Ye Qian walked over to the piano and took a seat, he patted the microphone and then said movingly, “Everybody, please settle down. The song I am about to play is for my beloved la.s.s, I wish her to be forever beautiful. Three lives and seven generations, our love will last forever.” He didn't say who the girl was, only swept his gaze slowly over Qin Yue's body, then Zhao Ya, then Hu Ke.

The three girls didn't notice anything peculiar in Ye Qian's expression, they only felt his meaningful look graze over them, their hearts became restless, thumping in their chests. Qin Yue felt a little slightly pleased over this, but with her natural disposition, add to that, knowing how smooth-talking Ye Qian was, she couldn't figure out if he was saying the truth or not. Zhao Ya was the precious daughter of the Tian Ya Conglomerate's chairman of the board, Zhao Tian Hao. Not only was she beautiful and rich, she was not lacking in rich and powerful suitors; she was also not lacking in talent and youth, so she had heard of these kind of words before, but this experience of hearing Ye Qian confess his feeling publicly was different. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved, but when she thought of her first meeting with this rogue and thought of how he had made fun of her, Zhao Ya's good feelings vanished. Now Hu Ke was even more at a loss. A warm and gentle person like her was also not lacking in suitors, but she had never had one who was brazen as Ye Qian. However, she couldn't understand why Ye Qian would call her beloved since this was just the first time they ever met, if Ye Qian was not lovestruck with her, then he could just be using her to get at Zhao Ya.

Ye Qian didn't know what the three girls were thinking, he only said those words earlier for fun. Those dramas on TV usually had these melodramatic scenes, so Ye Qian, without thinking too much about it, blurted out those words. He didn't expect those women to suddenly have feelings rise up within them like the surging Yellow River.

After clearing his throat, Ye Qian's fingers moved across the piano. After a while, the whole place was bathed in tranquility, only the sound of Ye Qian's elegant singing voice and piano music could be heard. The song Ye Qian was singing was Jacky Chueng's “Li Xianglan”, the notes he held in his mouth were heavenly. Ye Qian played with pa.s.sion and melancholy. The songs he knew how to sing were few, and this was the only piano piece he knew how to play. This was because there was a time he had to attend a wealthy man's banquet and had to pretend to be a pianist, and he had hastily had Jack teach him.

Qin Yue and Zhao Ya were dumbfounded, they never expected Ye Qian to know how to play the piano and even play it so well. Perhaps it was only their hearts playing tricks on them and Ye Qian's piano skills weren't that good. It was only that he had some of the singer Jacky Cheung's transformative and husky quality of voice, so that it masked his piano playing. All of a sudden, Qin Yue and Zhao Ya looked at Ye Qian as if he were a different person. They could feel his grief and desolation and felt that he had a very uncommon past. Hu Ke didn't know much about Ye Qian, so she wasn't that shocked, but she also couldn't help admiring Ye Qian's voice, she inwardly thought that this man truly had the charms to make Qin Yue fall in love with him.

Wei Cheng Long was feeling slightly defeated, there wasn't much difference between his piano skills and Ye Qian's, but Ye Qian's performance was making him feel pressure. He was holding the banquet today, not only did he have to keep face in front of Qin Yue, if other people found out he couldn't beat a mere bodyguard, then he would never be able to live it down.

After finis.h.i.+ng his piece, Ye Qian made an gentlemanly bow towards the audience, and the slowly returned to the three girls. But before Ye Qian left, he had given the body of the piano a few pats, his movements were slow, but the power was not weak. Even though Ye Qian was not some exceptional martial artist from a Wuxia novel, he still had some unique secret strength. His harmless looking pats had actually caused all the piano strings inside the piano to break.

Positive energy, everybody possessed it. For example, all kinds of fighting was for training people in the use of their “light energy” so they could use it skillfully. Negative energy was different, it needed more than just common training, what it required was a very particular method. Just like Wing Chun, the reason it was able to release strong energy in short distances was because of negative energy.

“You sang very well!” Qin Yue said gently once Ye Qian reached them.

Ye Qian chuckled and put his face close to Qin Yue's ear to whisper, “Were you very moved? In love now?”

Qin Yue gave Ye Qian an annoyed looks, this fellow was really unromantic, to say such a thing that would ruin the mood at this time. Qin Yue wanted to have a chat with him and have him unload his feelings, but with his one word... it made her not know what to reply, so she could only close her mouth and not continue the conversation.

Ye Qian shrugged and turned his attention to Zhao Ya, chuckling mischievously, “Are you regretting now? Don't forget your promise, even though I don't care much about your kiss, but to legitimize my victory I am forced to accept it.”

Zhao Ya snorted angrily and said, “The contest isn't over yet, how do you know you're the winner. You also have no shame, when you were singing earlier you sounded like a ghost howling like a wolf, if it were late at night you might have given everybody a heart attack.”

Ye Qian became speechless, this girl had such a foul mouth, but Ye Qianwas a very confident person, he was sure he had victory in his grasp, he said, “You can talk like that now, just don't be shameless when you lose then we're good.”

“I'll be shameless? Very funny, what Zhao Ya says she will do, whoever is shameless is a dog.” Zhao Ya said, raising her head stubbornly.

Ye Qian didn't feel like arguing with her anymore, after all the result was coming very soon. When he thought about Zhao Ya's face full of regret, Ye Qian was so happy it almost hurt. Let's see if this girl would still be so aggressive in the future.

Wei Cheng Long took a deep breath and slowly walked over to the piano. “Relax, relax, there's no way you'll lose.” Wei Cheng Long inwardly told himself. Wei Cheng Long bowed respectfully to the audience, and then slowly sat down. After arranging the music sheets, Wei Cheng Long's fingers slowly pressed down.
