One glance.
Stunning!
Not long ago, Li Hannian's photo had just been featured in the global top magazine TIME.
The editor praised him for having "fingers and features kissed by God," even rating him as the most promising musician of the century...
The day Chu Nanxi returned to the Chu Family from abroad, their uncle's two daughters were drooling over the magazine cover.
To this, Chu Nanxi merely scoffed—just a photoshopped image. They believe this "photo deception"?
It turned out that he looked even better than his photos.
The sunlight, filtering through the sheer curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, painted his sharply defined profile.
Those deep phoenix eyes, glimmering with the sunlight, shone like dazzling, misty crystal.
Unfathomable, incomprehensible.
It tempted one to irresistibly want to see more.
Even Chu Nanxi, who had interned in Hollywood and seen numerous handsome men and beauties, was involuntarily mesmerized for a couple of seconds.
This time, the media hadn't exaggerated at all.
Warmth on the cheek.
The man's delicate fingers, honed from years of playing the piano, gently supported her cheek.
His touch was so gentle as if she were porcelain, which could shatter with just a mishap.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, Chu Nanxi quickly regained her composure, and her heart also tightened.
Due to unpleasant childhood experiences, she was particularly sensitive to touch from the opposite sex.
Though slightly uncomfortable, she still pursed her lips and did not move, boldly meeting his gaze with a smile that could "topple cities and kingdoms."
The scar on her face twisted even more grotesquely.
She chuckled silently.
Waiting for him to feel nauseated, to let her go, to step back.
However, he didn't!
Far from stepping back, he leaned in even closer.
Chu Nanxi raised an eyebrow.
He was going to...
At the scar, a soft touch.
Unexpectedly, the man's lips landed on her face.
No!
More precisely, on her scar.
Finally, Chu Nanxi's face showed an undeniable look of astonishment.
While every man had shunned her, he dared to kiss her?
Satisfied with capturing her expression, his fingers gently touched the girl's cheek as Li Hannian stood up straight.
"At six this evening, a driver will come for you,"
His voice was gentle like nobility, yet it held the commanding presence of an emperor.
Without giving her any chance to respond or refuse, he got up and strode towards the exit.
Walking through the grand hall as if in an uninhabited realm, his gaze never once wavered toward anyone else.
It was as if no one else in the hall captured his interest.
Her cell phone vibrated.
Chu Nanxi hung her head—she was "dead"!
Frowning and turning aside, she watched as the man's tall figure disappeared at the porch, swearing under her breath.
"Damn!"
The Li Family treated Li Hannian like stars circling the moon, respectfully escorting him out and bowing as they watched his car drive away, then returned to the living room.
"I really don't understand what this guy is thinking!" the eldest mistress Song Yu said with displeasure, "Our Nanyue plays the piano well and is so gentle, and yet Li Hannian really has no taste."
"Who's telling me? And he even kissed her?" Chu Nanya's expression was like she had swallowed half a fly, "It's making me want to throw up my dinner from last night."
Zhou Zitong, the second mistress, also frowned, "Wenjie, what should we do?"
"What can we do?" Chu Wenjie, disappointed, sat down on the couch, "He's taken a liking to Nanxi, what can anyone do?"
...
Chu Nanqi didn't speak, but her face was equally filled with indignation.
Inheriting the genes of their grandfather, Chu Jinwang, the Chu siblings were all notably good-looking, especially Chu Nanqi, who stood out the most. With the family's substantial support, despite still being a drama student, she had already acted in several plays.
Though not a top-tier star, she was somewhat famous.
Initially, she thought Li Hannian had come for her.
Yet, he had not even glanced at her directly from start to end.
...
Indifferent to everyone's overt disdain, Chu Nanxi's eyes remained unbothered.
Putting her cell phone in her jeans pocket, she raised her hand, pulled the lollipop from her mouth, and walked up to them.
"Prepare the documents by six this evening and give me my father's shares. Otherwise, don't even think about me going to the Li Family!"
