Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it any longer and blurted out these four words. However, Xi Mucheng only stared at her coldly before making a joke that didn't seem like a joke, "Insomnia is indeed a disease, it's not very easy to treat."

"CEO Xi, can you really stop playing?"

"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"

"…"

He did seem like he was joking with her, but she really couldn't digest such a 'serious' joke.

Insomnia? Why didn't I see you have this disease before?

Was it really insomnia or was it intentional?

Xia Xiaoling was about to go crazy because of him. She had no idea what was going on in this man's mind. Even if what he said was true, even if he really couldn't sleep, so what if he could only fall asleep by listening to the tune he played?

Could he let her play for him for the rest of her life?

To play all his life, all his life...

The moment this thought popped into his mind, Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned. If this could really happen, would it be happiness or unhappiness?

Her mind was still in a mental battle, but the pallid face beside her had begun to arrange 'work' for her: 'Play that' Adirina by the Water '!'

He liked to listen to that song, and he just wanted to hear her play it herself...

"Why?"

Xi Mu City didn't seem to understand her words, but her cold gaze landed on her face, "Why what?"

Xia Xiaoling raised her face and proudly looked at him. "Just treat it as insomnia. Only my zither music can be treated. This can be considered a rotten reason, but you threw away the business card I received. What are you trying to do?"

Originally, the atmosphere was quite good. At the very least, when Xi Mu Cheng saw her walking towards him with a clean face and obediently sitting beside him, he felt quite satisfied. However …

This woman really shouldn't have brought up such a depressing topic at this time.

"So, for those business cards, you came here to throw yourself into her arms?"

Cen Leng's man's gaze turned cold. Xia Xiaoxiao instantly felt that the air around her was freezing to zero. Even so, she still insisted on an answer, "Don't change the topic, answer me."

"What if I told you that I was only willing?"

Not expecting to hear such an answer, Xia Xiaoling got up from the piano stool and said, "You …" Your spirit is sick! "

Hearing that, the man raised his head and looked at her. His dark eyes turned cold. "Woman, you're getting bolder and bolder."

She was standing, he was sitting...

In terms of aura, she should have been better than him by a bit. However, when the man cast a sidelong glance at her, she felt as if thousands of arrows were being shot at her. The two hands hanging at the sides of the piano suddenly pressed down on the keys, and the piano emitted a long, high-pitched, ear-piercing noise.

Accompanied by the sharp voice, she said furiously, "Xi Mu City, have I endured you for a long time?"

"Is that so? "So what?"

After saying that, the man's gaze shifted before landing on the ten slender fingers that she pressed down on the zither.

Xia Xiaoxiao was truly a patient person, but with her ability, Xi Mu Cheng was able to challenge her bottom limit, forcing her to curse.

In the end, she endured it because she knew that this man wasn't willing to take it. She didn't say anything unnecessary and just said, "I just want the name card that I obtained through my own hard work."

"Oh?"

His attitude was unclear. The word 'oh' might have been an admission, or it might have been just a phrase. She was slightly agitated again, but she suppressed her temper and asked him softly, "Is it in your hands?"

"So what if I am? "So what if it isn't?"

The answer was still ambiguous. Xia Xiaoxiao no longer had the patience to guess. She directly reached out to him, "Return it to me."

That was the first step for her to muster up the courage to enter the business world. It was also the first step for her to revitalize the Xia family.

He didn't seem to hear what she was saying. He put the warm milk back into her hand and said, "Drink it. Then play the song obediently."

"I want a business card."

"Only obedient girls get rewards."

Xia Xiaoling, "…"

Reward? That was clearly her item …

But if she understood correctly, he meant that if she drank the milk obediently, played the tune he wanted to hear, and coaxed him to sleep, he might return the card to her.

Just because of this, Xia Xiaoxiao had no choice but to compromise.

After gulping down the last drop of milk, Xia Xiaoling couldn't help but frown.

Milk was a good thing, but she didn't like it. However, was there any room for negotiation in front of Xi Mu Cheng? If you don't like to drink, you have to drink. If you don't like to play, you have to play. If you don't like to do, you have to do it. If you don't like to accept, you have to accept everything.

He was just this tyrannical, just this domineering. So, it really wasn't that he changed, but that she was no longer the person he wanted to be gentle to …

Putting down the cup of milk in his hand, Xia Xiaoling slowly sat back down on the piano stool.

As soon as his fingers touched the keyboard, Xi Mu Cheng was the first to move. His finger technique was smoother and more skillful than the other. Each of his notes seemed to be jumping along with his fingers …

It was not the first time that a man played a piano, but today, Xi Mu Cheng was playing his favorite song. Xia Xiaoxiao watched the man in front of her as if she was in a dream, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

He played the piano intently, his eyes downcast.

His long eyelashes cast a shadow over his eyes, causing others to be unable to discern his true expression. Only his thin lips that were slightly raised revealed some of his current state of mind.

However, even though he looked to be smiling, he still gave off a cold feeling. He had been gentle before, or at least had been.

But now …

Some people say that only by loving someone deeply will hatred be etched deep into one's bones!" At this moment, she was actually able to give birth to such a feeling, but she only saw it as an illusion.
