Qin Muni pursed her lips without answering, "...!"
"Actually, you've thought about it too. It all cos down to still having feelings for him, so you feel that even if he likes you, it wouldn't matter."
Qin Muni did not deny it, and she clearly knew that at this mont, Xu Yisen was standing outside the study, listening clearly to what she had just said to Wu Yuchen.
The words just now were intentionally spoken for Xu Yisen to hear.
It was to prove whether her suspicions about his recent unusual behavior were correct.
"Stop playing with your phone; the radiation isn't good for the baby."
Wu Yuchen knew that Qin Muni was unwilling to continue the topic, so she rolled her eyes and disdainfully said, "Why are you behaving just like my husband."
"Take good care of yourself, and I'll visit you when the baby is born."
"You better co see , or you'll never hear the end of it."
Qin Muni couldn't help but laugh, "Got it, I'm hanging up."
"Mm, bye-bye."
After hanging up, Qin Muni crossed her arms, squinting slightly at her own reflection in the glass window.
The faint sound of footsteps echoed in her ears again, but unlike before, this ti the footsteps grew fainter — Xu Yisen had left.
...
It wasn't until evening, after Xu Yisen had left, that he ca to Qin Muni's ho, by which ti she had already prepared dinner.
"Seems like I've co just at the right ti."
Qin Muni cast him a sidelong glance, took off her apron and casually draped it over the chair beside her, "Today is Christmas, why aren't you with Xia Yuge?"
Without thinking, he blurted out, "Mm, I'd rather see you."
Qin Muni pursed her lips, taking it as a jest.
Throughout the al, neither of them spoke much, though Xu Yisen did complint Qin Muni's improved cooking skills a few tis.
After dinner, Xu Yisen showed no intention of leaving, pulling Qin Muni to the music room.
"We haven't played a duet in a long ti."
"It has been a long ti." Qin Muni nodded gently, strolling to the piano.
The cleaning lady ca every week to tidy the house, so even though the piano hadn't been used for over two years, it hadn't gathered any dust and remained as good as new.
"Shall we play a piece?"
Qin Muni slowly turned her head, looking at Xu Yisen standing behind her. His smile was warm like the sun, and his deep, dark eyes were as gentle as water.
Sowhere along the line, Qin Muni seed to have gotten used to this always-smiling Xu Yisen. The impression of the indifferent and unapproachable Xu Yisen seed to be increasingly blurred.
"Mm, alright." She nodded gently, walked to the side table, and opened the violin case lying on it, revealing a brand new, dark brown violin.
Her father had given her many violins, yet this one seed the most significant.
Because, it was with this violin that she had played her first duet with Xu Yisen at their wedding.
Qin Muni took out the violin, and looked up at Xu Yisen, who was already sitting at the piano, and asked, "Shall we play Canon together?"
"Mm."
Xu Yisen nodded slightly, his long fingers poised over the keys, and in the next mont, his fingers danced swiftly and nimbly over the keys, the lodious and pleasing sound of the piano flowing like water.
Qin Muni stood a little distance from him, watching his profile intently as she gracefully lifted the bow and played on the violin strings.
The crystal chandelier's light shone on Xu Yisen, exuding a clear and noble aura, as if enveloping him in layers of hazy halos.
In a daze, Qin Muni seed to be transported back to a concert eleven years ago.
