Lu Mello and s.h.i.+ Enxi arrived at one of Beijing's biggest Concert Hall. It was then that s.h.i.+ Enxi learned that they were attending Lu Xingyan's Piano concert.

Just like her mother, Lu Xingyan became a famous Pianist. She was considered a genius in the field and since she has always loved playing the Piano, she has her mother's help to get to where she was.

Lu Mello has already reserved a VIP seat for them so they were separated from others. He was sitting beside s.h.i.+ Enxi. He looked at her and smiled. "You love cla.s.sical music, right?"

"I do... how did you found out?" The only person who knew her the best was Huang Li. Did he ask Huang Li about it? 

She may be living with Lu Mello for a while but she didn't tell him much about herself. Except for her past, Lu Mello was supposed to be clueless about other things, right?

"I checked your phone's playlist once." Lu Mello reasoned out.

In the past, while s.h.i.+ Enxi was pregnant with Huang Li's child, she would usually listen to cla.s.sical music. Of course, during that time, Lu Mello still didn't found about the child being Huang Li's. He thought that it was his own child that was why there were times where he would play the piano for her whenever she was in the mood to listen for one.

Now that he was reminded of the child... Lu Mello felt bitter, he felt something stabbing his heart. He never had a child of his own with s.h.i.+ Enxi.

When the concert started, s.h.i.+ Enxi loved every piece that Lu Xingyan played. The emotions, the technique, everything was perfect. No wonder Lu Xingyan was considered a prodigy in the world of music.

"Your sister is amazing, Mello."

Hearing no response from him, s.h.i.+ Enxi turned to him. He may be watching Lu Xingyan play the piano but his eyes seemed distracted by something.

s.h.i.+ Enxi noticed how Lu Mello was in a trance. His expression didn't look good. What with the sad look in his eyes? The piece that Lu XIngyan was currently playing was a lively piece.

"Mello?"

She was able to get his attention back upon placing her hand on his arm.

He looked at her but he didn't say anything. The look in his eyes was still the same.

s.h.i.+ Enxi was about to ask what was wrong but stopped when she heard the words that came out of Lu Mello's lips.

"Have you ever loved me for real?"

s.h.i.+ Enxi felt confused with what he asked but at the same time, she felt a p.r.i.c.k in her chest.

Lu Mello snapped out from his thoughts. He realized that he said something he shouldn't. He knew that he will never be able to get the answer to that question since it was for the s.h.i.+ Enxi of the past.

"Haha, just ignore what I said, Xi'er." Lu Mello turned his gaze back to his sister.

s.h.i.+ Enxi lowered her head and bit her lower lip. What was wrong with him? Why was he acting as if she has hurt him badly? Why was she feeling guilty?

"I may have no feelings for you back then but right now, I do." She held his hand. "You are not hard to love."

Lu Mello turned to her, chuckling a bit. "As long as I have my wealth and good looks, you will continue to love me, right?"

Despite the light tone in Lu Mello's voice s.h.i.+ Enxi could feel how heavy those words were when she took it in. Those were the words that she would usually tell him whenever she told him she loves him, right? Why did it sound so different when it came from him.

Lu Mello did so many things for her, things she has never experienced. He was the only person who spoiled her so much.

"Do you really love me?" s.h.i.+ Enxi couldn't help but ask.

"No matter how many times you ask that, my answer will still be the same. I love you and I will prove it to you every day."

She has never fallen in love with anyone, even with Huang Li despite being by her side whenever she needed someone. She couldn't bring herself to love someone when she thought about her past. Who would accept her?

Back then, Huang Li was the only one who understood her but she could only see him as a brother. The times where s.h.i.+ Yi was supposed to be there to comfort her during her childhood days, it was Huang Li who acted like a big brother to her. If she had to be honest, she was closer to Huang Li than to her brother.

After getting close to Lu Mello, she knew that the feelings called 'love' was starting to grow inside her. She never thought that she who was full of hate was capable of knowing love.

She never trusted anyone but ever since she met Lu Mello, that changed. She began trusting others, even to Fan Xiao Yao.

Who would have thought that there would be a day where she became close to Fan Xiao Yao. Even if she acted strict to her, she knew in herself that she started caring for that woman. She has always envied Fan Xiao Yao, she has once wanted to ruin her 'happy life', she wanted to take away the people that cared for her but then... she ended becoming one of those people.

Lu Mello's presence changed so many things in her life. He entered her life and brought colors to it. He became someone so important to her. He has always made her feel special but how about her? Did she ever try to make him feel special?

d.a.m.n it... the current piece Lu Xingyan was making her heart bursts to the point where she wanted to cry.

"Falling in love with you was like entering a house and finally realizing I'm home."

Lu Mello turned to her after hearing her words. He was surprised to see her blus.h.i.+ng face while she stared back at him.

The corners of her mouth lift up into a smile, "Thank you, Mello. Thank you for loving someone like me."

Just by seeing her smile so lovingly at him, something amazing happened, like a light turning on in a dark room, it brought warmth in him. The heavy feeling he had earlier disappeared with no trace left behind.

"What's this? You're being so cute right now, I want to kiss you." He grinned happily at her.

She leaned and pecked his lips. "Now stop distracting me, I'm trying to enjoy the concert you know."

"Give me a longer kiss."

"I'll give you one later."
