Alin snorted from his nose. Although this girl listened to him, he was still thinking about his foolish disciple. He still didn't have a good impression of the person in front of him.
"I've drawn some diagrams. Can you give me some pointers?" Ao Xue smiled cheerfully, as if she didn't care about his attitude at all.
Alin was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the man fighting for his disciple's life would actually eat the same bowl of rice. He stretched out his hand and stroked the mustache on his mouth. "Then take it."
Ao Xue nodded. She held her stomach as she entered the room. Seeing Ding Yiyi walking tiredly into the hall, she smiled. After she walked past, a painting fell to the ground.
Ding Yiyi rubbed her red and swollen eyes and immediately noticed the words on the ground. She picked up the painting and immediately knew that it was Ao Xue who dropped it.
"Where's Ao Xue?" She asked Dou Dou who was about to pass by. Dou Dou pointed toward the outside of the yard. "Lili went into the garden."
Ding Yiyi had just walked into the garden with the painting when she heard a conversation between Ao Xue and her master. The atmosphere between the two seemed to be quite good.
"Child, your aptitude is quite good. In the future, you will be able to achieve great things." Alin looked at her blueprint and agreed with satisfaction.
Ao Xue smiled. "I hope Teacher Alin will give me more advice in the future. Besides Aunt Yihan, it would be great if you could also become my master."
"Xia Yihan is your master?" Alin was a little surprised. If he looked at the painting more carefully, it was indeed Xia Yihan's style. Ao Xue nodded. "I sincerely hope that you can become my master. I will work hard."
Ding Yiyi listened quietly to their conversation. She had a feeling that Ao Xue wanted to snatch everything she had, no matter what it was.
"This girl's qualifications are really good. Fine, if you have any questions in the future, come and ask me." Alin didn't hate this girl. Although she couldn't compare to Ding Yiyi, she could occasionally give guidance.
Ding Yiyi turned around and walked away. However, she didn't notice Ao Xue raising her head to look at her meaningfully. She was incredibly pleased with herself. She wanted to snatch everything that mattered to her and cared about Ding Yiyi.
After lunch, Fu Fengyi stayed in her room to eat. The dining room was solemn as Aliin said in a serious tone, "Yiyi, come with me after dinner today!"
Ye Nianmo's expression turned serious. Just as he was about to speak, Ding Yiyi shook her head and said, "Master, I won't be going back for now. Let's wait until I'm done with my work here."
With a bang, Alin threw his fork onto the table. He looked somewhat angry, "What else do you want? I'm done. You're wasting your talent!"
Ding Yiyi's lips moved for a moment. She wanted Alin to just acknowledge Ao Xue as his disciple, but she knew that saying that would hurt her master. Her cheeks moved for a while, but she didn't say anything in the end.
Elaine tried to smooth things over, "Master, Yiyi is an adult now. She will find out for herself."
The moment his voice fell, Ao Xue who was sitting beside him continued, "Master Alin and this friend here, since you travelled all the way to China, you might as well stay for a few more days. Let us at Ye Family do our host's duty."
Ye Nianmo gently placed his fork next to the plate. He picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth, then picked up his goblet and swirled the wine within. Elaine started to panic as he watched the woman talking to him. He was paying attention to Ye Nianmo's movements and felt disdain in his heart.
"Hmph, there's no need!" Anyways, my disciple is now a free woman, so you are not allowed to imprison her. " Alin exhaled heavily through his nose.
Ye Nianmo shifted his gaze to Ding Yiyi. "What do you think?"
"I know what you're trying to say. I'll take on my own debt." Ding Yiyi turned her head and patted her master's hand. "Thank you, disciple is the one who has worried you."
Alin was so agitated by her words that he wanted to cry. He could only whisper, "You child!"
After lunch, Ding Yiyi insisted on going to the garden to water the flowers. Cold droplets of water spurted out of the cracks in the pipes and soaked her hands.
She pointed the water pipe at the winter sun, and when she saw the rainbow bridge built under the water curtain, her mood inexplicably brightened. Suddenly, a cold hand reached into her scarf and tightly pressed against the skin of her neck, causing her to uncontrollably shiver.
"Elaine!" Ding Yiyi turned around and looked at him with an expressionless face. Her eyes were cold, with an unapproachable coldness.
Elaine carefully observed her expression. Seeing that there was no smile on her face, he suddenly became flustered, "Yiyi, are you angry? I didn't do it on purpose."
He walked closer to her and tried his best to explain. Suddenly, a crack appeared in Ding Yiyi's cold expression, and her husband's cold eyes became crafty. Elaine didn't know what had happened as his collar was pulled open, and a pair of ice-cold hands pressed against his warm neck.
"It's so cold!" Elaine covered his own neck and hid behind a bush of flowers. He looked at Ding Yiyi with a grimace.
Ding Yiyi's eyes were brimming with pride after her success. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised, forming a beautiful curve. Her pink lips sparkled under the sunlight. Elaine was a little dazed watching this scene.
"Miss Yiyi, Young Master wants you to go to the study room." The housekeeper calmly looked at the two of them. He could not forget the sinister look on his young master's face when he saw them in the study room.
Ding Yiyi's smile froze in that instant. The corner of her mouth lifted upwards as the light in her eyes dimmed.
She followed the butler and left. Elaine wanted to go up to her, but someone called out to him softly, "Your name is Elaine?"
He turned around and curiously looked at the Oriental woman who greeted him. He had to admit that after coming to China, she was very pretty and so was this woman in front of him.
"Why are you staring at me?" Ao Xue blinked at him, her expression playful.
"Nothing." Elaine quickly recovered his calm expression, which still held a trace of hostility.
Ao Xue didn't seem to care at all as she continued to spray the water pipe onto the surrounding flowerbeds. "Yi Yi is my sister. Thank you for taking care of her in France earlier."
"Your sister!" Elaine looked at her in surprise, while his deep blue eyes were filled with confusion.
Ao Xue smiled gently at him, "Our parents have separated since we were young. Nianmo and I grew up in different places. Nianmo and I have been childhood friends since we were young. Perhaps because we are related by blood, we like the same things."
"Why are you telling me this?" Elaine's tone was a bit slow. Towards such a gentle woman, even if men didn't like her, they wouldn't really hate her.
Ao Xue turned around and turned off the water. She rubbed her stomach, looking at her with eyes full of love, "It's nothing. It's just that no one spoke at Ye Family, so I couldn't help but speak a little more whenever I met someone."
She lowered her head slightly, and her pointed chin had a very nice curve to it. Even if she was pregnant, there was still a certain charm to it, and the scene was very quiet. She smiled and raised her head, "Nothing, I just want to thank you for being nice to my sister. Oh right, don't tell her, because she has enmity towards me."
She nodded to him before leaving. Just as she entered the living room, her warm smile collapsed and she calmly went to Fu Fengyi's room.
Fu Fengyi was lying on her side on the bed and Dou Dou was massaging her legs. When she saw Ao Xue, her expression turned slightly better. "Why didn't you rest more?"
Ao Xue sighed. "I just went to find that blue-eyed foreign man."
"Why are you looking for him?" Although Fu Fengyi's expression was indifferent, it wasn't all that good. When she thought about how that old man had teased her back then, she couldn't help but feel infuriated.
"You should be able to tell that Elaine is interested in Yiyi. Yiyi is one of our Ye Family after all, and since Nianmo likes her so much, and since I'm her sister, I have to discipline her a little, so she can't lose the limelight of Ye Family."
"You're the only one who has such magnanimity." Fu Fengyi patted the back of her hand with a serious expression on her face. "Yi Yi, that child. I really don't know what to say about her!"
Ao Xue got up slowly and chatted with Fu Fengyi for a while before she walked out the door. Ye Nianmo was on her mind, so Ao Xue decided to go to the study to meet him.
In the study, Ye Nianmo was fully focused on handling documents. Ding Yiyi was sitting on a chair by the window and she was staring at the clouds as if she was in a daze.
Even the oxygen in the air seemed to have weakened, and the sound of paper being flipped could be heard occasionally. Ao Xue watched quietly, her hand on the doorknob, but she eventually let go.
Ding Yiyi looked out of the window at the clouds and turned around to glare at Ye Nianmo out of boredom. Ding Yiyi looked out of the window and stared out of boredom at Ye Nianmo.
It was too quiet. Ye Nianmo glanced at her and pressed the walkie-talkie on the table. Soon, someone knocked on the door and the steward brought the delicate snacks over and placed them in front of Ding Yiyi.
Ding Yiyi couldn't hold it in any longer, she ran over and slammed her hand on his table. "Why are you calling me!?"
Ye Nianmo put down the pen in his hand. He raised his head and looked at the furious Ding Yiyi beside him. Suddenly, he stood up and Ding Yiyi quickly retreated out of habit.
A hand reached out and passed through Ding Yiyi's waist. Due to the pressure, the clothes were slightly numb from the friction between the material and the skin on her waist.
His breath landed on Ding Yiyi's face. Somehow, she started to blush. Ye Nianmo retracted his hand and held a delicate biscuit in his hand.
"Open your mouth," he ordered plainly. Ding Yiyi was still hesitating whether she had been seen blushing. Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she still opened her mouth as he had said.
With a small biscuit stuffed into her mouth, Ye Nianmo went back to his work at the table. Ding Yiyi held the biscuit in her mouth, her big eyes blinking. Apparently, she was still in a state of shock.
The air was still filled with the smell of silence, the central air-conditioning was giving off a warm air. No one in the room spoke, only the faint sound of chewing and the occasional rustling of papers.
