C69 The Girl in the Portrait

The girl in the portrait.

Ye Zixuan only held back her tears when she ran out of Huo Jingyan's bedroom. At the same time, the repressed feeling in her heart also relaxed. But what followed was doubt. Who exactly was the girl in that painting?

Why could Huo Jingyan be so angry just by looking at her?

Ye Zixuan was really curious and afraid of the angry Huo Jingyan in the bedroom. She just stood in the garden, but she was afraid that Huo Jingyan would get angry in the bedroom. Got caught by a maid chasing out.

"Miss Ye, how can you stand outside with a body? Furthermore, the sky is so cold, you should quickly go in."

Ye Zixuan looked at the maid who was concerned about her and brought up the matter of pregnancy. Her heart was very stifled and she did not want to go back so she said, "I want to be alone for a while."

The maid Su Lyu was worried and said, "Then I will accompany Miss Ye to relax."

But seeing that the temperature outside was indeed very low, the maid Su Lyu turned around and went back to get a coat for Ye Zixuan to wear and accompany her to enjoy the rainy scenery in the garden.

Ye Zixuan's mind was filled with the girl in the portrait. The more she thought about it, the more curious she became. Furthermore, Huo Jingyan told her to get lost for the first time, which meant that he cared about the girl in the portrait very much.

This made her even more curious.

"Miss Ye, what are you thinking about?" The maid Su Lyu looked at Ye Zixuan's absent-minded appearance and asked worriedly.

Ye Zixuan heard her voice and suddenly had an idea. She looked at the maid Su Lyu and asked, "How long have you been in Huo family? Do you know the portrait of your Second Young Master's bedroom?"

Just as her voice fell, the maid Su Lyu's face changed and she quickly said, "Miss Ye, don't ask anymore. This was the secret of Huo family and no one would tell her. You better not think about it. It would save you the trouble of making the second young master angry. That painting is his Achilles' heel! "

The maid's words made Ye Zixuan even more curious. Who was the girl in the painting? It could actually become a secret that the entire Huo family could not touch.

Thinking of Huo Jingyan's angry look, Ye Zixuan did not want to ask the maid again.

"Alright."

When the maid Su Lyu saw that Ye Zixuan did not ask anymore, she also let out a sigh of relief. She thought that she really put this matter down and realized that the air outside was getting colder and colder, so she said, "Miss Ye,i think you should not relax anymore. It is already so late, go back and rest early."

Ye Zixuan nodded her head and followed the maid Su Lyu back to the room.

When they returned to the hall, Ye Zixuan wanted to go back to her room to rest but was stopped by Lee Ailin in the living room.

"Ye Zixuan, first drink the lotus seed silver ear porridge that was placed at the dining table before going to rest."

Ye Zixuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Lee Ailin on the other side of the sofa. Lee Ailin suddenly treated her so well? This made her quite surprised.

Or perhaps she could tell what Ye Zixuan was thinking. Lee Ailin coldly snorted and said snappily, "Don't think that I like you. I am doing this for the child in your womb. If it wasn't for him,i wouldn't care if you were cold or not!"

Ye Zixuan's expression was ugly. Embarrassed. Alright, she knew Lee Ailin wasn't that kind.

But Ye Zixuan still obediently walked to the dining table and sat down. She took small sips of the lotus seed silver ear porridge but her mind could not help but think of that portrait.

Suddenly, she thought of Huo Jingyan's mother, Lee Ailin. She definitely knew about the matter here and the maids did not dare to tell her. This Lee Ailin would probably say it, right?

But if she asked, would Lee Ailin tell her?

She hated herself so much.

Ye Zixuan absent-mindedly finished the lotus seed silver ear porridge and the servants put away the bowls. She lifted her foot and hesitated for a long time before finally walking towards the living room's sofa.

Lee Ailin was watching television. Although she saw her coming over, she pretended not to see it. That kind of condescending attitude and indescribable pride.

But Ye Zixuan did not mind and awkwardly sat on the sofa beside Lee Ailin. After struggling for a long time, she did not know if she should ask but Lee Ailin glanced at her unhappily.

"It is so late and you are still not going to sleep. Do you really think that our family's grandson is as wild as you!"

The corner of Ye Zixuan's mouth twitched. The child in this womb was only around two months old and how would she know his character. But according to Huo Jingyan's overbearing personality, if it was like him, he would be a difficult master to serve!

When she thought of Huo Jingyan, Ye Zixuan boldly looked at Lee Ailin and hesitantly said, "Can I ask you something?"

"No,i don't want to talk to you." Lee Ailin's attitude was very arrogant and directly refused.

Ye Zixuan did not give up and directly asked, "Does auntie know about the painting in Huo Jingyan's room?"

Hearing this, Lee Ailin's expression changed a little and her eyes became sharp as if she was very vigilant. She stared at Ye Zixuan for a long time before slowly saying, "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to ask." Ye Zixuan did not dare to say that she had seen that painting and was worried that if Lee Ailin were to lose her temper like Huo Jingyan, she would be in trouble.

But when Lee Ailin saw her like this, the corner of her mouth curled up and she sneered.

"Have you seen that painting?"

Lee Ailin's tone was too certain and Ye Zixuan also knew that she could not lie to her and could only nod her head and timidly reply. "Yes."

At this time, Lee Ailin laughed out loud.

Ye Zixuan was stunned. With her previous appearance, how could she laugh now?

"I have nothing to say about this matter. I advise you not to be curious." Lee Ailin coldly said as if she did not want to care about it.

Ye Zixuan also saw that Lee Ailin would not tell her, let alone this group of servants. She could only withdraw her curiosity and get up to walk upstairs.

When she went up the stairs, Ye Zixuan thought of Huo Jingyan and had an indescribable fear.

Downstairs in the living room.

The nanny watched Ye Zixuan leave, then strode towards Ayrin.

"What happened upstairs just now?"

A dark light flashed across the nanny's face and she whispered to Lee Ailin, "Miss Ye was in the Second Young Master's room just now. Seemingly unable to resist her curiosity, she secretly took a look at the portrait. Then she was seen by Second Young Master and the two of them quarreled. After that, Miss Ye rushed out of the room and ran to the garden to relieve her boredom."

When she heard this, Lee Ailin sneered. No wonder Ye Zixuan would run over to ask her that kind of question. Indeed, she had seen that portrait.

"What a foolish woman!"

The nanny did not speak but she also felt that Ye Zixuan was somewhat insensible. Last time she had clearly warned her but she still could not help but open that portrait. No wonder Second Young Master was so angry.

Everyone knew that the portrait was a taboo in the entire Huo family. However, Ye Zixuan could not be touched anywhere. She could only touch wherever she wanted. The heavens were not afraid of the earth, and the earth was not afraid of it.

Lee Ailin's eyes became misty and the corners of her mouth still curled into a sarcastic smile. She muttered to herself, "If she wants to be stupid, then let her be stupid. Did she really think that she could take Jingyan's heart just because she was pregnant? No one can replace that woman's position in Jingyan's heart, let alone her."
