Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 13) Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 13) Tang Zhongyi was almost dazed by the huge surprise.

It was like someone who had painstakingly nurtured a sapling, hoping that one day it would bloom into a cluster of flowers, but upon waking up, they discovered that the entire courtyard was in full bloom.

His fervent gaze tightly locked onto Gu Shengyin, his tone even trembling a bit, “…Zhaozhao?”

Gu Shengyin actually wanted to respond to him, but the system kept reminding her in her mind that the host must not deviate too much from the character set up.

So, all she could do was smile at him.

Although she did not speak, Tang Zhongyi was also content. He reached out his hand to hold Gu Shengyin’s, lifting it to his lips for a kiss.

“Rest well, good night.”

Gu Shengyin slept well all night, while Tang Zhongyi was so excited that he almost didn’t sleep at all.

Starting from the next day, the Tang Family noticed that Ning Zhao had changed.

During meals, when someone offered her food, she no longer ignored them. When Father Tang and Mother Tang called her at times, she also responded. The happiest was young Tang Qian because Auntie Zhaozhao smiled at him!

Auntie Zhaozhao looked really beautiful when she smiled; young Tang Qian was utterly enraptured.

Father Tang and Mother Tang were also extremely relieved. Mother Tang, thinking of her departed friend, felt her eyes redden: “Seeing Zhaozhao like this puts me at ease. This child is improving. If Su Qi could see this, who knows how happy she would be.”

Su Qi was Ning Zhao’s mother’s name.

Father Tang thought further, always feeling that his second son had something more than ordinary for Ning Zhao: “Have you noticed that our Zhongyi seems overly concerned about Zhaozhao?”

As he said this, Mother Tang also realized it. Wasn’t it true? Although Tang Zhongyi didn’t have a nightlife of carousing, he normally would return home late or not come home at all due to friends’ gatherings. Ever since Ning Zhao arrived at the Tang household, he came home on time almost every day and whenever he had free time, he stayed with Ning Zhao. According to the household staff, even brushing hair was something the Second Young Master wouldn’t let anyone else do for her.

And also, Ning Zhao clung to him closely.

With such thoughts, Mother Tang became distressed: “Zhaozhao isn’t even of age yet. This scoundrel, I need to ask him about it!”

Her nature was straightforward, and the moment Tang Zhongyi came home, he was informed that his mother was looking for him.

“Mom, what is it that you needed me for?” he asked as he casually removed his suit jacket.

Mother Tang looked at her son, who was a fine figure of a man, and felt proud, but then she remembered the day’s concerns.

She didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “Zhongyi, tell me, what are your thoughts regarding Zhaozhao?”

After all, they were family members who had lived together for over twenty years; with only a moment’s thought, Tang Zhongyi understood what his mother was getting at—she must have noticed something was off.

“Mom, I won’t beat around the bush,” he stood up, looking squarely at his mother, “I like Zhaozhao. Once she comes of age, I will be her lover, and after she turns twenty, I will be her husband.”

“You…” Mother Tang looked at her son, who was speaking with such conviction, and simply did not know what to say.

“Zhaozhao is only sixteen,” Mother Tang struggled for a while before squeezing out these words.

“It’s ideal to cultivate affection from a young age,” said Tang Zhongyi nonchalantly.

“Zhaozhao doesn’t understand anything, what if she doesn’t like you in the future? What if she falls in love with someone else?” Mother Tang, hearing the certainty in her son’s voice, grew even more worried.

Tang Zhongyi’s expression remained unchanged, “That’s not a possibility. She will only like me, and she can only like me!”
