Caught off guard, Gong Ning's fingers trembled slightly.
"Gong Ning!" The voice in my ear was mellow and magnetic, pleasant to hear and reassuring.
She forced herself to calm down, her eyebrows arched in a relaxed manner, and her voice was low as she asked, "What's wrong?"
"I want you to do something for me!" The man suddenly pulled her to her feet.
His long arms wrapped around her slender waist, and he turned her around slightly.
Gong Ning exclaimed in surprise, "What?"
"Will you dance the opening dance with me today?"
Gong Ning was slightly taken aback, her eyes trembling imperceptibly. She tilted her head back and said softly, "You know, I'm terrible at dancing!"
I sensed the uncertainty and lack of confidence in her tone, as well as her slight dejection.
Yan Jingzhou patted her head. "Jiaojiao, close your eyes and entrust all your worries and uncertainties to me, okay?"
Gong Ning's heart skipped a beat. She had once told him that her childhood name was Jiao Jiao.
"Okay!" Gong Ning closed her eyes, and although it was still pitch black in front of her, she still handed her hands to him.
Her trust in him was already deeply ingrained.
Yan Jingzhou embraced Gong Ning, and the two gracefully glided onto the dance floor. The man was handsome and dashing, while the girl was charming and lovely.
His appearance and demeanor are both excellent.
The deep blue skirt flowed and cascaded, gently wrapping around the man's long, slender legs, which were encased in custom-made trousers.
The girl's fair and smooth calves were faintly visible in the deep blue light, and her delicate anklet shimmered with tiny, sparkling lights under the illumination, dazzling and radiant.
Every turn, twist, and stretch is like sculpting a work of art—elegant, languid, and carefree.
It's like strolling leisurely in an open field, yet also like blooming splendidly at a grand palace banquet.
It was truly a visual feast, a real treat, a delight to behold, and I felt utterly inadequate in comparison!
When the first key was pressed, everyone suddenly lost in thought.
The girl had already sat down at the piano, her fair and delicate fingers nimbly dancing across the black and white keys, using the most elegant combinations to play soft and crisp melodies.
As the melody finished its first rise and fall, the violin's long and beautiful rhythm suddenly drifted into everyone's ears, gently echoing the crispness of the keys. The two complemented each other perfectly!
Sitting in front of the piano, Gong Ning was immersed in the world that Yan Jingzhou had woven for her with music, as if she had returned to the time two years ago when he taught her to play the piano blindfolded.
Gradually, they entered a state of complete absorption, and the music became increasingly melodious and graceful.
Like a lingering melody, it resonated for three days!
The crowd's gazes drifted into the distance, their faces involuntarily revealing a sense of rapture.
Grandpa Yan's eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked at the familiar yet gradually blurring scene before him.
A slight pang of sadness welled up in my heart. I couldn't even remember how many years had passed since he had brought his wife to the event in such formal attire, where they had pledged their love and commitment to each other through dance!
Sadly, she is no longer here!
As the music gradually faded, Grandpa Yan snapped out of his reverie, clapped his hands, and exclaimed "Bravo!" three times.
This was one of the few times in the life of this serious old man that he showed his emotions.
This also clarifies that this girl, possessing countless charms, is the designated matriarch of the Yan clan, and has gained the approval of the clan's patriarch, destined for a life of prosperity and extraordinary nobility!
Everyone was extremely envious.
The importance of the initiation ceremony was tacitly understood by everyone present, but Old Master Yan's behavior was more like a weather vane.
Everyone immediately joined in the applause, which resounded throughout the banquet hall and lasted for a long time!
It seems as if they want to record this grand occasion forever, just like the long-lasting prosperity of the Yan tribe!
