C21 Danger

Looking at the girl in front of him falling into a state of despair, Hee Hanyu's heart suddenly ached. He didn't intend for such an outcome, but the culprit was himself.

Just now when he was sitting below the stage, he saw a scene that made him jealous.

Ling Yun'er was telling Chi Cheng something interesting. Her smile was so bright and relaxed, while Chi Cheng was listening attentively. Occasionally, he would interject a sentence or two with a focused expression.

The atmosphere was really harmonious and cheerful. From afar, they looked like a happy couple.

The warm and sweet scene that fell into his eyes, especially the faint smile on Ling Yun'er's face, the eyes that seemed to be condensed with the spiritual energy of the heaven and the earth, were rippling with color.

Ling Yun'er, who was standing in front of Ye Wu Chen, frowned. Her gaze made contact with the pair of cold eyes that were as deep as a thousand-year-old pond.

"Mr. He, no, Hanyu, I still need to play. You, you, you …" She didn't dare to ask if he was angry, nor did she dare to leave easily. She could only stammer and slow down her speech to test him.

"You were talking and laughing just now. What, are you so scared when you see me?" He turned his body and stared straight at her with eyes as black as the night. A thin layer of ice congealed on his exquisite facial features.

Hee Hanyu really wished that she could face him like how she faced Chi Cheng. That feeling was the love and attachment of a woman to a man, but she always seemed to be full of fear when facing him.

Yes, she was like an employee who was afraid of being fired by her boss at any time. She was full of caution and fear. He didn't want her like this. He wanted her to be attached to him.

She gathered up her courage and pulled Hee Hanyu back, her soft voice urgent. "Hanyu, listen to me..."

Hee Hanyu narrowed his phoenix-like eyes and was filled with hostility. His cold eyes were filled with a cold light as he said, "Come to me after the banquet is over." With that he sauntered off on his long, slender legs.

Ling Yun'er watched the dazzling figure go further and further away, and her heart dropped to the freezing point. She knew she had angered him, but she wasn't sure how angry he was.

The sound of the zither once again filled the banquet hall with a melodious jingle, as clear as a mountain spring, as smooth as the music of heaven. Under the beautiful sound of the zither and the colorful lights, people were dancing, talking, laughing, and all of their faces were filled with a joyous feeling.

The host announced loudly, "Finally, let's raise our glasses and wish Mr. Chi and Miss Lu a happy life, forever in love with the river, and early in life." Ling Yun'er's zither also happily danced the passionate musical notes, announcing the end of the engagement party to the cheers and applause of the guests.

Lili's excellent performance tonight added to the party's splendor. Chi Cheng walked up to Lili and said thoughtfully, "Yun'er, if you have anything to say, just say it to me. Don't take it on yourself, okay?"

Ling Yun'er nodded. Standing at the side was Chi Cheng's mother, Lin Wanqiu. She glared at Ling Yun'er with eyes full of hatred and hostility. She did mind this' obstacle 'to her son's happiness in marriage.

On the other hand, Lu Shuyuan's father, Lu Zhi'ang, couldn't hide the admiration in his heart. He ran towards Ling Yun'er with light footsteps: "Miss, your zither playing is so beautiful. May I ask Miss's name?"

"You are too polite. Thank you for your praise. My name is Ling Yun'er." Ling Yun'er replied to Lu Zhi'ang.

Lu Zhi'ang's expression froze as if he had been hit by a sharp weapon. His mind was in chaos because she was also surnamed Ling.
