When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase
Chapter 1144: Minor SulkMrs. An said a few more things, and then Zhou Chengchen suddenly understood.
An Ge couldn’t see outsiders; the only people she could accept were her family and Xi Siyan, so only Xi Siyan could teach her. But Xi Siyan himself couldn’t play, so he came to her.
Zhou Chengchen didn’t believe Xi Siyan was such a warm-hearted person that he’d pour this much effort into teaching someone.
There were only two possibilities: either the An Family meant something really special to him, or An Ge meant something special to him.
Zhou Chengchen felt a bit weird inside. She knew she was being petty, that she had no right to be bothered by this, but she still felt a little off.
After all, she’d always thought she was the only one he treated as special, but it turned out there was someone else who could make him even more special.
——
Upstairs, An Ge finished a piece, turned her head, her eyes shining as she looked at Xi Siyan: "Brother Siyan, how did I play?"
Xi Siyan gave a slight smile: "Very good. Has Xiao Ge been practicing all this time?"
An Ge nodded hard: "I’ve been practicing."
Xi Siyan sat down beside An Ge and reached out to gently ruffle her fine, tousled hair: "Xiao Ge, do you still remember the sister I told you about?"
An Ge nodded: "I remember. Brother Siyan said it was that sister who taught you, so you could come teach Xiao Ge."
"That sister is downstairs right now. Does Xiao Ge want to see her?"
A deep fear flashed instantly in An Ge’s eyes, and her little face went pale. Xi Siyan didn’t push her, but he didn’t back down either; he just looked at An Ge gently.
They all actually knew that An Ge’s condition was psychological, that she had to be forced to step out for it to work. But An Ge’s health wasn’t good either, and after a few attempts that all ended with her fainting, the An Family couldn’t bear to keep trying.
Right now, Xi Siyan was just giving it a try. These days, whenever he came to the An Family he would tell An Ge things about Zhou Chengchen; he’d even already shown An Ge a photo of Zhou Chengchen, which was why he now dared to make this request.
But An Ge was still scared. Even so, it was already better than Xi Siyan had expected. She didn’t outright refuse, her expression just shifted.
An Ge bit down hard on her lips, her dark eyes flickering with fear.
Two minutes later, Xi Siyan spoke again: "How about this: I’ll go with Xiao Ge into the bathroom, and we won’t see her. Let that sister come up and play a piece for Xiao Ge, okay?"
What Xi Siyan said got An Ge’s agreement. She was still very hesitant, her small hands clenched tight: "We really won’t see her?"
"Mm, you won’t. Don’t you trust me?"
"I do!"
An Ge nodded quickly.
Xi Siyan stood up, gently ushered her into the bathroom, and only after closing the door did he go downstairs.
Zhou Chengchen hadn’t expected that Xi Siyan, who had just said it wasn’t convenient, would now ask her to go up.
Mrs. An was also startled: "Siyan, this..."
"Aunt, don’t worry, nothing will happen."
Mrs. An was still not at ease. They had already given up on psychological treatment for An Ge; as long as there was nothing wrong with her physically, that was enough.
The three of them went upstairs together. Xi Siyan lowered his voice and said a few words to Zhou Chengchen, and the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger. He really was putting a lot of thought into An Ge.
After Xi Siyan went into the bathroom and closed the door, Zhou Chengchen sat down at the piano. She hesitated for a moment, then played a simple, lyrical piece.
She might not have been at a professional level, but she was still top-tier among amateurs, and compared to Xi Siyan’s clumsy three-legged-cat skills, the difference was obvious at once.
