Chapter 1384: Playing the Piano

This can’t help but spark speculation.

Ever since Chu Yao debuted, Mo Tingshen has been there to support her every step of the way.

Now that he’s getting married, he’s ignoring Chu Yao.

Could it be that his fiancée is jealous, or has Chu Yao already been abandoned by Shengchen?

How could Mo Tingshen bear to let go of such a cash cow?

He wasn’t really thinking about Chu Yao.

Following his gaze toward the kitchen, he glanced back, the same casual smile still on his face, “Did Miss Lu receive the invitation?”

“Oh, I got it, I just tossed it aside.”

He chuckled, completely indifferent, “No worries, if Miss Lu is willing to come, an invitation is not necessary.”

Lu Zhenzhen gave an indifferent “Oh” and didn’t say anything else.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Bo Yanching came over, picked Nan Jiaojiao up from the carpet, bent down to grab her slippers, carried her to the kitchen to wash her hands, and then directly placed her in a dining chair.

Qiao Man’s culinary skills were impressive and received unanimous praise.

Nan Jiaojiao gave some face and ate a few bites, but she preferred Bo Yanching’s Jianghu cuisine.

Lu Zhenzhen didn’t eat any of Qiao Man’s food, nor did she drink a sip of wine.

She left after she was full.

Nan Jiaojiao’s bowl had no rice, only dishes.

Bo Yanching kept picking dishes for her while he drank with the other two men and didn’t eat much.

By the end, when Nan Jiaojiao was almost full, she picked from her own bowl and fed it all to Bo Yanching.

The phone rang; it was Ye Wanting calling her on video.

Nan Jiaojiao answered, with the camera facing her.

The lighting on Ye Wanting’s side was dim; she seemed to be at a dining table, waving at Nan Jiaojiao with a smile, “Jiaojiao, guess where I am?”

Nan Jiaojiao guessed, “A bar?”

Yaen Chi leaned over, squeezed into the frame, his eyes fixed on Ye Wanting’s side, almost snatching the phone away.

With a dark expression, he only had that look for a moment before raising his trademark light smile, “Look at you, little girl, going to a bar to have fun while we’re not around.”

“It’s not a bar; there’s a new atmospheric Western restaurant near our university.

I came with my roommates.

The food is good, but I think it’s not as tasty as Jianghu cuisine.

The atmosphere here is nice; there was even someone playing the violin just now.”

Yaen Chi raised his eyebrows, smiling with pressed lips, “Is that so?

That’s nice.”

Ye Wanting wasn’t really explaining to him; she didn’t hear what Yaen Chi was saying.

Caught up in her excitement, her words spilled out quickly, “Jiaojiao, next time you come, I’ll take you here to experience it.”

Nan Jiaojiao replied with a smile, “Sure.”

Beside her, someone nudged Ye Wanting with their elbow, “Wanting, go up and play a piece for them.

You play much better than their pianist.”

Ye Wanting hesitated, “Better not, they’re professionals, what am I?”

“Don’t belittle yourself!

I heard you play last time, and you were amazing!”

Her roommate pointed to a sign and whispered, “If you play well, the place gives a reward, eight hundred bucks.

That means our meal is free.

Give it a try.”

The other two roommates also encouraged Ye Wanting.

She felt quite embarrassed but couldn’t resist her roommates’ enthusiasm.

Quickly, she told Nan Jiaojiao on the video call, “Jiaojiao, wait for me for a bit, I’ll be right back.”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “Go ahead, I won’t hang up.”

Ye Wanting responded with a hum.

She stood up and walked toward the stage.

That’s when it was clear she was wearing a white dress, the skirt falling below her knees, with long sleeves, and the neckline not low.

The waist was cinched tightly, and she stood just where the light shone on her, revealing her long legs under the skirt as she walked.
