Was Dongfang Yu complimenting her?

“Are you saying that my drawings are really good? That they might be worth 5 million?” Hai Xiaotang asks, her face lighting up with excitement.

Dongfang Yu looks up to meet her radiant smile.

The gleam in her clear, dark eyes seems to sparkle with stars; it’s dazzling.

Dongfang Yu seems momentarily dazed.

“So, do you think I can get the 5 million?” Hai Xiaotang asks again.

“Are you that desperate for the prize money?” Dongfang Yu asks, lips curling into a faint smile.

“Absolutely! Why else would I be drawing? Can I really get the 5 million?” Hai Xiaotang asks, unable to conceal her joy.

As he meets her hopeful gaze, Dongfang Yu’s heart seems to flutter uncontrollably.

He gazes deep into her eyes, an incredulous smile creeping onto his face.

Why did he think her… adorable just now? Was he losing his mind?

Hai Xiaotang misinterprets his smile and grows instantly nervous. “Well? Can I or can’t I? If I can’t, just say so.”

Dongfang Yu composes himself although unable to conceal a faint smile, “Perhaps. If you give me both of your designs, I might just treat you to that 5 million.”

All of a sudden, Hai Xiaotang’s eyes widen, and she bursts into delighted laughter.

She’s finally made 5 million!

This is undoubtedly her greatest achievement yet.

Her work is recognized by Dongfang Yu, she basks in her moment of glory, feeling immensely proud.

Dongfang Yu crosses his arms and watches her laugh.

Something about seeing her so cheerful brings a spontaneous smile to his face.

Realizing that he had let his guard down a bit, he masks his expression and says, “Hai Xiaotang, when will you stop laughing?”

Suddenly sober, Hai Xiaotang says, “Just hold on, I’ll be right back!”

Turning around, she dashes upstairs to fetch the other design draft to show him.

“Here, take these. Just give me the 5 million once you have my designs,” she says, generously.

Accepting the drafts, Dongfang Yu remarks, “Though your designs have a unique style, there are plenty of flaws. It’s amateurish and lacks internal structures. Considering this, the 5 million I’m paying are more than generous.”

Hai Xiaotang dismisses his criticisms, “I don’t care about that, you still owe me money!”

Arching his eyebrow, Dongfang Yu retorts, “So desperate for cash, are we? Considering our shared past, if you’re in trouble, I don’t mind helping out.”

Implying that he’s able and willing to give her the money she wants.

While Hai Xiaotang sort of picks up his hint, she doesn’t need nor want Dongfang Yu’s pity.

Dismissive, Hai Xiaotang retorts, “Thanks, but no thanks. I’m doing this to prove a point to certain people I’m not a failure!”

Stunned momentarily, Dongfang Yu breaks into a laugh. “Is this for my benefit?”

“Exactly. I’ve told you I wanted to slap you in the face!” Hai Xiaotang says, lifting her chin defiantly.

Strangely, Dongfang Yu doesn’t find her annoying when she acts like this.

Hands on his hips, he grins, “If this really is your design, it just shows you are unique. But if it isn’t…”

Hai Xiaotang feels a bit guilty, but doesn’t flinch.

Let him bring someone back from the dead to expose her if he can.

As for the second drawing, although it benefited from his design…. it was undeniably her own work!
