Chapter 435: Secretary Si Taking Action
While Tang Li was looking at the five music scores, Tang Zitong sat in front of the Guzheng. She said to Tang Li, “Ever since I received the music scores, I’ve been thinking about which instruments I should use to play them. However, I’ve tried several instruments, but none of them felt right.”
Tang Zitong even got the film crew to send her the drama script so that she could read it. “The song at the end went from happy to heavy. If I only play one instrument, I feel like something is missing.”
“Then combine a couple of instruments. There are so many imperial instruments. What are you worried about?”
“I’m worried about not having that many people who can play the instruments together with me.”
After saying that, Tang Zitong stood up and walked to Tang Li’s side. She pointed at one of the scores and said, “This piece requires a dozen instruments for it to sound great.”
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, “Everyone in the Tang family knows how to play instruments. You can ask them to participate.”
Tang Zitong was enlightened when she heard that. She patted her head and said, “Why did that not cross my mind?”
With that, she became frustrated again. “You are only free today. I don’t know when I can get you to come over again. I’m not sure if Lin and Huan can come back on leave from school.”
“Don’t worry about this. Call First Uncle and Second Uncle first. As long as most of them are free, Lin and Huan will definitely come back.”
Tang Zitong thought it made sense and quickly took out her phone to call her family.
While Tang Zitong was making the call, there was a knock on the door. Tang Li and Tang Zitong looked over at the same time.
When they saw the person standing there, the call went through. When First Master Tang asked Tang Zitong what was going on, she forgot what to say. Seeing that Tang Zitong was in a daze, Tang Li took her phone and said to First Master Tang, “Uncle, here is the thing…”
With that, she walked out.
When she reached the door, she threw a meaningful glance at Secretary Si.
Secretary Si nodded at her and walked in.
After Tang Li walked out with the phone, Tang Zitong came back to her senses and asked warily, “Why are you here?”
Since the last time Secretary Si made a fool of himself in front of her family, Tang Zitong was afraid that he would do something stupid again.
She had been having a hard time at home these past two days. She was annoyed by two middle-aged women who kept asking her about him.
Secretary Si subconsciously adjusted his glasses and said, “I’m here to help.”
“Help with what?” When he walked over, Tang Zitong subconsciously took a step back. However, after she took a step back, she felt that she shouldn’t be the one backing off, so she took another step towards him.
When the two of them faced each other, Tang Zitong realized that she was a head lower than Secretary Si. She quickly raised her head high and puffed out her chest. “Weren’t you very displeased when I asked you for help before? I don’t have anything I need your help with now. Hurry up and leave.”
After she came back that night, she finally convinced her mother and Second Aunt that she had nothing to do with this man. Why did he come at this time? If they came later, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself.
Secretary Si looked at Tang Zitong, who obviously didn’t welcome him, and felt a little sad.
He pursed his lips and stood there without moving.
Seeing that he was not leaving, Tang Li pushed him.
“Secretary Si, I really don’t need your help today. Aren’t you very busy? Go back to work.”
She was about to retract her hand when she was grabbed by a large hand.
An electric current spread throughout her body from where she was touched. Tang Zitong’s face instantly turned red.
“Let… let go.”
Secretary Si looked at her and said seriously, “My name is Si Haocheng.”
“Er…”
Tang Zitong looked at him in a daze.
Secretary Si suddenly leaned towards her.
Tang Zitong subconsciously leaned back, her face even redder and her heart racing.
However, she leaned backward too much and was about to fall.
Secretary Si placed a hand on her back and looked at her face. “I’ve said before that I want to date you.”
Tang Zitong’s heart skipped a beat. She forgot how intimate their positions were and continued to push him. “But I didn’t promise you anything.”
She placed two hands on his chest but couldn’t budge him an inch.
Secretary Si looked at her and was about to say something.
Tang Zitong suddenly saw a rack behind Secretary Si falling towards him. Without thinking, she grabbed his waist and pushed to the side. “Secretary Si, move aside.”
When the two of them dodged at the same time, the rack fell to the ground.
Tang Zitong quickly got out of Secretary Si’s arms to see what was going on with that rack.
“It was stable. Why did it collapse all of a sudden?”
With that, she looked at Secretary Si.
Secretary Si looked at her with sparkling eyes.
After a while, he said to Tang Zitong, “I’ve had bad luck since I was young. No matter where I go, I attract bad luck for no reason…”
The more Secretary Si spoke, the more Tang Zitong sympathized with him.
“After I turned 18, my bad luck spread to my family. Those who are related to me will be unlucky if they stay with me for too long, especially my family. They are either sick or injured, so ever since I was in university, I rarely went home, afraid that I would spread this bad luck to them.”
At this point, he looked at her with sparkling eyes. “Other than Tang Li, you are the only one who can help me get rid of my bad luck.”
“Me?” Tang Zitong felt a little confused. “Fourth Sister is very good at this. It’s understandable that she can help. I don’t know anything. How can I help you?”
“You can. Last time in the banquet hall, that crystal chandelier fell down not because of the mistake of the hotel staff, but because of my bad luck. But as long as you’re with me, I’ll be safe.”
Tang Zitong was at a loss for words.
Secretary Si continued, “Previously, Tang Li told me that my other half likes music and knows imperial instruments. As long as I marry her, my bad luck will disappear.”
When Secretary Si said this, there was a gentleness in his eyes.
Tang Zitong was used to seeing his expressionless face. Now that she looked into his eyes, her heart was racing even faster.
She screamed in her heart, “No way, why is Secretary Si so freaking handsome today? Who can refuse such a pretty man?”
At this moment, Secretary Si suddenly brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. He said piously, “Zitong, I know you’ll think that I’m doing this for myself if I suddenly propose to you, but I hope you can give me a chance. We can start by dating. If you still don’t like me after we start dating, I definitely won’t pester you.”
Tang Zitong was a little dizzy. Her face was red and she didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, her mother’s anxious voice was heard. “Oh come on, why is she standing there like a dummy? Accept it.”
Then, the twins agreed. “Yes! Yes!”
Tang Zitong and Si Haocheng looked at the door at the same time and found that the Tang family was all standing there.
Tang Zitong was petrified.
When did they arrive?!!!
