Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 511: Lou Wanyuan’s Guidance

This discordant voice belonged to no other than the financial profligate, Lou Manlu. Yes, a profligate.

This was a nickname Miss Wufu had privately given him.

It wasn’t for any other reason but because he casually spent one hundred thousand taels to purchase her work. If that’s not prodigality, what is?

As for the Baby-Hugging Picture, speaking generously, fifty thousand taels would be the pinnacle price. Yet this profligate simply wouldn’t settle. One couldn’t fathom his mentality.

Although, admittedly, as the creator, Miss Wufu was delighted that her work sold for such a high price, yet, being realistic, it was exorbitantly prodigal!

It was only when he had jumped out that she realized, the man who had blocked her carriage the night before was none other than him. No wonder he had said that sentence, eager to see what she would carve.

"Lulu, how can you be so disrespectful? Apologize to Miss Wufu at once," said Lou Wanyuan who stood beside Lou Manlu, having returned at some unknown point.

Lou Manlu lifted his chin, looking down at Miss Wufu.

Miss Wufu had no intention of stooping to argue with this prodigal. She curtsied to Lou Wanyuan, and Jin Yu by her side also bowed. Then, after exchanging polite words, they tactfully walked away.

Lou Wanyuan saw his son behaving this way and felt helpless; his eyes held no blame but instead, affection. He could only salute Miss Wufu and say, "My son has been rude; Miss Wufu, please do not take offense."

Miss Wufu smiled: "President Lou need not worry so. Young Master Lou is as innocent and free-spirited as a child; why would I be angry with a little child?"

Lou Manlu glared: "A child? You girl, haven’t you reached the age of marriage yet? I am a year older than you."

"Whether one’s actions are composed really has nothing to do with age," Miss Wufu said, batting her eyelashes.

"You..." Lou Manlu was at a loss for words, and snorted, "No wonder Old Man Yu is completely at your mercy with your sharp tongue."

Miss Wufu grinned.

Lou Manlu was frustrated, pointing at her and saying, "I paid a high price, saving your face, and you dare to disrespect me?"

"Speaking of which, Young Master Lou is truly... willful," Miss Wufu turned to President Lou and said, "President Lou, the Baby-Hugging Picture would be fifty thousand taels."

"Ha, look at you, getting a bargain and still playing coy," Lou Manlu rolled his eyes.

"Lulu." Lou Wanyuan rebuked him and then turned to Miss Wufu, "Miss Wufu, my son and I bear your intentions in mind. That Baby-Hugging Picture is priceless to me. With the Wan Family’s wealth of millions, having but a single heir, one hundred thousand taels is trifling and cannot match a single thought. So, Miss Wufu need not feel it was undeserved." fгeewebnovёl.com

Miss Wufu sighed, "President Lou’s love for his wife is truly admirable. I must apologize for my part."

As she spoke, she gave a penitent bow and said, "I focused on carving a story with emotion, never expecting that it could evoke such sorrow for someone. That was my fault."

"No, no, this carving is marvelous, and will be a legacy, even teaching this unruly boy of mine the hardships his mother endured," President Lou glared at Lou Manlu as he spoke, "The dedication Miss Wufu has shown is commendable. At such a young age, you possess such craftsmanship and artistry, and it impresses us all!"

Miss Wufu humbly smiled, "It’s merely the result of diligent study."

"After this competition, many will likely seek your work, Miss. But remember, scarcity makes a thing precious; the value of a work lies in its quality, not quantity. Only then will it be sought after," Lou Wanyuan said, his gaze intense.

Miss Wufu paused for a moment, then gave a deep bow, "Miss Wufu thanks President Lou for his guidance." She smiled again and added, "As for me, I’m quite lazy and would be powerless to work even with the will. From now on, I’m afraid I’ll need a long rest!"

Truly a clever girl, admiration flickered in Lou Wanyuan’s eyes.
