Chapter 29 The Legendary Life of a Noble Daughter
Mingyi didn't expect that the scene would be like this when she met Xu Chenxi again. She didn't expect that she would agree to the conditions that she originally used to make things difficult for her senior brother, so she was a little curious.
When they arrived at the agreed place, Xu Chenxi was already waiting there. Hearing the footsteps behind her, Xu Chenxi was unusually nervous. This nervousness was even more nervous than her first performance as the main dancer.
"Sorry, I'm late." Mingyi sat down opposite her.
"It's okay, I just arrived too." Xu Chenxi suppressed his inner excitement.
Soon a waiter came over to ask. Mingyi ordered a cup of coffee, then looked up at Xu Chenxi and asked, "I didn't think you'd agree." After all, the concert was her home, so why would she be willing to play a supporting role? And they had a history like that.
Her question made Xu Chenxi chuckle, and then she slowly spoke: "Mingyi, do you know? Many people want to work with you, including me, of course."
"I thought you hated me." Mingyi said it without any concealment, as if she knew that there were many people who liked her, and also many who hated her.
"There was indeed a moment when I felt disgusted with you, but I lost because I was not as skilled as you. I am convinced of my defeat to you." Xu Chenxi said seriously. There was a moment when she really hated Mingyi's sudden appearance that caused her to lose the trophy, but it was also because of her appearance that she realized her own shortcomings and understood that there are always people better than you.
Mingyi raised the corner of her lips. She liked people who were honest. She extended her hand to Xu Chenxi and said, "Then it's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Xu Chenxi took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Next, the two of them discussed the piece of music she would perform. Xu Chenxi also invited her to visit his dance studio when she had time and gave some suggestions. Mingyi gladly agreed. She thought that perhaps this was her last concert, and it would be better to strive for perfection.
Huo Jiamu was in charge of the early preparations, so all Mingyi needed to do was to decide on the repertoire and the dress she would wear. As for practice, she had a fixed time to practice every day, so no special arrangements were needed.
Knowing Ming Yi's plan, everyone in the Ming family was supportive. Ming Siyuan even contacted Huo Jiamu, saying that if they needed sponsorship or a venue, the Ming family could coordinate. After Huo Jiamu retired from the business world, he naturally understood the value of this statement. The Ming family's favor for Ming Yi gave him a new understanding.
Xu Chenxi, for her part, had turned down all work since she and Mingyi had finalized the details of their collaboration. Her instincts told her that this would be Mingyi's final concert. She was like the wind, never staying still. She would surely experience a more exciting world in the future. She, on the other hand, was different. Even if she turned down those offers, she knew there would still be opportunities for future collaborations. Dance was her lifelong career, and this collaboration with Mingyi was just this once.
Duan Jingyao knew this news from someone else. The feeling in his heart came back. He looked at the person opposite him and couldn't help asking, "Are you coming to the concert?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Mingyi was a little curious. She had planned to tell him when she gave him the tickets, so that it would be a surprise, but he didn't seem to think so.
"My friend told me." Duan Jingyao glanced at Mingyi and found that she had no intention of explaining. She couldn't help but frowned: "Mingyi, don't you want to explain?"
"What's there to explain? Holding a concert is my own plan and intention. Do I need to report it to you in advance? Duan Jingyao, understand your own position." Mingyi's eyes were full of displeasure. He was just her boyfriend, and he wanted to control too much.
"That's not what I meant. You are my girlfriend. I just don't want to hear about your affairs from other people. Do you understand what I mean?" Duan Jingyao hurriedly explained when he noticed her anger.
"You also said that we are just boyfriend and girlfriend. Even if we are family, I don't need to tell them all my decisions in detail. Duan Jingyao, you have crossed the line." Mingyi looked at Duan Jingyao coldly. She wondered what was the difference between his current questioning and Lu Xiujin's before. In their eyes, she was just a girlfriend, not an independent individual.
"What do you mean?" Duan Jingyao was a little displeased.
"Let's break up." Mingyi frowned. She hated his questioning tone.
"I don't agree." Duan Jingyao said without thinking.
"Breaking up is about informing, not asking for your consent, Duan Jingyao. My personality and the way I deal with things have always been like this. Don't think that you're trying to change me after being together for a long time." When Mingyi said this, she suddenly remembered Ji Shuxuan's words. Men are the best at pretending. Most people will pretend until you get pregnant and give birth. Mingyi curled the corners of her lips. He hasn't pretended for as long as Lu Xiujin.
"Mingyi, that's not what I meant. You are so outstanding. I just want more sense of security." Duan Jingyao explained incoherently. Although he was the King in his track, he had always been in a low position in this good relationship, so he wanted to hold her tightly, but he didn't expect that it would be counterproductive.
Mingyi did not feel any regret about breaking up with Duan Jingyao. If it weren't for what happened today, they would have broken up too. There was no other reason, because all the points that attracted her to him in the first place had disappeared. You could say she was heartless, but that was the fact.
With Ming's sponsorship, the preliminary work for the concert was quickly prepared. Huo Jiamu and the ticketing company began to issue tickets, and Mingyi reserved seats for her family members.
The day before the concert, she and Xu Chenxi rehearsed. Xu Chenxi had choreographed the entire dance by herself, and Mingyi loved it. When the last note fell, Xu Chenxi's dance also ended. The two smiled at each other, and Mingyi stood up and said, "You danced very well."
Xu Chenxi thought that she had been persistent in wanting to work with her, probably waiting for her to say this. She raised the corner of her lips and said, "Thank you."
Neither of them had expected that when they coincidentally performed the same action at the concert, the media would capture this moment and name the photo "Mutual Appreciation Between Women". The topic quickly became a hot search. It was also at this time that everyone knew that the year Mingyi won the Spring Breeze Cup, Xu Chenxi was the second place. For a moment, everyone remembered a few things about themselves and their competitors, and made healthy competition a hot word.
Huo Jiamu was a little surprised. Although it was a habit for Mingyi to appear on the hot searches, the two entries on the hot searches this time were particularly eye-catching. If he was not Mingyi's agency, he would have suspected that he had bought these entries.
There are not many positive hot searches like this. Because of these two days of hot searches, Xu Chenxi has been seen by more people and has received more job offers. She thinks that all this is due to her own efforts, but she should also thank Mingyi for the popularity she brought.
Mingyi: This is the result of your hard work and has nothing to do with me.
After sending this message, Mingyi looked at the receipt in her hand. This was Xu Chenxi's dance ticket. Although dance was gradually marginalized in her plan, she still had time to visit her old friend.
It was also in this year that Mingyi completely ended her work at Lu Corporation and became single again. As for love, she did not give up because of her two previous failed relationships. She just felt that she had not found someone who was on the same wavelength as her. The world is so big, she thought she would always meet someone who was on the same wavelength as her.
Without her position at Lu, Mingyi's life became more relaxed. She would fly to Iceland to see the northern lights, and go to Africa to watch the great animal migration. It was also at this time that she once again felt her own insignificance. She still knew too little about the vast world.
Twenty-five-year-old Mingyi is still a newcomer to the world, but thirty-year-old Mingyi has spent five years traveling around the world. During this year, she became fascinated with photography. It was also this year that she found her boyfriend, a painter, who was on the same wavelength as herself at the time. They now have common topics and the same hobbies, so they get along very happily.
Over the past five years, Ming Yuxuan would report the situation of Ming's company to her on time at the end of every year. It was also in this year that Ming Siyuan announced his retirement and transferred all his shares to Ming Yi. Ming Yan became Ming's agent, and he could also be called Ming Yi's professional manager.
Thirty-year-old Mingyi takes her camera to her favorite places to take pictures every day, and occasionally accompanies her boyfriend to new places to sketch. Such days are also a new experience for her.
Thirty-three-year-old Mingyi ended her relationship with her painter boyfriend, which was her longest relationship. The reason for the separation was simple: the two had different plans for the future. The other wanted a comfortable family life, but Mingyi couldn't do that, so the two broke up peacefully.
For Mingyi, romance has never been a necessity, but an embellishment of life. Unfortunately, her best friend Ji Shuxuan insisted on dragging her to go skiing to relax. Mingyi knew that this was just an excuse to drag her to go skiing, but she still agreed. After all, she was her only best friend.
Like Mingyi, Ji Shuxuan is also single. The only difference is that she has a constant stream of boyfriends, as she needs someone to be with her in a foreign country. Her family of origin also made her lose hope in marriage and family. This year, the two reminisced about their first meeting and returned from the ski resort overnight to connect to Mingyi's estate in Country Y.
The purebred horses of those days are long gone, even her Feixue and the batch of warm-blooded horses that her great-grandfather specially picked for her are gone. The manor no longer raises horses, but it is still one of Mingyi's most cherished memories.
Mingyi returned home after traveling with Ji Shuxuan for a month. You Shiliu's birthday was approaching. Although she had been traveling abroad in recent years, she would fly back specially to celebrate her family's birthday with them every time it was their birthday.
Over the years, the three young men in the Ming family have all gotten married, but Ming Yuxuan remains single. Ming Yi asked curiously, "Are you also a non-marriage advocate?"
"Not entirely. Perhaps the one who can save me hasn't appeared yet." Ming Yuxuan rejects becoming a father, but not marriage. He's had two relationships in recent years, but both ended in failure, with neither partner seeming to believe he'd stay a DINK. But the trauma his parents inflicted on him as a child has left him unsure of how to be a parent, so he persists in his DINK lifestyle.
So, they were the only two single people at the party, but everyone in the Ming family always respected their own choices, so no one mentioned this matter at the party.
It was also in this year that Mingyi took her parents to travel around the world again, making up for the regret of not being with her parents all these years.
Thirty-seven-year-old Mingyi held her first photography exhibition. Every photo in the exhibition was a "god-level" photo she took around the world.
All old friends came to this exhibition, including Liang Qinglan, who is already in her seventies. After so many years, no one expected that the five of them, teachers and students, would reunite at Mingyi's photography exhibition.
Yuan Heyu and Qiao Mengan no longer regretted that Mingyi's talent was wasted because they found that as long as she was willing, she would succeed in whatever she did, and her talent was not limited to piano.
The photography exhibition was very successful, so successful that Mingyi's name once again became a hot search. Like Mingyi, the onlookers at that time also reduced their surfing time, but this time the hot searches on major platforms made everyone feel like they were dreaming back to the past, so Mingyi's life was brought up again.
It’s raining every day: Wow, this girl’s life is so exciting!
Little Red Riding Hood: Even at the age of thirty-seven, Mingyi is still the definition of a young lady in my mind.
Time never changes: The eldest daughter’s life is always about exploring new areas. I’m really envious of her.
Xiaoxiao: Her life is so exciting, it makes my blood boil
Little Sun: I envy you. This is a real young lady.
Thirty-seven-year-old Mingyi no longer reads these remarks. To her, the present life is more important. The original reason she liked photography was that she discovered that photos can freeze happy moments at that moment.
The success of the photography exhibition made Mingyi love photography even more. It was not until she was 40 years old that she slowly stopped traveling around to take photos. She opened a photography company. She found that she could feel happy when she saw others taking such photos.
Life after the age of forty seemed to be accelerated, but Mingyi was still the center of the family. The three little children all liked their aunt Mingyi very much, especially Mingyan's daughter Ming Qingjia. Among the family members, she liked this little aunt the most.
As Ming Qingjia grew up, he gradually understood Mingyi's experiences from childhood to adulthood, and kept urging Mingyi to write an autobiography. Mingyi refused at first, until she was 75 years old, watching the people around her gradually leave, Mingyi suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to leave an autobiography.
It took Mingyi five years to write her autobiography. Before it was published, she fell asleep quietly in her room. Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear a mechanical voice.
