Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1891: Chapter 1827: Heart in Turmoil for Her

In the past few days, she had been taking sick leave and not going to school, just because she had been too embarrassed the last time at the art academy, and she couldn’t really face anyone at school.

Ye Wanqing decided to wait for the incident to blow over before returning to school.

But not going to school left her somewhat bored in the house Deng Qingjiang bought for her, especially since Deng Qingjiang was busy lately and often out of sight, even on business trips, leaving her feeling a bit lonely.

After an accidental encounter with Chen Liting, who was willing to skip school and hang out with her every day, she happily spent her time with him.

Because Chen Liting was young and handsome, outwardly, he was more attractive than Deng Qingjiang no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, Chen Liting was very nice to her, taking her shopping, strolling in the park, and buying her meals; it was quite enjoyable.

Ye Wanqing thought, as long as she didn’t get involved with Chen Liting, it didn’t count as betraying Deng Qingjiang, nor as wronging Chen Liting.

After all, wasn’t it just mutual companionship?

However, she felt it was somewhat degrading for Chen Liting to take up a position here playing the piano.

No matter how beautiful, grand, or novel the place was, being a player was still working for someone else, attracting customers.

She didn’t know that because he had spent too much on her recently, Chen Liting was now financially strapped.

The working hours for a player were short, but the pay was said to be substantial, and it didn’t interfere with school, so he thought it was suitable.

”Wanqing, it’s playing the piano for an audience; it’s quite nice and a form of art. I’ll give it a try, and maybe if I work here in the future, I can offer you a discount when you visit.”

Chen Liting was more than willing to spend money on Ye Wanqing, as she was truly beautiful in his eyes.

”All right then, if you like it, give it a try.” After all, she didn’t really need any discounts as Deng Qingjiang was willing to spend money on her.

Ye Wanqing suddenly found the style somewhat familiar when she saw the paintings hanging in the store and stopped paying attention to Chen Liting, walking over to a painting of an orchid for a closer look.

Chiang Xiao observed her actions from upstairs, raising an eyebrow.

Wang Yi had already said, ”Do you think she will recognize that it’s your painting?”

”So what if she recognizes it?” Chiang Xiao smiled faintly, ”Even if she knows this store is mine, it’s no big deal.”

Originally intending to keep a low profile as the silent owner, she no longer feared people discovering the store belonged to her. Besides, with even Li Hanzhong now her uncle, if things ever went beyond her control, she would learn to lean on support.

Cheng Qiulian received Chen Liting, asking him to try playing a classical piece.

Chiang Xiao initially thought Chen Liting wouldn’t be able to play such a piece adequately, but surprisingly, when the music started, it was melodious and beautiful, making one give a second look.

”Wow, this person plays quite well.” Although Wang Yi was an outsider, music has the power to captivate, and good music soothes the ears.

So she also thought Chen Liting played quite well.

Chiang Xiao had been sitting inside, and upon hearing the music, she couldn’t help but lean over the railing, curious to see if it was indeed Chen Liting playing.

From his position, lifting his gaze, Chen Liting could see Chiang Xiao perfectly.

He inadvertently looked up and happened to see Chiang Xiao leaning out, and her exquisite, otherworldly beauty etched into his vision.

Clang.

The piano music suddenly faltered.

Chen Liting looked at Chiang Xiao, his mind unexpectedly going blank.

He had thought Ye Wanqing was beautiful enough, but he hadn’t expected anyone could be so much more beautiful than her!
