The music began to play, and Lin Jiayao’s tender, water-like eyes, filled with emotion, gazed toward Xiao Yufan, who had just returned to the VIP seats. A sudden mist filled the air, making everyone’s hearts ache with emotion…
Her melodious voice was like celestial music, brimming with endless love, narrating a story shared between two souls. Her charming smile captivated the entire city, her peerless beauty meant for just one person. At this moment, everyone silently prayed for Lin Jiayao.
At the other end of the VIP section, a pair of eyes filled with hatred stared intently at Xiao Yufan. The man was none other than Zhou Lin, the pretty boy who had had a minor conflict with Xiao Yufan in Pingwu over a year ago.
“Master Guo, this is the guy I told you about before—the insignificant pest who has some connection with Miss Lin. She’s been rejecting you for nearly a year, probably because of him!”
Zhou Lin’s eyes flickered with icy coldness. What he couldn’t have, he wouldn’t let others possess either. The young man before him was none other than Guo Chenyang, the second young master of the Guo family—an affluent and powerful playboy who had slept with countless women. Zhou Lin intended to use this man to exact revenge on both of them and repay the humiliation he had suffered back then.
“Some nobody who managed to sneak into the VIP section—does he really think he’s some big shot? Daring to touch my woman? He’s asking for death…”
Guo Chenyang was the same man who had publicly confessed his feelings for Lin Jiayao at the VIP section earlier. The intimate gestures between Xiao Yufan and Lin Jiayao had enraged him. In his eyes, any woman he desired was destined to be his.
Of course, Lin Jiayao was no exception. This notorious young aristocrat from Beijing had fallen in love at first sight when he first saw her, but unfortunately, Lin Jiayao hadn’t even deigned to spare him a glance.
“Exactly! Miss Lin and Young Master Guo are a match made in heaven. That trash doesn’t even deserve to clean Young Master Guo’s shoes. I wonder when Young Master Guo will finally win Miss Lin’s heart—I’m already looking forward to celebrating with you!”
Nodding repeatedly, Zhou Lin wore a sycophantic expression. People around him cast disdainful glances, but he remained completely unfazed.
Helping the Guo family’s second young master win Lin Jiayao would not only allow him to take revenge on Xiao Yufan but also curry favor with Guo Chenyang—what’s not to like? Besides, once the young master of the Guo family grew bored, wouldn’t Lin Jiayao be his to do with as he pleased?
A sinister smile twisted Zhou Lin’s face into a grotesque expression. However, Xiao Yufan, completely focused on Lin Jiayao, remained completely unaware of the venomous gaze directed at him. Immersed in the music, he could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
Just as all the fans were lost in the enchanting melody, the song abruptly ended, leaving behind a lingering sadness. Some even had tears glistening in their eyes…
“Thank you everyone, thank you for coming. And also, thank him. I’ve truly been very happy today…” Lin Jiayao said to the fans, her eyes never leaving Xiao Yufan for a moment.
“Lin Jiayao! Don’t go! We love you!” The fans cried out passionately, tears streaming down their faces. Some even covered their faces, sobbing uncontrollably. A woman truly standing on the pinnacle of stardom indeed possessed such immense influence.
Wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, Lin Jiayao shouted loudly, “I love you all too! Friends, goodbye! I hope you all can find your own happiness!”
Suddenly, the lights on the stage dimmed, and the fans shouted and wept wildly. When the lights failed to come back on, they reluctantly departed. For everyone present, today would probably be the most unforgettable day of their lives.
“We… should probably go now too…”
Looking sideways at the tear-streaked face of Qin Menglu, Xiao Yufan gently spoke. Yet even this simple sentence carried an unusual sense of weariness, causing even Yu Yihan beside him to shudder involuntarily.
Wrapping an arm around Qin Menglu and heading toward the backstage corridor, Yu Yihan followed closely behind. Although she wasn’t a sentimental woman, she couldn’t help but be affected by the atmosphere. At this moment, her gaze toward Xiao Yufan carried a hint of tenderness.
“Didn’t expect your voice to be so pleasant. Come on, sing another one for this young master…”
Just as they reached the corridor entrance, a mocking voice came from behind. Xiao Yufan frowned. From the voice alone, he knew it was the same man from the VIP section who had confessed to Lin Jiayao.
“With all my money and bodyguards, you still aren’t convinced, huh?” Guo Chenyang waved a hand behind him, and several bodyguards quickly approached. Their speed indicated they were well-trained, though to Xiao Yufan, they were no different from ordinary men.
“There are so many people here. If possible, can we talk somewhere else?”
A playful smile curled Xiao Yufan’s lips. When he saw Zhou Lin standing behind the young aristocrat, he immediately understood part of the situation. His eyes suddenly turned colder, causing Zhou Lin to involuntarily shiver.
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to start a fight here—it would only negatively affect Lin Jiayao. However, this reaction emboldened Guo Chenyang, who mistook Xiao Yufan’s restraint for fear.
“This is exactly where this young master wants you to sing! You love showing off, so why not keep showing off here? Why go somewhere else?”
With an air of arrogance, Guo Chenyang exuded an aura of entitlement. Passersby felt nothing but disgust toward him, yet many still lingered, curious to see what kind of magic this man favored by Lin Jiayao possessed.
“You all staring at me like this really makes me feel shy. I wonder what I did to offend this young master. Aren’t you just trying to embarrass me?”
Putting on a fawning expression, Xiao Yufan’s sudden change left everyone stunned, disappointment evident on their faces. However, Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu exchanged knowing glances, their faces blushing slightly. They knew Xiao Yufan far too well.
“You dared to touch my woman. I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
Laughing maniacally, the Guo family’s second young master felt an immense sense of satisfaction. He could almost see Lin Jiayao submitting to him, her seductive expressions only adding to his vulgar pleasure.
“So, you’re coveting my woman and daring to act so arrogantly in front of me? You… simply don’t have the qualifications!”
A bone-chilling coldness abruptly spread through the air. Xiao Yufan’s gaze turned sharply menacing. Looking at this young aristocrat and Zhou Lin behind him, the curve of his lips widened further. He had originally planned to toy with this conceited fellow a bit, but now, it seemed unnecessary…
