n

nBefore 10 a.m, the guests they invited had all arrived.

n

nElder Dou and Elder Bai presided over the opening ceremony together and they both gave some words of blessing.

n

nAfter the ceremony, everyone spread themselves out and enjoyed the paintings.

n

nWhen they saw that each painting had a special background and that the walls could move, everyone was shocked.

n

n“To think that even an art gallery can be designed to be so high-tech!”

n

n“It’s too shocking. I feel that every painting has been hung at its most appropriate position.”

n

n“This is exactly how I felt while I completed this painting. The surroundings should have this type of background. It’s perfect!”

n

n“Yiyi has actually displayed 10 of her own paintings for the exhibition? When did this lazy girl become so diligent?”

n

n“I really want to take Little Zi’s painting back home. She is too talented in this aspect. Every painting of hers makes it hard for me to move on to the next one!”

n

n“Little Dou’s paintings are also very spiritual. Her skills have far surpassed her peers.”

n

n…

n

nEveryone was immersed in the paintings.

n

nEven Lu Yunxiao was also standing in front of a painting and looking at it carefully.

n

nJust then, someone approached him from the side.

n

nHe originally paid no attention to them, but the person asked, “Do you like this painting too?”

n

nLu Yunxiao glanced at her expressionlessly and continued looking at the painting without the slightest fluctuation in his expression.

n

nGu Xin nearly froze on the spot due to Lu Yunxiao’s gaze. Her heartbeat had also quickened unconsciously. She bit her lips and controlled her nervousness as she said, “Elder Bai’s paintings are mainly grandiose and he…”

n

nThe woman next to him continued chattering and Lu Yunxiao never once gave her a response.

n

nGu Xin comforted herself by thinking, “He hasn’t left and so he must be listening to me. It’s just that his personality is a little cold.”

n

nAt the thought of that, she continued to talk.

n

nMrs. Lu, who was standing a distance away, originally planned to look for Zi Yi, but after turning around, she saw a lady standing next to her youngest son.

n

nThe young lady was looking at her youngest son with a gaze that revealed her adoration for Lu Yunxiao.

n

nAt the sight of that, Mrs. Lu was delighted.

n

nJust then, Zi Yi happened to come over from the other side.

n

nMrs. Lu pointed at Lu Yunxiao and there was undisguised excitement in her eyes. “Yiyi, do you think Yunxiao and that young lady over there have a chance?”

n

nZi Yi tilted her head and just so happened to see the young lady standing next to Lu Yunxiao pointing at the painting in front of them and chattering on.

n

nLu Yunxiao had his back facing them. His back was straight and the cold aura he radiated did not diminish even by the slightest. Without even a need to think, she knew that he was currently expressionless right now.

n

nZi Yi guessed that Yunxiao was definitely not listening to what the young lady was saying.

n

nHowever, she could not bear to disappoint Mrs. Lu and so she said, “Yunxiao doesn’t seem like someone who would fall in love at first sight. If that young lady is nice, they can try to get in touch more.”

n

nHow could Mrs. Lu not know her son’s personality? Even though she was disappointed, she still nodded in agreement. “This young lady seems to be the granddaughter of Master Gu. She’s educated and knowledgeable. Most importantly, she can take Yunxiao’s indifferent attitude and stand together with him for such a long period of time.”

n

nFor Mrs. Lu, the main point was the latter part of her sentence.

n

nZi Yi nodded her head. “It would be nice if Yunxiao likes her too.”

n

nHaving said that, she held Mrs. Lu’s arm and said, “Mom, nothing is set in stone, so don’t be in such a hurry. Let nature take its course.”

n

nAfter she said that, she dragged Mrs. Lu elsewhere.

n

n“How can I not be anxious? That kid makes me worry the most. If no ladies take the initiative to talk to him, he certainly won’t talk to any of them. It’s easy for someone with his personality to be single for their whole life.”

n

nThe moment Zi Yi saw Mrs. Lu looking worried, she purposely said, “Mom, what if Yunxiao doesn’t like women and likes men instead?”

n

nMrs. Lu stiffened for a second and she actually started to consider this matter.

n

nAfter considering for some time, she subconsciously turned to look at Lu Yunxiao.

n

nHer face turned dark at the sight of him.

n

nLu Yunxiao had walked away and Gu Xin who was standing there looked as if she had received a huge setback.

n

nMrs. Lu gnashed her teeth. “How can this child’s EQ be so low? He didn’t even give any face to that young lady!”

n

nZi Yi also tilted her head and took a glance. It just so happened that she saw Gu Xin refusing to give up.

n

nMrs. Lu said in a faint tone, “If this child can really fall in love with someone, I’ll accept it even if the other party is a man. But even so, with his EQ, he may not know how to show his feelings even if he does like someone.”

n

nZi Yi remained silent.

n

nGu Xin looked at the man who walked away without any warning and received a huge setback.

n

nHowever, she was unwilling to give up. When she saw Lu Yunxiao heading towards the rooftop, she followed him from behind.

n

nLu Yunxiao did not like it when someone continuously talked next to him. If not for the fact that the young lady earlier was his sister-in-law’s guest, he would have left right away. He had already reached his limit by standing there for so long.

n

nEveryone was currently admiring the paintings and there were not many people on the balcony outside.

n

nThere were many precious potted plants placed around the balcony and also tables and chairs for resting.

n

nLu Yunxiao did not sit down. Instead, he walked to one of the potted plants, stood there, and took out his phone to check the reports from his subordinates. He did not manage to look through them for long, when he then heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

n

nLu Yunxiao did not even bother to look up.

n

nGu Xin took a deep breath and gathered up her courage to walk up to him and asked, “Lu Yunxiao, can we add each other on WeChat?”

n

nLu Yunxiao tilted his head and looked at her expressionlessly.

n

nGu Xin had stood next to Lu Yunxiao for some time earlier and her gaze was mostly on the painting. What’s more, they were standing side by side and she did not get to see Lu Yunxiao’s eyes.

n

nNow that they had made eye contact, Gu Xin was frozen by that chilly gaze of his.

n

nHer mind suddenly thought of something and she said, “You…”

n

nShe only managed to get a single word out and then she did not know what else to say.

n

nThe atmosphere became somewhat awkward for no reason.

n

nJust then, Lu Yunxiao said, “Sorry, I don’t have WeChat.”

n

nGu Xin had actually breathed a sigh of relief at his response.

n

nShe held her phone tightly and said, “Even if you don’t have WeChat, you must have other communication apps. What apps do you use? I can download them.”

n

nLu Yunxiao looked at her with a straight face and thought, “Why does this woman insist on asking for my contact details? Could she be sent by someone?”

n

nAt the thought of this, he unconsciously released the chilly aura he had restrained.

n

nGu Xin’s hand trembled and her phone nearly dropped to the ground.

n

nSo cold!

n

nBut he’s so cool!

n

nWhat should she do now that she likes him even more?

n

nLu Yunxiao thought that the woman in front of him would retreat while cowering. However, in the next second, she flipped her hair and revealed a gentle smile. “If you really don’t use any communication apps, tell me your contact number.”

n

nSpeaking of this, she paused for a moment and said in a tone of voice as though she had made up her mind, “I’ve fallen for you and I want to chase you.”

n

n…

n

nThe whole space seemed to have been blocked. The surroundings were so silent as though the air itself was about to freeze.

n

nGu Xin was so nervous that her heart almost leaped out of her mouth. She finally couldn’t take Lu Yunxiao’s expressionless face and shifted her gaze away. “You should be unaccustomed to people confessing to you, but I’ve really fallen for you. I’ll give you some time to think about it. You can tell me your answer later.”

n

nLu Yunxiao opened his mouth.
