Wan Qiqi didn't know how this twelve or thirteen-year-old girl had fallen into such a lowly status, but she could tell that the people of Mingyuefang treated her very well, which was why she looked so beautiful.
She smiled faintly and said, "He's a well-behaved child."
He had been following Mingyuefang all this time, observing Wan Qiqi. He knew she was a good person, so he wasn't afraid of her. Instead, he gave her a timid smile.
"Are you the one who painted the portrait?"
Xie Xing's icy voice came from the side, startling Chanyi, who hurriedly hid behind Jing Shisi Niang.
Xie Xing stepped down the last step of the stairs, walked to the table, and carefully examined the two portraits.
"He's quite skillful, but he's too young," he said slowly, leaving no room for his thoughts.

Wan Qiqi and Zhu Chengye exchanged a glance and said, "We will certainly cooperate with the government's actions."
She always felt that Xie Xing was up to no good.
The other party always seemed to be in complete control, as if everything was under his command, yet he always threw the problems at them, making her feel like she wasn't the suspect, but rather his strategist!
