Zi Yi and Dou Zerui frowned at the same time.
Zi Yi asked, “Why are my cousin’s painting tools with you?”
Dou Zerui asked at the same time, “What did you do to my younger sister?”
Ian looked at the two of them questioning him as if they were interrogators. He then briefly described what had happened. Of course, he had artistically amended how he had taken a fall back then. “My foot slipped and
I accidentally kicked Miss Dou’s thermal generator and it broke. I think she should be very angry because of this”
Dou Zerui heard his explanation and thought to himself that his sister was not someone who would get angry at such things. Just as he was about to speak, Zi Yi hastily asked, “What did my cousin have in her hand when she came in?”
Ian thought about it and said. “She only took her coat… she didn’t even wear it.”
Zi Yi furrowed her brows and guessed that she must have given Zhang Hanyu a call. At the same time, she must have overheard a conversation on the phone.
She thought for a moment and spoke to the air. “Shadow II, where is my cousin?”
Shadow II’s voice sounded from the air. “Master, your cousin is at the seven rainbow pool.”
The most famous hot spring in the villa was the seven rainbow pool. The water there was split into seven different colors due to the stones underneath.
As the entire hot springs villa had been reserved by Lu Jingye, there was no one around despite the fact that there would usually be a large crowd there.
Dou Xiangling fell in love with that place at the very first glance and it was normal for her to be there.
Zi Yi thought for a moment and said to them, “I’ll go look for my cousin, don’t follow me.”
She turned around and headed towards the seven rainbow pool. “Yiyi..” Dou Zerui was worried and wanted to tag along but Lu Jingye stopped him. “Your sister should have encountered something bothering her. Yiyi knows how to comfort her.”
Ian agreed. “Perhaps it’s probably something that can only be discussed between the ladies.”
Dou Zerui thought that what they said made sense and he did not follow Zi Yi.
By the time Zi Yi located where Dou Xiangling was, she was currently standing under a maple tree with her lips pursed as she looked ahead. Looking at her carefully, Zi Yi could notice that her gaze was not focused on anything at that moment and her eyes were empty.
Dou Xiangling was a protected young lady from a reputable family and she gave off a gentle and elegant aura. Merely just by standing there, she would arouse one’s protective instinct. “Cousin.”
Zi Yi called out to her and Dou Xiangling stiffened for a moment before she turned around.
Zi Yi came to where she was standing and asked knowingly, “Did something happen?”
Dou Xiangling suddenly lowered her eyes. She did not know how to explain what had happened.
Zi Yi guessed that she must find it hard to talk about it and so she asked, “After we left, did Zhang Hanyu return your call?” “He didn’t.”
After Dou Xiangling denied it, she suddenly thought of what Zi Yi said to her the very first day they arrived here. Something flashed through her mind and she asked, “Yiyi, did you already know something?”
Zi Yi looked back at her and did not answer immediately.
Dou Xiangling continued to ask, “That day you asked if I could accept the relationship between two men. Did you already know something back then?”
Zi Yi looked at her and instead of answering, she asked, “How well do you understand Zhang Hanyu?”
Dou Xiangling thought for a moment and said, “We met a few years back in Country S when we were gathering inspiration. Because we were headed to the same place, we befriended each other and then accompanied one another on the trip. He took good care of me during that period of time and we separated after we were done. We would only occasionally contact each other to discuss painting.” “You didn’t feel any feelings for him and it is because you did not have feelings for him that you only spoke about painting, right?” “Yes, even though many of our creative ideas coincided, I did not have any romantic feelings for him.” “Has it ever come to your mind that it was strange that despite not falling for him for so many years, he suddenly came to M.Uni and became your colleague? Could it be that he had approached you for some unknown reason?”
Moments ago, Dou Xiangling was in fact, thinking of this matter.
Even if she had accepted Zhang Hanyu, it was mainly because she was moved by what he had done for her instead of any romantic feelings.
However, after hearing that kind of a phone call earlier, she did not know what to do. “Cousin. There’s a type of person who would deliberately find a person of the opposite s*x and be in a relationship with them to conceal their sexual orientation. This type of person will never change for the better and they will act one way to someone’s face and another behind someone’s back.”
Dou Xiangling’s body trembled at her words. “Hanyu he…”
She could not believe that the man who had spent so much time and effort in order to be with her actually had ulterior motives.
Asurge of unspeakable sadness gushed forth in her heart.
Zi Yi pulled her into her arms and gave her a hug.
Dou Xiangling leaned her head on Zi Yi’s shoulders and her tears flowed down uncontrollably. “I was ready to have a good relationship with him and get married when the time was right.”
Zi Yi could not bear to see her crying and said, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be him. Someone like him isn’t worthy of your feelings. You should forget about him.”
Dou Xiangling closed her eyes and did not speak.
Zi Yi then continued and said, “You deserve someone better.”
She always felt that Zhang Hanyu was unworthy of her cousin and her instincts had always been accurate.
Dou Xiangling still remained silent.
Zi Yi let go of her and wiped the tears on her face. She then held her hand and made eye contact with Dou Xiangling while using a slight amount of mental energy. “Cousin, think about it, we will be opening an art gallery soon. Think about your dreams and in fact, you don’t really have romantic feelings for Zhang Hanyu. It’s only because he had previously done so much for you and you were moved by his actions.”
Dou Xiangling felt a shock and her mind suddenly became clear.
What Zi Yi said was right. Her feelings for him were not so much romantic feelings, which was probably why she could not accept Zhang Hanyu’s overly intimate physical contact.
At the thought of this, Dou Xiangling was no longer that upset.
Zi Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She held her hand and they headed to the courtyard where she stayed. “It’s not worth getting upset over a man like that. Forget about him.”
Dou Xiangling looked at Zi Yi who was holding her hand. She was clearly older and yet, she felt that she was the one being protected right now.
She suddenly recalled how Zi Yi gave her the phone and she had more or less managed to guess something. “Yiyi, did you deliberately block our phones?”
Zi Yi stiffened for a second.
Dou Xiangling looked at her and said, “Did you already know of his true colors but did not know how to inform me of this? That’s why you had purposely chosen a time where he was with a man to pass me your phone so that I can discover his true colors?”
Zi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and hastily nodded. “He relied on the fact that you’re at the hot springs villa for a few days and coupled with how he could not endure it anymore… If you had called in earlier, he would not have exposed his true colors.”
Dou Xiangling responded with a nod and no longer said anything else.
When they were about to reach Dou Xiangling’s courtyard, they saw the door of the courtyard where Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stayed was wide open. Dou Zerui just so happened to stretch out his head to take a look.
When he saw them walking over, he quickly waved at them. “Xiangling, Yiyi, we’re here. Come over quickly.”
The two of them walked over.
Lu Jingye and Ian were currently in a conversation and at the sight of Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling, they stopped their conversation and came over.
When Ian saw Dou Xiangling, he felt that she was angry because he had broken the thermal generator and he quickly apologized again. “Miss Dou, I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t know that the thermal generator was so important to you.”.
