The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 40

Chapter 40

“Chen Xian, do you want to stay in Nanjing?” Lan Yuan asked, looking at the brooch on her clothes.

“I will go wherever you go.” Shen Xian said firmly without any hesitation.

She had never thought that she had to stay somewhere before, but now she just wanted to stay by Lan Yuan’s side. Wherever Lan Yuan was, she would be.

“Then let’s go to the pawn shop today. I want to change some money.” Lan Yuan sorted out some things she brought from Yangzhou and put them in her bag, planning to sell them.

After careful consideration last night, Lan Yuan decided to get rid of the Lan family and stay in Nanjing.They are each other’s lovers and deserve a home of their own.

I asked whether Jinling was good, but he said: This place of peace of mind is my hometown.

“Are you short of money?” Shen Xian was confused.

“I don’t have enough cash on hand, so I plan to buy a house in Nanjing.” Lan Yuan pretended to be relaxed and said, as she was afraid of adding to Shen Xian’s worries.

“Why?” Shen Xian didn’t understand what Lan Yuan was doing.

“Because I want to be with you forever, and I want to have a family with you.” Lan Yuan held Chen Xian’s hand tightly, with firm eyes and a solemn tone.

It was not a sudden move, but a long-planned plan. From the day we fell in love at first sight, we had imagined that we could spend a lifetime with Shen Xian.

Chen Xian didn’t expect Lan Yuan to think so far. They had only established their relationship for a few days, but Lan Yuan seemed to have planned the rest of her life.

Lan Yuan’s small body hides tenacity and persistence. Looking at the tenderness in those cold eyes, Shen Xian felt the warmth of being taken seriously, cherished, and held in the palm of his hand.

At only eighteen years old, Lan Yuan’s seriousness and responsibility far surpass those of anyone his age!

It was also at this moment that Shen Xian believed that Lan Yuan would never leave her and love him forever.

“No need to buy a house, I have a house.” Shen Xian said.

At that time, Shen Xian had just returned to Jinling and was in a depressed mood. He occasionally wanted to hide and be quiet. There were too many people in Hunter’s store, so he bought a house one mile away from Hunter’s store.

“It’s not the villa that day, it belongs to my parents. It’s a small house that used to belong to me and now belongs to us. It’s quite spacious and more than enough for two people.” Shen Xian continued to explain.

When Lan Yuan heard the word “we” in Shen Xian’s mouth, her heart felt warm and she silently recited these two words.

“But since I didn’t pay, wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you?” Lan Yuan was embarrassed.

“There is no need to distinguish between you and me so clearly, everything mine belongs to you.” Chen Xian hugged Lan Yuan and continued.

“I’m just afraid that I have wronged you. Our relationship is difficult for everyone to accept. Your situation is already more difficult than mine. If I don’t do more, I will feel even worse. You don’t have to feel sorry.”

Chen Xian knew that he was three years older than Lan Yuan, so he should do more for her and let Lan Yuan worry less.

Lan Yuan rested her head on Shen Xian’s shoulder, holding her lover’s hand tightly, feeling particularly at ease, “It’s great to have you!”

Lan Yuan then thought about Shen Xian’s parents who were far away in England, and suddenly felt that living in Jinling was not appropriate enough. “Do you really think it’s okay to live here? What about your parents?”

Shen Xian felt that now was not the time to tell Lan Yuan about the estrangement between him and his parents, “They have their own lives. I just want to think more about our lives.”

And even if there is no conflict with his parents now, Shen Xian will not take Lan Yuan back to London. At most, he will only go back to visit his parents occasionally.Lan Yuan couldn’t adapt to the language, food, etc., not to mention that Lan Yuan’s relatives were all in China, so London was definitely not the best choice.

“Have you ever considered your parents?” Shen Xian asked.

Lan Yuan rubbed Chen Xian’s fingers, her red lips slightly parted, “They are accompanied by a brother and sister-in-law, and if it’s between your parents and you, I choose you.”

Lan Yuan clearly understands the feudal tradition of her parents and cannot accept herself and Shen Xian at all.

Lan Yuan also prides herself on not being a noble and upright person. Since people can love others, they will also have a selfish side. They are just parents and cannot compare to Chen Xian!

From not being expected to be born as a girl, not being allowed to play, to being often punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, to being dragged into random blind dates, there is not much affection left between Lan Yuan and her parents.

Chen Xian guessed that Lan Yuan might be in a dilemma between his parents and himself, but he never thought that this person would be so determined to choose him.

Two lines of tears fell from his eyes, and Shen Xian’s heart’s throbbing for Lan Yuan reached its peak, “Don’t worry, I will never let you down for the rest of my life.”

“Let’s go, let’s go to the movies.” Lan Yuan wiped away Chen Xian’s tears. Her pear blossoms were so beautiful despite the rain.

This time Shen Xian specifically asked for a ticket in the last row. Lan Yuan didn’t understand it at first. After all, the last row was not a good seat.

It wasn’t until Shen Xian started doing “bad things” that Lan Yuan realized that this person had so many evil intentions!

“On the screen, the male and female protagonists successfully confessed their love to each other, and when their love became more intense, they kissed deeply.”

Although Lan Yuan had fantasized about being like this with Shen Xian every time he watched the movie, he never dared to because there were people around him.

In the dark theater, Shen Xian just imitated the scene on the screen.

This sudden initiative surprised Lan Yuan, but the sweetness and enjoyment that followed made people unable to stop. Even while indulging, Lan Yuan could hear each other’s passionate heartbeats.

After the kiss, the two of them pretended that nothing happened, sat upright, and continued to watch the movie as if nothing had happened.

But the two hands pulled tighter. In the second half, the two of them were tacitly savoring the numbness in the corners of their mouths.

Back home, Xu Ziyu still didn’t forget the scene he just saw, and he was so angry that he smashed the tea cup!

The young girl was flirting with Shen Xian, and Shen Xian actually looked at her lovingly.

Xu Ziyu has never been able to accept that Shen Xian likes other people, let alone that Shen Xian likes a woman. How worthless he is to be overtaken by a latecomer!

She picked up the phone, dialed the familiar number, and spoke in a commanding tone, “Help me track and investigate a person!”

Then he dialed another familiar number, “Come and drink with me!”

After watching the movie, the two walked out of the theater——

“Would you like to come and see the house tomorrow?” Shen Xian asked.

Lan Yuan made a troubled expression, “Tomorrow… is not possible.”

“Are there any other arrangements?” Shen Xian saw Lan Yuan’s troubled face.

“Uncle and aunt will do their best to be landlords, and the whole family will have dinner together tomorrow.” It was difficult for Lan Yuan to refuse this meal.

“Can you bring your family?” Chen Xian felt empty when he thought about not seeing Lan Yuan tomorrow.

Lan Yuan thought about it seriously, and it was not impossible. In the name of teacher, student or friend, but she was afraid that Shen Xian would be entangled with Feng Jia and be scrutinized by her uncle and aunt, so she gave up the idea.

“I’m kidding, I’m not going.” Shen Xian straightened Lan Yuan’s collar and put on her scarf.

It’s one thing not to take it with him, but it’s another thing to hear Shen Xianming say he won’t go. Lan Yuan felt a flash of sadness in his heart.

“Let’s go see the house the day after tomorrow.” Lan Yuan forced a smile.

“Okay, we will meet at the tailor shop that day, and I will take you there.” Shen Xian held Lan Yuan’s hand.

Facing the sunshine, the two walked aimlessly on the street, their backs were lazy and casual, and they were very affectionate!

The day after tomorrow——

Lan Yuan took her uncle’s car and set off to the tailor shop.

Shen Xian opened the shop early and waited for his return.

A black car parked in front of the store, wind chimes rang, and Shen Xian raised his eyes excitedly——

The person who came was Qian Pei.

“Long time no see, Xiao Shen!” Qian Pei smiled.

“Good morning, Sister Pei.” A trace of loneliness flashed in Shen Xian’s eyes, and he thought it would be Lan Yuan.

“Uncle, Sister Pei is here.” Shen Xian called upstairs, where Hunter was making coffee and making sandwiches in the kitchen.

When there are no outsiders, Shen Xian doesn’t like to call Mrs. Qian Peizhao. Everyone should have their own name.

“Good morning, Mrs. Zhao. I’m really sorry, but your clothes haven’t been finished yet.” Hunter rushed downstairs wearing an apron.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m here specifically to see Xiao Shen this time.” Qian Pei said to Hunter.

“Then you guys talk first. I haven’t turned off the heat yet and am frying eggs!” Hunter smiled and ran back to the kitchen.

“I heard that our little Shen is in love.” Qian Pei said casually while sitting on the sofa. She wanted to test whether Shen Xian really had a partner.

Shen Xian poured a glass of water for Qian Pei, “Sister Pei is so well-informed!”

Sure enough, after talking about it, things became much more difficult to handle, and Qian Pei was worried!

“What about the girl?” Qian Pei got straight to the point.

Chen Xian’s hands shook, with shock written on his face, “Where did Sister Pei hear that she was a girl?”

Qian Pei took a sip of water and smiled without answering. It took a long time before he spoke——

“Ziyu told me.”

“She’s investigating me again?” Shen Xian was dissatisfied. She never told Xu Ziyu that the other party was a girl.

“She cares about you very much, go and see her.” Qian Pei said seriously.

She came here specially today, hoping that Shen Xian could go and see Xu Ziyu.

“I won’t go.” Shen Xian objected, “Sister Pei is very close to her. She should know that we don’t just meet casually.”

“If you don’t go, she will really die.” Qian Pei also knew that Shen Xian didn’t want to see Xu Ziyu, but he still spoke shamelessly.

That man started drinking heavily when he came back from Yangzhou, and he hasn’t stopped from the day before yesterday. If he continues to drink, his life will really be lost.

“If you just talk to her, she will feel better. I guarantee she won’t do anything to you.”

Even if Xu Ziyu thought about it, he couldn’t even raise his hand with such a ghostly look!

“There are not many people around her, but she is willing to talk to you all these years.” Qian Pei continued, trying to persuade Shen Xian.

Qian Pei saw Xu Ziyu’s suffering. Because she had lost her true love, Qian Pei sympathized with Xu Ziyu. She also knew that Xu Ziyu and Shen Xian were fruitless, but she still wanted to fight for her.

“How could she die?” Shen Xian’s face was moved.

“I kept having stomach bleeding and drinking.” Qian Pei explained.

“Didn’t she say she quit drinking?” Shen Xian was angry that Xu Ziyu didn’t take good care of herself.

“She really stopped drinking, but you should also know why she started drinking again.”

Shen Xian naturally understood that what she said that day in Yangzhou was too much, but she just wanted Xu Ziyu to give up on her, not to give up on herself.

Qian Pei glanced at his watch and said, “If you go to see her earlier, she will drink less. If you don’t go there, she will keep drinking.”

Shen Xian felt uncomfortable when he saw Xu Ziyu treating wine as water.

“Uncle, lend me your car for a while. Lan Yuan will come here later. You tell her that I will go out to do some errands and will be back soon.”

Shen Xian drove straight to Xu Ziyu in a hurry.

Just a minute after the car drove out, Lan Yuan arrived at the tailor shop and happened to meet Qian Pei who was about to leave.

Qian Pei heard the sound of wind chimes and raised his eyes to look at the person——

The girl is cold and beautiful, with a temperament that is repellent to others thousands of miles away. She is like a calm landscape painting, with all the ups and downs hidden, just like her “friend” who once lived abroad.

Lan Yuan noticed this customer in the store, who was elegant, dignified and noble, but didn’t take it seriously.

“Lan Yuan, you’re here. Shen Xian has something to do and will be back soon.” Hunter was about to send Mrs. Zhao off, but he didn’t expect Lan Yuan to come so early.

Blue Kite?Qian Pei thought about the name in his mind, and it turned out that this was Chen Xian’s little girlfriend.

“Hello, Miss Lan.” Qian Pei stepped forward to say hello, with a warm tone and stretched out his right hand——
