It was already five o’clock in the afternoon when they returned from the Zhuang house.
Fu Ziling was most excited on the way, chattering endlessly.
“Grandpa Zhuang said I have a talent for drawing, and that my drawings would be no less impressive if I were placed in a national children’s drawing competition.”
“Grandpa Zhuang said that he could teach me to draw one weekend a week, Mommy, will you come with me every week from now on?”
Ye Yunla stroked his little head and said, “Painting is a very boring thing, it’s not something that can be sustained by a pa*sing interest, are you really willing to stick with it?”
Fu Ziling nodded vigorously, “Mommy, I will stick to painting every day just like my sister.”
“Awesome.” Ye Yunla smiled gently, “Tomorrow Mummy will take you to the market to buy professional painting tools and paper to come back, take a good rest first today.”
“Thank you Mummy!”
Fu Ziling happily took his sister to play.
Ye Yunla put on her apron and went to the kitchen, as Fu Beijue had made her breakfast himself, so she would be the one to make dinner.
There were all sorts of fresh ingredients in the kitchen, and she had a catty of kiwai prawns cleaned and white-burned in boiling water to make a fresh dipping sauce. There was fresh fish in the pond, so she neatly made a plate of boiled fish, cut up half a chicken for a potato stew, and added a small plate of stir-fried meat, a bowl of green vegetables and a soup, a simple home-cooked meal was ready.
Just as the meal was served, Fu Beijiu came back.
After he entered and changed his shoes, he took off the black mask from his face.
Little Yinyin was the first to rush over: “Daddy, why do you have to wear a mask every day?”
“Because daddy has scars on his face, and those who are already afraid of daddy are even more afraid.” Fu Beijiu answered her softly, then lifted her up, tossed her up in the air and caught her again.
Fu Zi Ling jumped up and down in excitement, “I want it too, I want it too!”
“Okay, stop pestering your daddy, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.” Ye Yunla untied her apron and set out the cutlery.
The children hurriedly and obediently went to wash their hands.
Ye Yunla’s cooking was not as rich as the chef’s, but it was homely and full of flavour, and the four children and Fu Beijue, the big man, were all very satisfied with their food.
Ye Yunla saved a portion of each dish and asked housekeeper Qiao to send it upstairs to Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu was sick with worry and had not been feeling well.
Now that the weather was cold, she was coughing a little, plus she had nothing to say to Ye Yunla and Fu Beijiu, so she didn’t go out all day.
Ye Yunla knows that it is not a good thing to let things go on like this.
But after all, she is an outsider to the Fu family, and Mrs. Fu’s heartache still needs to be solved by Fu Beijue.
It depended on whether or not Duke Fu was willing to solve it.
After the meal, the four children chased each other around the courtyard, while Ye Yunla had Catherine, who had been locked up on the third floor, brought down.
Catherine had not changed much after three days in captivity, except that her turquoise eyes were a little dull.
Pete prepared the tools needed for hypnosis and said in a cold voice, “As a rule, the second hypnosis will recall most of the memories, Catherine, don’t try to play tricks.”
Ye Yunla said indifferently, “If the memory loss can be resolved the second time, then you can leave the Fu family early.”
“I want to see Fu Nanchuan first.” Catherine bit her lower lip and said word for word, “Who knows if Fu Nanchuan died in your hands, unless I am allowed to see Fu Nanchuan well and alive, …… I’d rather be locked up by you guys for the rest of my life.”
Fu Beijiu swept his cold eyes at her, “Do you really want to see Fu Nanchuan?”
Catherine clenched the back slot of her teeth: “If Fu Nanchuan dies, I will not let you guys off.”
“Just because you and Fu Nanchuan can strawman people doesn’t mean everyone is.” Ye Yunla said indifferently, “Since you want to meet, then I’ll let you meet, but I hope you won’t be too disappointed.”
