Chapter 1162 Who Dares to Laugh
Nie Jinxi was secretly jealous. The old housekeeper had already led her to a stop and said with a faint smile, "Miss Nie Jinxi, please wait a moment. Madam will be down soon!"
Nie Jinxi nodded quickly and sat down on the sofa. Only then did she notice Li Jinxing leaning on the sofa lazily watching TV. She was startled and quickly adjusted her posture. She smiled and greeted Li Jinxing, "Master Li Jiu, good evening. I didn't realize you were in the living room the whole time. I didn't notice you when I walked in just now..."
Li Jinxing responded in a faint tone as a reply.
The old housekeeper poured Nie Jinxi a glass of boiled water and quietly left. Nie Jinxi saw that Li Jinxing didn't want to pay attention to her, but this was a rare opportunity to talk to Li Jinxing, so she had to find another topic.
"Master Li Jiu, your home's decoration is truly unique..." Nie Jinxi said, smiling and praising. "There are ancient Egyptian elements everywhere. I even saw the Eye of Horus carved on the stair railings..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinxing put down the remote control, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, asking in surprise, "Why, you know all this?"
Nie Jinxi was secretly delighted to see Li Jinxing finally paying attention to her, and quickly said with a smile, "I know a little bit. Although I'm not as proficient in archaeology as my sister, I also like to study ancient Egyptian culture. I will attend all the lectures on ancient Egyptian archaeology at school!"
Li Jinxing just said "Oh" nonchalantly and didn't say anything else.
Nie Jinxi couldn't figure out what Li Jinxing was thinking, so she could only tentatively say, "But the only thing I feel about the living room's decoration is that the murals on the wall seem a little out of place..."
She pointed to one of the paintings hanging in the middle of the living room and said hesitantly, "Master Li Jiu, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but this painting doesn't look like the work of a great master..."
Li Jinxing frowned slightly, and Nie Yao smiled and said, "Of course it's not a masterpiece. I drew this painting myself!"
Nie Jinxi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Nie Yao, and saw Nie Yao walking down in the simplest set of pajamas.
Without waiting for Nie Jinxi to answer, Nie Yao walked over to sit next to Li Jinxing, tapped Li Jinxing's arm, and complained in a low voice, "I told you I'm not a famous artist, but you insisted on framing my paintings and hanging them on the wall. Isn't that a joke?"
Li Jinxing smiled indifferently, held her hand and said seriously: "I think it's okay as long as you paint well. This is our home. Who would dare to laugh at us if we hang your paintings here?"
Nie Yao didn't say anything else. Nie Jinxi watched the interaction between the two and felt a surge of jealousy in her heart.
She didn't expect that Master Li Jiu doted on Nie Yao to such an extent that he even framed Nie Yao's paintings and hung them up, as if announcing their relationship to all the guests!
Even Li Jinxing's response to Nie Yao seemed to be directed at her, warning her not to speak nonsense...
Just as Nie Jinxi's heart was silently sour, Nie Yao had already let go of Li Jinxing's hand, picked up a grape in front of her and put it into her mouth, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Nie Jinxi: "You're here, did you bring anything?"
Nie Jinxi finally came to her senses, quickly took out her small bag, and slowly opened a jewelry box. Inside was a whole set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry.
In addition to this set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry, Nie Jinxi also took out other brooches and placed them all on the coffee table for Nie Yao to check.
"All the jewelry taken from you is here, please count it!"
