Ning Shishen looked at Mu Yan with surprise, how did she know he had a fiancée?
Mu Yan noticed what he was thinking and answered, "Brother Song told , he said you have a childhood sweetheart fiancée."
Ning Shishen’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he asked, "Why did he bring up out of nowhere?"
"Uh, just a casual chat." Mu Yan said vaguely.
She couldn’t possibly say it was because Brother Song suspected he liked her, that would be too embarrassing.
Ning Shishen didn’t doubt her, and said, "Actually, that engagent was just sothing the adults said casually, it shouldn’t be taken seriously."
"But you’ve waited for her all these years." Mu Yan smiled, "Brother Ning, I really admire you."
Ning Shishen looked at her innocent smile and found it amusing.
Isn’t she a bit too naive?
People stay single simply because they haven’t t the right person.
Now he had t soone he liked, but unfortunately, she...
Since she thinks this way, he might as well let her continue thinking that.
"Why do you like sunflowers?" Ning Shishen asked back.
Mu Yan thought for a mont, then shook her head, "I can’t really rember, maybe because they look so warm."
Since she could rember, she had been drawing sunflowers, as if they were linked to her life, as if she was born for them.
Ning Shishen thought she didn’t want to ntion it because of her inability to draw with her hand, so he didn’t ask further.
However, sunflowers do indeed look warm, and she had said so before as well.
They strolled around the art gallery and then left.
"Where are you going now?" Ning Shishen asked, "I’ll give you a ride."
"No need, I’ll just take a taxi back." Mu Yan smiled, "Next ti I’ll treat you to tea."
"Last ti you also said you’d treat to a al." Ning Shishen raised an eyebrow.
Mu Yan, "..."
Is he complaining about how many empty promises she’s made?
Actually, she was just being polite, if soone found out she was eating or having tea with Ning Shishen, there would be a vinegar jar overturned.
Seeing her troubled expression, Ning Shishen laughed, "Alright, I’m just kidding. I have to go back to the company for a eting too. Let’s catch up another day."
"Okay." Mu Yan nodded, feeling relieved inside.
She hailed a taxi by the roadside and left.
Ning Shishen watched her leave and then got into his own car.
He started the car and drove in the direction of the IOC.
Back at the company, he got out of the car and made a phone call to Liu Yun.
"Do you have any leads on Nuanyang’s other sunflower paintings? I want to buy one."
What drew him to this painter was the vibrant life in her paintings, exuberant and in stark contrast to this gray world.
"The painting at the last charity gala was auctioned off."
"Does she have no other works? Can you get in touch with this artist? I’d pay a lot to have her paint one for ."
On the other end, Liu Yun was painting in the studio.
Holding the phone, she hesitated a bit, "Her hand can’t draw anymore, I’m afraid it won’t help even if you find her."
"Is that so? That’s a bit regrettable, but I still want to et the artist."
Liu Yun thought there was no need to hide it, after hesitating, she said, "Actually, you know the artist."
"Hmm?"
"She’s Mu Yan."
Ning Shishen’s expression subtly changed, "You’re saying Nuanyang is Mu Yan?"
"Yeah, she didn’t want to say it, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. Senior, if you want sunflowers, you could ask if she has any stock."
"Okay, thank you." Ning Shishen hung up the phone, no wonder Jiang Jingheng had fought with him over that painting, it turned out to be her work.
Back in the office, Ning Shishen sat down, his gaze drifting to the photo fra beside him.
Looking at the young girl’s radiant smile, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind.
