Chapter 332 - 332: Looking for an Art Teacher
After confirming that no one had followed her out, Xia Wan immediately turned to Chen MO and asked, “Do you know who is skilled in art in our county?
Chen MO couldn’t help but chuckle at Xia Wan’s nervous expression. He gazed affectionately at her and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
“Let Xu Ye handle the task of finding an art teacher. He has plenty of connections, so he should have no trouble locating one.”
Had Chen MO not mentioned it, Xia Wan might have forgotten about Xu Ye. Lately, she had been caught up in her own affairs and hadn’t seen Xu Ye come to visit.
Now that Chen MO had brought up Xu Ye, Xia Wan appeared somewhat embarrassed. “Brother Xu has helped our family multiple times in the past, but
I haven’t had the chance to properly thank him. And now I have to trouble him to find an art teacher. I feel bad.”
Seeing Xia Wan blame herself, Chen MO quickly reassured her, “He’s my brother, and you’re my girlfriend. What concerns you concerns him. It’s only natural for him to assist you.”
Xia Wan blushed immediately. Though she had implicitly acknowledged their relationship, she still felt a bit bashful when Chen MO expressed these sentiments.
With no one else around, Chen MO held her hand and asked tenderly, “Tomorrow is Saturday. Do you have any plans?”
As he spoke, his affectionate gaze remained fixed on Xia Wan.
Feeling her heart race, Xia Wan lowered her head, unable to meet Chen Mo’s affectionate gaze. “Liu Sha is coming in the afternoon to tutor me for three hours. I’m free the rest of the day,” she murmured.
Chen Mo’s soft laughter rang out. “Alright, then I’ll consider the morning and evening as mine.”
His neck nestled against the top of her head, causing Xia Wan’s heart to race even faster.
Chen MO parked the car by the roadside, and they leisurely strolled along the field’s edge.
They walked hand in hand for quite a while, only realizing the encroaching darkness when they saw the sky dimming. It was time for Xia Wan to head home.
“I should get going. If I stay out too late, my mom will get worried,” Xia Wan mentioned.
Reluctance filled Chen Mots eyes, yet he also understood that if he detained her, Yan Han and others would grow concerned.
“I’ll take you back,” Chen MO offered.
Xia Wan nodded. At the alley entrance, Chen MO dropped her off.
After waving goodbye to Chen MO, Xia Wan began her journey home.
Chen MO’s gaze remained on her retreating figure until she vanished from sight.
Upon returning to his car, he promptly dialed Xu Ye’s number and requested his help in finding an art teacher.
Xu Ye’s playful voice emitted from the other end of the line. “Searching for an art teacher? How old are you? Why the sudden interest in art?”
“Considering you’re in New York, shouldn’t there be an abundance of capable art teachers? Plus, with your family’s influence, you could have your pick of attractive instructors.”
Chen MO interjected, playfully teasing, “It’s not for me, but for Xia Wan’s younger brother, Xia Feng. He’s taken an interest in art, and I hope you can find a suitable teacher for him.”
Xu Ye paused briefly before bursting into laughter. “Alright, kid. I worried you’d struggle with pleasing Xia Wan, given this is your first relationship. But it seems I fretted needlessly. You’ve even managed to win over Xia Wan’s brother and begin with her family.”
“Are you content with the Xia family now?”
“I’m good to Xia Feng because I want to support his interests,” Chen MO responded earnestly. “Don’t read too much into it.”
“Come on, many folks in our county want art lessons. Why not find a teacher for them too? Why the secrecy from her brother? It’s not embarrassing to ingratiate yourself with your future wife’s family. ”
Chen MO remained silent, which was tacit agreement.
Thankfully, he hadn’t informed Xu Ye about the MP4. Otherwise, Xu Ye would’ve likely laughed even harder.
“Rest assured,” Xu Ye declared confidently. “Leave this to me. I’ll find someone in the next two days and have her visit Xia Wan’s house on Sunday.”
“In any case, since Xia Wan addresses me as ‘brother,’ I should take good care of her.”
Chen MO nodded, his gaze lingering on Xia Wan’s residence. He remarked, “I should tend to business. I’ll entrust Xia Wan to you.”
“Have you informed Xia Wan about this?” Xu Ye sounded surprised.
“No,” Chen MO shook his head.
“You’re leaving? Without telling Xia Wan? Aren’t you concerned she’ll be upset with you?” Xu Ye’s astonishment was evident..
