Foolishly Flirting with the White Moonlight Leads to Being Marked - Chapter 11

It was quite easy to deal with this kind of love-brained person. Yan Qingqiu acted so vividly that it was very hard to tell she was tricking Luo Xi.

Luo Xi was very pleased with herself and scolded her in an especially annoying way.

Yan Qingqiu got worked up, her fists clenching tighter and tighter.

Su Xingjie grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. “Enough, Qiu-bao. Let’s ignore her. Don’t hit her.”

If Su Xingjie had not stopped her, Yan Qingqiu probably would have rushed up and torn Luo Xi’s face apart. Luo Xi deliberately tossed her card into the staff member’s hand. “Go. Put a sold tag on that painting and write my name on it.”

The assistant looked at Yan Qingqiu, then at Luo Xi beside her, unable to come up with a solution for a moment. Neither of these two could be offended.

“Xiaoxue, go put a sold tag on the painting for Miss Luo. I’ll handle things here.” Song Qingre walked over and stood between them, placing her hand on Yan Qingqiu’s shoulder. Yan Qingqiu instinctively trembled slightly and leaned into her arms. Seeing that she was about to embarrass herself again, she immediately tilted her head and threw a harsh threat at Luo Xi. “Just you wait.”

Luo Xi did not wait for her. In one breath, she pointed at several paintings and bought them, buy, buy, buy. She clearly did not care about these mere millions.

Song Qingre patted Yan Qingqiu’s shoulder. “All right.” After saying that, she wrapped an arm around Yan Qingqiu’s shoulders. Su Xingjie had originally been grabbing Yan Qingqiu’s wrist, but now she was pushed aside and had to let go.

Song Qingre held Yan Qingqiu’s hand and led her away from there.

Su Xingjie frowned beside them, feeling that something was not quite right.

There were too many onlookers, so Song Qingre’s secretary and assistant came out to smooth things over. “There’s no helping it. Mainly, Qingre’s paintings are too good, and everyone likes them.”

“Yes. The paintings displayed here are all excellent works. We didn’t expect everyone to start arguing over them. This really is our fault.”

The painting would definitely be taken by Luo Xi. As for how to handle the other person, offending either of these two would not be good, right?

Tsk.

The matter of Song Qingre being forcefully kissed was not a secret in their circle. Back then, it had directly exploded onto the trending searches, even more popular than Yan Qingqiu knocking Fu Ye’s head crooked. It was just that someone had bought the topic down, causing it to only flash briefly on the hot search list.

Yan Qingqiu was led to the sofa farther inside. Song Qingre crouched slightly and said, “All right, don’t cry anymore. I’ll take you to look at other paintings?”

Hearing her speak, Yan Qingqiu really did feel a little wronged. If she had money and could buy out this whole place, she would not have had to suffer like this…

“No need. I’m not angry at all.”

She had gotten too into the act, and tears fell.

Yan Qingqiu immediately tried to cover for herself. “I did it on purpose.”

“Mm. You’re smarter than her.”

Song Qingre smiled faintly, bent down, took a tissue, and handed it to her. Yan Qingqiu did not take it, so Song Qingre lowered her head and wiped her tears for her.

Her tone and movements were both very gentle, making Yan Qingqiu’s heart beat wildly at high speed like she had drunk several cups of coffee. It was a little too sweet. Song Qingre was far too gentle.

Yan Qingqiu felt like she was done for. She was about to start getting lustful again.

“Which painting do you like? I’ll give it to you. How about that?” Song Qingre lowered her voice and said, “Choose whichever one you want.”

Yan Qingqiu’s eyes glanced at the painting on the wall beside them and brightened slightly. She said cleverly, “How about this? I’ll take one painting from you, and it’ll count as canceling out that one million. We’ll settle the matter like that.”

“Ah? That won’t do.” Song Qingre shook her head. “Money is money, and paintings are paintings. I’m giving you a painting as thanks, not to earn your money. We artists have integrity. You’re insulting me too much.”

“I—how is that an insult? This is courtesy exchanged for courtesy.” Yan Qingqiu was made to stammer by her. “This way, we can be even and coexist peacefully.”

“Oh, you gave me one million and also helped me sell paintings. And then… mm, no way. You just want me to kiss you that day? Are you doing charity?”

Song Qingre frowned and sighed heavily. “Fine. Since you’ve given so much, I’ll offer myself to you. Tonight, you can do whatever you want with me.”

“…”

Yan Qingqiu pursed her lips. Looking at Song Qingre’s sexy outfit today, she swallowed and said, “No need. You should just pay me back. We should maintain a relationship of money and flesh.”

After saying that, she heard a laugh.

Song Qingre curved her lips. “All right. Then think about what gift you want. You can tell me, and I’ll treat it as my thanks.” Her voice lowered. “I know you were helping me just now.”

Yan Qingqiu was not stupid. Helping someone required a reward.

She did not refuse. This was like a mall discount with a free gift. It would be a waste not to take it. Maybe one day it could even save her life.

She nodded. “Go do your work. I want to be alone.”

“Who is Alone?” Song Qingre asked back.

Yan Qingqiu had not expected her to play such an old joke. She felt it was cold, yet also wanted to laugh.

When Su Xingjie came over and saw that Yan Qingqiu had been coaxed into smiling, both her eyes flashed. She had listened in a daze. What money and flesh?

Song Qingre raised her eyes and looked at Su Xingjie. Su Xingjie felt a slight chill run through her body. Bracing herself, she said, “We still need to buy paintings. Go do your work. I’m here.”

Song Qingre’s assistant also came over, saying that several bosses were looking for her and asking her to go over and help explain the paintings. Song Qingre stood up and said, “All right. Then I’ll trouble you to take care of Qiuqiu for me. If you need anything, call me. Xiaoxue, go get two cups of water.”

After Song Qingre left, a staff member brought over fruit juice. Two drinks: one was citrus sparkling water, and the other was white tea. The staff member gave the citrus sparkling water to Yan Qingqiu.

Su Xingjie was holding an ordinary cup. She looked at Yan Qingqiu’s triangular glass cup, which even came with a glass straw.

“?” Different treatment?

While visiting the exhibition, Su Xingjie kept staring at the cup.

Two paintings hung in the most eye-catching place in the exhibition center. There was no price marked on them. One was of falling snow, a vast expanse of white with only a few black dots scattered in the middle. Yan Qingqiu had only one thought after looking at it: “So this is art? If it were me, I could paint this too!”

Yan Qingqiu recognized the other one. It was the painting of the rose bush and the plum tree.

She stared at it in a trance.

A staff member beside her took the initiative to introduce it. “This is a painting Miss Song created when she was in university. It is also one of her earliest works. She said this was the most deeply memorable scene in her life. Later, it won three gold awards.”

Yan Qingqiu asked about the price. The staff member shook their head and said it had no price and was not for sale.

During this time, they ran into Luo Xi. Luo Xi bought four paintings in one breath right in front of her. Even her walk was full of wind. Luo Xi was quite happy. Buying paintings made her God, more noble than Song Qingre. Yan Qingqiu had also been scolded by her until she could not lift her head. Luo Xi had won a complete victory.

Yan Qingqiu clicked her tongue and shook her head inwardly.

Such a good girl. How was she such a hopeless love-brain?

After making two more rounds, Yan Qingqiu used a calculator to total the prices, estimating how much money Song Qingre had earned and whether she could afford to return her one million. It seemed Song Qingre had earned three million today.

One million to settle the debt, one million for Song Qingre’s costs, and one million in profit. That should be enough, right? But what if her studio needed money to operate…

Ai, not enough.

As she calculated, it grew late. The two of them went to the touch-up room. Su Xingjie held her lipstick and examined Yan Qingqiu, then said softly, “Baby, isn’t Song Qingre acting a little strange toward you?”

Yan Qingqiu denied it. “How?”

Yan Qingqiu had not brought a bag today. In the real world, she rarely wore makeup. Her salary had been meager, so one or two lipsticks for work had been enough.

Su Xingjie found an unopened lipstick for her. Yan Qingqiu spotted a soft measuring tape in her bag and said, “Let me use this.”

“You want to measure your chest?” Su Xingjie had made clothes for her many times before and understood her very well. “I know your measurements clearly. I—wait, isn’t it…” She said in shock, “Heavens, you’re having secondary development? You suddenly grew this much? You’re almost catching up to me.”

Yan Qingqiu was afraid the moment she heard those words. She lowered her head to look at Su Xingjie’s numbers and see how arrogant she had to be to say “catching up.”

She was too embarrassed to say that today, as long as she touched Song Qingre, her chest felt swollen, especially sensitive.

It was actually two centimeters bigger than before. Heavens…

Just then, the door opened.

Song Qingre stood at the doorway, narrowing her eyes as she looked at the two of them.

Yan Qingqiu instantly withdrew her gaze and stood up straight.

Song Qingre looked at them, her lips curving. She did not speak. She only picked up a lipstick and applied it to her lips. After touching up her makeup, she looked at them again with an even more complicated gaze, then nodded at Yan Qingqiu.

After she left, Su Xingjie softly asked Yan Qingqiu, “Was she looking down on you for having a small chest? Or was she saying, ‘You actually dare cheat? You’re dead’?”

Yan Qingqiu was shocked. Sister, was it that obvious?

Su Xingjie read the look in her eyes again and said, “Very obvious. In the past, when she looked at us, she always looked straight ahead and treated us like air. Now, not only does she glance sideways, when she looks at you, she looks at your chest first. When she looks at me, she only looks at my face. That’s a bit of different treatment.”

“What if your chest is small?”

Su Xingjie looked at herself and said, “Baby, did you forget? I’m an Omega. I’m naturally bigger than you Alphas.”

“Since you understand me so well, I won’t hide it from you.”

“Are you and Song Qingre going to let go of past grudges?” Su Xingjie still remembered Yan Qingqiu forcefully kissing Song Qingre and felt it definitely went far beyond that. “It can’t be that you two have taken a liking to each other, right?”

“…No, why are you so wild the moment you open your mouth?” Yan Qingqiu pulled this all-knowing expert over. Naturally, she could not talk about her bodhisattva-like behavior. That would ruin her character too much. She brought out the evil-woman routine. “Of course it’s to destroy Song Qingre and make her completely controlled by me. From now on, she won’t be able to escape my palm. I’ll toy with her ruthlessly.”

“You’re being too cruel.” Su Xingjie sincerely reminded her, “If one day you fall into her hands, you’ll be beaten to death.”

“Don’t say such discouraging things.” Yan Qingqiu rolled up the soft measuring tape and handed it back to her. Su Xingjie opened the door, paused, then turned to look at Yan Qingqiu.

Yan Qingqiu frowned and took two steps forward, only to see Song Qingre. Her toes scraped against the ground. Nimbly, she leaned against the doorframe and stabilized herself before her body could soften.

Song Qingre had not played by common sense. After coming out, she had not left. Song Qingre glanced at her, an unreadable smile on her lips. “Did you have fun?”

What did that mean?

Yan Qingqiu instantly found it hard to breathe. Her mind turned, and she said calmly, “Yes. I don’t have many other hobbies. I just like big chests.”

After saying that, Yan Qingqiu was simply delighted.

Song Qingre was an Alpha, so she definitely could not be bigger than an Omega. When the time came, Yan Qingqiu could directly say, “Song Qingre, you’re not my type. Let’s end the keeping contract.” Wouldn’t the problem be solved then?

The art exhibition lasted three days, and today ended at dusk.

Yan Qingqiu directly left the exhibition. She did not see her family’s car, so she frowned and called the butler. The butler picked up quickly and said, “Didn’t Miss Song say you wanted her to send you back? She also said that if she didn’t send you today, you’d make her regret it.”

That was her tone.

But this was not what she said. Butler, you are far too unprofessional!

As she was listening, Song Qingre walked over. After a whole day of work, she looked rather tired. She held her car keys and said, “Mm. I’m the one who told Uncle Dong that. Let’s go back together. It just so happens we can talk about the contract.”

Su Xingjie was quite shocked. She knew Song Qingre was staying at Yan Qingqiu’s house, but she had not expected Song Qingre to have stayed there for two weeks. She felt something was wrong and said, “Do you want to stay at my house?”

Yan Qingqiu had just wanted to nod.

Song Qingre got into the car. The headlights turned on, and the window lowered, revealing half her face. She said, “Here’s the thing. I received several transfers today. Can I spend money to cancel the contract terms? I don’t want to be toyed with by you…”

“Okay.” Yan Qingqiu bit down on the offer in one mouthful. “Xingjie, I’ll discuss things with her.”

Yan Qingqiu opened the car door. She lowered her head and fastened her seatbelt. She still wanted to say something, but Song Qingre directly drove away.

As long as the two of them finished handling the contract, everything would be fine.

However, her intuition told her Song Qingre was angry.

Angry because she had just said she liked big chests?

Surely not…

The car began speeding up, then slowed down later. Outside, the sky gradually darkened.

Song Qingre said, “The exhibition has been quite busy, so I haven’t had time to thank you. Sorry to trouble you with today’s matter.”

Her gentle tone carried a deep exhaustion. “I knew about Luo Xi’s matter, and Fu Ye knew too. But Fu Ye wanted me to be unable to sell my paintings so that I would be controlled by him later.”

The male lead was truly disgusting. Being the female lead was also quite hard.

The car stopped midway.

Yan Qingqiu had been looking at the scenery. She turned her head to look at Song Qingre. Song Qingre held the steering wheel, her fingertips tapping lightly against it.

“What are you doing? Why aren’t you driving?”

She heard Song Qingre sigh.

“Ai. Originally, I thought you liked paintings, so I wanted to give you some paintings or something. I didn’t expect you liked this. It was my mistake. I should have thought of it. Clearly, your desire is so strong and you’re so perverted, yet I still can’t match you.”

“?”

Yan Qingqiu listened in a fog, but when the fog cleared, she understood inwardly and immediately felt that this was bad.

Song Qingre opened the drawer in the car, and several soft measuring tapes fell out.

“Ai.”

Yan Qingqiu’s body trembled. She only retreated backward, shaking off those soft measuring tapes. “You, you’re an artist. Can you have a little integrity?”

“Art is not ashamed of the surface. It is ashamed of the heart.”

Yan Qingqiu blinked.

Good grief, she did not understand. “What does that mean?”

“Although my flesh is being toyed with by you, my heart is clean.”

“I… no.” Yan Qingqiu grew even dizzier and pointed at the contract on the center console. “Didn’t you say you’d pay me back? Why are you dragging the reward into this again?”

“Yes. We can’t confuse paying back money with a reward,” Song Qingre said.

There was something wrong with those words. Yan Qingqiu was just about to ponder them when Song Qingre interrupted her again.

“Qiuqiu, the atmosphere has already been built up to this point.” Song Qingre narrowed her eyes and looked her up and down. Her fingers rubbed the steering wheel, and her gaze landed on Yan Qingqiu’s face. She said seriously, “Are you incapable?”

Author’s Note:

At a time like this, will Qiuqiu still keep being stubborn?

Hehehe.
