Chapter 123 - The Boss Is A Picky Eater Tsundere? (1)

The moon on Saturday night was very nice.

The little garden outside of the mansion was basked under the silver moonlight.

Gu Shishi was lying inside a hammock. Her feet were sticking straight up. She was swaying and enjoying the cool, night breeze. Of course, she had applied insect repellent on herself first.

These cozy days were so nice. She covered her eyes with her hand and looked at the moon and the stars through the cracks between her fingers. Ideas after ideas of the night sky popped into her mind.

[Ding! Received fondness of Huo Sishen!]

Gu Shishi paused for a second and quickly her limpid eyes turned into a line from her smile. She knew that he’d like the fan. Black was elegant and mysterious, distant yet sumptuous, very much like his aura.

“Yay! Keep on going!”

She happily returned to her room to go to bed. She felt fulfilled.

While she was brushing her teeth, she sent over pictures of the fan mounts and pendants that she had ordered today over to Chen Kexin using her work cellphone.

[MeowMeow: Take a look. Which ones do you want?]

[These are all double-sided silk fan mount. I will add paintings and captions on both sides. Do you have any preference on topics? If not, I will just go with my own ideas.]

She sent the messages.

And that’s when she noticed a friend request waiting to be approved.

[I am Happy Chubster.]

Gu Shishi raised her brows. Was this a viewer from her streaming channel? Or someone who had found her through Taobao?

She didn’t think she shared her WeChat handle on her streaming channel though.

After a little while, her phone vibrated.

[MeowMeow: Please, can you please add my grandma? She is driving me nuts!]

[MeowMeow: She had asked me some 300 times since this afternoon why you haven’t added her yet… ORZ. Can we put our differences aside for now and just treat her like your regular customer, pretty please?]

She immediately sent her a down on her knees begging in tears emoji.

Obviously, this was very urgent.

Gu Shishi made a “pssst” noise, clicked out of the chat window, and looked again at the friend’s request.

[Happy Chubster is your grandma?]

Her mouth opened a bit. She immediately recalled the elegant and glorious old lady with white hair at the birthday banquet.

Old Mrs. Chen’s WeChat has so much character?

[MeowMeow: …. Yes (sweat).]

Gu Shishi apologized that she was just seeing the request right now.

[MeowMeow, you can just let me know next time. Or just give me a call. Let me send you my cell number.]

Chen Kexin, on the other end, almost wanted to cry! They were not good friends; why would she need her cell number? The direction that things were going was a bit odd.

Most importantly, her grandmother sat next to her the entire afternoon. Would she dare to prod the guru in her grandmother’s mind?

While she was thinking about all these, she heard a happy exclamation coming from next to her.

“Ah, Keke, the guru had approved me!”

Chen Kexin smiled bitterly. “Alright, grandma, you can go to bed now, right? It’s almost 11 PM.”

Old Mrs. Chen excitedly put on her bifocal glasses.She scrolled through the emoji library from her grandchildren. Finally she found an admiration emoji and sent it over.

Chen Kexin stuck her head over in resignation and said, “Alright, alright. You’ve sent it now. The guru should be turning in too.”

“Don’t rush me. I haven’t even said good night to the guru yet. Keke, don’t be so rude to the guru!”

Chen Kexin: “…..??”

Old Mrs. Chen typed a line of pleasantries before she officially said goodnight and expressed that she’d like to be able to see the guru’s work again in the future before she happily exited WeChat.

After she had removed her bifocal glasses, she saw the speechless look on her granddaughter. She couldn't help but shook her head.

“You are too young to appreciate the essence of the painting.

“That Mystical Peach Painting only cost you 30,000 yuan because this guru didn’t care about money and didn’t ask for an astronomical price.”

Chen Kexin immediately thought about the young and pretty face of Gu Shishi and all the horrible things that Pingting had said about her.

Feeling unjust, she grumbled in a low voice. “I don’t think she is that lofty.”

Old Mrs. Chen chuckled.

“You know that painting of Fairies Offering Up Birthday Congratulations that we have at home?”

Chen Kexin paused for a little bit. Fairies Offering Up Birthday Congratulations was a painting that her aunty had purchased in an auction overseas. It cost 85 million yuan.

“Grandma, is her painting really that good?”

She knew that Gu Shishi’s paintings were good, but isn’t that a bit much comparing it with something like Fairies Offering Up Birthday Congratulations?

That was a painting by the current number one ink painting artist in the world!
