Chapter 148 - Did I Disturb You?
Her apartment unit was on the 16th floor.
He entered the passcode and opened the door. It was a huge duplex apartment. The most notable thing was that, at the east side of the apartment, there were huge French windows that stretched from the ceiling to the floor. Her apartment was on the 16th level and one could view the entire Ping Cheng City.
What excited Shen Fanxing the most was the sight of the grand black piano at a corner by the French windows. The soft white veils fluttered in the wind.
She strode towards it impatiently, her fingers shaking as she ran them over the piano.
Her fair and slender fingers contrasted starkly with the piano. The smooth, cooling touch made Shen Fanxing feel as if her heart was on fire again.
Opening the cover of the piano, the sight of the black and white keys made her hand tremble slightly. Then the sound of a beautiful note followed.
The sound echoed in the apartment, just like how ripples were spreading slowly in Shen Fanxing's heart.
She pressed her lips and bent to sit down. With her hands on the piano keys, she recalled a recent memory of the piano piece she had heard in Bo Jinchuan's car. That tune was A Comme Amour.
Just as the keys began to move to form a melodious tune, Shen Fanxing's eyes reddened.
It had been so long…
She had never felt like this…
Music was the purest thing to her.
Yet, she had failed to protect it well in the past.
Gazing at the night sky darkening, the neon lights started to light up the city. The city was still bustling and busy, but the melodious sound of the piano had a calming effect to soothe frustration and to bring peace to one's heart.
She finished playing the tune smoothly, with every beat and note played correctly.
Even though she didn't have a music score.
When she was in France all those years, she had trained her memory.
It was just a music score, so it wasn't too difficult.
Exhaling her breath lightly, Shen Fanxing caressed the piano before she stood up and went upstairs.
When she came down again, it was already half an hour later.
Shen Fanxing went to the kitchen, where fruits, vegetables and meat were all stocked in the fridge.
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Fanxing found an apron and got busy in the kitchen.
Half an hour later, Shen Fanxing walked out of the kitchen with a lunchbox in her hands.
…
In the understated luxurious and grand office, the lights lit up as bright as daylight. The entire office was still and quiet.
Bo Jinchuan sat on a chair in the office, his hands turning the pages of a thick document.
He wore an expensive, custom-tailored suit that fitted his tall and lean body perfectly. His temperament was refined, aloof and noble and his features were perfect. His face was devoid of any expression and he gave off an icy aura that seeped from his bones.
In just one week, everyone in the company had witnessed the capability and temper of the new CEO.
When they didn't provoke him, he was Buddha who had delivered all living things from suffering.
Once provoked, he would immediately become a devil. Though it might not be a massacre, one look from the man was enough to send everyone running for the hills.
Everyone was well aware that Bo Jinchuan loathed being disturbed when he was working.
When someone knocked on his office door, Bo Jinchuan paused and a deep frown appeared on his face.
Shen Fanxing pushed the door when there was no response.
His gaze was as icy as she recalled seeing on his face, the day she brought him the medicine.
Even though she had seen that expression before, Shen Fanxing was still taken aback.
Something glinted in Bo Jinchuan's eyes.
After the initial reaction, a warm smile spread across his face.
"Am I disturbing you?" asked Shen Fanxing as she watched him putting the document aside.
Bo Jinchuan didn't deny it and grunted in a deep voice.
