Chapter 1639: Really Lacking a Sense of Contract

"So... shall we start now?"

"Mm."

Jiang Motian already had an idea and really wanted to try painting it right now.

After a moment of silence, Xie Wanyi found a chair himself and sat down.

Being a painting model was not an easy task; sitting in the middle for hours at a time without being able to move.

Even with Xie Wanyi's strong willpower, by the end, his backside was aching from sitting.

"Alright, let's take a break."

Amidst the silence, Jiang Motian suddenly spoke up.

And these words, falling into Xie Wanyi's ears, were no different from the sounds of heaven!

He hurriedly stood up and stretched his limbs.

Then he walked around to the front of Jiang Motian's canvas...

What is this?

After painting for several hours, she was just painting scenery!?

Xie Wanyi looked at the painting, which had absolutely nothing to do with his eyes, and fell into silence.

A moment later, he asked with forced patience: "Are you playing me for a fool?"

Jiang Motian was not that idle.

But she was also too lazy to explain, only saying: "You're getting paid anyway, so mind your own business about how I paint!"

To Xie Wanyi, these words sounded like an admission.

He couldn't help but frown and commented rather bluntly: "Young ladies from wealthy families are indeed very willful!"

Jiang Motian's fingers, which were in the middle of putting away her paintbrush, paused.

The next moment, she looked at Xie Wanyi with sharp eyes and questioned: "You don't even know me, so what right do you have to judge me!?"

"I'm just stating what I see."

"What situation? This is just prejudice on your part!"

"When you see a situation often enough, is it still considered prejudice?"

"Just because of your limited experiences, you've formed a stereotype, and you're using that impression to describe someone you aren't even familiar with—if that isn't prejudice, then what is!"

Her upbringing in a wealthy family gave Jiang Motian a composed temperament; even when she was occasionally sharp, she would never be out of line.

But at this moment...

Her words were incisive, her presence was imposing, and her gaze held great authority.

A version of her like this made people want to admit defeat involuntarily...

Xie Wanyi didn't yield, but he didn't cross swords with her again either.

Seeing that Xie Wanyi didn't speak, Jiang Motian concluded in a stiff tone: "I am not the kind of person you say I am!"

Jiang Motian...

Seemed to be a little different.

But what did that have to do with him?

Xie Wanyi forced himself to collect his thoughts, then said: "I'll go check next door; if anything is missing, I'll go buy it."

Jiang Motian had originally been in the heat of anger.

But Xie Wanyi's plain, indifferent sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

As the anger was extinguished, Jiang Motian realized...

Her reaction might have been a bit excessive.

But she didn't regret it; people have mouths to speak, and when faced with injustice and stereotypical prejudice, one must fight back.

And after fighting back, one should just go about their business.

There was no need to dwell on it.

Thinking this, Jiang Motian handed the key to Xie Wanyi with a candid expression.

Xie Wanyi looked at her silently for a moment and took the key.

Then he turned and left.

Jiang Motian stared at his back and suddenly urged: "You have to come tomorrow, no breaking your word!"

Xie Wanyi didn't look back, just waved his arm.

Was this... considered a response to Jiang Motian?

However, the next day...

He actually didn't come!!

What happened to the promised sense of contract!?

He was just a liar!!

Jiang Motian called Xie Wanyi.

But the number that had been reachable before had actually become a disconnected number!

Fortunately, she knew he lived next door, so after waiting in vain for a day, she stayed in the Art Studio, waiting for the rabbit to hit the tree!

When it was almost dark, Jiang Motian finally heard sounds coming from next door!

Jiang Motian didn't hesitate anymore and ran out at full speed.

And the moment she saw Xie Wanyi, she shouted aggressively: "We agreed you'd continue to be my model, why did you break your promise?!"

As soon as her voice fell, the air went silent for a moment.

Ling Yu was standing on the other side of Xie Wanyi.

The dim light partially obscured his figure.

Hearing this spirited shout at this moment, he couldn't help but turn his head, looking over with interest.

And this movement of his made Jiang Motian realize for the first time... that there was someone else there!

This person was very tall, with very fair skin, and when he looked at people, the corners of his eyes naturally carried a flirtatious charm.

At this moment, he was smiling yet not quite smiling, giving off a feeling of rippling, expressive eyes.

Although this man was very alluring, Jiang Motian took a few glances before withdrawing her gaze.

Right now, she still felt extremely embarrassed by what had just happened.

She had realized that whenever she encountered Xie Wanyi, she easily lost control.

It was truly bizarre!

Just as Jiang Motian was feeling vexed, Ling Yu smiled and prepared to speak.

But he was cut off by Xie Wanyi, who said first: "You go inside."

Go inside?

With such a good show to watch outside, who would want to go inside!

However, Xie Wanyi stared over with a warning look, and Ling Yu hesitated for a moment, ultimately not daring to stay any longer.

He only looked at Jiang Motian with an ambiguous expression and said: "Then you two, chat slowly."

Not only was Ling Yu's gaze ambiguous, but the tone of his voice was also very ambiguous.

In this instant, Jiang Motian suddenly wanted to have Jiang Mobai compare himself with this person to see who was truly better at stirring people's hearts...

As Ling Yu's figure disappeared, Jiang Motian also calmed down.

She lifted her chin at Xie Wanyi and questioned: "Why didn't you come?"

"Aren't you painting scenery? What difference does it make whether I am there or not?"

"If I were only painting scenery, would I have gone to such lengths to find a model? You promised me something but failed to do it; it's simply detestable!"

Jiang Motian gradually became agitated again.

If she hadn't been intentionally controlling herself, she might have been stomping her feet in anger by now.

Watching her puffed-up appearance, Xie Wanyi felt a bit like laughing.

But he held it back and said very seriously: "I'm sorry."

His speed in apologizing was too fast.

Jiang Motian clearly still had complaints left unsaid, and now she was in a position where it was awkward to speak and awkward not to.

It was just so frustrating!

However, when Jiang Motian thought of the man who had just gone inside, she immediately found a new outlet for her frustration:

"At the time, it was only said that I would provide you with a place to stay; it didn't say you could bring friends back!"

"But I didn't say that I would be living here alone."

Xie Wanyi's single sentence made Jiang Motian's accusation seem completely unreasonable.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Motian became even angrier: "You... how can you play word games!"

"Apologies, then I will be more explicit next time, so you don't misunderstand."

Xie Wanyi's attitude was sincere.

But at this moment, in this situation, his sincerity was... a provocation!

Faced with provocation, Jiang Motian had always fought back head-on.

However, before she could retaliate, Xie Wanyi asked a question first: "It's getting a bit late today; do we still need to continue painting?"

Jiang Motian really wanted to be willful for once, say something harsh, or just kick Xie Wanyi and his companion out!

But...

Reason did not let Jiang Motian do that; she only darkened her expression and said in a muffled voice: "Of course, I don't have much time left!"

The registration deadline was coming up very soon.

Jiang Motian truly didn't have much time left to prepare.

And her words made Xie Wanyi purse his lips.

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
