Shen Zhuhang was silent for a while before answering, âNo, I donât want to cancel the engagement.â
Mu Qingxin couldnât understand Shen Zhuhang so she asked in a tired way, âWhy not?â
âI like you. I want to be with you and I hope you can accept me. Iâm trying very hard to be a boy who is worthy of you.â
âI do not like you.â
Shen Zhuhang stopped speaking.
In fact, a boy like Shen Zhuhang was also a very simple character to understand.
The more he wasnât able to get something, the more he wanted it. In particular, Mu Qingxin was very good in her own right. She was still the school flower when she arrived at Jiahua International School. With more boys getting interested in her, Shen Zhuhang was getting even more nervous by the minute.
He was obviously her fiancé, but he was extremely insecure and could only try to change his relationship with Mu Qingxin.
However, it was also obvious that Mu Qingxin didnât want to be close to him.
Shen Zhuhang was very disappointed and he left the music classroom.
Mu Qingxin started to play the piano again, but the sound of the piano was not as good as it was before.
Tong Yan really couldnât listen to it anymore. His temples twitched to the melody of the music, so he could only stand up and walk over. He stood beside the piano and looked at Mu Qingxin.
Mu Qingxin looked up at him and stopped playing.
Tong Yan said in a low voice, âPianos are meant for playing, not for smashing.â
Mu Qingxin was a little surprised and she asked, âWhen were you here?â
âVery early onâ¦the music teacher told me to prepare for a competition.â
âHe called me too.â
Tong Yan looked at the door and was sure that Shen Zhuhang had left before asking Mu Qingxin with interest, âThen just fall out of the marriage. You donât have to care about reputations, right? This is a lifelong event!â
âThere are benefits that we can gain from marriage. If my fatherâs company does not have their familyâs support, it might go bankrupt.â
âOh, thatâs really serious,â Tong Yan sighed after speaking, which made Mu Qingxin glare at him.
Tong Yan raised his eyebrows and said again, âThen just change your fiancé. Find someone whoâs a little more powerful than your family, for example⦠mine works as well.â
Mu Qingxin naturally knew about Tong Yanâs family background, but she denied it without hesitation, âI donât need your help.â
âThen who are you going to use; your childhood sweetheart? He might actually start to like you, so are you going to pull something that cruel against him? Whoâs to say that he wouldnât become like Shen Zhuhang after you two get together for too long? However, Iâm different; I donât like you, so we can cut off anytime without hurting anyoneâs feelings.â
Tong Yan actually knew about Mu Qingxinâs childhood sweetheart.
Mu Qingxin looked at Tong Yanâs eyes as she became more and more puzzled. She asked, âCould it be that you want to help me? Why do you want to help me? Didnât you hate me a lot or something?â
âIâm⦠living a boring life,â Tong Yan suddenly laughed. Sporting a sly smile, his eyes curved like two crescent moons.
Mu Qingxin was so surprised as her eyes were full of suspicion.
Tong Yan didnât wait for her to hesitate. He reached out and pulled her school uniform to get her to stand up. Then, he sat in front of the piano, placing his fingers on the keys and played the tune she just played.
Tong Yan gave the impression that he was a visually beautiful teenager that had a domineering aura. Hence, she never thought that him sitting in front of the piano would instantly change his style, adding a touch of a gentle and youthful vibe.
She saw that the sun had turned his hair flaxen as she properly looked at his pale cheeks and the flamboyant tattoos on his neck.
He lowered his eyes and played the piano earnestly. His fingers were quite long as well. Those hands could probably challenge the most difficult of pieces. With some form of practice, it probably could easily be done.
âYouâre going to pretend to be my boyfriend?â Mu Qingxin asked him.
Tong Yan stopped playing the piano and looked up at her, âBut you are not allowed to take advantage of me.â
Mu Qingxin was instantly amused.
Think less of that, brother.
