Ye Kai couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the detailed drawing that Rong Ying had made. His lips curved into a gentle smile and he carefully shook her shoulder to wake her.
He watched her eyes flutter open, and a kind smile spread across his face. "Breakfast is ready, my love," he said softly, "Why don't you go wash up, and join us downstairs?"
"And, those drawing are great, bring them to show mother," Ye Kai said, he kissed her cheek before he left the room.
Rong Ying slowly woke up and unconsciously she touched her cheeks and remembered the Ye Kai words, she looked at her drawing and a barely perceptible smile tugged at her lips.
As she swung her legs down from the bed with a groan, sunlight streamed in through the window, and illuminated dust particles danced in the air. She rubbed at her puffy eyes, shuffled to the bathroom, and splashed water on her face. She lingered for a moment, staring at herself in the mirror.
After she made her way back to the bedroom and picked up a crumpled drawing from her table. It was something she had sketched because Ye Ming kept persisting, With a deep breath, she tucked it under her arm and walked into the kitchen.
She opened the kitchen door and immediately was engulfed in the comforting aroma of pancakes and tea. A faint smile appeared on her face as she inhaled deeply, taking in the familiar smell. She made her way forward, to the dining table where she pulled out a chair and settled in.
"Good morning, fourth sister," Ye Nuan greeted her fourth sister, Rong Ying, with a warm smile as she served her breakfast, and then she took her seat.

Ye Nuan was the first to respond. Her lips curved upwards, and her eyes softened, taking the portrait frame in her hands, she brought it closer to inspect it further. "It's beautiful Rong Ying", Ye Nuan said
"Well, not as better as mine, but fourth mother your great artist," Ye Ming smiled and said, she then nodded herself, "I knew fourth mother is a great artist and can draw beautifully, this is why I kept persuade her to draw, and teach her, as master of her, I feel pride swell up in my heart."
Then Ye Ming wiped her non-existent tears.
Ye Kai and Ye Nuan just sighed, and after that, they eat their breakfast, as usual breakfast was tasty.

Yang Guifei slid her silken dress over her body, tugging the fabric until it fit perfectly. She stepped out of the inn and into the sun, squinting as she surveyed the busy street. Everywhere people crowded, their conversations and laughter filling the air. Yang Guifei's lips pressed into a thin line as she scowled at the teeming masses.
'Once the competition end, I should go back to my hometown for the week' Yang Guifei thought, sighing about her situation and walking to the stadium.
Today would be the last match as a team. Then only left was an individual battle. There would be three individuals, and one team that would win had a chance to participate in the Capital City Marital Competition.
The winner of the Capital City Martial Competition would become a noble and if a person was already noble then he would become the highest noble, and if it was the highest noble that win then the person could get a chance to ask any wish, as long wish was not something that brings harm, the wish would be granted.
Yang Guifei didn't want to become noble or had any wish, if it was possible then she wouldn't like to participate in this Martial Competition, but only because of Liu Yin, she had to participate in this Martial Competition.
If weren't for Liu Yin to go to the Dark Sirius Kingdom for a fun journey, then Yang Guifei might be assassinating some nobles.
"Fuck that bitch, once she came I gonna make the ugly face even more ugly," Yang Guifei became angry just thinking about her.
As she approached the stadium, she heard the cheers and jeers of the large crowd inside. Groups of people were throwing punches in the stands. She could see a few bodies lying motionless on the ground amidst the commotion.
Luckily, Yang Guifei's team turn didn't come, and Yang Guifei wasn't happy, she hoped her team match ended, then she could without fighting go back home and sleep.
"Guifei, where were you? In moment our team match is going to start," Shao Ren was walking towards the Yang Guifei, he said.
Yang Guifei looked at him and frowned, she saw he was coming outside of the stadium, did he just come? Or went outside after coming inside?
Yang Guifei thought but then, 'Doesn't matter'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe and Shao Ren went backstage to the room in the stadium, where they saw no one?
"Kai didn't come yet?" Yang Guifei asked.
"Don't know, I also just come." Shao Ren shrugged his shoulder and said.
Yang Guifei was about to say something to Shao Ren but was interrupted by a voice.
"Yoy, two are late."
Yang Guifei followed the sound of the voice and spun towards the entrance, where Ye Kai stood with a cup of tea in his hand, taking small, slow sips through a light-colored straw.
"Sorry, I stayed up late night, so wake up late," Shao Ren apologizes, and then turned to Yang Guifei.
Yang Guifei didn't say anything. She didn't want to lie and didn't want to tell the truth that she intentionally woke up late, slowly wear a dress, and slowly walked here.
"Team RGY, It's your turn next." A man wearing a black robe walked to this three and said.
"Okay, we are coming right away," Shao Ren said to the man, as the man left.
"Ready you two," Shao Ren asked.
Yang Guifei nodded, she does like to end it fast and then go home and sleep.
Ye Kai nodded and sipped the tea through a straw.
