Chapter 69: The Young Prince and the Princess!

-----------------------------------------

Because <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> had only returned from abroad not too long ago.

Qin Tian didn't know that <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> played piano and only guessed from the fact that he saw the piano in the room.

After hearing what <𝙒𝙚𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣> said earlier, he confirmed his guess.

But he still wanted to keep a low profile.

Although Qin Tian had <𝙋𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙤 𝙎𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨-𝙈𝙖𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙢 𝙇𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡> , he didn't want to show off.

He also didn't want to be bragging in front of <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> to get her likes.

Even knowing that <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> was the heroine, he still wouldn't do it.

So, saying that he knew how to play a little wasn't a big problem.

But when <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> interpreted it, it had a different meaning.

"𝙒𝙤𝙬, 𝙐𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙌𝙞𝙣 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙤? 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚?"

"𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨?"

<𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙜> was also in disbelief.

In their social circle, it was common to find rich second generations who knew how to play the piano.

Because of their wealthy backgrounds, most parents would send their children to learn some elegant instruments or sports to boost their reputation.

But it was rare to see the head of a wealthy family to know how to play the piano.

Because the majority of their time had to be put into taking care of their business.

How could they find time to learn these skills mostly for pleasure?

Qin Tian didn't care if <𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙜> believed it or not.

He ignored her and looked back at <𝙒𝙚𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣>.

Soon , <𝙒𝙚𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣'𝙨> first piece ended.

"𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩…"

"𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙙, <𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣'𝙨> 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙."

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙."

"<𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣'𝙨> 𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚!"

"𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪!"

Feeling quite proud of himself, <𝙒𝙚𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣> stood up and took a bow. He then walked to , where <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> was.

"<𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> , 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜."

"𝘼𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙚, 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙢 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩."

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> said lightly.

"𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮?!" <𝙒𝙚𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣> wasn't mad but excited, "<𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣>, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙄'𝙢 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙."

After all, he barely learned for a few months.

It would be incomparable to <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣'𝙨> professional level of playing.

So, after getting a half-decent comment from <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> , he was already very happy.

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> nodded and looked away.

She said to Qin Tian, "𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙌𝙞𝙣 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙤."

"𝘼𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙, 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨!!"

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮, 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪."

"𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮? 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙤 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙."

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> was happy to hear that but didn't show much on her face.

Under the looks of everyone in the room, she calmly walked to her piano.

She first turned the notes and became more focused as she was ready to play.

Ting~

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> started her piece.

The song that she played was called <𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨>.

The story was very old-fashioned. Simply about a princess falling in love with the prince, and later the prince protecting the princess.

It was a slow-moving piece with a wide range of notes, focusing mainly on the basics

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣'𝙨> piano skills were very good, and she had a good grasp of the fast and slow rhythms of this piece.

Much better than <𝙒𝙚𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙞𝙣> , who was barely a beginner.

Piano skills could be generally divided into seven rankings: <𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧> , <𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚> , <𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙> , <𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩> , <𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧> , <𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧> , and <𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙡𝙮>.

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣'𝙨> skills could be considered between <𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩> and <𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧>.

Soon, <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> elegantly finished off her piece.

She took a bow and got a loud round of applause from her audience.

Seeing this, <𝙎𝙪 𝙕𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙜> and his wife smiled happily.

<𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> was also overjoyed.

"𝙐𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙌𝙞𝙣, 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩?"

Surrounded by cheers and applause , <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> walked to Qin Tian, feeling very proud of herself.

In her mind, Qin Tian wouldn't be even close to as professional as her and probably couldn't tell much.

But for some reason, she just wanted Qin Tian's acknowledgement.

"𝙃𝙖𝙝𝙖, 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙."

Qin Tian smiled lightly , "𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮, 𝙨𝙤 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙮 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜."

"𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩."

"…𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩?"

Hearing Qin Tian's critiques , <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> was frozen in place.

What is up with Uncle Qin?

"<𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣>!"

Before she could say anything, <𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> interrupted.

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜, <𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖>?"

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨, 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧…

"𝙊𝙝, 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮?"

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣'𝙨> eyes flashed and looked toward Qin Tian , "𝙒𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚… 𝙐𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙌𝙞𝙣?"

Qin Tian just pointed out her mistakes!

She had all the reasons to back that the person must be Qin Tian.

However , <𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> simply smiled and shook his head.

"𝙉𝙤𝙥𝙚!"

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> was a little disappointed upon hearing this. "<𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖> , 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙢𝙚, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮."

"𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣?"

"𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙚, 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚. 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨!"

Smiling, <𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> looked towards <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> standing in the crowd,"<𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜>, 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 '𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩' 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣'𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 , 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩?"

"𝙎𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜>?"

"𝙎𝙤, 𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 <𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡?"

"𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩?"

"𝙉𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙮!"

Everyone was surprised by what <𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> said.

"𝙄 𝙖𝙢, <𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖 𝙎𝙪>!"

<𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> was feeling cocky but still remained calm.

He was the protagonist after all!

Even after continuously being stopped by 'some' person, he still got his chance.

<𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> nodded and said , "𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙙𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙥-𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚."

He wanted to get <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> and <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> along anyway.

After <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> got here, he had been noticing what Qin Tian had been doing.

Before, when Qin Tian told everyone not to reveal their gifts, he was a little surprised.

But he didn't think that Qin Tian did so on purpose.

Now, he wouldn't give up on such a good opportunity.

<𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> didn't like <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> .

But since her '𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖' wanted to, she couldn't refuse.

Just as everyone was thinking about their own things , <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> suddenly spoke, "<𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖 𝙎𝙪> , 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩."

"𝙒𝙝𝙮? 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚?"

<𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪> was confused.

He knew that his granddaughter's favorite hobby was playing the piano.

He tried really hard to get <𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> to show off in front of his granddaughter.

How come this kid didn't want to play it now?

"<𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖 𝙎𝙪> , 𝙄 𝙨𝙖𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 <𝙎𝙪 𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙣> 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 <𝙈𝙧. 𝙌𝙞𝙣> 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣, 𝙨𝙤 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 <𝙈𝙧. 𝙌𝙞𝙣> 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩."

<𝙇𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙚𝙣𝙜> was being very polite, but he still couldn't hide his urge to laugh.

'𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦? 𝘐'𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵!'

'𝘗𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘰? 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘐'𝘮 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦!'

'𝘠𝘰𝘶, 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘦!'
