Chapter 144: Playing The Piano

Yun Qing listened to Ye Zhi’s words and couldn’t help but laugh.

This scene fell into the eyes of Huo Chuan and Lin Yu, who had just walked into the bar.

Lin Yu instantly felt the air around him turn cold, and he didn’t even dare to look at Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan lifted his leg and strode in the direction of Yun Qing and Ye Zhi.

“Huo, calm down, calm down…”

Lin Yu hurriedly chased after him, afraid that he would cause trouble due to his impulsiveness.

At this moment, the music stopped abruptly. An Xin, who was on stage, took her curtain call and responded to the warm applause.

An Xin looked up at Yun Qing, who was not far away, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Gu Zhi sensed that something was wrong with An Xin. She moved closer to Yun Qing’s ear and said, “What is this An Xin planning?”

Yun Qing glanced at her and did not care at all.

With just An Xin, what could she be capable of?

On the stage, An Xin walked to the microphone and said with a smile, “Hello, everyone. I’m An Xin. It’s my honor to be able to attend Young Master Ye’s birthday party. Here, I wish Young Master Ye a happy birthday.”

Ye Zhi curled his lips and raised his wineglass. The crowd cheered.

The applause fell, and An Xin’s gaze landed leisurely on Yun Qing. “I heard that Miss Yun Qing and Young Master Ye are good friends. I’d like to take this opportunity to invite Miss Yun to perform a song on stage as a birthday present for Young Master Ye.

“I wonder if Miss Yun would do me the honor?”

Making Yun Qing lose face on such an occasion could alleviate the hatred in An Xin’s heart.

She was the daughter of a multinational corporation. Coupled with Ye Zhi’s identity, it was Yun Qing’s fortune to be invited to perform on stage!

Yun Qing looked coldly at An Xin on stage, as if she was watching a joke.

Where did she get the courage to make her a guest of honor?

Was she trying to prove that Yun Qing was not as capable as her in front of everyone?

Ye Zhi immediately frowned when he heard An Xin’s words. He said coldly to his assistant beside him, “Who invited this idiot here?”

The assistant’s face alternated between green and white. He knew that Ye Zhi treated Yun Qing like treasure. Now that Yun Qing was being targeted by such a woman, Ye Zhi must be furious.

“Miss Yun, is your relationship with Young Master Ye not worth a piano piece? Or don’t you know how to play it?”

An Xin deliberately made things difficult for her and even used Ye Zhi as a springboard.

Ye Zhi was about to step forward to stop her, but Yun Qing pulled him back and gave him a look. Then, she looked at An Xin on the stage.

She smiled slightly, held the hem of her dress, and walked onto the stage generously.

Under the lights, Yun Qing was sparkling and graceful. An Xin was immediately outclassed by her.

An Xin was about to say something, but Yun Qing glared at her. An Xin was so scared that she didn’t dare to say anything and walked off the stage resentfully.

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Yun Qing’s slender hands rested on the piano.

A light and lively “Variations on Little Star” was played.

This song was rather difficult. Not only could Yun Qing play it fluently, but she could also integrate it with her own feelings.

Although it was a familiar song, Yun Qing played it with a different flavor.

Sometimes it was lighthearted, sometimes it was gentle. Those notes turned into stars in the sky, scattered in every corner, illuminating the entire venue.

And Yun Qing was the crescent moon that was adored by the stars, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

Only then did Huo Chuan know that Yun Qing could play the piano.

She, who was playing the piano, was also so charming.

It was because he had missed too many opportunities. He had missed all the opportunities to get to know Yun Qing, and now he could only get to know her again under such circumstances.

Huo Chuan looked at the bright and beautiful her, and his heart ached.

She celebrated Ye Zhi’s birthday, played the piano for him, and even gave him that watch as a birthday present.

He turned to look at Ye Zhi. At that moment, the love in Ye Zhi’s eyes was overflowing. The watch in his hand was shining, and it stung Huo Chuan’s eyes.

After the song ended, Yun Qing slowly stood up and walked to the microphone. Her gaze swept across everyone below the stage before finally focusing on Ye Zhi.

“Happy birthday, Ye Zhi.”

Thunderous applause rang out. She walked down the stage but was pulled back by a large hand midway.

“President Huo, what are you doing?”

Ye Zhi wanted to go forward to welcome Yun Qing, but Huo Chuan beat him to it.

He was very unhappy, even if the other party was Huo Chuan, he did not care.
