Chapter 98 (2/2)
Ling Tian responded with a laugh, ”Both of you ladies are considered smart and understand my Ling Family. Why is there a need to ask such a question?”
This brat is indeed a good talker! While he answered their question, it can be said that he did not answer them at all, as good as saying nothing. The reason why Ling Tian was concealing himself was a huge taboo for anyone present to mention it. The both ladies felt extremely depressed.
Yu BingYan then composed herself and did not beat about the bush any further, ”Back then, this little sister saw your mystical painting skills and deeply admired you in my heart. Today, I paid a sudden visit to young n.o.ble in hope that you can teach me.”
Just when Ling Tian was laughing to himself as he saw how the both of them were stumped for words, Yu BingYan suddenly cut to the chase. He could not help but praise in his heart, ”This little princess of the Yu family is indeed extraordinary, with every single word of hers so gentle but yet so strong.”
Yu BingYan’s words sounded extremely simple, it first stated her purpose for coming to answer Ling Tian’s previous question. At the same time, it was to prevent herself from being led on by Ling Tian’s words. Furthermore, she purposefully emphasized on how she witnessed his mystical painting skills to remind Ling Tian that if he did not agree, his secret would no longer be kept.
Ling Tian laughed bitterly, ”Forgive my rudeness, but I have not asked this little sister for your name.” At the same time, he joyfully thought to himself, ”This is the greatest benefit of acting as a silkpants. If not, how can I call a random lady who I just met a little sister?”
Yu BingYan was stunned for a moment as she realized that she had only been calling herself ‘little sister’, and had not introduced herself yet. The words of Ling Tian was obviously trying to tease her! She could not help but be embarra.s.sed and angered as she said hatefully, ”This little girl has the surname Yu, Yu BingYan.”
Ling Tian snickered in his heart, after hearing how she called herself ‘little girl’ instead, it was obvious that she was dissatisfied. With a smile, he said, ”The autumn waters as G.o.d with the frozen jade as colors. This little sister has a good name! It seems that the one who came up with this little sister’s name is also an exceptional person. I wonder who is this talented figure?”
Yu BingYan was stumped as she thought to herself, ”This fellow is obviously trying to find out my origins. He is actually trying to find that out from my name. Furthermore, he is able to maintain such a calm disposition when asking that. It seems that when he heard my surname, he already had an idea of where I came from.” Only then did she realize that she had already fell for his trap. In embarra.s.sment and anger, she had given out her name. In this generation, it was a completely different meaning for a lady to give her name to a guy.
Thinking about this, her face could not help but burn as she heard him calling her ‘little sister’ again. Looking at the smirk of self satisfaction which Ling Tian seemed to have, Yu BingYan was both abashed and angered as she scolded, ”Since you have already guessed it, why bother asking?” As she said that, she was also shocked by her own tone as she thought, ”Just what is wrong with me? Why am I so easily influenced by him?” She could not help but take a few deep breaths in order to calm herself down.
Ling Tian laughed, ”That’s right. So, this little sister is indeed born in an aristocratic family. No wonder you carry yourself with such a dignified and graceful bearing.” At the same time, he snickered in his heart, ”La.s.s, it is far too late for you to find out now.”
However, Ling Tian’s words gave Yu BingYan a misconception, ”So, he was only guessing previously but did not dare to be certain. It seems that my words were akin to confirming his guess.”
As she thought about that, she was no longer willing to be on the defence. Thus, she initiated an attack, ”Young n.o.ble Ling says that this little sister has a graceful bearing. But, this little sister’s appearance is not worth mentioning at all. It seems that you are ridiculing this little sister’s ugly appearance?”
