Chapter 149, "The Newlyweds"
It doesn't matter if I can't do it, there are still people. As long as this person is here, Qingqing will never be able to leave Nancheng. In this way, the things I want to do will be one step closer to my goal.
The man opposite, gazing at the bright moon in the darkness, received Qi Yan's reply, and his calm, slightly aloof expression became even gentler in the bright moonlight.
Her voice was as melodious as a clear spring, and her tone was filled with excitement.
After getting ready, the two bought some gifts and went to Huang Renfeng's house.
Huang Renfeng's residence is quite unique. It is an old Western-style house with a long history. Although it is not large, it is full of a strong sense of life. The whole environment is simple and unpretentious, full of the warmth of home.
When they arrived and knocked on the door of the old house, the person who opened the door was Huang Renfeng's son, Huang Feijing.
"Crown Prince, Your Highness?"
An Cinian and the others had calm expressions, even serene ones. In contrast, Huang Feijing was clearly scaring himself; his mouth was agape in surprise.
"What, so surprised?"
Xie Yu'an looked at Huang Feijing without any surprise, but Huang Feijing was frightened by that cold look in his eyes and wondered what he had done to offend the Crown Prince and why he was being so fierce.
"What are you doing, Xiao Jing? Why are you taking so long to open the door?"
Huang Renfeng was puzzled when he saw that the person was not entering the living room for a long time. Hu Chunchun then took his arm, which was supporting him with his cane.
"Hello, master."
Upon seeing Huang Renfeng, An Cinian waved her little hand and called out joyfully.
Of all the people present, only An Cinian greeted Huang Renfeng in such a friendly manner.
"Please come in and have a seat."
Upon seeing his beloved student, Huang Renfeng's serious expression softened instantly, becoming warm and amiable. They hadn't seen each other for almost half a year; time flies by.
Xie Yu'an placed the gifts on the coffee table and sat down next to An Cinian.
"Master, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Mr. Xie Yu'an."
Her master definitely knew Xie Yu'an, but she still formally introduced him, since she hadn't told her master that Xie Yu'an was her lover back then.
Today, An Ci Nian is wearing a light green cheongsam and a white jade hairpin in her hair. She looks just like An Ci Nian from half a year ago, when she had just gotten married.
However, it's clear that her beloved apprentice is being well taken care of; compared to many years ago, An Cinian is even more radiant.
Loving someone is like growing a flower, and Xie Yu'an does it very well.
He remembered the first time he met his beloved student, the girl was still handing out posters, and those posters were made by An Cinian herself, each one unique.
He remembered that it seemed to be an advertisement for a boy named Luye, and he later asked about the relationship between the two.
At that time, An Cinian was wearing clothes that were as ordinary as could be. If it weren't for her very attractive face, no one around her would have noticed her existence, let alone paid any attention to her.
As he walked down the street, he noticed a poster of An Cinian being thrown into a trash can by a woman. In that instant, he felt like he had found a treasure.
Regardless of whether the content of this poster is attractive, the brushstrokes and colors alone are refreshing. Finally, the perfect combination of content and color makes one want to learn more.
Is it possible that the combination of dark blue and gold can be so perfect?
“Ayu, this is my master, Huang Renfeng, whom you have met before.”
"I came here with my wife today, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused, Mr. Huang."
what!
Huang Feijing was quite startled by Xie Yu'an's words and immediately jumped up from the sofa: "Your Highness, Miss An, I'll go make you some tea."
He felt completely out of sorts sitting there.
“This kid is so old, yet he acts so recklessly. Just ignore him.”
Huang Renfeng was truly exasperated. He was still here; even if Xie Yu'an was the crown prince, he couldn't just dismember his son in front of everyone for no reason. It was so exaggerated and embarrassing.
Xie Yu'an remained silent. No matter where he was, people reacted this way whenever they heard his name. What had he done? Not only was Niannian puzzled, but even he himself was somewhat confused.
Looking at the two of them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, what a lovely couple! They were the most well-matched couple he had ever seen.
"My good disciple, you've given your master a huge surprise! I never expected that the person you'd marry would be..." Suddenly, he didn't know how to address Xie Yu'an anymore.
“Master, you can just call him Xiao Yu. That’s what everyone calls him. I wanted to tell you last time, but I was a little embarrassed at the time. Now that we’re in Nancheng, I thought I’d bring him to see you.”
He smiled brightly and explained to his master.
At that time, she wasn't sure if she and Xie Yu'an could stay together like this forever, but now she thinks that even if she doesn't live much longer, she should stay by Xie Yu'an's side.
For Xie Yu'an's sake, and for her own atonement, she came to a realization: even if she were to leave one day, with her lover by her side, death would not be so frightening.
Huang Renfeng nodded, not only because the two looked good together.
The moment he entered, he saw that An Cinian's hands were empty, because the gifts were all in Xie Yu'an's hands. He stayed by An Cinian's side, put down the gifts, and sat down properly with his wife. He was very serious and polite, unlike the cold and ruthless person that was portrayed outside.
He likes polite children, and he likes people who are liked by An Cinian even more; it's a case of loving someone because of them.
Afterwards, Huang Renfeng took An Cinian to the art studio.
Huang Renfeng usually lives here at home. The sunlight shines through the glass, making the whole room a paradise for oil paintings.
However, Huang Renfeng's specialty is rock painting. Their studios are considered the largest in Nancheng. Each of the four of them has a studio, as well as a room to display rocks and their paintings.
An Cinian was the most talented of the three apprentices to receive his true teachings and was the most skilled at painting mineral pigments.
According to market statistics, a painting by An Cinian can fetch 2000 per square foot, and this is not the price of mineral pigments, but only the unit price per square foot.
Some people in the north of the city might not have heard of Teacher Yan Yu's name, but in the south of the city, even if they don't know him personally, they've definitely heard of him; he's become a household name.
"My disciple, this painting, 'The Wedding,' is my wedding gift to you. Do you like it?"
When he learned that his beloved student was getting married, he thought of this painting. He planned to give it to An Cinian and his wife after they brought the couple over, to wish them a happy marriage.
Looking at the painting covered by a white cloth, I walked forward and stretched out my right hand, sliding it down the edge of the frame.
The painting "Newlyweds" that catches the eye has a fresh and refined style with no excessive decoration. It depicts a woman in a red cheongsam standing at the boundary between darkness and light, holding a red camellia. Her side profile suggests that she is about to step from the darkness into the light, where a tall evergreen tree stands.
"I hope that my disciple will always have someone protecting you, whether in darkness or light." The voice was full of expectation and blessing.
