Chapter 875: Heart-to-Heart with Her, Talking about Love 3
"Why?" Lu Jihan asked.
"Because that’s not a piece that can be played well just like that."
Song Yinyin recalled the scene at the time, and said softly:
"The techniques in that piece are difficult, and ordinary people might not play it well. It requires two people working perfectly together to truly showcase it. When to rise, when to transition, how long the pauses should be, the strength of the strong beats, how weak the weak beats should be, even the jumping notes—all of which he completed so well, almost exactly like my mom..."
Recalling the situation at that time, she had to admit that it was a miracle.
"I should have had a premonition back then. If he hadn’t played that piece with my mom before, how could they be so in sync?"
Lu Jihan nodded in sudden realization.
No wonder, that day she and President Shi Mai’er played so well that everyone was captivated by their music.
"Also, that morning he came to the hotel where we were staying and talked to me about drinking juice."
"What did he say that day?" Lu Jihan asked again.
"He didn’t really say anything."
Song Yinyin shook her head, then changed the topic.
"But I found out that he and Da Bai have a common habit of not liking kiwi juice and preferring mango juice. These signs tell me there are too many coincidences between him and me, and yet I was completely unaware..."
Lu Jihan held her in his arms, silently comforting her.
"I had this premonition in my heart, but I told myself not to dwell on it. After all, the possibility of me being his daughter is very slim, not to mention he already has Shana. Why would he care about me, and why should I disturb their lives?"
Song Yinyin chuckled at herself.
"Ah, yes, when he came to send us off today, he didn’t mention anything about my origin. It seems he doesn’t want to acknowledge our relationship either."
While saying this, even Song Yinyin didn’t realize she was trembling slightly, showing an imperceptible sadness and loss on her face.
Lu Jihan furrowed his brow, cupped her face, looked up at her, and said seriously:
"Yinyin, don’t randomly guess the President’s thoughts. He might have his own reasons for not acknowledging you. But I’m certain he cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked his life to personally go to the airport to see you off in front of the public."
"..."
Seeing her remain silent, just pressing her lips tightly, Lu Jihan rested his forehead against hers.
"Don’t tell me he was only there to see me off. Don’t tell me you didn’t see how his eyes constantly followed you before you left. Don’t tell me you didn’t notice his concern for you. If you can’t see it, it only means you’re avoiding it; you’re being willfully blind."
"..."
Song Yinyin moved her lips, wanting to refute him, but couldn’t find the words.
Lu Jihan was right; she wasn’t blind, just avoiding the truth, choosing to be blind.
But even if she sees it, what can be done?
Can he make up for her mother’s pain?
She shook her head and said, "Even if he cares about me, so what? He’s a President of a country, and I’m just an ordinary citizen of Country Z. It would be unnecessary for him to acknowledge me!"
"It might even become a bother for him. If someone finds out I’m his illegitimate daughter and reports it, would it affect his political career? I think he’s most likely worried about this and that’s why he doesn’t dare to acknowledge me."
Song Yinyin laughed coldly in mockery.
