At that time, she had just met Xu Yisen not long ago. When she heard that Xu Yisen would be performing at the concert held at school, she tried everything she could to attend the concert.
The private high school that Xu Yisen attended was the most prestigious in the city. The school only focused on quality, not quantity, in admissions. Therefore, all students who could enter this private school not only had a noble or governmental family background but also extraordinary talent.
Tickets for the school concert were only sold to the school staff and students, as well as their families and friends.
Qin Muni persuaded her father to use his connections to buy front-row tickets for the concert from a teacher who worked at the school at a high price.
There were a total of fifteen performances at the concert, with Xu Yisen being the grand finale.
At the time, he performed in a duet with a pretty girl. Qin Muni sat in the audience, feeling extremely envious of the girl having the honor to perform with Xu Yisen.
Xu Yisen sat gracefully at the piano, the spotlight shining down on him, his fingers dancing lightly over the black and white keys, pouring out the melodious tune through his fingertips.
Qin Muni sat dumbfounded in the audience, staring at the stage where Xu Yisen shone like a star, her love for him fermenting like flour, expanding ceaselessly.
At that moment, she made up her mind to study the violin diligently, hoping that one day she could be lucky enough to duet with Xu Yisen like that pretty girl.
Some things do yield rewards if you work hard enough.
However, in matters of the heart, it's not always the case.
So after years of hard work, she finally became good enough to duet with Xu Yisen, but still couldn't take a permanent place in his heart.
As the piece ended, Qin Muni withdrew her gaze from Xu Yisen and gently laid down the violin.
"Munni, your performance is getting more and more outstanding."
Qin Muni smiled gently, "Thank you." She then placed the violin back into the violin case.
Xu Yisen stood up from the chair, inserted one hand into his trouser pocket, and paced to stand behind Qin Muni.
He took a delicate jewelry box from his pocket, expertly opened it, and took out the diamond necklace inside.
As Qin Muni was lowering her head to put away the violin, she felt Xu Yisen's hand reach around her neck, and the next second, a cold sensation spread across her skin.
She was surprised and wanted to turn her head, but Xu Yisen, standing behind her, softly reminded, "Don't move."
After he had secured the necklace for Qin Muni, he gently turned her around, "I thought this necklace would definitely suit you when I saw it in the mall."
He lowered his eyes, staring at the necklace on Qin Muni's neck, and couldn't help but shift his gaze from the necklace to her alluringly defined collarbone.
Qin Muni seemed to feel his gaze growing hotter. She stepped past Xu Yisen and walked forward, teasing as she went, "Aren't you afraid I'll this necklace too?"
Xu Yisen followed behind her, and upon hearing her question, his thin lips curled up slightly, "Then let's see who's bold enough to accept your donation."
Qin Muni pouted, knowing well that Xu Yisen's words were true. After all, no one dared to rashly go against Fanshu Group, nor Xu Yisen, who was known for his merciless measures in the business world.
"Thank you for your gift. Maybe I can exchange it for some cash if I go bankrupt one day."
Her rather impolite thanks made Xu Yisen chuckle, recalling overhearing her conversation with Wu Yuchen outside the study room door earlier. Xu Yisen's gaze on her back became deep and inscrutable.
"Hmm?" Qin Muni paused her steps ahead and turned slightly to look at Xu Yisen, who suddenly called her seriously.
Xu Yisen walked forward two steps, closing the distance between them.
