"It's OK. It seemed you weren’t in a good spirit just now. Anything I can do for you?" Facing Ding Manman, Willis has a sense of inexplicable familiarity, as if they had met somewhere before.
Usually Willis is a little against physical contact. He doesn't like it, even with very intimate people.
But when Ding ran into his arms, he didn't push her away subconsciously, instead took the initiative to embrace her.
This kind of thing has never happened before. Willis unconsciously casts a few more glances at Ding, which makes her, who used to be shy, embarrassed and her face blushes.
"I’m OK. Thank you." Ding Manman says shyly and then walks away quickly. After all, it is a disgrace for her to stare at a strange man in public for so long. What’s more, she has been cuddling up in his arms, which is really a humiliation.
"Hi, Miss..." Looking at Ding Manman running away in a hurry, Willis is puzzled. Does he look horrible? Usually those girls coming across him would try to strike up a conversation with him voluntarily. But why has it changed when it comes to Ding Manman? What an interesting person!
Zhong Shaoting standing in the corner witnessed the whole thing. Especially when he saw Ding bump into Willis' arms, his whole body emitted something so chilling that nobody dared to approach him then.
Ironical! A second ago she hated his touch so much and claimed her trust in Fang Hao, but the next second she went to seduce another man. What the hell did his younger brother see in this shameless woman?
After a while, Zhong adjusts his emotions and walks slowly back to Willis. They chat on with each other as if nothing happened. During the conversation, Willis feels somehow that Zhong’s tone is much sharper than before. Did anything unhappy happen to him when he went to the bathroom?
The exhibition is open all day long. There will be an auction in the evening. Some famous artists will come up with their masterpieces for auction. The higher the price, the better the artist proves to be.
Jens Johnson should have been seated with An Manrou in the auction. In order to support An, Jens brought several of his favorite works for auction, therefore most of the people in this auction are here for his works.
But at the beginning of the auction, Jens Johnson, holding Ding Manman's painting, says to An Manrou, "I've already contacted the man in charge of the auction. I won't participate in it. You can go there directly. I'll leave first." Then he leaves without turning back, which triggers the anger of An, who almost breaks her high heels to blow off steam.
But she can say nothing about it. Jens is a typical art fanatic, and his enthusiasm for art leaves others in the dust. After his offer being declined by Ding, he has kept staring at the painting, as if studying something.
At this time, the reason why Jens Johnson goes back in a hurry must be that he can’t wait to study the painting. An can make no comment on that.
It's just a random painting by a layman. She doesn't think it's worth studying and she can’t see anything extraordinary about it. But Jens Johnson keeps praising how good the colors are used and how beautiful the artistic conception is, which makes An desire to tear it up. You know, her paintings have never been praised by him!
Fortunately, Ding Manman didn't promise to be Jens Johnson’s student. Otherwise, she will never go easy with that serpent-like woman!
But Ding doesn't know these at all because she has left with Sun Ling'er before the auction. Ding didn't want to leave, but groundlessly Sun was determined to, as if she had something urgent to do.
"What on earth is the matter?" asks Ding in doubt, looking at Sun, who has been urging the driver to hurry up. She intended to see more, but seeing Sun’s anxious look, she could do nothing but follow her to leave.
"My brother suddenly asked me to go back and said that if I didn’t, he would send me to Paris to learn art." Sun Ling'er is also helpless. She has just come back from studying business management in England. What’s more, she hates art the most. She would rather go back to England than study art.
"Did you do anything to make him angry?" Hearing the name of Zhong, Ding's expression becomes dim gradually. She is still thinking of the scene in the bathroom. But she wonders if Sun Linger has not done anything wrong, why would he suddenly send her to Paris?
Sun shrugs her shoulders, revealing her confusion, too. His brother usually doesn't care about her daily whereabouts. Why did he do this suddenly today, which scared her so much that she didn't even have chance to show off to and humiliate An Manrou before she left.
Ding Manman falls into silence. Since Sun didn't do anything wrong, it was because of her, then? Ding thought with horror. It must be that he didn't torture her enough in the ladies’ room, so he wanted to go on torturing her when they are back at home. This thought makes Ding shiver uncontrollably. She even feels it is difficult for her to breathe. The scene in the bathroom appears clearly in front of her eyes.
Zhong Shaoting's hateful eyes have been imprinted deeply in her mind. Just then Sun’s sudden utterance makes her jump.
"Damn! Did my brother get to know about my bet with An Manrou?!” Sun Ling'er suddenly feels it is possible. Because she didn't know what happened between Ding and her brother, she can only find this probable reason for her brother’s sudden calling her back.
"It's not impossible. I met your brother on the way to the bathroom." Ding chimes in with her. She conceals what happened in the bathroom though. At first, neither she nor Sun expected to meet Zhong at the exhibition. If he hadn't appeared in the bathroom suddenly, she wouldn't even have known that he was also at the exhibition.
"My brother went to the exhibition, too?!" Sun was shocked. Why didn't she know about that? But she didn't expect her brother would go to the art exhibition because she has never heard that he is interested in art. Moreover, he has been busy with the company recently and he won’t waste his time on things like these .
"I’m finished. It's one thing to be known by my brother, but it's another story to be seen with his own eyes. My brother must be about to explode with rage because of this. What should I do, Sister Manman!" Sun is so anxious that she is about to shed tears.
