Not seeing Rui Rui from the moment they arrived, he only ran over from Xu Yanchuan’s side now.
Zhan Beijue couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.
What was wrong with these two children today? Was Xu Yanchuan that charming?
The moment they saw him, they abandoned their own father and ran to him to act cute?
He walked over to Rui Rui with a grim expression.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to see the art exhibition? You came but I didn’t see you. Where did you go?”
“I had a bit of a stomachache just now, I went to the restroom. I didn’t run around, Daddy.”
The little fellow’s attitude was good. He admitted his mistake right away, so Zhan Beijue naturally didn’t press the issue.
“There’s a power outage. Don’t run around. If you feel unwell, tell me, and I’ll take you.”
Rui Rui quickly took his sister’s hand. “Okay, Daddy, what are we doing now?”
“I’m going to help Aunt Gong see what the problem is. You two follow.”
Mommy was signing books under the scorching sun to earn money, and he was thinking of helping this woman here?
Rui Rui was very unhappy.
“The art exhibition is so boring, I don’t want to see it anymore. Daddy, why don’t you send me and sister back?”
It was indeed quite boring.
And with the situation that had occurred, he was worried about the safety of the two little ones here.
Zhan Beijue thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll take you back first.”
The three of them walked out hand in hand.
At the entrance, Gong Beibei was just rushing in in a panic, accompanied by a woman wearing a mask.
The woman had delicate eyebrows and eyes. Although she was wearing a mask, Zhan Beijue recognized her at a glance. Wasn’t this Jiang Nanfang?
Why did she come here too?
And she knew Gong Beibei?
“A Jue, where are you going?”
Seeing Zhan Beijue pulling the children out, Gong Beibei stopped.
Jiang Nanfang hadn’t expected to run into them here.
Hearing Gong Beibei say the exhibition hall had a power outage, she rushed over to help without thinking, but unexpectedly…
Zhan Beijue didn’t want to deal with Jiang Nanfang and pretended not to know her.
With a faint expression, he said, “I’m taking the children back first, and I’ll come back later.”
Gong Beibei felt a little embarrassed.
“I didn’t expect something like this to happen today. The staff are too unreliable. I’m sorry to have made you witness this.”
“But it’s good that this lady said she could fix it. I asked her to help me fix it. Do you want to wait before leaving?”
Jiang Nanfang was here to help fix the electricity?
How could it be such a coincidence? Did she have business here too?
The two little ones instantly didn’t want to leave.
“Daddy, since we’re already here, why don’t we wait before leaving?”
“…”
“I’ve never seen how someone fixes electricity before. Let’s watch. Auntie, can I go and see too?”
Rui Rui winked slyly at Jiang Nanfang. Just as Gong Beibei was about to stop him, Jiang Nanfang smiled at him.
“Sure. As long as you’re not afraid of danger, come along.”
The two children ran over and took her hands, and the three of them turned back.
Rui Rui told Jiang Nanfang as they walked, “Mommy, I was the one who caused the power outage. It’s broken in the restroom. Why are you being so kind as to fix it for her?”
Jiang Nanfang was surprised. “It was you who broke it? Why? Did she offend you?”
“Hmph. She wants to be Daddy’s girlfriend and has been living in our house for so long without leaving. I get annoyed whenever I see her.”
So, the beautiful and wealthy woman who lived at Zhan’s house that the children had mentioned before was her.
Jiang Nanfang regretted her helpfulness.
Zhan Beijue’s girlfriend, he himself wasn’t in a hurry to help, yet he let his ex-wife rush to do it!
But then she thought about it.
Never mind.
Since she was already here, and they had no enmity, she would just consider it an act of kindness.
Xu Yanchuan came to Gong Beibei and asked if she had found anyone to fix the electricity.
Gong Beibei complained to him, “What a terrible place you found. They made such a basic mistake right at the beginning, making me lose face.”
“Good intentions are not rewarded. I didn’t know something like this would happen…”
“But fortunately, there’s a cartoonist outside holding a signing event, and she knows how to fix it. Let’s give it a shot.”
A cartoonist? A signing event?
Zhan Beijue and Xu Yanchuan simultaneously cast curious glances at her.
Gong Beibei went to the entrance and pointed to the queue for them to see.
“Look, it’s that signing event. Ugly Rabbit Miss and Tiger Gentleman. The names are so poorly chosen, it shows a lack of literary talent. But the person is quite enthusiastic.”
“…”
Both men simultaneously cast their scrutinizing gazes at her again.
After all, she was helping you. It’s not very appropriate to criticize someone’s work like that, is it?
Gong Beibei didn’t feel she had gone too far at all. After speaking, she sighed.
“Alright, I’ll go see how she’s handling it. You two chat first. Keep the other guests steady for me.”
With his height advantage, Zhan Beijue could clearly see the banner in the open space a few meters away.
The popular cartoonists Ugly Rabbit Miss and Tiger Gentleman’s first offline signing event – this woman, besides designing circuit breakers, is also in the cultural industry?
How many days has she been back in Nancheng?
Coincidentally, she chose the event location next to Gong Beibei’s, and it started on the same day as her art exhibition.
What a calculating woman.
They had agreed not to meet again, but she would do anything to gain my attention.
Xu Yanchuan saw him staring blankly over there for a long time and casually asked.
“Do you know that author?”
Know her?
Hmph.
He wouldn’t know someone who invested in such a culturally insignificant product.
“No.”
Zhan Beijue replied coldly and turned to enter the hall.
Just as his foot stepped into the exhibition hall, the bright lights were restored.
A small cheer erupted from the exhibition hall. Soon, Jiang Nanfang came out with the two children from the restroom.
With the lights shining on her beautiful dress, Gong Beibei regained her confidence and hurried into the crowd to apologize to everyone.
Seeing that she couldn’t even be bothered to say a polite word to Mommy, Rui Rui became even more furious.
“We shouldn’t have helped her. She’s a selfish woman. As long as I’m here, she’ll never be Daddy’s girlfriend, not even in death.”
“Exactly.” Ge’er even saw Gong Beibei silently despising Mommy’s cartoons as unrefined.
She was so angry she wanted to curse, “Mommy, don’t be a good person randomly anymore. This woman is hypocritical and not worth it at all.”
“Got it. I won’t do it again.” Jiang Nanfang also felt that she had gone crazy today to come and show off.
“Alright. We’ve been delayed there for so long, and the fans are anxious. I’ll go back first. We’ll talk later tonight.”
Xu Yanchuan watched as Jiang Nanfang walked step by step towards him and Zhan Beijue.
Those delicate and gentle eyebrows, graceful figure, clear skin…
Strange. He seemed to know this woman.
However, Jiang Nanfang didn’t even give them an extra glance, walking past the two men and out of the exhibition hall.
Playing hard to get?
Zhan Beijue watched her walk past without even looking at him and thought, If you have the guts, do as you say and never appear before me again!
Just appearing without speaking, what kind of skill is that!
“Rui Rui, Ge’er, let’s go. This place is not suitable for you. Let’s go home.”
Gong Beibei wasn’t paying attention, and Zhan Beijue took the children and left again.
Xu Yanchuan, with nothing to do and his curiosity piqued, took out his phone and searched for the cartoon’s name.
Soon, he was greatly surprised.
He hadn’t expected that the cartoon’s name, which didn’t look like much, would be so popular online.
The author, Miss Rabbit, had over 2 million Weibo followers.
Each issue serialized on Weibo had tens of millions of views, and the comments and likes ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
This traffic was comparable to top-tier celebrities!
It seemed the content was quite interesting.
Since he had nothing else to do, he started reading on Weibo.
The more he read, the more captivated he became.
The cartoon’s concept was very clever.
It used the images of two animals to interpret the love, hate, and grudges between a man and a woman.
The story was full of twists and turns, truly novel and captivating.
Xu Yanchuan was originally worrying about the theme and content of his first work after returning to China. As he read, he suddenly had an idea.
