Chapter Eleven
Just now in the piano room, Ye Lanan had already introduced everyone. Ye Yingning pretended not to know Lin Xingyuan at all and greeted him politely.
From then on, his eyes would always fall on her intentionally or unintentionally, and this look was too hot and direct for the man and woman he had just met.
"What's wrong, Miss Ye? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Xingyuan smiled, gently picked up the wine glass and looked at Ye Yingning.
When he was in the Ye family, he did not exude any restraint. Instead, he was very good at dancing. Even when faced with questions from the Ye family and his wife, he spoke clearly and was neither humble nor overbearing. This gave Ye Hao and Feng Xuan a very good first impression of him.
Not bad, especially since he is an artist who has returned from overseas and is hailed as the new "Piano Prince" by the domestic media.
Ye Yingning's eyebrows twitched and she didn't want to say anything more. Just as the servant was serving the food, she brought a plate of crispy roasted pork belly, interrupting everyone's conversation. She took the opportunity to purse her lips and stopped talking.
"Ning Ning, your mother specially asked the chef to make this dish, knowing that you like to eat it."
Ye Hao, who has just passed the age of knowing his destiny, has always been taciturn, but he loves his daughter very much. He hopes that she can live a leisurely life as a husband and raise a child. However, Ye Yingning loves jewelry design too much and refuses to give up no matter what.
dream.
Ye Yingning smiled at Ye Hao, Yi Yan picked up the chopsticks and picked out two pieces of meat, put them on his and his mother Feng Xuan's porcelain plates, and then picked up a piece for himself.
She didn't know if it was because her palms were sweaty, but Ye Yingning's hand slipped, and the mouth-watering piece of meat fell off, splattering a large oil stain on her skirt.
"I'll go back to my room and change my clothes. You guys can use it while you're at it."
Ye Yingning frowned, nodded slightly to the other family members, then stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
Walking up the stairs, holding on to the handrail weakly, Ye Yingning let out a long breath. The unexpected reunion with Lin Xingyuan made her heart palpitate unbearably, and she could hardly suppress her violent heartbeat.
She stood quietly for a while, listening to the laughter and laughter coming from downstairs, and finally found the strength to walk back to her bedroom step by step.
Although Ye Yingning has gotten married and no longer lives at home, her bedroom is still spotless, and her wardrobe is filled with clothes from all seasons, many of which are even brand new and have not yet taken off their tags.
She randomly chose a beige long skirt. As soon as she changed it, she heard a noise outside the cloakroom. Ye Yingning walked out alertly and unexpectedly saw a tall figure standing in front of her.
"you……"
The man opposite smiled slightly, pointed at the door, and said softly: "You forgot to close the door. I knocked on the door, but maybe you didn't hear it."
Ye Yingning followed his hand and looked over. Sure enough, she had just been wandering in a daze and actually forgot to close the bedroom door.
Ye Yingning was stunned for a moment. When she first met Lin Xingyuan, it was also in a similar situation——
At that time, Ye Yingning had just entered the modeling circle, and she was accepted into extremely small advertisements. Most of the time, she was working on humanoid props, and she rarely had the opportunity to shoot independently.
But she is very smart. When she stayed on the set, she did not forget to bring tea and water to the director, cameramen and others, and her mouth was sweet. After all, she was a child who grew up in an orphanage, and she has been the most observant since she was a child.
As the future successor of Lin's Real Estate, Lin Xingyuan, who had never been very interested in business, had to go to the studio to inspect it that day, because the advertisement being shot was a brochure of Lin's.
He accidentally broke into the dressing room that was supposed to be deserted, and accidentally bumped into Ye Yingning who was changing clothes. Her flawless white skin completely fell into Lin Xingyuan's eyes.
After a brief embarrassment, Lin Xingyuan apologized profusely, and just like that, the two got to know each other, and he initially only told Ye Yingning that he was a student at the Conservatory of Music, majoring in classical piano.
"Ah, I was too careless."
Ye Yingning was the first to speak out. He took a few steps forward and opened the door completely. He turned back to look at Lin Xingyuan, and the meaning of chasing guests away was self-evident in his eyes.
After all, there are differences between men and women. Now that she is Ye Lanan's cousin, she has to keep this identity in mind at all times.
"Have you ever studied piano?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xingyuan had no intention of leaving at all. He even took a step closer and looked at Ye Yingning in front of him thoughtfully.
He also felt that he must be possessed by a demon, and he actually became curious and suspicious of a woman he met for the first time. For no other reason than because, when he saw Ye Yingning for the first time, he clearly saw longing and admiration in her eyes.
And there were too many complex emotions that he couldn't understand clearly.
All this made Lin Xingyuan want to approach this woman again and again, even though he knew how dangerous it was.
Ye Yingning subconsciously took a step back to open the distance between the two. Ye Yingning immediately shook his head in denial.
"No, I don't know any musical instruments, nor can I understand any music."
She deliberately concealed her familiarity with "Sonata in B Minor" for fear of arousing Lin Xingyuan's suspicion. Although she was now a different person, Ye Yingning was still worried that she would accidentally expose her flaws and be discovered.
"But I clearly remember the expression on your face at that time. I'm sure it was definitely not the first time you heard that "Sonata in B Minor". Your expression betrayed you."
Lin Xingyuan's voice was soft, but his tone was aggressive. His eyes looking at Ye Yingning were obviously full of suspicion and scrutiny.
She paused, unable to bear the heat in his eyes, which almost melted her whole body.
"Mr. Lin," Ye Yingning reluctantly suppressed the panic in her heart and frowned, "You are a guest. As a family member of Lan'an, I think our whole family is very polite to you. Please also talk to me."
Treat me with some respect."
Lin Xingyuan didn't seem to expect that the weak-looking Ye Yingning would speak with such a straight face. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her. After being stunned for a few seconds, he laughed.
A few seconds later, he stopped laughing and walked over. Before Ye Yingning could react, Lin Xingyuan's hand almost touched her lips!
"you!"
Ye Yingning was so frightened that she could only utter a single syllable. She even saw her panicked reflection in his eyes.
"Don't move, it's a little oily."
He moved his fingers and gently wiped the corners of Ye Yingning's lips, and then stretched it out in front of her eyes. Sure enough, there was a slight light yellowish stain on it, which she probably accidentally rubbed on while eating.
Ye Yingning bit her lower lip tightly. She could not express her gratitude. She only felt that her chest was extremely tight and full of depression.
This man no longer belongs to her. She can clearly see the full of admiration in Lan An's eyes, which is completely different from the previous game world, where she had an attitude of not marrying anyone except her.
"I'm going downstairs. You can do it yourself, Mr. Lin. I think you don't have the habit of standing alone in other people's bedrooms."
She managed to squeeze out a sentence through her teeth, and after speaking, she turned around and left.
Every second spent with Lin Xingyuan was torture, challenge, and torture for Ye Yingning at this moment.
Warm liquid was brewing in her eyes. She raised her head and tried hard to suppress the urge to cry.
