Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

Her mental state was not good, and just coming to the party was a big step in her courage.

Ruan Xingchen had been paying attention to her the entire time. When he heard her voice, which was faintly filled with fear, he immediately stopped caring about anything else and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go get some rest?"

"I'm fine." Huo Xiaoning lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her little face turned pale.

Fragile and pitiful.

But she bit her lip tightly, pretending to be strong: "I, I'm fine... I can just rely on my sister-in-law."

"I'll take you to rest." Ruan Xingchen made a quick decision and nodded to the celebrities around him: "Sorry, Xiaoning doesn't feel well. We can chat with everyone another day when we have time."

Scheming!

Why didn’t I realize before that Huo Xiaoning, this coward, is actually so scheming!

The ladies gnashed their teeth in hatred, but put on a well-behaved, sensible and considerate smile on their faces, nodding one after another: "Mrs. Huo, let's talk again when we have time."

Huo Qianqian also hated having her attention stolen, but she was also happy to see the other celebrities being driven away. She rolled her eyes and simply followed them, deliberately lowering her head and saying, "Sister-in-law, I also want some quiet time... Can I stay with you for a while?"

Her look for this evening party was long hair that was permed slightly and let fall naturally.

When she lowered her head, her thick curly hair fell on her cheeks, blocking her expression, making her look aggrieved and depressed.

Thinking about how she had just been through so much and how she had been betrayed by her best friend, Ruan Xingchen took the initiative to hold her hand: "Okay."

Huo Qianqian's heart blossomed.

Huo Yuanzhou looked at his two sisters fighting openly and secretly, like the scene of concubines competing for favor, and his eyes darkened.

After finishing the wine in his glass, he curled his lips and said, "Boring."

Turn around and leave.

Looking at his back, Huo Jingxuan sneered: "Hypocrisy."

Time gradually came to ten o'clock in the evening. As the light music that had been playing around stopped, another highlight of the dinner began.

The old man who had gone to rest returned to the banquet and solemnly introduced the piano master Yu Wan who had returned with the gold medal on the stage.

Yu Wan was a woman under forty years old. Her face was not particularly outstanding, but she exuded the elegant and literary aura of an artist, which made people feel particularly comfortable and beautiful.

Even though she had just won a highly prestigious international gold award, she remained humble and calm. She simply said a few words, played a piece of music, and then left the stage.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone who came here got the news that she seemed to be interested in taking in disciples, and many interested celebrities took turns to go on stage to show off their piano skills.

Yu Wan listened patiently, smiling as he gave instructions one by one, for several times in a row, but he never revealed anything.

Although she has a gentle face and approachable demeanor, she is serious when commenting on piano.

When no one else came up to the stage, a soft and clear voice sounded: "I, I would also like to ask Master Yu Wan for guidance. I wonder if I have the honor to do so?"

Ruan Weisi, wearing a small dress and light makeup, looked like a fresh and elegant daffodil blooming by the water. She stood up with an innocent smile on her face and looked at Yu Wan with admiration.

Yu Wan smiled gently, raised her hand and said, "Of course."

Ruan Weisi has a pure and charming appearance. After dressing up, she looks even more like a beautiful girl from a small family, which is eye-catching.

As the heroine of the book, if she has any talent besides her predetermined fate, it is that she plays the piano very well.

Unfortunately, apart from being praised by Yu Wan at the dinner party and going abroad to study piano to avoid an engagement, she was more immersed in her love affair with Gu Zhao and did not make full use of her talents.

I have to say that playing the piano can easily increase one's charm.

Ruan Weisi, who was sitting in front of the piano, made people unconsciously look at her, and she seemed even more quiet and charming.

She knew this was a rare opportunity to show herself in high society, so she took a deep breath and played the first note.

Ruan Xingchen watched this scene in the plot coldly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, which turned into understanding after a moment.

In the plot, she refused to marry in place of Huo Yan. Ruan Weisi, who did not want to marry Huo Yan, was full of depression. She played "Tears" at the dinner party, which probably fit her mood perfectly and was particularly touching.

The book reported that many people were moved by her performance, and Master Yu Wan's eyes were filled with tears as he praised her spiritual piano music. Although he didn't accept her as a disciple, he also promised that her future achievements would be great. The Ruan family even took advantage of the opportunity to buy a lot of publicity, promoting her as a piano wizard online, which greatly increased Ruan Weisi's value.

This time, perhaps because she had lost her distress, she did not choose "Tears", but instead played the virtuosic "Islam".

"Islamy" is a virtuoso piece by Balakiev, ranking fifth in difficulty among piano pieces. It has a fast and high tempo, and the ending is a frenzied, intense and presto-esque piece, making it extremely difficult.

It can be seen that Ruan Weisi really worked hard on the piano and completed this piece at a very high level. When he played to the end, everyone who knows piano couldn't help but show some amazement.

Yu Wan's eyes were filled with relief, but not as excited as in the plot. She simply nodded and praised, "Your technique is very sophisticated. I can see the effort you put into it. Keep up this passion, and you will definitely become an outstanding pianist."

This was the best comment she had said tonight.

However, Ruan Weisi was not satisfied. He was smiling and expressing gratitude, but there was a sense of complacency in his eyes, but also a bit of dissatisfaction.

An excellent pianist?

How could she, a young lady from a wealthy family, become a worthless pianist? This was not what she wanted.

What she wants is higher evaluation, to raise her own value and become the object of everyone's pursuit.

There are so many pianists in the world that such comments are useless.

Yu Wan wanted to say something else, but when he met her gaze, he suddenly lost interest. He turned his head and asked with a smile, "Does anyone else want to play?"

She was mistaking her thinking. These pampered young ladies were more concerned with taking the next step and marrying someone they liked, rather than diligently practicing their skills and making progress in the piano field.

Hearing her question, Huo Xiaoning's body trembled, and she bit her lips tightly, but did not move.

When she was a child, she was abducted and sold to a small mountain village, a poor and bad place where boys were valued more than girls. If her family had not been poor, her family would never have chosen her.

Unable to buy a son, they vented their anger on Huo Xiaoning, making her live in a pigsty, eat pig food, beating and scolding her every day, and giving her endless work to do.

This has also caused her to become withdrawn and timid now. She becomes afraid and frightened and cannot control her tears at the slightest noise.

After returning to the Huo family, the wealthy material life healed her skinny body, but could not heal her heart.

What's more, the ridicule and contempt of others made her even more timid.

She had never asked for anything, let alone expressed her desire. Except for—
