Chapter 134: No matter what happens...

134 No matter what happens...

Xin Yong noticed the sudden silence from the crowd and turned to know what was happening.

If not that she knew Liling and had seen Liu Wei before, she would have wondered what god created such beauties, they were so perfect.

Liu Wei was putting on a bright black suit which was matching with the white lacy gown Liling was wearing. She didn't put on much makeup, but her beauty was radiating from every angle.

Liu Wei felt extremely proud walking with her.

He knew that no one would ever come close to her now they've seen them together.

Though he wasn't smiling, there was a glint in his eyes that showed that he was joyous.

It took some seconds for the crowd to regain their composure after which a gossip session ensued.

'Who is she?'

'Why haven't we seen her before?'

'Are they together? '

'Is Liu Wei finally seeing someone now? '

The women gossiped among themselves as the couple walked in. An attendant directed them to an unoccupied large comfy seat and Liu Wei waited patiently for Liling to sit before he sat down next to her.

Liling could feel stares from every angle, her ears were already beet red. Liu Wei wasn't the least affected, he casually took the wine glasses a waiter brought to them and offered Liling one, which she meticulously took with her both hands.

The wine glass acted like a shock absorber. From the way Liling held it with her both hands, it was clear that she was transferring her aggression unto it.

After sometime, the party hall returned back to normal. Though some people were still talking about them, the loud music in the hall enveloped their voices.

At this point, Liling was able to calm down a bit. She lifted her glass to her lips and took a sip.

'Ouch!, always bitter! can't they serve something nice, this is a birthday party for crying out loud! '

Liling's face shrunk at the bitter taste of the alcohol. She wondered how people drank such and still looked okay.

As she was about placing the glass down on the table in front of her, the lights in the hall automatically went off.

The whole place went pitch black and Liling who couldn't spot an empty spot on the table retracted her hands, holding the wine glass firmly.

There were murmurings in the hall as everyone wondered what had happened to the lights.

Xin Yong turned to ask Jin Yue what went wrong only to find out that the space he was occupying by her side was empty. As she was about to call his name, the lights on the the stage suddenly lit up.

Everybody's attention was dawn to the stage.

Jin Yue walked into the stage and took the microphone from the MC.

A familiar tune began playing in the background. Xin Yong recognized the song, in fact she knew the song too well and... that was obviously not a birthday song...

Jin Yue hadn't sang for anyone in his whole life and he wasn't used to singing at all so at that moment, he was a bit nervous.

He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath after which he opened them and set them on one certain person, and he began to sing...

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawin' me in and you kickin' me out

You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'

I can't pin you down

What's goin' on in that beautiful mind?

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me

But I'll be alright

My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginnin'

Even when I lose, I'm winnin'...
