No longer lacking money, naturally, there’s no need to act recklessly before mastering the skills.
Besides, she can sell her regular paintings for quite a bit now, so why bother with those unreliable dicinal paintings?
If anything were to go wrong, wouldn’t it greatly damage her current reputation?
So her not researching dicinal paintings or painting them for people is perfectly normal.
There’s nothing wrong with that.
Hu Xiangyong took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.
"Good tea."
"Then Mr. Hu, please have a few more cups. If you want to drink this kind of tea, you can have it every day at the Youqingwei Teahouse."
"Yes, I heard that the teahouse is run by you." Hu Xiangyong said, "If I ntion Xiao Chiang’s na when I go there, can I get a discount?"
"Sorry, Mr. Hu, I don’t make much on those teas as it is, and I rely on word of mouth from regulars. If everyone wanted a discount, I’d end up losing money."
Pfft.
Ding Haijing couldn’t help but want to laugh from the side.
He’s witnessed it now. Chiang Xiao isn’t even a little bit polite to people she doesn’t like.
She won’t even bother with a polite excuse for a discount.
Hu Xiangyong drank his tea, stood up, and reached out to Chiang Xiao, "What a pity, I didn’t get what I wished for this ti either. Miss Chiang, you really know how to refuse thoroughly. I guess I’ll have to wait for a chance to see Miss Chiang’s exhibition and hope I can contribute to charity."
Chiang Xiao looked at his outstretched hand and the ring on his finger, and the alarm bells in her head rang again.
He’s at it again, with the sa old trick.
She also stood up and smiled, "If the exhibition happens, Mr. Hu is very welco to be generous then. But let’s skip the handshake," she said sowhat sheepishly, "My fiancé is incredibly jealous, and he doesn’t allow to shake hands with or get too close to other n."
Pfft.
Ding Haijing almost couldn’t hold back his laughter again.
The image of Envious ng beca incredibly vivid in that mont.
Hu Xiangyong laughed heartily, his hand still not withdrawn. "Your fiancé isn’t here now, so he wouldn’t know, right?"
"Ahem." Chiang Xiao glanced at Ding Haijing and lowered her voice, "Actually, this Comrade Xiao Ding here is the eyes and ears my fiancé left behind; he will definitely snitch on ."
Ding Haijing: "..."
He’s a bodyguard, not here to monitor for any infidelity, oh please.
This girl pulls out all the stops.
Hu Xiangyong’s eyes flashed as he said, "So, being alone in a room with this young, handso man doesn’t bother your fiancé?"
Right, let’s see how you explain this.
Ding Haijing thought he was being a bit mischievous, joining the opponent in anticipation of Chiang Xiao’s response.
Then they both saw Chiang Xiao looking as if she wanted to say sothing but hesitated, as if there was sothing she was embarrassed to admit.
Co on, what’s with that look, that expression?
Chiang Xiao covered her mouth with her hand, speaking very quietly, "Mr. Hu, you might not know, but Xiao Ding doesn’t like girls at all."
Cough cough cough!
Ding Haijing almost choked on his own saliva.
Did Chiang Xiao think he couldn’t hear?
After Hu Xiangyong left, Ding Haijing couldn’t keep his face from darkening.
He was impressed with himself for holding out this long!
"Chiang Xiao! What did you an by that last comnt?"
Chiang Xiao blinked her eyes innocently, "What comnt? Oh right, since I’m planning to hold an exhibition, I should go paint now!"
With that, she made a swift exit to the study, slamming the door behind her.
