Ye Yingning's words almost hit the most vulnerable part of Lin Xingyuan's heart without any deviation, causing him pain as if his heart was bleeding and his heart was being torn out of flesh.

Only those who have experienced it personally will understand how bumpy the road of art can be.

Having innate talent is not enough, it requires unimaginable hard work and sweat.

Although Lin Xingyuan came from a wealthy family since he was a child and his parents were able to provide him with enviable conditions, no amount of money can replace his hard work day after day.

But he has almost never touched the piano again since his solo concert.

No time, no energy, no more, no mood.

Lin Xingyuan was surprised to find that he could no longer regain the calm state of mind in the past. Whenever he tried to sit in front of the piano, too much hatred and calculations were always lingering in his mind. This made his fingertips tremble, and the 88 in front of him

The black and white piano keys turned into ferocious beasts with wide open mouths, capable of attacking him and devouring him at any time.

"You can see it."

There was an expression of pain on his face, but it only faded away briefly, and soon his eyes were filled with determination.

Frankly speaking, at this moment, Ye Yingning's heart was full of regret, and she even felt deep sorrow for Lin Xingyuan.

Others may not know it, but she is very clear about the efforts he has put in. Genius also requires sweat. In terms of time and effort, Lin Xingyuan spent no less than any other child studying art.

It's a pity, a pity, and a tragedy to give up.

However, at the same time, she realized firsthand that the man in front of her was completely different from the Lin Xingyuan of the past. He had become too much for her to recognize, and she even felt terrified.

At this moment, he made her feel that she had never been able to see his heart clearly.

"Are you afraid of being looked down upon by my uncle's family when you do business?"

Ye Yingning couldn't understand why Lin Xingyuan went to such trouble and tried every means to avoid being noticed if it was just something as simple as opening a bar.

Perhaps it was because his family was in a low position that he was sensitive and worried about being looked down upon by Ye Lanan's parents, so he acted secretly?

This reason is not impossible. After all, men are creatures with strong self-esteem. Money is related to face, and Lin Xingyuan is not immune to this.

However, she immediately shook her head and rejected this conjecture, because it was said that "Meow Color Lips" had been opened for more than a year. Judging from the time, Lin Xingyuan had not been in love with Ye Lanan at that time.

When she thought of this, Ye Yingning's heart immediately began to throb silently.

If we really care about the timing, it was Lin Xingyuan who betrayed Ye Yingning, who was still working hard to make money in China, and took the initiative to get acquainted with Ye Lan'an, a wealthy daughter, and successfully won the latter's heart.

Her expression changed several times, all falling into Lin Xingyuan's eyes. He pondered for a moment and asked without answering: "Are these important to you? At best, you are just my fiancée's cousin. What qualifications do you have to stand here?

Question me?"

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes, and with the same aggressive tone, he said step by step: "Whether it's business or taxation, I've taken care of everything here. What on earth do you doubt about me?"

Lin Xingyuan's straightforwardness made Ye Yingning flinch for no reason. She didn't expect that he would immediately see that she had doubts about this bar.

"I……"

She opened her mouth, but had no words to reply and could only remain silent.

The two of them were staring at each other silently, and the door of the private room was knocked lightly from the outside. After waiting for a few seconds, the door opened, and the bar manager stood outside, holding a wine bucket filled with ice cubes.

Inside was the bottle of champagne Ye Yingning ordered before.

"Miss Ye, I didn't treat you well just now, please forgive me."

The manager quickly took out the champagne with his own hands, arranged two wine glasses, took off the metal cap of the bottle mouth, held the cork with one hand, and grasped the bottom of the bottle with the other hand, turned it hard, and opened the wine with a "bang" sound.

"It has been frozen for half an hour. The temperature is just right. It tastes best when it is maintained at 16 degrees Celsius. Please use it slowly."

The polite and thoughtful smile remained on his face until Lin Xingyuan gave him a secret look. The manager nodded slightly, walked out quietly, and carefully closed the door of the private room.

There seems to be a mellow aroma in the air, and one sniff makes you unconsciously intoxicated.

The smell of alcohol is also a dangerous smell.

Ye Yingning hurriedly glanced at the pink champagne on the coffee table. If it was normal, she would sit down and taste the fine wine, but at this moment, she wanted to get out as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether "Meow Se Lip" is related to Chong Tiange, she has attracted too much undue attention from Lin Xingyuan. She does not want to lose sight of one thing and lose the other. Not only will she gain nothing, but she will also cause more trouble.

"Wine... let's drink it some other time. I'm leaving first."

She was about to leave, but to her surprise, Lin Xingyuan didn't reach out to stop her.

Until Ye Yingning's fingertips touched the cold door handle, he was lazy and emotionless, and even had a hint of cold voice before he sounded behind him at the right time.

"Let's make a deal. You give me back my skull pendant, and I'll tell you about this bar."

She froze, and as expected she stopped, turned around suddenly, and said in shock: "How did you know it was here with me?"

He never looked for her, which made Ye Yingning think that Lin Xingyuan didn't guess that the things were picked up by him.

"As I guessed, it turns out it's really at your place."

The corners of his mouth slowly raised, and Lin Xingyuan's face showed a sly smile. Under the light, he stared at her like a fox.

Ye Yingning felt extremely depressed, but she still wanted to know more information. After thinking for a while, she nodded and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I can give it back to you..."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xingyuan walked directly to the sofa and sat down, pouring the champagne on the table into the glass, and then waved to Ye Yingning.

"It's not easy to talk while standing. Come, sit down and talk while drinking. Don't forget, you have to pay for this wine. It's not cheap."

He held up the wine glass and shook it gently to make the aroma of wine in the air more intense and fragrant. He closed his eyes and showed an extremely intoxicated expression.

Ye Yingning looked at him, sat down one meter away from him, stretched out her arm to reach the wine glass, picked it up and took a sip.

Ignoring the scent of sandalwood and musk blooming on his taste buds, Ye Yingning panted slightly and went straight to the point: "Why don't you want people to know that this is your bar?"

Lin Xingyuan put down his wine glass. He was very tall. Even if he sat down, he could still look down at her.

"I don't want people to associate me with a businessman who smells like money, although everyone doesn't love money."

He sneered and showed disdain, very proud of his dry humor.

These words seemed to be too devastating and insulted all businessmen.

Ye Yingning felt angry. Lin Xingyuan's answer was too hypocritical and was not the same as what she wanted!

"You know what I want to know! Don't play tricks on me, Lin Xingyuan!"

This time, she finally got angry and shouted his name loudly.

She has called him many names since she "met" him, including Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, etc., but this was the first time she called him by his first name.

Lin Xingyuan looked at her with a playful expression, and replied nonchalantly: "I don't know why you know that I know what you want to know."

It’s become a tongue twister!

Ye Yingning stared at him blankly. A few seconds later, just when she was about to stand up and rush out of the door, Lin Xingyuan crossed his arms, leaned back on the sofa, and suddenly asked word by word
