Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Translator: 549690339 

it was already close to eight o 'clock in the evening, so the four elders naturally wouldn't go back. the servants of the duan family were busy tidying up their bedrooms upstairs, and many of the rooms' doors were open.

when they passed by a room, xu jiamu saw that it was big and empty, and he could only see a black piano through the half-closed door.

" this is the room where i used to learn musical instruments. do you want to go and take a look? " at this time, duan linbai was extremely embarrassed. he was afraid that her family's actions would scare her, so she said she was leaving immediately.

"is it convenient?" xu jiamu's family was in a small county. when she was young, she didn't have the conditions. there weren't any musical instruments in the surrounding environment, so she had only seen these things and never touched them.

"of course." duan linbai pushed the door open.

in addition to pianos, guitars, and violin, there were many other musical instruments that she did not recognize. on a shelf, there were many old scores.

"you know all these?"

"well, some of them only know a little bit." as he spoke, duan linbai lifted the piano key cover and casually tapped on it a few times. a melody immediately flowed out, which was very magical to xu jiamu.

"why did you learn this?"

it didn't match his personality.

" my family said that i have adhd and that learning music is a way to improve my health. but it's useless. my personality is still the same. " duan linbai shrugged.

however, it was true that he had cultivated some temperament.

his father always said that it was fortunate that he had learned to play the piano and looked like a human. otherwise, he would be no different from those punks outside.

xu jiamu had already walked to the piano. he reached out and carefully touched the side of the piano.

"do you want to try?" duan linbai looked at her with a curious expression.

"i won't."

"i'm fine, sit down first!"

as he spoke, he walked towards the door, closed it, and locked it from the inside. his actions were done in one go ...

this way, no one would come back to disturb them.

xu jiamu was a little nervous from his actions. she sat down timidly, avoiding the steps below. she didn't know anything, so she naturally didn't dare to touch them.

"i'll teach you how to recognize a few keys." duan linbai sat down next to her. the stool wasn't big, and the two of them were close to each other.

it was slightly cold, but it warmed her heart.

"i really don't know how to do this. i think i'll pass." xu jiamu felt like something was going to happen if she stayed any longer. just as she was about to get up, duan linbai suddenly grabbed her hand.

"are you angry?"

he was an idiot when it came to relationships and did not have much experience, but he knew that if he met a bunch of people for no reason, he would definitely be unhappy.

"no, i want to finish my research paper first. it's getting late."

"you really don't want to learn the zither?" duan linbai could tell what she was thinking. " i'll teach you a very simple song. it'll only take a few minutes. "

"you can't learn it in a few minutes."

"let's try."

……

a few seconds after xu jiamu agreed, he started to regret it. this person just wouldn't let go of his hand.

it was just a few simple keys, but in his hands, they seemed to be able to make flowers bloom.

this was something xu jiamu had never dabbled in before. he was a complete layman, and his eyes brightened when he saw duan linbai play the familiar light music so smoothly.

she seemed to have a new understanding of him.

" try it yourself. just these few. follow the method i taught you. " duan linbai released his hand.

the heat on the back of her hand dissipated, and xu jiamu let out a long sigh of relief. she seriously and attentively hit the notes. her posture was awkward, but her eyes were extremely serious.

duan linbai tilted his head and stared at her for a long time. when her fingers hit the last note, he tilted his head and kissed her on the side of her face.

the music stopped abruptly.

xu jiamu's heart thumped as if someone had ruthlessly stabbed it.

his palm started to heat up.

" i really don't know why grandfather and the others came. they knew i had a girlfriend and were very excited, so ... " duan linbai was a little nervous, his face flushed, and his fingers kept poking the body of the zither.

"i know, i'm not angry."

xu jiamu wasn't that pretentious. he knew the duan family didn't have any ill intentions, and duan linbai really didn't know.

she could roughly guess what he was thinking. he hated that he couldn't be alone with her. why would he deliberately find so many third wheels?

"you're really not angry?"

"i really didn't."

"there's something ..."

"what?"

"turn your head and look at me." duan linbai was a little impatient. why was she staring at the piano keys?

xu jiamu turned his head to see what he was going to do, but he didn't expect him to suddenly come over ...

caught off guard, her fingers subconsciously wanted to grab something and press the keys of the zither. the clear sound of the zither echoed throughout the entire house.

it was so shocking that the two people's hearts shook.

after an unknown amount of time, duan linbai had already pulled himself away, but she could clearly feel that he was so nervous that he was trembling a little. even his breathing was shaky.

the two of them were very close.

this person's face was like a peach blossom in spring, but her face was very hot, her ears were very red, and her eyes were a little unfocused ...

it was really rare for her to see a boy being shy, especially when it was duan linbai. at this moment, she didn't feel angry from being forced to kiss him. instead, she felt that he was quite cute.

how could a person with such a personality be shy?

so pure.

duan linbai was really nervous. damn it, he had never been this nervous when he went on stage in the past. he was already very nervous, but the person opposite him suddenly laughed ...

"what are you laughing at?"

it made him very nervous.

" your ears ... " before xu jiamu could finish, a pair of even hotter hands landed on her eyes.

"you're not allowed to look and laugh."

xu jiamu chuckled. just how childish was this person?

"if you laugh again, i'll kiss you!"

"yes, i'm not laughing anymore." xu jiamu took a deep breath. he didn't laugh out loud, but the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

duan linbai bit his lip, but he still held his breath and gently leaned over ...

**

in another room, the duan family's four elders and duan linbai's parents, a total of six people, were surrounding a computer monitor.

"tsk, tsk, i really didn't expect us to be so proactive."

"this little rascal's ears are all red, what a good-for-nothing."

"i've really seen him blush before. it's a rare sight. song qiao, you have to keep this video."

" tsk, how long are we going to kiss for? my old face is red from embarrassment. "

……

duan linbai and xu jiamu didn't know that their private affair had been broadcasted live.

this room used to be the place where duan linbai practiced the zither. because he was naturally active and did not focus on things for half an hour, and it was impossible for his family to accompany him all day long, he had specially installed a surveillance camera ...

when they found out that the two had gone to the piano room, they immediately opened the door to see what they were doing. in fact, they wanted to see how the two were progressing and whether xu jiamu would be angry.

*

when the two of them left the piano room, it was already past nine o 'clock. they didn't know what they had done, but they had actually stayed in there for more than an hour.

"i'll send you back to school. you can finish your thesis tomorrow." duan linbai suggested.

xu jiamu nodded.

the two of them went to the living room and saw that they were watching tv. when they saw them, they collectively smiled like aunty.

"let's go," he said. duan linbai pulled her along and quickly escaped from this troublesome place.

he had no idea that what he had done was no longer a secret at home. when he went back, he waved his keys and hummed a song, without any temperament to speak of ...

however, a certain someone didn't forget to show off in the group.

[ i think i'll be able to invite you all to my wedding this year. hohoho! ]

jing hanchuan glanced at his phone, his eyes unreadable.
