Later, she could find ways to mock the portrait. What Zhong Keke did today would then become a joke!Song Qingyao looked confident. Just then, someone suddenly called out, "100 million dollars!"Song Qingyao raised her head in amazement and looked at Gu Lichen not far away in disbelief. He... called for 100 million dollars.Zhong Keke choked on her own saliva. '100 million dollars? Did I hear him wrong, or did he make a slip of the tongue?'The auctioneer on stage was shocked by the figure of 100 million dollars. After a while, they finally said, "Mr. Gu offered 100 million dollars. Is there a higher offer?"Everyone was silent. Buying an unpopular comic artist’s work for 100 million dollars? It was not like money grew on trees!"A-Are you crazy?" Zhong Keke muttered as she tugged on Gu Lichen next to her."You drew a portrait of me, so the price is right," said Gu Lichen."But...""The Gu family was going to donate money to charity anyway, so it's perfect," he said again."1

Zhong Keke was relieved when she heard that. "Alright.""By the way, get prepared for the comic fiesta and come up with your own tagline." Zhou Xinmian began telling Zhong Keke details about the comic fiesta.On the other hand, Ye Chongwei arrived at Gu Lichen's office."I didn't expect you to spend 100 million dollars on your girlfriend's portrait yesterday. It seems you're more serious about her than I thought," said Ye Chongwei.Gu Lichen glanced indifferently at his best friend. "Did you come here to tell me that?""I just wanted to ask you to keep an eye on Qingyao. I'm afraid she'll get hot-headed and do something bad," said Ye Chongwei."You want me to keep an eye on her? Didn't you try to talk her out of it? Do you think I would spare her if I’ve been keeping an eye on her and I find out she did something she shouldn't have done?" Gu Lichen said coldly.Ye Chongwei laughed drily. "Since I told you to keep an eye on her, you'll minimize the damage as much as you can, of c

"So that's what you wanted to ask." Gu Lichen suddenly understood.Zhong Keke nodded and immediately added, "Of course, it... it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. It doesn't matter at all..."She said as she lowered her head, not wanting him to see her embarrassed expression and flushed face."You changed out of your clothes yourself," said Gu Lichen."Myself?" Zhong Keke suddenly raised her head and stared at Gu Lichen in disbelief.He said, "Yes, but... it's not like I wasn’t involved. After I brought you home yesterday, you woke up and started yelling that the gown wasn't comfortable, so you tried to get it off. But the gown had a zipper at the back and you couldn't pull it down anymore after pulling a third of it. Then you insisted that I pull the zipper for you.""And then..." she asked in a mutter."And then?" Gu Lichen had a faint smile he did not even notice. When she started to strip herself out of the gown last night, he turned away and did not look at her.However

"Do you think I'll ever take back what I’ve given away?" Gu Lichen asked rhetorically.Zhong Keke said, "Thank you for the gifts... then. By the way, the comic fiesta is next week. The magazine will be holding a small book signing for me. Will you be free to stop by after the book signing?""Comic fiesta?" he asked."The comic fiesta venue doesn't close until 10 o’clock, so we can take a look around until then. Of course, I'll just look around myself after the book signing if you're unavailable."She had often attended comic fiestas by herself. If Xinmian were free, she would take Xinmian with her.However... she wanted to check out the comic fiesta with him. It was as if she wanted him to get to know her hobbies, and it would be great if he liked them too."Okay, I understand. Let me know the specific time and address," said Gu Lichen.Zhong Keke instantly had a bright smile when she heard the news.He paused slightly when he saw her smile. 'When did I start to enjoy seeing he

Zhong Keke asked rhetorically, "So, are you smug because you look similar to Ling Yiran? It's not surprising that two people look similar, but you're even trying to copy her hairstyle and fashion sense. Are you trying to imitate her and become her substitute? Do you think Lichen would love a substitute?""So what if I'm a substitute? I love Lichen, and I don't mind being a substitute for him!" Ning Ranxue said."I’ll never want to be a substitute when I love someone. If you're a substitute, what's so great about getting temporary affection? You're only taking advantage! You're nothing when the real deal appears," Zhong Keke said bluntly.Ning Ranxue's expression became ghastly. She had wanted to embarrass Zhong Keke, but now it seemed like she was the embarrassed one."What do you know? Lichen loves Ling Yiran so much that he’ll never fall in love with anyone else! Do you know how hard Lichen cried and hugged me when he woke up in the middle of the night when we were abroad? Do you
