Daohua was initially delighted by Xiao Yeyang painting her portrait, but after Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu’s comments, a look at the painting now evoked a twinge of discomfort.
“Manman, put the painting away and store it properly,” she instructed.
Wang Manman was taken aback. “Miss, didn’t you really like this painting? Why aren’t you displaying it anymore?”
Daohua fell silent for a moment. “Just put it away. Mother comes over from time to time, and if she sees it and asks who painted it, am I supposed to lie to her?”
After a moment’s thought, Wang Manman suggested, “What if we hang it in the study?”
Daohua shook her head. “Master Shen occasionally visits my study for a chat. It wouldn’t be good if she saw it there either. Just put it away. If I want to see it, I’ll take it out myself.”
Wang Manman nodded and, with some reluctance, put the painting away.
The Little Prince had painted the lady beautifully, and she too couldn’t help but feel joy looking at it. It’s a pity it couldn’t be hung up.
Meanwhile, in the side room.
Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu were still talking about the painting.
“Sister Su, do you think the Little Prince is being too nice to Yiyi?” Dong Yuanyao inquired.
Su Shiyu paused, then carefully said, “I’ve heard my brother mention that the Little Prince has always been kinder to Yiyi than to others.”
Dong Yuanyao: “I know that too. In the past, the Little Prince liked to tease Yiyi. I didn’t think much of it, as I like to play with Yiyi myself. But during the last few encounters, I feel like the Little Prince’s gaze towards Yiyi has changed; it just seems different somehow.”
