After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2140: Chapter 2144: It Was You... Wasn’t It?

Luo Xiaoqian followed anxiously, while Leng Zimo signaled her to stay put as he quietly approached the door to look inside.

Luo Ke was lying on the pillow, seemingly sound asleep.

”Sir?”

Leng Zimo called out softly.

There was no response from Luo Ke.

Stepping into his room, Leng Zimo called once more, but there was still no response from Luo Ke.

Knowing that the sedative he administered had taken effect, Leng Zimo looked at the sleeping Luo Ke, his fingers clenched and then slowly relaxed.

This man, he wished to eliminate as soon as possible, but Leng Zirui’s mission wasn’t complete yet; he couldn’t disrupt their plan.

Clenching his teeth to control his murderous urge, Leng Zimo exited the room, ensuring the door was tightly shut.

Returning, he picked up the tray with egg tarts and milk, and reached out to grab the anxious-looking Luo Xiaoqian.

”Didn’t you want to listen to me play the piano? Come with me!”

Still in shock, Luo Xiaoqian was already being led by Leng Zimo out the door, as she closed it behind her, following him downstairs.

At this time, bodyguards usually wouldn’t appear inside the villa, something Leng Zimo had already confirmed.

Reaching the second floor, he led her straight to the piano room.

To prevent anyone from discovering them, Leng Zimo didn’t turn on the lights.

The piano room had floor-to-ceiling windows with sheer curtains parted, allowing the moonlight to stream in just right, bathing the room in a perfect glow.

He placed the tray on the table and guided Luo Xiaoqian to sit with him on the piano bench.

Leng Zimo lifted his hand to open the piano cover.

”Won’t anyone find out?” Luo Xiaoqian asked worriedly.

”It’s okay, this room is soundproof. When Luo Ke played the piano for you before, I checked; no sound can be heard outside.” Leng Zimo reassured her, patting her hair lovingly, ”Now, I want to play a piece for you.”

His hands rested on the keys, and after a brief pause, he began to play gently.

The soothing, melodious tune was none other than ”White Moonlight.”

Of course, it was Leng Zimo’s adapted version.

He turned slightly to look at her and began to sing softly.

”White moonlight, a place in the heart

So bright, yet so cold

Everyone has a sorrowful past

Wanting to hide it, only revealing more and more...”

Listening to the familiar melody, Luo Xiaoqian instinctively fixated on his fingers, the moonlight casting a glow on them, making his slender fingers seem to emit a gentle light, as if they were as lustrous as jade.

Those fingers... so familiar.

Luo Xiaoqian slowly turned her face to look at Leng Zimo beside her.

The moonlight from the window cast over him, draping his entire silhouette in a coat of silvery, frosty light.

As she looked over, Leng Zimo happened to turn his face in her direction.

His eyes, even in the dim room, were as deep and dark as ink, bright like stars.

He gazed at her, as if, in this world, she was the only one.

”The moment you see him, you’ll know, it’s that man. He has dark hair, dark eyes, plays the piano beautifully, and when he looks at you, it’s with a gaze so tender you feel like his princess. Find a way to seek him, because he’s someone you can’t miss in this lifetime...”

Words from the paper flashed involuntarily in Luo Xiaoqian’s eyes.

Gazing at Leng Zimo, she murmured softly.

”Is it you?! Is it you... isn’t it?!”

Surprised and eager, Leng Zimo stopped playing, holding her shoulders.

”Xiao Qian, you recognize who I am?!”
