Chapter 29

Gu Nanyan had a keen interest in oil painting and wanted to find some books on the bookshelf to learn more about this painting technique.

However, as she turned her gaze, she saw a pair of bright and timid eyes at the doorway.

It was Le Xuanji.

Le Xuanji had been watching at the door for a long time. When Gu Nanyan was instructing Zhan Yiran, she was there.

Just like Zhan Yiran, she was equally stunned.

Le Xuanji repeatedly asked herself, was she painting because she loved it, or because she was the granddaughter of Master Le?

After asking herself many times, she still couldn’t find a precise answer.

Painting from a young age, the art had already integrated into her body. Le Xuanji couldn’t distinguish her true thoughts anymore.

All she knew was that she wanted to paint, to keep painting, and to paint for a lifetime.

Le Xuanji came to seek Gu Nanyan’s guidance, but she had been standing at the door for a long time, not daring to enter.

She was afraid that Gu Nanyan would despise her.

After hesitating for so long, she didn’t expect to be noticed by Gu Nanyan.

This was bad!

Le Xuanji almost cried. Now, Gu Nanyan must hate her even more, thinking that she was eavesdropping, and acting surreptitiously.

She clenched her fingers tightly, waiting for the judgment of the other party.

Would Gu Nanyan scold her? Or frown in disgust?

Thinking of the next scene, Le Xuanji almost collapsed.

However, none of the scenarios she imagined happened.

Gu Nanyan, as if seeing something amusing, laughed lightly, “Look, I caught a startled little bunny.”

With that, she gestured for Le Xuanji to come over: “Little bunny, come here.”

She called her a little bunny!

With a blush on her face, Le Xuanji slowly walked in.

Feeling incredibly embarrassed, she lowered her head and spoke softly, “Mrs. Zhan, I hope you can help me review my painting and give me some advice. Of course, if you are busy, you don’t have to bother with me.”

Le Xuanji nervously waved her hand.

Gu Nanyan lightly tapped her chin towards the desk, signaling Le Xuanji to unroll her painting.

With Gu Nanyan’s approval, Le Xuanji was overjoyed and hurriedly unrolled the painting she brought.

“Mrs. Zhan, take a look.”

Gu Nanyan walked over, looked at it carefully, and then nodded, “Not bad, the painting is very good.”

Upon hearing Gu Nanyan’s praise, Le Xuanji’s eyes sparkled, as if twinkling with light.

If she had a tail, it would surely be wagging.

“However, this part lacks a bit of charm. You should start your brush stroke like this,” Gu Nanyan guided.

Le Xuanji tried to follow Gu Nanyan’s guidance, but no matter what, it didn’t feel right. She was so anxious that she began to sweat.

However, the more anxious she was, the worse her painting became, and it seemed like she was about to ruin the painting.

Just then, a cool fragrance wafted from behind, followed by a hand as cool as jade, covering her right hand.

Gu Nanyan moved behind Le Xuanji, holding her right hand, guiding her brush strokes.

With a flick and a lift, a swallow ready to take flight was sketched out.

Then, a small stream was added to the lower left corner.

The entire painting came alive instantly. The stream was babbling, the swallow was flying, the painting was full of spring, as if it had transported the viewer into the scene.

Le Xuanji was instantly captivated.

By the time she regained her senses, she realized that it was Gu Nanyan who had been holding her hand, guiding her hand as they drew together.

Thinking about it, that subtle, cold fragrance, Le Xuanji’s cheeks flared up, as if on fire, a bright, glowing red.

She was extremely embarrassed, “Mrs. Zhan, thank you.”

Having said that, Le Xuanji clenched her left hand, continuously encouraging herself inwardly, then mustered the courage to look up: “Can, can I call you Nanyan?”

Le Xuanji felt that Gu Nanyan was like an older sister, but they were about the same age, and she was even a little older than Gu Nanyan, so she couldn’t call her sister.

So, she could only take a step back, call her by her name.

Asking this, Le Xuanji was extremely nervous, she didn’t dare to look up at Gu Nanyan, her heart pounding as if a small rabbit was thumping around inside, making her feel anxious and uneasy.

“Sure, you call me Nanyan, and I’ll call you Xuanji.”

Gu Nanyan’s words instantly brightened Le Xuanji’s eyes, she looked up suddenly, her eyes shining with astonishment.

Her joy was beyond words.

“Nanyan, can I really call you Nanyan?”

Le Xuanji was so happy that she didn’t know what to do. Like a little rabbit, she circled around Gu Nanyan, excitedly grabbing her sleeve.

Zhan Yiran stood to the side, watching the scene before her with a sour expression. A sense of crisis flashed through her mind.Thê sourc𝗲 of this content n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

She then remembered Le Xuanji’s actions of cooking to please her sister-in-law earlier, and suddenly felt that Le Xuanji was being manipulative.

Le Xuanji, this little vixen, wanted to snatch her sister-in-law from her!

Zhan Yiran would never allow it!

Thinking of this, Zhan Yiran immediately moved over, tugging on Gu Nanyan’s other sleeve: “Sister-in-law, I want it too. I want you to hold my hand and teach me to draw.”

Gu Nanyan pulled her hand out and lightly tapped on Zhan Yiran’s smooth forehead, chiding: “Are you a child? Just because someone has something, you want it too?

Your current level is not enough, go solidify your basics first.”

Zhan Yiran looked downcast, then she noticed Le Xuanji covering her lips and snickering.

Humph, this little rabbit, she’s actually laughing at her!

Zhan Yiran was angry.

Le Xuanji seemed to not notice Zhan Yiran’s anger and said: “Let me teach you in the future, I’ll help you lay the groundwork, so Nanyan doesn’t have to be troubled.”

Hearing this, Zhan Yiran’s eyes widened in horror.

This manipulative woman, she actually wants to separate her and her sister-in-law, intending to monopolize her sister-in-law!

Humph, Le Xuanji is not a rabbit at all, she’s clearly a sly fox.

Zhan Yiran absolutely cannot let her snatch her sister-in-law, she grabbed hold of Gu Nanyan’s sleeve and shook it: “Sister-in-law, it’s getting late, let’s go home. We’ve been disturbing the Le family for a long time.”

Gu Nanyan looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already 3 in the afternoon, it was indeed time to leave.

So she nodded: “Alright.”

Seeing Gu Nanyan about to leave, Le Xuanji’s bright eyes suddenly dimmed. She had only chatted with Nanyan for a short while, was Nanyan leaving already?

Le Xuanji hurriedly tried to keep them: “Stay a bit longer, stay the night. I have so much more to talk to you about.”

“No way!”

Zhan Yiran stood fiercely in front of Gu Nanyan, not allowing Le Xuanji to approach her. “It’s very late already, my sister-in-law is very tired. Do you want to exhaust her?”

She didn’t want to exhaust Gu Nanyan. Le Xuanji immediately shook her head, “No, that’s not what I mean.”

Zhan Yiran put her hands on her hips, “Humph, you better not exhaust my sister-in-law, otherwise I’ll be unpleasant to you.”

Upon saying this, she put away her fierce expression, switched to a soft and cute demeanor, and looked at Gu Nanyan, “Sister-in-law, let’s go.”

Gu Nanyan nodded, turned to Le Xuanji, “There is still plenty of time in the future, Xuanji can come to the Zhan family to find me.”

Then, she said her goodbyes to the Old Master and Le’s Mother, and left with Zhan Yiran.

As they were leaving, Zhan Yiran was extremely happy, smugly lifting her chin at Le Xuanji.

Gu Nanyan is her sister-in-law, and no one can take her away.
