Chapter 236: Innocent And Harmless??
On seeing her walk out of the room, Du Yating's eyes shone bright, and he stood up.
It was difficult to blame him as Rong Yue was indeed a stunning beauty. Not just him, but many people around all noticed her when she stepped out.
With her hair packed in a ponytail and revealing her delicate and slender face up until her swan-like neck.
Her looks were extremely enchanting.
Before Du Yating could get to her, Wang An and Wang Bo already rushed to her.
"Sister Yue, how was it?"
"Master said it can't be tough for sister. Can't you see that she is the second to come out?" Wang Bo countered immediately with a smile.
"Come, while you were inside, big brother went to get some snacks so you could eat while we are waiting for the results."
Hearing there was food, Rong Yue smiled happily and was about to follow them.
However, Du Yating reached them at this point.
"Sister Rong, how was it?" Du Yating asked with a sweet smile on his face.
Although he found it impressive that Rong Yue could come out this early, he didn't think that her work could be anything impressive.
Training on how to use speed with strokes while also maintaining the quality of the artwork was not easy.
It was the kind of thing that a person could only learn with time, and he believed that at Rong Yue's age, she couldn't have achieved that kind of thing.
Unfortunately for him, he had no idea that Rong Yue had more than fifteen years of extra experience from her past life.
"It was okay,"
Hearing her dispirited reply, he felt that his guess had been accurate. However, Du Yating was pleased to know that.
It was only if she was greatly behind him that he could easily impress her with his own skills.
"Don't be affected by that, sister Rong. After all, you have only just started."
"Also, if you need any help from me, I'll do my best to help you."
Wang An and Wang Bo both frowned as they listened to him. After all, although he sounded like he was consoling her.
It also sounded like he was looking down on Rong Yue's painting skills.
"Hey man, are you looking down on the student that my grandfather chose?"
"What are you sounding so righteous about? In the past, you wanted to be his student, but he turned you down. Now that he has a student, do you think my sister would be inferior to you?"
"What a righteous way of offering your help!" Wang An was the type to get agitated very easily.
Also, he already considered Rong Yue, his sister. She had just been bullied outside, and now, he saw that she was about to be bullied in front of him.
Wang Bo didn't stay idle either as he joined in. "Don't have any thoughts about my sister. Otherwise, we three brothers would make it so that you can't even use your hands to paint anymore."
Seeing the two brats younger than him speak so rudely, Du Yating clenched his fists together.
However, his face still had that fake and amiable smile and he didn't talk back for three reasons.
One, the Wang Family was not a power that he could afford to offend in the capital, after all, he was a person of humble background.
Secondly, he was older than the two, and arguing with them would only make him look stupid.
As he thought of that, he could only keep quiet and pretend he didn't mind.
The third reason was that he wanted to be in Rong Yue's good grace. From the short time they had spent outside, he could already tell that she was someone that liked to keep herself away from troubles and insignificant things.
If he argued back, he felt that he would seem too lousy in front of her.
"Brother, you both must have misunderstood my intentions. I was only encouraging sister Rong and letting her know that if she wants to talk about painting with someone who understands, she can talk to me also."
"Humph! Why would she want to talk to you when she has grandfather? Don't think that I don't know men like you, okay?"
Without allowing him to reply back, Wang An walked off with Rong Yue.

As for Rong Yue, she looked back and gave Du Yating a small smile.
To her, it was her giving him some face back, but she wouldn't have expected that Du Yating would think that she smiled at him because she thought highly of him.
"Sister, you came out second. I'm sure that it's only because this man has about ten years more of experience that he was able to come out earlier than you with about twenty minutes."
"Hehe.." Rong Yue only smiled as she knew that she had already finished a long time inside the room.
In fact, it could be said that she had finished thirty minutes earlier than Du Yating and not twenty minutes after him.
The three of them walked up to where Wang Lei was.
"This is Grandfather's personal office in the Art Association. We can stay here since he has to stay with his friends outside." Wang Bo explained while Wang An was telling Wang Lei about what Du Yating did.
"Yue'er, you must be careful around that Du Yating. He's the type to go above and beyond to get a woman, and he seems to have his eyes on you." Wang Lei advised.
Although he liked Rong Yue also, his advice wasn't from a place of jealousy and was more of concern towards Du Yating's interest in her.
Rong Yue smiled and settled on one of the chairs.
"As long as he doesn't act out of line, we would coexist peacefully without anyone bothering the other."
"But if he dares to cross any line with him, he won't even know what he did wrong…." She left the statement incomplete, but the fierceness in her eyes made the three brothers shocked and speechless.
Wang An had his mouth slackened open.
"Was this still his innocent and harmless sister?"
