That person only thought for a moment before giving her the big "X", which meant "no". She had no choice but to lie with great difficulty.

"Big sister Autumn Leaf …" Liangqiu has been very busy recently, so don't come over. Even if you did, he wouldn't have time to accompany you, and he … "We might not be able to return to the Spring Festival …"

"Oh …"

Upon hearing Xie Qingwan's words, Autumn Leaf was immediately at a loss. She had been busy checking out the plane tickets online, so how could she be so busy that she didn't even answer Xie Qingwan's phone calls? This had never happened before.

However, if he really did it for her studies, she could only support him.

"Then... Tell him to give me a call when he's not busy! "

"You have to help me transmit it!"

Before hanging up, she reminded Xie Qingwan again.

When she hung up, Xie Qingwan's palms were already drenched in cold sweat. When she looked at the man again, her expression didn't look any better, because she didn't know if the results of the operation were good or bad, so they all chose to keep it a secret from Autumn Leaf.

Everyone knew that Liangqiu was her life. If she was also standing guard in front of the operation room, the first one to fall would probably be her!

Thus during winter vacation, the bored Autumn Leaf went to register for a piano class, wanting to improve her temperament. She subconsciously wanted to become better, better, and closer to him. She wanted to be good enough to stand next to him one day. But as he thought of this, he felt sad. Perhaps … She would never be with him again.

The place where she took piano lessons was near her apartment, about ten minutes' walk away. The teachers who taught her were retired couples from the University's Music Academy. Shu Can had recommended them to her, so the school fees were very cheap.

Actually, Autumn Leaf didn't have much confidence in herself in the beginning, but when she saw the grey-haired but energetic teacher, she suddenly fell in love with the piano. They patiently taught her, and she was also very agile and quick to learn. Sometimes she would play simple music, and the old couple would dance, and she was suddenly envious of such a long, thin line of love.

To tell the truth, she didn't envy the young people who walked around with their arms around each other, but most of all she envied the old people who, even though their hair was white and their legs were not sharp enough, and whose faces were full of wrinkles, were still holding hands and walking together, just like her piano teacher and his wife.

And when Shu Can heard that she wouldn't stay in the Magnificent Brocade Kingdom to cool the weather, he even came to her every day to look for a meal. One day, after dinner, Autumn Leaf was in the kitchen washing dishes, while Shu Jian was leaning on the kitchen door, watching her figure in a hurry.

Lifting his head and blowing out a smoke ring, Shu Can felt a little hesitant.

"Autumn Leaf …" On the day of the thirtieth … Come and eat dumplings with me! "

Autumn Leaf, who was washing the dishes, was slightly startled. She then turned her head to look at Shu Can, who was surrounded by smoke.

"Can I?"

She knew that Shu Can had never had a good relationship with her parents. She didn't know why, but if she went to their house, she would definitely face some awkward questions.

"If it's inconvenient, I'll be fine by myself!"

"What's wrong with that? With you around, I can still be more polite to them!"

Shu Can spoke faintly, a trace of bitterness flashing across his face.

Autumn Leaf looked at her, hesitating, but she still spoke out the words in her heart.

"Senior, although I don't know what happened between you and Uncle and Auntie, but I can feel that they truly love you!"

Shu Can only take big puffs of cigarette smoke, not saying anything further. Autumn Leaf couldn't tell what she was thinking, so she had no choice but to turn around and continue washing the dishes.

Although her days were full, they were not peaceful enough, because Duanmu Yi would call her almost every day. She did not want to answer, but she could only continue to call him, so she had no choice but to do so. In reality, he had nothing to do, and most of the time, he would just say a few words before hanging up.

She thought that as long as he didn't suddenly run downstairs in the middle of the night like last time, she would be able to accept a phone call, because most of the time he was the only one talking. She was only responsible for occasionally letting out a "hmm" to indicate that she was still listening.

That day, after the piano lessons, Autumn Leaf chatted with her mistress for a while before deciding to leave. Their children were all abroad, and the two of them were usually very lonely, so Autumn Leaf would always accompany them for a while. His wife reluctantly pulled her up and dubiously asked,

"Autumn Leaf, do you have a boyfriend now?"

Boyfriend?

Autumn Leaf was startled. A handsome, callous face suddenly popped out in her mind. But, he … She couldn't even be considered a boyfriend. He was at most her financial backer, how could she think of him!

Perhaps it was because she had only experienced this kind of man that she would think like this. She comforted herself while blushing and said in embarrassment,

"Mistress, I …" "How could I have a boyfriend …"

When his wife saw her blushing, she thought she was embarrassed to say it. She smiled even wider as she stared at her.

"How can such a good-looking and likeable girl not have a boyfriend?"

"I really don't have one. I'm still young..." I don't want to talk about those things! "

Autumn Leaf lowered her eyes to hide the sadness that was flooding her heart. She too wanted to have a good relationship with someone at her prime. She wanted to find someone to love and love.

However, these next four years would probably be an extravagant hope.

"Really?"

She stared at her with sparkling eyes. This kind of girl, no one would dislike her. She was obedient, polite, humble, sensible, unlike the current girls who were impetuous and despotic. Perhaps it was because she had experienced the hardships of life, she held a kind and compassionate attitude towards everything.

So the more she looked, the more she liked this girl.

Being stared at like that by his mistress, Autumn Leaf suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ugh …" There really isn't one! "

"This is great!"

His wife slapped her hand and said happily,

"My wife has a very good nephew. I'll introduce him to you tonight, right?"

"Huh?"

Autumn Leaf was startled. She hurriedly waved her hand.

"No need, Mistress. I really don't have the mood to talk about this right now!"

His wife, however, thought she was embarrassed and tried to persuade her.

"Aiya, why are you being so shameful. You've already gone to university, so don't just focus on studying all day. You should enjoy the most beautiful days. After you finish your job, you won't be in the mood to relax!"

After saying that, she instructed the teacher who was busy in the kitchen,

"Old man, hurry up and call Xiaoyi, tell him to come over for dinner tonight."

Autumn Leaf instantly turned pale with fright. This Mistress was too gossipy. She had thought that she was just casually making things up, but who would have thought that she would actually call her over for a meal?

"Mistress, about that …" I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. I'll come back another day to accompany you! "

After he had finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Autumn Leaf, don't go!"

When her mistress saw that she was truly worried, she hurriedly pulled her back.

"Fine, fine, fine. Since you're unwilling, I won't force you. But today is my wedding anniversary with the old man. If you have nothing else to do, then stay with us."

She knew that her wife's children were abroad and she didn't have time to come back and accompany them. Since she had nothing to do back at home, she agreed to stay, but that was on the premise that her wife couldn't call her nephew over. Her mother happily agreed.

The teacher had prepared a huge pile of sumptuous meals, and Autumn Leaf had put down her guard. She happily chatted with the old man and the old lady, incomparably patient and considerate.

Halfway through the meal, he heard a sharp and ear-piercing screeching of brakes. Because the teacher lived on the first floor, the sound was exceptionally clear. Autumn Leaf couldn't help but frown.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. She hurriedly got up to open the door, but was stopped by her mistress.

"Hurry up and eat. I'll go drive it!"

Autumn Leaf was somewhat puzzled, but she still obediently sat down and lowered her head, intending to eat. But before she could finish her meal, she heard a familiar voice enter her ears.

"Oh, my dear aunt, I miss you so much!"

Shocked and disbelieving, she raised her head to look at the approaching person and saw that devilish Duanmu Yi was opening his arms wide to embrace her wife. She was stunned as she stood there, her brain short-circuited. How could it be him?
