Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

A week later, the number of fans that Lin Shiyu had had increased to ninety million. She was the top search engine result on the internet and the topic of the town for an entire week.

Later on, Lin Shiyu officially put up a notice stating that Lu Qi’er had infringed her reputation, thereby revealing the truth of Lu Qi’er’s theft of the song “Legend”.

Throwing a stone into the sea resulted in thousands of waves ¹ . The entire Capital and the entire music industry now knew that “Legend” was Lin Shiyu’s and that Lu Qi’er was merely a shameless imposter.

Lion was Lin Shiyu, and Lin Shiyu was Lion!

The incident that caught people’s attention the most was when the heartthrob of the music industry, Fu Jingtong, sent a congratulatory electronic message to her @Lin Shiyu with two words, ‘Song request’.

This talented, cool prince had formally requested Lin Shiyu for a song.

That night, Lin Shiyu formally messaged @Fu Jingtong, with a simple few words in reply, ‘I would appreciate your guidance.’

And so, the news about Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu’s collaboration spread like wildfire, and all their fans were breathlessly anticipating.

One month later, when Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu’s single was released in the market, it was sold out completely within ten minutes.

This single, ‘Fate’, was the product of the first collaboration between Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu. In the single, Lin Shiyu exhibited her amazing vocals, which were a feast for people’s ears. Within an hour, this song, ‘Fate’, had created new records and topped all the music charts across the globe.

Three days later, ‘Fate’ was nominated for the Grammy Awards. Tonight, Fu Jingtong would be bringing Lin Shiyu to step on this world-class red carpet.

At this point in time, a long, black commercial luxury car weaved through the streets of the bustling city. Bei Chuan was driving and Fu Qinglun was sitting at the back.

Fu Qinglun was in formal wear. He was wearing a tailored white shirt within, paired with a black coat and trousers. There was a brooch pinned onto the front pocket at his chest, which gave out a cold, hard and eye-catching luster.

The neon lights in the city streamed through the car windows and illuminated this man’s handsome, refined face, which was so charming that one was unable to look away.

Fu Qinglun leaned against the backseat with his long legs gracefully crossed over each other. His head was resting against the backseat and his long fingers massaged his temples. His facial features revealed a hint of weariness.

He had just rushed down from an international conference and was now heading directly to the Grammy Awards.

This was such a significant moment in her life and he wanted to be a part of it.

The radio in the commercial luxury car was turned on and the Grammy Awards was broadcasted live around the whole world. The international host was speaking excitedly in fluent English.

“Next, coming up on stage are the most notable guests tonight. They are Jingtong and Lion from China. Everyone should be pretty familiar with Jingtong. When he was eighteen years old, he had stood on the stage in the Grammy Awards and was crowned as the “Asian Song Prince”. He is extremely talented. Everyone must be curious about Lion. Lion has just entered the music industry a month ago, but with astonishing speed due to her extraordinary talent, she has managed to make it to the stage of the Grammy Awards in the shortest time ever. Let’s shine the spotlight on Lion!”

The fans shrieked in excitement. Lin Shiyu was going to appear on stage and the fans were going insane.

Fu Qinglun glanced down at the luxury watch on his muscular wrist and lightly pursed his thin lips. “Bei Chuan, can you drive faster?”

Bei Chuan apologized. “President, this is already the maximum speed. We will definitely be unable to make it for Young Madam’s appearance.”

Fu Qinglun turned his head and peered out of the clear car windows. The commercial luxury car was weaving through the bustling area of the center of the city. A huge liquid-crystal-definition television screen was airing the Grammy Awards. There was manic shrieking and then two figures entered his field of vision.

Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu had appeared on the stage together.

Tonight, Fu Jingtong was wearing a dark blue tailored shirt with a black coat and trousers, which was the classic outfit of a heartthrob. His facial features were handsome and he exuded a cold demeanor. He was the center of attention the moment he appeared on the stage.

There was a fair hand holding on to his strong arm. Lin Shiyu had also appeared.

The crowd gasped. Fu Qinglun’s eyes sparked. On this night, Lin Shiyu was wearing a light gold slip dress. The shimmering mermaid skirt perfectly accentuated her slender figure. Her pitch-back hair had been permed into large waves that cascaded down her back in an alluring manner. She was extremely eye-catching.

Her exquisite facial features were illuminated by the spotlights. Her glistening red lips were curved and she looked poised and beautiful.

At this moment, she stunned everyone.

She was meant for the stage. Even though this day had come late, but it had finally arrived.

Fu Qinglun looked at Lin Shiyu for a long time and he was unable to avert his gaze. She was so beautiful and enchanting tonight.

…

One hour later, the commercial luxury car arrived at the Grammy Awards venue. However, by then, the show had already ended.

Bei Chuan pushed open the door to the ballroom and there was no one inside. He reported in a hushed voice. “President, Young Madam has been awarded the “Asia’s Diva” laurel and she played a duet on the piano together with Fu Jingtong. As this was a live broadcast show, the internet has been buzzing with excitement. The people on the internet were say… saying…”

Bei Chuan was unable to complete his sentence. He was cautiously observing the man’s countenance.

Fu Qinglun took steady footsteps down the platform and arrived at the center of the stage.

There was a piano. Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu had played a duet on this piano together.

Twenty-one-year-old Lin Shiyu had been crowned as a diva. She had succeeded.

He stretched out his white, clean fingers, and gently pressed the piano keys. The beautiful music notes resounded in the air.

“What were they saying?” He asked in a low voice, which did not seem to reveal any emotion.

“The people on the internet and those fans were privately s-saying that Fu Jingtong and Young Madam are a match made in heaven.”

Bei Chuan had already put it across very simply and ambiguously. Actually, every scene that Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu had appeared together in had been made into dynamic pictures on the internet. A cool prince and a ravishing beauty together had made those people on the internet gossip their hearts away.

“Is that so?” Fu Qinglun mused, then said, “You leave first.”

“Yes.” Bei Chuan retreated and went down from the stage.

Fu Qinglun’s tall body stood at one side of the piano. The lights in the ballroom were not switched on, but the bright, clear moonlight shone on this piano. He sat down, placing his ten white, clean fingers onto the piano and started playing. A string of beautiful music notes sounded in the air immediately.

At the bottom of the stage, Bei Chuan was stunned. It turned out that President could… play the piano.

Not only that… President’s performance on the piano was stellar and definitely would not lose out to Fu Jingtong.

But President had never played the piano in front of anyone before.

This was such a familiar tune. Ah! It was the single that Fu Jingtong and Lin Shiyu had collaborated on, ‘Fate’.

Fu Qinglun had heard this song ‘Fate’ only once and had not found out on how to play it. When he placed his hands on the piano, the notes simply flowed into his mind.

No one had known that he could play the piano.

He had prodigious musical talent that was out of this world. And yet, no one had ever known.
