Chapter 391: Chapter 392: Relationship Crisis 4
"Thank you, Chairman!"
Having achieved his desired goal, Li Tingyan excitedly finished speaking and returned to his seat.
He happened to see Lu Chi, who, with a face flushed from drinking, was gazing intently at his wife on stage, who was nearing the end of her performance.
The emotions revealed in his eyes were particularly complex, carrying both nostalgia and affection, along with a poignant sorrow that made Li Tingyan extremely uncomfortable!
He curled his fingers and knocked heavily on the table in front of Lu Chi.
Lu Chi snapped back to reality and looked at him. Li Tingyan pulled a cold, sharp smile at his lips, and with a chilling aura, he asked sternly,
"Doctor Lu, what do you think of my wifeâs piano playing?"
Lu Chi revealed a faint smile and said hazily, "Itâs very nice to listen to."
It really is beautiful; at the moment of his death, he thought heâd never hear it again!
Li Tingyan wore a display of smugness and deliberately provoked him by saying,
"You seem to really enjoy listening to my wife play the piano. If you like it, I can arrange for her to play for you again sometime."
Of course, Li Tingyan was just saying this casually; he didnât want another man with ulterior motives to hear his wifeâs elegance. He said that mainly to warn Lu Chi.
Since Lu Chiâs intentions towards Nianyang were too obvious, Li Tingyan had to make Lu Chi understand that one must have self-awareness and not covet what shouldnât be coveted!
Gu Nianyang is his, Li Tingyanâs wife, so keep away all inappropriate thoughts!
Lu Chi naturally understood the unspoken warning in Li Tingyanâs words and just felt increasingly suffocated and unwilling!
Why!
Clearly, he and Nianyang belonged to the same world, and Li Tingyan was just an outsider.
He had known Nianyang for so many years and never had a chance to confess. When they both were reborn after dying, he thought it was fate giving him a chance!
Who wouldâve thought that just because he came late, another man would snatch her away!
Now Lu Chi wanted to say, Li Tingyan, donât be so smug; do you think youâre the only one whoâs heard Nianyang play the piano?
In the previous life, heâd heard it more than once and understood his wife better than Li Tingyan did!
However, as Lu Chi, fueled by alcohol, was about to retort, Nianyangâs performance ended, and the deafening applause that followed silenced him.
Just as Nianyang finished her farewell speech, Liang Baoguo happily walked onto the stage and handed her the flag in front of everyoneâs eyes.
Nianyang took the flag and went backstage to change out of her clothes, her mind filled with the birthday surprise Li Tingyan mentioned, wanting to rush to the small grove immediately.
But she was blocked at the door by Ning Xia, whose face was twisted with hatred,
"Gu Nianyang, did you deliberately scheme against me?"
Nianyang raised her eyes, "Isnât that what I should be asking you, Ning Xia?
I was clearly performing a song, yet it was changed to a piano performance. Wasnât that your doing?"
Ning Xiaâs face turned green and white, "So what if it was me? But how dare you really play the piano and slap me in the face, you country bumpkin from the countryside, how do you even know how to play the piano!"
She had just overheard someone under the stage saying that her playing was not as good as Gu Nianyangâs!
Ning Xia was really furious; sheâd even been abroad, how could she be worse than Gu Nianyang!
"So what if Iâm from the countryside, why canât I play the piano?"
Nianyang glanced at her disdainfully, "Ning Xia, youâre a lady at least, stop looking at people with a frog-in-the-well perspective.
So what if you look down on me? I, this person from the countryside, just happened to beat you, the so-called cityâs lady.
You havenât forgotten our previous bet, have you? Iâve already gotten the flag, so please keep your promise and leave immediately!"
