Chapter 1624 - A Surprise For Her
Chapter 1624: A Surprise For Her
Luo Di told Tang Xi the secret that she had buried in her heart. She thought that he would be happy when he found out that Ling Hui was worried about him before she read the diary. She did not expect him to be even more silent and cold.
His handsome face exuded a deep and complicated expression that Luo Di could not understand.
Luo Di twisted her fingers nervously, not knowing what she had said to make Tang Xi unhappy.
“Brother Tang Xi, you like Ling Hui very much. Why…”
Before Luo Di could finish, she was interrupted by Tang Xi’s calm voice. “Tenth Princess, if you keep mentioning her, I don’t think there’s a need to eat this meal anymore.”
“Alright, I won’t talk about her anymore.” A shy smile appeared on Luo Di’s pure and beautiful face. “Tang Xi, after you’re discharged from the hospital tomorrow, can you stay here for a few more days?”
Tang Xi looked at Luo Di’s expectant and careful gaze and his tensed expression relaxed a little. “Before I got into the accident, I already told you clearly that I only treat you as my younger sister.”
Luo Di’s eyelashes fluttered as she nodded, pouting. “I know. I want to stop liking you immediately but I still need time!” With that said, she mustered up her courage and glared at him. “I asked you to stay for a few days not because of that. As a friend, I want to be a good host!”
Tang Xi pursed his sexy scarlet lips. “There are still many things to settle in the company. I’ll come again next time if I have the chance.”
Luo Di was slightly disappointed. “Alright!”
The two of them arrived at a high-end western restaurant. Before they arrived, Tang Xi had sent a message to Fang Ye asking him to book the entire restaurant.
Although he only treated Luo Di as his younger sister, she had put in a lot of effort when he was hospitalized and Tang Xi had seen it.
They entered the restaurant.
Seeing that Tang Xi had booked the entire venue, Luo Di was extremely surprised. “Tang Xi, is it just the two of us?”
Tang Xi smirked. “There’s someone else later.”
Luo Di pouted. He only treated her as his younger sister and was not leaving any room for her imagination!
The two of them sat by the French windows and ordered their food. The lights in the restaurant suddenly dimmed.
Luo Di jumped.
She looked out of the French windows and saw that there were stars outside but there was no blackout. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Are you that unlucky? We just came and the power went out in the restaurant?”
Tang Xi’s tall body leaned against the back of the chair lazily, his eyebrows raised slightly as he smiled. “Close your eyes. There will be a surprise soon.”
Although Luo Di was puzzled, she listened to Tang Xi and closed her eyes obediently.
A moment later, she heard a soothing and melodious piano sound. From the prelude, she could tell that this was created by her very favorite pianist, Mr Ory. Moreover, this person could play it so deeply and touch the hearts of people, exactly like her idol, Mr Ory.
As if thinking of something, Luo Di suddenly opened her eyes.
On the curved stage of the restaurant, there was a piano. A man of mixed-blood in a black and white tuxedo was sitting in front of the piano, playing the piano piece that Luo Di usually liked to listen to.
Luo Di widened her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
She blinked and asked Tang Xi excitedly, “Is he really Mr Ory?”
Tang Xi smiled and nodded. “Thank you for your hard work, Tenth Princess. This is my gift to you.”
Tears of excitement and joy filled Luo Di’s eyes. Mr Ory was usually very busy and his appearance fee was very expensive. He must have spent a lot of effort to invite Mr Ory to play for her!
His gift was very specific. Not only did it move her, but it also avoided ambiguity, unlike some rich men who would give jewelry and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Luo Di also saw clearly that he really only regarded her as his younger sister.
Luo Di raised her glass and smiled sincerely. “Thank you, Brother Tang Xi.”
Although her crush had come to an end, she did not regret liking him.
“You must be happy.” Luo Di raised her chin slightly and downed the liquid in the glass.
…
In the taxi.
Ling Hui looked at the scene in the restaurant.
She could not hear what Tang Xi and Luo Di were saying, but she saw the world-famous pianist, Mr Ory, playing for them. To be exact, he was playing for Luo Di. Tears filled Luo Di’s eyes and she looked like she was about to cry.
Tang Xi really understood the girl’s thoughts.
Luo Di must be very touched now!
Ling Hui watched as the two of them raised their glasses and drank, chatting happily. She felt like a bottle of mixed emotions had been knocked over in her heart.
The taxi driver saw Ling Hui staring at the man and woman in the restaurant and guessed something. He sighed and persuaded her, “Young lady, you’re so pretty, why do you like a man who has a girlfriend? Look, the two of them are so sweet. Even I think it’s beautiful. You should let go and give them your blessings.”
Ling Hui smiled in a daze.
Should she give them her blessings?
…
An hour later.
Tang Xi and Luo Di came out of the western restaurant after dinner.
Before coming out, Luo Di had taken several photos with Mr Oyi and she had even gotten his autographed album.
Luo Di was over the moon and was no different from a child. She bounced around Tang Xi and even danced around him.
Ling Hui could tell that Luo Di was genuinely happy!
The taxi driver saw the two of them leaving and looked at Ling Hui, who was in the back seat, through the rearview mirror. “Miss, are you still following them?”
Ling Hui pursed her red lips tightly and hummed.
Luo Di’s car sent Tang Xi to the hospital. After the two of them said goodbye, Luo Di’s car left.
Tang Xi had his hands in his pockets as he walked toward the inpatient department lazily.
Ling Hui watched him walk into the hospital before she got off the car.
Tang Xi was staying in a private hospital for nobles. The greenery at the entrance was quite nice, with all kinds of flowers and plants, as well as a fountain.
Ling Hui sat on the chair by the fountain and hugged her thin body, feeling extremely empty and lost.
After some time, the man’s low and cold voice sounded above her head. “Miss Ling, how many more times do I have to say it before you will leave?”
Ling Hui looked up at the man playing with a lighter in front of her. She stood up from the chair. “I need a reason to leave.”
Hearing Ling Hui’s words, Tang Xi’s thin and beautiful lips curled into a mocking smile as though he had heard a good joke. “Didn’t I tell you the reason in the ward just now? I don’t have any feelings for you anymore. I don’t want to give up the entire forest for you anymore. Don’t you understand?”
Ling Hui moved closer to Tang Xi. “Then look into my eyes and say it again. Tell me that you don’t like me anymore.”
Tang Xi scoffed and raised his eyebrows arrogantly. “Miss Ling, I didn’t expect you to be so childish. Do you think I will change my mind just by looking into your eyes?”
With that said, Tang Xi looked into Ling Hui’s eyes.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Tang Xi’s hand in his pocket clenched into a fist unconsciously.
