"Oh..." Li Qing was extremely disappointed, "I'm sorry, I acted on impulse... I just wanted to learn..."
Boloni looked at Li Qing, a faint smile in his wise eyes, "Architecture is just one of my side jobs; my true profession is Chinese painting."
"I can only sketch..." Li Qing was even more embarrassed, "And I'm self-taught."
"Sketching is great, keep working hard," Boloni said, neither directly rejecting Li Qing nor accepting her.
What a smart way to handle it!
The topic passed just like that. After finishing their afternoon tea, Boloni was getting ready to return to D Country. Before leaving, he asked Jian Xi, "When will you start painting again?"
"I publicly announced my retirement from painting, so in the future, I'll probably only paint for close friends," Jian Xi said.
For example, her new home is waiting for her artwork to decorate it. If her children show interest in the future, she would teach them to paint too.
