The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 195 - How Could She Become Li Juefeng's Mistress 1

“Housekeeper Tong, should these art supplies be thrown away too?”

“Yes, throw them away.”

Gu Xiaoai looked over and saw a young maid struggling to carry a heavy load of art supplies outside. Curious, Gu Xiaoai approached and asked, “Aren’t these art supplies quite new?”

“We’re getting a new batch of art supplies tomorrow, so the old ones have to go,” Housekeeper Tong explained hurriedly.

Why not donate them instead? Such a waste.

“Give me some paper,” Gu Xiaoai quickly stepped forward, taking a small hardboard sketchpad from the maid’s hands. As she felt the thin sheets of paper, she asked with some doubt, “Does anyone in the house paint?”

“No, but there’s a studio on the third floor.”

Gu Xiaoai paused, holding the sketch pencil.

So they replace art supplies regularly just for a studio? That’s what having too much money to spend looks like.

But the quality of this sketch pencil is really good. It’s been a while since she last drew.

Her dad had once hired a painting teacher for her, but she found it boring and dragged Chu Shixiu along to the classes.

Even back then, Chu Shixiu’s ink paintings were praised by the teacher for having an ethereal quality, mature beyond his years.

As for her… she only liked drawing portraits.

“Housekeeper Tong, don’t move,” Gu Xiaoai said, holding the sketch pencil and stopping Housekeeper Tong from leaving.

Startled by her sudden command, Housekeeper Tong froze, leaving only her back visible to Gu Xiaoai. “Miss Gu, what do you want to do?”

It seemed she had frightened Housekeeper Tong.

Gu Xiaoai set the art supplies aside and helped Housekeeper Tong sit on the sofa, apologizing, “I just got the itch to draw. Let me sketch a portrait of you.”

“Oh, Miss Gu can draw?” Housekeeper Tong asked, sitting stiffly on the sofa, looking surprised.

“Yes, I learned when I was young.” Gu Xiaoai pulled over a high stool, set up the sketchpad, and began to draw intently.

She had a privileged upbringing and learned all sorts of things.

Her dad always said she was a girl of many talents.

Sitting idly on the sofa, Housekeeper Tong couldn’t help but chat with her, “Miss Gu, your hands are so beautiful, like those of a pianist.”

Pianist’s hands…

Playing the piano isn’t that hard.

Gu Xiaoai continued sketching, and hearing this, she couldn’t help but smile, “I can play a little piano too, something I learned as a child.”
