I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With Chapter 747: Even if Unmatched in Splendor, Contentment Rema
The scene fell into dead silence.
"Let go of her now, release her!" The uncle with the gold chain slapped the host on the head. The host, with a face like he was at a funeral, called to his people, "Quick, quick, quick! Unlock it!"
Damn it, of all people to provoke, they had to ss with Third Master’s people?
Soone unlocked Ning Xixi, leading her down the stage.
The mont she saw Third Master Qin’s face clearly, she felt an urge to cry.
She never expected her rescuer to be Third Master!
...
Qin Mansion.
Third Master Qin had a servant take Ning Xixi to bathe and also sent soone to call Ji Yebai.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, he lit a cigar, expertly blowing rings of smoke.
Wrapped in a bath towel, Ning Xixi opened the door to the bathroom, and the servant gestured, "Miss Ning, there are clothes here. See if there’s anything you like. Third Master has instructed that if you don’t like them, we will imdiately send soone to the store to buy so for you."
Ning Xixi looked towards the walk-in closet and was startled.
Clothes, bags, shoes from various brands filled several cabinets, mostly mature and graceful styles, always giving her a familiar feeling.
The servant sighed, "The brands of clothes here are said to be favored by the Third Master’s beloved. For so many years now, new models are replaced monthly."
Ning Xixi glanced at those brands and fell silent.
At the Ning Family, she had seen many clothes from these brands.
Those were all her mother’s favorites.
"Sorry, Miss Ning, I spoke out of turn." The servant bowed slightly, "Do you need to prepare more clothes for you?"
"No need to trouble yourself." Ning Xixi randomly picked a white dress to put on; it was slightly oversized, the hem passing her knees.
Entering the living room, she saw Third Master Qin staring blankly at a painting.
A splash-ink landscape painting full of ancient charm, signed... it was Song Weiyang’s na.
Sensing Ning Xixi’s gaze, Third Master Qin extinguished his cigarette, "Let’s go eat."
"I’m not hungry." Ning Xixi awkwardly said, "I want to go ho."
"Ji Family’s young master will co to pick you up in a while, you should eat sothing first."
Ning Xixi didn’t know how to refuse and quietly sat down at the dining table to eat.
When Ji Yebai arrived, he saw Ning Xixi with her cheeks puffed up eating.
The heavy stone in his heart finally landed, and he exhaled a long breath, "Erxi."
"Dabai!" Ning Xixi’s eyes shone, and she put down her chopsticks and threw herself into his arms.
Ji Yebai hugged her tightly as if afraid that if he loosened his grip, she would vanish.
Thank goodness... thank goodness she was alright.
"Dabai, I want to go ho."
Hearing Ning Xixi’s soft voice, Ji Yebai felt a pang in his heart, "Okay, I’ll take you ho."
Holding Ning Xixi’s small hand, he turned around and his deep eyes firmly stared at Third Master, "Thank you for today, Third Master."
Third Master ignored her and looked at Ning Xixi, "Did you eat well?"
Ning Xixi nodded blankly.
Third Master smiled, those eyes that had seen everything slightly curved, crow’s feet etched with the passage of years at the corners.
"Go ho, visit when you have ti."
After Ji Yebai left with Ning Xixi, Third Master’s gaze returned to the painting.
The woman who painted it was his lifelong obsession, the love he could never obtain, the one he spent his whole life chasing, even amidst high honors, yet his feelings remained unquieted.
"Good that you’ve eaten well... kids need to eat more, to grow up strong..." His sowhat hoarse voice echoed in the spacious and luxurious room.
