Shao Heng was on the balcony making a phone call. Wan Tong waited for him to finish before inviting him to sit on the couch.
“Here, your prize.”
Shao Heng seemed puzzled, his black eyes fixed on her, and he didn’t take it. “Why are you giving it to me?”
“You won the prize, didn’t you?”
“I don’t want it.” Shao Heng hadn’t expected to win, he had just retweeted the Weibo for fun.
“If you didn’t want it, why did you retweet my Weibo for the lottery?”
“…For fun,” he replied honestly.
As he spoke, he glanced at her beautiful lip color. Everytime she went out, even when she didn’t wear other makeup, she would apply lipstick. But he thought she looked good even without lipstick, with her pink lips, no visible lip lines, and slightly curved lip beads…
Realizing his thoughts were veering in a strange direction, Shao Heng quickly shifted his gaze, impatiently pushing the lipstick away. “You take it if you want, I don’t want it.”
“People online are speculating about what you’re going to do with the lipstick. The most common guess is… using it for painting,” Wan Tong said with a laugh after finishing her sentence.
Shao Heng looked at the color of the lipstick and frowned, “It’s not suitable for painting.”
Wan Tong watched him purse his thin lips slightly and fearlessly spoke, “Did you not rest well? Your lips look a bit pale. How about trying it? This lipstick is very moisturizing, you can apply it directly.”
Facing her particularly eager gaze, Shao Heng’s refusal got stuck in his throat.
Every time he watched her live stream, he would see her irresistible gaze like this. In real life, facing her like this, he found it even harder to say no.
Shao Heng obediently sat on the sofa, and Wan Tong stood in front of him, slightly bending over, and opened the lipstick.
A fruity fragrance wafted out, and Shao Heng couldn’t help but glance at the lipstick and commented, “It smells good.”
Wan Tong noticed his curious yet slightly nervous expression and couldn’t help but touch his hair, “Yes, but you shouldn’t eat it later.”
Shao Heng brushed away her hand irritably, “I won’t eat it. I’m afraid it’s poisoned.”
“If eating it would kill someone, then I must have died countless times already. Don’t move, I’m going to start,” Wan Tong said gently as she adjusted his chin and prepared to apply the lipstick.
Wan Tong’s hand was quick and accurate, and in just a few seconds, she had finished applying it to him.
Wan Tong pursed her lips and signaled him to follow her, “Purse your lips.”
Shao Heng looked at her face up close, feeling a bit parched, and unconsciously pursed his lips.
Wan Tong took a step back, looked at him seriously, and then commented, “Hmm, just a light application, and you’ve transformed from a handsome and aloof young man into a queen.”
Upon hearing the word ‘queen,’ Shao Heng’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Before he could say anything, the assistant standing nearby couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sis, he looks even better on camera!”
The assistant had come back with Wan Tong and had just gone to Wan Tong’s room to put some things away. When she came out and saw Wan Tong applying lipstick to Shao Heng, she couldn’t resist recording it.
Wan Tong quickly moved closer to take a look at the recorded video, “Indeed…”
She was starting to think about persuading Shao Heng to enter the entertainment industry. If she became his manager, she would surely make a fortune.
Shao Heng, seeing the two women huddled together and whispering, hurriedly approached to try to take the phone away, “Delete it for me!”
Wan Tong quickly hid the phone behind her and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry. Just keep it for my private enjoyment, what are you afraid of?”
Shao Heng was tall and had long arms, so he reached behind her. In the process, their bodies inevitably touched, and by the time he realized something was wrong, his hands were already holding her hands, and his arms were pressed against her side, as if he had pulled her into his embrace.
The assistant who was enjoying the scene covered her mouth, trying to minimize her presence.
“Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? At least let me finish watching,” Wan Tong said, leaning back.
However, Shao Heng suddenly let go of her and raised his hands to show his innocence, looking a bit foolish.
“*Pfft*,” the assistant couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing Shao Heng’s ‘surrendering gesture,’ Wan Tong couldn’t help but laugh too. He really was an innocent child.
In this world, she had never thought about dating, but because of Shao Heng’s face, she couldn’t remain a stranger to him.
After the lipstick incident, Shao Heng stayed in his room until evening before coming out to cook. After finishing cooking, he left the apartment again.
Wan Tong had dinner alone, and after her live stream ended, Shao Heng returned from outside, holding a well-packaged item.
“What did you bring?” Wan Tong asked curiously.
“A painting,” Shao Heng replied reluctantly, clutching the well-packaged painting and entering his room, locking the door.
Wan Tong : “…”
Something was fishy.
She leaned against the door, listening to the sounds coming from Shao Heng’s room.
Unfortunately, there were no sounds at all.
It wasn’t until the next day when she checked Weibo that she found out what he had brought.
#Shao Heng Bought Back Painting of Gu Wantong#
Last night, the painting ‘Chase’ was auctioned at a charity event, and Shao Heng bought it back for 280,000 yuan.
There were videos from the auction on Weibo.
Due to the previous incident involving Li Xutian and Shao Heng, this painting seemed to be tainted, and it started with a bid of 50,000 yuan.
However, there were still people eager to bid, some of whom were Wan Tong’s fans.
Shao Heng remained silent at first, only speaking up when the price reached 200,000 yuan.
Some people in the audience recognized him and were shocked. They didn’t expect him to come and bid for this painting, and his expression showed determination.
For a moment, Wan Tong’s fans became quiet and kept looking in Shao Heng’s direction.
In the end, Shao Heng won the painting for 280,000 yuan.
After reading this, Wan Tong felt like her heart was being torn apart.
She knew Shao Heng made money easily, but where did he get 280,000 yuan? She had no clue.
And why did he spend so much money to buy his own painting? Was it necessary?
She walked out of her room, glaring at Shao Heng, who was busy in the kitchen, feeling upset and losing her appetite.
Shao Heng walked out holding a bowl of porridge, noticing that something was off with her expression. He instinctively said, “I haven’t offended you.”
“You certainly have,” Wan Tong’s lips twitched. “Why did you spend so much money to buy the painting? Where did you get the money?”
Shao Heng evaded the question, “The compensation from those few marketing accounts has been received, and someone approached me for advertising, so I received an advance payment.”
Wan Tong : “…” Making money always seemed easy for the boss. Is this what they call being born lucky?
“Do you know you’re trending on Weibo?” Wan Tong sipped her porridge while giving herself a pep talk.
Well, the money is already spent, and she could just earn it back.
Shao Heng shook his head but added, “No wonder so many reporters were looking for me this morning.”
Wan Tong : “…”
After a long pause, Wan Tong glanced at her phone screen and said, “If anyone says Shao Heng and Gu Wantong don’t have a leg1, I’ll just break their legs.”
Shao Heng paused, slowly raised his head to look at her, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
Wan Tong put away her phone, leaned in, and asked him seriously, “Shao Heng, do you like me?”
*Smack!*
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Shao Heng exploded. He slammed his chopsticks on the table, seemingly on the verge of a tantrum. “Who said that!”
Wan Tong shrank her neck and shook her phone playfully. “It’s what the netizens are saying. Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, we know the truth, no matter what others say.”
For some reason, when Shao Heng heard Wan Tong say that, anger surged in his heart.
He glared at her, then walked away, leaving only a sentence behind, “You’re doing the dishes today!”
Wan Tong: “…”
She shouldn’t have provoked him. She had just done her nails!
After breakfast, Wan Tong went to the company as usual.
As soon as she left her apartment, she heard Shishi’s reminder that Li Zhi was tracking her.
Wan Tong didn’t take a taxi but chose to walk.
The company wasn’t far from where she lived, just a ten-minute walk. She did this to give Li Zhi a chance to make a move.
As she walked, she sent a message to Shao Heng.
At that moment, Shao Heng was in front of a high-end apartment building. After checking his phone, he immediately called back.
However, the call went unanswered.
He felt a bit anxious, looked at the family of four coming out of the apartment, and then turned and left.
Ten minutes later, Shao Heng received a call from Wan Tong while he was in a taxi.
There was a lot of noise on her end, and he didn’t know what had happened.
“What’s wrong?” Shao Heng asked anxiously.
“I’m okay, a drunk driver almost hit me…”
“Where are you?” Shao Heng interrupted her.
After getting the address, Shao Heng urged the driver to speed up, feeling anxious, and his blood rushed to his head.
He was afraid something might happen to her.
Panic almost took his breath away.
After more than ten minutes, Shao Heng finally arrived at the intersection where Wan Tong was. Most of the crowd had dispersed, and there were traffic police and police officers present, with Wan Tong among them.
“Gu Wantong!” Shao Heng hurried over, slightly out of breath, and took her hand. He felt her palm was a bit cold, but it gradually warmed up when he touched her skin. “Are you okay?”
Although he could see that she was unharmed, he still asked, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed, unable to relax.
If… this was what it felt like to like someone, then he liked her so much that it hurt.
Wan Tong looked at him and patted his arm comfortingly. “I’m fine, didn’t I tell you on the phone?”
“How did this happen? What about the person responsible?” Shao Heng asked, looking at the van that had been impounded and the disheveled, intoxicated man inside.
Similar images flashed in his mind, and sweat formed on Shao Heng’s palm as he firmly grasped Wan Tong’s wrist, his pupils trembling slightly.
Wan Tong placed her other hand on top of his. “The driver was drunk, and now he’s going crazy.”
“He was drunk, yet he was rational enough not to crash another car but crash into people?” Shao Heng muttered between his teeth, clearly feeling tense.
Wan Tong knew he was thinking about his own parents. “The police will take care of it. Let’s go back first.”
Li Zhi couldn’t escape this time.
Shao Heng wanted to say more, but seeing sweat on her forehead, he nodded and pulled her hand, heading towards the apartment.
Li Zhi watched the two of them leave hand in hand, a malicious glint in her eyes.
Even like this, she couldn’t kill Gu Wantong!
Just now, Gu Wantong dodged as if she knew a car was about to crash into her!
Could it be that Gu Wantong and Shao Heng become luckier after being together for so long?”
She glanced at the drunk driver and wasn’t worried about being exposed. After all, didn’t she use the same trick to kill Shao Heng’s parents five years ago?
Taking advantage of people who are in dire straits is the best way.
However, what surprised her was that the police came knocking on her door that afternoon.
Gu Wantong told the police that someone was following her. The police checked the surveillance footage and discovered Li Zhi…
Li Zhi broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. This was her first time following Gu Wantong, and she was quite far away. How did Gu Wantong find out?
In any case, Li Zhi was taken to the police station.
