Chapter 1748: Hope I'm Just Overthinking It

Ping Ge knew that the Li Family was a very dangerous variable.

He did not force the issue, only saying, "That depends on whether the West Hall Master has good luck and can survive this time. Oh right, I heard you are dating the daughter of the Li Family?"

"Yes."

This answer made a look of gratification appear on Ping Ge's face.

He added, "You, you've finally considered the major events of your own life; that is very good."

After saying this, Ping Ge even patted Xie Wanyi on the shoulder.

Xie Wanyi smiled.

Then he waited for Ping Ge to speak up and ask him to use this relationship to lobby the Li Family to let the West Hall Master go.

However...

Ping Ge did not mention this at all, instead bringing up other things.

Xie Wanyi responded calmly.

Afterward, he asked, "Will you be staying here for a while?"

"Not necessarily; I have to follow the West Hall Master."

"Then while you are away, who is taking care of Li Shu?"

"It's a young man we just found; he's very sharp and his character is trustworthy, so don't worry."

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi nodded slightly.

Ping Ge saw Xie Wanyi's concern for the old Hall Master and said, "If you miss the old Hall Master, then go visit him. It would be even better if you could bring your little girlfriend along."

Xie Wanyi responded with a smile, "If there is an opportunity, I will go."

Ping Ge said a few more words, then parted ways with Xie Wanyi.

And the moment Xie Wanyi turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.

Once he sat back in his car, a layer of coldness shrouded his entire person.

Xiaolin had just been standing not far behind Xie Wanyi.

He had seen the process of the two people chatting.

Now, he couldn't help but comment, "Why does it feel like the chat between you two was strangely polite?"

After saying this, Xiaolin noticed that Xie Wanyi did not respond.

Looking through the rearview mirror, he saw Xie Wanyi's grave expression.

"Uh, Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Wanyi took a deep breath, then muttered, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Overthinking it?

What exactly was he thinking about?

Xiaolin didn't understand.

And Xie Wanyi didn't want to say.

He just gently closed his eyes, resting.

Jiang Motian felt that today was very unlucky.

Starting from the morning, everything had gone wrong.

First, she spilled paint while painting.

After that, she bit her lip hard while eating.

Just as she left the house, her shoe broke.

By the time she reached the Art Studio, her phone accidentally fell into the pool...

This really was, too, un, luc, ky!

Seeing this, Wei Yangyang sighed, "It seems like you've run into some bad luck."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"How is it nonsense? Look at this streak of bad luck you have; it's not normal."

"Speaking of bad luck, is anyone more unlucky than you?"

When this was brought up, Wei Yangyang stopped talking.

Last time, Wei Yangyang was schemed against by a colleague, and when she returned to the company, she went to the colleague to demand an explanation.

As a result, the other party turned the tables, saying that Wei Yangyang had insisted on going.

Wei Yangyang didn't argue with the person; she turned around and went to the Human Resources department to check on this person's recent work performance.

You wouldn't know if you didn't check.

After being punished by the company for work negligence, this employee had been slacking off in every way, arriving late and leaving early.

They even used work hours to prepare materials for job-hopping.

The person in charge of the Human Resources department took the opportunity to fire the person.

And before this employee left, filled with resentment, they broke Wei Yangyang's computer.

This caused all the design drafts Wei Yangyang had saved on the computer to be ruined.

Afterward, she had to rush the work for several days.

Only now did she have the time to run over to bother Jiang Motian.

Seeing Wei Yangyang's gloomy expression, Jiang Motian reached out and hooked her arm around her neck.

Then she said, "Let's not hurt each other here; come on, accompany me to buy a new phone."

"I want to get a new phone too, to change my mood!"

The two of them, harboring a spirit of revenge-spending, walked into a mobile phone store.

Although it was an impulsive purchase, Wei Yangyang still compared the different models.

Jiang Motian was different; she picked the best-looking one and paid for it in a flash.

Then she raised the phone, took a beautiful photo of herself, and sent it to Xie Wanyi.

Seeing this, Wei Yangyang rolled her eyes.

Then she teased, "You have to report to your boyfriend even when buying a phone."

"This isn't reporting, it's sharing the little details of life."

"I think you just wish you could hang him on your body and parade him around everywhere."

"Hanging on him would be fine too."

Jiang Motian smiled brightly, looking exactly like a woman in love.

Wei Yangyang was very worried that she had become love-struck.

So she offered a reminder: "You are an up-and-coming female painter, you still need to have some career ambition!"

"I don't have career ambition? Since returning to the country, I've been entering competitions, organizing art exhibitions, and preparing a charity art book,"

"But those were all jobs arranged before you started dating; what about after?"

Jiang Motian tossed her hair and answered calmly: "I am a painter, not a printing press; I need inspiration."

Wei Yangyang knew that at times like this, the catch-all excuse of "inspiration" was inevitable.

It seemed that as long as she threw out those two words, Jiang Motian could do nothing without any burden.

But Wei Yangyang had guessed wrong.

The next second, Jiang Motian said excitedly: "I've had a lot of inspiration lately and have created several works in different styles! Also, I'm preparing for a small lecture!"

This unexpected answer made Wei Yangyang blink.

After reacting for a moment, she asked a beat later: "A lecture? What kind of lecture?"

"It's a series of lectures organized by the director of the Meishuguan to give young artists a chance to showcase their work."

"That sounds good, I'll definitely come to support you then!"

As Jiang Motian's good friend, Wei Yangyang certainly had to go to the scene to show support.

Who knew, Jiang Motian said: "You don't have to go; if there are too many people, I'll feel uncomfortable."

"Then... does Xie Wanyi have to go?"

Mentioning Xie Wanyi...

Jiang Motian immediately gave a positive answer: "Of course he has to go! With him there, I feel at ease!"

This answer made Wei Yangyang sigh.

Then she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, saying: "What a double-standard woman!"

"Wanyi... he is different."

Mentioning Xie Wanyi, Jiang Motian looked shy.

Wei Yangyang couldn't stand it and said: "Stop smiling, I can see you're happy."

"This smile is released involuntarily; I even feel like spinning around involuntarily right now!"

After saying that, Jiang Motian actually started spinning.

But she had only spun once when she bumped into a pillar nearby!

The "bang" sound made Wei Yangyang wince.

The next second, she couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

Jiang Motian was clutching her forehead.

Hearing this laughter, she immediately protested: "You're actually still laughing!"

"I'm not, I'm not, but I suggest you go home early, cover yourself with a quilt, and go to sleep to safely get through the rest of this day."

Jiang Motian also felt that today was very ominous.

So after buying the phone, she didn't even return to the Art Studio and went straight home.

And also...

Jiang Motian had sent the selfie to Xie Wanyi, so why hadn't she received a reply from him yet?

Was he very busy today?

Jiang Motian lay flat on the bed, holding her new phone, and frowned slightly.

Hmm...

Should she go to the company to find him?
