Rong Ruo toyed with her fingers and said bashfully, “Mom, what are you saying? What do you mean by what are my thoughts?”
Hu Xiuli noticed her daughter’s shy and cute expression and chuckled.
“Alright. I know that you actually look down on Qi Yu. Ever since you learned that Master Bo likes paintings, you’ve been practicing day and night and even had me visit Mr. Ye repeatedly so that I could make you an apprentice of the Chinese painting master. I know what you’re thinking.
“There’s no one more outstanding than Yunli in Imperial City. You’re both not married, too, so it’s not wrong for you to have such thoughts. But you must have a sense of propriety while dating Qi Yu. Don’t let him touch you. Yunli is a perfect person, so he definitely won’t like someone who has been deflowered.”
Rong Ruo nodded shyly, and she could not help but remember that man.
He had a noble air about him, but lived like an ascetic monk in his private life. He gave off the air of someone who was educated like royalty in his youth and was extremely outstanding, to the point that his indifferent attitude became a form of politeness.
Su Ye and he were worlds apart.
Only she, Rong Ruo, was a fitting match for him.
“You’re really outstanding, my Little Ruo, while Su Ye is a village bumpkin who cannot hope to compare to you. If Yunli were to choose for himself, he would definitely choose you.”
Mothers and daughters always saw eye to eye.
Su Ye was watching them through her bedroom window. At that moment, a wild look appeared on her face, and a profound smile showed up on her lips.
“Have a safe journey, you two! Send my regards to Master Rong!” she shouted to the two people who were whispering excitedly to each other.
The mother and daughter stiffened up visibly. They exchanged a glance, then realized that there was no way Su Ye could have heard what they were talking about from where she was. It was only then that they stiffly turned around and smiled at her.
How could Su Ye shout so loudly that they would be put on the spot? At moments like these, even if she saw them discussing something, she should pretend that she did not hear them. Really, what an uncultured person!
At dinner, Liu Guifang put food into Su Xing’s bowl and he passed all of it to his sister.
Su Ye took it all in stride.
Liu Guifang narrowed her eyes at Su Ye, who was having a good time eating. “Xing Xing, you’re still growing, so you should eat more. Your sister is already an adult, so if she eats a lot, she’s going to grow fat!”
Her words were laced with scorn.
Su Xing then began to eat the food in his bowl. “My sis is not fat.”
Usually, Xu Huanying would side with the former lady, but today, she decided to mediate the situation and spoke to Su Ye in a tone she was not quite familiar with. “Eat up, all of you. We don’t have fat genes in the family.”
After dinner, Su Ye returned to her room and turned on her laptop. Her thin and beautiful fingers flew over the keyboard.
Even when the sun set and the moon rose in a night sky full of stars, Su Ye did not stop.
At some point in time, a glass of milk was suddenly lifted with trembling hands onto her table.
Su Ye looked over and saw Su Xing. He was dressed in pyjamas with pictures of dumplings and standing on his tiptoes to put the glass of milk on her table.
Once he did it, he extended a fair and plump index finger to push the glass of milk in Su Ye’s direction with all his strength. He was so cautious that it was absolutely adorable.
Su Ye smiled. “Why aren’t you asleep?”
Su Xing looked up at her with moist eyes. His eyelashes were long and curled up. “It’s three o’clock. I’m five, so how could I not have slept yet? I just woke up.”
Su Ye cast a glance at the clock. He was right. It was already three in the morning.
She tapped a few keys on the keyboard before clicking send and closing her laptop. She took the glass of milk and drank it all with her head thrown back.
She gave off a carefree air, as if she was drinking alcohol.
Su Xing was really a considerate boy. He actually warmed up the milk for her.
Su Ye stretched her back, then her whole body. When her eyelids fell a little, she saw that Su Xing seemed to have something to say.
“What is it? Go on.”
