Chapter 30: This Man, I’ve Got Him Under My Thumb!

At first listen, the melody wasn’t much different from what Xiao Qianqian had played before.

The rhythm was gentle, following a tranquil and soft path.

Like the murmuring flow of a stream, it calmed the mind. However, Ye Ning’s playing was average, lacking a strong visual impact.

This was something Xiao Qianqian couldn’t help but sneer at.

But as he continued to play, the melody changed. The murmuring stream no longer flowed steadily. It encountered obstacles like rocks, dividing into several streams flowing forward. At this point, the melody became lively yet fragmented. Then, as the streams continued forward, passing through a long waterway resembling a forest, the tune transformed into a beautiful and lively melody.

The murmuring water was no longer alone, accompanied by the joyous chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects, enchanting the listener. This was the breath of life.

Xiao Qianqian was mesmerized, unknowingly drawn in. This was the impact that classic pieces could have, even when played by someone of average skill.

“What piece is this?” Xiao Qianqian discerned the difference.

Despite her reluctance to admit it, she had to give an honest appraisal. This piece was indeed superior to what her teacher had composed.

At this moment, Xiao Qianqian still felt a bit unwilling to admit defeat. But Ye Ning’s performance continued.

The music filled the air, and suddenly, there was another change. It was as if a creek merged into a river, and the melody suddenly widened and deepened.

In Xiao Qianqian’s mind, she saw a river flowing endlessly ahead. But now, there was no sound of flowing water. The feeling the river conveyed was one of silence.

A third change!

Xiao Qianqian, overwhelmed by the experience, continued to listen.

Then came the fourth change.

The majestic river surged forward, conveying a sense of eternal loneliness.

At this moment, the melody suddenly changed, evoking a sense of vastness and grandeur. “This is!” Xiao Qianqian’s mouth opened wide, her eyes filled with fascination.

She seemed to see towering green mountains, stretching endlessly, timeless and enduring, accompanied only by the flow of past waters.

This was the feeling that this piece, “High Mountains and Flowing Water,” gave her. Mountains and rivers intertwined, seeming eternal.

“Such a wonderful piece in the world!” Xiao Qianqian was intoxicated.

But just then, the music abruptly stopped. Ye Ning had ceased playing.

“Why stop?” Xiao Qianqian, who was enjoying the music, suddenly returned to reality, instinctively questioning.

But as soon as she spoke, she realized her words were inappropriate. Raising her head, she saw the surprised expression on Lu Zhu’s face.

“Miss…” Lu Zhu didn’t understand much about music, but as an audience member, she didn’t need to. As long as it sounded good, it was enough.

She used to think that every piece Xiao Qianqian played was excellent, but now… Her expression was complicated, torn inside.

Where did this bad guy come from? How could he be so extraordinary? Playing the piano and composing poems…

“I lost,” Xiao Qianqian took a deep breath.

This was a masterpiece that would be passed down through the ages. Faced with such a piece, she couldn’t speak any falsehoods.

“Are you willing to admit defeat?” Ye Ning wasn’t surprised. Because the piece he played wasn’t any other, it was “High Mountains and Flowing Water.” A timeless masterpiece deeply engraved in the minds of every Chinese person.

Even though his skill was average, as long as he played this piece, how could he lose? That was obviously impossible.

“Let’s lift the curtain,” Xiao Qianqian lowered her eyelids and waved her hand.

Lu Zhu hummed a couple of times, then went forward and removed the curtain.

With the curtain lifted, Ye Ning immediately saw Xiao Qianqian’s true face. Although he was prepared, he still instinctively froze upon seeing her.

Could there be any woman this beautiful?

He didn’t know how to describe it. He felt like all the brilliance in the room converged on Xiao Qianqian alone.

Every part of her body, from top to bottom, was flawless, as if each part was the most perfect creation of the heavens. Especially the faint charm between her gestures, it was a fatal poison for men.

No wonder so many people, knowing that Xiao Qianqian’s identity was extraordinary, still rushed forward one after another. Who could forget such a woman after just one glance?

“The more beautiful a woman is, the more it shows that the man behind her is extraordinary!” Ye Ning came back to his senses, feeling delighted.

Since ancient times, the more beautiful a woman, the more likely she would be possessed by a powerful man. And the more powerful the man, the less he could tolerate cuckoldry.

Putting oneself in that position, if his woman were Xiao Qianqian and she flirted with other men, could he tolerate it?

Could I tolerate it? Hell no!

Wouldn’t I just go and chop off the ancestors of that man?

Absolutely.

This woman… I’ve got her hooked!

Meanwhile, Xiao Qianqian was also going through some mental gymnastics.  “This person’s appearance is quite good.”

In fact, where was “quite good”?

Ye Ning was definitely a handsome man. Especially after he just played such an astonishing piece, he gained even more points.

This made Xiao Qianqian, who was tasked with seducing Ye Ning, feel a lot less resistant.

Despite presiding over the brothel, this was the first time in her life she had done something like this.

Originally, she was extremely unwilling, even having rebellious thoughts for the first time. But now, she felt she could give it a try.

This man… I’ve got him under my thumb!

Xiao Qianqian and Ye Ning exchanged a glance, then both smiled. Their smiles were so amiable.
