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

This was a rare day for the Huo family to gather together at the dining table for a meal.

Huo Chenglin and Huo Jingxuan went to class after dinner, while Huo Yuanzhou stayed at home as usual, seemingly doing nothing.

Huo Qianqian took a leave to return home this time. She didn't have anything to do for the time being, so she stayed at home.

Huo Xiaoning looked at her brothers and sisters who were still at home, clenched her spoon, and for the first time bravely put forward her idea: "Sister-in-law, I have an appointment with my teacher to learn piano today... Can you come with me?"

Without waiting for Ruan Xingchen to respond, Huo Yan frowned slightly, his dark eyes falling on her: "I'll ask the driver to take you there."

You're so old, why are you still so clingy?

"I..." Huo Xiaoning shrank back and looked timidly at this elder brother who was always serious and cold.

She paused, then turned her pitiful gaze towards Ruan Xingchen, her eyes slightly reddened. "This is my first time being alone with the teacher, so I'm a little nervous. Sister-in-law..."

There was a hint of attachment on his young and thin face, as if he would cry the next moment if rejected.

Children who grew up in the slums are all stubborn. They would fight back even if they were beaten, but the next moment they would happily rely on her.

Where can I find such a pitiful person who cries at the slightest provocation?

For the first time, Ruan Xingchen realized how afraid she was of others crying. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there after dinner."

Huo Xiaoning immediately smiled with satisfaction, and faint dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Only then did the others realize that the girl, who always had a head of black hair hanging down to cover her cheeks like a small mushroom growing in a dark corner, had tucked her long hair behind her delicate ears this morning, tentatively revealing most of her cheek.

Her previous timid look was gone, and now she looked like an ordinary girl who was a little shy and timid.

"Sister-in-law." Huo Qianqian bit her lip.

She also wanted to stay with her sister-in-law, but she had no suitable reason, nor could she shamelessly go to Master Yu Wan's house, so she was particularly unwilling.

For the first time, I felt that the life of a rich second-generation daughter with nothing to do was so boring.

Ruan Xingchen looked over when she heard the voice, seemingly unaware of her resentment: "You just got home, rest well at home. I'll bring you some food when you come back."

Specially for her?

"Okay." Huo Qianqian's cloudy sky suddenly turned sunny, and she smiled brightly with joy.

The way the sisters competed for favor was really unbearable to watch. Huo Yuanzhou curled his lips in disgust, as if he was agreeing with another person in the family who still retained his rationality.

However, Huo Yan watched this scene with heavy eyes, and for the first time he felt that the old man had given birth to too many children.

Why were they pestering her one by one? Yet, she always responded to their requests with an unusually good attitude.

"Mr. Huo." Ruan Xingchen wiped the corner of his mouth, smiled, stood up, walked to him, and leaned over: "How are you feeling today?"

He still had a faint smell of disinfectant left over from yesterday's surgery, and his face was slightly pale.

The post-operative meal specially prepared for him was light and nourishing, but he only ate a symbolic amount.

Although it was a minor operation on his leg, the crooked bones had to be broken and reconnected. One can imagine the pain he went through after the anesthetic wore off.

"Not bad." Huo Yan turned his eyes away, not wanting to look at her approaching pretty face, and said calmly, "Madam, please go and come back soon."

The two exchanged a knowing look.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Huo Qianqian asked subconsciously: "Is Big Brother feeling unwell?"

It was clearly an ordinary conversation, but she always felt that there was a tacit understanding between the two that was difficult for others to interrupt, as if they were communicating more than just the conversation.

Ruan Xingchen laughed: "Nothing. If you're bored at home, just read more books."

Read more books and you will become smarter.

When Master Yu Wan returned to China this time, he lived in a small villa in an ecological park on the outskirts of the city.

The surrounding environment is quiet and not far away is the beautiful wetland ecological park, making it particularly suitable for living.

When Ruan Xingchen brought Huo Xiaoning to the house, Yu Wan had just finished his daily practice and warmly welcomed them.

"Mrs. Huo." Yu Wan's eyes were kind and appreciative. She smiled and asked, "It wasn't convenient yesterday. Actually, I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. Who is your master? Judging from your performance with Xiao Ning yesterday, your zither skills must be quite impressive."

Yesterday, Ruan Xingchen seemed to be just casually tapping the keys twice, but each of them was so appropriate that it added a lot of color to Huo Xiaoning's performance, making up for the small flaws caused by her short learning of the piano and the lack of guidance from a famous teacher.

It is easier said than done. If you don’t have vision and skills far beyond ordinary people, it would be difficult to achieve this.

Thinking back carefully to last night, Yu Wan felt that even she herself might not be able to be so appropriate and beautiful every time.

"Me?" Ruan Xingchen was a little surprised. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Master Yu, you're too kind. I'm sure you've heard that I come from a poor family. How could I possibly have the opportunity to learn from a master? I only know a little bit."

She certainly didn't learn piano from any master.

At first I hired a regular tutor to learn from me, and later I practiced on my own.

When I went to the mountains to learn and consult in order to save Mr. Gu's double-petaled white-crowned lotus, I met several old men who were also living in seclusion in the mountains.

She passed by the garden of several elderly people and happened to hear one of them playing the piano. She walked in rashly and received guidance from those elderly people for a period of time after they got to know each other.

She once asked those old people for their names, but they said that names were meaningless and if they insisted on calling them, they would just call them Anonymous.

Immersed in memories, she didn't notice the complexity in Yu Wan's eyes.

Ruan Xingchen is only nineteen now, but her piano skills are so good that she is hard to measure. Yu Wanye thinks of her extraordinary talent several times when she thinks of her.

If she hadn't felt that she might not be able to teach her, she would have wanted to accept Mrs. Huo as her student right then and there.

And now, she says she only knows a little?

Assuming Ruan Xingchen didn't want to talk, she didn't ask any further questions and asked Huo Xiaoning to go upstairs with her to the piano room for class.

The first day of class was more about getting to know the basics and gaining understanding, and it didn't last long, so Ruan Xingchen simply got up and went to the wetland ecological park behind.

The wetland ecological park is a key project of the environmental protection department. It has almost preserved the most original and beautiful appearance of the surrounding ecology, with fresh air and beautiful environment.

Ruan Xingchen walked all the way and unknowingly reached the center of the park, where he heard hearty laughter coming from one side.

Two white-haired old men were sitting in the small pavilion, sipping tea and talking. When they heard the footsteps, they looked over with kind and peaceful expressions.

The old lady with the gray ponytail looked her over and said with a smile, "Are you Wan Ya's new student?"
