Chapter 170 Buying a Painting from Fu Linzhou
Fu Linzhou's study is built in a very Chinese style.
The black wood, whose species cannot be identified, has a fine gilded gleam under the soft and warm light, like the scent of flowers that have seeped in after the wood has aged.
Very quiet and focused.
Fu Linzhou was wearing black silk pajamas. His hair was not combed back as usual, but hung down softly, making him look a bit youthful.
As big as her.
Lu Zhi felt that Fu Linzhou was much easier to talk to.
She walked over with the cake and put it on the desk: "I've brought you something delicious."
On Fu Linzhou's desk, the computer was not turned on. There was only a book and freshly brewed tea next to it.
The clear white bone china teacup has no patterns on it, and it holds tea in a warm and low-key manner, with a lustrous tea color.
His hands rested lazily on the teacup, slender and white like a work of art.
The hand proportions are even more slender and perfect than those of the male protagonists in the two-dimensional world, with distinct bony joints.
In the reflection of the black wooden table, there is an inexplicable feeling of ice-like skin and jade-like bones.
Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away.
Fu Linzhou took a look at the beautiful and exquisite snacks: "For me?"
Lu Zhi nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, do you like it if you try it?"
Fu Linzhou curled his lips and said, "Sending food here so late at night is a gift without merit."
Lu Zhi felt a little guilty: "Well, since I brought it here specially, you can try it."
Fu Linzhou glanced at her and asked, "Did you do this?"
Lu Zhi wanted to admit it, but her cooking skills were only good enough to make a living: "My brother made it."
She then realized that Fu Xiaozhou was Fu Linzhou's subordinate and added, "That's Fu Xiaozhou."
Fu Linzhou didn't respond. His slender fingers rested on the edge of the teacup, tapping it intermittently.
Lu Zhi only felt his heart beating along with the crisp sound of him knocking on the teacup.
The study was exceptionally quiet. Apart from the unique scent emanating from the wooden furniture, there was only the delicate aroma of tea, which covered up the very faint ambergris on his body.
Lu Zhi's eyes glanced at him uncontrollably.
This was the first time she saw the straight-haired version of Fu Linzhou.
He must have just finished taking a shower and was about to rest.
The black silk pajamas he wore made his skin look even whiter.
Lu Zhi had never seen a man as white as him, but not at all feminine.
Instead, he gave people an inexplicable feeling of being sacred and inviolable, as if his whole body was glowing.
Perhaps this is God's natural aura.
Lu Zhi thought so.
If she were still single now, she would have been madly in love with Fu Linzhou.
She couldn't help but sigh and thank Gu Qiancheng for appearing and saving her life.
However, it is not a good idea for a man and a woman to be alone in a room at night.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak first: "Mr. Fu, I actually want to ask you for a small favor."
She didn't dare look at the other person, and couldn't help biting her lips when she was nervous.
A very light chuckle came from above my head: "I knew that if nothing happened, you wouldn't remember to look for me."
He lowered his eyes and fixed them on the little girl's drooping brows.
He had always known that she was extremely beautiful.
Especially when she lowered her eyebrows, she looked as docile and well-behaved as a little cub that grew up deep in the forest under the protection of the forest, ignorant of the world. All the beautiful words and halos were gathered on her.
The naturally rosy corners of her eyes make her look innocent when she looks at people, but when she lowers her eyes and doesn't look at people, she reveals a sense of grievance, making people want to take out their hearts and give them to her.
Only he knows what kind of restless and uneasy personality is hidden under this gentle and well-behaved appearance.
If you are not careful, you will be abducted by other men.
Feeling the gaze above his head getting colder, Lu Zhi felt more guilty.
Fu Linzhou's voice was gentle and low, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhi inexplicably felt like he was being pampered.
She quickly suppressed these inappropriate feelings and thoughts and regained her rationality: "I heard from the little brat... Fu Xiaozhou that you have a lot of plum blossom paintings by Old Madam Fu, and I want to buy one from you."
"Is that so..." Fu Linzhou's voice was long and faint, as if he was thinking, but also seemed absent-minded.
Lu Zhi was a little anxious, and the crimson color at the corners of her eyes deepened. "I really need this, I need it tomorrow! So... can you sell it to me now?"
Fu Linzhou looked at her: "What are you going to use it for?"
When their eyes met, Lu Zhi was suddenly stunned.
Fu Linzhou calmly withdrew his gaze, clasped the teacup with two fingers, and took a sip before saying, "Old Madam Fu is my grandmother. I have to ask you what you want to do with her paintings."
Lu Zhi was still immersed in the eye contact just now.
Is she in too many relationships?
I always feel that when Fu Linzhou looks at her, his eyes are very similar to the way Gu Qiancheng usually looks at her.
Even softer and more intimate.
It feels like...
It seemed as if he was going to come over and kiss her at any time.
Lu Zhi was shocked by his own thoughts and his face suddenly turned red.
She was sitting there so demurely and gently, what was she fantasizing about?!
Lu Zhi touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I won't use it for anything else. I just want to give it to an elder as a birthday present. He really likes Madam Fu's paintings."
Fu Linzhou thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to pay?"
Lu Zhi was stunned. She had never checked this before.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is it okay to pay according to the market price?"
She looked up and looked at the other person expectantly.
But Fu Linzhou's aura was too strong.
Even though he tried to restrain himself, in this enclosed space where they were alone, the corners of her rosy eyes still unconsciously revealed a bit of youthful timidity, which made her particularly endearing.
Fu Linzhou sighed: "Okay."
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Fu Linzhou!"
Fu Linzhou chuckled and said, "Let's go."
Lu Zhi was stunned: "Where are we going?"
Fu Linzhou looked down at her condescendingly, a faint smile curling up at the corners of his lips: "Aren't you going to take the painting today?"
Lu Zhi nodded: "Oh, yes, yes..."
She quickly followed suit.
It seemed that every time she was alone with Fu Linzhou, she would become extremely nervous, and when she was nervous, her mind would not work so well.
Lu Zhi followed him downstairs obediently.
After reaching the first floor, he opened the door to the storage room at the back.
There was a button on the shelf in the storage room. When it was pressed, a secret staircase extending downwards appeared out of thin air on the ground.
"Wow!" Lu Zhi widened his eyes in surprise. This underground secret passage that he had only seen in TV dramas was so cool!
Fu Linzhou: "I've lived a long time, and I have a lot of treasures at home. Some of them can't be seen in public, so I asked my big and small treasures to sort them out and put them in the basement. Stay with me."
Lu Zhi nodded hurriedly and moved behind him.
His nostrils were suddenly filled with the fragrance of gardenias, and Fu Linzhou lowered his eyes to stare at the small face that was very close to him.
She was blinking her big eyes, staring curiously at the dark passage below.
Like a curious baby.
