfast with a smile on her face. The young master had finally come to his senses. The weather was nice today, and the snow had stopped. It was the perfect opportunity to nurture their relationship.
Shen Zui wore a long black coat and a gray knitted hat. To disguise himself, he also wore a mask and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Shen Zui was not nearsighted and rarely wore glasses unless required for work. With this outfit, aside from die-hard fans, others would not easily recognize him.
Xiaoran Art Gallery.
There were quite a lot of people. Upon entering, there was a landscape painting. It depicted green mountains facing each other on both sides, with a clear stream flowing gently. The scenery of the mountains in the rain carried a beauty that existed somewhere between presence and absence.
Jiang Wanting seemed to recall something and slightly raised her head. “Shen Zui, can you take photos?”
The man nodded lightly. In the next moment, a sudden thought arose in his mind.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanting took a camera out of her bag. “That’s great. I bought a camera just to take artistic photos. Can you help me take some?”
Shen Zui: “……”
Was he out of his mind? He had accompanied her to an art exhibition, and now he had to take photos for her as well. Was he really that idle?
Without waiting for his agreement, Jiang Wanting stuffed the camera into his hands and stood beside a painting, striking a pose. “Let’s take one with this ‘Gong Qing’ first.”
Shen Zui held the camera but did not press the shutter. The girl wore a white down jacket, a light yellow knitted hat, black tight pants, and short boots. Because she wanted to take photos, she had removed her mask, revealing a lightly made-up face.
“Is it ready?” Jiang Wanting had been holding her pose for a long time without hearing him say anything. Staying still like that was quite tiring.
Shen Zui blinked his deep peach blossom eyes. The next second, he pressed the shutter.
Most people who came to see the exhibition were there for the art, so no one noticed that Shen Zui was a celebrity. Jiang Wanting pulled Shen Zui around for a full tour. After they had seen enough, she took the camera back from him.
“I’ll take one for you!”
Shen Zui glanced at her. “You know how?”
“Don’t underestimate me, alright!” Jiang Wanting lowered her head, fiddling with the camera. “Taking photos is such a simple thing. Who doesn’t know how? Besides, you’re so handsome. What are you worried about?”
Shen Zui: “……”
Jiang Wanting pressed the shutter. “I think this painting really matches your temperament. It’s absolutely perfect.”
Shen Zui could not help but curl his lips slightly. His little fiancée was quite interesting. He asked her: ”What kind of temperament do I have?”
“It’s hard to explain in a short time. We’ve seen enough. Let’s go eat first.”
However, the two of them had no idea that they had already made it onto the trending searches, firmly occupying the top spot.

On the other side, Wang Shan kept calling Shen Zui, but none of the calls went through. She sighed and looked at her boss.
He Hongwen tapped the table twice with his index finger and said expressionlessly: ”No need to pay attention.”
