Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716: Noble Night Banquet (2)
But she wasn’t in the mood to consider these things; they were Yue Siqing’s concerns.
When she finishes this semester’s courses, she’ll leave the school.
Yue Siqing indeed has ways to prevent her from leaving here, but if she’s already back in Manchester, she doesn’t believe Yue Siqing can bring her back.
A day passed, and she didn’t leave the school.
Just thinking about being watched constantly when she goes out, she’d rather stay at school playing the piano even if she doesn’t have classes.
In the evening, she was sitting at the piano, just finished playing a tune.
She glanced at the time; it’s about time to leave.
Gu Anjin had just stood up when she unexpectedly heard applause.
Looking up, she saw Song Yi standing at the door of the piano room, leaning against the door, clapping with a smile on his face.
"I hope I’m not disturbing you." Song Yi walked in.
He usually wears casual clothes when there’s no performance, but today he was in a very formal suit, clearly attending an important event.
"Of course not, I was planning to leave anyway." She stood up and smiled.
Song Yi’s eyes were full of regret, "You could amaze the whole world, yet you play the piano here alone."
"What’s wrong with that?" Gu Anjin pressed her lips, turned to look at the white piano, and gently touched it, "Some things are just about making yourself happy."
She was never instilled with the idea that she had to achieve great excellence.
The only hope her parents had for her was that she could live a happy life.
No matter what she chooses to do in the future, as long as it’s something she likes, it’s fine.
People should live for themselves, not for the eyes of others.
So she never pursued fame or fortune; her life didn’t need an audience.
"However, it’s such a pity for talent not to be recognized by others." Song Yi pondered and then smiled, "Of course, you make a good point. As long as you’re happy."
"By the way, Song Senior, I’m really sorry about the other day. I didn’t know he’d appear suddenly, and I had no idea that person hasn’t been found yet."
"It’s okay. If something really happened when you were with me, I wouldn’t be able to explain to your family. Who knows who it is and why they had to kidnap you?"
Gu Anjin’s expression changed.
The kidnapping was just because of Yue Siqing.
She now somewhat understood why her grandfather wanted her brother to return and take over the family business rather than focus on being here.
Indeed, it’s too dangerous.
"Currently, I don’t know yet." She laughed, "But because of these things lately, my freedom may be somewhat restricted. So..."
"Of course, safety is most important." Song Yi nodded, "However, today, I’m here to invite you to be my date. Rest assured, this event is very formal and grand, no need to worry about kidnappers appearing. If even such an occasion had kidnappers, I would be speechless. There will even be royalty attending, so safety will surely be guaranteed."
Gu Anjin raised her eyebrows, "It’s Elisa’s banquet."
"That’s right." Song Yi nodded, looking more surprised, "You know about this?"
Gu Anjin remembered the invitation she tossed aside, nodding.
She saw it last night; at such events in the past, as long as Yue Siqing was present, she would attend with him.
