After hanging up the phone, Sheng Ting was all smiles.

His personal choreographer would be coming to dance with him. A blush tinged his cheeks as her gorgeous face appeared in his thoughts.

He looked like a man in love.

..

At 6 PM, Yao Tang showed up at the entrance of No.1 High School right on time.

She had already asked Xi Yan for a night off.

Within a few seconds, a white van stopped right in front of her. The car windows rolled down, revealing a small face.

It was Liu Kun, Sheng Ting’s assistant.

Liu Kun’s face was filled with enthusiasm. He hurriedly stepped out of the van and held the door. “Miss Yao,” he greeted. “It’s great to see you.”

“We’ve already prepared all the clothes you need, and we have already booked an artist to style you once you’ve arrived at the venue.”

The girl in front of him was truly beautiful with her snow-white skin and soft features. There was a certain halo around her body as if she could shine even in the darkness.

She’d truly become very popular one day.

“Okay,” she responded, stepping into the car.

..

On the other side, Yao Ran had already changed into a formal evening dress. She stared at the floor-to-ceiling mirror, appearing graceful and gorgeous.

“Yao Ran,” she murmured to herself. “This is an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. You must not mess this up.”

After saying that, the corner of her lips lifted into a smile.

The dress she was wearing today was the handiwork of a famous foreign designer. Her mother truly made a good choice, especially in the way it had hugged her waist and made her appear even slender.

Just then, she could hear Qin Man’s voice from the living room,

“Ranran, are you done? The makeup artist has arrived!”

“Okay, I’ll be down soon.”

Yao Ran grabbed the hem of her dress and walked down the stairs.

..

The charity gala officially began at seven o’ clock.

Yao Ran sat in the backstage. Her fingers swept across the piano keys, and she took a deep breath. It was almost time.

In the Golden Hall, the lights flickered–signaling the beginning of the show.

Reporters were gathered all around, ready to take pictures.

There was a camera placed right in front of the stage. It was responsible for the live broadcast so everyone around the city could watch all the performances.

The hall was filled with people of different societal statuses.

The more famous people were seated in the front row. All of them were being called out by their names, as they were led down the hall.

The Young Master of the Qin Family was also seated at the front row.

Cheng Yan was sitting in the second row. He was too busy fiddling with his phone in boredom, waiting for the charity gala to begin.

“Hey, why aren’t you in the first row?” Qin Hao glanced at him in confusion. “Wouldn’t that make for a better view?”

“Sure, but how can I look at my phone if I’m there?”

He waved his phone, revealing Yao Tang’s name on the screen. It seemed that he was speaking to her this entire time.

Qin Hao simply rolled his eyes in response. Why wasn’t he surprised?

It didn’t take long for everything to be ready. The host immediately came onto the stage, waving his hands around the world.

“Welcome to Charity Gala, where we make a difference every single day!” The host bowed in greeting before glancing at his card.

“Today, we’ll be welcoming Yao Ran, the daughter of the Yao Family, to perform a piano solo entitled “The Third Nocturne”. Why don’t we give her a round of applause?”

Instantly, the entire hall echoed with warm applause.

Yao Ran, who was wearing a long muslin dress, entered the stage. She held her head up high, highlighting her rosy cheeks and sweet appearance.

She sat on the edge of the piano bench, focused at the keys before her.

Soon, the melodious piano tune echoed in the hall. Everyone relaxed in their seat, even swaying their heads from the music.

It was like a breath of fresh air. Her fingers moved from key to key, as the audience found themselves even more immersed in the playful and soft music.

They all had their eyes closed, imagining the beautiful scenery in their minds.

The piano truly had the power to relax almost anyone and everyone.

When the song finally ended, the room erupted into a thunderous applause.

Everyone in the front row, impressed by her performance, whispered into the other’s ear.

They were nothing short of compliments.

“As expected, she’s the only daughter of the Yao Family. She has so much potential.”

“To be able to play this piece at such a young age. She’s extremely talented.”

“There’s no one in the City that’s comparable to her.”

“She’s really not bad at all.”

“I heard that her academic performance isn’t too bad too. She’s always ranked first in her grade at No. 1 High School. It’s quite impressive.”

There were waves of praises being heard across the front of the stage. Yao Yuan, upon hearing this, grinned in satisfaction. Just the sound of them singing praises for his daughter was enough to fill his heart with joy.

Let’s see if anyone else would talk badly about his daughter after this!

Qin Man also had her phone out, recording the entire performance.

The girl really made her proud!

She really wasted all her years in those piano classes. Not only did she play well, but she had also exuded a certain gracefulness in doing so.

Yao Ran heard all the compliments around her and smiled gently at all of them.

With a smile, she stepped down the stage.

At that time, people who were watching from the live broadcast also had something to say.
