Chapter 210 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am his brother (9)
Ruan Guannan's paintings are very different from her own personality. There are scenes and people, but each painting displays a blooming vitality, as if clamoring to break through the drawing paper and come alive in reality.
Some of the works on display in the exhibition include her first immature works in her life, as well as well-known paintings that have won international awards.
From the exhibitions at different stages, we can see that Ruan Guannan’s skills have grown from immature to mature, and his style has also changed from being single at the beginning to being familiar and varied now.
No matter what they were like, they all received praise and admiration from the people present, and even several works were successfully auctioned, with very high prices offered.
Even Xie Jinyi followed suit and took a photo.
Looking at the painting he indicated he wanted to buy, it was her most recent painting and the first time she had shown it to the public.
It is a bunch of orchids depicted in white paint against a black background, quietly blooming on the canvas.
Ruan Guannan was somewhat puzzled by his obsession with this painting.
It’s not that she thinks her work is bad, but Xie Jinyi gave her too much!
Ruan Guannan smiled at the onlookers, pulled his wrist unnoticeably and left the crowd.
When they came to a corner with few people, Ruan Guannan leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"Mr. Xie, if you like this painting, I can give it to you privately, so you don't have to spend the same money as them."
The shallow breath hit his ear, causing Xie Jinyi to shudder.
His whole body was surrounded by the subtle fragrance from her body, which made him a little dazed for a moment. He subconsciously turned his head to look over and met her beautiful, hazy eyes.
He stared at her absentmindedly for a moment, and his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.
Xie Jinyi felt that if he hadn't tried hard to suppress it, he would probably have been unable to control himself and kissed her.
He quickly looked away, and after realizing what she said, he couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness in his heart.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, and said softly:
"I like it and of course I want to exchange it for the same value, which is what it deserves."
Ruan Guannan was stunned, bewitched by the affection in his eyes and the gentle voice. Her face turned completely red in an instant, and her beautiful pupils were full of water, reflecting only him.
Xie Jinyi's breathing stagnated, and a fire suddenly ignited in his heart. The fragile rationality in his mind kept pulling at each other, trying his best to restrain him who was struggling.
Xie Jinyi lowered his head, getting closer and closer to that desire, until the moment their noses touched. Ruan Guannan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly turned his head to avoid Xie Jinyi.
Xie Jinyi also quickly turned sideways, held his forehead and tried to calm down his nearly collapsed rationality, feeling extremely upset at his own recklessness just now.
When he turned around, Ruan Guannan had already disappeared.
Xie Jinyi closed his eyes and punched the wall in shame and anger, hoping to use the pain to stimulate his gradually weakening sanity.
In the end, the orchid was bought by Xie Jinyi at a sky-high price. Ruan Guannan, who wanted to avoid him, had to pretend to be calm and hand the painting to him personally.
Before she turned around and left, she heard the man solemnly whispered:
"I will take good care of it."
After experiencing the shock of what had just happened, Ruan Guannan felt that there was something else behind his words, with a hint of indescribable sadness, as if he cherished more than just the painting.
When Ruan Guannan heard this, she was at a loss and hurriedly left his side.
After the exhibition ended, Ruan Guannan went out and, as expected, saw the man leaning on the car, staring at her without blinking.
Ruan Guannan felt uncomfortable being stared at. After hesitating for a long time, he finally walked over and whispered:
"I can take a taxi back, you don't have to wait for me..."
Xie Jinyi shook his head and looked at her seriously.
"I wanted to tell you in person that I'm sorry..."
He wanted to say, sorry, he didn't mean it, but no matter how he thought back on the situation at that time, it didn't connect with what he said.
But he was still afraid that Ruan Guannan would deliberately avoid him like before, so he shamelessly wanted to make the matter known to her, even though he thought she would not accept it.
As expected, Ruan Guannan had a tense face and spoke stiffly:
"Mr. Xie, I will pretend that what happened just now never happened. Don't do this again in the future."
She was so gentle even when she scolded him, which made Xie Jinyi's heart flutter. It had no effect at all, but he still nodded and agreed to her words.
"Okay, I won't do that again."
"Let me take you home. Uncle Zhang has already sent your car for repair. I'm afraid it will take three or four days to be repaired."
Ruan Guannan glanced at the driver who was already sitting in the driver's seat, and nodded in agreement.
The two sat side by side in the back row. Compared to when they came, the atmosphere now was eerily silent.
Just when Xie Jinyi thought that the journey would pass by like this, something unexpected happened.
The car was suddenly hit hard from behind, and Xie Jinyi and Ruan Guannan fell forward uncontrollably.
Ruan Guannan's forehead unexpectedly hit the back of the chair in front of him, and it instantly turned red.
She summoned the prop card and lightly hooked her finger. Their car was originally out of control and was about to hit the tanker truck in front of them. However, pulled by an obscure and uncontrollable force, their car changed direction and crashed into the guardrail on the side.
Xie Jinyi reacted quickly and immediately hugged the person next to him and the painting, holding her head tightly in his arms.
He suffered a second impact and groaned uncontrollably.
The airbag on the driver's seat had already popped out. Although it looked terrible, everyone in the car was still conscious.
Xie Jinyi didn't dare to delay. He stretched out his intact leg and kicked the deformed car door open. He picked up Ruan Guannan and Hua and rushed out.
The driver followed closely behind, keeping far away from the car.
Ruan Guannan raised his dizzy head and looked at Xie Jinyi, only to see that there was a lot of blood on his forehead, and some of the blood even flowed into his eyes, making him look very embarrassed and miserable.
[Has the first fate line of "serious injury in a car accident" passed? 】
[It's over, host, you can rest assured. 】
As soon as it finished speaking, Ruan Guannan no longer held on and fainted.
Xie Jinyi was extremely panicked. He propped himself up, carried her into the ambulance, and rushed to the hospital.
