Zhu Danyan and Su Man finally got out of bed.
No sooner had they awakened than Mi Yiyao invited Zhu Danyan into a eting room. "Sister Yan, I’m sorry," she said apologetically. "Without your consent, I beca his woman. Last night, I couldn’t resist the temptation and seduced him, giving myself to him. I have truly fallen in love with him. Besides, to manage such a large company and so many artists, I must be his woman to have the necessary authority. I promise to remain utterly loyal to him, as well as to you. I won’t compete with you for his affection; I am just your maidservant, your housekeeper. Please believe and forgive ."
She took all the bla, not saying a word about how Zhang Bin had actually snuck into her room to take advantage of her the night before. Such a woman was truly special, so it was no wonder Zhang Bin admired her so much.
Zhu Danyan was stunned for a mont, then she embraced Mi Yiyao. "Mi Yiyao, we’ve worked together for so many years," she said apologetically. "We’re good sisters and close friends who know each other inside and out. So, don’t cover for him. It must have been him who took advantage of you last night. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Sister Yan, I’m telling the truth, I’m not lying to you," Mi Yiyao said earnestly. "Though I’ve always chosen to be single, I’ve been completely won over by how amazing the boss is these past few days and have fallen deeply in love with him. I’m willing to be his housekeeper and maidservant for life. So, the boss really didn’t take advantage of ; I was completely willing. I am very happy now. The feeling of being in love with soone is wonderful."
"Then I’m relieved. He may be a philanderer, but he doesn’t act carelessly. He must have really admired and liked you to do what he did. Now that it has happened and you’ve beco his woman, I’m happy because we’ve beco true sisters. I feel even more reassured. With your capabilities, you will surely manage the company well and earn a lot of money to support him," Zhu Danyan said softly.
"Sister Yan, I won’t let you all down," Mi Yiyao said, secretly letting out a long sigh of relief.
"This ’you all’ doesn’t just include him and , but several others as well. Do you understand?" Zhu Danyan’s tone turned serious. "They discussed it with the other day, hoping that you and Su Man could beco their sisters. You must repay them well and respect them."
Gratitude filled Mi Yiyao’s face. "I will." At that mont, all her worries and fears vanished. With no more concerns holding her back, she felt she could now work boldly to build a Hollywood of China. She was sure she could achieve it.
After their heartfelt talk, they left the eting room. Zhu Danyan then pulled Su Man into a room and lowered her voice. "Cousin, you knew him so early on, but you’ve fallen behind the others. Mi Yiyao has already beco his woman. You’ve really let things slide."
"Mi Yiyao has already beco his woman? So quickly?" Su Man asked, her face a mask of surprise. She could hardly believe her ears.
"Just that quickly. She seduced him herself. When she sees a man she likes, she makes her move imdiately. You should take a leaf out of her book," Zhu Danyan said.
"Mi Yiyao is a good person. I have no objection to her being his woman," Su Man said, deflecting the conversation away from herself.
However, a little later, she still went into Zhang Bin’s room.
It’s settled! Zhu Danyan celebrated excitedly in her heart.
Zhang Bin was painting in his room, trying to see if he could create a work that transcended the Grandmaster Level. When he saw Su Man enter, his face lit up with pleasant surprise. He imdiately asked her to be his model and began to paint with ticulous care.
Su Man and Zhu Danyan were cousins, both endowed with the genes of beauty, making them exceptionally rare beauties. Using Su Man as a model was even more fitting than using Feng Bani.
With a face full of shy delight, Su Man stood there, elegant and graceful, her beautiful eyes brimming with tender affection.
Zhang Bin painted with all his might, finally completing the artwork after about half an hour. The background was Mantou Ridge, a picturesque grove where peach blossoms flourished in radiant splendor. Su Man stood amidst the blossoms, clad in a red skirt and a pinkish-white top, her black hair drifting in the wind. She looked unbelievably beautiful. The painting itself was also incredibly stunning and enchanting.
Regrettably, it still didn’t transcend the Grandmaster Realm, rely reaching the peak of the Grandmaster Level.
It seems I really can’t paint one now. I might need more ti for contemplation and to let my ideas mature. Disappointnt was written all over Zhang Bin’s face.
However, Su Man was so excited she almost fainted. She absolutely adored the painting; she looked so beautiful and charming in it. After all, she had always loved taking photos and selfies to capture her beauty so she could reminisce when she was older.
She admired the painting, srized for a long ti, before finally asking with anticipation, "Xiao Bin, this painting?"
"It’s for you. Let it be our token of love," Zhang Bin said softly.
"Xiao Bin, I love you!" Su Man cried, both shy and delighted as she passionately threw herself into Zhang Bin’s embrace.
After an intense, passionate mont, Su Man reluctantly pulled away. She still felt uneasy, worried about being misunderstood by people outside, or that they might hear sothing embarrassing.
She carefully rolled up the painting and said bashfully, "Xiao Bin, I’ll be returning to Qingshan County in a few days, and my dad will be going there too..."
"Mhm, mhm, I’ll definitely go and convince your dad."
Zhang Bin’s scalp tingled. He had a strange aversion to facing his father-in-law, perhaps because Tian Guangjin had scolded him so severely last ti. Nonetheless, he braced himself and agreed.
Su Man was delighted. Holding the painting, she walked out contentedly.
All the other won looked at her with suggestive glances. After all, she had been in Zhang Bin’s room for quite a long ti—more than enough for things to have happened.
Zhu Danyan approached with a smile. "Cousin, you’ve finally co to your senses."
Su Man’s face flushed red. "Cousin, what are you talking about? We didn’t do anything. I just modeled for him while he painted." She quickly unrolled the scroll, adding gleefully, "He gave it to !"
In an instant, all the beauties sward around her, Mi Yiyao included. They stared, wide-eyed, admiring the painting. After being srized for what felt like an eternity, their faces were all painted with envy and admiration.
Although the painting hadn’t reached the Simulacrum Realm, it possessed a more grounded, worldly charm that made it even more beautiful and enchanting. Its value certainly couldn’t match one billion USD, but it was definitely worth several hundred million RMB.
Su Man was the first woman to receive such a precious painting from Zhang Bin. How could the others not be envious and jealous?
Even Zhu Danyan was extrely envious. I should go have a word with Zhang Bin! Why didn’t he paint one for ?
