Feng Ning was about to say something when another man approached and greeted them. "I never expected that I will be seeing an old friend here."
Upon turning their heads, they saw Xia Sinian, holding a wine of gla.s.s.
Xia Meiren grinned upon seeing her brother. "I thought that you're never going to show up here, brother."
"I have to take care of some things on my way here. Besides, I went to greet Mr. Andrew first before I came here." He saw the little boy that his sister was carrying which made his eyes narrow but he decided to ignore him.
This didn't escape Feng Ning's eyes. Was Xia Sinian not good with kids? "I didn't know that Sinian-ge is going to come here. How's your work in China?"
"So far it's going well." Xia Sinian said as he turned to Feng Ning. "When will you be going back?"
"I plan on going back next month." Feng Ning smiled. "I will be taking over the family business in China once I get back."
"That's good, I look forward on working with you."
"Brother, how long will you stay here?" Xia Meiren asked as she placed Little Melon back to his seat.
"Until next week, will you be coming back with me?"
Xia Meiren nodded. "I will. I think that it's finally time to go home. Grandma and Grandpa keeps on asking me when I'll come back and I plan on giving them a surprise."
"I see, that's good." He smiled. "I was able to hear all pf your achievements in the the news. To be able to win the International Chopin Piano Compet.i.tion, the Leeds Piano Compet.i.tion, and the International Tchaikovsky Compet.i.tion within four years, I am so proud of you."
Feng Ning nodded in agreement, "Especially when you're a female pianist. I always knew that you were good in playing the piano since we were young but I never expected that you'll be a genius in the instrument."
A light blush appeared on Xia Meiren's cheeks. "Both of you flatter me too much... of course I work hard and practice a lot to be able to be the person I am today."
