Lu Zhi noticed her surprised expression and asked, “Why? You won’t even buy me a meal at a roadside stall?”
Jiang Yining heard the teasing in his tone and snorted lightly. “Of course, I will. But I’m just worried that an honorable CEO like you won’t dare to eat at a roadside stall with me.”
“I’ve even eaten bugs when I went to boot camp. What’s the big deal about roadside stalls?” Lu Zhi replied calmly.
Jiang Yining shifted in her seat, still in disbelief.
She had met many noble young masters, and no matter how easy-going and down-to-earth they were, they could not stand eating a roadside stall.
She still remembered how she was accidentally caught by Gu Zhanqing when she went to a roadside stall for skewers with her high school friends.
Disgusted, he ordered his men to throw all their food into a trash can.
When she got home, he asked the servants to bathe her a few times to make sure that she was not stained with anything dirty. He then ordered her repeatedly to never go to those unsanitary restaurants again.
Lu Zhi was born into a wealthy family.
His one meal could easily cost more than 100,000 yuan. He was probably the same type of person as Gu Zhanqing.
He was probably too embarrassed to tell her the truth.
Jiang Yining understood that men cared about their pride, so she didn’t expose him.
After dinner, the two of them went home.
As soon as they entered the living room, Jiang Yining noticed a grand piano in a corner of the living room.
She could immediately tell that it was a Steinway, made by the American company Steinway and Sons. Everything they produced was top-notch and very expensive.
No one at home liked to play the piano, so why did he suddenly buy one?
Jiang Yining looked at the person beside her in confusion.
Lu Zhi took off his suit jacket and walked up to the piano. He opened the lid and struck a few random keys. “Come and try it out.”
“Did you buy this for me?”
“No,” denied Lu Zhi.
Jiang Yining answered with a brief “okay” and didn’t ask further.
Curiosity killed the cat.
She never asked too many questions about other people’s matters.
She sat on the stool and played the piano.
Beautiful music flowed from her fingertips.
Lu Zhi leaned against the piano, his dark eyes fixed on her beautiful profile.
After her last note fell, she said, “This is a pretty good piano.”
“Yes.”
Lu Zhi walked to her left and sat down. “Let’s play a duet.”
Jiang Yining was a little surprised.
He knew how to play the piano? Why didn’t he mention it?
Without waiting for her to regain her senses, Lu Zhi started to play “Clear Spring”.
Jiang Yining’s eyes widened. He had only heard this song once, and he could already play it by ear?
Even she couldn’t do that!
Despite her shock, her fingers could not help but dance along with his rhythm.
The two of them had never practiced together before, but their duet was flawless!
Sounds of the piano echoed in the quiet villa.
When the song ended, Jiang Yining finally asked, “Lu Zhi, have you practiced the song ‘Clear Spring’ before?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“How is that possible? You must have secretly practiced it. Otherwise, you’re a musical genius!” He’d be a genius among geniuses!
Lu Zhi smiled. “I just have a photographic memory. My mother forced me to learn the piano when I was young. I can’t compare to you professionals.”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
If Elder Liang was still alive, he would be crying and begging Lu Zhi to be his disciple.
Sigh, she was a little regretful now for giving the score of “Clear Spring” to Xiao
Lang.
She didn’t know if he would be willing to return it if she asked for it back..
