Gu Momo walked to the piano and sat down. Her slender fingers touched the black and white keys, and a clear piano sound rang out.

Warm lights fell on the piano keys, transforming into a kaleidoscope of colors as they were projected. Her fingers danced, and a distinctly French romantic piece, "French Movie Waltz," gradually flowed into the listener's heart.

It's as if I can see myself dancing gracefully with my beloved on the banks of the Seine at dusk, or walking hand in hand on a quiet rainy night in Paris—beautiful and touching.

At this moment, the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone closed their eyes and quietly enjoyed this feast that combined hearing and perception.

When the piece ended, many guests seemed to still be immersed in the beautiful music, their faces filled with a sense of lingering enjoyment.

"It's so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. This piece of music contains images of the sea, a damp cobblestone path, lovers holding hands, and the most romantic kiss on the streets of Paris, France."

"I felt as if I were both there and detached, but without exception, I felt everything the performer wanted to express."

"This is the most successful performance ever! This is truly Annabelle's divine touch!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. Some denied it, saying, "That's unlikely, isn't it? Annabelle did create countless masterpieces back then, and with her impeccable playing technique, she became a legend in the piano world. But she disappeared five years ago."

"Yes, and Annabelle liked to wear a mask when she performed back then, so no one has ever seen her real face. You can't be sure it's her just because of one song, can you?"

"I was just saying, but this young lady's performance was so amazing that it reminded me of Annabelle without me even realizing it."

While the guests were still discussing heatedly, Liu Xuer's face had turned a deep, purplish-red.

She was clearly the center of attention, but now that Gu Momo has appeared, her spotlight has been completely stolen!

Gu Momo stood on the stage, picked up the microphone, looked at Li Zhanting in the audience, and said with a hint of complaint, "Mr. Ting, wouldn't you like to give your feedback on my performance?"

Li Zhanting ignored his complaints. After sensing the jealousy in Gu Momo's tone, his eyes were only on the shining person on the stage. He replied to her word by word, "No one can compare to you."

Gu Momo was fairly satisfied with Li Zhanting's answer, and her anger subsided considerably.

"Then, would I have the honor of inviting Mr. Ting to dance?"

Everyone at the scene held their breath; they could smell the gunpowder from a great distance!

Are these two about to have a fight?

As everyone was feeling uneasy, Li Zhanting fastened his suit jacket buttons with his long, slender fingers and stood up.

Under the watchful eyes of the guests, he walked onto the stage and gentlemanly extended his hand to Gu Momo, "Miss, would you like to dance with me?"

Mr. Ting actually invited her personally with such gentlemanly manners!!!

This is just too adorable!!!

It's like candy being forced into my mouth!

Gu Momo placed her palm in his palm, and the familiar symphony began to play. Li Zhanting lifted her hand, their fingers intertwined, and his other hand naturally wrapped around her slender waist.

Although it was their first time dancing together, their chemistry was like that of dance partners who had known each other for a long time, and every step they took was perfectly timed.

Gu Momo leaned on the man's shoulder and said in a voice that was almost only the two of them, "If you ever dare to smile at another woman again, I'll gouge out your eyes so you can never smile again."

Li Zhanting unconsciously tightened his grip on her waist, so that her body could press completely against him:

"Yes, I was originally furious and wanted to teach her a lesson, but you just happened to come."

Gu Momo was slightly taken aback, only then remembering that Li Zhanting had once been hailed by many as the King of Hell.

The gentler the smile, the more ruthless the attack—that's the kind of tactic a leader should employ!

Gu Momo couldn't help but smile: "So, in that case, it was me who delayed your plans?"

"What do you think?" Li Zhanting raised his dark eyebrows slightly, his black eyes filled with soft light and brilliance.

At this moment, all the surrounding environment and people seemed to cease to exist, turning into wisps of pink smoke that floated all around.

Looking at the handsome man before her, she wished time could stand still forever.

At the banquet, the guests had already become fans of the two as a couple, with Ling Tian leading the way as the head of the fans.

"I've known Li Zhanting for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen him go crazy for love. This couple must be locked up together. If anyone dares to complain again, I, Ling Tian, ​​will be the first to deal with them!"

"Ahhh, these two are such a perfect match! Their height and physiques are just amazing!"

"Waaah, Miss Momo and Mr. Ting are a match made in heaven! They're so beautiful!"

Seeing the two people on stage being so intimate, Liu Xuer was furious.

She originally wanted Li Zhanting to notice her, but Gu Momo stole the spotlight from her.

Her piano skills, which she was so proud of, were completely belittled and made to look insignificant by Gu Momo's playing!

She was just moments ago confidently mocking Gu Momo, but little did she know, she was the one who was most humiliated!

When the dance ended, the crowd cheered wildly, drowning out all of Liu Xuer's jealousy in the uproar.

Li Zhanting gentlemanly took Gu Momo's hand and led her off the stage. The stage lights shone on the two of them, making them the focus of everyone's attention. They were radiant and so happy that no one could look away.

“Master Ting…” Liu Xuer lifted her skirt, her chest seemingly unwilling to admit defeat to Gu Momo, and couldn’t help but take two steps forward.

Li Zhanting paused slightly, a smile hidden on his handsome, cold face, but the smile in his eyes concealed a warning and danger.

His thin lips parted slightly, his voice, though warm and captivating, carried an invisible pressure:

"Miss Liu, Momo is my fiancée. You've repeatedly caused trouble in public like this. Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the media? Or... have you become so shameless that you're willing to do anything? Hmm?"

The slightly raised tone at the end of the note was low, cold, and arrogant, so dangerous that it took your breath away!

Liu Xuer felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. Countless eyes swept over her, and at this moment she was like a clown, being watched and ridiculed by everyone. No one looked worse than her.

Even though Li Zhanting and Gu Momo aren't married yet, she's being made to look like a mistress.

Ahhh... Liu Xuer broke down, she finally couldn't take it anymore!

She ran out screaming, giving no one a chance to react.

The manor quickly returned to its former liveliness, and everyone sang and danced together again.

Li Zhanting, not wanting to be disturbed too much, pulled Gu Momo to the backstage dressing room.

The moment the door closed, he put his arm around the woman's waist.

He pressed her down in front of the dressing table, greedily sucking the sweetness from between the woman's lips...
