DLSRWAR Chapter 62 Young Madam?

Qin Yumian glanced at the young man with amusement. “What else would it be?”

Ye Hancheng’s smile became even brighter, but thinking about the purpose of bringing Qin Yumian here today, he quickly restrained his smile and spoke seriously and profoundly, “Let’s go inside.”

He pushed the heavy door open, and Qin Yumian and Ye Hancheng walked in together.

A red carpet stretched from the entrance to the staircase, and the exquisite European-style architecture exuded the luxury and nobility of ancient aristocracy.

Oil paintings of characters from fairy tales adorned the walls, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and colorful balloons floated in the air. It truly felt like stepping into the castle of a fairy tale princess.

Ye Hancheng said, “This is where my parents got married.”

Ye Jingyuan and Cheng Xi’s wedding was a belated affair. When Cheng Xi casually mentioned wanting a castle wedding, Ye Jingyuan had this castle built.

Their wedding was considered a century event, as it united the Ye and Cheng families, attracting widespread attention.

The high society ladies who attended the wedding envied Cheng Xi when they saw this pink castle.

Yet, despite appearing to be a loving couple to outsiders, they eventually divorced.

After the wedding, Ye Jingyuan was busy with work and neglected his family. Cheng Xi, the only child of the Cheng family, had a bold personality and striking beauty. She wasn’t content to be a secluded wife waiting day and night for her husband to return.

Even though there was still some affection between them, it was nearly worn away by years of quarrels.

Eventually, Cheng Xi filed for divorce.

Initially, Ye Hancheng had a strained relationship with his parents, but it was only after Ye Zhizhou took over the company and Ye Jingyuan gradually retired from the center of power that the father and son had time to spend together.

Cheng Xi also felt deeply guilty toward her younger son, so she always sought opportunities to make amends.

When Ye Hancheng called her last night saying he wanted to visit the castle, Cheng Xi agreed without hesitation and had someone deliver the key first thing in the morning.

Qin Yumian looked around at the paintings on the walls, noticing that each one depicted a scene from a fairy tale.

There were Sleeping Beauty’s serene face, Snow White sitting among the seven dwarfs, and the Little Mermaid emerging from the water…

Just as the young man had said, this place was indeed a world from a fairy tale.

Ye Hancheng stood at the foot of the stairs and said, “Class Monitor Qin, let’s go upstairs and have a look.”

Qin Yumian nodded and followed the young man up to the third floor.

She glanced at the second floor and asked, “Aren’t we going to the second floor first?”

Ye Hancheng replied, “The second floor is the bedrooms; there’s nothing special to see.”

He also had a room here, which Cheng Xi had arranged for him after he was born. Occasionally, Cheng Xi would bring him here to stay for a few days.

Upon hearing the young man’s words, Qin Yumian put away her curiosity and obediently went to the study on the third floor.

Three walls were filled with tall bookshelves, leaving only one wall to display a family portrait of the Ye family.

Qin Yumian’s gaze swept over the bookshelves before settling on the family portrait.

A tall, handsome man had one arm around his wife’s shoulder and the other resting on the head of their eldest son. The woman with a striking appearance was holding a soft, adorable little boy, her gentle and sweet smile leaning against her husband’s embrace.

The little boy standing in front of the couple was also strikingly handsome. Although his expression was neutral, his eyes had a hint of sparkle.

This was a very happy family of four.

Ye Hancheng noticed what Qin Yumian was looking at and, seeing the little boy in the photo who was even drooling a bit, felt a bit embarrassed.

Why did this photo have to be left here?!

Ye Hancheng, with his ears slightly red, turned Qin Yumian’s face away from the photo. “Class Monitor Qin, look over here.”

Qin Yumian, with a teasing smile in her eyes, said, “Quite cute.”

Ye Hancheng: “…”

He had to make sure this photo was destroyed when he went back!

Seeing the young man’s flustered and embarrassed reaction, Qin Yumian couldn’t help but laugh.

He was still quite cute.

If Hao Jiajia knew she had such thoughts, she would definitely celebrate the hopeful prospects of Ye Hancheng pursuing her!

When a girl thinks a man is handsome, cool, or charming, it means there is still hope for him.

But if she finds him cute, it’s over. It means she might have developed a natural tolerance and motherly filter for him (like a mom fan), implying that she would be limitless in her affection, even finding his silly actions endearing.

That was why Qin Yumian didn’t get angry when Ye Hancheng acted out of line; she just let him be.

Qin Yumian followed the young man’s direction and asked, “What do you want me to see?”

Ye Hancheng instructed, “Pick any book from the shelf and have a look.”

Qin Yumian did as told and randomly took a book from the shelf.

The hardcover had a familiar title.

It was the name of a comic she had read before.

Qin Yumian glanced back at the young man and then picked another book from the fifth row, which was still a comic book.

Could it be that all the books here were comics? Qin Yumian wondered.

Ye Hancheng came over and explained, “After I returned to the capital, I had them collect all the comic books that had been sold, along with some comic drafts. From now on, every time a new comic is released, it will be sent here. So whenever you want to read comics, you can come here.”

Qin Yumian: “…”

She did like reading comics, but it was more like a pastime for her, like flipping through magazines.

However, the fact that the young man went through so much just for her simple hobby was indeed touching, though it was also quite amusing.

Qin Yumian said helplessly, “Jiajia and I are going back tomorrow.”

With several thousand kilometers separating Sangcheng and the capital, was she supposed to come all the way to the capital just to read comics?

Ye Hancheng replied with a tone of certainty, “But you will come to the capital again in the future.”

After the college entrance exams, she would definitely apply to Tsinghua-Peking Central Academy of Fine Arts, or other prestigious institutions, and after they got married, they would live in the capital.

Qin Yumian was taken aback by the young man’s words.

She put the comic book back on the shelf, her long, curled lashes slightly lowered, and her voice as soft as a whisper, “I won’t be coming again.”

…

As they came out of the castle, a man in a black suit and glasses approached respectfully and asked, “Little Young Master, aren’t you staying in the castle for lunch?”

The man was in charge of managing the castle, and he was the one who had delivered the keys to Ye Hancheng.

Ye Hancheng waved his hand, “No, I’m taking Class Monitor Qin to Fawn Mountain Lodge for lunch.”

“Understood, Little Young Master. Have a good trip, Young Madam.”

Qin Yumian’s steps suddenly halted.

Ye Hancheng hurriedly explained, “She’s my class monitor. Just call her Miss Qin.”

The man calmly adjusted his address, “Little Young Master, Miss Qin, have a good trip.”

It felt like the man was doing it on purpose.

She cast a faint, sidelong glance at the man but said nothing and got into the car with her gracefully long legs.

Ye Hancheng lagged a step behind and warned the man, “Don’t call her that.”

He then muttered softly, “It’s not the right time yet.”

…

Big Orange: Don’t call her that (but secretly pleased: Well done)
