“Superior Zhuge has arrived!”
“Hahahaha! Brother Ye, for our friendship’s sake, I’ll just get straight to the point. My daughter Meng-er requested that I bring this letter and an embroidered heart handkerchief for your good son.Judging from this, my daughter must have affections towards your son. Why don’t we become relatives by marriage, that will form a great bond between both our families….”
“Superior Cheng has arrived!”
……
“Superior Liu has arrived!”
……
“Superior Ou Yang has arrived!”
“Superior Lu has arrived!”
“Superior Huang has arrived!”
“Superior Wu has arrived!”
“Superior Xia has arrived!”
……………………
Ye Wuchen’s brows had beaded with sweat initially, but by this point he was sweating profusely, almost falling off the roof. When Wang Wenshu commanded a servant to go and call him, he hurriedly dashed straight in the direction of his own courtyard.
Back in his room, he picked up Ning Xue and was prepared to escape when coincidentally Xiao Lu happened to come in carrying their lunch, and said in a gentle voice, “Young Master, a moment ago I just happened to come across the Young Mistress and she asked that you head to her place if you have free time.”
As if hearing a voice from heaven, he wished he could hug and kiss Xiao Lu. He promptly carried Ning Xue and dashed out like the wind, but came dashing back with a serious face, “Xiao Lu, tell Ye Qi and Ye Ba or anyone looking for me that I’m not here. Tell them I went out for a walk and will be back by evening. Did you hear what I said? Tell the same to Madame and Master too!”
“Ah…. yes!”
Ye Wuchen resumed dashing out like wind, his speed stunning Xiao Lu.
Ye Shuiyao’s courtyard was just as peaceful as before. For Ye Wuchen, no other place was safer. Because no one in the Ye family would set foot in this courtyard unless they had business, no one will know that he was hiding here. Ye Wuchen walked to the study. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and headed inside.
A familiar, elegant fragrance hit him in the face. Ye Wuchen was enchanted as he breathed it in. The beautiful woman inside the room did not make a sound. Aside from Ye Wuchen, no one would enter without knocking.
“Receiving a summons from big sister, your brother was overwhelmed by such favor. Could it be possible that big sister missed me?”
Ye Shuiyao turned around to look at him, then turned back, her voice clear and cold. “Come here and teach me how to paint.”
Placing Ning Xue on a chair, he secretly made a hushing gesture and proceeded to quietly stand beside Ye Shuiyao. Ye Shuiyao’s body obviously went stiff from his approach, but immediately recovered, placing on a new sheet of painting paper.
“Teach me how to paint that Twin Lotus Flowers on One Stalk.”
