Chapter 607 A Painting
When Chu Luo and Li Yan arrived at Imperial University, it was already past six.
The two of them went straight to the Student Union office building.
At this moment, some people from the Student Union hadn’t left. When they saw the two of them, they stopped in surprise. “Chu Luo actually came with CEO Li.” “Heavens, every time I see CEO Li, I feel like his aura is so strong that I can’t breathe.”
“I wonder why they’re here at this time?”
The two of them went upstairs and walked into the president’s office.
The package was on the desk. It wasn’t big and was a rectangular box.
After Chu Luo walked over, she touched the package and said to Li Yan, “There’s nothing dangerous inside.”
After saying that, she took out a scalpel and opened the package.
When she saw what was inside, Chu Luo exclaimed, “It’s actually a piece of paper.”
After saying that, she took out the paper and unfolded it. It was actually a painting of an ancient high official drinking wine and playing music.
“What does this painting mean?”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan took the painting and looked at it for a while before saying, “I’ll immediately get someone to investigate where this package was sent from.”
Without any clues, he couldn’t guess.
After saying that, he took out his phone, took a photo of all the information on the package, and sent it to his subordinate.
Chu Luo continued to look at the drawing paper.
Li Yan patted her shoulder. “Let’s go back and take a look.”
Chu Luo nodded and put the drawing paper in her pocket. She then threw the package into the rubbish bin and walked out with Li Yan.
The two of them returned to the villa. Li Yan went to the study. Chu Luo looked at the painting for a while before taking her laptop and sitting there, hacking into the student database of the Academy of Fine Arts to check on the girl called Wu Mingming.
Indeed, there was no such person.
Chu Luo raised her hand to hold her forehead and wondered how to find the Wang family.
At this moment, Snowball, who had woken up, ran out of her pocket. It first stood on the sofa and looked at Chu Luo for a while, then jumped to the ground and ran to stand on Roundy’s head, who had been in a dormant state since coming back.
Sensing something on his head, Roundy ended his dormant mode and extended his mechanical arm to take it off.
Snowball kicked its short legs in his hand and growled in dissatisfaction.
“Shh.” Roundy reminded Snowball. “Don’t scream. Can’t you see that Mistress is thinking about something? If you disturb Mistress, I’ll lock you up.” Snowball seemed to understand him and stopped to look at Chu Luo.
Then, it meowed at Roundy.
Only then did Roundy open his mechanical palm and let Snowball stand in it.
Snowball stood in his palm and looked up at him, then reached out one front claw and pointed outside.
Roundy guessed, “You want me to go out with you.”
Snowball meowed again, as if to say, ‘You’re so smart.’
Roundy calculated for a while and felt that it was okay to go out, so he brought Snowball out.
Chu Luo happened to see Roundy walking out with Snowball from the corner of her eye, so she asked casually, “Roundy, where are you and Snowball going?” Roundy stopped and said to her, “Mistress, Snowball wants me to accompany it out.”
Chu Luo’s mind was a little messy now, and she couldn’t think of anything. She stood up and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go out for a walk too.”
After saying that, she walked out of the door with the two round fellows.
The weather didn’t look good tonight. The cold wind whistled. It looked like there would be snow tonight.
As soon as Snowball came out of the villa, it pointed at the villa behind with its forelimbs. It was obvious that he wanted Roundy to go over there with him.
Chu Luo watched with amusement as Snowball gave commands. She lifted it from Roundy’s hand and placed it at the bend of her arm, then raised her hand and tapped its head. “You want to go to the herb garden to eat White Withered Floss, right? To think you know how to command Roundy to go with you.”
Snowball rubbed its small head against her fawningly.
There was no one in the villa at the back today. After Chu Luo and two round fellows entered, Snowball happily ran towards the White Withered Floss.
Chu Luo went to take a look at the growth of the White Withered Floss and took the herb basket to pick the herbs.
Not long after, she suddenly received a call from Anya.
Anya had been rather busy recently and the two of them hadn’t seen each other much.
Anya asked Chu Luo where she was and said that she had gone to their villa.
Chu Luo told her to wait in the villa in front and hung up the phone. She said to Roundy, who was standing there, “Roundy, I’ll go back first. You and Snowball can come back together later.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Chu Luo returned to their villa with the herb basket.
When she entered, she happened to see the butler deliver a cup of warm milk to Anya.
Anya took the milk and complained as she drank, “Blockhead must have asked you to send it to me. He knew I didn’t like it, but he still made me drink it every time.”
The butler said earnestly, “Qin Ming is doing this for your own good, Princess.”
The corners of Anya’s lips curled up. It was obvious that she was in a good mood and was just pretending
Chu Luo walked over and the butler asked her, “Madam, what do you want to drink?”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “I’ll drink milk too. Add some fruit inside.”
“Okay.”
After the butler left, Chu Luo looked at Anya.
Anya smiled at her and rubbed her stomach.
Chu Luo’s gaze turned to her stomach.
Only then did she realize that her stomach had puffed out a little.
Chu Luo asked awkwardly, “Don’t tell me you’re here to show off?”
Anya raised her eyebrows at her smugly and said, “My baby is already two months old, but there’s still no news from you. Is Li the one with the problem?”
Chu Luo looked at her with a wooden face and confirmed something. “Looks like you’ve been living too comfortably recently. Are you finding some trouble to spice up your life?”
“No, no, no…” Anya knew that Chu Luo was quite heartless sometimes and would keep her word. She quickly pleaded, “I was just joking with you. Li must think that you’re too small, so you guys don’t want a child for now.”
“Too small?”
Chu Luo felt that Anya’s words were a little strange. She subconsciously looked down.
Anya followed her gaze towards a certain spot. She was suddenly surprised. “Chu, are you not done developing? Why do I feel that you’re growing again?”
Chu Luo looked at her with a dark expression and reminded herself that she was facing a pregnant woman. If she wanted to deal with her, she would have to wait until she finished giving birth.
She changed the topic and asked, “Why are you at my house at this time?”
“I came with Blockhead.”
Chu Luo nodded and asked casually, “How’s your company?”
“It will open in a few days.” At this point, Anya suddenly looked a little worried.
“What’s wrong?”
“Something happened to my company in America.”
“What is it?”
Anya held the hot milk and said with a straight face, “There have been strange situations over there for the past few days.”
At this point, she angrily placed the milk on the coffee table and said, “It must be one of my brothers who is behind this. Previously, I said that I wanted to transfer the company to the empire, but they didn’t agree.”
“Why wouldn’t they agree?” Chu Luo didn’t understand. “What has your company got to do with them?”
Anya fell silent.
At this moment, the butler brought over the fruit and milk she had asked for. There were some sliced strawberries in the milk.
When Anya saw this, she was especially gluttonous. “Chu, that glass of milk looks delicious.”
Chu Luo glanced at her. “You better not imitate me. If you want to eat fruits, just eat fruits. If you want milk, just drink milk.” “Why?”
“There will be some changes in a pregnant woman’s stomach. Many pregnant women aren’t suitable to drink and eat like this.”
Anya thought for a moment. Although she wasn’t sure if it was suitable for her, she was prepared to oblige for the sake of herself and the baby.
Then, she said, “When my company was just opened, my brothers helped a little. They felt that the company was theirs too. They feel that by moving my company here, it’s being disrespectful to them.”
Chu Luo looked at Anya sympathetically. “Your brothers are really strange.”
“They’ve always wanted me to be on their side. Now that I’ve left, I’ve disrupted their plan.”
The royal family was heartless, especially the kind with many princes. Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds. She patted her hand. “You married the right person.”
“Hehe.” Anya thought so too. “They can fight if they want. Father knows everything anyway. They deserve whatever happens to them!”
Chu Luo thought of Li Yan’s previous life where he had inherited the throne at the age of ten and suddenly understood Anya’s feelings.
Anya was very open-minded. “Hmph! Just because they don’t want me to move the company’s headquarters here, they think there’s nothing I can do? In any case, half of my upper echelons are already here. When the company here opens, I’ll make sure to publicize it.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Sure. Let me know if you’re looking for an endorser.”
Anya looked expectant. “Is it free?”
Chu Luo replied, “Dream on.”
The two of them talked in the living room for a while before Roundy came back with Snowball on his head.
Roundy walked over to Chu Luo’s side and took down Snowball, who was chewing on a piece of White Withered Floss, from his head and placed it on the sofa beside Chu Luo. He then went to the corner and stood there before entering dormant mode.
Anya was stunned. “Chu, your robot and pet have become spirits, haven’t they?”
Chu Luo raised her hand to stroke Snowball’s head and smiled at her smugly.
Anya also wanted to stroke Snowball, so she said to Chu Luo, “Chu, bring Snowball over for me to stroke.”
Chu Luo brought Snowball to the middle and Anya raised her hand happily.
However, when her hand approached it, Snowball ran into its nest with White Withered Floss in its arms.
Anya: “…”
When Qin Ming and Li Yan came out of their discussion, they saw Anya with a dark expression.
Qin Ming walked up to Anya and looked at her. He opened his mouth and said, “Let’s go back.”
Having been dealt a blow, Anya sat there without moving. She said, “I feel very sad now. I don’t want to walk.”
Chu Luo was amused by her reaction and laughed.
However, Qin Ming misunderstood. He walked up to her, leaned over, picked her up, and walked out.
“Ah!” Anya was surprised at first. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said to Chu Luo happily, “Chu, I’ll come again tomorrow. I don’t believe that I can’t subdue Snowball’s heart.”
