Ma Teng looked at the little girl in front of him with curiosity, and said with a smile: "When I saw her today, Miss Cao was different from what the world had heard."
Cao Ai smiled slightly: "So Ma finally agrees to our cooperation."
"Ms. Cao can help us provide creative ideas for free, and she will definitely gain market recognition. Is there any reason why I don't agree?" Ma Teng stood up with a smile and handed her a personal business card.
"Contact me when you finish the drawing." After Ma Teng finished speaking, he looked at his watch and then looked at the hall of the Chamber of Commerce. He didn't want to waste too much time with a little girl.
Cao Aiqian saw the look on his face, stood up, shook hands with him and said goodbye.
She looked toward the center of the chamber of commerce and saw Cao Kouwen chatting enthusiastically with some people. She didn't want to listen to these hypocritical and polite words, so she quietly sat in an inconspicuous corner and conceived the painting of Little Q's head.
The Chamber of Commerce didn't end until 10:30 pm, and it was already 10:45 pm when they got home.
After she took a shower, she was lying on the bed in her nightgown, ready to rest. The door to the room was suddenly opened from the outside, and a tall, slender figure walked in from the door.
"Brother?" After seeing the person clearly, Cao Ai was slightly startled.
"Yes." Cao Kouwen responded and closed the door, "Ai Qian, I want to talk to you."
Chat? What did the two of them have to talk about? Cao Aiqian was confused.
Cao Kouwen walked straight over, sat on the rocking chair in her room and said with a serious face: "When did you learn to draw?"
Cao Aiqian was speechless for a moment, and his eyes looked away in panic: "I... I actually have my own reasons."
"Tell me about it!" Cao Kouwen put his hands behind his head and looked at her lazily.
Cao Aiqian lowered his head and mumbled: "Actually, I have been secretly learning painting a long time ago. Probably after my father passed away, my mother became seriously ill again."
She pretended to rub her eyes and continued with a sad look on her face: "I'm afraid that after they pass away, if someone abuses me, I have to learn a technique just in case!"
After Cao Aiqian finished speaking, she secretly glanced at his brother. She was not very sure that he would believe such a false reason.
"Abuse? Self-defense? You mean me?" Cao Kouwen looked at her with a playful face and pointed at himself.
"Ah... no!" Cao Aiqian waved her hand in a panic.
What you said is so stupid! After his parents passed away, his brother Cao Kou Wen was the only one!
Cao Kouwen slowly stood up from the rocking chair, "Forget it, I won't urge you if you don't want to say it. Go to bed early!" He finished straightening his clothes and went out.
The next day, Cao Aiqian went to the studio after school. As soon as he walked to the door of the studio, he saw Xiao Yuanchen already sitting inside, concentrating on painting something! .
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Xiao Yuanchen put down the pen in his hand, "That's right, I'm pretty lonely alone!"
Cao Aiqian rolled her eyes at him, then took out paper and pen and started drawing.
Neither of them liked to talk while they were drawing, and they could only hear the slight rustling of paper!
After about half an hour, Xiao Yuanchen stood up and was about to walk over to take a look at her painting. She hurriedly hid the painting behind her and said with a guilty conscience: "Don't come over. My painting is not for others to see."
"Oh!" Xiao Yuanchen shrugged, sat back in his seat and continued painting.
Cao Aiqian looked at him secretly, then lowered his head and ignored him.
I don’t know how long it took, but Cao Aiqian finally completed the first draft of Little Q’s portrait in the studio.
She stretched and looked at Xiao Yuanchen. He seems to have already finished his work.
"I'm ready to go home!" Cao Aiqian said to Xiao Yuanchen while packing away the painting supplies.
"Oops! I forgot to get my house key." Then she heard Cao Aiqian muttering in a panic. If she remembered correctly, her aunt was on vacation today.
She had no choice but to call Cao Kouwen. When she learned that he was working overtime at the company, she was ready to go to the company to find him.
"How about I send you there!" Xiao Yuanchen had already packed up his painting tools and said with a smile on his face.
"Won't this... bother you?" Cao Aiqian scratched his head in embarrassment.
Xiao Yuanchen was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You used to trouble me a lot, but after you drowned, you really seemed like a different person."
Cao Aiqian smiled awkwardly.
As night falls, the whole city is shrouded in dim lights, making it beautiful.
Xiao Yuanchen's car slowly drove out of the school gate, and he looked at Cao Aiqian behind him through the reflector.
The car stopped in front of a cold drink shop. Xiao Yuanchen walked over and bought an ice cream and handed it to Cao Aiqian.
"I remember that you liked the durian ice cream from this stall. I just happened to pass by today!"
Xiao Yuanchen couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart when he looked at Cao Aiqian's innocent and cute face.
I hate eating durian the most! Cao Aiqian took the ice cream with an awkward smile but didn't want to take a bite.
She remembered that the original owner liked to eat this durian-flavored ice cream!
Soon the car drove into the office building of Shengfeng Group. After saying goodbye to Xiao Yuanchen briefly, she walked into the elevator.
Xiao Yuanchen looked at her back, his eyes gradually softened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After Cao Aiqian stepped out of the elevator, she went straight to the CEO's office. Just as she was about to open the door and enter, she heard Cao Kouwen making a phone call inside. The content seemed to be related to her.
So, she tiptoed out and stood by the wall outside the president's office, placing her ears against it and listening carefully to the conversation inside.
Cao Kouwen said in a serious tone: "Has your orphanage checked Cao Aiqian's file? Are you sure she is not a twin?"
Cao Aiqian was startled when he heard this, twins?
Could it be...
Cao Kouwen is doubting her! Do you suspect that she is not Cao Aiqian? Do you suspect that the person she rescued from drowning was a twin sister?
What a bloody plot! Cao Aiqian couldn't help rolling her eyes, and then turned her gaze to the door of the office.
She pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"After checking, she is indeed Cao Aiqian! She was sent to the orphanage after her parents died. She was adopted by your parents afterwards." A strange female voice sounded.
"Okay, I understand!" Cao Kouwen said in a calm tone and hung up the phone.
Seeing that there was no sound inside, Cao Aiqian deliberately arranged her clothes, pretended not to hear anything, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
"Brother, I'm here to get the key."
"Wait for me to go home together." Cao Kouwen sorted out the pile of documents in front of him without raising his head.
Cao Aiqian helplessly sat down on the sofa to wait for him. Unknowingly, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.
After Cao Kouwen finished his work, he discovered that Cao Aiqian was sleeping soundly.
Her face was reddish, she was breathing evenly, her long and curled eyelashes were trembling like two small fans, and her lips were so delicate that they looked like freshly picked cherries that made people want to take a bite.
An unusual impulse arose in Cao Kouwen's heart. His eyes fell on Cao Ai's pink lips and refused to leave for a long time.
He picked up Cao Aiqian, walked out of the office, put her in the car, started the car, and drove to his villa.
After Cao Kouwen returned home, he gently placed her on the bed. His fingers touched Cao Aiqian's forehead lightly, feeling the height of her body temperature, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Cao Kouwen looked at her sleeping and murmured: "I know you are not the Cao Aiqian you used to be, but my brother likes you very much now."
The next morning, the sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the petite figure on the big bed.
She opened her big, watery eyes and stared at the white ceiling above her head in a daze.
Where is this? Didn't she fall asleep in Cao Kouwen's office last night?
It was Cao Kouwen who sent him back.
Forget it, I’m too lazy to care!
Thinking of this, she got up, opened the wardrobe, put on a formal dress, sat in front of the dressing mirror and put on light makeup. He was going to see Ma Teng today, and she wanted to show him her first draft of yesterday's plan.
Once Ma Teng approves, she will receive a design fee. This money is enough for her to leave here and rent a house outside, so that her brother will not continue to doubt her identity.
Although she knew with a high probability that Cao Kouwen would not be able to find any useful information, but since she was far away from him, she had no constraints and could do whatever she wanted!
"Hey, Mr. Ma? I'm here to talk to you about the painting plan for Little Q's avatar!" Cao Aiqian walked out the door and called Ma Teng's mobile phone number.
