I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 798: Finally Realizing to Cherish My Husband

Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Finally Realizing to Cherish My Husband
Huh? Apprentice? What apprentice?! Ning Xixi is totally confused.
Ji Qing sees her dazed cute appearance and laughs, "Mr. Gu saw your work and wants to take you as his apprentice. It so happens that he knew we are acquainted, so he asked me to arrange a meeting for you two. You might not know who Mr. Gu is, but perhaps you’ve heard of his other name—Cang Qiao?"
Ning Xixi is shocked!
Mr. Cang Qiao! Oh my god, is this man in front of me the most prestigious and popular Mr. Cang Qiao in China’s art scene?!
He possesses both inherent talent and diligence, excelling in both traditional Chinese and oil painting, and he is profoundly adept. He has won numerous awards both domestically and internationally, and any of his works can sell for an astronomical price.
He’s also Ning Xixi’s idol, no, it should be said, he’s the idol of everyone in China studying art!
Ning Xixi, seeing her idol like a total fangirl, speaks excitedly and jumbled, "Ca...Cang Qiao, sir, could you give me an autograph? Oh, can I take a photo with you? Am I dreaming?"
Ji Qing can’t help but chuckle, "Xixi, he’s talking about taking you as an apprentice, and you’re still thinking about autographs and photos?"
Gu Chengzheng also smiles, raising an eyebrow: "You’re a good kid. It’s clear to see, you have talent in drawing and design, I’d like to hire you as my apprentice. Would you like that?"
Happiness came so suddenly, Ning Xixi pinched her own cheek.
Ouch, it hurts!
It’s real! Everything is real!
"I...I...I... I would!" Ning Xixi nods eagerly, like a pecking chicken.
Following Ji Qing’s instruction, Ning Xixi respectfully offered a cup of tea to Gu Chengzheng, performed an ancient ritual, and thus smoothly completed her apprenticeship.
Ji Qing jokes, "Xixi, Mr. Gu has only taken three apprentices in his life, and you are one of them!"
Ning Xixi: ...Oh my god!
Having taken such an apprentice, Gu Chengzheng is very pleased, "I heard you’re on summer vacation? This summer, come to Jiangcheng, I’ll teach you personally."
Ning Xixi, overwhelmed with honor, "Personally... teach me?"
"Of course, my apprentices are my responsibility," Gu Chengzheng grows more fond of her the more he looks at her.
"Mmm! Yes, Mr. Cang Qiao...no, Master, I will definitely work hard!"
...
After chatting with Gu Chengzheng for an afternoon, Ning Xixi feels reluctant to leave and returns to her room.
At the desk, Ji Yebai is still busy. Seeing her return, he beckons Ning Xixi, "Erxi, come here."
Ning Xixi walks over, he pulls her to sit on his lap, undeterred by her blushing face, pulling her closer, his warm breath spraying on Ning Xixi’s pale face.
"What’s next on the agenda? How about, this summer, young master shows you around the world?"
His tone is lighthearted, but Ning Xixi sees the deep-seated fatigue he’s trying to mask.
She tenderly touches his handsome face, "Don’t always think about me, take some time to rest yourself! Every day you have to accompany me and you’re busy with work, you’re not made of iron..."
"Feeling sorry for me?" The young master is in a very good mood.
Humph, this Ning little piggy finally knows how to care for her husband!
"Erm... Right, there’s something I need to tell you, I have taken Mr. Gu Chengzheng as my master, I will be going to Jiangcheng to study painting during the next holidays..."
Before she finishes, Ji Yebai cuts her off, his face that was full of smiles now clouded with storm, his eyes dark, "So, you decided without discussing with me, just planning to leave me behind?"
