After the private room next door was empty, no unexpected incidents occurred afterwards, and Shao Jingque and the others finished their meal peacefully.
I don’t know if it was because he was in a good mood after crushing Qu Jingyun, or if the “Dream in the Garden” recommended by the hotel manager was really good for the stomach, but Shao Jingque’s appetite really increased a lot after drinking the soup, and the previous feeling of chest tightness and nausea was also swept away. He had a rare and full meal without any burden.
It was late after dinner, and today she had to travel and take an exam. Shao Jingque was too tired to go through any more trouble, so she discussed with Yue Feiying and decided to let Ding Ling stay at her house first. Shao Jingque would go back to the guesthouse tonight to pack her luggage and move out early tomorrow morning.
Yue Feiying saw that Shao Jingque was so sleepy that her eyes were dull, so she was not in a hurry to ask her to move out today. As soon as she got out of the gate of Xiefang Garden, she hailed a tricycle for her and asked her to go back to the guesthouse to rest.
After spending an afternoon with Yue Feiying, Ding Ling discovered that her master was only cold on the outside, but actually a very gentle person on the inside. No matter whether they were aunts or little girls who came to take pictures, they were all coaxed into having fun by her.
At one point, Ding Ling even thought that there was no need to take pictures. If she just let her master put on makeup for them and chat with them, the guests might be willing to pay the bill.
And she also developed a strong interest in the technique of makeup during her observation this afternoon.
She was surprised to find that with the help of her master's skillful hands, the girl who looked ordinary when she entered the room became radiant in an instant. Her eyebrows and eyes were still the same, and Ding Ling couldn't tell exactly what had changed, but her whole state and temperament were completely different. Even the smile on the girl's face became bright and confident.
In just over ten minutes, the whole person stood out from the crowd of people in the world as if he had been cast into magic by a god.
The more Ding Ling thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. Her master also looked like a god, as otherworldly as the fairies in the sky, and he was also the kind of god who could coax people.
After saying goodbye, Ding Ling and Yue Feiying also got on the tricycle to go home.
This was Ding Ling's first time riding a rickshaw pulled by someone. She was so nervous that she held on to the handrail tightly. She looked at the rickshaw driver in front of her, who was sweating profusely, with an apologetic look on her face, and whispered to Yue Feiying:
"Master, is the luggage I'm carrying too heavy? Should I run down too?"
She felt that the rickshaw driver was not running fast and she should be able to keep up.
Yue Feiying was almost amused by her. It was the first time she saw someone riding a tricycle and wanted to run after him. Her apprentice had a good heart, but was a little silly.
Just as she was about to speak, the rickshaw driver happened to hear what Ding Ling said and laughed and answered loudly:
"Please don't! Just sit down and relax, sir. We're doing this hard labor business. If you don't sit down, I won't make any money. It's better for you to sit down!"
Unexpectedly, the rickshaw driver heard her whisper. Ding Ling blushed instantly, feeling that her naive appearance must have embarrassed Yue Feiying.
Yue Feiying patted her hand to comfort her:
"I know you mean well, but the master is right. If everyone is as kind as you, feeling sorry for the tiring work and refusing to take the bus, how will the masters earn money to support their families?"
Ding Ling thought about what she said and realized that it was indeed the case.
Pulling a cart is hard work, but isn’t farming hard work too?
If everyone felt sorry for the hard work farmers put into farming and stopped buying food from them, how would farmers survive?
Ding Ling, who understood immediately, nodded obediently:
"Master, I understand."
The word "Master" was so sweet that a smile appeared on Yue Feiying's face. She felt more and more satisfied with her silly and sweet disciple.
Arriving at the gate of No. 1 Courtyard, Wuhuai Street, the tricycle driver stopped the car steadily, wiped the sweat from his face, and said with a simple smile:
"Guests, here we are!"
Yue Feiying took money out of her bag to pay for the bus fare. Ding Ling, carrying her large package, stood in front of the tall, ornate iron gate and was stunned.
In her entire life, she had never seen a door so high and so wide. It felt like ten people could walk side by side in it!
Ding Ling couldn't believe her eyes and murmured:
"Master...is this your home?"
Yue Feiying took out the key to open the door. With a "click", the iron door opened.
She struggled to push the heavy iron door while complaining:
"That's right! I said a long time ago that I'd open a small door on this iron gate, but that bastard insisted it would ruin the appearance. Opening the door every day is like lifting weights. It's exhausting!"
Qi Shengzhi usually drives when he goes out, so when he moved out of the Qi family and lived alone, he changed the courtyard gate into this kind of grand and spacious gate, which also fits his usual gorgeous aesthetic.
Yue Feiying didn't like the gate. The only thing she thought was that it was too heavy and it was difficult for her to go in and out every day. So she suggested opening a small door on one of the iron gates for her to go in and out.
Unexpectedly, Qi Shengzhi firmly disagreed, thinking that she was destroying the terms they had agreed upon of non-interference and non-influence on each other.
If Yue Feiying insisted on opening the small door, she would have to wait until their six-month contract expired. At that time, he would leave the small building and other properties to her, and she could make any changes she wanted.
Seeing that she was having difficulty pushing the door, Ding Ling quickly stepped forward to help push it open.
Unexpectedly, when she pushed the door open, what appeared before her was not the large bungalow with white walls and red tiles that she had imagined belonged to the wealthy families in the village, but a magnificent two-story building.
Although it was late at night, the bright yellow light shone through the large and bright glass windows of the building, allowing people to see at a glance how luxurious the decoration and displays inside the windows were... Everything left Ding Ling stunned.
Yue Feiying took two steps forward and saw Ding Ling still standing there in a daze, so she waved at her:
"Come on! Stop standing there!"
Ding Ling finally came to her senses, trotted over to catch up with Yue Feiying, and followed her obediently.
Qi Shengzhi, who was lying bored on the sofa in the living room, heard the noise outside the door. He immediately sat up, picked up the newspaper at hand and pretended to read it.
Yue Feiying led Ding Ling in. Seeing that he was home, she hesitated for a second before stopping and introducing him:
"Let me introduce you. This is our new makeup artist, Ding Ling. She's from out of town and will be staying with us for a while until she finds a suitable place to live."
"Ding Ling, this...bastard is Qi Shengzhi. He's my...husband."
Bringing people back to live with you without discussing it with him in advance?
Qi Shengzhi felt unhappy instantly, and his handsome brows furrowed.
He put down the newspaper and looked up at the little girl following Yue Feiying.
She is not tall, wears simple clothes, and has no makeup on. She looks like a country girl. How can she look like a makeup artist?
