“That’s right. You can learn whatever you like.”

Lin Xiaowan had never thought about learning to draw. Although she liked it, she felt that it was impossible to make it part of her life. She was not hardworking by nature. She was satisfied with having food and a roof over her head. Her only goal in life was to live.

“Why are you suddenly telling me this?” Lin Xiaowan asked, confused. She thought that Huo Zheng thought she was too idle every day.

“I just thought you liked it. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. If you don’t want to learn how to draw, what about singing or dancing? What about mathematics? I can teach you.”

Lin Xiaowan did not like mathematics since she was young. She would have a headache when she encountered a mathematical question in the past. Moreover, the mathematics that Huo Zheng mentioned definitely was not the simple mathematics she knew. Who knew how difficult it would be?

She shook her head. “No, no, no, I definitely don’t want to learn mathematics.”

As for the others, she could consider them.

“I’m not asking you to go back to school or anything. I just want you to have fun. I want you to go out more and make a few friends. I’m worried that you’ll feel lonely,” Huo Zheng said, “You were very happy when you went out with Gu Yuwu, right? I hope that you’ll be happy every day.”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiaowan realized that she had been overthinking things. She laughed and said, “I thought you didn’t like me being too idle every day.”

Huo Zheng patted her head and said, “Of course not.”

“Well, since we’re on the topic, I don’t mind learning how to draw. However, I don’t have any foundation. I don’t even know how to sketch. I don’t know anything.”

“It’s fine. You can learn.”

“What if the teacher is fierce? I want a gentle and patient teacher.”

“Alright.”

Then, Lin Xiaowan suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Then, can we move back to the city tomorrow?”

“Okay.”

Before going to bed, Huo Zheng meticulously massaged Lin Xiaowan’s calf and feet. He had learned the technique from a few professionals to improve her blood circulation. Her feet were cold so she soaked them in warm water before going to bed as well.

Huo Zheng’s hands were smeared with medicinal oil, and the pressure he exerted with his huge and warm hands was neither too light nor too heavy.

Lin Xiaowan yawned and said, filled with praise, “You get extra points for this. The progress bar of your pursuit has moved forward a little. When the progress bar is full, I might allow you to propose to me.”

Huo Zheng chuckled and said, “Then I’ll have to work hard to fill up the progress bar.”

“That’ll depend on your performance,” Lin Xiaowan said.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Lin Xiaowan suddenly said, “I don’t necessarily have to learn how to draw now. Learning to play the guitar sounds cool too. In any case, I haven’t decided yet so don’t look for teachers yet.”

Huo Zheng placed her feet on the bed and covered them carefully with the blanket as he said, “Alright, take your time.”

After the two of them moved back to the house that they previously lived in, Huo Zheng told Lin Xiaowan that he had hired a new nanny, who would come in the afternoon.

Before the nanny arrived, Gu Yuwu called.

“Xiaowan, do you remember Sang Xiyue?” Gu Yuwu asked excitedly.

Based on Gu Yuwu’s tone, Lin Xiaowan knew that something must have happened. She asked, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Previously, Huo Zheng had told Gu Yuwu not to let Lin Xiaowan know that she was secretly photographed and used to increase Sang Xiyue’s popularity. Apart from that, he also gave Assistant Song a bonus, commending Assistant Song for his swift actions. He also arranged for people to continue monitoring the situation, making sure that Lin Xiaowan would not be implicated in this matter.

Gu Yuwu was very sensible and did not mention this matter. She only laughed and said, “Do you remember that Sang Xiyue wore the same dress as you? As it turns out, the dress is an imitation that her assistant’s friend made. She was plotted against by her own people!”

Lin Xiaowan was puzzled. “Isn’t she the brand ambassador? Why did her assistant do something like that?”

“She’s no longer the brand ambassador for Athena. The brand has already announced the termination of their contract with her. She deserves it! Not only did she treat her assistant like a slave, but she was also verbally abusive to her assistant!”

“It’s so serious? That sounds pretty sad. How’s the assistant now?”

“The assistant has already resigned. Sang Xiyue apologized for this matter, but she didn’t seem sincere at all. There were a few mistakes in her first apology statement, and she was mocked by netizens for it.”

“It’s a good thing that the assistant resigned. Although the assistant’s actions weren’t right, I can understand her. If I was treated like a slave and was scolded every day, I would’ve done the same thing,” Lin Xiaowan said.

“You? Forget it. With your meek personality like a lamb, you can only bleat,” Gu Yuwu said teasingly with a smile, “In any case, Sang Xiyue deserves it.”

This was simply retribution. Sang Xiyue treated her assistant badly and insulted her assistant, which in turn caused her assistant to retaliate.

After a moment, Gu Yuwu said, “By the way, there’s something I need your help with. I hope you’ll consider it.”

“What is it?”

“I have a script for a fantasy drama. There’s a character that’s very suitable for you.”

“What do you mean? Do you want me to act? I don’t know how to act.”

“It’s just a few scenes. It’s fine if you don’t know how to act. Come and give it a try. This role is very simple,” Gu Yuwu said, trying to persuade Lin Xiaowan.

Gu Yuwu knew that Lin Xiaowan was soft-hearted and did not have any thoughts of her own. As long as it was not something that she was particularly resistant to, Lin Xiaowan would likely agree. Moreover, she could tell that Lin Xiaowan did not hate the entertainment industry after bringing Lin Xiaowan to the event.

Gu Yuwu continued to say, “There are only a few lines for that character. If it’s too difficult for you, we can get a voice actor to dub over you…”

If these words were heard by people from the entertainment industry, their jaws would have dropped to the ground. They would have doubted their ears and wondered if Gu Yuwu had been possessed. After all, she was known to pursue perfection, and it was a huge taboo for her when actors forget their lines.

Previously, there was a male celebrity who was praised to the sky by his fans. He was very confident about his skills, but he ended up forgetting his lines. He was scolded a few times, but he refused to make any effort. In the end, he was directly fired and thrown away by Gu Yuwu. It did not matter that he had a backer. Even his backer had to lower his head and be respectful when faced with Gu Yuwu.

Under normal circumstances, there was no celebrity who dared to forget their lines when participating in the projects that Gu Yuwu invested in..
