“By the way, I heard you would play ‘The Wedding of the Dream’ tonight, right?” He Wanyi looked at the people coming in one after another, and whispered, “I’ve once challenged myself by playing ‘The Wedding of the Dream’. It’s really difficult. Are you sure you can manage it?” She looked at Tang Xi in worry and Tang Xi could tell she was genuinely really worried about her.

Tang Xi shrugged. “You can help me right?”

He Wanyi laughed. “You just want to see me make a spectacle of myself, right?” She patted Tang Xi. “Tell me, have you played the tune before? But I don’t remember you saying that you could play the piano.”

“Rourou can play the piano. She was trained by a piano prince who is me, and she has surpassed me in piano.” Xiao Sa walked over, blinked at Tang Xi, and sat down at the judging table. He then looked back at He Wanyi, “She is even more talented on the piano than I am. You’ll find out how wrong you are.”

He Wanyi glared at Xiao Sa who shrugged and didn’t seem to care. “We’ll see.”

He Wanyi smiled. “You’re being childish. Sit down. Behave like a real judge.”

Xiao Sa raised his eyebrows. “Whatever.”

He Wanyi glared at Xiao Sa and took Tang Xi’s hand. “I’ve decided to serve as your brand’s endorser. Your dress is perfect.”

Tang Xi turned to He Wanyi and covered her mouth with her hands as her eyes sparkled with surprise. “Really? Sister Wanyi, you have made your decision?”

He Wanyi nodded. “Although your brand is still obscure, the dress you are wearing tonight really matches the name of your company, The Queen. In this dress, you look like a real queen. No luxury brand has given me this feeling. I have a feeling that it will be my honor to endorse your brand.”

Tang Xi almost jumped up from her seat because she was so happy. She grabbed He Wanyi’s hands as she said, “Sister Wanyi, thank you. Thanks for your trust. I won’t let you down.”

Chen Ziyan sitting beside her, blinked, looked at Tang Xi with surprise and asked, “So you were drawing designs that time you painted in class?”

Tang Xi nodded, and Chen Ziyan looked at Tang Xi and exclaimed in admiration, “Wow, is there any skills that you haven’t mastered?!”

Tang Xi frowned. “Well, I don’t know how to cook...”

“You can leave this job to the servants!” Chen Ziyan said without hesitation. “I never cook, neither does my mom. If my dad doesn’t cook, then the maid will cook. My mom and I never cook.”

Just then, a voice with delight and surprise rang out over Tang Xi’s head. “Rourou!”

Tang Xi looked up only to see Liu Chengyu standing in front of her and looking at her in surprise. He said with sparkling eyes, “I’ve been looking for you. I didn’t expect you had already come in...” Then he noticed the dress that Tang Xi wore. Almost dazzled by her beauty, he exclaimed, “You... you are so beautiful today.”

Upon hearing his words, Qiao Liang who was sitting in front of them turned back and greeted him coldly, “President Liu, what a coincidence.”

It sounded like he was greeting Liu Chengyu, but He Wanyi and Chen Ziyan knew he was guarding Tang Xi from being stolen by his rival in love.

Tang Xi had a feeling that Qiao Liang was hiding something in his greeting but she couldn’t tell what it was. Qiao Liang never acted with such jealousy before. He would only refuse to talk to her for no reason. When she asked him the reason, he would never tell her, and then they would start a cold war. But now, instead of fighting with her, he would vent his feelings at his rivals in love, to let her know he was jealous and he really cared about her. She actually liked the way he reacted now.

Liu Chengyu really wanted to spend more time with Xiao Rou. He had planned to contact Xiao Rou long ago, but Aunt Lin was paralyzed. It was improper for him to chase her at such a time. Besides, Rourou usually stayed in school. He hadn’t attended the school’s art performance for many years, and he chose to attend it this year because he knew Rourou would show up in the art performance. He knew he would see her here. To his surprise, however, he met Qiao Liang as well...

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still put on an amicable face and greeted Qiao Liang, “President Qiao, glad to meet you here.”

Qiao Liang hummed and pointed at the seat next to his and said, “Please sit here. Are you attending the art performance for the first time like me?”

Liu Chengyu looked at Tang Xi in embarrassment. He really wanted to spend more time with Xiao Rou, so he couldn’t let go of this chance. He stood there and nodded. “Yes, it’s my first time. It’s also the first time for Rourou to attend this, I want to enjoy the show with her together...”

The air around Qiao Liang turned even colder. Just when Qiao Liang was about to stand up, Xiao Sa suddenly said, “Hey, President Liu, don’t say things like this. I still remember how you tried so hard to shield Xiao Jinning a month ago, and Xiao Jinning was almost so moved by you she almost burst into tears. You will have nothing to do with our sister. Don’t try to ruin my sister’s reputation. Otherwise she will be scolded by her teacher!”

Liu Chengyu froze. He suddenly felt his former relationship with Xiao Jinning would now be the greatest obstacle in the way of him getting to Xiao Rou, but god knew he was not to blame for that!

Seeing him being embarrassed, Tang Xi pursed her lips. “It was just a mistake. It’s been proven that Mr. Liu is a good person. Don’t be so rude to him, Sa. Besides, it was in the past, and I’ve forgotten it. But Mr. Liu, I’m not in the mood to start a new relationship now. Please don’t bother me, okay?”

“Then how long will it take?” Liu Chengyu asked, and then continued, “I can wait for you. You know we’ve been eng...”

“Wait a minute!” Xiao Sa stood up and said with a frown, “Rourou is my mom and dad’s kid, which has been legally registered. So you two have never been engaged. I hope President Liu will not mention that again!”

Liu Chengyu looked at Xiao Sa angrily, and the latter raised his eyebrows. “What? You don’t believe what I said? You can go ask my uncle. Let me tell you, even my grandpa can’t decide Rourou’s marriage in her place. As long as she is still registered as my sister, no one can force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do, understand?”
