Chapter 541: Young Master Fiennes

Upon hearing Su Wan’s answer, the light blue-eyed man’s eyes shone even brighter.

He stared at Su Wan without blinking, his eyes full of interest.

“You really know how to play the Guqin... then, beautiful lady, can you play it for me?”

When he spoke, his smile was faint. If it wasn’t for his pair of eyes staring straight at Su Wan, perhaps he could still be considered a gentleman.

Hearing this, Su Wan frowned and subconsciously took a step back. Her gaze became a little wary.

“I’m sorry. Although I can play, I don’t have a Guqin in my hand.”

Su Wan was not a young girl who had yet to experience the world. During this period of time, she had gradually come to understand the difference in power between nobles and ordinary civilians.

She did not want to cause trouble, so it was best for her to politely decline.

Since Glory World Hotel had placed the Fuxi-style Guqin on display, it naturally meant that it was not for sale. Su Wan did not believe that he would be able to take it out.

The man with light blue eyes naturally did not miss the vigilance in Su Wan’s eyes. He suddenly came back to his senses and finally realized that his attitude just now was a little frivolous. It was most likely that he had scared this girl.

He blinked his eyes and made a bitter smile, suddenly questioning whether his charm had regressed.

When ordinary girls saw him, they would all want to come up to him and talk. This girl was rather interesting, actually taking a step back.

The man with light blue eyes had a stern expression. His originally mocking smile was withdrawn, replaced by a polite and gentlemanly manner.

“Don’t misunderstand. My Name Is Fiennes, I’m the young master of the Siswell family. The reason I want you to play the Guqin is because my sister, Diya, wants to dance classical, but I haven’t been able to find a suitable accompanist.”

After so much time had passed, it was extremely difficult to find a person in the galaxy who could play the Guqin.

There was no other reason. Up until now, almost no one could read the Guqin score. Chinese was the most difficult language to understand in the world, and the Guqin score was even more difficult to understand.

If one couldn’t figure out the fingering, string order, and phoneme, how could others learn it?

This man named Fiennes said that he was the young master of the Siswell Family?

Su Wan looked at him in disbelief, her starry eyes slightly bulging.

Her luck today was great. It was as if he was leveling up and fighting monsters in a game, and she bypassed the lackeys and reached the Boss.

Su Wan’s eyebrows were pulled back, and she discreetly looked at him. Looking at this man’s clothes and bearing, he indeed looked like an aristocrat.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, Su Wan took a light breath and smiled at Fiennes.

“So you’re saying that if I play well, I can be Miss Diya’s accompanist? Then I can give it a try.”

At first, she just wanted to apply for a job at Glory World Hotel and wait for an opportunity to build a relationship with the Siswell family at the cocktail party. Now, it seemed that being a live accompanist was much better than being a waiter.

If she played well, Su Wan wanted to take the opportunity to claim credit and request for silver tear ore as her reward.

Fiennes smiled and nodded. At the same time, he helplessly wondered if his charm had really declined.

This woman had just rejected him so quickly, but now her attitude had completely changed.

He rarely took the initiative to reveal his identity, but now, it seemed that his identity was more useful than his face.

“Alright, why don’t we use this Guqin then?”

Fiennes waved his hand at Su Wan and pressed a button. The crystal-glazed display was instantly opened, revealing the gentle and beautiful Fuxi-style Guqin inside.

Su Wan followed Fiennes to a room and sat down. When Su Wan saw the Guqin, she suddenly thought of a problem.

This Guqin had not been used for a long time. The strings had not been oiled. If she played it directly, she would hurt her hand.

Su Wan looked at Fiennes hesitantly, not sure if she should bring it up.

Fiennes saw her hesitation and looked at Su Wan with some doubt. His blue eyes narrowed slightly.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you play it?”

He didn’t know where the oil would be. If he went to buy it now, it would take a long time...

Su Wan’s mind was full of thoughts. She was afraid that he would change his mind. She smiled and shook her head. She gritted her teeth and put her hand on it.

“No.”

Su Wan took a deep breath. She immediately stretched out her hand to touch the strings. Although this Guqin was not as gentle as the Fengqiwu, it was not out of tune.

What should she play?

Su Wan had originally thought of playing “Happy Birthday To You” since it’s a birthday cocktail party, but after thinking for a second, she decided that since Fiennes had said that his sister wanted to dance classical, “Tune of a Peaceful Night” would definitely be a more appropriate piece to play.

After Su Wan finished thinking about it, she began to play.

Although she had not played for a long time, Su Wan was rusty for a while, but she slowly got into the mood.

Su Wan’s fingers were flying, and the quiet sound of the Guqin lingered in the air, like the first flower that bloomed under the moonlight. It was so clear and beautiful, but also so breathtaking.

This was the first time that Fiennes had heard the Guqin. He did not understand the strings of the Guqin, but he was still immersed in the artistic conception of the Guqin that Su Wan had constructed.

Su Wan’s eyes were drooping, and her expression was very serious. There was a special kind of moving beauty.

When the song “Tune of a Peaceful Night” came to an end, Fiennes could not help but clap his hands. He started to praise Su Wan very straightforwardly.

“You play so well. It just sounds a little sad. If the style of the song was more cheerful, it would definitely be better.”

Was she playing sadly?

Su Wan was stunned and could not help but smile bitterly.

The Guqin was the sound of her heart. It was most likely because she had various worries in her heart during this period of time that she destroyed the original artistic conception of “Good Night Guide” when she played it.

Su Wan pursed her lips and looked at Fiennes with slight anticipation.

“Young Master Fiennes, in that case, can I be your sister’s accompanist?”

“Of course, I would love it!”

Fiennes stood up, and a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes. “Oh, right, I still don’t know your name.”

“I’m Su Wan.”

As Su Wan said this, she reluctantly put down the Fuxi-style Guqin in her hand.

Su Wan...

Fiennes thought about this name in his heart and nodded. Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly noticed Su Wan’s fingers.

Her white palm was covered with the marks of the Guqin strings. There were even some bloody marks on her fingers, making it look terrifying.

Fiennes frowned and looked at Su Wan worriedly.

“Miss Su, is your hand okay? Does this happen every time you play the Guqin?”

Su Wan did not expect Fiennes to notice this. She had been immersed in the joy of being hired and had forgotten that her hand was still hurting.

Su Wan smiled embarrassedly and quickly moved her hand behind her back.

“I forgot to oil the Guqin just now. It will be better if I notice it next time.”

Fiennes’ face darkened. He finally understood why Su Wan had looked at him hesitantly before she had played the Guqin.
