Chapter 787: Untitled

The sketchbook recorded Nuo Nuo from seven to nineteen years old. Ye Ningyuan predicted Xu Nuo's appearance from Xu Xing's. Both of them looked the same, but they had a different aura. One was delicate and beautiful, while the other was cold and elegant. They each had their advantages.

The other sketchbook recorded the time from when they met until Xu Nuo's death in the form of a comic. He recorded a complete story with every word that Xu Nuo said and what he was thinking at that time. He even recorded how he missed her for the past few years, and this was Ye Ningyuan's spiritual sustenance throughout his teenage years.

He went to the art room next door and drew another twenty-year-old Xu Nuo. His drawing skill was extremely good, and the lines were smooth. Xu Nuo's appearance kept changing in his mind as the memories changed. Therefore, he already had her appearance etched in his mind. A lady wearing a red dress appeared on the paper after a while, and Ye Ningyuan smiled. He did not understand why she liked red so much.

He thought that given Nuo Nuo's personality, she would like black and white.

"I help you draw a drawing every year, Nuo Nuo. Should I draw until you have white hair?" Ye Ningyuan smiled at the person in the drawing. He put all his feelings into his drawing, and the spirit of the person in the drawing looked so real.

He thought of the story in Strange Tales of Liaozhai, Lingering Miss Scholar. In the story, the beauty in the drawing would walk out of the drawing at midnight. How nice that would be if it happened in real life. Even if it was a ghost, he had no regrets if he could spend some time with her.

He thought of how he would draw Xu Nuo every year and thought about how nice she was. There were also many loving couples around him and Xu Xing constantly reminded him of Xu Nuo. All these reminded him that Xu Xing existed and was a part of his life. If not, he might really have forgotten about her.

But as time flew past, he still had a deep impression of it. The things that happened when he was seven years old were still clear in his mind as if it had only happened yesterday.

He got up and went back to his room after sitting for a long time in the art room. He was about to take off his clothes to shower when he touched something cold. He took it out and it was An Xunuo's jade necklace.

He paused for a while before casually putting it into the desk's drawer.

An Xunuo went home only to find Michael waiting for her in the living room, looking angry. He saw Xunuo and felt angry, but he loved her nonetheless. "Ophelia, where have you been? Your godmom kept asking where you were and why you didn't attend Xu Xing's birthday party."

"Daddy, I was busy. Sorry." An Xunuo walked over and hugged Michael's arms in an affectionate manner and smiled lightly. "Daddy, I can call godmom and tell her about it myself."

"You are really getting more out of hand." Michael loved his daughter and could not bear to scold her. An Xunuo smiled sweetly. "Daddy is the best."

She only took off her cold mask in front of Michael. He was her most beloved and respected father.

"Daddy, have you eaten supper? I can make it for you."

"Why are you in such a good mood today?"

"It's only right that I make supper for you. Why do I have to make it only when I'm in a good mood?"

"How many times have you made supper for me?"

"Daddy…"

"Alright, alright, it's good that you have this thought. I can just ask auntie to make it for me if I have anything I want to eat. You are so clumsy and the food you make tastes bad." Michael twisted the tip of her nose.

An Xunuo raised her chin in an arrogant manner. "Isn't it just cooking skills? What's so difficult about it? Tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you. I promise that you will enjoy it."

"No, please don't. The kitchen has already been renovated five times. Baby, please let it off."

"Daddy is so annoying!"

Harry was walking down and saw the father and daughter enjoying themselves. He greeted them and asked, "Ophelia, we called you several times. Why didn't you pick it up?"

"Uh, I went out with a friend to the outskirts, and I left my phone in the car, so I didn't hear it. Brother, why did you call me?"

"I'm worried about you since you are back so late."

"I'm fine." An Xunuo smiled and kissed Michael on his cheek. "Goodnight, Daddy."

"Goodnight, baby!"

She went upstairs and Harry followed after her. He went into the room and closed the door tightly. "Why are you back so late today? What happened?"

"It's just a small issue and I've settled it." An Xunuo's voice sounded cold again. It was as if the whole room had snowed. This was totally different from how she was in front of Michael.

"I should have gone with you if I had known earlier."

"Brother, I'm fine!" An Xunuo looked back and said, "I'm tired and I want to rest."

"Ophelia, I'm your brother. Why are you always so cold to me?"

"I'm always like this."

Harry felt bitter in his heart. She was always cute in front of their father and would even act cute.

"Is there a new mission?" Harry saw her envelope and walked over. His hand had just touched the envelope when Xunuo snatched it away and frowned. "Brother, don't break the rules."

"We're siblings. I won't leak…"

"Brother, I want to rest," Xunuo said word by word. Harry nodded and looked at her in a helpless manner before he walked out. An Xunuo locked the door and opened the envelope. Her face changed after looking at the information inside.

"How could it be?" She murmured and could not believe it.

She frowned and took out the brazier to burn the information. She then opened the window to let the wind blow away the weird smell. The wind suddenly became big and howled. Ye Ningyuan's photo was slowly burned in the fire.

An Xunuo became even colder while looking at the photo being burned. She clenched her fist and looked at the dark night sky. The wind was howling as if it was going to rain.

"Ye Ningyuan…"

She had just met him today, and she thought of their kiss at the bar. The man looked gentle and strong, someone that could hide things well. He was elegant and domineering. Or should she say that he was the perfect combination of an angel and a devil?

She did not know him well and had only read information about him. The feeling he gave her was like a carefree young man that did not care about anything. But why…

She thinned her lips and was puzzled.

But, the order had been given. It was not a question of why but whether or not she would do it. She did not have the power to reject the order.

An Xunuo narrowed her eyes and closed the window. Her hand gesture looked determined as if she had decided on something.
