Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 651 - 650: Protection (1)

"Do you have any thoughts on getting married?" Luo Tianjie asked again.

"Getting married?" Situ Nan was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No!"

"No?" Luo Tianjie widened his eyes and said angrily, "Why are you meddling then?"

"Meddling with whom?" Situ Nan frowned, "Are you talking about Miss Luo?"

He looked at Luo Lingshu for a moment, hesitated and said, "Miss Luo, I have no intention of getting married in the near future."

Luo Lingshu’s smile faded, and she pursed her lips, "It doesn’t matter, then wait until you’re ready to marry me."

"But I..."

Situ Nan wanted to say more, but on the other side, the sound of a zither began to play.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the music.

He exchanged glances with Luo Lingshu for a moment, but in the end remained silent.

"A laugh across the sea, tides roar from both shores, floating and sinking with the waves, only remembering the present..."

Shen Qinglan looked in surprise at Lian’er dancing on stage to the song, and then glanced at Qian Liuyun who was playing the zither and singing.

She had thought they would sing together, but didn’t expect one to play and sing, and the other to dance alone.

"What song is this?" Situ Nan’s eyes lit up, "It’s quite captivating."

Duan Yunfei listened and drew close to Shen Qinglan, whispering, "What’s the name of this song?"

Shen Qinglan whispered, "A Laugh across the Sea."

"A Laugh across the Sea?" Duan Yunfei smiled slightly, "I like it."

Upon hearing the song, he was reminded of when Shen Qinglan sang "Free and Easy" to him at Yongning Manor years ago, both filled with Jianghu spirit.

Situ Nan squinted and said, "Is this Qian Liuyun from the Cloud Pavilion in the Capital?"

"It’s him," Luo Zilin said, "brought here by sister-in-law."

"Miss Shen brought him?" Situ Nan looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise, "Miss Shen really has a keen eye for talent. I heard the City Lord made considerable effort to invite the two."

Shen Qinglan smiled lightly without responding.

Duan Yunfei suddenly laughed, "My wife’s vision is naturally excellent."

Situ Nan smirked, "Brother Duan is right. If Miss Shen didn’t have a good eye, how could she have taken a liking to you?"

Duan Yunfei gave a cold humph, showing a look of self-awareness.

"Didn’t they practice ’Painting Emotions’ two days ago? Did they perform it?" Luo Lingshu asked.

"’Painting Emotions’?" Luo Tianhao shook his head, "They performed several songs earlier and mentioned their names, but none were ’Painting Emotions’."

"That’s true," Luo Lingshu said, "That somber piece indeed isn’t suitable for singing at the Lantern Festival."

As the zither music stopped, thunderous applause erupted around.

Whether noble guests on the pleasure boat or passersby watching by the lakeside, all began to clap.

The two went on stage and bowed to thank the audience.

Qian Liuyun’s gaze paused slightly as it fell on Shen Qinglan, but quickly shifted.

Shen Qinglan smiled gently at Lian’er, who playfully winked back at her.

Qian Liuyun said calmly, "Next will be more wonderful songs and dances for everyone to appreciate, we hope you enjoy!"

Perhaps from singing, his voice carried a slight rasp, sounding like zither strings gently plucking the ears.

On the second floor, a woman suddenly stood up, hastily carrying a lantern down the stairs.

Everyone suspiciously followed her back until she disappeared at the staircase entrance; when they saw her again, she had appeared on the stage below.

This woman was broad and plump, with small eyes that almost disappeared when she smiled.
