"Hello, how are you …"

"Is this OATH?"

"Right, what's wrong?"

"We just sold the painting you hung in our exhibition center, but I heard that it has already been destroyed. If that's the case, you need to return the money and you also need to pay 50% of the penalty fee …"

"…"

Cheng Nuo was sitting on the sofa, listening to the voice coming from the phone in a daze.

"Hello, Miss OATH, are you listening? "Hey, hey?!"

Cheng Nuo looked at the broken painting on the tea table and was speechless for a long time …

[] When Gu Yi returned to the house, he saw Cheng Nuo curled up on the sofa, crying softly.

He ignored the inexplicable emotion in his heart and walked forward with furrowed brows. He looked down at Cheng Nuo condescendingly and coldly said, "What happened to you?"

Cheng Nuo raised his head slowly and looked at the impatient Gu Yiyan. His swollen eyes were filled with tears as he sobbed, "Gu iyan!"

Gu Yi looked at Cheng Nuo, who was crying in his arms, and asked gently, "What happened?"

Gu Yi's gaze shifted to the shattered frame on the tea table. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Cheng Nuo, did you draw that?"

At the moment Cheng Nuo threw himself at Gu Yiyan, he was filled with regret. When he heard his question, he backed away from Gu Bingyan's embrace.

"Not bad, how did you destroy it?" Gu Yiyan praised as he looked at the drawing that was 80% similar to him.

Cheng Nuo looked away, refusing to look at the painstaking work and pouring all of his emotions into the painting. He said in a low voice, "It's just some old grudges. It's no big deal."

Gu Yiyan raised an eyebrow and walked towards his bedroom, not bothering to ask any more questions.

"Gu Yiyan!"

Gu Yi turned around and saw Cheng Nuo's uneasy expression. He had always disliked Cheng Nuo having such an expression on his face. He couldn't help but frown, "What's the matter?"

"You … Can you lend me some money? " After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Nuo finally said those words.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Yi Yan's face, but she was afraid that he would think of her as a gold digger. She hurriedly raised her head and explained, "I … I sold the painting, but it's ruined now. I can pay back the buyer's money, but at the center of the painting exhibition … I had no choice but to borrow it from you. But don't worry, I will definitely return it to you! "

The cold look in Gu Yi's eyes startled Cheng Nuo, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and look straight into Gu Yiyan's eyes.

When Cheng Nuo thought that he was going to be frozen to death by that gaze, Gu Yiyan's lips curved into a smile.

Some people used to say that if a person with a pair of peach blossom eyes smiled, you would feel that the whole world was gentle!

"Then how are you going to pay me back?!"

"Ah …" "I …" Cheng Nuo stared blankly at Gu Yiyan, not knowing what to say.

Gu Yi Yan's finger moved slightly. He undid the cut on his sleeve and slowly walked towards Cheng Nuo. He leaned over her lips and asked, "How is your man?"

Hearing this, Cheng Nuo's face turned red with embarrassment. Gu YiYan crouched down and carried Cheng Nuo into the bedroom, teasing him, "Are you trying to refuse or welcome me?"

"You!"

Unfortunately, Cheng Nuo's retort was stuck in Gu Yiyan's throat, leaving him sobbing.

Gu Yiyan growled, sending Cheng Nuo back into the abyss!

"Xin Er!"

Looking at the sleeping Gu Yiyan beside him, Cheng Nuo felt like a clown through and through.

She had always known that Gu Yiyan had signed the contract with her because of a woman, but she had never thought that this woman would be her older sister, Cheng Xin!

No wonder when he was with her, he had to look at her! No wonder he didn't like making sounds! No wonder …

So all of this was because of the resemblance between Cheng Xin and himself!

Cheng Nuo's arm moved slightly as his slender finger slowly traced across Gu Yeyan's face. He murmured softly, "Gu Yiyan, if you didn't have this face, would you have paid no attention to me?!"

Cheng Nuo could not help but smile bitterly as a huge sense of loss and despair surrounded her.

She was both physically and mentally exhausted, so she just stared at Gu Yiyan as she fell into a deep sleep.

When Cheng Nuo opened his eyes again, there was no one beside him. Instead, there was a cheque on the bedside table.

Cheng Nuo slowly picked up the blank cheque with a bitter smile on his face. He was an idiot after all. It was just a deal, how could he pay sincerely?

"Gu Yiyan, you're so generous to me!"

He tossed the check aside, got up, and went into the bathroom.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Cheng Nuo ignored the goosebumps on her skin and just allowed the cold water to hit her. She hugged herself tightly and squatted under the shower, letting tears and cold water flow down her face.
