"Why do I have to go sightseeing or something with someone I don't know during the New Year holiday?”
On the morning of the third day of the new year, when Ain learned from Marquis Randall that her new year was ruined, she was so angry that she ignored the sympathetic looks of the servants and roared in front of everyone.
"Ain, you've met her. She's the daughter of the biggest sponsor of your concert in Germany last month.”
"Who would remember! Besides, it's her family's business to come here for sightseeing. Why should I sacrifice my vacation to accompany her?”
Ain complained in a reasonable manner, but it was a pity that the requests in this world were not unconditionally accepted as long as they were reasonable.
"This is not something you can reject just because you reject it, Ain.”Marquis Randall tried to convince him with reason." In this industry, sponsors cannot be easily offended. You should understand this.”
"So be it, I don't care about the sponsors!”
"You're already at this age. Don't be so willful.”
"No means no!"
He sighed heavily. He also knew that it was almost impossible to persuade this stubborn grandson. "It's Liu. I'm counting on you."
When Marquis Randall finally surrendered and turned his gaze to Ling Shiliu, Ain stared at him in disbelief.
"Are you involved in this too?"
"Hmm…"
Ling Shiliu avoided Ayin's gaze guiltily.
"It's flow!" Too much!
No matter how slow Ain was, she could more or less sense why her grandfather wanted her to do this. It would not be purely for him to accompany her, and it was even more impossible for her to ask him to accompany her without any purpose.
If it was just his grandfather's personal opinion, it would not matter. He did not expect Ling Shiliu to get involved in this mess and even do the work of persuasion without hesitation.
" Young Master Ain, Miss Felita is a visiting guest, so…"
When he thought that he should explain the whole thing and keep his promise to the marquis, Ain interrupted him with a sad expression.
" How could you!?"
"Eh?" Ling Shiliu was stunned for a moment as he did not understand the reason for his resentment.
"How can you help others to deal with me like this?”
Ain's fierce condemnation shocked everyone present.
He was merely helping to persuade him to accept an " obligation " that could not be rejected, but he was called an accomplice. Anyone would feel that this statement was unfair.
All in all, Ling Shiliu was to blame for doting on Ain too much, causing him to lose his temper easily whenever he was unhappy. At least half of the people in the hall had the same opinion.
"Young Master Ain…"
"I don't want to hear it!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ain waved away Ling Shiliu's outstretched hand, turned around, and ran out of the hall.
Ling Shiliu found Ain in the well-lit practice room, who was silent and unwilling to look at him. Ling Shiliu couldn't help but smile bitterly and quietly walked to his side to sit down.
"Ai Yin."
There was no response.
Pouting her lips, Ain sat upright by the window, as unmoving as a statue.
"Ai Yin." He called out softly again and found that he was still ignoring him.
Ling Shiliu sighed to himself. He knew why Ain was angry, but wasn't it a little too willful to be angry over such a trivial reason?
"I've already reported to Old Master just now. I originally planned to take you for a ride in the suburbs tomorrow. Anyway, the New Year's recital has already ended, so it's good to go out occasionally to relax.”After successfully drawing Ain's attention back to himself from the window, Ling Shiliu noticed that he was looking back at him from the corner of his eye, but he deliberately shrugged his shoulders and laughed secretly." But since you don't even want to hear my voice, then we'll just have to drop the matter!”
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
"Mmmm-"
She wanted to stop him from leaving but could not think of a way. She could only reach out and grab the corner of his clothes.
"What is it?" Ling Shiliu pretended to be surprised as he turned his head, but he could not hold back his laughter.
Her creamy skin was suddenly dyed with the color of the sunset, and the heat in her body was so high that it seemed to be coming out from the top of her head. Her shyness and helplessness made Ain stutter and unable to say a word. After she made up her mind to look up, she realized the mischievous look on Ling Shiliu's face.
"You're so bad!"
Realizing that he had been played, he could not help but look away again in a fit of pique.
"I didn't say anything." Ling Shiliu pretended to be dumb and raised his eyebrows.
"You only know how to bully me…"
"Who dares to bully you? Eldest Young Master." he teased.
"It's flow!"
"Alright, alright!" Spreading his hands was a sign of surrender. He would only show such a childish and relaxed side when he was alone with Ain." How about tomorrow? Do you want to go for a ride with me?"
"Of course!" Giving him a " is there a need to ask " emoji, Ain nodded excitedly.
"So, about Miss Felita-"
"I don't care about that kind of thing!" Rudely interrupting Ling Shiliu's topic, Ain's face darkened and she turned her head away.
"Ai Yin."
"No means no! Why must you force me to do such a boring thing?”
Ling Shiliu secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that this was not an easy task, but this was also why Marquis Randall had asked him for help instead of others.
" I know you don't like this," Ain said in a tactful tone, which made her feel that Ling Shiliu was on her side. She immediately turned around and nodded." But it's not a wise decision to offend the sponsor. Besides, Miss Felita just wants you to accompany her to Paris during her visit, because you're the person she's most familiar with in France."”He did not dare to tell the truth.
If Ayn knew why Kasley had asked his daughter to visit him, and if she knew that Miss Felita had a crush on him, who knew what kind of uproar it would cause!
Just imagining the scene of Ain acting up made Ling Shiliu decide that it was better to hide some dangerous facts at this stage.
"Then, besides tomorrow, you have to take me out to play again!”She furrowed her fair brows and her pair of beautiful green eyes turned slyly.
"This is the condition of the exchange?"
"Yes!" Without hesitation, Ain nodded vigorously. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her request.
Ling Shiliu sighed helplessly. He knew better than anyone else that in the end, he could only choose to tolerate Ain's willfulness.
"Alright, I give in to you." With a bitter smile, he sat down next to the smiling Ain again.
As soon as his buttocks touched the cypress windowsill, Ain pounced on him like a gust of wind, sticking to him with both hands and feet.
As usual, he gently caressed Ain's soft and smooth mid-length hair in a doting manner, accepting his call for human feelings and warmth.
Unwillingly, she shared an afternoon tea with Felita Tant Kasley, who had come from afar. The topic was so boring that Ain felt like she was about to doze off.
However, for the sake of his promise with Ling Shiliu, he opened his eyes and straightened his shoulders. No matter what, he had to endure this period of drowsiness.
From the beginning to the end, he almost never said a complete sentence.
To Felita's questions, he only responded vaguely with simple words or body language such as nodding and nodding. His attitude was so absent-minded that it was difficult not to notice, and he never took the initiative to talk about anything.
If there were times when Ain's attitude was positive, it would only be when Ling Shiliu, who was standing beside him, occasionally joined in the conversation. Other than that, he ignored Phyllida's questions, and his cold expression was obvious on his face.
Felita was not a self-righteous fool. No matter how she tried to justify herself, she could feel Ain's indifference.
It was obvious that Ain's attention was completely focused on the bodyguard beside him.
Just like now-
"Ain, can you recommend some places near Paris that are more representative and suitable for a day trip?”Felita tried to stir up the scene again.
"I don't know. It's better to ask Shiliu about this kind of thing.”Ain didn't even glance at her. She shrugged coldly and took a sip of her earl grey tea. After turning her head, her tone was completely different from before. It was filled with indescribable sweetness. "It's Liu. What do you think? Which place do you think is worth visiting?”
As expected! He immediately directed the conversation to the bodyguard.
Felita frowned, obviously dissatisfied that she was not the most eye-catching person. She was clearly the visitor, and should be the main character of this mini tea party!
"Aren't you a French man yourself? Ain, you should know this very well.”
She tried her best to get Ain to pay attention to her, but the truth was that he did not even turn his head, as if he was complaining to the bodyguard.
"Even so, I only have the impression of practicing the violin since I was born. I don't have the chance to go out to play or go on an outing.”
"Young Master Ain."
Ah! Why did the bodyguard interrupt? She was the one talking to Angel Ain!
"You've been to a few scenic spots worth visiting, haven't you? How about introducing him to Miss Felita?”
Ling Shiliu gave Ain a threatening smile, asking him to put more effort into the conversation. Ain, who was slightly dissatisfied with this, stuck out her tongue at him mischievously.
Even though he was secretly rolled his eyes at her, he still ignored the girl who should have been noticed.
Knowing that Ain's willingness to spend time with Miss Felita was already the limit of his tolerance, Ling Shiliu did not have the heart to force him to do something he was unwilling to do.
However, no matter what, the visitor was still a guest. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was rude for him to blatantly ignore the other party's attitude.
He winked at her, trying to remind her of the etiquette she should have, but the stubborn Ayn refused to turn around and look at Felita.
In the end, the long afternoon tea finally ended in an awkward and depressing atmosphere.
That night, Ain immediately vented her extreme dissatisfaction on her performance.
He no longer needed a teacher to teach him. He glared at the man who was deliberately ignoring his anger and pulled the bowstring in his right hand angrily.
Suddenly, a crisp sound startled him. Before he realized what was going to happen, he felt a sharp pain in his left hand that was pressing the strings.
"Oh…"
"Ai Yin!"
Ling Shiliu, who was also shocked, rushed forward and grabbed the violin in his hand.
"It hurts!" Only now did she feel the real pain. Ain stared at her fair fingers wrapped in Ling Shiliu's hand.
" Who taught you to pull so hard…" Ling Shiliu sighed, half worried and half relieved. He used a clean white handkerchief to press down on Ain's left index finger, which had been injured by the broken string.
"Humph!"
Evidently expressing his displeasure, Ain did not hold back in expressing his dissatisfaction with the mini tea party that was deliberately arranged in the afternoon.
"Does it hurt?"
"I'd rather lose a finger than meet that useless young lady again!”
"That means you don't want to go for a ride with me?”
"When did I say such a thing?”
Ling Shiliu really knew how to deal with Ain's willfulness. He sighed slowly and shook his head as if it was a pity.
"Didn't I promise you that as long as you keep Miss Felita company, I'll take you out to play? However, since you can't do what you promised me, it means that you have the resolve to stay at home and practice the piano.”
"That's not true! I just…don't want to accompany her!"
"We're just chatting. I didn't ask you to do anything.”
"I'm not a gigolo!"
Ain's overly intense reaction and unexpectedly ridiculous retort almost made Ling Shiliu unable to hold back his laughter, but he knew that laughing now would only win him a roll of his eyes and an even more stubborn answer.
"Ai Yin." Since reasoning didn't work, he would use emotion to tempt her with benefits! "Do you want to go to Marseille for a holiday?"
"Are you going with me?" Ain's eyes immediately lit up.
"Of course."
"Then I want it!" The cute way she nodded her head made Ling Shiliu think of a newborn puppy.
"If you want to go on vacation, you have to work hard to accompany Miss Felita on her one-day trip to Paris tomorrow.”He immediately stated his conditions.
"Huh?" This was the last thing Ain wanted to do.
"If you don't want it, then forget it." Ling Shiliu shrugged and turned to leave.
"It's flow!" Ain grabbed the corner of his shirt without hesitation. Seeing his expressionless face when he turned around, he pursed his lips." Alright…alright! I'll just go. Is this okay?”The tone of his reply was naturally quite unwilling!
It couldn't be helped. Liu clearly knew that he couldn't resist this kind of temptation, but he always used the same trick to lure him into going to the tiger mountain, knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain. Of course, it was wrong of him to fall for it every time. However, if he did not seize this opportunity, he would not be able to have an open date with Liu. Besides, Liu was a super workaholic. If she didn't take advantage of this rare opportunity, she would have to wait until he was free to bring him out to play. She didn't know how long she would have to wait.
"Good boy." Ling Shiliu gently patted his head and smiled." I will find a way to ask Miss Barton to arrange a longer vacation. Although it will take a while, I will definitely take you on vacation." Marseille is a good place, but is there anywhere else you want to go?”
"Marseille will do."
In fact, as long as he could be with Shi Liu, it didn't matter even if he stayed at home. However, if he stayed at home, Shi Liu would inevitably be busy with his duties. Therefore, he would only take advantage of the opportunity to go out and play to accompany him 24 hours a day.#
