Chapter 721: Chapter 730 Love Song Duet (2)
The people nearby were even more ecstatic, “Duet for a love song, duet for a love song!”
Several of Jian Anning’s acquaintances who had good relations with her also smiled and said, “Anning, we’ve never heard you sing before! This ti, you must sing one for us to hear!”
At this point, Yu Zexiao felt wronged as he hadn’t anticipated this situation at all, and he was completely stunned.
As for Jian Anning, she was in an awkward spot, almost wishing she could burrow into a hole in the ground!
Yu Zexiao, indignant, pinched her lower back again.
Nie Anni chid in with a dig, “Isn’t this what they call ‘reaping what you sow’?”
Yu Zexiao glared at her furiously, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!”
Nie Anni didn’t retaliate but simply said, “I’m waiting to hear your assistant—sing a wonderful love duet with Mr. Situ!”
Yu Zexiao felt so angry he could spit blood.
And as if the chaos wasn’t enough, Jiang Xuanqi, who loved to stir the pot, stood up and said, “Then, shall I help you pick a song? Hmm, I wonder what song Mr. Situ can sing?”
Situ Xuan smiled while looking at Jian Anning, with a teasing sparkle in his grey-blue eyes, “How about an English song? I’m not too familiar with Huaxia Country’s songs. ‘MY LOVE’? How does that sound?”
Jiang Xuanqi also turned to Jian Anning, “Assistant Jian, what do you say?”
What could Jian Anning say? She could only nod her head, “Alright.”
No sooner had she spoken than she felt another pinch on her lower back from Yu Zexiao.
An assistant nearby, very eager, handed microphones to the two of them, while soone else asked, “Why don’t you stand to sing? Sitting down doesn’t capture the feel of a love song duet! It would be best if you two could look into each other’s eyes deeply!”
What? They have to stand to sing a love song? Look into each other’s eyes deeply?
Jian Anning just felt like her waist was about to be pinched off by Yu Zexiao.
However, Situ Xuan, with a smile playing on his lips, stood up gracefully and turned around, extending a gentlemanly hand towards Jian Anning as if to pull her to her feet, “Would the beautiful young lady like to sing a song with ?”
Jian Anning felt Yu Zexiao’s sneaky hand making a move for her lower back again and without a second word, she stood up straight, “No, no need. Let’s start!”
Soon, as the music began, Situ Xuan started singing:
“An empty street,
an empty house,
a hole inside my heart,
I’m all alone,
the rooms are getting smaller.”
While singing, Situ Xuan’s eyes were fixed on Jian Anning. In fact, even though he was singing, this song also happened to voice his own sentints.
He had power, he had money, but what he lacked was care and love—neither from family, parents, nor friends. And the only person who was sincere with him was the woman in front of him!
Jian Anning, left with no choice, sang the next line, “I wonder how, I wonder why…”
She had been trained in piano, and her voice, completely different from Situ Xuan’s deep and rich tone, was delicate, carrying a hint of helplessness and bewildernt, hitting the notes with precision.
