Chapter 81

History repeats itself .

‘Mum, I’m home,’ Yang Han An said .

Yang Han An ran into the kitchen . Tan Xu Er was cooking dinner .

‘Xiao An, what do you think of the college?’ Tan Xu Er asked .

‘Good,’ Yang Han An said . ‘I met the most handsome man today . ’

‘Oh, who is this man who impressed my picky daughter?’ Tan Xu Er asked .

‘His name is Zhen Wu,’ Yang Han An said .

Tan Yu Er dropped a plate .

‘Mum, are you OK?’ Yang Han An asked .

‘I’m OK,’ Tan Xu Er said . She gripped Yang Han An’s hand . ‘What did you say?’

‘I said his name is Zhen Wu,’ Yang Han An said . ‘He’s the CEO of Yue’s company . ’

‘Xiao An, I don’t care who you love,’ Tan Xu Er said . ‘But you can’t love Zhen Wu . ’

‘Why?’ Yang Han An asked .

‘Listen to me,’ Tan Xu Er said . ‘Someone rich like him wouldn’t be interested in someone from an ordinary family like us . ’

‘What happened?’ Yang Hua asked . ‘I heard something break . ’

‘It’s nothing,’ Tan Xu Er said . ‘I accidently broke a plate . ’

Yang Han An thought Tan Xu Er was acting strange during dinner, because Tan Xu Er couldn’t hear Yang Hua until he called Tan Xu Er’s name several times .

Yang Han An dreamt of Zhen Wu that night .

The next day was the concert performance show casing the college band .

Hang Mac ran to the student council building, and Hang Mac woke up Zhen Wu .

‘What’s the problem?’ Zhen Wu asked .

‘A band member is injured,’ Hang Mac said . ‘There’s only you who can substitute for them last minute .

A while later at the assembly hall, Lucy saw Hang Mac dragged Zhen Wu on stage . Lucy heard from Sun Ling Hui most of the new female students were infatuated with Zhen Wu . Lucy knew Zhen Wu loved her, but she was still jealous .

The students were in awe when Yang Han An performed a duet with Zhen Wu . Yang Han An played the violin and Zhen Wu played the piano . Their duet was a moving performance .

Yang Han An didn’t register the students’ applause . She was disappointed the duet ended too soon, and Zhen Wu immediately walked off stage .

‘Zhen Wu that was incredible,’ Hang Mac said . ‘I heard you could play the piano . But I didn’t know you’re a musical genius . Do you want to join the band?’

Zhen Wu gave Hang Mac a warning look, and Hang Mac coughed .

‘Forget I asked,’ Hang Mac said .

Zhen Wu walked to Lucy, he held her hand and they walked to his bicycle . On the ride to her domintory, gentle breezes blew past their bodies .

‘Zhen Wu, today you played the piano beautifully,’ Lucy said .

Zhen Wu braked in front of Lucy’s dormintory .

‘Lucy, you look upset,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘Seeing you perform a duet with another girl made me jealous,’ Lucy said .

Lucy wasn’t unreasonable like Yue Ni and Nan Ma . Nan Ma made Shu Tang Jue sleep on the floor if Shu Tang Jue made her upset . Zhen Wu thought Lucy was like Zhen Zhen, it was rare for them to be upset .

Zhen Wu stroked Lucy’s hair .

‘I promise there won’t be a next time,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘I love listening to you play the piano,’ Lucy said . She hugged Zhen Wu . ‘But in the future I want to be the only one who gets to listen to you play the piano . ’

‘I promise,’ Zhen Wu said .

Zhen Wu wanted to do everything to make Lucy happy .

Lucy kissed Zhen Wu’s cheek and waved bye to him .

‘Go home safely,’ Lucy said .

‘OK,’ Zhen Wu said .

The other female students were envious Lucy got to sit on the back seat of Zhen Wu’s bicycle .

‘President Lucy,’ Yang Han An greeted .

‘You played the violin well today,’ Lucy said .

‘Thank you,’ Yang Han An said .

‘Can I talk to you in private?’ Lucy asked .

‘Yes,’ Yang Han An said . ‘Xiao Mei, wait for me in our dorm room . ’

Wu Min Mei walked into the dormitory building, and Yang Han An followed Lucy to a bench under a tree .

‘I want you to stay away from Zhen Wu,’ Lucy said .

‘Don’t you believe you’re overthinking the situation?’ Yang Han An asked .

‘I’m a woman too,’ Lucy said . ‘I can see clearly how you look at Zhen Wu . ’

‘I admit I’m secretly in love with Zhen Wu,’ Yang Han An said . ‘You and Zhen Wu aren’t married . I’m free to pursue Zhen Wu if I want to . ’

‘It’s your choice,’ Lucy said . ‘I just don’t want you to waste your time . Bye . ’

Yang Han An watched Lucy leave . Yang Han An was confident she could make Zhen Wu love her and break up with Lucy .

At the Yue Mansion, Yue Ni was looking over Yang Han An’s family background . Yue Ni thought Yue Gu Zai would be interested in dealing with Yang Han An . Then Yue Ni would have more time to find a cure for Hua Xi Tong’s illness .
