She knew he didn't distrust her; he simply didn't want her to suffer with him. But he was also her lover, and she longed to share both joy and sorrow with him, to face everything together, just like the vows they made at their wedding—to never be apart, for better or for worse.
Ms. Xiao knew that the other party loved her very much and that's why he wanted to do this, so she wasn't rejecting him. It's just that before he was sure he wanted to share the joys and sorrows with her, their relationship was going quite well. Whether or not to remarry was something to discuss later.
…
…
About three days after Wan Ge returned home, she received a very special painting.
Besides the beach and the sea, there were also many seashells on the flower, all of which she had collected.
Looking at the painting, which is over a meter long, with its lifelike sea and beach, and exquisite seashells, Wan Ge couldn't help but exclaim how beautiful it was.
Ms. Xiao also saw the painting and reached out her hand to touch the seashell: "I was wondering what Xiao Heng could make with so many times the amount? It turns out he wanted to make a painting."
This painting of seashell texture is truly beautiful.
Ms. Xiao looked at the painting in front of her and then at her daughter: "Brother Xiaoheng gave us such a beautiful painting, shouldn't we give him a gift in return?"
Wan Ge nodded and quickly went with her mother to pick out a gift.
Ms. Xiao chose a handmade model house as a gift. After buying it, she and her child assembled it together before having it delivered.
After that, in addition to exchanging gifts, they would also meet up frequently.
However, sometimes Ye Muheng is so engrossed in painting that he might not pay any attention to her for a whole day.
As he grew older, he gained the ability to travel independently and would occasionally go out for a day or two to find inspiration for his paintings.
In such situations, to put his parents' minds at ease, he would tell them when he arrived at his destination.
I will only start drawing after informing my parents, and then reply to them after I finish drawing.
At first, Madam Ye was still very worried and asked her husband to send someone to follow her.
As Ye Muheng gradually stopped putting himself in danger, they felt much more at ease. They still arranged for bodyguards to stay by his side, but they weren't watching him as closely.
…
Ye Muheng hasn't gone to school since high school, but his paintings have already become famous both inside and outside the art circle, and some people even want to pay a lot of money to paint for him.
However, they didn't need to sell the children's paintings; Ye Muheng's paintings were all kept safe and sound.
However, things that had already been drawn were no longer important to Ye Muheng, so he asked his parents to sell them.
Once Ye Muheng finishes a painting, he rarely goes to appreciate it; his parents always organize his art exhibitions.
Although Ye Muheng is very obsessed with painting, he also has some understanding of human relationships and daily life after painting.
His parents raised him with great difficulty, and he didn't want to become a useless person. Since his hobby could make money, then he would make money.
When Mr. and Mrs. Ye heard what their child said, they realized that their child might want to have their own income, so they also selected some paintings to sell.
His paintings are so good, and he's already quite famous, so his paintings command high prices.
Wan Ge looked at the paintings hanging all over her walls, but still asked someone to help her out.
I'm a little excited thinking that I'll be able to go back to China in another half month. It's been half a year since we last saw each other. I wonder if the other person misses me.
However, the other party in this world has always been indifferent to me, and may not even miss me.
Wan Ge first sent back all the paintings she had bought, and then turned around and continued to work.
…
Wan Ge sped up her work and went home three days early. She was originally supposed to stay for a year, but with her own advantages, things progressed too smoothly, so she was able to return to China in about six months.
Wan Ge originally wanted to give her parents a surprise, but when she got home, neither of them was there. It was the housekeeper who told her that her parents had gone on a trip.
Her dear father sent her abroad and then took her mother on a trip.
Wan Ge took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then asked Madam Ye where Ye Muheng was.
Mrs. Ye told her that Ye Muheng was painting on the other side of the beach.
But it wasn't the beach in their villa area. After someone sent her the approximate coordinates, Mrs. Ye sent them to Wan Ge.
After returning to her room and tidying herself up, Wan Ge changed her clothes and then headed to the beach.
When she arrived at the beach, she immediately spotted Ye Muheng, who was wearing a mask and painting.
Not far in front of Ye Muheng, a woman dressed in a custom-made mermaid costume was sitting on a reef, her tail naturally falling into the water.
The woman was very beautiful, with deep-set features, and with makeup, she really looked like a mermaid.
There were quite a few onlookers, but most of them focused on the mermaid rather than Ye Muheng because he was wearing a hat and a mask.
Ye Muheng found that his appearance often affected him after he went out to paint, so he started wearing a hat and mask whenever he went out to paint.
Aside from giving the impression of being a painter with a great temperament, not many people pay attention to him anymore.
Wan Ge looked at the other person and painted the woman in front of her with great lifelike detail, capturing the most beautiful part of the scene before her.
However, his hand seemed to be exerting force, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied.
Wan Ge knew that the other person would basically ignore her when they were drawing, so she also moved a stool over and sat quietly to the side.
After a while, Wan Ge looked at the woman not far away and sensed that she was about to give up. She also noticed that Ye Muheng's gaze was no longer on her, so she walked over.
"He no longer needs you to sit here. Come on."
Wan Ge extended her hand to her, but the girl did not immediately reach out; instead, she subconsciously looked at the person beside her.
The other person nodded, and then together with Wan Ge, they helped put the person into the wheelchair.
The bodyguard pushed the woman to a place where she could change clothes, and after she came out, he gave her the remaining payment for her modeling work.
Looking at the five-figure sum that had been deposited into her account, the girl suddenly felt that although she was a bit tired, the income was really high.
After thanking the bodyguard, he said, "Brother, if there's another situation like this, call me again."
The bodyguard simply nodded slightly, without showing much emotion.
The girl didn't seem to take it to heart; she packed her things and left.
…
Ye Muheng seemed to be working on the details until night fell, when almost everyone on the beach had left. Then they waited until the moon was high in the sky, and Wan Ge noticed that his trouser legs, which had been damp from the heat, were now dry.
She took the coat handed to her by the bodyguard, and then asked for another coat, which she put on Ye Muheng.
