step by step

Chapter 85
When Ye Zhaoyan heard this, he raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and then said with a smile, "I'm just telling the truth."

Xue Zhiyan is cunning, even if the other party doubts, she will not be stupid enough to explain more.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's reluctance to talk more, Xue Zhiyan felt extremely aggrieved, and stared at the two even more energetically.

If she could get any news from it, she would definitely not let Ye Zhaoyan go.

Zhuo Yibai sighed inwardly when he saw the three confronting each other, and felt more and more sympathetic to Ye Zhaoyan.

Could Miss Ye Mansion be reduced to this point?

He was very curious about what Ye Zhaoyan said, but looking at it now, I am afraid that this matter is very mysterious, and even Ye Zhaoyan is a little unspeakable, so he cannot let the other two girls hear.

Seeing this, Wei Yu also fell into deep thought.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't explain anything, and led Zhuo Yibai to the scenery in the northwest corner, and saw a pavilion surrounded by lake water, which looked very quiet.

Outside the pavilion, the wall is low, revealing the green trees outside, and there are many wisterias and flowers around the wall, which still bloom with their unique beauty in this hot weather, making people unable to take their eyes off their eyes.

"Painter Bai, what do you think?" Ye Zhaoyan asked with a smile.

"Very good." Zhuo Yibai nodded, "As expected of Miss Ye's choice."

"I want a painting of the scenery here." Ye Zhaoyan said with a smile, "I also hope that Master Bai can fulfill my wish."

"Miss Ye is serious. There is no need to worry about trivial matters." Zhuo Yibai readily agreed.

Looking at Ye Zhaoyan's bright eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

He had never seen such an interesting girl.

Xue Zhiyan at the side looked at the two of them chatting so well, tightly clutching the handkerchief in his sleeve, his eyes flickering.

Such a handsome boy, if not for his humble status, I'm afraid even she couldn't help but be moved.

However, the outstanding temperament exuded from the young man made her feel a little unbelievable.

How could the person in front of him be just a well-known painter?
"Okay, little sister Zhaoyan, don't dawdle. Hurry up and draw, so we can leave earlier." Xue Youling couldn't help urging.

"I almost forgot the business." Zhuo Yibai smiled apologetically at the two, then walked to the painting table, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to describe the scene.

He drew very fast on the drawing paper, and within a short while, the exquisite pavilions and lofts, as well as the quiet lake water around him were already outlined on the drawing paper.

There are still some moss and vegetation growing in the lake water, which looks quite strange.

After finishing the painting, Zhuo Yibai took the sketch and walked up to Ye Zhaoyan.

After Ye Zhaoyan looked at it carefully, he exclaimed, "Sure enough, the painting is exquisite and lifelike."

"Miss Ye is full of praise." Zhuo Yibai cupped his hands humbly, and then said, "I wonder if Miss Ye is still satisfied?"

"This painting is indeed exquisite, but it's still a bit lacking in quality." Ye Zhaoyan shook his head and said.

"Really?"

Hearing this, the Xue sisters couldn't help but look at Ye Zhaoyan.

Wei Yu was also a little surprised, Miss Ye is a bit picky, although her son's paintings are not as good as everyone else's, they are still considered excellent.

"That's right. Although this painting is good, it's too plain and lacks any wit. The so-called finishing touch refers to drawing something vivid at the most critical position." Ye Zhaoyan frowned.

Zhuo Yibai nodded thoughtfully, with a trace of doubt in his heart.

What Ye Zhaoyan said was completely the opposite.

His painting skills are average, but he is full of heart.

"It's better to ask Painter Bai three days later. I believe that with Painter Bai's ability, it will definitely make people's eyes shine and make people a blockbuster."

Ye Zhaoyan said with a smile.

The Xue sisters were staring at each other, and it was difficult for her to say anything.

Although Xue Youling is stupid, Xue Zhiyan is cunning.

She dared not take any chances.

"In that case, obedience is worse than respect." Zhuo Yibai agreed with a wry smile, and the doubts in his heart deepened. What exactly does Miss Ye want to do?

"Sister Zhaoyan is probably inappropriate to do this!" Xue Zhiyan said coldly, "How can you invite outsiders to your house several times? If outsiders find out, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our girls from Yefu?"

"How do you say that?" Ye Zhaoyan asked with a smile.

Xue Youling snorted coldly and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, do you think that you are the eldest daughter of the Ye family, so you can be unscrupulous, don't take other sisters seriously, and do whatever you want?"

"This is too serious." Ye Zhaoyan smiled lightly, "I just wanted to ask someone for advice, why did I become so unscrupulous that I didn't take other sisters seriously?"

Xue Youling snorted coldly, and said: "Are you just trying to quibble? You clearly want to lure outsiders to visit Ye Mansion on purpose, and the purpose is to plot something wrong! I'm going to tell my grandmother that you won't be allowed to see a foreigner again in the future!"

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Xue Youling, his eyes turned cold.

She knew Xue Youling's naughty and obstinate temperament, and she might really sue Mrs. Xue.

In this way, it will be difficult to see Zhuo Yibai again in the future, and more seriously, the opportunity to contact outsiders will also be lost.

Xue Youling couldn't help shivering when she saw the cold eyes.

"You Ling, don't slander Zhaoyan's younger sister indiscriminately." Xue Zhiyan stopped her, "Zhaoyan's younger sister just has some kind of friendship with Master Bai, and she just wants to catch up on the old relationship before getting married."

There was a bit of meanness in her eyes, she looked at Ye Zhaoyan as if she was looking at an unruly woman.

get married? !
Zhuo Yibai felt suffocated in his heart, and looked at Ye Zhaoyan in surprise. He didn't expect that the second time they met, she would be getting married.

The girl's unearthly and refined posture that night flashed in his mind.

Is she getting married?
Ye Zhaoyan just smiled, "I really miss my old friend a little bit, so I want to ask him to reminisce about the past, it's not what you said, I don't know where you said that?"

Xue Zhiyan caught Zhuo Yibai's expression, and she was secretly happy, she knew that the two had some contacts in private.

She said maliciously: "Master Bai probably doesn't know about this, right? Sister Zhaoyan must have never told you that she is getting married!"

"I didn't expect that Miss Ye was going to get married. This is really unexpected." Zhuo Yibai said with a wry smile.

"Painter Bai, don't be surprised. When uncle comes back, sister Zhaoyan's marriage will be arranged." Xue Zhiyan laughed, with a hint of schadenfreude in her tone.

"So that's the case." Zhuo Yibai said lightly, "I don't know which family Miss Ye will marry?"

It's hard to imagine what kind of man in this world can be worthy of such a girl.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad in his heart.

"Naturally," Xue Zhiyan said slowly, then paused, and said with a slight smile, "Naturally he is the son of the Jiangnan Ji family."

"Ji family?" Zhuo Yibai frowned in surprise, "I heard it is a family of famous swordsmen..."

The door is not low, but it is a bit reluctant to match Ye Zhaoyan.

"Exactly." Xue Zhiyan said, "Jiangnan Ji's young master is an outstanding talent, with extraordinary swordsmanship, he is unique in Jiangnan. I think my younger sister Zhaoyan will be happy to marry such a young master."

"Really?" Zhuo Yibai looked at Ye Zhaoyan with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

"My mood at the moment is the same as that night on horseback." Ye Zhaoyan met his eyes calmly, "It's just that this time I can't do the next thing."

On horseback that night, the two of them were like desperadoes, avoiding the people chasing after them.

I believe Zhuo Yibai will not easily forget that scene.
