He had no Idea how much his Laziness this Time will Cost Him

Just then, Wan Kaiyi finished his call and walked over to Qiao Qing, "What's wrong?"0

Qiao Qing hesitated but still asked, "I'm wondering which artist produced this painting."

There was no signature on it so she wanted to ask to get rid of her curiosity. 

Her father painted. Even if he was simply doodling, he'd sign his name. It was a habit that was almost obsessive. 

Wan Kaiyi smiled, "This painting wasn't bought. It was painted by the Duke himself."

Qiao Qing was surprised by that answer and at once, felt like she was overthought it. She nodded, "It's lovely."

She commented before adding, "Then, did you get in contact with Duke Quan Zexi? What did he say?"

Wan Kaiyi was apologetic, "I'm sorry, miss. The Duke is out meeting with other government leaders and it will take him a week to return. He had asked me to let you know that if necessary, you can chat with him after he returns."

Jun Yexuan chuckled, "How arrogant. Give me his contact info."

Wan Kaiyi grinned, "Young master, please don't make it hard for me. If I give out the Duke's contact info, that'd be the end of my career. Plus, if you really do need to ask the Duke for a favor, it's not a good move to get on his bad side."

Jun Yexuan, "You…"

Qiao Qing grabbed his hand and said to Wan Kaiyi, "Then, thank you for your help."

She spoke out a series of numbers, "My name is Qiao Qing and that was my phone number. Once the Duke is back, please let me know."

Wan Kaiyi wrote it down quickly and politely invited, "Of course. Everyone, please stay and have dinner. Food is almost done cooking."

Qiao Qing shook her head, "There's no need."

She then turned away, "Let's leave."

Currently, inside a seven-star hotel. Some man took off his mask and got ready for a shower. 

Just then, his phone rang again.

He impatiently picked up, "Why are you calling again?"

Wan Kaiyi said, "Duke, you had asked me to report to you when someone compliments your painting."

Quan Zexi raised an eyebrow, "Who had this set of amazing eyes?"

Wan Kaiyi's lips quivered, "The young lady who came with the young master."

Quan Zexi said, "Oh. What do they want me to help with?"

Wan Kaiyi answered, "Duke, since you said you're busy right now, I didn't ask."

Quan Zexi said another, "Oh."

Wan Kaiyi continued, "But the girl left her contact information. If you are interested -"

"I'll wait until I'm back." Quan Zexi interrupted him and hung up.

Wan Kaiyi, "..."

He knew how lazy the Duke was.

Quan Zexi truly was as lazy as possible. Other than international affairs that he must take care of personally, he never stepped up or helped others when unnecessary. 

Even when he does decide to help, he tends to procrastinate. 

After he rejected Wan Kaiyi's suggestion, Quan Zexi began to hum and went to the washroom. 

He had no idea how much his laziness this time will cost him. 

Qiao Qing and the others left the Quan family home.

Mu Jinghang snorted, "No wonder they control the royal family. The way they talk is very unwelcoming."

"We are on their turf so we have to play by their rules," Qiao Qing said, "We'll just have to wait a week."
