Chapter 460 - 167: Wish Fulfilled_2
The Princely Heir had not heard this melody before, which was why he inquired, saying, "Write down this piece, and then compose the music for it. Give me a copy when it’s done."
Yueyao looked at the Heir of Marquis Jingning, silently understanding why Luo Mingzhu had ordered her around so casually. It seemed to run in the family.
Yueyao wanted to refuse, but she was not in a position to do so. Reluctantly, she said, "Fine." In fact, the tune she had played was improvised, created on a whim. To put it into the form of a composed piece was a headache-inducing prospect. Yueyao regretted playing it in the first place.
Marquis Jingning first looked surprised at Yueyao’s reluctant and unwilling expression but then smiled. He had forgotten that the person before him was a child, not a subordinate who followed orders.
Madam Ping explained with a smile to help the Princely Heir, "Yueyao, don’t take it to heart. The Heir Apparent is fond of musical instruments and was a bit eager upon hearing a piece he had not heard before."
What could Yueyao say? She could not contend with a more powerful force, and moreover, she still wished to seek their support. So she said calmly, "It’s nothing. But it’s getting late, and I should return home."
The Princely Heir, seeing Yueyao’s expression, said with a chuckle, "Fine, let someone from the residence escort Miss Lian back to the mansion." This girl had quite an air of arrogance, but talented people often did.
Luo Mingzhu personally escorted Yueyao out of the inner gate. When they were parting, she took Yueyao’s hand and said, "You must come over tomorrow and teach me how to whistle with leaves. You can’t go back on your word."
Yueyao looked at Luo Mingzhu, who finally seemed more childlike, and responded with a smile, "I will teach you." Yueyao had not expected that her spontaneous act would lead to such a drastic change in attitude from Luo Mingzhu. But it was also because of this incident that she saw Luo Mingzhu’s true temperament—like a child, quick to anger and quick to forgive. The fact that Luo Mingzhu wasn’t as terrible on the inside as she appeared on the outside reassured Yueyao. Such a person would likely be easier to get along with.
