Chapter 130 Sitting on His Lap
Ye Jingxi silently curled her lips into a mocking smile, then turned and left.
The corridor floor was covered with a soft carpet, which absorbed all the footsteps.
When Ye Jingxi reached the door, she realized that there was a little tail following her.
He glanced to the side and saw Beta looking at him cautiously.
Realizing she had been discovered, Beta whispered, "Thank you so much."
Ye Jingxi said calmly, "It was nothing."
He took out his room key, opened the door, and was about to step inside when Beta's voice sounded again behind him.
"Sir, may I paint a picture for you as a token of my gratitude?"
Normally, Ye Jingxi would have refused decisively, but that night, perhaps because he had attended the forum all day and was physically and mentally exhausted, or perhaps because Beta's gaze inexplicably touched a chord deep within him.
In short, he is now incredibly grateful to himself for not rejecting Wen Wei that night.
He received an invaluable painting, and...
The most important person in his world.

Wen Shumu walked ahead, showing Wen Wei and Ye Jingxi around the mansion and helping them find a suitable spot to paint.
Ling Suyu followed behind, his eyes fixed ahead, his gaze fixed only on the smiling Omega.
Allison observed from the side and felt that the lady really needed some friends of similar age.
The lady was noticeably more lively in Wen Wei's presence.
After looking around, Wen Wei finally decided to set up the painting location in the reception room, where the light was ample, the temperature was comfortable, the decoration was luxurious, and the space was spacious.
Ling Suyu went to change into his marshal's uniform, and Wen Shumu asked Wen Wei to help him choose some clothes.
Wen Wei didn't hesitate much before choosing one of the gorgeous dark blue dresses, which coincided with Wen Shumu's idea.
Since reuniting with Ling Suyu, he has developed a particular fondness for the deep and mysterious dark blue.
Because that's my brother's signature color.
Both the ice rifts and Melville exhibit this deep-sea hue.
After he changed his clothes, Wen Wei's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Dark blue suits you very well, making your skin look especially fair, but that's also because you're naturally fair-skinned."
Wen Shumu smiled sheepishly and walked towards the reception room with Wen Weiyi.
On the way, he asked, "Doesn't Dr. Ye need to return to the Federation?"
Wen Wei brushed a few stray hairs from her forehead: "He took his annual leave and insisted on coming to the Imperial Star with me, saying he was worried about my safety alone. Haha, I think he just wants to stick to me."
"You two have such a great relationship." Wen Shumu recalled how envious she was of their relationship when she first joined the show. "I saw that your fans were very surprised when you officially announced your relationship."
Wen Wei shrugged: "They probably think we're from different worlds. To be honest, I felt the same way when I first met him. We're from different countries, and our professions are completely unrelated. We didn't even know what to talk about."
Wen Shumu asked curiously, "So how did you two get together?"
Upon hearing this question, Wen Wei's lips suddenly curved into a sweet smile: "I fell in love with him at first sight."
He then briefly recounted how the two met.
"At that time, my father's investment failed and he was in dire need of money to pay off his debts. I had no choice but to take on jobs from nobles. It was common for me to be bullied by arrogant nobles, but only Jingxi stood up and taught the people who were scolding me a particularly cool lesson."
A glimmer of light appeared in Wen Wei's eyes: "At that time, as I watched his departing figure, my heart was pounding, and my feet moved involuntarily, following him to his hotel room. I had a sudden inspiration and came up with an excuse to say that I wanted to give him a painting as a token of my gratitude."
Wen Shumu listened quietly, and when he went down the stairs, he helped Wen Wei, who was lost in her memories.
"Thanks."
Wen Wei continued, "When I was drawing, I deliberately said that I couldn't finish it, asked Jing Xi for his address, and even said that I could deliver it to his door. Who knew that he was... from the Federation."
Wen Shumu frowned slightly: "Back then, visas seemed to be very difficult to obtain; it was hard for ordinary Imperial citizens to go to the Federation."
At the time, the Federation and the Empire were in a stalemate, and tourist visas were basically not issued. Apart from the upper-class celebrities and the wealthy, only experts and scholars like Ye Jingxi could travel more easily.
"Yes, so I not only got his address but also his contact information, and finally sent the painting to him." Wen Wei smiled brightly, "What followed was a long-lasting 'online romance'."
Wen Shumu laughed along, but in his heart he thought that Wen Wei made it sound easy; it must have been a very difficult time.
The pressure of paying off debts, setbacks at work, and the unknown future with her lover in another country... all these weighed on Wen Wei's shoulders.
Fortunately, he persevered and achieved such great results.
According to Allison, it's not easy to commission a painting from Wen Wei these days. He only accepts commissions he's interested in, and there's a long waiting list.
This was only because Wen Wei heard that the person in question was him and Ling Suyu, and immediately adjusted his schedule so that he could be invited over so quickly.
The two walked to the door of the reception room, which was half-closed.
Through the crack in the door, you could see two Alphas sitting on the sofa, keeping a certain distance between them, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Ling Suyu's voice could be faintly heard. Wen Shumu heard the words "Xiao Mu" and subconsciously pricked up his ears.
After listening carefully, Wen Shumu smiled slightly, and when he looked up, he saw Wen Wei raise an eyebrow at him.
"Marshal Ling really cherishes you; he even asks about your cough for ages," Wen Wei whispered in his ear.
Wen Shumu's cheeks flushed slightly as he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Ye Jingxi had just said, "Central nervous system diseases such as meningitis can also cause coughing..."
The more Ling Suyu listened, the darker his face became. It was Wen Shumu's knocking on the door that diverted his attention a little.
Wen Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped closer and complained, "Jing Xi, stop scaring the Marshal."
Ye Jingxi's eyes curved into a smile: "The Marshal asked me what illnesses caused my cough, and I was just telling the truth."
He turned to observe Wen Shumu, who had just walked in, and said to Ling Suyu, "Marshal, you can rest assured. Mr. Wen just has a common cold and will be fine in a couple of days."
Ling Suyu's complexion improved, and he stood up. His marshal's uniform accentuated his tall and handsome figure, making him appear even more aloof and dashing. Wen Shumu, standing to the side, couldn't help but stare at him intently.
Ling Suyu was also looking at his Omega, a dark undercurrent surging in his eyes as well.
Wen Wei's eyes darted back and forth between the two, and she inexplicably felt like she had been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
He cleared his throat with amusement: "Let's begin."
Wen Shumu finally snapped out of his daze, managing to tear his gaze away from Ling Suyu, and asked, "What should we do?"
Wen Wei had already figured out how to paint when he visited the site. He instructed, "You can all just sit on this sofa."
The two sat down side by side as instructed, only to see Wen Wei shake her head.
"That's not how you sit."
Wen Wei stroked her chin with her slender fingers, squinting at the young marshal and his wife: "Mu Mu, you have to sit... on the marshal's lap."
Wen Shumu: ? ? ?
