Forced to Date a Big Shot Chapter 119 - Different

Chapter 119: Different

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Moguls’ Group hadn’t been active for a few days, so after this person asked, everyone bubbled.

Teaches Math: “Never heard of them.”

Cen Bai: “You’re disturbing my sleep early in the morning.”

Painter: “Can’t you just mute it?”

Cen Bai: “I have set up a special notification for this group. What if Brother has something to inform us about and I don’t see it in time?”

Everyone else was cursing in their hearts, but no one dared to say this in the group. Instead—

Painter: “Me too.”

Cooking: “+1”

The Seller: “+2”

…

Pianist: “+ ID number”

Pianist: “Who is this person? Haven’t you heard of him? Is he very famous? @Painter.”

Painter: “This person made a lot of creations 18 years ago, but they were still young at that time. Later, I heard that they married into a wealthy family, so not many people know about them.”

Cen Bai: “Then why are you looking for that person?”

Painter: “Drawing.”

Cen Bai: “? You are a famous artist yourself. Are you looking for someone else to draw for you?”

Painter: “Come, let me give you a lesson. The subject of national art is divided into three categories: landscapes, figures, and birds-and-flowers. I am a painter, but I am not good at painting mountains and rivers.”

Painter: “I have accepted an ancient-style game project. I have to create the images, but I also need a landscape painter to do the background. In recent years, the well-known people in the field have either become too old to take on this job or are too shallow to match up to my characters.”

Painter: “I’ve thought about it for a long time. Only Ye Li from 18 years ago was able to catch my eye. That person’s landscape paintings have truly reached a master’s status, and the intelligence in them is evident. I really like that painter!”

Teaches Math: “You are a famous artist from the current generation, the president of the Chinese Art a.s.sociation, and the president of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts. You must have the most connections in the Chinese painting industry, right? If you can’t find that person, how can we?”

Painter: “Sigh. Back then, Ye Li partic.i.p.ated in the National Exhibition under a pen name and made a name this way. At that time, I was just a small-time artist like them. I couldn’t find the real person at all back then, and I still have no success now. That person might have changed their pen name. Anyway, such a person wouldn’t be nameless. I’ve already cast my net wide within my circle, and every one of you also has a wide network of connections. If there’s any news, contact me in time and I’ll reward you handsomely.”

Teaches Math: “No problem.”

Pianist: “Okay.”

…

Everyone replied one by one. Xue Xi thought about it. She did not know anything about painting, but Ye Li did, and she might have some clues, so she also replied.

Learning: “Okay.”

She put down her phone and took out her English vocabulary book as usual. These were all professional words in the field of physics. They were long and hard to remember, but she was very good at memorizing them. “The absolute acceleration will definitely increase the speed.”

She had finished her university courses in the orphanage.

However, after going to her maternal grandmother’s house, she realized that what she’d learned was only superficial.

Her maternal grandparents were both university professors. Whenever she accompanied Ye Li back on the weekends to visit, she’d bring back quite a number of relevant books and planned to study them deeper.

Xue Sheng said that he would bring them over to stay. Her grandmother was still not here because she had to pack up. But based on the time, her grandmother should be arriving tonight.

Thinking of the books her grandmother would bring, Xue Xi was filled with antic.i.p.ation.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the provision store.

Xue Xi took her breakfast as she alighted and entered the provision store.

As usual, Canine Teeth took the breakfast and placed it on the dining table. Xiang Huai then stood up from behind the counter and walked over.

Xue Xi looked at Canine Teeth and then at the man. In what way did these two look like former colleagues?

However, Xiang Huai’s aura made it easy for people to subconsciously submit to him.

The three sat down and Xue Xi looked at Lu Chao from time to time. She could not help but ask, “You’ve been here for two months. Aren’t you busy?”

Just as Lu Chao was about to reply, Xiang Huai’s pleasant voice sounded. “He’ll be leaving in a while.”

Lu Chao: “??” Why didn’t I know that I was leaving?

The corners of his lips twitched and he corroborated, “Yes, I actually came to Bin City to investigate. It’s time to go back.”

Wuwuwu, Boss has really gone over to the other side. He must find me to be a hindrance!

After breakfast, Xiang Huai leaned back lazily and placed his hand on the table, waiting for the kid to hold hands with him. However, after waiting for a while, he still did not see it. He looked up in confusion and saw the girl sitting there, staring at his lips.

Xue Xi did not know what was wrong. After he kissed her yesterday, she should have been very angry when she saw this man today, but she did not. Now, she strangely felt that even holding hands was a little embarra.s.sing?

While she was in a dilemma, she saw the man looking at her. She panicked and hurriedly grabbed his hand.

In the past, this hand was just a tool to her.

However, today, she realized that the man’s hands were very good-looking. They were slender and well-defined. There were calluses on his fingers, which did not affect their beauty. Instead, they gave off a strong feeling.

His palms were warm, and the vigorous temperature seemed to be burning her skin.

Every time he held her hand, he would not be obedient and would hook his fingers on her palm when she was not paying attention. However, when he pulled her over today, Xue Xi released him as though she had been electrocuted. She only felt her palms turn numb.

What was amazing was, despite how she usually needed to hold that hand for ten minutes, it actually did not hurt when she avoided it today.

Xue Xi hurriedly stood up and walked out with her bag. “I’ll go to school now.”

Xiang Huai stared at her retreating back as she left the provision store and headed for school. Why did it feel like the little kid was a little different today?

Walking out of the provision store, Xue Xi could still feel the heat on her cheeks. She took a few deep breaths, then silently recited “List.” “The long period of peace is used to cover one’s tears. It’s so sad for the people…”

Indeed, after a moment of silence, her heart rate returned to normal.

It was impossible to calm down after studying!

In the provision store.

Lu Chao stared at Xiang Huai like an abandoned wife. “Boss, are you really going to let me go?”

Xiang Huai remained expressionless. “Yes.”

Lu Chao: “If I’m leaving, how are you going to eat?”

Xiang Huai’s tone carried a hint of flaunting. “I can go to the little kid’s house for a free meal.”

“…” Lu Chao held it in but finally said, “Not to hurt you or anything, but would Sister Xi let you go?”

“Father-in-law will.”

Xiang Huai picked up his phone, found Xue Sheng’s WeChat, and sent him a message: “Uncle, I have a question for you.”

Lu Chao: “…”

He had not even caught his girlfriend and he was already calling the man Father-in-law?!

…

Xue family.

Just as Ye Li and Xue Sheng were having breakfast, her phone rang. She picked up the call and heard Xu Fang’s voice. “Ye Li, I heard that you’ve started painting again? In which art studio are you selling now? You don’t have any fame now, so can you still sell your work?”
