Shen Zhuhang was silent for a while before answering, “No, I don’t want to cancel the engagement.”
Mu Qingxin couldn’t understand Shen Zhuhang so she asked in a tired way, “Why not?”
“I like you. I want to be with you and I hope you can accept me. I’m trying very hard to be a boy who is worthy of you.”
“I do not like you.”
Shen Zhuhang stopped speaking.
In fact, a boy like Shen Zhuhang was also a very simple character to understand.
The more he wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t 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, “Pianos are meant for playing, not for smashing.”
Mu Qingxin was a little surprised and she asked, “When were you here?”
“Very early on…the music teacher told me to prepare for a competition.”
“He called me too.”
Tong Yan looked at the door and was sure that Shen Zhuhang had left before asking Mu Qingxin with interest, “Then just fall out of the marriage. You don’t have to care about reputations, right? This is a lifelong event!”
“There are benefits that we can gain from marriage. If my father’s company does not have their family’s support, it might go bankrupt.”
“Oh, that’s really serious,” Tong Yan sighed after speaking, which made Mu Qingxin glare at him.
Tong Yan raised his eyebrows and said again, “Then just change your fiancé. Find someone who’s a little more powerful than your family, for example… mine works as well.“
Mu Qingxin naturally knew about Tong Yan’s family background, but she denied it without hesitation, “I don’t need your help.”
“Then 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? Who’s to say that he wouldn’t become like Shen Zhuhang after you two get together for too long? However, I’m different; I don’t like you, so we can cut off anytime without hurting anyone’s feelings.”
Tong Yan actually knew about Mu Qingxin’s childhood sweetheart.
Mu Qingxin looked at Tong Yan’s eyes as she became more and more puzzled. She asked, “Could it be that you want to help me? Why do you want to help me? Didn’t you hate me a lot or something?”
“I’m… living a boring life,” 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 didn’t 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.
“You’re going to pretend to be my boyfriend?” Mu Qingxin asked him.
Tong Yan stopped playing the piano and looked up at her, “But you are not allowed to take advantage of me.”
Mu Qingxin was instantly amused.
Think less of that, brother.
