You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Having gotten rid of the annoying fly, Lin Chen's mood returned to calm.

The bulletproof jeep drove smoothly and quickly on the way back to the city. Its terrifying performance was perfectly concealed, blending into the traffic and no longer showing any signs of its power.

When the familiar red walls and gray tiles came into view, we finally arrived at that vast courtyard house, a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city.

Lin Chen parked the car, pushed open the heavy vermilion gate, and went inside.

The morning sun shone over the high courtyard wall, casting a warm golden glow over the entire courtyard.

The old locust tree in the yard is lush and leafy, with dappled sunlight and shadows. Several sparrows chirp and chatter on the branches, creating a lively atmosphere.

Four stunningly beautiful figures sat quietly beside the stone table in the center of the courtyard.

Ye Qingcheng, Su Qingge, Jiang Tingxue, and Su Ke'er.

They were all dressed in comfortable loungewear, with no makeup, yet they were still breathtakingly beautiful.

However, on each of those stunningly beautiful faces, there was an undeniable trace of weariness and worry.

The coffee in front of them had long since gone cold, and neither of them had the appetite to take a sip.

Their hearts have been in their throats ever since Lin Chen left alone last night.

That night was so long and agonizing for them.

Just then, the creaking sound of the gate being pushed open broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

The four women looked up almost simultaneously, and when they saw that familiar, tall figure walking in unharmed, bathed in the morning light, time seemed to stand still.

next second.

"Lin Chen!"

"husband!"

Four shouts, filled with surprise, excitement, and endless longing, rang out almost simultaneously!

The four stunning beauties, who were usually aloof, domineering, innocent, or lively, transformed into ordinary little women at this moment. Like four fledglings who had finally found their way home, they stood up from the stone bench and rushed into Lin Chen's arms without hesitation!

Warm and fragrant, soft and tender, instantly filling my arms.

Four distinct yet equally intoxicating fragrances lingered around my nose.

Lin Chen opened his arms and hugged them tightly, feeling their delicate bodies trembling slightly with excitement, and a feeling of unprecedented satisfaction and tenderness welled up in his heart.

"Fools, I'm back."

He smiled, lowered his head, and planted a gentle kiss on Ye Qingcheng's smooth forehead.

He turned around and gently kissed Su Qingge's blushing cheek.

Then there were Jiang Tingxue's slightly cool lips.

Finally, there were Su Ke'er's red, swollen eyes, like a little rabbit's, from crying.

He soothed them one by one, his gentle movements a stark contrast to the ruthless killer who had demolished fortresses and violently crushed everything the night before.

"Waaaaah... Honey, you scared us to death! You haven't come home all night, and we couldn't get through to you on the phone..."

Su Ke'er was the most impatient; she nestled in Lin Chen's arms and began to cry, feeling wronged.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, or you'll look like a little kitten."

Lin Chen affectionately flicked her nose.

"See, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Hmph! Who told you to always go on adventures alone!"

Although Ye Qingcheng complained, the way she gripped Lin Chen's clothes tightly betrayed her inner tension.

"Yes, Lin Chen, you mustn't do that again. We...we'll be worried sick."

Su Qingge, unusually, also put aside her aloofness as the team leader, and her eyes reddened.

Jiang Tingxue didn't speak, but stared at him with her clear, cold eyes, as if she wanted to etch his image deep into her soul.

Seeing their frightened expressions, Lin Chen felt a pang of guilt.

"Okay, I promise, I'll take you all with me from now on."

He smiled and made the promise, then immediately changed the subject.

"To make up for your worry, your husband has decided to perform a magic trick for you."

"magic?"

All four women were taken aback.

Lin Chen smiled mysteriously, released them, and turned to walk into the study.

A moment later, he came out again with a brand new drawing board, several charcoal pencils of different lengths, and a blank sheet of paper.

He set up his easel on the stone table in the courtyard and smiled at the four women:

"Stand still, strike your favorite pose."

The four women looked at each other, not understanding what Lin Chen was going to do, but they still obediently stood in a row.

Ye Qingcheng habitually stood in the center, arms crossed, her expression aloof; Su Qingge stood beside her, looking heroic and spirited; Jiang Tingxue stood quietly, her temperament as elegant as an orchid; Su Ke'er was the most lively, directly taking Lin Chen's arm, her smile as bright as a flower.

Lin Chen also stood over and surrounded them.

"Okay, don't move."

He glanced at it, then walked back to the easel.

[God-level drawing/sketching skills], now unlocked!

"Buzz—!"

The moment Lin Chen picked up the charcoal pencil, his whole world changed.

The four women and one man before us are no longer just figures, but the most perfect artistic model composed of countless rays of light, shadow, lines, structures, and relationships of light and shadow!

His wrist began to vibrate rapidly on the pristine white paper at a dazzling speed!

"Shhhhh—"

The sound of charcoal pencils rubbing against paper is dense and rhythmic, like a beautiful piece of music.

The four women stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.

They saw that Lin Chen's hand moved so fast that it almost left afterimages!

He didn't even make any drafts; the black charcoal pencil seemed to come alive at his fingertips!

With just a few strokes, the outlines of each figure leap off the paper with incredible precision!

Next, the facial features, the expression, the hair...

In just ten minutes!

When Lin Chen put down the charcoal pencil and gently blew away the dust on the drawing paper, a lifelike and extremely realistic sketch appeared in front of the four women!

In the painting, the handsome and extraordinary Lin Chen is surrounded by four stunning beauties with different styles.

Ye Qingcheng's icy demeanor, Su Qingge's dashing and heroic spirit, Jiang Tingxue's aloofness and arrogance, Su Ke'er's sweetness and liveliness... Every expression, every gaze, even the folds of clothing and the shadows of hair, are exactly like the real people. The level of detail is so terrifying that it even surpasses the highest resolution black and white photographs!

But that's not the most amazing thing.

Most remarkably, when the four women's gazes fell upon the painting, they seemed to feel a warm and tranquil power emanating from it, instantly soothing all their anxieties, worries, and exhaustion.

This painting seems to possess magic!

It not only depicted their forms, but also their "spirit," capturing the deep, unyielding love hidden in their eyes when they looked at Lin Chen!

"Oh my god..."

Su Ke'er covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"Honey, when...when did you learn to draw? And you draw so well!"

"This...this is simply a work of art!"

Su Qingge was also captivated by the sight.

Jiang Tingxue stepped forward and gently and carefully stroked Lin Chen's face on the drawing paper with her slender fingers, as if she were touching a real person.

Ye Qingcheng, a billionaire queen who has seen the world's top artworks, was completely captivated at this moment.

Her face flushed, she snatched the painting from the canvas, hugged it tightly to her chest, and declared in an unquestionable, domineering tone:

"This painting is mine!"

"I'm going to frame it and hang it in the most prominent place in the CEO's office at the IFC! Let everyone know, this is my man!"
