Chapter 273: What did she draw?
"If people knew that Tangtang Bai always had such a childish side, I think many people would be shocked." Ye Ran said bluntly.
"There are only two of us here. If word spreads, it will also be your problem." Bai Qianmo raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't think you can bear the consequences."
Ye Ran asked back: "Mr. Bai won't spread the news intentionally so that I can take the blame, right?"
"No." Bai Qianmo said meaningfully: "After all, it is related to my image."
"That's good." Yeran nodded with satisfaction.
Bai Qianmo smiled and stopped talking.
On the surface, he was peaceful, but deep down he felt an inexplicable feeling of loss.
She really wanted to draw a clear line with him, why?
"Mr. Bai, take a seat." Ye Ran found a place under the shade of a tree and sat down to rest.
Bai Qianmo came over and looked at her condescendingly: "Aren't you going back?"
"I want to stay a little longer. Mr. Bai should go back first." Ye Ran said.
Hearing this, Bai Qianmo also sat down.
Yeran was surprised: "You won't leave?"
"I'm not in a hurry, it's quieter here." Bai Qianmo said, "It's better to be quiet here when we go back."
Understanding what he meant, Yeran said, "Actually, you could have made it clear to Mr. Bai directly. Why not?"
"It's not you, it could be someone else. As long as I don't get married, grandpa won't give up." Bai Qianmo said weakly.
Yeran became alert: "Are you ready to compromise?"
Bai Qianmo looked at her: "What about you? I said before that I only wanted to work and nothing else. Does that still count?"
"Of course!" Ye Ran's voice became more determined, as if he was warning Bai Qianmo not to have inappropriate thoughts.
"That's right." Bai Qianmo said, "This makes grandpa happy and makes me feel at ease."
Yeran blinked and seemed to understand. He couldn't help but frown and said, "So if you let Mr. Bai misunderstand us, you will still disappoint him in the end."
"It doesn't matter. After a while, I can tell grandpa that you have a sweetheart, and I can't take away his love." Bai Qianmo said matter-of-factly.
Yeran said dissatisfiedly: "When did I have a sweetheart?"
"Grandpa will not pursue it." Bai Qianmo said calmly.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, Ye Ran gave Bai Qianmo a white look and said, "You are very calculating, don't you even have to worry about my image?"
"Two people are chasing you, and I lost. Do you think it will affect your image?" Bai Qianmo asked.
Yeran frowned: "You should also take care of my family. When they ask, where can I find a better person than you?"
Does he still have the nerve to say that there are people in the imperial capital who are better than him in all aspects?
Bai Qianmo said nothing and looked at her with deep eyes.
Ye Ran reacted belatedly, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.
What she just said was simply stating the facts and had no other meaning. But thinking about it now, it is indeed easy for people to misunderstand.
"I...well, I'm tired and want to take a rest." Ye Ran said, closing his eyes and leaning against the tree trunk to pretend to sleep.
It's so embarrassing. Why did her brain suddenly shut down and say something like that? !
The corners of Bai Qianmo's lips curled up a little unconsciously. He didn't embarrass her anymore and just sat quietly beside her.
Yeran was so embarrassed that she leaned against the tree trunk and didn't dare to breathe.
The two of them were quiet and speechless, surrounded by bright sunshine, gurgling water, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Unknowingly, Yeran actually fell asleep.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Bai Qianmo inexplicably felt a smile gradually appear in his eyes.
"I actually fell asleep like this." He chuckled and shook his head, and Bai Qianmo looked at the scenery in the distance.
As he looked at it, his eyes moved to the drawing board. Although there were only a few strokes of the painting she had just started, he seemed to be able to see a beautiful landscape painting.
Suddenly his shoulders sank, Bai Qianmo turned his head subconsciously and lowered his eyes.
Yeran was leaning on his shoulder, still sleeping.
His brows furrowed slightly, then slowly relaxed, and Bai Qianmo sat still.
Time passes slowly...
Ye Ran had enough sleep and slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at everything in front of him in confusion, he seemed to realize where she was.
"I actually fell asleep. It seems I shouldn't stay up late." Yeran sighed softly.
"Did you sleep very late last night?" Bai Qianmo's voice sounded in his ears.
Yeran was startled, turned around sharply, and looked at the handsome face that was close at hand, only to realize that she was leaning against Bai Qianmo, shouldn't it be... a big tree?
God!
So she just...had been sleeping against Bai Qianmo? !
His heart was instantly filled with panic, and Yeran stood up as if he was electrocuted.
But because he stood up too quickly, his vision went black and he felt dizzy, and he staggered two steps.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Qianmo also stood up and subconsciously supported her.
The dizziness disappeared, and after Yeran stood firm, he awkwardly thanked her: "Thank you, I'm fine. I probably just stood too fast."
"It's okay." Bai Qianmo retracted his hand and said calmly.
"I, I'm going to paint." Yeran ran away awkwardly.
Seeing her return to the easel, pick up the pen and start painting, Bai Qianmo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Mr. Bai can actually go back first, I have to stay for a while." Ye Ran said in a low voice.
She was really embarrassed and thought it might be better if Bai Qianmo left.
Bai Qianmo said: "Don't worry, the scenery here is really good, you can take a look again."
Grinding his teeth secretly, Yeran cursed in his heart: "At this time, I still have the leisure to enjoy the scenery."
My heart was in turmoil, and Yeran kept painting in her hands...
A painting was about to come to an end when Bai Qianmo's voice sounded in his ears: "The painting is good."
"Mr. Bai, you're welcome. I just drew whatever I wanted... God!" What was she drawing? !
On the screen, I saw beautiful mountains and rivers, green grass, blooming flowers, and two people cuddling together...
After taking off the painting, Ye Ran raised his hand and was about to rub it up and destroy it.
But he was stopped by Bai Qianmo: "Wait a minute."
"Mr. Bai?" Ye Ran was a little confused. Is he in trouble?
"The painting is very good, don't throw it away." Bai Qianmo said.
Yeran could only bite the bullet and said: "I don't like it."
"I like it." Bai Qianmo said, took the painting over and said, "Since you don't like it, give it to me."
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and Yeran smiled and said: "I can paint another landscape, forget it."
It was already embarrassing to fall asleep next to him, but now she actually drew a picture like this. What on earth was she doing? !
"It doesn't matter, I only like this one." Bai Qianmo had already put the painting away.
"Hey..." Ye Ran wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Bai Qianmo hid his hand, quickly rolled up the painting and held it in his hand.
Ye Ran was helpless: "As Mr. Bai, I should preserve some valuable paintings, right?"
"Whether it's valuable or not is up to me to decide." Bai Qianmo said.
