Durrell Landon walked over and sat opposite Quiana Sutton, casually placing his right hand to the side, looking at her with a half-smile: "Your relationship with Oliver Gale is really getting closer day by day. Are you going to gift me a green hat soon?"
Quiana Sutton: "..."
Has Durrell Landon developed paranoia now?
It seems like as long as she talks to a man, it's considered flirting, and the next moment she'll be taking off clothes, leading to rolling onto the bed.
She increasingly feels the non-amnesiac Durrell was better, at least he wouldn't be so unreasonable.
She looked at Oliver Gale beside her, speaking lightly: "Dr. Gale, do you think Mr. Landon is seriously ill? Why don't you prescribe some medicine for him?"
Oliver Gale: "..."
It's clearly an argument, but why does it feel more like playful banter... giving him goosebumps.
Cleared his throat: "Quiana, I'm a surgeon. This kind of illness isn't my department, but if you need, I can find a more authoritative doctor for you."
Quiana shifted her gaze: "No need."
She was just joking.
For the first time, Durrell Landon found Oliver Gale quite obstructive, coldly looking at Oliver Gale:
"Oliver, Julian mentioned there are a few tricky patients at Xiangbei Hospital who need your help."
Oliver Gale: "..."
Is Durrell trying to send him away?
His jealousy is a bit too much right now, and Quiana is right, indeed a doctor is needed to examine him.
Sighing, he stood up, "I'll head there shortly."
After Oliver Gale left, Durrell Landon didn't speak and just kept staring at her, making her a bit nervous.
Not wanting to continue being alone with Durrell, she stood up ready to leave but heard him ask: "Can you paint?"
A bit surprised, she looked at him, not quite understanding his sudden interest.
But she still replied: "Yes."
"Paint a picture of me."
Quiana Sutton: "..."
Is Durrell acting strange today? She chuckled:
"Since when have you become this shameless?"
He just wanted to try it, to see what it feels like if her eyes reflected only him.
"Are you unwilling?"
Of course she was unwilling, just about to speak, but heard Durrell's soft voice saying:
"I originally thought, if you're satisfied with the painting, I could trade it for the original 'Starry Night' as an exchange."
In the information he read earlier, he noticed that Quiana painted 'Starry Night' the most. Either she really liked the painting, or it held special significance for her.
Originally, Quiana was uninterested, but Durrell's mention of the original 'Starry Night' suddenly piqued her interest.
She just felt a bit skeptical:
"Do you really have the original 'Starry Night'?"
"Of course."
Quiana didn't doubt it much. Based on Durrell's pride, he wouldn't bother deceiving her.
And given the Landon family's status, obtaining an original piece isn't difficult.
"What do you want me to paint?"
"Of course, paint me."
Quiana looked at him speechlessly:
"There are so many photo albums of you online, with all sorts of angles, if you like, you can print them into big posters and hang them in the Imperial View Manor, why bother painting them?"
"I'm tired of the photos online, I just want the painting."
Quiana Sutton: "..."
"Then do you want a sketch, an oil painting, or a traditional painting?"
He had no preferences, as long as he was the subject. However, Imperial View Manor may not have enough painting materials.
"Then a sketch."
After saying this, he signaled the servant to bring paper and pen.
Painting allows her to feel momentarily peaceful, one of the few things she's passionate about.
Even under Durrell's temptation, she painted very seriously.
She spent almost two hours painting, during which her attention was completely on Durrell, as if everything else in the world turned into nothingness at that moment.
Durrell Landon watched her paint so seriously, and unconsciously smiled.
Two hours later, she finished and handed the painting to Durrell.
"Done."
Durrell took it and glanced, he had to admit, Quiana painted very well, capturing his essence perfectly.
Apart from necessary promotions, his social media account rarely shared personal updates. This time he unexpectedly took a photo and posted it on his Weibo.
[???]
[???]
Durrell Landon's fans thought his account was hacked, but soon realized it was impossible, knowing his status, who would dare to hack his account?
The only possibility was that Durrell himself shared his activity with fans.
Fans were moved to tears, finally seeing spring, and started leaving praising comments.
Seeing his actions, Quiana slowly spoke:
"Since you're satisfied, give me the original 'Starry Night'."
"The original 'Starry Night' isn't with me."
Quiana heard this, slightly frowned, just about to speak when Durrell continued:
"The painting isn't with me, it's with Master Ye, who owes me a favor. I'll take you to ask him for it in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Quiana's tense face slightly softened.
"Since you promised to give me the painting, don't go back on your word."
Durrell laughed: "Have I ever broken my word before?"
Quiana thought for a bit: "Not really."
Durrell instructed the servant to store the painting carefully, looking at her earnestly and softly calling her name:
"Quiana Sutton."
This wasn't the first time he called her name, but it was the first time he called it with such tenderness, such twists and turns, making her heart skip a beat unconsciously.
"What's up?"
"I now understand our marriage purpose isn't so innocent. I just have one question, have I fulfilled my duties as a husband?"
A few ripples appeared in Quiana's eyes, she had to admit that Durrell treated her pretty well.
Several times she caused trouble, and he asked Charles Foote to help solve it. She still remembered when she released her first single, the sales exceeded ten million, and the sponsor wanted to hold a celebration party, at which they tried to make advances on her. In a fit of anger, she directly swung an ashtray at the sponsor's head, scaring Grace Sutton to the ground.
When the sponsor threatened to blacklist her, Grace suggested going to the hospital to apologize as a last resort, but unexpectedly the sponsor apologized, claiming they were just drunk, even promising it wouldn't happen again.
Grace Sutton still doesn't know what actually happened.
Quiana looked at Durrell Landon, "You're one of the few people who's still good to me."
