Chapter 384 – Unsightly! (2/2)
“Husband is fulfilling his filial piety, as your wife I understand. But don't you worry that your father will be disturbed by the gift of Muyang?” Gongsun Yu said grudgingly. “If it weren't for him, my child Muyang——how would my child Muyang suffer so much pain? How would he be blamed for so many crimes? How would——how would us parents not be able to reunite with him?”
Lu Qingming's face revealed a painful expression, as he said in an ashamed tone of voice: “Xiao Yu, I understand your feelings, I also know you hate my father. My Lu family owes you, there's nothing I can explain. But——it is my father's 60th birthday, I want to make him happy. Also the Lu family is going through a difficult time, life or death and rise or fall are unknown——I do not want him to have any regret. I also don't want to leave with any regret.”
Gongsun Yu gently sighed, and after a long while, said aloud: “If he knew it would be like this, then he should not have acted that way?”
“This is the will of the heavens.” Lu Qingming firmly grasped his wife's hand, saying in a low voice——
Bang bang bang——
There came several loud knocks at the door. No, it should be said several kicks to the door.
Someone who could do something like this, there was only Li Muyang's little sister Li s.h.i.+nian.
As expected, before Li Muyang could say 'please come in', Li s.h.i.+nian had kicked the door open.
When she saw the helpless expression in Li Muyang's eyes, she immediately went back out again and closed the room door, standing in the doorway and softly asked: “Big brother, can I come in?”
“Come in,” Li Muyang sighed. When will this girl be able to learn to knock on the door first before entering someone else's room?
Li s.h.i.+nian once again pushed the door in and grinned “Big brother, you're awake?”
“I got up earlier.” Li Muyang set aside the brush in his hand before he continued, “but it's strange that you woke up so early. Come on, what's the matter with you getting up so early?”
“I did it for you.” Li s.h.i.+nian said, grinning. “Brother, do you remember what I said to you last night?”
“I don't remember.” Li Muyang shook his head.
“I told Sister Xiaoxin last night that I will tell you to bring the 'Winter plum blossoms bloom proudly in snow' painting to her early in the morning——Last night when we were parting Sister Xiaoxin also specifically mentioned this matter. Hurry wash up and bring the 'Winter plum blossoms bloom proudly in snow' painting to her.”
“Haven't you gave her that painting already?”
“I did but there was not a single thing on the painting, it was nothing but a blank sheet of paper. Do you think I could tell Sister Xiaoxin that the painting you are holding is the 'Winter plum blossoms bloom proudly in snow'? In that case, is that not telling others that Li Mu is Li Muyang and Li Muyang is Li Mu.”
“You have taken the painting, I have to re-draw another one.” Li Muyang explained.
“That is of course. Hurry draw now. Once you finish immediately bring it over, do not make Sister Xiaoxin wait long.”
Worried that Li Muyang would delay, she headed straight over to Li Muyang's desk. “I will set up the paper for you and will grind ink for you, you can start now.”
“Don't worry, I will draw——” As Li Muyang was speaking, he hurriedly used his body to block Li s.h.i.+nian.
“Huh?” Li s.h.i.+nian narrowed her eyes. “Li Muyang, what are you doing? What are you hiding? Oh, heavens, you're not looking at those erotic books again, are you? You still haven't gotten rid of those bad old habits before.”
“What bad habits did I have before——wasn't it you who wanted to read those books?”
“Yuck yuck——I am as clear as ice and clean as jade, I would never touch those books.” Li s.h.i.+nian lightly bit her thin lips, as she stared at Li Muyang. “Are you going to take it out, or do you want me to s.n.a.t.c.h it off you?”
“I really don't have those books.”
“Its not those books? Don't tell me you brought back something more unsightly from Starry Sky Academy?” Li s.h.i.+nian curiously stretched out her little hand. “Quickly let me see.”
“——”
While Li Muyang was stunned for words, Li s.h.i.+nian suddenly rushed up behind Li Muyang, and quickly lifted up a paper full of writing that Li Muyang was covering up. A fragrant 'Winter plum blossoms bloom proudly in snow' painting was right in sight. And, it was the painting that Li s.h.i.+nian wanted to give to Cui Xiaoxin last night.
Li s.h.i.+nian grinned. “I was worried that someone would feel unconfident to go. So it was all prepared——Were you that impatient? No wonder you hurried back home last night?”
Li Muyang's face suddenly went red in a 'swoosh', trying to explain, “I was worried that I would forget how to draw the painting, so——I practiced several times.”
