Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 322 Imitator

"Really! That's great!"

Nan Shitong's excited voice broke everyone's surprise.

Rongyue looked at Mo Chen in confusion, but he just looked at Nan Shitong with a smile.

"Assistant Dong, haven't you been very busy recently? Then let her be your assistant. Thank you for your hard work in cultivating her." Mo Chen turned his head and looked at Assistant Dong.

"Yes." Although Assistant Dong was also confused, he still agreed.

"Don't you want to keep me company? How can you keep me company when you go to your brother-in-law's place?" Nan Muchen looked at Nan Shitong.

"You spend hours painting! It's useless for me to accompany you! Let Sister Rongyue accompany you! I will go to Mr. Gong to learn! The best of both worlds!" Nan Shitong looked at Nan Muchen's innocent question. She almost rolled her eyes in anger, but she still had to maintain a smile and reply to Nan Muchen.

Nan Shitong looked at the smiling Mo Chen, then at the frowning Rongyue. She was so happy. She had originally thought that she would come to Rongyue to slowly get to know Mo Chen, but she didn't expect to be directly with Mo Chen as soon as she arrived! Is she afraid that she won't fall in love with him after following him every day? Besides, Nan Siyan had told her that the women of the Nangong family have a natural attraction to the men of the Gongyi family.

Nan Shitong glanced at Rongyue's bulging belly. She was just as pretty as Nangong Rongyue, and even younger and more energetic than her. Gong Yi Mochen had already noticed her! He even arranged her by his side. With more contact, it was only a matter of time before she rose to the top!

By then, I will be the pregnant woman sitting next to Gong Yi Mo Chen, whom everyone envies!

"Is there any meeting at the company this afternoon?" Mo Chen looked at Assistant Dong.

“Yes,” Assistant Dong responded.

"Then let's go back to the company. It's a good opportunity for you to show her what she's going to do next." Mo Chen stood up and turned to look at Li Xin. "Are you going back to the company?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "I'm not used to riding in crowded cars."

Mo Chen smiled and leaned over to kiss Rong Yue. "I'll pick you up in the evening."

After Mo Chen finished speaking, he took his men away.

Nangong Yunyi frowned and observed Rongyue's expression. "Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Rongyue shook her head. "It's okay. You can go back and get busy." Rongyue looked at Nan Muchen. "I'm a little tired today. Come back another day to paint. You're always welcome here."

Nangong Yunyi and Nan Muchen left, and Li Xin walked over to Rongyue and sat down.

"Why go to the hospital for a checkup? Today is not the day for prenatal checkups."

Rongyue looked at Li Xin, who was staring at her with a smile in his eyes.

"He remembered it wrongly. Don't ask anything and just be quiet for a while. Let me get some sleep."

Rongyue curled up in the sofa helplessly, hugged the pillow, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of Huang Yihan, and felt very uncomfortable.

Li Xin smiled, and when he saw Rongyue close her eyes, he said nothing more. Just as he was about to get up, he heard Rongyue's cell phone ringing.

Rongyue picked up the phone in a daze and answered it.

"Busy man, why do you think of your teacher?" Teacher Xu's pretended angry voice came from the microphone.

"Teacher Xu, are you in school?"

"Just arrived at school, what's up?"

Rongyue pushed the pillow away and said, "Then I'll go find you and talk in person."

Rongyue hung up the phone and looked up at Li Xin, "I need to go to school..."

Li Xin nodded and extended his hand to Rongyue. "My driver just brought me a car. Let's go. I'll be your driver today."

Rongyue reached out and grabbed Li Xin's arm to help her stand up, and walked out with Li Xin.

Teacher Xu’s office.

"Why do you suddenly want to know about this person?" Teacher Xu asked Rongyue in confusion while rummaging through the information in the cabinet.

"I'm curious... someone mentioned her to me today... saying she's two years younger than me. Do you have any impression of Huang Yihan?"

"After you left, I stopped being a tutor and taught them basic lessons. But I still have some impression of this girl. She's so good at imitating. No matter whose work it is, she can draw it almost exactly the same!"

Teacher Xu sighed. "She found a photo of one of your paintings somewhere. It's very good. But I've always believed that imitation is just a skill. Art can't just be about imitation; one must create one's own style. She was young at the time and didn't listen to me. When she found out you weren't painting anymore, she wanted to make your style her own. She even went further and copied your work for a competition, and she even won a prize."

"Although what she did was certainly wrong, it was useless for me to persuade her at the time. I don't know where she found your works, but she copied almost all of them. Sometimes I look at those works and feel dazed, as if you have returned..."

"If that's the case, shouldn't she have become a famous artist a long time ago?" Li Xin knew Rongyue's previous works. If she could copy those works, she should also become famous.

Teacher Xu shook his head. "It's strange, Rongyue changed her major in her junior year and stopped painting oil paintings. Huang Yihan had gained some fame in her junior year but suddenly dropped out."

"Why did you drop out of school?" Rongyue seemed to have a vague answer in her mind, but she still wanted to hear what Teacher Xu had to say.

"Several teachers have talked to her about this, and she only has one reason: she's learned everything she can in school, and she doesn't want to waste time in school." Teacher Xu smiled helplessly and looked at Rongyue. "Indeed, when I saw your paintings, I realized that your talent and genius are not something you can learn in school."

Teacher Xu sighed deeply again. "But Huang Yihan forgot. She's just imitating. She can copy your work, but she can't imitate your talent and genius. Her own original works always have your shadow, but it's obvious that they're not yours. The traces of imitation are very strong, but the works lack expressiveness. So, besides you, who can teach her how to draw like you?"

"Did you hear any news about her later?" Rongyue looked at Teacher Xu.

Teacher Xu shook his head. "No, it's strange now that I think about it. Ever since she dropped out of school, there has been no news about her. Even if she imitated your work and created her own, she wouldn't be completely unknown in the art world..."

Teacher Xu frowned and became more and more confused the more he thought about it.

Rongyue looked down at the information about Huang Yihan that Teacher Xu had just handed her. There was a one-inch photo of Huang Yihan on it. Unlike the skinny, sallow face she had seen today, the one in the photo showed her with bright eyes, white teeth, and youthful beauty. Her big eyes were especially smiling.

Rongyue's eyes suddenly flashed with the look Huang Yihan gave her for the last time today. Those bloodshot eyes were full of fear and hope for help.

Rongyue had already roughly figured out what kind of people and things Huang Yihan encountered after imitating her work. When she thought about the possibility that she might have had the same experience as herself, Rongyue suddenly felt her stomach churning and almost vomited.

"Well."

Li Xin patted Rongyue's back and put the trash can on the ground in front of her.

Teacher Xu quickly poured a glass of water and looked at Rongyue with some concern. "Why are you still having morning sickness at this time? I remember your wife felt much better during this stage of her pregnancy."

"Maybe... the weather is too hot..." Rongyue took a sip of water to suppress her nausea.

"Don't run around when you're pregnant. Rest at home more. If you have anything to do, wait until after the baby is born. You have to take care of your own body!"

Rongyue looked at Teacher Xu's concerned expression, and her heart warmed. She smiled and said, "I see."

"Don't keep asking me to know! You have to..."

Rongyue quickly stood up, looked at Teacher Xu with a smile, and then pulled Li Xin out. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! I'm leaving and going home to rest!"

"Oh! You kid! Really..."

Rongyue and Li Xin looked at each other, and both laughed as they listened to Teacher Xu's nagging in the office.

Rongyue and Li Xin went straight home after having dinner together. Rongyue and Mo Chen have been living in Rongyue's house since they came back from abroad. The children were taken away by their grandfather to be taken care of. It was safer and more convenient for Li Xin to live across the street.

Rongyue and Li Xin went back home separately. Rongyue had just changed her clothes and sat on the sofa when she saw the information about Huang Yihan sent by Nangong Yunyi.

The information shows that Huang Yihan actually participated in many art exhibitions in the year after dropping out of college in her junior year. Her works were imitations of her original paintings and the results were quite good.

And her life should be pretty good. She comes from an ordinary family but lives in a villa and has her own studio in the art district.

However, she suddenly disappeared a year later. Rongyue looked through her works and found that her later works had changed more and more in style and no longer imitated her own paintings. This is why it is very dangerous for an artist to suddenly change his style.

Huang Yihan said she has evidence...

Should I believe Huang Yihan's words?

How to get Huang Yihan out of the mental hospital...

Song Xiang seems to be Liu Fengyi's man...

When Mo Chen got home, he saw Rongyue curled up on the sofa as if she was asleep, with her brows still furrowed.

Hearing the sound of Mo Chen opening the door, Rongyue opened her eyes, woke up, and sat up.

"Why don't you go to the bedroom if you're tired? You'll catch a cold here."

Mo Chen sat next to Rongyue, looked at the suspender nightgown she was wearing, and then saw her swollen feet, he frowned.

"Um…"

Mo Chen saw that Rongyue was just rubbing her eyes in response. Her soft and obedient look made him relax his brows. He didn't say anything else and directly picked up Rongyue and walked into the bedroom.

After putting Rongyue on the bed and covering her with a quilt, Mo Chen sat at the end of the bed, holding Rongyue's legs and massaging her swollen calves and feet.

Rongyue, who was already sleepy and confused, was warmed by Mo Chen's actions and became a little more awake. However, because Mo Chen's massage was too comfortable, her eyelids began to twitch again.

"Where have you been today? Your feet are so swollen." Mo Chen didn't stop and looked up at Rongyue.

“…I didn’t go anywhere. I just went to school this afternoon. I haven’t seen Teacher Xu in a while…”

"What else?" Mo Chen was not very satisfied with Rongyue's evasive answer.

"No more..." Rongyue leaned on the pillow and almost fell asleep.

Mo Chen stopped his hand and frowned at Rongyue. He felt a little angry that she didn't mention a word about finding Huang Yihan today and being frightened in the mental hospital.
