Chapter 247 - Care (Part-3)

On a single thought, Liu Juan wanted to go after him as he had first asked her to come out to have dinner and now, he was the one who had left without eating dinner instead. Didn't the rule of death apply to him?

But on second thought, she gave up on her first thought. He was the one behaving rudely with his brother, then why was he putting on an act of being upset?

It was not the first time that Mo Jiang treated Mo Jiannan like this. Mo Jiang always gave orders and if Mo Jinnan questioned against it, he was either made to shut up or was being thrown out.

The end result would be just like Mo Jiang wanted. So what was there to be upset about?

Like everyone, Liu Juan also felt pity for Mo Jinnan and held a strong detest towards Mo Jiang.

Liu Juan was immersed in her thoughts when she heard a helpless sigh behind her.

Liu Juan found the housekeeper standing there. Of course, the housekeeper had also seen how Mo Jiang had mistreated his brother.

Liu Juan thought that the housekeeper's thoughts would be in similarity with hers but since when did Liu Juan's expectation become the reality of life?

Liu Juan heard the housekeeper murmur, "I feel pity for Master Mo, how I wish... Sigh!" Housekeeper turned back to walk away to do her work.

Master Mo?

Did the housekeeper call Mo Jiang, Master Mo?

She felt pity for Mo Jiang but why?

Liu Juan had questions, but she didn't probe further as she didn't want to cross the line which was set between her and Mo Jiang.

After Liu Juan had a light dinner and was about to walk back to her room, she heard the sound of a faint melody.

A lingering pain could be heard in the music. Subconsciously, she walked towards the source of the sound and found Mo Jiang was playing the piano.

Strangely enough, Liu Juan had been living since the past one month, and she didn't expect Mo Jiang to have an interest in things other than his business, be it Mo Corporation or his underworld business.

The music was full of pain but so good; all the rhythm was flowing like the breeze roaming over the ocean.

Liu Juan continued to stand there as if her soul was captured by the music. She closed her eyes and was engrossed in the music. Her fingers were tapping on her jeans as she didn't realize that she was humming music but forthwith, the music stopped.

A frown formed on her brows and she unhappily opened her eyes and looked towards Mo Jiang with her eyes full of grievance.

"Come sit here." Mo Jiang didn't turn back to look as he already knew she was standing there.

He turned the page of the music note when he heard her say, "I never knew that you know how to play the piano." Liu Juan walked towards him to sit on the same bench with him.

She couldn't help but let her fingers move to touch the keys of the piano.

"My mother loved to play it, she taught me." Mo Jiang stopped at the page which he was looking for and replied.

Liu Juan just nodded her head in acknowledgment but her eyes were still lingering on the keys in fascination.

Then she suddenly heard him. "Want to play?"

"Huh?" Liu Juan jolted as she looked up at him.

But then without waiting for her reply, he held her arms and pulled her to sit next to him. His arm encircled around her wrist to hold her hand in his.

"This is the easy note. Come let's play it." Mo Jiang guided her fingers to play the music disregarding their closeness.

Liu Juan had never been close to any man as her past always disgusted her when she came closer to any man but surprisingly to her, she wasn't feeling disgusted to be so close to Mo Jiang, although she was awestruck.

Her eyes gazed at his face and it was the first time that she realized how handsome he was. 

His thick brows, pointed nose, thin lips, tight jaws, and his eyes had a gentle look as he continued to play the music.

While noticing the details of his facial expressions, she didn't notice that she had started to look at him until his sight caught her glance.

"I know I am handsome, you don't have to look at me like this."

Immediately, she snapped her neck back to the keys of the piano in embarrassment. A faint smile appeared on his lips and he continued to play the music.

Liu Juan was a good learner; once she understood the synchronization of the keys, her fingers automatically moved without his help. The beautiful music filled the room and a sense of achievement was shown in her eyes. 

"Let's try something more beautiful." Mo Jiang said and again he guided her fingers back to the same music which he had been playing before.

"This music has so much pain." Liu Juan couldn't help but comment.

"My mother composed this music to erase her pain."

'Pain again.' Liu Juan thought to herself but her heart ached upon hearing his words.

"She must have been a good lady." Liu Juan murmured but enough for him to hear her.

"Hmmm...She was, but why do you say so?" Mo Jiang asked while his fingers continued to guide her fingers on the keys.

"Good people are always in pain." Liu Juan's twinkling eyes looked at him at which he looked back into her eyes. Unanticipatedly, she saw the pain in his eyes.

'He isn't a good man though.' Liu Juan wondered.
