Chapter 109 You want me to teach you?
"Clang clang clang"
Beautiful piano music drifted from the piano room on the third floor, growing louder as it approached. The serene tone made one feel as if they were in a cloud of mist, like heavenly music.
Inside the greyish-white practice room, the black grand piano flows smoothly from the player's fingertips, like cool spring water seeping into one's heart and soul.
This black grand piano has always been placed in Danyuan. It was bought by the man himself when he was in college, and it has been repaired and maintained to look brand new.
The man originally planned to buy a new piano for the children to practice on at Jinshan Villa, but somehow she found out that there was a half-new piano in Danyuan and absolutely refused to let him buy a new one, saying it was a waste of money.
Thinking that the little boy was already thinking about saving money for his future wife at such a young age, he agreed and moved the piano from Danyuan to the newly renovated music room on the third floor.
The man's slender fingertips pressed the last piano key, and the beautiful melody lingered in the air for a long time before gradually subsiding, dissipating like a receding tide.
"Tap tap tap"
Gu Zhaodi looked at the man with her bright, sparkling eyes, her face full of admiration, clapping her hands incessantly to applaud his performance.
With a slight smile, Dan Anwen stood up and said to the girl, "You're just starting out, so I'll guide you through it first. If you like it, I'll hire a teacher for you later."
Without even thinking, Gu Zhaodi blurted out, "Uncle Dan, can't you teach me?"
Dan Anwen lowered his gaze, a starlight gleaming in his eyes. His voice was deep and resonant, with a low, magnetic quality, "You want me to teach you?"
"Is it not allowed?"
The girl clearly didn't sense the ambiguous tone in the man's voice.
Dan Anwen felt helpless; it seemed the child was still a clueless kid.
He walked up to the girl, bowed slightly, and gently stroked her soft hair with his large, warm hand. "Of course, but I'm afraid I don't have that much time. Please teach you more comprehensively and systematically."
Gu Zhaodi then remembered that she was on summer vacation, but Uncle Dan was a very busy man, and his company still had to operate normally during the summer vacation.
"Then you should ask a teacher. I don't want you to be so tired," the girl said considerately. The man was already teaching her English after get off work. If he also taught her piano, wouldn't he have no time to rest?
The man's thin lips curved slightly, his cool eyes full of laughter, and he said in a joking tone, "Okay, I'll have Liu Lei invite a teacher over to teach you in a couple of days. You'd better study hard then, I'll check when I get home from get off work."
Unexpectedly, the girl was honest and nodded seriously, "Then we'll wait for Uncle Dan's examination."
The man didn't say much, but instead affectionately stroked the girl's pert nose with his slender, well-proportioned fingers.
For the next few weeks, Gu Zhaodi spent her time either studying in the study or practicing piano with her teacher in the music room. When she got bored, she would go to the man's company for a day.
The sun was blazing, and the scorching summer sun was blinding. In the afternoon, almost no one was walking outdoors in the business district; everyone was taking a lunch break in their offices.
In the top-floor office, a girl reclined on the sofa, fast asleep with a cushion in her arms. Her serene sleeping face was like that of an angel, and although it covered her bright eyes, it couldn't hide the stunning beauty on her delicate face.
Over the past two years, the girl has not only become more spoiled by Dan Anwen, but her porcelain-white skin is also a result of his pampering.
The man frowned and looked down at the documents on his desk. His tightly furrowed brows showed no sign of easing, and there was even a faint furrow between his smooth forehead from years of frowning.
After reading all the documents, he gently pressed his temples with his fingertips, which eased his throbbing head somewhat.
“Little…” Dan Anwen looked at the sleeping girl lying not far away with her phoenix eyes, swallowing the rest of her words deep in her throat.
A tall, imposing figure approached the girl, his smooth, powerful arms easily lifting her up. His muscles bulged beneath his suit trousers as he carefully carried her to the lounge with slow, deliberate steps.
Adjust the air conditioner temperature and cover her with a thin blanket.
Perhaps she was tired from watching TV all morning, because the girl was sleeping soundly and was not disturbed by the man's slight noises. She even started snoring softly.
He chuckled softly as he stood by the bed, the weariness in his eyes vanishing instantly, replaced by a heart full of doting affection.
He squatted down, his fair fingers gently stroking the girl's rosy cheeks. Her long, thick, curled eyelashes drooped slightly over her eyelids, like delicate little fans.
The smile that spread across the man's lips was like a surging, overwhelming tide.
As the girl's soft snoring subsided, he gave a fleeting, roguish smile, a mischievous thought creeping into his mind, and gently pinched the tip of her delicate nose.
A moment later, the girl's pretty face furrowed slightly, her slender wrists swatting away the man's large, unruly hands, and she let out a soft "hmm."
After the man removed his large hand from her nose, the girl turned over and fell asleep again.
Dan Anwen's mood inexplicably improved. He opened the door to the lounge, went out, and returned to his desk to work on the documents for the next few days.
Gu Zhaodi didn't sleep for very long, but when she groggily sat up in bed, she was still a little confused and couldn't figure out where she was for a while.
After sitting there for a full two minutes, the girl finally lifted the corner of the blanket and got out of bed.
Stepping out of the lounge, the office was completely empty.
She went to the bar and poured herself a glass of cold water, and the water finally jolted her throbbing head back to normal.
After pacing around the office a few times, she was so bored that she felt dizzy and weak after just waking up. She had no interest in studying at all.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to go out and explore the area outside the office. She had been to the Dan Group several times, but had never explored the area outside the president's office before.
"Miss Gu, where are you going?" Secretary Wang Li asked as soon as the girl stepped out of the office.
Before the president went to the meeting, he specifically instructed her to keep an eye on the situation in the lounge. When she went in to check a dozen minutes ago, the girl was still sleeping.
Gu Zhaodi recognized Wang Li in front of her. The last few times she came to the Dan Group to visit Uncle Dan, the food and drinks were all prepared by the woman in front of her.
Where is Uncle Dan?
In an unfamiliar environment, she felt insecure after just waking up, and her first reaction was to seek out familiar and close people.
With a professional smile on her face, Wang Li said in a gentle tone, "The president is in a meeting right now. Before he left, he told me that if you get bored, I can show you around the company."
Men's thoughts sometimes coincide with women's thoughts, and they can always anticipate her thoughts and arrange everything in advance.
The charm of a mature man lies in understanding your subtle thoughts without interfering, respecting your ideas, and protecting you.
Gu Zhaodi nodded obediently.
"Now I'll take you down for a tour," Wang Li said with a smile.
Regardless of the identity of the innocent and well-behaved girl in front of her, it was not within her consideration; all she needed to do was to perform her job well.
As the president's top secretary, although she is not as capable as Assistant Liu, she does not gossip about Miss Gu like the other secretaries in the secretarial office. Otherwise, the task of taking care of Miss Gu would not have fallen to her these past few times.
Moreover, there are only benefits and no drawbacks to being around this person who looks like he's being pampered and cherished by the CEO.
After several interactions with Miss Gu, she found her to be quite easygoing, and she understood better than the people in the secretary's office how much the obedient and gentle girl held in the president's heart.
What they had previously seen of the president's care for Miss Gu was merely the tip of the iceberg.
With that in mind, Wang Li led Gu Zhaodi down a few floors.
"This floor houses the creative department of the group's cultural industry," Wang Li explained as she led the girl out of the elevator.
Gu Zhaodi didn't quite understand which part of the entire Dan Group's creative department it was, since the Dan Group was involved in too many industries.
As the president's secretary, Wang Li was very familiar with the group's internal operations. Seeing the girl's bewildered expression, she smiled and explained, "Dan's Group..."
