Bafang International Hotel's presidential suite on the fifty-eighth floor!
A stunning beauty in a radiant purple cheongsam was standing motionless in front of the hotel's grand floor-to-ceiling window at this mont.
She tilted her head slightly upward, and with the skyscrapers no longer in the way, a brilliant starry sky dotted with countless stars sprawled above her, gazing at the cosmos, where stars twinkled abundantly.
Her gaze drifted downward, and at the end of her sightline stood The Bund and Lujiazui, facing each other across the river, where the Huangpu River and the Suzhou River gently converged.
In the most central location of the Magic City, admiring this enchanting view, this had been one of Wu Xinyi's greatest wishes, and now that it was fulfilled, her heart held a fascination that she had expected, along with a hint of indescribable unease!
Two hours ago, as usual, she had co to the Bafang International Hotel to perform. For Wu Xinyi, who often perford in various upscale venues, this was supposed to be just a routine, ordinary performance.
Stay tuned to m-v l|e'-
However, unexpectedly, the figure that once made her heart race slightly, also appeared in the hotel.
As for that performance at Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One a few days ago, Wu Xinyi was deeply impressed. Although she frequently mingled in high-end places and had considerable experience, the opulence of that midday al at the villa still managed to shatter her perceptions.
The precious and scarce Gold caviar, a ham that took four years to produce, black-feathered chicken priced at fifty thousand RMB each, a bottle of champagne crowned with a 19-carat diamond...!
The extravagance of that single lunch could easily bankrupt an average family.
Cornered and responsible for playing the piano, Wu Xinyi felt a flicker of astonishnt each ti the middle-aged butler introduced a dish, and her entire being underwent a slight ripple of emotion!
Therefore, the unsettled Wu Xinyi made six minor mistakes during the half-hour recital.
If it had been a competition, those slight mistakes would have been fatal, but luckily, it was just an ordinary performance!
After the al ended and a few guests had left, just as Wu Xinyi was about to stretch her stiff limbs, that man with golden glasses perched on his nose began a casual, warm-hearted conversation with her...
Even now, Wu Xinran could vividly rember the tenderness in his eyes.
A top-tier tycoon who'd spent millions on a single al taking the initiative to engage warmly in conversation with a woman playing the piano, Wu Xinran could see a serene tranquility in his eyes, devoid of any ill-intended prying.
It was from that mont that Wu Xinran's heart felt a delicate ripple for the first ti because of a man!
And this unexpected encounter caused the ripple in Wu Xinran's heart to swell even more...
That must be why, when she saw him again, she took the initiative to approach him!
What Wu Xinran had not anticipated, however, was that after she turned to leave, he would send soone to bring her here!
The tall woman who had taken her breath away left after saying, "Mr. Chu will be here soon," then hurriedly departed.
So, at this mont, in the luxurious and vast presidential suite, there was only herself.
If she wanted, she could leave at any ti...!
But every ti those calm and gentle eyes ca to her mind, Wu Xinran abandoned the thought of leaving.
"He called here... There must be sothing urgent, but why choose the presidential suite?"
Does he see as soone casual in his heart? What should I do if he makes so inappropriate request...!"
All sorts of thoughts constantly fluttered through her mind, and the heart of the twenty-year-old innocent girl, already full of ripples, now surged with even greater turmoil!
In the music academy, Wu Xinyi might not be the prettiest, but if anyone is the most famous student, it would undoubtedly be her.
Wu Xinyi, with her ninety percent beauty score, has been naturally sensitive to various sounds since childhood. She could easily distinguish subtle differences between sounds and hear ultra-high frequencies that ordinary people cannot.
Wu Xinyi, who possessed absolute pitch, had displayed extraordinary musical talent from a young age.
She had won countless awards at various music competitions, and at fifteen, she secured the Princeton International Pianist Award. Touted as the strongest prodigy since the music academy's founding, Wu Xinyi had an incredibly promising future. Frequently performing at high-end clubs was her way of honing her skills.
However, no matter how talented the girl, when faced with a man who could make her heart race, she would still feel at a loss.
"Mr. Chu shouldn't be that kind of person... But that dark-faced man with him seems familiar, I think I've seen him sowhere before?"
The young woman muttered to herself, frowning slightly as if trying hard to rember sothing. After a mont, a spark lit up in her eyes. She quickly took out her phone, typed in "music academy anniversary," and hit search. Sure enough, the dark-faced man she had seen earlier in the lobby appeared in the photos on her phone!
"Sun Shangwu... President of Fuli Industry Group, ranked sixty-first on Forbes's list last year... with assets of thirty-two point six billion RMB!
No wonder he looked familiar; I've seen him at school ceremonies...!"
The girl muttering to herself suddenly rembered sothing. If she wasn't mistaken, there were three other n with Sun Shangwu in the hotel lobby, and from their easygoing chat, it was clear that these n likely had substantial wealth as well.
Then, trying to recall once more, it seed that the four middle-aged n at the dining table were all subtly centered around that young man...!
"He truly lives up to being the man who enjoys a million RMB luxury lunch."
Stars began to shimr in Wu Xinran's eyes as she smiled dreamily.
After a while, as if rembering sothing else, she glanced at the flamboyant cheongsam she was wearing and slightly pouted. Wu Xinran suddenly felt regret...
Why hadn't she worn her favorite red gown tonight...!
As the girl sighed with a complex heart, suddenly, a soft sound ca from the hotel door. The next mont, the door-handle turned, and then, a handso man with gold glasses on his nose finally appeared before her eyes.
The waves inside her grew into a tempest, and as Wu Xinyi's face began to warm up, the apologetic young man at the door said in a steady voice:
"Miss Wu, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!"
"It's okay... I an, I just arrived too... no, I an, it doesn't matter!"
Wu Xinyi, with her head slightly bowed, appeared sowhat flustered.
And her heart pounded as wildly as a startled fawn.
