Chapter 539: Chapter 538: Miss Lu, will you be my heir?

After several pieces concluded, the small theater erupted in thunderous applause; many in the audience enthusiastically chanted Shen Yixin’s name, hoping she would return to the stage to perform one more piece.

This was already the third encore.

Concerts are like this, aside from standard repertoires, the performers prepare several extra pieces.

If the audience is fervent in their requests, they return to the stage to play again, similar to an unexpected treat.

Worried about Lu Mian’s left hand, Shen Yixin ultimately announced the end of the performance after the last piece had been played.

The audience still yearned for more.

Kunyang in the front row was particularly reluctant, “Is it over already?”

“Mr.

Kun, it’s about time we left too,” Pu Huaiyin urged with a not-so-pleasant expression on his face.

Kunyang waved his hand dismissively, “You go ahead if you want to leave, I want to savor the moment a bit more.”

“…”

“I’ve heard Mi Lu’s compositions before, but this time Yixin’s performance not only perfectly captured Mi Lu’s musical essence, but her improvisational skills alive were also truly precious!” He murmured reflectively, stroking his chin, “Chu Kong’s eye for talent is indeed sharp…”

Pu Huaiyin, hearing him praise Shen Yixin and Chu Kong again, wore a smile on his face but rolled his eyes inwardly.

“You’re right, I’m just not sure what’s going on with Shao Yunxuan…”

“Such misconduct must be investigated thoroughly!”

“Yes, I hope it is!” Pu Huaiyin thought gleefully, knowing if Shao Yunxuan’s deceit was confirmed, Chu Kong’s reputation would surely suffer as well.

Anyway, for him, it wasn’t a loss either way!

Shen Yixin and Lu Mian left the stage and went backstage.

From there, the thunderous applause and calls from the theater could still be heard clearly.

Shen Yixin’s cheeks were flushed; after a spirited and drenching performance, she had finally recaptured some of the sensations she used to feel on stage.

For the past two years, she lived in despair, and this was her first formal performance onstage.

As she listened to so many people chanting her name and offering applause, Shen Yixin’s eyes reddened, clutching her left hand, her emotions were mixed and reflective.

Looking at Lu Mian’s slight and slender figure, she softly called out,

“Miss Lu, thank you!”

Lu Mian turned around, glanced at Shen Yixin whose emotions hadn’t yet settled, “You’re excellent on your own; it doesn’t have much to do with me.”

“No, if it weren’t for performing with you, I don’t think I could have produced such an effect on my own,” she spoke candidly, “Honestly, I was surprised that you understand Mi Lu’s works so well.

At times beside the piano, I even doubted whether you were Mi Lu himself for a moment.”

Lu Mian’s expression paused, then she couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“How could that be…”

“Ah, don’t mind me, I was just making a comparison,” Shen Yixin looked down, her eyes tinged with a touch of maidenly shyness and reticence, and she awkwardly looked away.

Lu Mian’s heart skipped a beat and she cleared her throat softly, “I understand, I’ll go out for some air.”

She took the lead and left backstage.

Shen Yixin watched her retreating figure, wondering why she seemed to perceive a hint of guilt?

After a moment of thought, and listening to the still-eager calls from the theater, she returned to the stage.

By this time, the white curtain was raised, and Shen Yixin stood in the center of the stage, turning on the microphone.

The audience, seeing her return, excitedly settled back into their seats.

“Thank you all very much for coming to today’s concert.

On behalf of my master, Chu Kong, I bow and apologize to everyone.

Due to health reasons, he was unable to perform as planned, but he is always thinking of the stage and piano, so I took his place to fulfill his wish.”

“Miss Yixin, you were fantastic!”

“We got our money’s worth!

This trip was well worth it!”

“We haven’t had enough, play one more piece!”

Another song was definitely out of the question.

Shen Yixin smiled gently and shook her head, “Thank you for your love, everyone.

Before I came on stage today, my heart was truly aflutter.

I had no confidence in playing a piece with just one hand…

but what I want to say is, the piece I just finished was not played by me alone.”

The audience was taken aback, “Miss Shen, what do you mean?”

“What I mean is, I had a partner who helped me complete this concert.

It was she who gave me the courage to come on stage, and it was she who guided me through these pieces.”

Shen Yixin said this, “I can understand her desire to keep a low profile and stay out of the limelight, but I cannot take sole credit for the success of this concert.

I am truly grateful!”

The audience below understood as well.

No wonder there was a white screen blocking the view.

It was because the other person didn’t want to attract attention and had covered it up.

But this made everyone even more curious.

“Miss Shen, who is your partner?

Can you reveal a bit about them?”

Shen Yixin smiled softly, her gentleness mixed with a hint of shrewdness: “I believe, you’ll definitely be able to guess.”

Having said that, she bowed to the audience below and left the stage with great composure.

Audience: Guess who?

Could it beaEUR”

“Is it Lu Mian?

She just went out and has not come back!”

“Based on the glimpse we saw of Lu Mian earlier, it has to be her!”

“This is good news, why doesn’t she want to go public?”

No one understood Lu Mian’s thoughts, only Xiao Qimo did.

But, after what Shen Yixin said, his wife’s secret identity probably wouldn’t stay hidden for longaEUR|

Lu Mian planned to go to Chu Kong’s lounge to look for Ya Ling and was unaware of what Shen Yixin had said behind her.

By the time she reached the lounge and pushed the door open, she was met with a bear hug.

“Mian brother Mian brother, I really love you, mwah mwah mwah~~”

Ya Ling clung to Lu Mian as soon as she came up, as if she wished she could hang off her.

The aloof girl squinted, looking at Ya Ling with a sense of satisfaction, and also managed a gentle smile.

“Happy?”

“Happy, so happy!” Ya Ling nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

Her current act of coquetry was quite at odds with her cool and tough image.

Who let Lu Mian be so A, so dominant, and yet so compatible!

Chu Kong finally had a moment to himself, standing up excitedly and somewhat shakily, he finally had the chance to speak: “Miss Lu!”

Lu Mian narrowed her clear eyes, looking over indifferently.

On Shao Yunxuan’s end, she watched with eyes wide open as the concert came to a perfect close, the scene was explosively hot, and all the people were talking about Shen Yixin and guessing about Lu Mian, but no one mentioned her, Shao Yunxuan.

It was as if she had never existed on that stage, as if all her achievements had been effortlessly erased.

She knew that the one who had come to the rescue was Lu Mian, and it was precisely because she knew that she was even more upset.

“I’m going to see Mr.

Chu!”

She left with those words, storming out of the lounge.

Jia Fangqin followed immediately, and Mei Qin didn’t stop her.

The concert was over, and it was time to settle accounts.

When Shao Yunxuan arrived at the door of Chu Kong’s lounge, she happened to overhear a voice from inside.

She heard Chu Kong’s voice trembling, almost pleading.

“Miss Lu, would you be willing to be my successor?”
