Chapter 325 - 325: Only Kiss for a Little While(i)
In the morning, Lu Zhi had already eaten.
Seeing that Jiang Yining wasn’t up yet, he couldn’t help but walk to her room and knock on the door.
“Lazy cat, get up and eat.”
After waiting for a few seconds, there was no sound from inside.
Lu Zhi opened the door.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Jiang Yining sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes and looked extremely tired.
“How late did you stay up until last night?”
“I just laid down for five minutes.”
Jiang Yining, exhausted and barely able to open her eyes, spoke with a nasal tone.
She had always painted in the style of traditional Chinese painting.
She rarely delved into the realm of girl’s manga. However, to adapt to Yan Ruo’s style, she wasted a lot of drafts yesterday and stayed up until eight o’clock.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi said in a deep voice, “What were you doing? Staying up like this will ruin your health sooner or later.”
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the drawing board on the table. He walked forward to take a look and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Did you draw this? Why are you suddenly interested in girl’s comics?”
Jiang Yining fell onto the bed with a thud and groaned, “Did I ever tell you that Qi Bai has a disciple?”
“Yes, you mentioned it.”
Lu Zhi replied.
Jiang Yining snorted and said, “This disciple is an orphan. Qi Bai adopted him and raised him personally. He painstakingly taught him how to draw, hoping that he could inherit what he had learned in his life. But… Qi Bai had never thought that he would raise an ingrate. After educating his disciple well for more than ten years, he set fire to his studio… And also burned Qi Bai’s wife to death.”
“In Qi Bai’s life, the first thing he loved was his wife. The second thing he loved was his artworks.”
“In the end, both were destroyed by his disciple.”
Jiang Yining lowered her voice gradually, “He was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and fell ill. My master took me to treat him and said that it was anger-induced heart disease.”
“Since ancient times, heart diseases have been the hardest to cure. Qi Bai was bedridden for half a year and eventually passed away.”
Before he died, he left all the paintings he had drawn for her.
He repeatedly urged her to find Yan Han, figure out what he did wrong, and let him repay in such a way.
Jiang Yining, grateful for Qi Bai’s favor, naturally would help him fulfill his wish.
“What does your manga have to do with this?” Lu Zhi didn’t understand.
But no matter how long he asked, he couldn’t get her response.
Lu Zhi walked up to her and pulled the blanket away from her face. He then realized that she had fallen asleep.
Look at how tired she was.
He didn’t have the heart to disturb her anymore.
Then, he left the room.
Lu Zhi walked into the living room and ordered the housekeeper to prepare the meal. When Jiang Yining woke up, he intended to watch her eat.
The housekeeper nodded and took the order.
Jiang Yining slept until after five in the afternoon.
Her hungry stomach grumbled. Only then did she get up.
She walked downstairs.
The housekeeper approached and said, “Young Mistress, you’re finally awake.
Master asked me to prepare a meal for you. Hurry up and eat.”
“Okay.”
After staying up all night, she actually didn’t have much of an appetite.
However, Jiang Yining hadn’t eaten anything for a day and night, afraid of low blood sugar.
She forced herself to eat it.
As soon as she finished eating, the roar of a car came from the courtyard.
Jiang Yining wiped her mouth and ran to the door.
When she saw Lu Zhi, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.
When Lu Zhi saw her, he quickened his pace.
Not long after, he walked up to her and hugged her. “Have you eaten?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Yining nodded.
Lu Zhi carried her to the sofa in the living room.
After he sat down, he reiterated, “From now on, no matter how urgent the matter is, you are not allowed to stay up late or starve. Otherwise, I’ll punish you properly, do you hear me?”
Jiang Yining pouted. “Why are you so strict with me like an old father?”
“I’m doing this for your own good.”
Lu Zhi had never cared so much, but only toward her.
Jiang Yining understood his intentions and said, “Yes, 1 remember.”
Lu Zhi smiled and asked, “By the way, you told me this morning about Qi Bai and your drawing of a girl manga. What exactly is the connection between these two matters? You didn’t explain it clearly to me earlier. Now that we have the time, let’s continue.”
Jiang Yining paused and asked, “Did 1 mention this to you?”
She had no recollection of mentioning them at all.
“Yes.”
Lu Zhi briefly mentioned.
Jiang Yining had no intention of hiding it from him and honestly explained the whole story. “Now, I’m planning to destroy Yan Ruo’s National Comic Exhibition and the film company’s investment in her. I’m going to force Yan Han to show up..”
