Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Obedient

After Shen Jingrou knocked, there was no movement from the other side of the door.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jingrou knocked a few more times.

"Knock knock knock..."

The sudden noise seemed to strike An Yin’s heart, and she faintly felt her whole body tense up.

Perhaps it was the first time visiting a stranger’s home, which made her so anxious! An Yin murmured to herself.

"Could it be that no one is home?" Shen Jingrou withdrew her hand, looking at the tightly closed door with a face full of confusion.

Just as she was about to turn and leave in disappointment, the door slowly opened.

Seeing the door open, Shen Jingrou came to An Yin’s side and took her hand, "I thought we’d made a trip for nothing."

An Yin became increasingly curious about who the owner of this door was.

The one who opened the door was an aunt. Seeing the visitors, she nodded respectfully, "Miss Shen!"

Shen Jingrou returned the greeting with a polite smile and directly asked, "Is Uncle Meng at home?"

"Sir has gone to H City," the aunt replied honestly.

H City? Why did Uncle Meng go there? Shen Jingrou thought and then looked at the aunt, "It seems we came at a bad time."

"Sir instructed that Miss Shen could treat this place as her own home," the aunt repeated Mr. Meng’s words, then continued, "Please come in and talk!"

Shen Jingrou was about to politely decline, but when she turned her head, she found An Yin’s bright eyes peering through the door crevice towards the courtyard inside. The little girl’s gaze was so focused, clearly filled with curiosity about the inside, that Shen Jingrou didn’t want to spoil the mood. After some thought, she smiled, "Then let’s go in and have a seat."

"Please come in!" After saying this, the aunt’s gaze fell on the little girl beside Shen Jingrou.

Shen Jingrou pulled An Yin towards the courtyard and introduced, "This is my friend, An Yin!"

Hearing her own name from Shen Jingrou’s mouth, An Yin snapped out of her daze and hastily greeted the other, "Hello, auntie!"

Seeing the little girl’s striking appearance, the aunt couldn’t help but take a few more looks and exclaimed, "What a beautiful little girl!"

An Yin shyly lowered her head, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, Shen Jingrou said with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "She’s timid and can’t handle compliments."

An Yin’s entire face instantly turned red, like somebody had applied vivid blush, making her look even more pure and endearing.

The aunt, being perceptive, led them to the foyer to sit down, then turned to go to the tea room.

From the moment they stepped into this courtyard, after many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the current position. During this time, An Yin stayed properly by Shen Jingrou’s side, not daring to look around, not even having time to finish taking in the scenery within the yard.

Inside, seeing that An Yin was silent and had a trace of anxiety in her expression, Shen Jingrou couldn’t help but find it amusing and said, "Don’t be nervous. Even though it’s your first time here and you haven’t met Uncle, he’s very hospitable and quite likes children! You’re so well-behaved. I guess if Uncle saw you, he’d definitely like you."

Shen Jingrou spoke convincingly!

"Uh!" An Yin nodded hurriedly.

For some reason, Shen Jingrou’s earlier words "Uncle will definitely like you" filled An Yin with joy! She had never met this "Uncle Meng," so how could she feel such warmth from Shen Jingrou’s few words?

An Yin didn’t expect her heart to feel this way.

At this moment, Shen Jingrou stood up and went out to the courtyard at the hall entrance.

Seeing this, An Yin quickly followed, starting to seriously observe her surroundings.

On one side of the courtyard, a towering rockery, trembling water flow, and a pavilion with stone stools, stone tables...

As if driven by some unknown force, An Yin walked toward the pavilion, arriving by the pool of living water. A multitude of colorful koi swam in the clear water. As An Yin watched the densely packed koi, the smile in her eyes gradually widened.

"Every time Xiao Ai comes here, she also likes to stay here and watch the fish," Shen Jingrou commented softly as she silently came to An Yin’s side.

Hearing this, An Yin turned her head, a blush spreading across her fair face, making her look charmingly innocent.

"How’s Xiao Ai been recently?"

Upon hearing the mention of the adorable little one, An Yin thought of the scene when she first saw Xiao Ai and couldn’t help but feel a bit worried about her situation.

"She’s doing well." Shen Jingrou knew exactly what An Yin meant, but Xiao Ai’s condition couldn’t be cured entirely; it could only be managed with prevention and timely treatment during her episodes. There were no other options.

Shen Jingrou’s words put An Yin at ease.

Afterward, An Yin entered the pavilion and noticed something on the stone table. She leaned in to find a painting...

On the white rice paper, a beauty was outlined in ink?

An Yin couldn’t determine if this was a beauty picture because the painting wasn’t finished. The woman in the painting had a shapely figure and wore a knee-length traditional cheongsam. The only flaw was that the portrait did not include the head; it only depicted from the neck down.

However, just from the woman’s figure, An Yin determined that the person in the painting must be beautiful, just like... just like Miss An!

An Yin was momentarily stunned, finding herself associating the painting with Miss An.

Hmph, in her heart, Miss An was more beautiful than anyone! An Yin thought, feeling smug.

"Beautiful, isn’t it?" Shen Jingrou, after sitting by the fish pond for a while, also came to the pavilion. Upon seeing the unfinished painting on the stone table, she proudly said.

"Is the woman in the painting your Uncle Meng’s wife?" An Yin hesitantly asked, her eyes still reluctant to leave the painting.

An Yin’s question was natural. After all, the owner was a senior, staying at home painting beauties. It was likely that the person in the painting was significant to Shen Jingrou’s uncle. An Yin thought that he must have painted his own wife.

The woman in the painting seemed incredibly lifelike; the person who painted it must have poured his emotions into it. The only shortcoming was the woman’s face!

Hearing An Yin’s words, Shen Jingrou pursed her lips and finally replied after a moment, "No!"

Shen Jingrou had seen her uncle painting before and had asked him the same question, receiving the same negative answer.

Seeing An Yin’s surprised expression, Shen Jingrou explained, "This woman is Uncle’s ’white moonlight’!"

Lowering her head, Shen Jingrou carefully looked around, found that the aunt wasn’t nearby, and then cautiously spoke.

An Yin was stunned: Such melodrama?

"So has your Uncle Meng married?" Upon asking, An Yin realized how nosy she’d become. Oh well, she genuinely wanted to know the answer.

Seeing An Yin blinking her bright eyes and looking straight at her, Shen Jingrou felt a bit helpless at the little girl’s intense curiosity.

However, regarding some matters of the Meng Family, Shen Jingrou wasn’t in a position to reveal too much and could only mention the main point, "He has a son, what do you think?"

So he was married and even had a son, but what about this "Uncle Meng" painting the ’white moonlight’ openly at home? An immediate triangle love drama sprang to An Yin’s mind!
