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

Under the servants' incredulous gaze, Ruan Xingchen pushed Huo Yan down the elevator.

Huo Jingxuan, who was sitting at the dining table bored, suddenly jumped up and stammered, "Big brother."

Huo Yan glanced at him calmly and didn't respond.

The servant eagerly pulled out the tables and chairs.

She had only been in this house for a short afternoon, but the servants were already extremely attentive and considerate when serving her.

Ruan Xingchen was not in a hurry to sit down: "Where is the fifth lady?"

"The Fifth Miss always eats in her room." Sister Chen responded, and said cleverly, "The Fifth Miss's room is on the fourth floor."

"Wait until the Sixth Young Master comes back from school before serving the food." Ruan Xingchen replied calmly, "I'll go call the Fifth Young Lady."

Going up to the fourth floor, the sound of a piano could be heard faintly, which was smooth and pleasant but also a bit depressing.

Ruan Xingchen listened for a moment, raised his hand and knocked on the door. The piano music suddenly became chaotic, and the piano made a heavy and harsh hum.

Return to silence.

No one came to open the door, so she patiently knocked twice more: "Xiaoning, open the door."

After a while, the door was opened a tiny crack.

When I pushed the door open, I saw a thin figure lying on the bed with his legs crossed. His long hair hung down to cover his face, and he didn't even look over here.

Ruan Xingchen's expression remained calm. She glanced at the hastily closed piano and said softly, "Meet me. I'm your eldest brother's newlywed wife. My name is Ruan Xingchen."

There was no movement, no response.

"I just heard you playing the piano." Ruan Xingchen smiled and said, "It was Saint-Saëns's 'Swan', right?"

When the piano was mentioned, the girl who had always looked like a puppet cautiously revealed her wide-open eyes from between her hair, like a timid deer, full of alertness.

Are you going to laugh at her?

Like those people, they laughed at her for not having the courage to play in front of others and that she was not qualified to play the piano at all.

She was alert, but she didn't cry.

She was already used to being ridiculed, belittled, and scolded.

The pretty girl with a slender figure casually opened the piano cover, and her fingertips, as light as peeling onions, danced lightly. The familiar piano sound rang out.

It's "Swan".

The identical music faded away the sadness of dying alone at her fingertips, just like the full moon breaking through the silent sea, breaking free from its restraints in an instant and hanging high in the night sky.

Huo Xiaoning was stunned and murmured softly, "It sounds really good."

"You play beautifully, too. I really like it." Ruan Xingchen narrowed his eyes and generously expressed his kindness: "Can you play it for me again when there's a chance?"

The little deer, which had just stuck its head out, shrank back again, and its ears, which were covered by its long hair, turned red.

"I only know a little bit of piano." Ruan Xingchen walked to the bedside and looked at her with a smile: "But I know you are very talented. If you are willing, I am always willing to be your audience."

In her previous life, in order to blend into the circle of upper-class ladies, she chose playing the piano as one of her specialties.

In order to be able to perform well, he practiced diligently and never stopped until his death. His arms were sore and his fingers were red and swollen from playing several times.

However, Mrs. Zhong said that her motive for playing the piano was too utilitarian, and the sound was full of worldliness, making her unworthy of playing the piano. So she rarely played the piano in front of others.

Having never felt such kindness before, Huo Xiaoning looked at her blankly, only seeing sincerity in her eyes.

She suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart, and after a long time, she nodded imperceptibly.

"That's great." Ruan Xingchen smiled in surprise. "I'll have a treat from now on. Before that, could you come downstairs and have dinner with us?"

After a pause, he added: "Everyone at home is waiting for you."

family?

This unfamiliar way of addressing made Huo Xiaoning feel a strange warmth in her heart.

My eyes subconsciously felt sore and tears fell.

Her beautiful and gentle new sister-in-law was stunned and panicked: "Why, why are you crying again?"

Tears fell faster, but she nodded vigorously and placed her skinny hand in her warm palm.

When Ruan Xingchen brought Huo Xiaoning downstairs, the two brothers Huo Yan and Huo Jingxuan, as well as Huo Chenglin who had just returned home from school, could not help but show shocked expressions.

The late father Huo was a womanizer, and all his children were born from the bellies of different women.

Huo Xiaoning's mother went crazy after giving birth to her, which led to her being abducted at a very young age. She was only found a few years ago.

Perhaps due to psychological trauma, she always stayed alone in her room playing the piano, rarely spoke, and even less appeared in front of others.

Huo Jingxuan couldn't help but tremble, and there was a bit of pity in his eyes when he looked at his sister.

No way, my sister is so thin, it must be painful for her to be beaten, right?

Ruan Xingchen didn't know what they were thinking. He took Huo Xiaoning to a seat, looked up at Huo Chenglin who was still standing at the door, and greeted him naturally: "Going home? Wash your hands and come over to eat."

Huo Chenglin is a handsome and gentle young boy, dressed neatly in a suit and school uniform, carrying a backpack.

It seemed that her earlobe was pierced, but probably because she was in school, she only pinned a tea stem or something else.

Hearing this, his eyes dimmed slightly. He looked at his brother and sister who were obviously feeling awkward but still sitting obediently at the dining table, and smiled sweetly: "You are my sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law."

Finally someone polite.

Ruan Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, his eyes casually passing over Huo Jingxuan.

Huo Sanpi tensed up, subconsciously straightening his body and nodding to his brother, with whom he rarely interacted. "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. We're waiting for you."

The surprise in Huo Chenglin's eyes grew even stronger, but he smiled and nodded obediently: "Okay, Third Brother."

Except for the fourth daughter Huo Qianqian who was abroad and the second son Huo Yuanzhou who was missing, the rest of the Huo family gathered around the dining table in such an orderly manner for the first time, and had dinner in an odd yet harmonious atmosphere.

The next morning, when Huo Chenglin went downstairs, he saw his new sister-in-law sitting at the dining table and eating leisurely.

Her movements were lazy and casual, revealing a sense of nobility and composure, not at all like a girl from the slums.

"Sister-in-law." He suppressed the deep thought in his eyes and greeted with a smile: "Good morning. I have to go to school."

"Wait a moment." Ruan Xingchen raised his eyes and pointed at the hot milk on the table with his chin: "Drink the milk before you leave."

Huo Chenglin was stunned for a moment, staring at the milk in a daze.

"Drink more milk to grow taller." Ruan Xingchen thought he didn't like it and advised: "You need nutrition for high school. If you don't like milk, I'll ask Sister Chen to switch to soy milk tomorrow."

"No." Huo Chenglin picked up the milk and drank it all. He lowered his head and held the cup tightly, saying softly, "Milk is good."

After a moment, he said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The etiquette is particularly thorough.

Ruan Xingchen nodded indifferently: "Go ahead, be careful on the road, study hard, and go home early."

She was only two or three years older than him, but she naturally fit into the role of the elder.

Huo Chenglin responded and was about to leave when he was stopped again.
