Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 124: Mr. Li Just Says Something Romantic!
Chu Luo shrugged her shoulders. “You're right. I really can't appreciate oil painting from abroad, especially such impressionist painting.”
Before the women could react, Chu Luo continued, “Compared to this oil painting, I prefer our imperial national painting. Mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds are very generous and gentle.”
The woman wearing the Queen mask laughed softly. Although he did not show it, his words showed contempt. “To be honest, I also don't appreciate paintings in your kingdom. What is the point of painting flowers and stones without emotion all day?”
“Without emotions?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she frowned. “Who said our imperial painting is emotionless?”
“Do you suggest otherwise? Look at the XX painter's oil painting. From this painting, we can feel the freedom he craved. And this painting evokes hopes and dreams.”
“Hmph! Do not underestimate the painting of a country with your petty opinion.”
“My opinion is petty? If you disagree, then draw something that will convince us instead!”
“Ha!”
So this is what these people do.
Chu Luo sneered at the woman. “Painting is good, but I don't like being played like a monkey. Since we all insist on our own views, why don't we paint each of them?”
As Chu Luo finished speaking, someone began to whisper.
“This woman brought by Mr. Li is really overconfident. Did he not know that Adeline was a brilliant student at XX Academy and a proud student of the XX painter master?”
“I think this guy got carried away after becoming Mr. Li's female companion. Better let Adeline deal with him. Destroy his arrogance. When the time comes, we will deliberately call the people in the living room. We'll see if Mr. Li will be angry or not when he embarrasses himself.”
“Good idea.”
Adeline's goal was to compete with Chu Luo. Hearing Chu Luo's words, he immediately revealed a satisfied smile. “Sure.”
Amina tried to stop them, but someone behind her pulled her back.
“Amina, because Adeline and Chu want to compete, as the host, you can ask the waiter to prepare the canvas and paint.”
The other woman standing beside him chimed in.
“Fast. We cannot dampen the mood of Mr. Li's girlfriend.”
Unable to resist, Amina had no choice but to have the servants prepare the ingredients.
They had all of this at home because Amina was an art student. He glanced at Adeline, wanting to tell her not to go too far.
However, there were too many people here, and with all that chatter, there was no room for him to talk at all.
In the end, he thought for a moment and called out to a servant. She said to him, “Tell my father what happened here.”
The waiter nodded at him and turned to walk into the living room.
The other servants quickly prepared the tools they wanted.
Chu Luo looked at the canvas that the maid had laid out and asked Amina, “Is there a Xuan paper[1]?”
Aminah shook her head. “No.”
Adeline deliberately smiled and asked, “Don't tell me, Chu, you can't draw without the paper you need? You should know that an actual drawing expert can draw a good work on any paper.”
“Oh?” Chu Luo glanced at him and said coldly, “Then, why don't you use toilet paper to draw? That way, I can give up and admit defeat directly.”
Adeline was surprised at first, then she said unhappily, “You insulted me!”
“No, I just gave an example.”
Chu Luo's casual statement almost made Adeline vomit blood.
He realized that the person that Master Li had brought had a ferocious mouth. As a woman from high society, she planned not to argue with him and just slap him in the face with facts.
Thinking of this, Adeline calmed down.
Both are ready to draw.
Before holding the brush, Chu Luo said, “To be fair, should we draw a painting that can attract butterflies outside the door?”
“There are butterflies at night?”
“They can be caught even if there is no.”
“…”
These words make too much sense. The person who asked that question actually had nothing to say.
After the discussion whispered, everyone looked towards Amina.
Amina suddenly felt that things would not be easy to clean up tonight.
However, he couldn't say much at the moment. He called two servants into the garden to catch the butterflies.
Chu Luo and Adeline started painting.
As the two of them draw, the servant Amina sent to tell her father found Atlantis and told him about what happened in a quiet voice.
Atlantis glanced at Li Yan, who continued to sit in a wheelchair with a cold expression, occasionally taking a sip of wine. He frowned.
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly turned to look at him.
As Atlantis was stared at by Li Yan's sharp eyes, its body stiffened. He felt that if he did not say anything, he would get into trouble in the next second. Therefore, he quickly walked to Li Yan's side and bowed to whisper into her ear about Chu Luo's matter.
When Li Yan heard this, she slightly pursed her lips. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or not.
“Li, do I need to stop this?”
Li Yan suddenly looked at him. “Not needed.”
After saying that, he brought the wine in his hand to his lips and took a sip.
Atlantis breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Li Yan asked, “Who wants to compete with him?”
“Princess Mr. Lausanne, Adeline.”
Li Yan said after a few seconds, “Let him play. Notify me after they're done.”
It took Atlantis a few seconds to realize what Li Yan meant. He quickly replied and said to the waiter standing there, “Go look over there. Contact us when lady companion Li is almost done.”
“Ya Mr.”
...----------------...
Chu Luo did not immediately begin painting. Instead, he watched Adeline paint for a while.
“It's possible. See how he uses the brush. It is clear that he does not know how to draw.”
“Is this considered an Adeline win even before the competition starts?”
“Ck ck, I feel ashamed for Chu.”
“Chu, why don't you paint?” Amina could not take it anymore. He had walked over and asked this to Chu Luo in a low voice.
Chu Luo said calmly, “I think he painted too slowly. I'll wait for him first.”
Each person: “...”
Ten minutes later, Chu Luo began.
Chu Luo's image was smooth and flowing, and her sweep was full of vigor.
Soon, he deciphered the shape of the flower leaves.
Everyone stared at the painting.
Towards the end, everyone seemed to have been bewitched. Their breaths involuntarily followed his brush a little closer. And when Chu Luo began to dye them, everyone held their breaths.
Chu Luo put down her brush and announced, “I'm done.”
Then he turned to look at Adeline, who had just completed a third of her paintings.
To Amina, she said, “Let go of her butterflies.”
Halfway through, Adeline had seen Chu Luo's painting and was already feeling extremely stressed. Hearing Chu Luo say this now, she raised her voice and said angrily, “I'm not done yet! How can you let go of that butterfly!”
Chu Luo instantly replied, “Do you want to continue painting until the banquet ends?”
Adeline's face flushed.
At this moment, the sound of wheelchairs and footsteps came from the small living room archway to the large room.
In a panic, Adeline accidentally made an extra scratch on the paper. At this moment, everyone looked at the arched door. He looked at the picture on the paper, and tears flowed in his eyes.
At that moment, a heavy push came from the side.
“Ah..”
Adeline shouted in shock and crashed into Chu Luo.
Seeing that he was about to crash into Chu Luo, Adeline panicked. His hand quickly grabbed the drawing table, but instead of grabbing the tip, he grabbed the paint tray.
Before everyone's gazes, the paint tray rolled over and was thrown towards him and Chu Luo.
Although Chu Luo reacted quickly, she did not have the time to dodge all the paint.
Seeing the light purple dress quickly stained with paint, before Chu Luo could react, a berate maki sound rang out. “Adeline, what are you doing?”
That's Adeline's father, Lausanne.
There was more paint on Adeline than on Chu Luo. After being yelled at, she was so panicked that she started crying.
“I... Not me.. Someone pushed me just now.”
Chu Luo turned to look at Adeline.
At the same time, he glanced at the people standing beside him.
They quickly retreated and clarified, “It wasn't me, it wasn't me.”
At this moment, Li Yan's wheelchair arrived beside Chu Luo.
Chu Luo looked at him.
Li Yan frowned deeply and said in a cold voice, “Yunmu is dirty.”
Atlantis, who was standing nearby, felt her heart swell. She quickly said to Amina, “Amina, quickly, take Chu to change his clothes.”
Chu Luo frowned. “Not needed.”
He doesn't like to wear other people's clothes.
Atlantis looked at Li Yan, afraid that he would cancel his cooperation with her if she became unhappy.
Li Yan pursed her lips and looked at him.
Chu Luo pointed at her dress indifferently. “Don't you think it's good to add a splash of color?”
Adeline has been framed. He could tell at a glance that someone was trying to fool him. Why would he let that person do what he wanted?
Li Yan seemed to have guessed his thoughts and actually replied with “Mm.”
Then, before the eyes of everyone who was on guard, he took off his suit and handed it to her.
“Care.”
Chu Luo looked at him. “No..”
Li Yan said with disdain, “Although it is good, you can show it to me yourself.”
Each person: “...”
Master Li just said something romantic!!!
Doesn't it?!
Everyone can't believe their ears.
However, Chu Luo knew that Li Yan was underestimating the paint on her.
He straightened his face and looked at her.
Li Yan narrowed her eyes at him threateningly.
As soon as their eyes met, Qin Ming, who was standing behind the wheelchair, suddenly walked over and took the suit from Li Yan's hand. He then approached Chu Luo and put it on her.
Chu Luo: “...”
Indeed, like a master, like a servant!
