My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 172 Closing the Pen

Assistant Luo quickly arrived at the villa and took Yu Chengliang away.

After they left, Song Yafei turned to me and brought up the matter of going to a neighboring city to participate in a global exhibition.

Of course I want to participate in the global exhibition. Before, due to my health, I could only hear about it from my senior brother Jiang Yi.

I'd like to see it for myself.

"Can I go?"

Seeing my rare interest, Song Yafei was quite pleased to finally give me a smile.

"Of course, you can do it if you want."

"As long as we are careful on the road, I will take good care of you, and nothing will happen."

That would be perfect.

Since I'm stuck here all day, all I can think about is my injured arm, I might as well go out and do something meaningful.

Seeing that I did not object, Song Yafei immediately took out her phone and called Assistant Luo.

"Next stop at the global exhibition, buy tickets for me and my husband."

"But you have a very important meeting to discuss. Why don't you go after that?"

Song Yafei was making the call right next to me, and I could clearly hear Assistant Luo's reply.

At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder, was this real or just another act?

Song Yafei noticed my gaze and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

I couldn't help but sneer, "If you don't have time, I can go by myself."

"no!"

Song Yafei refused without even thinking.

"Your body... help me book tickets, don't make me say it a third time."

"Yes."

In the end, we were able to visit the neighboring city as we had hoped.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Song Yafei used her status to book a presidential room in a five-star hotel.

When I went up to the rooftop, in the elevator, I experienced the life of the wealthy once again.

No wonder everyone likes being in a high position. When you are in a high position, everything under your feet is like an ant, and it seems that everything is under your control.

This is probably the feeling that rich people like.

When I arrived at the presidential suite, I went straight to the master bedroom.

Because I knew that even if I went to lie on my side, Song Yafei would follow me, and I didn't want to get entangled with her too much.

When I woke up the next day, Song Yafei was no longer in the suite, so I changed my clothes and went to the global exhibition venue on my own.

I didn't tell Song Yafei that Jiang Yi would actually send me a ticket every time we held an exhibition.

Moreover, I didn't tell anyone that I was here at the global event.

I just wanted to quietly check on the situation.

Upon arriving at the venue, I discovered that Professor Xie had selected six of the design sketches I had given him and hung them up there.

There were three pictures hanging next to Professor Xie's work, and I knew that Professor Xie was intentionally recommending my design.

At the scene, I saw a promotional brochure featuring many people from the studio.

I noticed an empty seat next to Professor Xie, and I thought maybe that seat was reserved for me.

This was unexpected; Professor Xie would actually go to such lengths for me.

I was moved by the teacher's actions.

This also strengthened my resolve that I must not let my actions affect the global exhibition.

At the scene, Jiang Yi was busy introducing his work to the people present, as were several of his colleagues from the studio.

Everyone is busy and having a great time!

Even Professor Xie was chatting and introducing himself to many people.

Everything proceeded as scheduled, and the global exhibition was not affected because of me, which is what I wanted to see most.

Just when I was happy to see it happen, I never expected that someone would cause a sensation at the venue.

A woman stood in front of one of my paintings with her daughter, pointing at it and asking Jiang Yixue.

"How much is this painting? I'll buy it!"

Her tone was very forthright, but her behavior put Jiang Yi, the senior student, in a very awkward position.

Jiang Yi explained, "I'm sorry, ma'am. We are currently holding a global exhibition, and none of the paintings will be sold until the exhibition ends."

"If you'd like, I'll have a staff member give you a business card later. Most of the pictures here can be sold after the exhibition ends. Is that alright with you?"

Jiang Yi's tone was very gentle and polite, but his explanation did not convince the lady.

She was very assertive, and in her eyes, it seemed that money could buy anything.

She pointed to the signature on the painting and said, "My daughter really loves King's paintings. Just tell me, how much do you want to buy them for me?"

Jiang Yixue patiently explained it again.

But clearly, that woman couldn't accept it.

Jiang Yi's face clearly showed impatience and embarrassment.

Jiang Yi's pride as a designer has always been ingrained in his bones, but he has temporarily concealed it for the sake of his studio in recent years.

This is what Professor Xie told me personally.

Before things got serious, I didn't care about exposing myself and immediately stepped forward to explain.

"Madam, I am the author. Thank you very much for your appreciation."

"But the rules of a global exhibition are that the beauty of design must be seen by everyone in the world. If your daughter also loves design, she should understand this intention. Right, Miss?"

I think the petite girl next to the lady looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.

When he saw me, his eyes shone with a gleaming light, like that of an admirer.

An unbelievable joy, "Are you the author yourself?"

I nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I chose this name when I was young and arrogant. It was the name I picked when I was drawing on the streets of a foreign country. I hope it disappointed you."

Looking back now, I realize how ignorant and fearless I truly was!

The girl was very understanding, saying, "As a designer, your fearless spirit is what I admire most."

"I really like your work. Do you have any other works coming out in the near future? If so, I would like to buy them for my collection."

Other works?

I looked at my injured right hand, the cast covered in a hazy white film.

I gave a wry smile. "As you can see, my hand is injured, and I'm afraid I won't be able to draw for a while."

"That's such a pity!" The little girl looked regretful.

His mother must have loved her daughter very much, asking me to paint for her again on her behalf.

"It doesn't matter, we can buy your painting no matter the price or when. We would appreciate it if you could leave your contact information."

How tolerant!

I am truly honored to be treated and liked in this way.

As for painting, I'm afraid that's impossible for me!

Moreover, before coming here, I made a small decision, which I couldn't help but say at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I probably won't be drawing anymore. I'm announcing here today that I'm temporarily retiring from drawing."

When Professor Xie came over, that's what I said.

Senior Jiang Yi was also shocked!

He pulled me up and explained things to the girl.

"He recently injured his hand and has been feeling down. I hope you understand!"

The girl didn't hesitate, "It's okay, I'll definitely wait until you get better."
