Their conversation wasn’t loud, but their expressions and reactions were clear to others.

Not long ago, the heiress of the Shao family had just disdainfully rejected the electronic piano, but now, the little heiress of the Qin family, whose background was even better than the Shao family’s, didn’t mind at all. This obvious contrast instantly aroused unusual emotions among the surrounding people.

Qin Sui’an sat in front of the electronic piano, her two small hands placed obediently on the keys. After a few seconds of careful consideration, she began to play a piano piece.

Beautiful piano music emanated from the lounge, with the melody slowly rising, irresistibly immersing people in a sense of lightness and joy. This piece, "Chijiro’s Summer," had been played by Gu Maowen on stage, but Qin Sui’an’s rendition, with her childlike mindset, brought a cheerful and lively sense of pleasure.

As the piano piece ended, the onlookers reacted first, applauding warmly and excitedly:

"Wow, was that really played by that little kid?"

"I feel purified in my soul!"

"It’s like two different emotions compared to Mr. Gu’s performance!"

"She plays so well! It makes me inexplicably happy!"

"No wonder Mr. Gu chose the little kid instead of the Shao family heiress earlier."

"No pain, no gain..."

These remarks entered Shao Xinxin’s ears one by one, and her expression instantly became very unpleasant.

Gu Maowen strode over to little one and couldn’t help but praise, "Ann, you played so well! Where did you learn this piece from?"

"Grandpa Gu forgot?" Qin Sui’an tilted her little face up, her round eyes sparkling as she happily replied in her childish voice, "Just now, Grandpa Gu played it on stage, and Ann liked it!"

Gu Maowen was stunned. "I played it, and you learned it just by listening?"

"Well... I’m still not very good at it," Qin Sui’an remembered the notes and also where Grandpa Gu’s fingers moved on the piano keys while playing.

This was the first time she had played this piece, so she felt that she still wasn’t very good at it.

Gu Maowen opened his mouth in surprise.

Indeed, talent wasn’t something everyone possessed.

He looked down at his own hands. He had long, slender hands that could effortlessly span ten degrees, a talent that had allowed him to come this far on the piano. As for little one, now just three and a half years old, even though her hands were small, her sense of hearing, musicality, and memory were almost unmatched.

This couldn’t just be called talent; it was even more impressive than talent. It was as if heaven had stacked all the advantages on her, giving her all of its favor.

Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes in confusion when Gu Maowen suddenly fell silent. "Grandpa Gu, did Ann play badly?"

"No! You played so well!" Gu Maowen immediately snapped out of his trance. Then, as if worried that little one might refuse, he lowered his voice and asked nervously, "Ann, do you want to learn piano? Can I be your piano teacher?"

Qin Sui’an pursed her lips and glanced towards her grandparents. Gu Maowen spoke softly, "You can take your time to think about it, no rush, okay?"

"Then, Ann will answer Grandpa Gu later." Qin Sui’an trotted over to her grandparents.

Old Master Qin squatted down and gently hugged her small body. He thought she would agree directly because she did indeed love the piano. Curiously, he asked, "Ann, don’t you want to learn?"

Qin Sui’an shook her little head, her brows furrowing with hesitation. "Grandpa, Ann wants to call Daddy~" She couldn’t make up her mind and wanted to consult her father.

Old Madam Qin smiled and took out her phone, dialing Qin Haochen’s number for her and handing her the phone. "Ann, here you go."

"Thank you, Grandma~" Qin Sui’an reached out, holding the phone, her tiny body leaning against Grandpa’s embrace as she patiently waited for her father to answer the call.

Seeing Gu Maowen’s distracted and anxious expression, Ji Yi hurried over and comforted him softly, "Don’t worry, Ann is still young. If she doesn’t want to learn, don’t pressure her too much." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I know," Gu Maowen said, but his anxiety grew with each passing second, fearing that little one might not want to learn the piano. He had never been so eager to take on a disciple, especially one as young as three and a half years old.

Ji Yi watched Gu Maowen with extreme envy. Alas, he had met little one too late, and little one already had a chess master to teach her. Otherwise, he could also try to persuade her to become his disciple.

After a while, the ringing in the phone’s receiver was finally answered.

Thinking it was his mother, Qin Haochen was about to call out when he heard the soft and cute voice of little one coming from the phone: "Daddy~~~"

In an instant, Qin Haochen softened, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Ann, did you finish watching the concert?"

"Yes~" Qin Sui’an happily curved her round eyes. "Daddy, Ann saw Grandpa Gu playing the piano very well!"

Qin Haochen had looked into Gu Maowen’s background and listened carefully to little one’s words, infected by her joyful mood, the smile on his lips deepening gradually.

After chatting for a while, Qin Sui’an said seriously, "Daddy, Ann has something to ask you."

Qin Haochen’s expression became serious, "What’s wrong? Ann, go ahead, Daddy is listening."

"Can Ann learn piano from Grandpa Gu?" her childish voice became much softer.

Qin Haochen breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, "Of course you can. Whatever Ann wants to do, whatever she wants to learn, Daddy will support you."

Qin Sui’an then whispered, "Grandpa Gu is very talented. Learning piano from him might be expensive, and Ann’s prize money may not be enough."

Qin Haochen was taken aback for a moment, realizing her concern. He couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, Ann. Daddy has money."

Knowing that little one was concerned about his hard work, he thought for a moment and added, "Ann, if you learn piano well, you can also participate in piano competitions, just like chess competitions, and there are prizes for those too."

Qin Sui’an’s big round eyes instantly lit up.

Qin Haochen patiently continued, "If you don’t want to use Daddy’s money, you can wait until you win a competition and have prize money, then you can give the money back to Daddy. How about that?"

Qin Sui’an nodded eagerly, "Okay~!"

Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin glanced at each other silently. They didn’t hear what their son Qin Haochen said to little one, but they knew that little one had agreed to learn piano.

After ending the call with her father, Qin Sui’an handed the phone back to her grandmother, then came to Grandpa Gu’s side, her cute childish voice full of joy, "Grandpa Gu~ Ann wants to learn piano from you~"
