"It's not about research, it's just a hobby." Jiang Ziyan walked briskly, walked in front of Xu Lao, maintained a proper position, and spoke humbly, leaving no room for picking.

"I see, I'm glad you're interested in perfumery, but I've always only accepted people who want to study here." Xu Lao spoke mellowly, and skillfully rejected Jiang Ziyan, wanting her to retreat.

"I like perfumery very much, I hope I can turn my hobby into my academic research, and I hope Xu Lao can give me this opportunity." Jiang Ziyan understood what Xu Lao meant, but in order to get Sheng Lu's favor, she still chose to try again, even if she was rejected mercilessly in the end, at least the man could see her love for perfumery.

"I'm sorry, Ye Han is my closed disciple, and I don't plan to accept any more apprentices." Xu Lao took a sip of the teacup, his eyes had already withdrawn from Jiang Ziyan, and he didn't intend to continue the conversation.

"Do you really stop thinking about it?" Jiang Ziyan paused slightly, then gritted her teeth, her heart was horizontal, and she asked cheekily, she really needed this opportunity.

"It's not impossible, unless it's ......" Facing her relentless pursuit, Xu Lao was very curious, what was the reason for letting the pampered Jiang family put down her body and repeatedly begged to come to his bad old man's house to study.

"Unless what?" Jiang Ziyan left behind her former reserve, and looked at Xu Lao with expectation, her eyes almost on him.

"Unless you are as talented as Ye Han, I will accept you into the door." Old Xu's bright eyes fell on Jiang Ziyan silently, observing her every movement and look.

"This ...... I may not be as powerful as Miss Ye, but I can make up for my innate deficiencies with hard work. Jiang Ziyan glanced at Ye Han with resentful eyes, she knew that she was not particularly good at perfumery, so she had to retreat.

But from this moment on, the resentment in the heart took root and coiled around the whole heart.

Jiang Ziyan was not convinced, why could a civilian like Ye Han be appreciated by Xu Lao and loved by Sheng Lu.

"If Miss Jiang really likes it, you can let the young lady of the Sheng family give you guidance, her talent is very good." Xu Laozai deliberately bit the words "Young Lady of the Sheng Family" a little heavier, just to remind Jiang Ziyan who is the real Young Lady of the Sheng Family.

Xu Lao was in a high position, and he had a full view of the demeanor of everyone below, and soon understood the real purpose of Jiang Ziyan's coming here.

Here, he never had an apprentice with a different heart.

"What Elder Xu said is that the knowledge I want to know now, Miss Ye has taught me more than enough." Jiang Ziyan pretended not to understand, and still did not change her name to Ye Han.

In her eyes, the position of the young lady of the Sheng family will one day belong to her.

"Ye Han, you have to take care of Miss Jiang more in the future." The smile in Xu Lao's eyes deepened, and he looked at Ye Han with a smile.

"That's natural, Miss Jiang is so attentive to my son, of course I can't slack off." Ye Han's smile was like a flower, and his face looked simple and kind, but it made Jiang Ziyan feel a hint of threat.

"Then it's troublesome Miss Ye." Jiang Ziyan suppressed her fear, returned a gentle smile, and then turned around and walked to Mrs. Sheng and sat down.

"Zi Yan, I didn't expect you to have a lot of research on perfumery, and I had the opportunity to let my aunt try your work." Mrs. Sheng noticed that Ye Han was deliberately taking the opportunity to suppress Jiang Ziyan, so in order not to embarrass Jiang Ziyan, she inadvertently promoted her.

"Auntie, I have all small insect carving skills, not enough to worry about, if you want to use them, then of course it is more appropriate to use your daughter-in-law." Jiang Ziyan took Mrs. Sheng's hand, and the two were intimate like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although their attitude was humble, they were actually provoking Ye Han with their actions.

"She's a busy person, I can't see her." Mrs. Sheng looked at Ye Han with disdain, with disdain in her eyes.

"Mrs. Sheng, don't say that, the young lady is also for her studies." Jiang Ziyan looks well-behaved and sensible, and anyone who sees it will like it.

Mrs. Sheng and Jiang Ziyan sang with a white face and a red face, saying that Ye Han was not a person inside and out.

Ye Han just looked at the two of them quietly, and didn't make any resistance, the other party had made up his mind to target himself, so why bother to ask for it again?

Anyway, they can only vent in this way now, and there is no need to care about this kind of painless attack.

"Mom, don't say a few words, Ye Han is not bad to you." Sheng Lu frowned slightly, expressing dissatisfaction with Mrs. Sheng's attitude.

"You are now disobedient to me because of a woman, you are really raising you for nothing." Mrs. Sheng's eyes trembled slightly, and she sighed anxiously.

"Sheng Lu, don't quarrel with your mother." Ye Han's well-defined jade hand was attached to the man's face, smoothing the eyebrows twisted into Sichuan characters, and the tenderness under his eyes gradually calmed Sheng Lu.

"Okay." Sheng Lu bowed slightly, not avoiding Ye Han's touch, he wanted to grab her white and tender little hand with his backhand, but he couldn't help it after all.

Originally, the small interaction between the two was extremely dazzling in Jiang Ziyan's eyes, and when she saw this scene at this time, she was even more heartbroken, and the delicate nail art was fiercely embedded in her palm because of anger.

"It's still late, shouldn't we go home?" Jiang Ziyan cheekily sent an invitation to Sheng Lu, she really couldn't stand to watch her beloved man sitting with other women and flirting with her eyebrows.

"If you're in a hurry, you can go home first, I still have something to talk to Xu Lao about." Sheng Lu's face was dull, and the cold air emanating from his body was close to that of a man with many mouths and tongues.

"No, it's just that Xiao Qi needs to rest early, and I have to teach him bilingualism tomorrow." Jiang Ziyan's expression was stiff, and her smile was already deformed, but she was still trying to maintain it.

"Our Xiao Qi made Miss Jiang feel tired, but Xiao Qi said yesterday that he didn't want you to be his bilingual teacher, so Miss Jiang doesn't have to be so concerned about this matter." Ye Han talked to Jiang Ziyan in the posture of Sheng Qi's mother, which made Jiang Ziyan unable to refute.

"What Miss Ye said, then I won't intervene." Jiang Ziyan smiled stupidly, sat on the chair and stopped talking.

Ye Han smiled lightly, she was finally no longer the little sheep that had been slaughtered by others, and now she could make Jiang Ziyan have nothing to say, which was a big change after she walked out of the attic.

"Then let's leave first, Sheng Lu remember to bring Xiao Qi back early." Madame Sheng understood that they had been disturbed for too long, so she took a look at it and left.

Before leaving, Mrs. Sheng glanced at Ye Han fiercely, and Ye Han was not to be outdone, and met the other party's hostility with calm eyes.

Ye Han's attitude made Mrs. Sheng even more angry, but she didn't expect that Ye Han, who had always been respectful to herself, would dare to resist now.

"Auntie, let's go." Jiang Ziyan grabbed Mrs. Sheng's tender hand and reminded her not to lose her temper here, but Xu Lao was still watching.

"Okay." Madame Sheng regained her appearance as an elegant lady and slowly walked away.

"Elder Xu, can I often bring Xiao Qi to visit you in the future?" This is the second time Sheng Lu has asked Xu Lao, it sounds like he is trying to see Ye Han more for Sheng Qi, but in fact, he can't help but miss Ye Han.

"Absolutely."

Xu Lao couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't expect that Mr. Tang Sheng was actually a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, I am afraid that even he didn't realize how strong his love for Ye Han was.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Sheng Lu was full of joy, but his face remained calm, so that Ye Han couldn't detect any emotion.

"Do you want to come and see me?" Ye Han cautiously tentatively, he always felt that Sheng Lu had changed a lot recently, maybe he was a little concerned about himself?

"No, Xu Lao likes Xiao Qi." Sheng Lu's words did not have a trace of warmth, and instantly extinguished Ye Han's newly heated heart.

"Okay......" Ye Han reluctantly hooked the corners of his lips and tilted his head to the side, trying to stop thinking about Sheng Lu.

And Sheng Lu couldn't help but feel bored in his heart when he saw her attitude.

It didn't take long for Sheng Lu to get up suddenly, Ye Han was startled, but he didn't dare to say anything, just looked at it with his spare eyes.

"Old Xu, it's getting late, I'll take Xiao Qi home first, and I'll come to visit you next time I have a chance." Sheng Lu strode up to Xu Lao and held Sheng Lu in his arms.

"Go, you young people......" Xu Lao sighed, but he didn't say what was in his heart, after all, the relationship is a matter between the two, and it is not appropriate for him to intervene as an outsider.

"Say goodbye to grandpa." Sheng Lu reminded Sheng Qi that he had been bothering in the Xu Mansion for so long, and he couldn't be without courtesy.

"Grandpa Xu, goodbye, I'll come to play with you next time." Sheng Qi's bright eyes flashed with little stars, and he waved his hand to Xu Lao reluctantly, and then left Xu's house with his father.

Ye Han looked at Sheng Lu's back and hesitated, not knowing whether he should catch up, if he was thrown away directly, wouldn't it be very faceless?

"Ye Han, what are you still doing? You see Xiao Qi's gaze never leaves you. Xu Lao reminded helplessly.

Ye Han came back to his senses and found that Sheng Qi was looking at him with blank eyes, so he was extremely aggrieved, as if he had been abandoned.

She only noticed her son's eyes, but she didn't notice that Sheng Lu deliberately slowed down and waited for her to catch up.

"Thank you, master." Ye Han didn't know what expression to use to describe his mood at the moment, so he had no choice but to rush to the door.

"Mom, I thought you wouldn't start it." Sheng Qi pursed his rosy little lips and reached out for his mother's hug, but Sheng Lu wouldn't let him go.

"Why, didn't I come?" Ye Han looked at his son's aggrieved appearance, his heart was filled with bitterness, and his eyes felt sour because of the dust.

"Sheng Lu, let me hug Xiao Qi." Ye Han finally couldn't help but take the initiative to speak.

"Hmm." The corners of Sheng Lu's lips hooked up an unnoticed arc, and then sent Sheng Qi to Ye Han's arms, leaned on the body, lit a cigarette, and looked at the mother and son silently.

Sheng Lu was fascinated, and before he knew it, the smoke had burned to the end, and the heat was burning his fingers wantonly.

At this time, Sheng Lu gradually came back to his senses and threw away the cigarette butt.
