Chapter 320: Chapter 321: Quite Foolish

Ye Lunfei suddenly looked up, a face of surprise as he looked at He Jinxia.

"You’re familiar with ancient-style songs?" he asked, his eyes sparkling.

He Jinxia shook her head, "I only listen."

Ye Lunfei’s eyes brightened even more, "Listening is enough, I don’t need you to be able to create. At least you understand more than most people. Come, come, help me listen to these songs."

He said enthusiastically, almost going over to grab He Jinxia’s arm to make her go with him.

And where were they going?

Obviously, it was to the recording studio to listen to music!

Ye Lunfei wanted to do just that, but as soon as he met Sheng Yan’s profound gaze, he immediately chickened out, hastily erasing the thought from his mind, lest the more he thought about it, the more he felt pity for himself, stifling himself.

Without further ado, Ye Lunfei picked up his cup and moistened his throat, and immediately began to sing.

Being a top-tier singer, Ye Lunfei’s singing skills naturally need no mention; his voice was not the currently popular deep and husky but clear and soothing, like a gentle, clear spring slowly flowing into people’s hearts.

This kind of voice, seemingly ordinary yet not common, appeared simple yet very difficult to mimic, naturally suited for singing love songs. The title "Prince of Love Songs" was well-deserved.

He was no longer just relying on his gifted voice to sing, but was singing with his own experiences, with his emotions.

Dong Qiin and others were very satisfied with this gathering. Not to mention the chance to meet a top-tier singer, just having a feast for the mouth, eyes, and ears alone made the trip worthwhile!

Ye Lunfei, not stopping at one, continued to sing several ancient-style songs from his album.

He Jinxia listened attentively, initially still able to eat while listening, but as she continued, even ceased to care about her food.

Sheng Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, but he kept placing food in her bowl without stopping.

When Ye Lunfei took a pause to drink water after finishing a song, Sheng Yan slightly squeezed the hand that was holding Jinxia’s and said in a cold voice, "Eat."

He Jinxia came to her senses, shuddering under his penetrating gaze, and resignedly lowered her head to pick up food and eat.

Unfortunately, Dong Qiin and Xiao Xiuxiu clearly saw the interaction between these two.

Dong Qiin and Xiao Xiuxiu exchanged glances, each seeing a mix of shock and... fright? in the other’s eyes.

In the background, the music of Ye Lunfei continued to drift softly, adding a warm, tender touch to the private room.

***

By the time the formal dinner ended, it was almost midnight.

On the way out of the private room, Ye Lunfei deliberately pulled Sheng Yan aside into a secluded corner. He patted him on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs-up, his expression bright and cheerful, with an understanding that went unspoken.

Sheng Yan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Jinxia is very sensitive to anything related to ancient times; you might find it beneficial to talk more with her when you have time."

Ye Lunfei nodded repeatedly, his eyes moist, his stance so cute that one would want to reach out and affectionately ruffle his blond hair.

"It’s been extremely enlightening, almost like hiring a consultant professor from the Chinese department my team specifically brought in. Sometimes, I feel that professor’s knowledge isn’t as good as Jinxia’s. What if I hire her as a consultant?" Ye Lunfei asked.

Without hesitation, Sheng Yan refused, "She’s not available."

Ye Lunfei clicked his tongue and said ruefully, "Before you’ve even married her, you’re already so fiercely protective of her. What will happen once you’ve married? Are you planning to hide her away for a lifetime without meeting anyone?"

Seeing that Sheng Yan remained unmoved, Ye Lunfei’s eyes flickered, and he played the emotional card, "This album is crucial— you know that. I’ve made a bet with the company, and I’ve put all my eggs in one basket with this album. Please ask your wife to help me out!"

Upon hearing the word "wife," Sheng Yan felt quite pleased, but his expression remained indifferent, "You’re not an artist under Tonghua Entertainment."

Ye Lunfei raised his eyebrows and heavily patted Sheng Yan’s shoulder, "Come on, what’s our relationship!"

Sheng Yan looked at him, "She’s not available in September, and your album is going to market in October. The timing doesn’t match."

At the mention of going to market, Ye Lunfei’s head drooped suddenly, and his voice became low.

"Going to market? Under these circumstances, how can we even think about going to market? We only decided on producing an ancient style album at the beginning of the year. Songs in the ancient style are difficult as every word must be considered carefully. We already had a tight schedule for preparation, and while the songs that were produced might just suffice, you just heard that some lyrics have issues!"

His voice rose slightly, anger evident in his eyes, "Does she think I’m too dumb, or have I been too indulgent towards her? Even without the issues Jinxia pointed out today, I was not planning to release the album in October!"

He had previously mentioned an October release merely as a talking point to lighten the mood.

The problem between Ye Lunfei and his agent had always been there, and it only worsened after he became a top-tier artist, revolving around a longstanding issue of "favor."

Ye Lunfei never sought Sheng Yan’s advice; he only told him the situation.

Sheng Yan had always just listened and never offered any advice.

He knew Ye Lunfei had his own views on the matter, so he never did anything unnecessary.

Now that Ye Lunfei suddenly asked, Sheng Yan glanced at him and suddenly smiled lightly, saying, "It’s quite foolish."

Ye Lunfei: "..." Why did he have to endure this kind of hurt while feeling down!

He glared at Sheng Yan fiercely.

Unfortunately, Ye Lunfei’s appearance was too gentle to be intimidating; even when angry, people found him adorable, endearing, and sunny, making his anger seem trivial.

Suddenly thinking of something, Ye Lunfei chuckled mysteriously and said, "Sheng Yan, you will have He Jinxia come over to help me; you definitely will!"

Sheng Yan looked up at him.

Ye Lunfei spread his hands, "Aren’t you looking for an opportunity to interact with He Jinxia?"

"With the elders at home usually, you can’t go to her door frequently. This is the perfect opportunity— let He Jinxia come over to help me, and you can come to visit a friend under that pretext, right?"

He gently patted Sheng Yan’s shoulder, confidently saying, "Think about it."

After finishing speaking, Ye Lunfei turned around and left with a clear and refreshed air; he didn’t need an answer from Sheng Yan.

After all, he was the "Prince of Love Songs," having been in a few relationships; he knew that couples in love couldn’t resist the temptation to meet each other.

On the other side, after He Jinxia left the private room, Dong Qiin and Xiao Xiuxiu pulled her into the restroom.

"Confess for leniency; resist for severity. As long as you confess honestly, there might still be a chance to redeem yourself!" Dong Qiin stared at He Jinxia, her eyes slightly narrowed, gravely said.

Xiao Xiuxiu stood beside Dong Qiin, a hint of a smile on her face as she gently said, "Jinxia, aren’t we your good friends? Shouldn’t good friends share their stories? Have you had some good news recently?"

There, they’d used every tactic, both soft and hard.
