Huo Yunshen felt pain in his heart again when he thought of Jing Xi.
He raised his head and stared at the woman sitting in front of him with his dark gaze.
“Who told you to play that song?” Huo Yunshen scolded.
Shocked by the sudden anger, Jing Xi raised her head and saw the scary look on Huo Yunshen’s face.
It was only then that she remembered the song was written by the king himself.
She was a massive fan of his songs.
Most of Huo Yunshen’s songs were now regarded as classics in the music world and were loved by people all around the world.
The reason Jing Xi knew how to play the song was because her sister, Jin Hua, was also a fan of his. Jing Xi had been listening to Huo Yunshen’s songs every day and learned them naturally.
Even though Jing Xi did not have the best memory in the world, she could easily remember the chords and tones of every song she heard.
She could recite everything, even with her eyes closed.
“Do you think you can get my attention by doing that?”
Huo Yunshen thought that Jing Xi was trying to gain his attention with the song.
And he hated people like that.
“I’m really sorry… It’s just that I like Ni Yun’s song a lot…,” Jing Xi quickly explained.
“Your talent is so bad that it’s a pain to hear! Don’t ever play anything in front of me again!” Huo Yunshen ordered as he tried to forget about the pain.
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again!” Jing Xi apologized, terrified by the king’s anger.
Jing Xi then lowered her head and tried to put the harmonica back into her bag. As she was doing so, the harmonica slipped from her hand and fell into the lake.
Jing Xi stared as her only possession that could produce music fell into the depths of the lake and sighed. She didn’t mind losing the harmonica as long as the king would not scold her or fire her.
Huo Yunshen also noticed that the harmonica had fallen into the lake but remained silent and turned away.
Ying Bao understood why her father was angry, but Little Grape did not because he was still very young.
“Daddy! Auntie Xiaoxi dropped her harmonica! Can you ask someone to look for it?” Little Grape requested.
But Huo Yunshen ignored his son’s plea.
Seeing that his father was not going to take action, Little Grape got angry.
“Bad daddy!” Little Grape pouted and turned to Jing Xi. “Auntie Xiaoxi, I’ll buy another one for you!”
Looking at the pure-hearted kid, Jing Xi realized that he wasn’t as cold as everyone said he was.
“Thank you, but you don’t have to buy me one.” Jing Xi smiled.
“Why?”
“Because I won’t be playing it again.”
“Why?’
Being the persistent kid he was, Little Grape wanted the answer.
