Daohua was initially delighted by Xiao Yeyang painting her portrait, but after Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu's comments, a look at the painting now evoked a twinge of discomfort.
"Manman, put the painting away and store it properly," she instructed.
Wang Manman was taken aback. "Miss, didn't you really like this painting? Why aren't you displaying it anymore?"
Daohua fell silent for a moment. "Just put it away. Mother comes over from time to time, and if she sees it and asks who painted it, am I supposed to lie to her?"
After a moment's thought, Wang Manman suggested, "What if we hang it in the study?"
Daohua shook her head. "Master Shen occasionally visits my study for a chat. It wouldn't be good if she saw it there either. Just put it away. If I want to see it, I'll take it out myself."
Wang Manman nodded and, with some reluctance, put the painting away.
