Chapter 13: Suns.h.i.+ne Let’s add some music to this drama, shall we? ?

"What's going on?"

The stiff atmosphere in the living room was broken when the Su couple came down the stairs.

Su Chenghai looked at the circle of people in the crowd in bafflement. While his daughters were dancing, he and his wife had been roped upstairs for some important business discussions with the head of Zhao family, Zhao Wei. However, once they went upstairs, Zhao Wei was instead probing and putting out feelers about their business. In the end, after beating around the bush for a long time, he had not even given them any significant information. Then, just as each of them both felt that something was not right, at that moment, Zhao Wei received a message and immediately bid them a farewell. He swiftly went back downstairs towards the living room.

Trailing behind Zhao Wei, the couple came down and saw this current scene in the living room.

Their eldest daughter Su Jin and the young gentleman of the Lu family were currently surrounded in the centre of the room while their youngest daughter, Lin Xiyue, was standing not too far away from them, holding onto a bracelet that shone brightly in blue. Yet, the crowd's gaze was upon a girl wearing a purple c.o.c.ktail dress.

Han Xuelan.

The daughter of the Han family's second son, Han Lei.

Seeing Su Chenghai and Han Meng arrive, Lin Xiyue's eyes shone and she was about to speak. However, Han Xuelan s.n.a.t.c.hed up the opportunity instead.

"Aunt, Uncle." The girl dressed in purple had placed her crossed hands on her lower abdomen with an elegant and gentle smile on her face. "Everyone was mentioning how generous young Master Lu was to actually gift my younger cousins this Gemini bracelet. Su Jin Biaomei's is red and Xiyue Biaomei's is blue- isn't this such a fair treatment for the both of them(1)."

(1) biǎo mèi ( 表妹 ) – It refers to the younger female cousin via the mother's family. Here, Xuelan is subtly highlighting her seniority of age too.

These words were expressed gently and politely, but what kind of person was Su Chenghai? To have been at the helm of the Su clan for twenty-two years and weathering through the constant s.h.i.+fts of the business world, how would he be unable to see through a little girl's ploy? Although Han Meng had never had a hand in the company business, she had grown up in the Han family with a strict father and an unloving mother; her ability to comprehend people's true intentions was definitely on par with Su Chenghai.

Therefore, as the husband and wife glanced at each other, they immediately knew what the other was thinking.

"The Gemini?" As he raised an eyebrow, Su Chenghai strode towards the centre and looked at Su Jin's wrist. He laughed as he patted Lu Xi's shoulder, "so the Gemini was bought by this young fellow. I was remarking to myself who had such great insight to have s.n.a.t.c.hed away the birthday present that I had my eye upon."

"I'm flattered, Uncle(2)." Lu Xi politely nodded and his lips curled, "I had no idea that I had s.n.a.t.c.hed away Uncle's present."

(2) bó fù ( 伯父 ) – It usually means the father's elder brother, however, in this case, it is a term of respect for older man which is extremely important in Chinese culture, wherein a younger person does not call a person their senior by name.

"How could it be considered as s.n.a.t.c.hing." Su Chenghai candidly laughed, "it has, in the end, landed in its right place- worn on my daughter's wrist."

Han Meng received the bracelet from Lin Xiyue and placed it on her wrist. She then reached out to pull onto Su Jin's hand and brought both of her daughter's hands together. Beaming, she praised, "look, how beautiful." After saying that, she looked towards Lu Xi and remarked, "I've troubled Xiao Lu too, for keeping my words in mind by showing consideration towards these two girls' emotions. Xiao Jin and Xiyue are both very pleased."

Faced with praises from his future-in-laws, Lu Xi was somewhat helpless. His own witty remarks were obstructed by their goodwill, so what else could he do? As he chuckled, he answered, "Aunt Su's words, naturally I would remember them faithfully.(3)"

(3) bó mǔ ( 伯母 ) – It usually means the wife of father's elder brother, or simply put, the aunt. However, in this case, it is a term of respect for older woman who is about the age of one's mother which is extremely important in Chinese culture, wherein a younger person does not call a person their senior by name.

Han Meng laughed as she nodded and her eyes flashed with slight approval.

As the crowd looked at the family's harmonious atmosphere, even if they had had any sort of ill thoughts, they could only suppress them. After all, his future-in-laws had already mentioned that upon her words, he was being considerate to both of their daughters. How could they, as outsiders, have anything else to say about it?

The crowd slowly dispersed.

"Who knows if Su Jin Biaomei is truly…" This lowly muttered statement echoed in the ears of the audience, thus the crowd that was about to leave halted and turned back. They then saw the girl in her purple dress seem to have realised her slip of tongue, and reached out to cover her own lips to quell the rest of her sentence from slipping out.

Su Chenghai glanced at his wife and both of them frowned. In their hearts, the same thought floated into their minds; the little girl of the Han family's second son, did she enjoy picking fault with people?

Su Jin clicked her tongue, she had just seen a play where a love rival was horribly defeated and simply raised her eyebrow. Inwardly, she lamented; this girl truly did not relent and kept pressing on. Doing this had no benefits for her but she just did not want her, Su Jin, to have a good life, right? Only, with these circ.u.mstances, even if they denied this lie, others would somewhat think that they were just covering up the truth.

As she thought of this, a hint of annoyance shone through her eyes.

"Initially," Lu Xi suddenly smiled and looked at Han Xuelan as his peach blossom eyes filled with faint joy, "I followed Aunt Su's advice and prepared to give Jin'er some other things privately. However, it seems that Miss Han is rather interested?"

"I…" Merriment overflowed the man's distinct and handsome features and in his peach blossom eyes, there was a spread of happiness. Yet, Han Xuelan could clearly see icy-cold indifference in that pair of eyes. She bit her lip and timidly replied in a low voice, "I only…"

She had only begun to speak but was interrupted by the man's clear and bright smile.

"Therefore, I will bring these presents out for everyone to see." With a warm smile on Lu Xi's countenance, "in any case, these presents are not the kind that can only be opened in private."

Anything else that Han Xuelan wanted to say was squashed down and she pinched the hand holding onto the hem of her skirt tightly, her fingertips turning white. Seeing the man's calm and composed demeanor, she felt restless. Could he have really made some plans earlier on? Unless… In such a short period of time, his deep-rooted feelings towards her had truly grown to this point?

Su Jin, she… what grounds did she have to deserve this?!

No one understood her indignation, as everyone's attention was drawn to the man who stood straight and tall in the centre. With his empty hands, how could he conjure a present out from thin air?

Unheeding the crowd's misgivings, Lu Xi loosened his tie and unfastened the first b.u.t.ton of his s.h.i.+rt.

Su Jin stared at that pair of slender and fair hands and suddenly thought of that time in the lecture room where the man had revealed half of a red string and a hint of the glossy l.u.s.tre of jade.

Noticing the girl's gaze upon him, Lu Xi grinned and pulled out the jade pendant that was around his neck.

With a diameter of approximately three centimeters, the round white jade had some decorative designs outlined on both sides. In the middle of the jade, there appeared to be some sort of engraved fretwork. The entire stone shone with glossy l.u.s.tre under the lights.

Moving a few steps forward, Lu Xi stopped before Su Jin. With a light pull, he drew out her right hand and placed the jade pendant in her palm.

The jade placed in her hand was warm and did not seem to have the lightly cool sensation of other jades. As her fingertips lightly twitched, Su Jin thought that the warmth was probably from his body.

"This piece of jade has been with me since I was born." Looking at the girl's shocked expression, Lu Xi lightly smiled and his voice was filled with gentleness, "Jin'er, I hope that you will always have it with you."

Su Jin was in disbelief. As she glanced at the stone, she then found out that the fretwork engraved on the jade was a tiny word, Xi.

This was actually… that jade?

In the original work, Lu Xi had a jade pendant that he had always worn on his body. Until he was with the female lead, he had never given it to anyone either.

Most probably, he had brought this piece of jade out to refute Han Xuelan. Su Jin bit her lip, this jade was too precious, she should not keep it. However, in these circ.u.mstances, if she refused, she would have frittered away his good intentions.

Oh well, once the soiree ended, she would return it to him. Once she settled upon this, with a curl of her lips, she nodded.

Seeing her nod, Lu Xi's inky eyes lit up and the smile on the edge of his lips became even more resplendent.

"This is the first one." He swiftly withdrew his hand as he continued.

At this moment, together with the audience, Su Jin was surprised too.

There was a second present?

"What?" Su Jin asked blankly.

If he had prepared in advance, then why did he still take this jade pendant out?

The girl's usually gorgeous and colourful phoenix eyes blinked and like the silhouette of a light feather that floated down, her thick and delicately long lashes that were curled up, slightly evoked a faint feeling of excitement upon one's heart. Although she had a bewitching look, however in this instance, her expression was innocent and pure like a young child.

Lu Xi could not help but reach out to pat the crown of her hair.

Afterward, with a slight turn of his lips, he turned around and walked towards a corner not too far away.

The crowd's footsteps followed and moved along with that lanky figure. At last, they stopped before a piano.

Lu Xi straightened his necktie and then uprightly sat in front of the piano.

"Ever since the first moment I laid my eyes on you, this melody has been resounding in my ears." As his slender fingers played on the ivory-white piano keys, he lightly expressed, "it was only yesterday that I was finally able to write it down in its entirety. Jin'er, this is my last birthday present for you, I hope you will like it."

Written it down? Su Jin was shocked, Lu Xi could play the piano? And he was able to compose too?

This was written by him? The audience thought in astonishment.

Without waiting for their astonishment to settle down, the crisp and graceful sounds of the piano echoed in the living room.

From the beginning of the prelude, this piece's musical style was deep and gloomy.

Even though she had changed the core of her soul and was now a greenhorn, Su Jin's piano skills were not bad. So, her experience with the piano and her music appreciation skills still remained.

As the piano was played, Su Jin gradually immersed in the music.

The tone of Lu Xi's piano piece was filled with the conflict between dense darkness and countless negative emotions. The atmosphere in the living room seemed to be slightly depressing.

Then at some point, a sudden burst of light seemed to permeate through the melody. At first, it was a little feeble. Then, this little light gradually strengthened with the strength of nuclear fusion that ignited through the twilight.

All of those negative emotions began to change, transforming into sweetness, joy, adoration and… there was also a tiny bit of apprehension.

She did not know why, but for some reason, Su Jin suddenly thought of his movie that she had watched with him just a few days ago.

Finally, the light became richer and more powerful than ever before and the darkness was aflame and burnt away until none of it remained. Endless sunlight had flooded the entire world.

Everyone present was floored.

As Lin Xiyue listened to the poignant notes of the piano, her gaze was glossy bright.

Within her earshot, she suddenly heard a charming and girlish voice.

"Envious? Jealous? All this should have been yours. It was her who seized what was yours by birthright and stole everything away from you."

Lin Xiyue was stupefied and spun around to look.

The girl dressed in purple stood beside her and was obviously conversing with her. Yet the girl's eyes were looking at Su Jin who was standing before the piano with a deadly glare. Although her inflection was soft and gentle, it made one practically shudder.

Wordlessly, Lin Xiyue distanced herself from her.

Did she think she would be fooled? That she would fall for such a blatant ruse to sow dissension between her and her sister? Each person had their own path: if this path was meant to be hers, then it was definitely hers. Even if there was no Su Jin, Lu Xi may not necessarily be hers.

Envious yes, but not jealous.

After all, one day, she would meet with the happiness that belonged to her.

At the apex of the dazzling spotlight, the sounds from the piano spontaneously came to an end.

As the man sitting before the piano played the final note, he sat upright and lightly smiled.

"It's called 'Suns.h.i.+ne'.

Speaking with a gentle and deep voice, he was not outdone by the timbre of the piano. As he raised his head slightly, with every ounce of his sincerity, he looked towards the person who stood before the piano. The tip of her ears was slightly flushed red, and those beautiful peach blossom eyes of his were filled with tenderness.

His girl.

His suns.h.i.+ne.
