A pale and slender finger gently touched her lips, then slowly rubbed against them.
Gu Nancheng held onto her tightly with his arms. [Nobody can take you away from me.]
The lights were dimly lit in the Qiansheng tavern.
A girl sat in front of a black grand piano…
Behind her, there was a window with huge double curtains, and the tranquil starry night sky served as a backdrop.
The fragrance of blooming flowers spread throughout the night.
By the window, a banner decorated with roses and swords swayed back and forth due to the night breeze.
The moonlight helped cloak Ji Anan in an ambience of mysterious darkness, and her petite body made small movements in harmony with the serene and picturesque scene.
The high-class men in the room started to chatter.
"Why so mysterious? I hear that they found a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Have you seen her before?"
"No matter how gorgeous she is, aren't all women the same in bed once the lights are off?" said one man in a flippant tone as he smirked. "Of course, if she isn't beautiful enough, I'll be the first one to say so."
Who would dare to cross his woman and label herself the number one beauty in S City? This was blatant insolence towards him.
…
After the song ended, the lights were suddenly turned back on.
Ji Anan narrowed her long-lashed eyes to see more clearly, while her slender porcelain fingers were still propped on the black and white piano keys as she stared down the stage at the audience.
Under the glistening crystal lights, Ji Anan's long hair was styled into a bun, and she wore a long white feathered dress with a rounded trail that followed behind her.
Her ivory-skinned, exquisite face was like the purest flower petal, and her black pupils were like the most dazzling stars in the entire galaxy…
With her plump pink lips slightly pursed, she looked as if she had royal blood running through her veins.
Her entire being gave off an air of lofty gracefulness.
When the spotlight shone upon her, the entire tavern fell into a dead silence.
Young Master Mu felt like his heart had been jolted by a spark of electricity, and he exclaimed with astonishment, "Gorgeous... Absolutely gorgeous... Drop-dead gorgeous…"
She was stunned into silence.
He turned around and yelled to the people in the back, "I, the young master, am in an exceptionally good mood today, so all the wine is on me!"
Everyone in the room was noble from a filthy rich family, so who cared about the cost of a little wine? Seeing him trying to get ahead so desperately displeased the others in the room.
…
Through the window in his compartment, a man coldly watched the farce play out, and his fingers gently made circles on his glass cup.
His features were so well-defined that they could have been cut from steel. With his thin lips slightly puckered, his overbearing aura was formidable.
He wore a navy-blue double-breasted cavalry uniform decorated with a golden eagle, and his crossed feet wore horse-riding boots.
As he twisted his ring with his index finger, he stared fixedly at the woman sitting in front of the piano. She had snow-white skin as smooth as that of a newborn baby, and her dark lashes were long and curled…
Her feathered dress swept the floor, and from the crane of her neck to the tip of her finger, the perfect contours of her body carried an air of elegance.
Her beauty was like a bubble that could be popped easily, effortless and carefree.
Yet at the same time, she was also like a petal in the night, her snow-white color contrasting with the darkness of the night.
Ji Anan's face overlapped with the one in his memory.
…
Ji Anan stood up from the piano, bowed politely to the audience, and picked up the hem of her dress. She was about to leave when Mu Shao held out his hand to block her exit.
"Get lost."
"Hahaha... You're telling me to get lost? You dare to tell me to get lost? There's this sort of system in which the more you ignore me, the more I bully and harass you!" Mu Shao snickered dirtily and started making boxing gestures as he jumped around in front of her in an attempt to show how high and mighty he was.
In Ji Anan's eyes, he seemed like a monkey jumping back and forth.
A couple of his fellow good-for-nothing buddies came closer. One of them piped in, "Mu Shao, you already have Yao Er."
"What do you guys know about anything? Just like the masters of the past had dozens of concubines, I want all the women as well."
Realizing that she couldn't escape them, Ji Anan took out her phone to make a call. "This is the Qiansheng Tavern. There are a couple of people trying to sell fruits here, and we can't make them leave."

Mu Shao and his buddies were confused. Trying to sell fruits?
"There's a dragon fruit seller…" Ji Anan's eyes swept across Young Master Mu's hairstyle, which resembled a dragon fruit.
"Mu Shao, she's talking about you. Dragon fruit…"
"And a pear seller." She stared at one of them with a pear-like physique.
"What are you laughing about? Your mother really is a pear seller…"
"And there's also two watermelon sellers, along with a sugar cane seller."
"I've already told you two that you guys should lose some of the weight around your bellies. And you... sugar cane seller?"
Ji Anan hung up the phone and started to walk away, but Mu Shao blocked her again. "I like saucy and brazen beauties like you. Since you're so gorgeous, no matter how insolent you are, I won't get mad."
…
Beiming Shaoxi sat in a high-backed cotton accent chair with a cocky smirk at the corners of his lips.
His cerulean eyes gleamed with fascination.
"Mr. Beiming?" A foreign man with a cigarette in his mouth was surprised by the hint of a smile on his lips. "I'm glad we have the chance to work together."
For the entire night, Beiming Shaoxi gave off an air of overpowering dominance.
He provided his curly signature on the contract, handed it over, then stood up and walked out of the compartment.
Will had already pulled up the files on Ji Anan and handed them to him. "Young Master, her name is Su Qianmo…"
…
A gang of slackers blocked Ji Anan's exit, and she cried out to the waiter for help.
She had accepted the gig simply to make some extra money. She hadn't wanted to be caught up in messy drama…
She had been well-protected since she was young and had the sauciness of an heiress with a privileged upbringing. Since this was the first time she had ever worked a job, she wasn't quite aware that the combination of her impertinent mannerisms and her breathtaking looks could potentially bring her unwanted attention.
The supervisor trotted over and tried to dissuade him. "Young Master Mu, this is our newly hired pianist. I hope you—"
"Get lost! How dare you interrupt me when I'm in the middle of a conversation with a woman?" Mu Shao raised his fists.
A hand in a black glove caught him by the wrist, and a sinister aura crept up on him.
Mu Shao turned his head around. "Who are you—"
Ji Anan turned her head, too, and came face to face with an exquisitely handsome face. Her mind instantly went blank. Why was it him?
Dressed in formal attire, he looked as striking as always, the very embodiment of aristocrat sophistication.
After panicking for a few seconds, she gradually calmed herself down.
She was Su Qianmo right then, and there was no way someone as blind as Beiming Shaoxi would recognize her... But hadn't he seen her as Su Qianmo before as well? It had been three years already, so perhaps he had already forgotten!
Since she studied music, she knew how to use her throat, stomach, chest, and other body parts to make a variety of sounds.
She had the ability to make five different vocal styles, similar to how singers knew how to use falsetto.
Whenever she assumed the identity of Ji Anan, she spoke with her chest.
When she presented as her true identity, Su Qianmo, she naturally used her real voice.
…
Beiming Shaoxi exerted a slight pressure on Mu Shao's hand by pulling it back, and Mu Shao instantly fell to the ground in a kneeling position facing Ji Anan.
Young Master Mu was furious at being publicly humiliated in front of a beautiful woman. "Stop him! Beat him up!"
His buddies wrapped up their sleeves in preparation for a brawl.
Beiming Shaoxi's eyes gleamed with danger, and all it took was for him to glance at them with his menacing eyes before they were all instantly intimidated into taking a few steps back.
He took off his black gloves and began cracking his knuckles one by one, the sound of bones popping ringing out.
His overpowering bearings made him look like a dark emperor.
His long legs hadn't even sent a single kick before the pear-shaped man stumbled to the ground and pressed his hand to his chest. "What a forceful kick."
"Sorry, but I can't help you, Mu Shao. I've been beaten as well."
One by one, his useless buddies started collapsing to the ground.
"Damn it, you bunch of disloyal scoundrels!" Young Master Mu was fuming with rage, and he dialed some numbers on his phone. "All of you get in here right this second. I've been threatened!"
