All along, she thought she was a person with backbone.

But only now did she realize that how much was the backbone worth?

Standing at the gate of Huai's house, there was the sound of the elegant piano song "Canon" inside.

Qin Yilai rang the doorbell outside the iron gate, and the maid inside opened the door for her remotely from the inside.

Strangely, this time the doorman did not stop her, but smiled respectfully at her.

This maid she knew, it was Arlene.

"It turned out to be Miss Qin, please come in. Arlene has always been respectful and always has a standard smile on her face.

As soon as he entered, Qin Yilai's expectant eyes searched around for Huai Bao'er's figure.

But until I entered the hall of the Huai Mansion Villa, I still didn't see Huai Bao'er, even though I was very anxious, I still tried my best to show a natural look and asked, "By the way, what about Bao'er?"

Arlene replied with a smile: "The little young master was sent to the Huai family's old house by Mr. Huai this afternoon, and it is estimated that he will come back in a few days." ”

The piano music upstairs is still playing, from "Canon" to "Moonlight Variations", Qin Yilai has been learning music since he was a child, and he has also studied piano for several years.

Hearing the familiar sound of the piano, my fingers were also gently rhythmic with the sound of the piano.

Arlene saw the subtle movements of her hands, so she smiled and said, "Mr. Huai usually plays the piano occasionally when he is free, and those of us who are servants just enjoy some ear blessings." ”

After Qin Yilai heard Arlene say this, the expression on his face couldn't help but show a little surprise, "He, can he play the piano?"

In her impression, she always thought that a man like Huai Jin Nan, who was impatient and resolute in everything and everything, would not have the leisure to play soothing piano music.

"Absolutely. ”

Arlene nodded as she could, and when she mentioned Huai Jin Nan, she couldn't help but have a touch of admiration on her face, "It is said that Mr. Huai has liked music since he was a child, and it was only later that he was forced by Elder Liang to learn business." ”

Speaking of this, Arlene's expression darkened a little, but then she pulled out a smile: "Since Miss Qin is here to find Mr. Huai, then you go upstairs by yourself, there should be no problem." ”

"Well, no problem. ”

Qin Yilai smiled and nodded, and after Arlene left, she walked into a room in the direction of the sound of the piano.

It was empty, with several musical instruments on the shelves.

Saxophone, violin, guitar, ukulele......

A pure white piano was placed in the center of the room, and she could clearly see the silhouette of Huai Jin Nan.

He looked intently at the score, his long knuckled fingers on the black and white keys to play melodious piano music.

There is no usual violence and indifference, but it highlights his unique noble temperament.

This angular face, handsome and dusty, made her want to look at it twice.

It's just that this tranquility didn't last long, and after the last ending note of "Moonlight Variations" fell, Huai Jin Nan's ten fingers pressed different keys to make a mixed muffled sound.

A pair of indifferent pupils looked at her coldly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a disdainful smile, "You really came." ”

There were a few points of ridicule in his eyes, but his clearly relaxed expression made Qin Yilai feel inexplicably depressed.

Maybe her thoughts were still in the soothing and beautiful sound of the piano just now, she didn't have any disgust with Huai Jin Nan, so she walked over directly, picked up the sheet music and flipped through it.

Each page on it has been marked with a pen by Huai Jin Nan, but judging by the novelty of the book, it seems that he has been using it for a long time, and most of it is Chopin's repertoire.

"You seem to like Chopin?" she tilted her head to look at him.

Huai Jin Nan didn't deny it, but replied lightly, "I just thought it sounded good, so I played it." ”

"Chopin and Beethoven have been playing their pieces since I was twelve years old. Qin Yilai put the score back.

Huai Jin Nan heard her words, his expression remained unchanged, and after closing the piano cover, he heard her ask again: "How many years did it take you to learn the piano?"

"Three years. ”

He replied lightly.

Being able to practice the piano to the current level in three years shows that Huai Jin Nan's learning ability is indeed much better than that of ordinary people.

I hadn't touched the piano for a long time, and when she saw the piano in front of her, Qin Yilai suddenly felt itchy hands, she opened the piano cover without Huai Jin Nan's permission, and pressed the white keys with one hand to make a crisp sound.

"Can I try it?" she asked.

Huai Jin Nan frowned, gave her a place, and said with a slight disdain: "Are you sure you will?"

After Qin Yilai sat down, he didn't even look at the score, put his hands on the keys, and a tactful and cheerful piano dance music came easily.

The hand speed is sometimes faster, sometimes it is slow.

Huai Jin Nan watched her slender and white fingers skillfully play on the black and white keys.

After a while, the piano stopped.

He leaned over the piano and raised his eyebrows at her with a slight smile, "'Magnificent Waltz', played well." ”

This time his praise was still reluctant, but it was much more sincere than the previous ones, at least this time he didn't taunt.

After finishing his addiction, Qin Yilai closed the lid of the piano, got up and turned his head to look at Huai Jin Nan, and the corners of his mouth hooked an upward arc: "It's rare to get your praise from your brother-in-law, it's really not easy." ”

Huai Jin Nan only tilted his head to the other side, and sneered coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not praising you!"

Qin Yilai didn't bother to bother with this man about this matter.

Huai Jin Nan suddenly took out a card and threw it on Qin Yilai's body, she took the bank card, looked left and right, her brain suddenly twitched, and she suddenly said: "Why are you giving me this?"

The moment he said this, Qin Yilai began to regret it, but unfortunately it was too late to take it back, so he heard Huai Jin Nan say mockingly: "This is the reward you want, why? I don't remember it so soon?"

He was close to her, and the distance of height opened a clear gap between her and him.

Suddenly, he let out a sneering sneer, with mockery in his eyes: "The former Miss Qin family, now she comes out to sell herself, and the price of three million is indeed very cheap." ”

He quickly lowered his head again, leaned into her ear, and did not hide the irony in it, and his breath was charming: "It's just that in my opinion, you just let me play to death, it's not worth a piece." ”

This man has always looked down on her so much.

Even though she had known this was the case, hearing him say it still made her heart sour.

But there was always a thought in her heart, that is, she must not let Huai Jin Nan see her vulnerability! She looked up at him fearlessly, and put the card that Huai Jin Nan gave herself generously into her pocket.
