Chapter 654: 0644 Are you not afraid that I will look down on you now? Chapter 654: 0644 Are you not afraid that I will look down on you now? Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her lips, “Do you believe me if I said I’m not?”

“Hmm?”

Su Ran couldn’t help but hold her forehead, feeling helpless:
“The first time I met Elder Zhou was at Xiao Yize’s inauguration banquet. At that time, I only chatted with him for a few moments. I never expected that he…”
“Wanted to take you as a disciple?” Fu Qiyuan finished Su Ran’s sentence for her.

Su Ran nodded and let out a light sigh.

“Yes, although I can play the piano, I haven’t practiced much in recent years, and I lost the sunny and cheerful state of mind I once had, so I refused. I never imagined Elder Zhou would personally attend the award ceremony in Country Y, and on live broadcast, he said that…”
Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.

“Even if you weren’t originally, you are now!”

Now the entire world knows, the famous designer R is none other than the acclaimed pianist Zhou Yousheng’s apprentice.

And it was Elder Zhou himself who admitted it, leaving no room for denial!

Su Ran felt utterly helpless inside. She wasn’t a piano prodigy, so why did Elder Zhou specifically choose her?

Fu Qiyuan, looking at the girl’s helpless expression, chuckled again.

“Relax, it’s not that serious. Elder Zhou probably doesn’t plan on training his disciple to become some piano master at his age. Isn’t he said to be temperamental? Just think of it as you simply catching his eye.”

And Elder Zhou must also be well aware that Su Ran has many things to handle, so she probably can’t devote too much thought to the piano.

Hearing that, Su Ran frowned, looking at the man with displeasure.

“Are you looking down on me?”

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her, puzzled:
“When did I ever look down on you?”

“You just said I won’t become a piano master.”

Fu Qiyuan: “…”
Did he really say that?

“So, are you planning to become a piano master now?”

Su Ran: “…”
Of course not.

“Cough, let’s just say it was simply a matter of catching his eye!”

Fu Qiyuan arched an eyebrow, his face playful:
“Now you’re no longer afraid of me looking down on you?”

Su Ran tugged at her lips, “Continue!”

Looking down or not didn’t really matter all that much.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the villa. Su Ran got out, staring at the majestic and luxurious estate in front of her, feeling unexpectedly emotional.

Having been away for only a few days, she actually missed it a bit.

After Fu Qiyuan got out of the car, he looked at the girl standing beside him.

She was still wearing that vivid red gown.

She was radiant like a flame, coolly detached and proud, so stunning it was hard to look away.

Although he had seen her in the broadcast, seeing her with his own eyes, he couldn’t help feeling amazed.

Thinking of how the girl stood on stage, her cold yet ethereal presence, with a strong aura, he couldn’t help the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

Su Ran became aware of the man’s gaze lingering on her and looked down at her gown, raising an eyebrow.

“Do I look good?”

Fu Qiyuan nodded with satisfaction, replying:
“Yes, beautiful.”

Su Ran couldn’t help but smile.

“I think it’s quite beautiful, too.”

Fu Qiyuan, with an eyebrow raised, looked at the satisfied expression on the girl’s face and couldn’t help but say, laughing:
“It seems that you are quite pleased with my taste.”

“Quite satisfied,”
Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan looked at her, his words laden with meaning.

“As long as you’re satisfied!”

Isn’t satisfaction a good thing? Su Ran was puzzled, but she didn’t dwell on it.

The two returned home, where the servants had already prepared breakfast.

Not quite used to the food in country Y, Su Ran ate a bit more than usual for breakfast.

After eating a little more, sleepiness crept up on her, and since she still had to adjust to the time difference, she hadn’t planned on going to the company today.

Besides, with so many reporters waiting for her, she really didn’t have the energy to deal with them now.

After breakfast, she went straight back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Fu Qiyuan didn’t plan on going to the office today either; he had Qin Feng bring the documents that needed processing to their residence.

As for the boss’s frequent absences, Qin Feng had grown accustomed to it.

Miss Xiao Ran just returned to the country today; if President Fu had gone to the office, he would have found it strange!

Qin Feng sighed again, our President Fu really knows how to tire out an assistant when in love!

Su Ran didn’t know how long she had slept; at first, she was somewhat groggy, but soon she fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, morning had passed, and even with the curtains tightly closed, some faint sunlight managed to spill through the gaps into the room.

She blinked her eyes and waited until her fuzzy mind was fully alert before she slowly sat up.

Glancing around the room, there was no sign of the man or his presence; he was probably in the study working.

Reaching for the remote on the bedside table, she opened the curtains, and the bright, dazzling light instantly refracted through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Su Ran tossed aside the covers and got out of bed, sliding open the glass door to step out onto the terrace.

Outside, the sun shone brilliantly, and the view of the backyard came into sight.

The lush greenery, the colorful expanses of flower beds, and the fragrance of earth mixed with the scent of plants wafted to her nose, uplifting her spirit.

“Awake?”

A deep, magnetic voice came from behind her, followed closely by a cool, refreshing fragrance. Before she knew it, she was embraced from behind by the man.

Su Ran reached out to hold the hand he had placed on her lower abdomen, “Mmm, how long have I slept?”

Fu Qiyuan said, “Two hours.”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “Two hours?”

She thought she had slept for quite a while, but it was only two hours?

“Mmm, still sleepy?”

She shook her head in his arms, “No more, I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I sleep too much.”

“In that case, why don’t we do something meaningful?”

“What meaningful thing?”

Su Ran hadn’t quite caught on and followed along with his words.

By the time she had finished speaking, she realized that something was off.

And just as the thought entered her mind, her shoulder was gently held, her body stiffening slightly as she turned in the direction of his guiding hand, the stunningly handsome face appearing before her.

“Would you like me to tell you?”

“No… no need!”

She wasn’t that curious.

Despite her words, a faint blush had crept over her elegant face, obviously not entirely oblivious to his insinuation.

But discussing such a topic openly with a man was clearly out of the question for her.

Fu Qiyuan chuckled softly, once again wrapping her tightly in his embrace, bending down to capture her slightly chilled red lips.

A gentle kiss caused Su Ran’s long eyelashes to flutter lightly.

She lifted her eyes to look at him, only to find his gaze settled on her face, sparks flying as their eyes met in the air.

A light chuckle arose from Fu Qiyuan’s throat as he cupped her head, deepening the kiss.

Su Ran’s eyes flickered slightly, and she slowly closed them, responding to the man’s tender kiss filled with longing.
