She usually doesn't like sports very much, so the movements she can do are limited to the few routines that Jiang Muxue's girl learned in kindergarten, although it is simple to do and looks a little awkward, but it can only be settled.

At this time, she couldn't let the Lan family hire a fitness coach for her.

After less than five minutes of exercise, I heard a noise at the door.

"Ding Dong, you put it first, I'll eat it after I'm done exercising." Chu Ning continued to do the so-called 'fitness' movements, but she didn't hear Dingdong's answer, she directly ignored Dingdong's 'abnormality', and after changing a few movements by herself, she stopped satisfied.

"Ding Dong--" Chu Ning looked at the dining table with her spare eyes, but she didn't see breakfast, so she subconsciously looked towards the door.

It didn't matter if it didn't matter, there were many people standing at the door, led by an old man with a long beard with a gray scalp, his eyes were like torches, and he was not angry and arrogant, but at this moment, like the people behind him, his eyes widened and he looked at her curiously.

Chu Ning doesn't care how others watch, she has been performing almost every day in the past few years, and no matter how much she looks and gazes, she can do it without changing her face and deal with it freely.

"This grandfather, do you have something to do with me?"

"You are so bold, you don't kneel when you see the patriarch!" An older man behind the old man pointed at her and scolded her in Italian.

"Patriarch? Where are you the patriarch? Chu Ning's heart suddenly understood, but he still asked the elder who spoke just now in Italian without changing his face.

"Presumptuous!"

"You guys stand down first, no one is allowed to approach without my instructions, including Xiao Shi." After the old man gave instructions to the people around him, he entered the house alone, and the door closed automatically behind him.

"Little girl, don't pretend, you must have already guessed my identity." The old patriarch sat down at the table with his own thoughts, and then said to Chu Ning in fairly standard Chinese.

"No, I didn't guess, and besides, I'm not a little girl anymore." Chu Ning pretended not to know, and then corrected the old man's words.

"Cool-headed, calm-hearted, compared to back then, you are indeed like a rebirth. It seems that in the past ten years, Xiao Shi has really good intentions for you. ”

"Little Ten? Who is this patriarch? ”

"Xiao Shi, it is Ah Xuan, and he is also the heir of the Lan family and the future patriarch."

"So, you are the patriarch of the Lan family?"

"You're kind of calm, and I'm just asking about this now." The old man pinched his beard and said.

"Patriarch, hasn't Ah Xuan come back for the past two days? I feel like I haven't seen him in a long time. The identity has been revealed, and Chu Ning has to stand respectfully in front of the old patriarch.

"Do you miss our little ten?" The patriarch was also in high spirits.

"Of course, he's a good friend of mine!"

"You can practice." The old patriarch's face sank again.

"But I can't open my mouth, and I don't know how long you're going to lock me up, so I'll have to find someone I know to talk to."

"Interesting, since you don't even know how long I've been holding you, why don't you panic?"

"There is food and drink, why should I panic?"

"Aren't you afraid that if I am unhappy, I will let you disappear into this ancient castle?"

"I'm afraid! But I am even more afraid of living forever in the darkness of this castle. ”

"Presumptuous, I originally said that you girl is very interesting, who knew that she had no eyesight." The old patriarch's face turned pale, and his beard stood up in anger.

"I'm telling the truth, don't you like me to tell lies, patriarch?" Chu Ning muttered.

"Humph!" The patriarch snorted coldly at Chu Ning, and then stopped talking, and there was a hint of solemnity in the air.

Chu Ning saw that the old patriarch seemed to be angered by her, so he also became well-behaved and stopped making a sound.

"I ask you, why did you go back to China?" After a while, the patriarch held back his anger and asked Chu Ning.

"Because China is my hometown, and there are my parents and friends there, I miss them, so I'm going back." Chu Ning became well-behaved this time and replied decently.

"Not just for the kid surnamed Lin?"

"For him, of course, because he is my lover."

"Lover? That person doesn't deserve you right now. The old patriarch waved his hand.

"He is the most important person to me and the person who loves me the most, so there is no such thing as being worthy or unworthy."

"Humph! In this world, there is no one who loves you more than Xiao Shi. ”

"Patriarch, I know Ah Xuan's true feelings for me, but my heart already belongs, so for Ah Xuan, there is only apology and gratitude, but--" But you shouldn't have used such means to kidnap me back to the castle, which clearly makes Ah Xuan embarrassed.

It's just that Chu Ning didn't dare to say these words, she was afraid of angering the old patriarch in front of her, who was already very forbearing, and then really let her disappear in this ancient castle, then she would never be able to return to China.

"Sorry, grateful? Girl, in your Chinese words, people can be cold and ruthless, but they can't be ungrateful. ”

"Patriarch, I am very grateful to Ah Xuan for his affection and dedication to me, but the relationship is to be happy with each other, your little ten and I can be best friends, but it will definitely not be love, you can't force me to marry him! Otherwise, we wouldn't be happy living together. Chu Ning tried to convince the old patriarch.

"Hmph, Xiao Shi has spent almost ten years cultivating you into a world-renowned performer, making you famous all over the world at a young age, and letting the Lan family see your extraordinary and ability, but you have to understand that all your glory now is inseparable from Xiao Shi, without him, you would not have your current worth and status, you are at most an ordinary performer in the Roman Opera House. But you apologized and grateful, then shook your hand and followed the kid surnamed Lin to leave Rome. ”

"Patriarch, I don't understand very well, can you explain it to me?" Chu Ning listened to the words of the old patriarch, and felt a little foggy.

"I think Xiao Shi didn't say this to you, or he didn't want to say it, I said it for him, and it was the only thing I could do for him." The old patriarch motioned for Chu Ning to sit down on the opposite side of the dining table, and then spoke eloquently.

"Do you think that in the past five years, plus the five years you have been in Jiangcheng, with your personal strength, after participating in a few large and small concerts, you will be able to make a few lives? Do you think that just by virtue of you and your teacher who has been absent from Rome for many years, and the city of Veille, you will be able to gain a foothold in this city of Rome, which is unfamiliar with the place and where there are many musical talents? Do you think that without the support of Ah Xuan, you can go from a small substitute player to a world-famous performer in Rome's most famous opera house?

Wrong, if there is no Lan family, no --, should be said, if there is no Xiao Shi behind your back, even if you have a talent, it will be in vain. ”

"Patriarch, isn't my achievement the result of my hard work? Why is it related to Ah Xuan, please explain it clearly. Chu Ning felt her head explode on the ground, and then all her calmness and composure collapsed instantly, she got up nervously, came to the old patriarch and squatted down, and then looked up at the old patriarch, "Patriarch, please tell me, what is going on?" ”

"Xiao Shi graduated so long back then, and he still stayed in Jiangcheng and refused to return to Rome because he had been fighting against me. He said that he wants to accompany you to raise you to be the best woman, and then you can be worthy of the Lan family; He stood guard at the door of that orphanage every day, waiting for you to appear; He gives you the opportunity to put on a show, but he never shows up; In order to take a look at you, he rushed to Wuyang in a daze, but was hit by a car beyond recognition. The first thing I did when I woke up, knowing that you were in the midst of an accident, was to stubbornly rush from South Korea to China and to Y City, regardless of the degree of recovery, and quietly guard you by the river in front of your house every day. In the eyes of the old patriarch, a trace of tenderness unconsciously swelled up.

"No, I don't believe it, why didn't Ah Xuan tell me this." Chu Ning turned his back, hid the mist that had already unconsciously climbed up his face, and shook his head incredulously.

"Humph! If he had been willing to say it, he would have told you a long time ago, this is the so-called love of your young people, and it is extremely ignorant. I'm just talking about the first five years, so I'll talk about the five years after you came to Rome, do you know that when you sleep soundly every day, do you know what he's doing? He was busy with the work that fell during the day, he was busy until late at night to fall asleep, and the next day he appeared by your side with a cheeky face, and was disgusted and ignored by you. In the past ten years, he has been doing this for you, always silently by your side, silently doing everything for you, and silently helping you grow, but he didn't even plan to let you know about his identity in China, but what you did for him, you always treated him coldly, as if you were leaving. ”

"I don't, I have always had only one attitude towards Ah Xuan." Chu Ning clutched her throbbing heart and couldn't cry, but she could only plead weakly, "If I knew that he would do so much for me quietly, I would rather leave quietly and find a place to fend for myself." ”

That day, Ah Hyun talked to her so much, but when he mentioned his dedication to her, he only mentioned one sentence.

Is it any wonder that in the past five years, he has always had nothing to do, and no wonder that every time she is most helpless, he will be the first to appear by her side? Because for the next five years, he lived almost for her.

It turns out that in this mortal world, the people who love her more than everything exist in addition to her Yu Han and her brother Yu Hao. Silently, without asking for anything!

It turns out that in this world, there is another kind of love, and that is--

--He lives for her, but he doesn't need her to know!

"It's not too late to know now, why don't I pick an auspicious day now, and you just wait to marry Xiao Shi! When you get married, I will send someone to China to pick up your parents, so that your family can be reunited. The old patriarch was very satisfied with Chu Ning's performance, it seemed that he had succeeded as a lobbyist, and next, he waited for her and his little ten to enter the palace of marriage.
