There is no doubt that Xue Yuncheng was angry.

Qing Li looked at him in confusion, "Why is Professor Xue angry?"

Her relationship with He Jiangyu had only come to an end, not the end of their lives. Neither of them had reached the point of a life-and-death struggle where they would never see each other again.

What's more, under that situation, what she did was right.

Did she have to disregard the occasion and social etiquette, anger He Jiangyu and then turn around and leave?

So she couldn't understand why Xue Yuncheng was angry.

Xue Yuncheng pursed his thin lips, his facial lines were still tense, but his eyes unconsciously glanced towards Qing Li.

Especially after she expressed her doubts.

Why are you angry? Of course it’s because you’re jealous!

But he couldn't say this out loud. If he dared to say it, Qing Li would immediately hide far away and never see him again!

Xue Yuncheng knew that he had no right to be angry, but when he saw her and He Jiangyu interacting very harmoniously, and even making eye contact many times, he became jealous.

I can't control my emotions at all.

His mood is different now. When she and He Jiangyu were legally married, he could still control his mood. But now, Qing Li is single and he is the only man around her.

Xue Yuncheng knew it was his own fault, so he sighed slowly and said, "I just think that since we're divorced, we should stop having any more contact. I can see that He Jiangyu still has some feelings for you."

Qing Li felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she remained silent and did not express any further opinions.

Xue Yuncheng felt a little annoyed when he saw this.

Qing Li is very smart. She may not find anything once, but if it happens a second time, she will definitely notice something.

She is not that useless person like He Jiangyu. He didn't notice that Zhou Ruoxuan was doing all the hard work and she unintentionally became an accomplice, which led to their divorce today.

His Qing Li is too smart, so smart that if he reveals even the slightest bit, he will be exposed.

Xue Yuncheng figured this out overnight. The next day, he brought breakfast to the courtyard as usual, and he felt Qing Li observing him intentionally or unintentionally.

Smiling bitterly in his heart, Xue Yuncheng dared not reveal any of his feelings, and all he said was work and research.

"Your experience in scientific research surprises me. I can only work with you on truly important projects," said Xue Yuncheng.

Qing Li smiled and said, "It is my honor to be praised by Professor Xue."

Xue Yuncheng said seriously, "I'm not kidding. I didn't have such achievements when I was your age. I really started to achieve success after I was 27 years old. It can be considered as a result of accumulated experience."

The idiom "slow accumulation leads to sudden explosion" is not suitable for Xue Yuncheng either here or in his description, but he thinks so.

If I tell this to others, I'm afraid it will make many people ashamed.

"Although I look easy-going, I'm not someone who will just be nice to others." Xue Yuncheng said without raising his head.

Qing Li was stunned when he heard this and knew that he was telling the truth.

She had seen him being indifferent to other people many times, or in other words, he had almost no friends except for work friends.

It’s not that no one is close to him, but there seems to be a wall in his heart that blocks most people.

The feeling of "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water" is most suitable for him, but it is special to her.

That's why Qing Li doubted Xue Yuncheng's thoughts at first, until later he told her about his past and even who he was looking at through her.

Like his sister.

He also has a sweetheart whom he can't get.

These were enough to dispel Qing Li's doubts, not to mention what he said today, which once again made Qing Li feel that he sometimes thought too much.

She is very outstanding and looks good, but not everyone likes her. Not every man will like her.

Thinking of this, Qing Li felt a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and started talking about research with Xue Yuncheng naturally.

Xue Yuncheng felt relieved to see that she had returned to her normal state.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it would be great if Qing Li was like He Jiangyu.

Xue Yuncheng could only try his best to avoid them meeting.

Contrary to his expectations, he would "accidentally" meet He Jiangyu on several occasions when he invited Qing Li.

He knew this was not a coincidence, it was obvious that He Jiangyu was staring at Qing Li.

Want to start over?

Xue Yuncheng was very annoyed, but he couldn't stop it openly or show his emotions.

"Oh? Will Miss Jiang's paintings also be displayed in the exhibition three days later?" He Jiangyu looked over with a little surprise.

Qing Li nodded. This was not private information and people who paid attention would naturally know it.

He Jiangyu was still a little surprised when he knew about this, as he had never paid attention to this circle before.

He smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I provided the venue for the exhibition. It's in the newly purchased building in Beijing."

This time Qing Li was really surprised.

As far as she knew, although He Jiangyu came from a scholarly family, he had a natural aversion to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which was why he had a bad relationship with Mr. He since childhood.

Why is there an art exhibition going on in the newly purchased building?

Xue Yuncheng looked at He Jiangyu coldly as he pretended to be his grandson, without saying a word, waiting to see how he would smooth things over.

"The boss of the company we are cooperating with this time likes famous paintings, especially the paintings of Master Yu Yu." Having said that, he inadvertently looked up at Qing Li.

Qing Li's eyelids twitched, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he continued talking without changing his expression.

"Just when I was feeling a little worried, Director Zhu suggested that we could hold the art exhibition in the new building. He helped me contact Wen Chaoyuan, which led to this cooperation."

"Of course, in order to cater to the taste of this partner, we have specially negotiated with Wen Chaoyuan for a long time, hoping to exhibit some of Master Yu Yu's masterpieces. I really didn't expect that Miss Jiang's paintings would be among them."

He spoke naturally and Qing Li listened without changing his expression. The two of them understood each other tacitly.

It turned out that He Jiangyu was also able to please her, which made her look at him in a different light.

It seems that I was just being mean to him before.

He Jiangyu looked embarrassed, "It's just that we lack a painter who is familiar with Master Yuyu's paintings as an interpreter. I wonder if Miss Jiang is interested?"

Xue Yuncheng's face was slightly cold. "What do you think Qing Li is? A commentator serving the capitalists?"

I didn't mean to do anything bad, I was just angry. He Jiangyu is a profit-driven businessman who thinks he is superior to others and doesn't take literati seriously. He thinks they are just good at writing and can't make any contribution to society.

They had lived together for several years, and he knew his thoughts best.

He Jiangyu hurriedly said solemnly: "I definitely don't mean to look down on them. On the contrary, because the people around me in the past and my current partners are all literati, I have done a lot of relevant homework and understood cultural heritage. I have a different view of literati than before."

Xue Yuncheng was a little surprised by his serious explanation.

As he spoke, he sighed and smiled bitterly, "So, now I can understand what my family members think."

When Xue Yuncheng saw Qing Li's eyes scrutinizing him after he finished speaking, he subconsciously frowned.

Qing Li said: "I'm sorry, my time is limited and I don't have time to explain to others."

One reason is that she really doesn't have the time, and the other is that she has no interest in explaining to others.

Xue Yuncheng looked at him with a slightly smug look.

He Jiangyu felt a little regretful, "Indeed, Miss Jiang's talent and status are here, I was presumptuous."

The conversation ended here, and Xue Yuncheng thought it was over.

The art exhibition still had to be attended, so Xue Yuncheng turned down a temporary job and accompanied Qing Li to the exhibition venue.

There, I met He Jiangyu who was accompanying his partner.

He was an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a Tang suit, and his every move exuded elegance.

He doesn't look like a company CEO, but more like a great calligrapher.

The two parties just nodded and greeted each other from a distance and then went about their own business. During this time, He Jiangyu never glanced over at them once.

Xue Yuncheng, who was paying attention to him, became alarmed.

He was aware of He Jiangyu's intelligence and methods. If he was serious, he would not only be extremely patient, but would also find a completely different path to succeed than others.

Is He Jiangyu serious about Qing Li?

Although I thought a man like him wouldn't be easily attracted to anyone, Qing Li was a surprise.

Seeing that he seemed to be intentionally leading his partners to this side, Xue Yuncheng pointed to another exhibition hall and said, "Let's go there and take a look."

The paintings on display there are of different styles, among which Master Yu Yu's background painting of figures is displayed there.

Seeing this painting again, Qing Li felt a little dazed.

She remembered that she made this painting because Professor Xue showed her some pictures. All of those pictures were of people’s backs, which made her think of a person.

This person was completely unfamiliar to her, yet he seemed indescribably familiar.

Extremely contradictory.

This painting was created during a live broadcast, and was completed in one go. By the time I woke up, the characters were already vividly depicted on the paper.

In fact, when seeing this figure from behind, Qing Li always felt like blurting out his name.

But she... had clearly never seen this person before.

Xue Yuncheng stared at the painting, then glanced sideways at Qing Li beside him. Seeing a tiny light flashing in her eyes, gently flickering as if some shackles were about to be broken, a complex look flashed across his eyes.

There were relatively few people in this exhibition hall. At the moment, there were only the two of them. Xue Yuncheng called out softly, "Qing Li."

Qing Li hummed softly, his eyes still fixed on the back.

“Does it feel like déjà vu?”

"Ah."

"Have you ever thought that maybe you have forgotten something?"

Qing Li shifted his gaze to Xue Yuncheng, "What did you say?"

"Teacher Qin, please come this way. The painting of Master Yu Yu's back is on display here. I heard that Master Yu Yu asked my grandfather to send this painting to Fang Xin Garden for display. Now it is on tour in the capital."

He Jiangyu's voice came, interrupting the two of them.

Xue Yuncheng lowered his eyes and Qing Li looked back.

After coming in, He Jiangyu seemed to have just seen the two of them and said, "Miss Jiang is here too."

He turned around and smiled at the elegant middle-aged man and said, "Teacher Qin just said that he wanted to meet the painter of the mountain original picture, and now he has met him."
