"Don't be in a hurry to agree to sell the painting to anyone. Wait for me to come back and we can discuss it again. I'll use the company's shares in exchange for it, okay?" Wei Shicheng said in a coaxing tone.
"I never planned to sell it. I think it'll be difficult for me to draw such a good painting in the future. Also, this painting took up too much of my energy. I can't bear to sell it, so I plan to keep it for myself. "Tao Wan thought for a while and said," I'll use this painting as my dowry, okay, Uncle Wei? "
"That's a great idea. Then it's settled." Wei Shicheng said excitedly, "No matter what other people say to you, don't be tempted. I'll rush back in two days. No matter what happens, wait for me to come back first."
"I already said that I won't sell it. No matter how much money they give me, I won't be tempted. You can come back after you've settled everything there. Otherwise, you'll have to fly back in a short period of time. Wouldn't that be a waste of time? "
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll settle everything here first. You can ask for leave from school for the next few days. Don't go anywhere at home. Otherwise, those people will definitely pester you. "
"Okay, okay. Hurry up and work. Come back early when you're done. I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy. "Tao Wan yawned again.
"Then go to sleep. Rest well for the next few days. I'm hanging up." Wei Shicheng looked at Tao Wan's tired face and felt a little sorry for him.
Tao Wan waited for him to finish and immediately hung up. He was still holding the phone in his hand and had already fallen asleep. That painting took up too much of his energy and mind. Even the system's recovery speed had slowed down. Tao Wan felt that even if he could draw a painting of the same level, he wouldn't want to draw again. At least for the next few years, he definitely wouldn't draw again.
After the two made their relationship public, Tao Wan moved to Wei Shicheng's villa. Du Yi also lived there with him. Wei Shicheng even helped him transfer to a private elite school.
Tao Wan slept until noon, but his face was still sleepy. If he hadn't woken up due to hunger, he would have continued sleeping.
Du Yi was watching TV in the living room. Tao Wan walked over to him and sat down. The butler walked over and asked, "Master Du, what would you like to eat?"
"Seafood porridge," Tao Wan said. "Make me a glass of milk first."
The housekeeper left and soon returned with a glass of fresh milk.
Du Yi turned to look at Tao Wan and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to school today?"
"Yes." Tao Wan took a sip of the warm milk. "I'll be resting at home for the next few days. I won't be going anywhere."
"Is it because a lot of people want to buy your paintings?" Du Yi said. "These two days, your paintings have been on the news a lot. The news said that a lot of rich people from abroad have come to our country just to buy your paintings. But a lot of masters in our country are saying that they can't let you sell your paintings to foreigners. "
"You're only in primary school and you're already watching the news? Shouldn't children your age be watching anime? "
"Not all primary school students like to watch anime, right?" Du Yi thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I don't like to watch it. The content is too exaggerated. I prefer to watch what happens in reality."
"Really?" Tao Wan said.
"Brother, will you sell your paintings to foreigners? I heard that they will pay a high price and help you immigrate. "
"No." Tao Wan said with certainty. "I'm living well in our country. Why would I want to immigrate to a place that I'm not used to at all? They must be crazy to think that. Our country is not worse than other countries in any aspect. I'm not crazy. Why would I agree to it? "
"Oh, I don't really want to go abroad. I think it's good to live in our country." Du Yi looked relieved.
Tao Wan looked at him funny.
"The news said that you can sell your paintings for a lot of money. So you're rich now, right?" Du Yi asked.
"You can say that." Tao Wan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we don't have to worry about money anymore."
"When I start working, I'll give you all the money I earn." Du Yi said with a serious face.
"Okay." Tao Wan patted his shoulder and said, "Before you get married, I'll help you take care of it."
"Master Du, it's time for the young master to go to his piano lesson." The housekeeper put down the seafood porridge and said to Tao Wan.
"Okay." Tao Wan nodded. He turned to Du Yi and said, "Go, have a good class."
"I'm leaving brother." Du Yi stood up and said.
Students in aristocratic schools had to learn a few specialties. Du Yi chose piano and fencing. He wanted to learn horsemanship and combat skills when his body was better.
Tao Wan looked at the news on TV. It was now reporting about him. He sighed. It seemed that he had used too much force this time. He would definitely be harassed by those people for a long time.
Tao Wan had two phones. Only Wei Shicheng and Du Yi knew the number of one. The number of the other phone was known by more people. Some of the teachers in the school, people in the art gallery, and some masters of Chinese painting and Go. They all had his number. Now, they must have been flooded with calls. He didn't dare to turn on his phone.
Tao Wan thought that he had overestimated his ability to cope. It was better to wait for Wei Shicheng to come back. During this time, he would hide at home.
Those people who wanted to buy the painting were looking for Tao Wan all over the world. Tao Wan could turn off his phone and hide, but Wei Shicheng's work phone couldn't be turned off. Those people who wanted to find Tao Wan wasted a lot of his time.
The exhibition director was going crazy. Since the painting had not been displayed, those masters had been forcing him to contact Tao Wan. They said that they had to buy the painting even if they had to spend all their life savings. After the painting was exhibited, it immediately attracted more masters who were unwilling to leave. Then, the media came. After that, he was almost driven crazy by that person. However, he couldn't contact Tao Yuan no matter how hard he tried. There was nothing he could do.
A few days later, Wei Shicheng finally came back. After discussing with Tao Wan, the two of them attended the press conference together. Tao Wan explained to everyone that no matter how much the painting "Penglai of Bliss" was offered, he wouldn't sell it. This was because he wanted this painting as his dowry. After he got married, it would be jointly owned by him and Wei Shicheng. It would be a testimony to their love.
Tao Wan had made it very clear that he wouldn't sell the painting to anyone, let alone to a foreign collector. As long as he was alive, he would never let the painting go abroad.
Tao Wan had made it public, but would those who wanted to buy the painting give up? Of course, it was impossible.
Tao Wan simply didn't go to school or live in the villa. He lived with Wei Shicheng in a villa in the suburbs. Every day, he would paint and play the piano. His life was comfortable and comfortable.
Tao Wan knew that many people wanted to see him. These people were either rich or powerful, or held high positions. The Chess Saint Su Yongfu and some other masters had expressed their desire to see him many times. However, if he saw one of them, he couldn't refuse to see the others. Thus, he simply refused to see anyone.
Tao Wan could refuse to see anyone, but Wei Shicheng couldn't. He had his own helplessness.
"There will be a guest coming tomorrow." Wei Shicheng said as he hugged Tao Wan.
"Who?" Tao Wan leaned in his arms. His body was naked under the quilt. He put his leg on top of his.
"An uncle of mine. His surname is Liu." Wei Shicheng said, "I talked to him about a piece of land two years ago, but we couldn't reach an agreement. Recently, he suddenly contacted me and said that he was willing to talk to me. However, he requested that you be present. I think he must be here for that painting. "
Tao Wan thought for a while and said, "Is he Liu Xiujie's grandfather?"
"Yes." Wei Shicheng said, "I didn't want to agree to his request, but that piece of land is really important to the company. Thus, I still wanted to talk to him. However, don't worry. I will never let you sell that painting to him. Even if it's ten pieces of land, I won't agree to let you exchange it with him. "
"That uncle of yours, does he like to play Go?" Tao Wan recalled the information he had found.
"Yes, he's a Go fanatic. However, I have to say that his level of Go is quite high. Even the Chess Saint might not be his opponent. "
"Is that so?" Tao Wan looked absent-minded. He rubbed Wei Shicheng's chest with his finger.
"Why? You want to play Go with him? "Wei Shicheng asked as he grabbed his hand.
"I do have this idea." Tao Wan said, "You said that his level of Go is not lower than that of the Chess Saint. Thus, he must be very confident in himself. Since he wants that painting of mine, I'll bet with him. If he wins, I'll give him the painting. If he loses, he'll give me the land. What do you think? "
"Nothing much." Wei Shicheng immediately rejected, "Your painting is much more valuable than that piece of land. It's not worth risking the painting."
"You don't have confidence in me?" Tao Wan looked up and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"…" Wei Shicheng immediately coaxed, "This is not called not having confidence in you. This is called not taking risks that you shouldn't take."
As a man who was about to get married, Wei Shicheng had learned how to coax his wife. When faced with his wife's questions, he would sometimes tell white lies.
"Isn't that just because you don't have confidence in me? You think that I can't tell if you change your words? Hmph! " Tao Wan snorted and said, "I want to play with him. Even if he's better than the Chess Saint, it's useless because the Chess Saint isn't as good as me. I see that he's old, so I let him win."
"Baby, listen to me. It's not that I don't believe you. Even the Chess Saint can make mistakes sometimes, right? You can't guarantee that … "
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening! You just don't believe me! "Tao Wan turned over and lay on his stomach on the bed, covering his ears hard.
"Baby, let's talk about it again, okay?" Wei Shicheng hugged him.
…
In the end, Wei Shicheng still couldn't convince Tao Wan. Tao Wan felt that if he was only 90% sure, he might not take the risk. But if he was 200% sure, why wouldn't he do it?
The next day, Tao Wan was playing the guqin in the Tingshui Pavilion. Wei Shicheng was lying on the recliner beside him, resting with his eyes closed.
After the housekeeper came in, he reported behind the screen, "Sir, Old Mr. Liu and the others are here."
"Invite them in and greet them in the outer hall," Wei Shicheng said with his eyes closed.
"Yes."
After the housekeeper left, there was the sound of people entering the outer hall. Wei Shicheng stood up and walked around the screen.
Tao Wan continued to play the guqin. He wouldn't stop until he finished a song. This was obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Uncle, cousin." Wei Shicheng greeted the people who came in and invited them to sit down.
"Father insisted on coming. Shicheng, don't mind him," Old Man Liu's eldest son, Liu Wangyang, said.
"Cousin, don't say that. If uncle wants to come, I can't wait to welcome him," Wei Shicheng said politely.
After Old Man Liu came in, he didn't say anything. After sitting down, he closed his eyes and listened carefully to the soft sounds coming from the inner hall.
Wei Shicheng didn't disturb him. After the servant served tea, he drank the tea and chatted with Liu Wangyang in a low voice.
"Who's playing the guqin?" Old Man Liu asked with his eyes closed.
"It's Qing Yu. He has the habit of not stopping until he finishes a song. When he's done, he'll come out," Wei Shicheng said.
"He's a strange person." Old Man Liu stroked his beard. "He can play chess, draw, and has such good guqin skills. Shicheng, even uncle can't help but be convinced by your luck. "
Wei Shicheng smiled but didn't say anything. However, there was an unconcealable sense of pride in his smile.
After Wei Shicheng put on his clothes, he sat next to Tao Wan and stroked his face. "I'll recognize you as my godson. In the future, godfather will support you. However much money you need, godfather can give you."
After the two of them had sex, when Wei Shicheng said that he would recognize him as his godson, he didn't really mean that he was his godson. In the past, when one recognized a godfather and a godson, they were really relatives. They had to interact with each other during the New Year. That was why the father of the original owner let his son recognize Wei Shicheng as his godfather. He wanted to climb up the social ladder with Wei Shicheng. However, at that time, Wei Shicheng's business wasn't as big as it was now.
However, in the past few years, the relationship between godfather and godson had changed. There was another hidden layer of relationship.
"The manager said that I only have to serve you this once. He didn't say that I have to serve you in the future." Tao Wan lowered his head and showed an unwilling expression.
"You listen to your manager that much?" Wei Shicheng said unhappily. "Then do you know that no matter what I say, your manager has to listen?"
"This isn't a matter of who I listen to. I only promised to serve you once, so I only took the money once." Tao Wan tried his best to show the original owner's personality. He was cold, arrogant, and didn't give in easily. Although he didn't seem to have the confidence to act like this after they had sex, he couldn't give in immediately. This wasn't in line with the original owner's personality. Tao Yuan was still thinking about how to get into character, so he continued his performance.
"You probably don't understand my personality. Do you know why your manager doesn't want you to talk back to me?" Wei Shicheng asked.
"Because you have money, power, and a lot of tricks. That's why I can't offend you." Tao Wan replied.
"As expected, you only know half of it. But it's okay. You'll slowly understand in the future." Wei Shicheng kissed the corner of his mouth, then looked into his eyes and said, "I don't like to force people on things like this. It's best if both parties are willing. I hope you won't be the first person to be forced by me."
Tao Wan quickly blinked a few times and asked, "Then this relationship, when will it end?"
"It will only end when I say it's over." Wei Shicheng was used to being domineering. Since he had set his heart on him, he naturally wouldn't end it so easily. "While you're my godson, you're not allowed to date or have sex with anyone else. Do you understand?"
"I understand …" Tao Wan was just pretending to refuse. If he resisted too much, it would be too much.
"Let's go. I'll send you back." Wei Shicheng touched his white and tender face. The smooth feeling made him reluctant to move his hand away.
Tao Wan wanted to stand up, but he immediately sat back down. His face was as red as if someone had splashed rouge on it.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "Wei Shicheng asked with concern.
"Can you, can you, wait for me downstairs?" Tao Wan was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head.
"What's wrong?" How could Wei Shicheng leave him here alone, especially when he was obviously not right?
"… It's yours, yours …" Tao Wan pressed his lower abdomen and forced himself to say, "Yours … is still inside."
Only then did Wei Shicheng remember. He suddenly realized and said, "Yes, there are still quite a lot left inside. If you are a girl, you may be pregnant this time."
"You go out first. I'll be back in a bit." Tao Wan pushed him.
"I'll help you." Wei Shicheng had never done this kind of thing for others, so he had no experience. But because of the child in his arms, not only was he willing to make an exception, but he also felt that it was quite interesting. Even he himself found it incredible.
When Wei Shicheng and Tao Wan went downstairs, Manager Wu was still sitting in the lobby with his men. He was still worried that Tao Wan would anger Wei Shicheng. When he saw the two of them coming down, he immediately got up to greet them and bowed to Wei Shicheng.
The music had stopped long ago. The two of them had been alone upstairs for a few hours. Just by looking at Tao Wan's embarrassed face, he knew that what should have happened had already happened.
Tao Wan's steps were a bit shaky, and his waist was a bit sore. It was the first time someone had visited him, so he was still a bit uncomfortable. The people below all knew what they were doing upstairs. Under their gazes, Tao Wan was obviously too embarrassed to raise his head.
After sending the two of them to the car and watching the car drive away, Manager Wu felt that Wei Shicheng was actually willing to personally send Tao Wan back. It seemed that he was quite satisfied. He finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He rubbed his sore neck and walked inside, thinking that he could finally have a good night's sleep.
Wei Shicheng sent Tao Wan out of the neighborhood. He kissed his lips again and again, kissing him for more than ten minutes without letting go.
Tao Wan felt that his lips were about to break. It was hot and stinging. If he was just kissing him, it would be fine. Although he kissed harder and harder, as if he wanted to eat his lips and tongue, it wasn't like he couldn't endure it. However, he didn't know when his hand had reached into his clothes. From slowly sliding, to forcefully kneading, Tao Wan felt that his skin that had been kneaded by his hand was burning up, and his body temperature was gradually rising.
Wei Shicheng finally let go of Tao Wan's lips. Seeing his originally pink lips turn an even more alluring rosy red, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Godfather, you should let me out of the car. Otherwise, the sky will be bright." Tao Wan saw the desire burning in his eyes and couldn't help but remind him.
Wei Shicheng said in Tao Wan's ear, "Godfather will send someone to pick you up in two days. Accompany godfather well. Godfather will dote on you."
Although the backseat of the car was a separate space, and no one else could hear their conversation, Tao Wan still blushed from his explicit words. But at this time, he could only deal with him first. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would be willing to take the initiative to let him go. Maybe when he was in the mood, he would do it again in the car.
"I know godfather. I will serve godfather well next time. Now let me go back quickly." Tao Wan tried to make an expressionless face, but there was a pleading look in his eyes.
"Go." Wei Shicheng felt that the novelty in his heart hadn't passed, so he didn't want to let him go. He decided that the next time he would take him to his place, he must sleep enough before letting him go.
Tao Wan finally got away and returned to his residence. After entering the house, he quietly opened the door of Du Yi's room. With the small night light on his bedside, he saw his sleeping face. Only then did he feel relieved to close the door, and then quietly returned to his room.
After taking a shower in the bathroom of the room, Tao Wan lay on the bed tired, thinking that this kind of flesh business was really not easy at all. In particular, the person he sold his body to was a strong and strong person.
Tao Wan closed his eyes and opened the system. He saw that the original bud had grown a small pink bud. This bud represented the progress of his relationship with Wei Shicheng. The small bud proved that Wei Shicheng had some feelings for him, but there was still a gap from falling in love with him.
He remembered what the system said. When the peach blossom bloomed, the degree of openness represented the degree of the target's love for him. But only after he and the target's feelings were complete, this peach blossom would fully bloom, so he was destined to play this play for a lifetime.
Turning on the body recovery function in the system, Tao Wan fell asleep. Under the recovery of the system, when he woke up, he would not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he would be refreshed.
Since Tao Wan had been taken care of by Wei Shicheng, he naturally did not lack money, and did not need to go to the teahouse to play the piano to earn money. He could stay at home at night, either draw, tutor Du Yi, or wait for Wei Shicheng to send someone to pick him up. The Youth Cup Chinese Arts Competition was getting closer and closer, and he could prepare the works to be sent to the competition.
Wei Shicheng said that he would pick him up in two days, but he flew out of the country the next day, and the date of his return was uncertain, so Tao Wan was even more relaxed.
"Du Qingyu, come with me." Hu Wenshan packed up his things and walked out of the classroom.
Tao Wan carried the art box and followed. Hu Wenshan walked directly into his office, and Tao Wan followed in.
"Close the door." Hu Wenshan put down the art box and sat behind the desk. It was a single person office, and there was no one else except for the two of them.
After Tao Wan closed the door, he stood in front of Hu Wenshan's desk, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say.
"You have been doing very well recently. Not only have you made great progress in your studies, but you have also learned to respect your teachers more than before." Hu Wenshan tried to provoke Tao Wan on purpose a few times, but he did not succeed. When Tao Wan faced him, he was like a block of ice, cold and hard. Hu Wenshan was anxious and angry. The Youth Cup Chinese Arts Competition was getting closer and closer, and he was entrusted to do his job. Since he could not stop him from participating, he could only use other methods.
Tao Wan was expressionless as usual, waiting for him to continue.
"The Youth Cup Chinese Arts Competition is about to start. You have always been one of the top students in our grade, so I think that you have a high chance of winning this competition. Your performance has been very good recently, and you have made great progress, so I have decided to coach you individually to increase your chances of winning the competition. "
