Wouldn’t that be giving myself away by saying it like this?
Cheng Lie didn’t doubt Yun Shifei; he was just curious about what Yun Shifei would perform.
"Are you going up to sing or to dance?"
"Neither, I’m going up to play the piano."
Cheng Lie was a bit surprised, stopped tapping on the keyboard, turned sideways, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs: "You know how to play the piano?"
Yun Shifei replied with an "um": "I learned it over the sumr. After the college entrance exams, I wasn’t that busy, right? My dad was annoyed that I just slept and ate snacks at ho all day, so he forced to sign up for an interesting course to try out."
In a flash, Yun Shifei had already thought of an excuse for herself.
She thought this excuse was simply perfect.
Even though she learned to paint over the sumr, turning painting into music was essentially the sa principle.
Cheng Lie couldn’t help but furrow his brow; Zhao Pan and the others hadn’t ntioned to him that she had learned piano.
But then again, the Yun Family had money. Yun Shifei didn’t need to particularly learn outside; she could just hire a teacher. If she learned at ho, he wouldn’t know.
Thinking this way, Cheng Lie felt a bit unhappy again. He hadn’t even heard her play the piano yet, and she was going to play for others.
"When will you play the piano for too?" Cheng Lie subconsciously asked what he wanted to ask.
"Ah... if you want to listen, I’ll play for you another day, as long as there’s a piano, it’s fine."
Cheng Lie quietly noted Yun Shifei’s words.
They chatted for a while longer, and Yun Shifei didn’t tell him about the misunderstanding she experienced at school because of him.
She tried to pick only the good things to tell Cheng Lie.
Talking about unhappy things would make Cheng Lie unhappy too; she still wanted him to be a bit happier.
Listening to Yun Shifei talk about all the happy things, carefree like a little fool, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but ask, "Is going to university that fun?"
"Um... yeah, it’s quite fun," Yun Shifei replied.
"How fun?"
He hadn’t even had the ti to go to school. Looking at the stuff on the screen, a model diagram, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but press his temples.
That was the price he paid.
Thinking about how Cheng Lie didn’t get to go to school and was already working, Yun Shifei said, "It’s not that fun. It’s pretty much like high school, studying every day and then playing with friends when there’s ti."
Just like that, simple and straightforward.
Listening to her speak so cautiously, as if she was afraid not going to school would upset him, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but want to laugh.
His girl was always so understanding, always so sensitive.
But being so kind-hearted, it was too easy for her to get hurt.
"Shi Fei, are you happy being with ?" he suddenly asked.
On the other end of the phone, Yun Shifei’s heart couldn’t help but race again.
"I am happy." She said softly.
But inside, she felt like jumping for joy, super happy, okay?
So now she was working very hard to beco an outstanding person before graduating from university, ready to confess to Cheng Lie.
Confessing to her future big boss... thinking of this, Yun Shifei blushed a little. Would the boss even look at her?
The address of the party was at a five-star hotel in the city center.
The hotel was splendidly decorated. As soon as Yun Shifei walked in, she was dazzled by the surroundings.
The venue had just been set up; a piano was placed next to the stage, right in the corner, allowing Yun Shifei to breathe a sigh of relief.
Sitting there, she’d be hidden by the grand piano, unseen by others.
Xu Yue led Yun Shifei and another boy, ng Ran, backstage to a simple dressing room.
After introductions, they started putting makeup on Yun Shifei.
Today, Yun Shifei was wearing a simple white dress, sowhat vintage, featuring classic buttons and a lace-trimd hem, creating a blend of modern and vintage styles, which appeared uniquely charming.
This was a dress given to Yun Shifei by Old Mrs. Xu; there were many similar styles, as she believed only Yun Shifei and she were worthy of wearing such dresses.
While doing Yun Shifei’s makeup, the makeup artist couldn’t help but remark, "Girl, you’ve got such great skin."
So fair and delicate, it didn’t even need much makeup to look stunning.
And her complexion was just as nice, rosy and glowing.
Her features too, bright and lively; even without makeup, she wouldn’t look plain at all.
For a mont, she didn’t know how to apply makeup on her.
It seed like adding anything more could ruin her natural beauty.
Finally, the makeup artist decided to give Yun Shifei a simple look.
After putting on makeup, Yun Shifei appeared a bit more mature, shedding so of her youthful aura.
With so ti before the event started, Yun Shifei wanted to get familiar with the piano, so she went to the stage and began casually playing.
In a good mood, Yun Shifei played so cheerful pieces.
So were obscure piano pieces she loved in her past life, all coming alive under her fingers.
"I think the junior plays the piano even better than ," ng Ran remarked to Xu Yue as he watched Yun Shifei play on stage.
"Yeah, no idea what grade she is in piano, initially assud she only knew simple pieces, but turns out she can handle various styles and repertoire," admitted Xu Yue, feeling like he’d uncovered a treasure.
Soon, the party began. According to Xu Yue’s earlier instructions, Yun Shifei played eight piano pieces, pausing whenever soone spoke.
The pieces were moderate, keeping the event’s atmosphere alive.
Just as she was playing the last one, ready to switch places with ng Ran, soone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
"I, Qin Yumo, will not marry Wen Lin as my wife!"
After the declaration, there was an uproar.
Stunned, Yun Shifei was caught off guard by the unexpected voice, which disrupted the event’s atmosphere.
She hesitated about whether to continue playing.
Just a little bit left to play, Yun Shifei thought, maybe just carry on, like a piano-playing machine without feelings.
Thus, the place beca very quiet, with only Yun Shifei playing the piano, and as luck would have it, the piece she was playing happened to be "Dream Wedding." Yun Shifei felt a bit stubborn.
After Qin Yumo shouted, as expected, the venue fell silent, and he sneered, knowing well what his father intended with this party. His father wanted him to be with Wen Lin, the heiress of the Wen Group.
But he hated family alliances, manipulated like a pawn; he refused to be one.
So, in a rebellious act, he made his announcent.
At that mont, Wen Lin, chatting with her friends not far away, paused and then smiled: "Who cares about such a playboy?"
She least admired such people, thinking he wanted the alliance.
The venue was quiet, with only the piano music flowing like a stream. Qin Yumo frowned and couldn’t help but look at the pianist, wondering who was so oblivious.
Unfortunately, blocked by the piano, he couldn’t see her.
