Chapter 42: Going to see someone

  To match the two who were going to wear masks, Song Jiangliang very thoughtfully had all the people present put on their masks.

  However, the appearance of the two still triggered a burst of applause from the scene. After the applause subsided, each person on stage had an opening speech, and Ji Xin'an and Zou Ze were the protagonists today, so the two jumped to the first dance.

  Ji Xin'an felt that her Latin dance skills were finally being put to good use, and the two of them danced in perfect sync with the music, their coordination so seamless that everyone watching couldn't help but applaud.

  Many people came to chat with the two, and Ji Xin'an always kept a distance from the newcomers while still being enthusiastic in conversation. At this time, Song Jiangliang's appearance rescued Ji Xin'an, who was laughing so hard his face was about to freeze up.

  However, Ji Xianan was wrong. Song Jiangliang wasn't the angel who saved her, but a devil who created trouble. "An An, there's someone you must meet, otherwise we'll all be in trouble."

  "What's going on?" Ji Xin'an saw his tense expression, which didn't seem like a joke. However, the two of them had always handled this issue very well before, and he didn't know what was wrong today.

  "This person is very... special, and we didn't expect that with his identity he would be your fan. He asked the company's high-level executives to meet you in person, and we can't do anything about it. But don't worry, it's just a meeting, I guarantee there's nothing else to it." Song Jiangliang looked at Ji Xin'an with a helpless expression, his face full of concern.

  "What if I don't go?" Zhi Xin'an understood as soon as he heard it. This person either had money or power, so the company's people didn't dare to refuse.

  "An An, with his means, if he wants to know your identity, it's as easy as turning over his hand. If you refuse him and he finds out your true identity later, it will be even more troublesome." Song Jiang's face turned even uglier when he heard her wanting to refuse.

  "Alright, I'll go see him."

  Song Jiang let out a sigh of relief and led Ji Xin'an to the door of a luxurious private room, "It's here."

  Ji Xin'an nodded, took off the mask from her face, knowing it was impossible to wear it again, and simply put it down, then pushed the door and walked in.

  In the 100-odd square meter suite, a man in his thirties with a mature and sharp temperament sat on the sofa, wearing a black suit that fit him perfectly. Ji Xin'an could be certain that this person was absolutely not over thirty years old, yet he gave off such a strong oppressive aura that she suddenly felt that the person in front of her would definitely not be a simple official second-generation or rich second-generation.

  Even if Ji Xin'an were to be reborn, whether in her past life or this one, she had never come into contact with someone of his caliber before. Now, she truly felt that all her advantages had vanished completely in the face of such a man.

  While Ji Xin'an was sizing him up, he was also observing Ji Xin'an, but with a hint of disappointment, his face turned cold. Being stared at by his icy gaze, Ji Xin'an felt a chill spreading from inside out.

  "Are you really at ease?" Although he knew they didn't have the nerve to deceive him, he couldn't help but feel a little incredulous that someone who could write and sing such songs was just a young girl who hadn't even grown up yet.

  Ji Xin'an didn't say anything and just nodded.

  He stood up and walked step by step to the front of Ji Xin'an, but Ji Xin'an felt a sense of oppression and involuntarily retreated backwards until his back was tightly pressed against the door. He suppressed the urge to escape and stood there with his back straight.

  The man walked over, reached out and pinched her chin, staring at her with an expressionless face.

  Facing such an insulting action, Ji Xin'an wanted to break free from his hand, but was firmly pinned down and couldn't break free. So she had no choice but to stare straight at him, Ji Xin'an suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, and put on a pair of eyes that she thought were very domineering and stared back at him.

  Looking at her appearance, the man chuckled and released his hand, leaving a few red marks on her face. "My name is Jiang Ruibin, you can call me by my name."

  Ji Xin'an looked at his condescending tone, couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but also knew that her current self was as weak as an ant in his eyes, and it was not wise to confront him, so she just kept silent.

  "You seem a little afraid of me?" Jiang Rui Bin smiled and his demeanor softened significantly afterwards.

  "No." However, Ji Xin'an didn't dare think that he was just a yes-man, and forced a smile.

  "I always thought that someone who could write such a song would be a mature woman who has experienced hardships, at least someone of my age, but I didn't expect..." she said, shaking her head.

  "I didn't expect her to be an ordinary girl who can't be any more ordinary, so I'm quite disappointed, I suppose?" Ji Xin'an continued.

  "No, you're not ordinary at all. Although I didn't expect you to be so young, you're very special. Your eyes don't seem like they should belong to someone of your age. Except for your age, the feeling you give me is just like what I imagined, it's just that you're too young." Jiang Rui Bin showed a regretful expression.

  Ji Xin'an saw something else in his eyes, so he calmly didn't make any expression.

  "Come with me." He said, regardless of whether she agreed or not, and pulled her to the back of a screen, where there was actually a luxurious piano.

  Ji Xin'an looked at him with confusion.

  "Sing me a song." With both hands on Ji Xin An's shoulders, he pressed her to sit in front of the piano, but didn't take his hands away.

  "What song do you want?" Ji Xin'an placed her ten fingers on the piano keys and asked for his opinion.

  "I don't want to listen to that one, I want to hear a new one. Since you can write so many songs, there must be one that no one has ever heard before. That's the one I want to hear." Jiang Rui Bin's deep voice brought a hint of unease to Ji Xin An.

  "But I've already published all of them in the album, why don't you just pick one from it?" Ji Xin'an looked a bit embarrassed and took his hands off the piano.

  "I don't care about that, if you only listen to those, then there's no need for you to come and sing live, the sound quality of my speakers is much better than a live performance." Jiang Rui Bin lowered his head, his hands gently sliding along her arms until he grasped Chi Xin An's hands.

  "But I really can't sing anything else." A cold hand swept across her skin, and Ji Xin'an couldn't help but shiver, but she also knew that it was not a good time to provoke him, so she just turned her head to avoid his lips, without struggling too hard.

  "If you can't sing, stay here today and don't leave." Jiang Rui Bin whispered in Ji Xin An's ear with a gentle smile, but what she heard was a wave of fear, although Ji Xin An didn't think that membrane was as important as her life at this moment, but if she was ruined by this person, she still felt a little unwilling.

  "Let me think about it, okay?" Ji Xin'an said in a slightly weak tone.

  "Alright, take your time, I'm in no hurry." Jiang Rui Bin put Ji Xin An's hands back on the piano keys and let go of her.

  He wasn't in a hurry, but Ji Xin'an was getting anxious, her mind racing, forcing herself to calm down.

  At this moment, I suddenly remembered that I had tried to write a song before, but never played it, and didn't even know if the tune was right or not. But now, I couldn't care less about those details, having one song is good enough anyway.

  Then he calmed down and started playing the piano with his fingers moving on the keys.

  "This moment suddenly feels so familiar"

  Like yesterday, today is also being screened at the same time.

  My sentence originally sounded like you

  Isn't it proof of our love?

  Unfortunately, it wasn't you who accompanied me until the end

  We used to walk together but got lost at that intersection

  Thanks for holding my hand

  Can still feel that tenderness

  Unfortunately, it wasn't you who accompanied me until the end

  We used to walk together but got lost at that intersection

  Thanks for holding my hand

  Can still feel that tenderness

  Thanks for holding my hand

  Still warm my chest

  This song "What a Pity It's Not You" has always been liked by Ji Xin'an, and after learning the five-line score, she tried to write it out herself, thinking that there would be an opportunity to play and sing it, but unexpectedly, the first time she sang was in such a situation.

  It can even be said that inadvertently remembering this song saved Ji Xin'an once.
