Ming Zhongsheng had looked for Xuxu personally and even forsaked his pride just to beg her to let Wen Xinyi off and to not pursue the matter . But she had rejected him straightaway .
He had already disliked Yan Rusheng due to the failed linked marriage between their two families .
Xuxu quietly analyzed all these facts in her heart as she stared blankly at Ming Zhongsheng . The old man sat there with an ugly and sullen expression on his face .
Then she stole a glance at Ming Ansheng and he was looking towards their direction, looking at Yan Rusheng . Even though his expression wasn't that obvious, it wasn't hard to guess .
He looked helpless and seemed to be trapped between his grandfather and his friend .
Xuxu bent her head and she didn't want to consider anyone's feelings right now . She wasn't that magnanimous to begin with .
No one could possibly understand what she had gone through these few days . Furthermore, Charles was an innocent party and he had been dragged into the matter .

"Whatever I've said tonight, I'll make sure to stand by it . "
Yan Rusheng concluded in his usual cold and deep voice .
The whole hall was hushed and the chilly atmosphere seemed to freeze everyone's breath .
With the exception of Xuxu who was feeling warm all over especially her heart . Unconsciously, her body inched closer to Yan Rusheng's chest as she leaned against him .
It wasn't him who had suggested that she should make an apology at the press conference . He was kept in the dark all along .
After saying his piece, Yan Rusheng embraced Xuxu with his arms and nodded at Old Master Lu politely . "Sorry, Grandfather Lu . I've used up your time at your birthday celebration . I would like to apologize to you once more . "
His tone softened and the mood lightened up considerably .
Suddenly, a crisp and clear voice sounded from the second floor . "Third Brother Yan, a verbal apology wouldn't suffice . "

Yan Rusheng glanced at her with a faint smile . "Then what does Miss Lu propose?"
Lu Yishan wore a white evening gown and she walked down the steps with a hand holding the hems of the gown .
She looked at Yan Rusheng as she spoke, "I heard that you can play the piano really well . "
Yan Rusheng immediately understood her and nodded promptly . "Alright, I shall play a song for Grandfather Lu to express my apology . "
He held Xuxu's hand and they walked towards the piano .
The pianist hurriedly stood up and gave them his seat .
Everyone was looking at them in anticipation they reached the piano . Yan Rusheng bent his head and whispered in Xuxu's ear .
Xuxu bit her lips and nodded lightly .
She bent her body to sit down, leaving a bigger space for him .
Yan Rusheng bent his back as well and sat down beside her .
Both of them placed their hands on the piano and gazed at each other simultaneously .
A familiar happy tune sounded in the hall and it lightened up the mood instantly .
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…"
With them playing the tune, everyone else clapped along to the rhythm . Even Old Mr . and Mrs . Lu, who were sitting at the VIP table, couldn't help but join in and sang along .
The couple sitting at the piano seemed to have rehearsed this performance beforehand . They complemented each other perfectly and were perfectly in sync .
This rapport they shared gave them a pleasant surprise as well .
Two pairs of hands on the piano; the bigger pair of hands had clearly-defined knuckles, while the smaller pair was soft and supple . Even their hands seemed so compatible .
Who else would dare say that they weren't loving at all? Not compatible?
"I'm afraid that it's impossible to find a second man like Third Young Master in this entire world . "
"I second that . He is truly flawless and exceptional . "
"That's true love indeed for this pair of childhood sweethearts . "
Fang Jiayin watched Xuxu and Yan Rusheng and heard the compliments from people around her . The wine she was drinking seemed exceedingly bitter .
