163 Useless Woman (1/2)

Lu Xinyi held the brush on the canvas and blushed. She was proud of her most emotionally cultured painting.

She couldn't remember a thing from past but her hands knew their way around. Consecutive cardio and yoga had made her sore muscles recover to an extent.

But she still got tired pretty much fast. Her doctor that visited her daily assured her that it was a common post-coma effect. Yu Youhan still had insisted for her to rest more and see the doctors on a regular basis.

According to her doctor, when she gets a strong trigger she will regain her memories and she couldn't wait for the day.

She often sat and wondered who her family were and why they haven't come to claim her but everybody refuse to tell her a thing.

That made her angry but her rage was always overshadowed by gratitude. They were doing a lot for her!

Yu Youhan had been a friend to her and all her assumptions about him were false!

He was rather fun to be around. He would make her laugh, even though he wasn't funny at all, but he...tried and that made her laugh.

He was a little aloof, grumpy and sometimes deadbeat but he was a good friend to her.

And...he was handsome too. Too manly and sturdy that she couldn't help but go red when he was around.

Since his arrival, the staff had been treating her better, even the brooding Butler smiled at her subtly sometimes. It was like her woes disappeared with his arrival!

Apparently not many people knew about her habits or hobbies because she was a secretive person but Yu Youhan didn't mind letting her pursuit her forgotten passion.

The very next day he got shooters, dancers, martial arts fighters, inventors, Chinese medicine-makers, golf and tennis players. One look at the bold sports, she knew she wouldn't even wander past them. And as expected, she was horrible in them.

She was a little disconcerted and unsettled but Yu Youhan got another set of instructors. This time they were of different nature.

Turns out she was a pro in cooking, gardening, painting and piano but all of these things she liked doing in privacy. Yu Youhan was the only one who heard her play and even plays with her sometimes in the evenings when he returned from office.

He was an expert in piano and taught her some difficult new tunes too.

When he was gone she would do her cardio. She was also learning how to boost her cooking and gardening skills. Yu Youhan cook and Gardener were immensely knowledgeable and patiently and politely taught her.

Brother Jiang visited the Mansion but hardly ever talked to her because Yu Youhan would always keep him busy. She missed him. Su Qing and He Zheng also limited their visits.

Yu Youhan said it was because of security purposes but she didn't understand what kind of threat her friends could pose?

Instead, he spent most of his time with her in the evening, took her for outings, shopping and even he took her to a masquerade ball last week. He said that it would keep her entertained until she recovers her memories and physical strength.

He had allowed her to use his grand piano and even made her an art room where she spent most of her time but she didn't want things or favours...

”What are you drawing?” Lu Xinyi jumped at the voice that startled her.

She turned around to see Yu Youhan standing there in his business suit. He had just come back from work.

He came first to see her every day when he returned home.

A gleeful smile bloomed on her face and she kissed his cheek, ”Youhan! You startled me!”

”Did I now,” he muttered eyeing the half made painting on the canvas, then turned to her, ”Why does that look like my assistant?”

Lu Xinyi laughed at his joke. Though it wasn't a joke from his side, ”Because he is your assistant!”

She turned to the painting and explained with enthusiasm, ”Brother Jiang birthday is coming soon and I wanted to give him something memorable. What do you think?”

Yu Youhan eyed the painting with a frown and muttered under his breath, ”I could've gotten him a 'memorable' gift for you.”

He didn't like her painting anyone else, just as he didn't like her blushing for anyone else even if it was her brother.

Call it possessiveness but he wanted all her emotions and feelings to be about him. Her whole world to revolve around him, and return he would bestow her the same.

She nodded her head not getting the hint, ”You could... but that would be by you not me. Besides I am free the whole day.”
