'She'?

Ye Ci knew who Lu Huaiyu was referring to even without asking.

It seemed like Lu Huaiyu only cared about her and no one else.

All of a sudden, Ye Ci's smile felt stiff.

"Are you talking about Sister Ning Li? Yeah, she's at home. I think she was still sleeping when I came out."

A slight pause later, she said, "I invited her to come with me but she turned me down. She might not be interested in paintings."

Ning Li came from Lincheng and had a poor background. Ye Ci simply assumed that she had no artistic sense at all.

Lu Huaiyu raised his brow.

Not interested?

He had seen her sketch before. Even though Ning Li had quickly kept it away and he had only caught a glimpse of it, he could tell Ning Li had good control of the strokes.

He believed Ning Li had rejected the invitation because she did not want to be with Ye Ci.

He nodded slightly. He softly grinned and said, "Sleeping? Great, she slept late yesterday."

Ye Ci was surprised.

What did Lu Huaiyu mean?

He seemed happy to find out that Ning Li was sleeping.

On top of that, how did he know that Ning Li had slept late yesterday?

Had they been talking to each other at night?

Jealousy rose from Ye Ci's heart. She gripped her purse tightly.

Lu Huaiyu could have asked Ning Li herself whether she was at home or not, but he had not. He had chosen to ask Ye Ci instead.

It felt like he had not wanted to ask Ning Li because he did not want to disturb her.

A jumble of thoughts filled Ye Ci's head and it irritated her.

All the topics that she thought of were stuck in her throat because of her messed-up mood.

Lu Huaiyu was happy with the answer. He turned around and went downstairs.

He went straight out of the exhibition center.

Ye Ci wanted to chase after him but she heard Lin Zhouyang calling her.

"Ye Ci."

The boy had been waiting on the first floor since Ye Ci had gone up. He had come to her right away when he saw her come down.

Lin Zhouyang stood in front of her and blocked her view.

She frowned and moved away but when she looked at the exit again, Lu Huaiyu was nowhere to be found.

"Ye Ci? Ye Ci?"

Lin Zhouyang called her a few more times since she had not replied the first time.

Ye Ci looked at Lin Zhouyang. Her great mood had been ruined and she felt terrible now.

Lin Zhouyang quickly noticed something was wrong, especially when he saw the look on her face.

He carefully asked, "Uh... what's wrong?"

She looked fine when she went upstairs. What had changed her mood?

Ye Ci swiftly adjusted her facial expression. "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. I'm going home now."

"Huh? You're feeling sick? How do you feel? Is it serious?" Lin Zhouyang got nervous.

"I'll send you back."
