Chapter 720: As Stubborn As A Herd Of Ten Oxen!

She was jealous and envious that Dongfang Ming would willingly paint portraits for them but not for her! It was not even that difficult, and she was his fiancee. In all fairness, she should be the one closest to him!

Why does Brother Ming hate me so much? Am I not better than her? Oh, why… The conflict played back in her heart every day.

Little Tian could only look on as her lady was consumed by fury once more. She did not know how she could advise her to let go.

Her lady was as stubborn as a herd of ten oxen! As a servant, she had said all that she should and should not say, and then some.

Suddenly, Wang Xiangyun stood up, her beautiful face a mixture of envy and rage. “We’re going to the bookstore!”

And then she quickened her pace and rushed out the door, leaving behind Little Tian, who did not react in time.

It was only after Wang Xiangyun officially left the room that Little Tian realized what was going on. She chased after her. “Miss, wait for me!”

She could not make sense of whatever thoughts her lady was having. Why was she in a rush to follow them to the bookstore? She’d better not go there with the eagerness she had now, only to leave in tears again!

“Master, I think I saw Little Tian just now. Miss Wang might follow us!” Ming Yan told Dongfang Ming, who was taking the lead.

He knew Little Tian would come to check on their status. She must have been under Wang Xiangyun’s orders.

Dongfang Ming did not stir when he heard that. Very subtly, he furrowed his brows. “Ignore that, we’ll finish what we planned to do.”

He had stated clearly that he would not take her as his bride, and he would not change his mind regardless of her antics.

Moreover, she had the freedom to go wherever she wished. The land did not belong to Dongfang Ming. There was nowhere she was not allowed to go. As long as she did not bother him and maintained her distance, he was fine.

Dongfang Ming and Mingyan stepped into the bookstore one after the other. They requested that the two portraits be framed, and handed them over to the shop assistant.

Not long after, Wang Xiangyun and Little Tian arrived at the bookstore too. The lady stayed a few meters away, observing Dongfang Ming’s every move.

The jealousy and rage she harbored earlier seemed to have vanished.

“Miss, is there anything you’d like to get? Stationery, or perhaps some poetry books? We have everything you need here.”

The shop assistant greeted her passionately. Judging by her attire, he could tell she came from a rich family.

Also, this was the first time he had laid eyes on such beauty. He set his sights on the woman, ogling her.

Little Tian caught on and quickly blocked his view. “We’re just looking around. We’ll call you when we need anything! There’s no need to follow us.”

Frustrated, it was then that the shop assistant acknowledged that Little Tian was there too.

He was intuitive enough to guess that Little Tian must be Wang Xiangyun’s servant. With a smile on his face, he said, “If that is what you wish, then I shall leave you to your browsing. Call me if you need me.”

He peeked a few more times at Wang Xiangyun.

Just when he was about to leave, Wang Xiangyun called, “Sir, just a moment.”

Then she marched nearer to him, and asked in a low voice, “That gentleman over there…did he pass two portraits to you? For framing?”

“Yes, indeed.” The shop assistant did not know why she asked so, but he told the beautiful woman the truth.

Usually, he should have kept whatever the customers did in his shop a secret, shouldn’t he?
