After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Standing Someone Up?

That guy probably won’t be back until late, she thought, even if she played for a bit, he definitely wouldn’t know.

Finally, unable to resist the temptation, Luo Xiaoqian tiptoed into the Practice Room.

Casting aside the piano lid, Luo Xiaoqian’s fingers slowly swept over the keys.

She had been learning the piano since she was four and had done so for ten whole years; naturally, she felt a very special bond with it.

Pulling out the piano stool and sitting down, she gently pressed the keys and the piano immediately emitted pleasant notes.

As her fingers danced over the keys, a string of coherent notes flowed out like water, and since the Practice Room was sound-proofed, she didn’t have to worry about disturbing anyone.

With a slight lift of her lips, Luo Xiaoqian settled herself and positioned both hands on the keys before naturally beginning to play.

...

...

Leng Zimo pushed open the door, casually hung his coat on the rack, made his way upstairs, and pushed open the bedroom door.

The light was off and the curtains were not drawn.

On the double bed, the comforter was neatly spread without a sign of anyone having touched it.

That girl, she actually dared to stand him up?!

No wonder she sounded so happy when she picked up his call earlier.

The expression on Leng Zimo’s face turned icy.

Turning back, he noticed a backpack outside the Practice Room, and he paused momentarily.

The anger on his face relaxed a little.

She was here!

Could she be practicing again?

Leng Zimo pushed open the door to the Practice Room and, not finding anyone there, he went downstairs into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there were some added seasonings, and when he pulled open the refrigerator, it was packed with fresh ingredients.

His expression softened a bit more.

Good!

Seeing Leng Zimo standing next to her, her heart twisted into a knot.

"You... you said you’d be home late, didn’t you?" she asked.

Leng Zimo raised an eyebrow. "Weren’t you waiting for me?" he queried.

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly denied it, "I... I didn’t mean that... umm... you must be hungry, right? Shall I go make you something to eat..."

She turned, attempting to flee.

In her heart, she was just regretting.

Why couldn’t she let go of the piano as soon as she touched it? Now that the smell of stinky tofu was washed off and she wasn’t in bed, there was no chance to feign sleep...

"No need!" Leng Zimo grabbed her wrist with one hand, pulled her with a bit of force, and brought her into his embrace. "I don’t feel like eating right now!" he stated.

"Then... shall I prepare the bathwater for you..." Luo Xiaoqian offered in a fluster.

"I’ve already bathed," Leng Zimo said.

Luo Xiaoqian stiffened in his embrace, realizing that tonight, she had no escape.
