Chapter 206 [Irresistible Sweetness 005] Keep it up!
On the way back, thinking that Shu Tang was at home, I stopped by the supermarket and bought some more ingredients, snacks, fruits, and drinks, totaling three large bags.

He arrived home before 10 a.m., and because he had a lot of heavy things, he carried them in in two trips.

He went to the kitchen and put all the ingredients and drinks into the refrigerator. As for the snacks, he dragged over a shelf and arranged them neatly one by one.

Shu Tang hadn't gotten up yet. He had a meeting at 10:30, so he didn't want to delay any longer. He put the sandwiches he bought on a plate on the kitchen counter.

I sent her another WeChat message: "Heat the sandwich in the microwave, and remember to drink the milk hot too. I won't be back for lunch. I bought a lot of ingredients in the fridge, so you can make whatever you want to eat. The seasonings are in the second cabinet on the right. If you don't want to cook, just message me and I'll order takeout for you."

After explaining what had happened, he picked up his coat and drove away from home.

Shu Tang didn't wake up until almost 11 o'clock. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to reach for her phone. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the message from Xiao Guxing.

The first message was sent before 6:40; he actually left home so early.

The second message was sent two minutes before 10 o'clock.

It can be said that it covers every little detail.

A beautiful smile curved her lips. After getting up and washing up, she slowly went downstairs.

The entire villa was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

She went to the kitchen first, took a sip of warm water to moisten her mouth, and looked at the two sandwiches with different flavors on the plate. In a good mood, she put them in the microwave to heat up.

When I opened the refrigerator, it was packed full, yet perfectly organized.

Even the lower layers of frozen food and the sections specifically for seafood were arranged neatly.

Behind the living room sofa is a bookcase, and the books on it are neatly arranged.

Then look at that snack cart.

Wow, does this person have a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Around 11 o'clock, she ate two sandwiches and a glass of milk, and then showed off a mango before replying to Xiao Guxing: The sandwiches were delicious, the milk was good, the mango was sweet, and Shutang was very full.

It was followed by a cute 'bowing thank you' emoji.

A dozen seconds later, another message appeared: I'm skipping lunch.

Then another picture was sent, this time of the snack cart: Can I eat all the snacks in here?

Perhaps seeing that he hadn't replied, Shu Tang asked him a few minutes later: What time are you coming back tonight? Are you coming back for dinner, or are you eating out?

Xiao Guxing's meeting didn't end until 12:30.

After leaving the meeting room, I gave my assistant a few instructions and headed to the cafeteria, checking my phone as I went.

He was shocked to see that Shu Tang had 15 WeChat messages in one chat box.

Thinking something had happened, I quickly clicked to check.

Looking up from the bottom, it's all just trivial matters.

Just five minutes ago I was asking him: Can I use your oven? But it seems like we don't have anything I need at home, so never mind.

It's clear that she's really bored being home alone.

Just from these messages, you can tell how noisy they must have been if she had been whispering them in your ear, not sending them as text messages.

However, Xiao Guxing patiently answered all her questions.

They were all concise and to the point, each reply consisting of only three short sentences.

Shu Tang could sense a certain politeness, indifference, and patience from these words.

Shu Tang was good at comforting herself. It was okay, as long as there was a response, that was enough. As for the rest, she would try her best.

Xiao Guxing usually gets off work around 4 p.m., but he didn't have any social engagements tonight, so he got home at 4:30 p.m.

When he entered the living room, Shu Tang was painting on her easel. She had a habit of carrying her easel with her, and whenever she went on a trip, she would paint it as a way to gather inspiration. If she was in a good mood or felt that the scenery was worth recording, she would paint it.

She was in a pretty good mood today, and being bored, she felt that drawing on the tablet wasn't enough, so she went upstairs and took all the flower petals, paints, and brushes from her suitcase.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice when Xiao Guxing returned.

Xiao Gu walked up behind her and watched her color the painting. Every stroke was smooth and careful.

Shu Tang's hands are beautiful, slender and long, white, and plump.

Just like her round face.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Shu Tang, as if she were changing paint, turned her head and caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye. When she looked directly at the figure, she was startled. "Hey, when did you get back? I didn't even hear the car."

"I've been back for a while." Xiao Guxing smiled as he looked at the painting. "What kind of flower is this?"

Not very common.

But because her painting is so good and so realistic, it gives off a sense of worldly riches and luxury.

The colors are blue and white, a gradient, with a hint of pink at the tips.

"It's a type of chrysanthemum called the Blue and White Porcelain Peony Chrysanthemum," Shu Tang asked with a smile. "Is it pretty?"

Xiao Guxing nodded generously in praise, "Yes, it's beautiful. You drew it well."

When Shu Tang received the praise, she was like a child who had been blessed, and her two little dimples appeared on her face.

She picked up a paint palette again and continued painting, asking as she did so, "I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now: did you used to hang any paintings or decorations on that white wall at the end of the second-floor corridor?"

"No, it's empty."

"Won't it feel... empty?" She tilted her head up. "I think the relief painting on that wall would look really nice, and... this wall too. The surrounding decorations are very full, but the cool spot feels a bit out of place."

Xiao Guxing laughed and said, "When we were decorating, the designer also mentioned that I should put up paintings in these two places, or find someone to paint two murals, but I was too busy later and forgot about it."

"Oh, okay." Shu Tang said thoughtfully, "Do you want me to draw it? I can draw it for you."

Fearing he might not know, Shu Tang turned to the side and formally introduced herself, "I graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. One of my paintings was selected for the Seymour Art Auction and ultimately sold for 500,000 francs."

That's roughly equivalent to four million one hundred thousand RMB.

"Two years ago, I painted three paintings for the wife of Norsky, who was ranked fifth on the Paris rich list: a portrait, a landscape, and a relief. The total fee was 650,000 francs."

From this perspective, even without relying on her family, she is actually quite wealthy.

Shu Tang became more and more smug as she spoke, raising her chin with an air of pride, "Moreover, nowadays, the starting price for me to paint a relief sculpture is at least 60,000."

Seeing her little expression, Xiao Guxing couldn't help but laugh, and then asked curiously, "Is it based on the size and difficulty of the painting?"

Shu Tang nodded, "Yes, everyone's requirements are different, so the things they draw are also different."

"Oh, so if you were to paint reliefs on these two walls for me, how much would you charge?"

What do you want to draw?

“Whatever you think matches the decor of this house, just paint it.” He gestured with his chin. “This flower looks pretty good.”

Watch as our little melon slowly seeps into Senior Xiao's life, becoming ubiquitous. It's almost the end of the month, and it's time for me to beg for votes again, my darlings, please vote!
