Chapter 96, Sweet Afternoon
A private room in a seafood restaurant.

Sister Liao looked at the menu casually, glancing at Jiang Zhe from time to time.

Jiang Zhe stood by the window, holding his cell phone and talking to his father. "It's done... The thing you mentioned... Nothing happened. I thought about it and decided to forget it... Yes, you're right. Well, I'm having dinner with my friends now."

After reporting to his parents that he was safe, Jiang Zhe returned to his seat and saw Sister Liao pouring tea for him. "Thank you."

Sister Liao said, "I ordered a few things. I don't know what you like. Please add a few more dishes."

Jiang Zhe said, "I don't know what delicious food there is here, just order what you like. It's enough as long as I can eat my fill." After all the hassles and missed the lunch time, he was really hungry.

Sister Liao opened a bottle of champagne: "Today, you escaped unscathed, which is worth celebrating. This wine is just average, so just make do with it for now."

They both raised their glasses and drank the wine in them.

The cool and sweet wine is bubbly and is especially thirst-quenching.

Sister Liao poured wine for Jiang Zhe and asked, "Do you know who that Du is?"

Jiang Zhe said indifferently: "I still want to ask you."

Sister Liao asked curiously, "Who dares to say that to him?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Is it useful to keep silent?"

Sister Liao rested her arms on the table, resting her chin on her hand, staring at Jiang Zhe, "You were particularly charming when facing them today."

Jiang Zhe drank another glass of champagne and looked up at Sister Liao. "I also scolded your ex-husband, and you are so happy?"

Sister Liao snorted and briefly recounted how Vice President Wei had used her connections to benefit his mistress.

Jiang Zhe put down the cup. "Let's not talk about him. I never knew why Du wanted to target me."

Just as Sister Liao was about to answer, the waiter came in and served the dishes.

After the waiter left, Sister Liao ordered more food for Jiang Zhe. "I guess those two guys wanted to deal with me, and you were just an innocent victim.

When you stood up today, I felt protected. I haven't felt this way for a long time."

Jiang Zhe looked at Sister Liao. "Really? With your abilities, do you still need someone to protect you?"

"I am a woman too." Sister Liao said, and at this moment, her cell phone rang.

Sister Liao sighed, picked up the phone and listened for a while, then said, "Okay, come over." She told them where to eat and hung up.

Jiang Zhe asked: "Who?"

Sister Liao said, "Who else could it be? Xiao Ning, I was worried about you and had to come over."

"Oh, wait a minute."

"Don't wait, just eat. When she comes, you can order more."

The two waited for a while before Ning Anchi arrived.

After asking about Jiang Zhe's situation, she told him some of the information she had learned.

The waiter knocked on the door and came in, bringing some new dishes.

Jiang Zhe saw Sister Liao ordered a portion of oysters for him.

He had never eaten this thing, but he had heard of it.

After the waiter left, Ning Anchi continued the previous topic.

Jiang Zhe ate an oyster and suddenly felt something soft and warm touching his leg.

He made a move.

That thing is climbing up mischievously.

He looked at the two girls who were eating.

Ning Anchi was talking; Sister Liao listened carefully and didn't look like anyone.

However, from an analysis perspective, Sister Liao is more likely.

He observed carefully.

Sister Liao seemed to know nothing, seldom ate, and only occasionally spoke a few words to Ning Anchi.

However, by sensing the change in the force of that thing, Jiang Zhe determined that it was Sister Liao who was causing trouble.

He lifted his leg slightly, preparing to respond.

Huh? That little thing is gone again.

Not only that, because the movement was a bit too big, it also rubbed other places.

Ning Anchi paused.

Sister Liao lowered her head and drank.

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to eat his meal obediently and pretend nothing had happened.

After the meal, Sister Liao and Ning Anchi left for something, and Jiang Zhe went home alone.

Jiang Yi and his wife were relieved only after seeing their son return home.

Jiang Zhe didn't stay at home for long before going to the studio to complete his daily learning.

On the way, I received a call from Sister Liao.

"Jiang Zhe, what are you doing this afternoon?"

"To the studio."

"Can I visit your studio?"

"Welcome." Jiang Zhe couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Zhe met Sister Liao downstairs in the studio.

Just an hour later, Sister Liao changed into a dress and her face became even more rosy.

He took Sister Liao to visit the studio.

Sister Liao was walking around in the studio, fanning herself with her hands.

Jiang Zhe gave her a fan and said, "I don't have an air conditioner here. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay. I'm sweating because I'm drinking."

Jiang Zhe made tea for her.

Sister Liao sat on the chair, picked up the cup, blew on it, but didn't rush to drink. "Jiang Zhe, I want to ask you a question. You have painted portraits of me and Xiao Ning. Do you think I look good?"

Jiang Zhe said: "To be fair - beautiful."

Sister Liao asked with interest: "Tell me about it, use your professional perspective."

Jiang Zhe stared at Sister Liao seriously. After observing her for a while, he said, "Your facial lines are soft and your eyes are smiling. You look a bit like the most beautiful version of Yang Guifei."

Sister Liao scolded: "You said I was fat?"

"No!" Jiang Zhe said, "It's more like symmetrical and sweet."

"You're good at talking." Sister Liao said, "Jiang Zhe, I like Ingres's famous work - Fountain. Can you help me draw a similar work?"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Okay."

When he turned around to prepare his painting tools, he heard rustling sounds behind him.

When he set up his drawing board, he saw that Sister Liao had been honest with him.

She walked to an empty space in the studio and struck an elegant pose. "May I?"

Jiang Zhe tried to calm down: "Okay, hold on, I'll record it with a sketch."

He tried hard to block out all distracting thoughts and concentrate on observing the image.

Once you have a rough idea in mind, start sketching.

Jiang Zhe imitated Ingres' composition and brushwork, using lines as much as possible and using less light and shade. Soon, a simple figure sketch was completed.

"Sister Liao, you can take a break now."

Sister Liao walked to the easel and looked at the sketch. "Good, it's really beautiful."

She then said to Jiang Zhe: "Can you take a shower here? I'm sweating too much."

Jiang Zhe said, "Yes. I'll get you a new towel."

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble." Sister Liao took the towel and walked into the bathroom.

Jiang Zhe felt hot as he listened to the water splashing in the bathroom.

Sister Liao took a quick shower and said, "Jiang Zhe, I have some clothes in my bag, help me get them."

Jiang Zhe opened Sister Liao's bag and found only a black nightgown inside.

He handed in the clothes.

Soon, Sister Liao came out, drying her hair.

Jiang Zhe's gaze was involuntarily drawn over.

The suspender pajamas make Sister Liao's figure more obvious.

The worst part was that she hung wet clothes on the clothes rack.

"You do not mind right?"

"...I don't mind." Jiang Zhe felt that he was sweating too.

"I see you are sweating, do you want to go take a shower?" Sister Liao suggested.

Jiang Zhe swallowed and ran to take a shower.

The water today is not cold enough.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Sister Liao standing in front of the easel.

Just now, it was all in vain.

When Sister Liao heard the voice, she turned around and looked at Jiang Zhe, then slowly walked towards Jiang Zhe.

"Jiang Zhe, I feel a little guilty."

"why?"

"You almost fell victim to Wei and Du's tricks. Aren't you angry?"

"Being angry is towards them."

Sister Liao said: "Men can't hold back their anger. If they are angry, they have to let it out."

Her smile disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. "Those two people are probably going to go to jail, and you won't have any more chances to retaliate against them. Now, the person standing in front of you is Vice President Wei's ex-wife. You can vent your anger."

Jiang Zhe's expression remained unchanged, but his 19-year-old body was very honest.

He leaned forward to avoid looking too awkward.

Sister Liao noticed his little action, reached out to take off the soft hair knot, made an eight-shape, and tied her wrists.

She slowly raised her handcuffed hands and looked into Jiang Zhe's eyes, tears almost dripping from them.

Jiang Zhe silently went to check the door and took double insurance measures. After coming back, he approached Sister Liao step by step.

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Sister Liao slowly stepped back: "I saw your reaction during the meal." She said sadly: "Maybe I was just being sentimental."

Jiang Zhe raised his hand and gently pushed her shoulder.

Sister Liao fell on the bed and stepped back.

Jiang Zhe raised his hand to catch the Bai Yu lotus root that was already within reach.

Sister Liao changed her previous sad expression and looked at Jiang Zhe lovingly.

……

A man in a neighboring house heard the faint sound of pounding garlic.

"Who eats dumplings on such a hot day?"

The daughter-in-law next to him looked at him sadly.
