"Eighty thousand to buy my painting?"
Lin Chen asked, surprised.
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Lin Chen: "Why didn't you just sell the painting to him directly?"
Xu Mengyao said, "It's yours. Besides, you painted it to teach Qianqian. It's meaningful to her. If you want to sell a painting, paint another one."
Lin Chen considered it.
Childhood Heart Network had already transferred the six million. He originally had eight million two hundred thousand, so he now had over fourteen million.
This house is worth thirteen million on the market.
The landlord is eager to sell, so maybe he could even knock down the price a bit.
After buying the house, he'd still have over a million left, and his books would definitely earn him a lot of money later on.
Selling a painting for eight hundred thousand was pretty good, but he wasn't short on money now, so there was no need to earn that money.
"Mengyao, if I don't sell it, will you be in a difficult position?"
Lin Chen asked.
Xu Mengyao shook her head, "No. But why aren't you selling it? Eight hundred thousand isn't a small sum."
Lin Chen said, "I don't need the money. I don't want to become famous for the time being. I just want Qianqian to grow up peacefully."
"I don't want to go downstairs to exercise with Qianqian, or take Qianqian to the supermarket, and have a bunch of people staring at me."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen, surprised.
Everyone else was trying to get famous, but Lin Chen was so low-key.
"Lin Chen, I have a question."
"Your cooking is amazing, you have a talent for languages, and you're also great at painting. Why do you hide it?"
Xu Mengyao asked, confused.
Lin Chen sighed deeply, "The troubles of a genius, you wouldn't understand."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
She guessed, "Are you too amazing? Afraid of being discovered, afraid of being caught and used as a lab rat?"
Lin Chen secretly gave Xu Mengyao a thumbs up.
That was a good reason.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "I think things are pretty good as they are now. I get to spend every day with Qianqian, witnessing her grow up."
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.
She suddenly realized that Lin Chen seemed to have become a bit more handsome recently.

Lin Chen's physique was improving, and his body was changing. He hadn't had any abs before, but now he did.
Moreover, the toxins in his body had decreased significantly. His skin had improved, and his features would definitely look much more handsome.
"Mengyao, what are you looking at?"
"If you want to kiss, I'm okay with it, haha."
Lin Chen said with a chuckle.
A blush appeared on Xu Mengyao's face: "Don't talk nonsense. Since you don't want to sell the painting, I'll refuse Zhao Yanming."
"Take care of Qianqian; she's sick."
After saying that, Xu Mengyao quickly opened the door and left.
Lin Chen chuckled.
Future melting this ice mountain, Xu Mengyao, should be promising.
"Qianqian, Mommy has something to do, Mommy has to go now. Mommy will come see you in a few days. Oh, right, Mommy brought you a fairy tale book."
"Have Daddy read it to you, okay?"
Xu Mengyao took out Lin Yu's Fairy Tales Collection from her bag.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Mommy, I've already listened to it. Daddy wrote it! Daddy's stories are so good."
Xu Mengyao was stunned.
"Daddy wrote this?"
Lin Xiaoxi said in a milky voice: "Yes. Daddy, quickly tell Mommy, you wrote this for me, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Chen patted Qianqian's head and smiled.
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen, surprised.
Lin Chen laughed. "Lin Yu is my pen name. Some of the fairy tales aren't very good, so I wrote them myself. Qianqian likes to listen to them, and I can make a little money on the side."
"You—"
Xu Mengyao didn't know what to say.
Lin Chen was a top-notch chef, had incredible language talent, and his paintings were comparable to Xu Beihong. And now, he was also amazing at writing fairy tales.
"Mengyao, why don't you stay for lunch before you go?"
Lin Chen asked.
Xu Mengyao shook her head, "I have things to do at the company. Qianqian's mother is leaving first, you must be a good boy and listen to your father."
"Mm-hmm."
"Mommy, a kiss."
Xu Mengyao squatted down, and Lin Qianqian kissed her.
"Daddy kissed you, I'll kiss you too."
"We both love you."
Lin Qianqian said sweetly.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She and Lin Chen hadn't done anything intimate in the room! However, there was no need to explain this to Qianqian, the little girl.
"Mengyao, Qianqian has a cold and can't go out. We won't see you off. Be careful driving."
"Okay."
Xu Mengyao departed.
Back in her car, her Bentley headed towards the company.
Lin Chen is actually Lin Yu!
Wait a minute… the internet says Lin Yu's calligraphy is excellent, so Lin Chen has another great advantage.
Xu Mengyao thought to herself.
She secretly complained, how did her dad investigate back then? Lin Chen had so many good qualities, yet none of them were discovered.
In the afternoon, Qianqian took another medicated bath and fell asleep.
She was no longer running a fever, but the cough persisted.
"Ding-dong—"
The doorbell rang, and Lin Chen went to open the door.
Standing outside the door was the real estate agent, the one he had called.
"Mr. Lin."
"Is there a problem with the house?"
The real estate agent put on shoe covers and came in to ask.
Lin Chen gestured for the person to sit down: "There's no problem with the house. My daughter and I are satisfied living here. If the price is right, I'll consider buying it."
The real estate agent's eyes lit up.
This was like a windfall.
"Mr. Lin, the owner's bottom line is thirteen million, but the market isn't good right now. It's been listed for quite a while without selling, so there should be some room for negotiation."
"What's your intended price?"
Lin Chen smiled. "The market price is usually a 10% discount. That would be eleven million seven hundred thousand. I'll add a little to make it a lucky number: eleven million eight hundred eighty-eight thousand."
"Talk to the homeowner. If you get it done, I'll pay the full amount."
"Okay, if it works, it works. If not, then forget about it."
The real estate agent thought about it. Lin Chen's offer wasn't too outrageous; there was still a chance of persuading the homeowner.
"Mr. Lin, I'll do my best to make the deal happen."
The real estate agent stood up and said.
Lin Chen nodded. "Make it quick. I have this much cash now, but maybe I won't later. Then, even if the homeowner changes their mind, I won't be able to buy it."
"Understood."
The real estate agent bid farewell and left.
Downstairs, he quickly called the homeowner.
"Eleven million five hundred thousand?"
"This price is too low, it's a hundred and fifty thousand short! Selling at this price, the renovation costs would all be a loss."
The homeowner sounded a bit annoyed.
The real estate agent said, "President Tan, the economy isn't doing well right now. Not many people can afford a house over ten million, and there are a lot of houses for sale on the market."
"Do you want me to negotiate with the other party again? If you think the difference is too great and you don't want to negotiate, then forget it."
On the other end of the phone, the homeowner was silent for a moment before saying, "Negotiate again. This price is really too low."
The real estate agent said, "President Tan, I'll try my best."
Two or three hours later, the real estate agent called again. He'd "negotiated" the price up to eleven million seven hundred thousand.
The homeowner wasn't satisfied.
In the evening, the agent had "negotiated" the price up to 11.88 million.
"President Tan, I've been pestering Mr. Lin for hours. He's getting a bit angry. He said that's the price, and if we don't sell, then don't bother him anymore."
"I really don't know what else to do."
"Look..."
The agent's tone was helpless.
The other side was silent for a moment before saying, "Just sell it to him."
