"Don't worry, my skin is thicker than a wall, I won't lose a single bit."
Upon hearing this, Hengqian became even more certain that Mu Yiran was putting on an act.
but....
Shi Youxi seems to have a very good relationship with this nanny...
Is that why this maid dares to be so arrogant?
They really know how to do things.
Mu Yiran stretched out her ten fingers. She didn't know if the original owner of this body could play the piano, but she had a high talent for art since childhood, so her interests naturally extended beyond just clothing and jewelry design.
It has been almost a year since she last played the piano, and I hope I won't be too rusty.
The girl's slender, soft fingers fell, dancing powerfully on the black and white keys. Although it was the same song on the G string, they were vastly different.
Musk held his fist to his mouth, looking excited and undisguisedly amazed as he gazed at Mu Yiran.
This was a version he had never heard before, highly personal, yet it fully preserved the essence of the melody and combined it perfectly.
In contrast, Hengqian completely abandoned the essence of melody when she played, and only knew how to show off her skills.
Hengqian realized this too, and she couldn't help but move closer to the piano, trying to find traces of Mu Yiran's fake playing. This action was utterly foolish in Musk's eyes.
Hengqian: "How could this be... How is this possible?"
She's just a lowly maid, how could she possibly have such amazing piano skills!
Shi Youxi, who was closest to Mu Yiran, stared intently at the girl's beautiful profile. The girl would occasionally wink at him between playing her instrument.
See that?
You can't imagine how strong my sister is!
Not long after the performance began, Shi Youxi knew that Mu Yiran's strength absolutely overwhelmed Heng Qian's. The girl's demeanor was relaxed, yet she miraculously immersed everyone around her in the world she created through her performance.
Shi Youxi had never seen Mu Yiran like this before.
Or perhaps, the girl never hid her light, but Shi Youxi didn't notice.
But....
It's too dazzling.
Shi Youxi's expression hardened. He turned his head slightly and glanced at the three people standing beside him, stunned and speechless.
Whether it's Musk, whose eyes are full of amazement, or Hengqian, whose eyes are so complex it seems like there's a statistical chart in them.
And finally, Guan Shiyan, holding two strings of tornado potatoes with sparkling eyes.
Shi Youxi frowned deeply, turned his body to the side, completely blocking Mu Yiran's small body, but the performance was not over yet, and everyone's eyes were still focused on the girl playing the piano.
So annoying.
I should have been the first and only person to see my sister play the piano.
Why should others be allowed to steal the light that belongs exclusively to him?
It's all because of that Hengqian...
After Mu Yiran found her rhythm, she played with increasing ease. Skilled players usually keep a low profile, so she planned to stop after playing for a while.
Just as Mu Yiran was about to finish with a noble yet elegant, pretentious yet understated gesture, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, covered her hand, and pressed down hard on her.
"Thump!"
Mu Yiran: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"Alright."
Shi Youxi grabbed Mu Yiran and forcibly pulled her up, saying, "Sister, just play a little bit, there's no need to waste time."
Shi Youxi stopped in front of Heng Qian, whose face was pale. Although he was slightly shorter than Heng Qian, his imposing aura made Heng Qian unable to lift her head.
"Apologize."
Heng Qian: "......."
Hengqian bit her lip hard, her face flushed with embarrassment. She had no choice but to apologize, but she was unwilling to do so.
So what if she plays well? She's just a maid.
Moreover, playing well this time doesn't prove anything. Maybe... it was just good luck. If Mu Yiran is really that strong, then why has she never seen her in any competition?
That's right, she was just lucky.
Thinking of this, Hengqian felt a little more confident and kept her mouth shut even tighter.
Shi Youxi noticed the slight change in her expression and had already anticipated this situation. It didn't matter; since she was unwilling to apologize now, he would find another way to force her to apologize.
Mu Yiran saw that Hengqian was so embarrassed and distressed that tears were welling up in her eyes, and she couldn't bear it, so she patted Hengqian's shoulder generously.
"Don't cry, I'm not that abnormal. You don't need to kneel down, just say sorry."
Heng Qian: "..."
What's abnormal?
How dare this lowly maid call her sick?!
Hengqian angrily slapped her hand away and screamed, "You wish—"
"Aria!"
Musk finally stopped pretending to be silent and warned Heng Qian in a deep voice that he had come to a new understanding of Heng Qian today, both in terms of her piano skills and her personality.
"Mr. Musk, do you also think I should apologize?"
Heng Qian finally burst into tears, feeling wronged. She hadn't expected that even Musk was protecting Mu Yiran; they had all been deceived by this despicable woman!
“Aria, you should keep your word. Isn’t that what Mr. Ace taught you?”
Musk is a straightforward and outspoken person, and at this moment, Heng Qian's every word and action seemed petty to him.
Hengqian was also considered his student, which Musk found incredibly embarrassing.
Musk brought up his father, and Hengqian finally apologized reluctantly, her tears ruining her carefully applied makeup.
Musk looked at Heng Qian, who was sobbing, and rubbed his temples helplessly. He glanced at Mu Yiran, then at Shi Youxi, who had remained silent. He pulled a business card from his pocket. "You are Mr. Shi Yan's son, Shi You..."
“Xi.” Guan Shiyan peeked out from behind Musk, his tone tinged with an unintentional boast.
"Oh, Shi Youxi, it's too late today. I'll come and guide you another time."
Shi Youxi glanced at the business card, which only contained a simple name and personal contact information.
"I hope this young lady will come along too. I'd like to hear you play more." Musk was about to hand Mu Yiran his business card, but Shi Youxi took it.
The boy turned the business card around and handed it back, saying, "I'm busy, sister."
Musk: "...No time? Isn't this lady your nanny?"
Mu Yiran nodded in response, "Yes." Then she patted Shi Youxi on the shoulder, "My arm is tired, don't hold my hand."
The boy silently released her right hand, then naturally massaged the girl's wrist bone. He then took out a handkerchief to wipe the thin layer of sweat from Mu Yiran's palm, tidied it up haphazardly, and finally took the girl's right hand again.
"I have to serve the young master around the clock. Nothing is more important than serving him. I'm really busy, so I can't lend him out for the time being."
Musk: "?"
Who serves whom?
Although the musician seemed quite wealthy, the amount he offered was probably less than what the Shi family offered, so Mu Yiran had no intention of earning extra money for the time being.
Musk listened silently to Mu Yiran's answer, watching as Shi Youxi took a string of tornado potatoes from Guan Shiyan and fed them to the girl.
Musk: "......"
So who's really busy?
"fine."
Musk sighed and glanced at Mu Yiran with regret.
Anyway, as long as Mu Yiran is by Shi Youxi's side, there will always be opportunities.
"I'll be going now, see you again sometime."
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Musk." Mu Yiran waved goodbye to the man as he left.
Seeing Musk leave, Hengqian felt utterly humiliated and tried to run away herself.
"Oh, wait a minute, classmate." Mu Yiran slightly blocked the tornado potato that was being offered to her mouth and caught up with Heng Qian.
Heng Qian: "What else do you want to do! Even if you regret it now and want to kneel down and beg me, it's too late! I won't let you go!"
"You've misunderstood, classmate."
Mu Yiran approached the girl with a mysterious look on her face, her tone filled with an intense desire to explore, as if she had discovered a mysterious treasure.
"Excuse me..."
"Excuse me, what brands are your foundation and mascara?"
"I need to avoid this site, thank you."
I'll also send Mo Mumu a dream so she can avoid this pitfall too.
Heng Qian: "............"
Aaaaaaah!
Fuck you &%*%%
