The old painter completed the painting in just one week. He looked at the girl with a bright smile in the painting with satisfaction. Hmm, she should look about 70% like the description.

After rolling up the painting, he hurried to the Li Mansion and waited for a while. The young master of the Li family came to the reception room with his young fiancée.

Looking at the two people holding hands, the old painter muttered in his heart that the couple's actions were really incomprehensible.

You say they have a good relationship. The young master of the Li family can openly draw portraits of him and other women. The key is that the girl is not angry, and she happily helps to describe it in detail. Tsk, who can understand it?

Taking the painting from the old painter, Li Xinglan opened the scroll and was stunned when he saw it.

Does his Su Su really look like this?

She has a delicate face, skin as white as cream, cherry lips and a beautiful nose, a shallow dimple at the lower right corner of her mouth, and a smile as sweet as honey, which is very contagious. The most beautiful thing about her is her pair of almond-shaped eyes that are bright and charming, filled with water.

Every gesture was lively and agile, just like what he imagined.

Li Xinglan suppressed his inner throbbing and turned his head to see Su Su also staring at the portrait with admiration. He thought to himself, it's ok, he should think it's very similar too.

The old painter looked at the reaction of the young couple and realized that it was safe. He really deserved to earn this money!

"Very similar, right?" Li Xinglan smiled faintly and looked into Su Su's eyes with an obsessive look, with an undisguised passion in his eyes.

"Very similar!" The old painter is indeed talented as he can draw a picture that is 70% or 80% similar based on the description.

She touched the portrait of Li Xinglan like a baby. In the painting, he tilted his face slightly, and just like in real life, he looked at her intently with his affectionate fox eyes, his love almost overflowing from the canvas.

Li Xinglan was in a good mood. In addition to the agreed salary, he also gave a few taels of silver.

The old painter received his payment and walked towards Wenxuanfang happily. He finally had money to buy new paints. He hoped that more big bosses like him who were generous would come and make a fortune. Hehe.

While walking on the road, the old painter suddenly slapped his head, and his eyes, which were originally a little cloudy, lit up instantly, scaring the passers-by.

No! He finally remembered! Who did the girl in the painting look like?

If he wasn't senile, he seemed to have painted this girl a few years ago!

No wonder! He painted so smoothly this time, without a single wasted draft!

After seeing the old painter off, Li Xinglan held the portrait in his hands, unable to let it go. He called over Chuan Zhu and Su Ling who were passing by, "Come, come, let me show you a treasure!"

That ecstatic expression and mysterious tone instantly piqued Chuanzhu's curiosity. Thinking that he had obtained a masterpiece from some famous artist, he stretched his head and leaned forward, "Young Master, what a great thing!"

As soon as he saw the portrait, hiss... Chuanzhu looked embarrassed, his eyes darting between Li Xinglan and Su Su, not knowing how to respond.

But Li Xinglan asked happily, "It looks good, right?"

"Uh..." Chuan Zhu glanced at Su Su fearfully again. To be honest, she was much prettier than Lady Su, but thinking about how good Lady Su was to them, he would never tell the truth!

"It's just average, very average!" Chuan Zhu smacked his lips, making a disgusted expression, "It's okay at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, Miss Su is still more beautiful. Our Miss Su suffers because she is the type that only lasts for a long time..."

Li Xinglan realized that they had misunderstood. Even Su Ling looked at him with disapproval, but he was not angry. Instead, he was happy that they were defending Su Su from the bottom of their hearts. "Okay, okay, you are all great. Everyone's salary will be increased this month."

Happiness came too suddenly, Chuanzhu and Su Ling felt baffled. Only Fuling and Rendong, who had been watching from a distance, looked at each other.

I always feel like they seem to understand something.

As the sun sets in the west, the scenery of the imperial city changes from lush greenery to yellow leaves, and then to the winter chill sweeping through the long streets, with plum blossoms revealing buds all over the city, as if in just a few blinks of an eye.

During this period, news of war continued to reach the imperial city from outside the Great Wall.

Most of the news was good news, such as the Mighty Army had won another victory, forcing the Jin army to retreat step by step and recovering many lost territories.

There was also bad news circulating in the city. For example, Nanzhao Kingdom and Daliang were plotting to join forces to compete for Qixia's resources and jointly resist the natural disasters that had occurred over the years. Even the surrounding small countries were eyeing them covetously.

Qixia is a vast country with abundant resources. It is said that if Qixia is destroyed, all things will come into being.

Su Su leaned against the window. It was a dark night without a single star. She looked a little lonely.

Fuling put a thin cloak on her and said distressedly, "My lady, it's late at night and the air is very cold. Shouldn't we wait for her tonight?"

Su Su came back to her senses, turned around, and looked at Fuling embarrassedly, "Okay, I'm going to rest now. You and Rendong should also rest early."

Looking down at the soft and flabby Miss Su, Fuling felt even more sorry for her.

Since the end of summer, the young master has been getting busier and busier, until now when winter has arrived and he has simply not been seen for several days in a row.

Every day, Miss Su stood by the window and waited. If she could see him once, she would be happy for several days.

Su Su turned and went into the inner room. She hadn't seen Dog Brother for six days.

Although Chuan Zhu or Su Ling would bring her some news and small gifts he bought every two days, she still missed him very much.

Even if she tried hard to find things to do and keep herself busy, late at night, her longing would still be like a tide that would completely drown her.

Fuling looked at her lonely little figure, sighed, turned around and was about to close the stained glass window, but saw a black figure walking quickly towards her in the distance.

She called out to Su Su joyfully, "Young Master! The Young Master is back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Su opened the door and rushed out like a gust of wind.

As soon as Li Xinglan stepped into the courtyard, Su Su pounced on him. Like a spoiled cat, she rubbed against his strong chest, "Brother Gou, you're finally back."

He hugged her back tightly, not disguising his deep longing for her. His big hands ran through her long hair, gently stroking the back of her neck. "I miss you too, my Su Su."

Afraid that the cold air on his body would irritate her, Li Xinglan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Be good, it's too cold outside, go back to the house first, I'll go to the bathroom and come back to accompany you."

He moved quickly and came back in two incense sticks of time. Because he was afraid that Su Su would wait for too long, he didn't wait for Fuling to boil water and took a cold shower directly.

After standing in front of the hot tub and warming up his cold body, Li Xinglan turned off the light and got into bed.

The thick and soft bed was filled with the sweet fragrance of a girl, and next to him was his beloved who he had been dreaming about. Li Xinglan stretched out his arms, hugged Su Su into his arms, and sighed with satisfaction. All the running around in these days became meaningful at this moment.

"Brother Gou, come over and sleep a little. I'm already warm here." Su Su moved inside and patted the place where she had just slept.

Unexpectedly, Li Xinglan hugged her directly to himself, clasping her slender waist with both hands, making them stick closely together.

He said, "Why don't you warm me up?"
