Chapter Seventy-Three: Yue Yue Invincible

  Le Le's cautious appearance tugged at Jing Yang's heart, and he suddenly discovered that the fearless and daring girl had changed, knowing how to consider others' feelings now. He couldn't bear it, hoping she could remain her original self.

  Lele looked up to meet Jingyang's gaze, thinking he was worried she'd make a fool of herself. She frowned and said angrily, "Don't worry, I'll try my best not to embarrass you, Lord Jing."

  Jing Yang knew she had misunderstood, but looking at her he was speechless.

  They finally arrived at the venue of the banquet, and Yueyue actually preferred to stay in the car. She always felt that this world didn't belong to her, but staying in the car was clearly unrealistic, as countless people were waiting just to catch a glimpse of who she was.

  She never thought she would end up in such a world, and the reason she chose Sun Ze as her friend a long time ago was to find an ordinary family and live an ordinary quiet life. Only now did she realize that from the moment she met Jing Yang, her peaceful days were disrupted, and this Jing demon was clearly a troublemaker.

  "Get off!"

  Lele took a deep breath, she wouldn't be a turtle hiding in its shell. The people inside weren't cannibals, and even if they were today, she would still give them a hard time. Lele psyched herself up and stepped out of the car.

  Jing Yang grabbed her arm and placed it in the crook of his elbow, Lele pinched him hard, seeing his eyebrows furrowed, she revealed a triumphant smile.

  Those who had been waiting there were like locusts that had starved to the extreme, discovering a field and swarming towards them. Lele saw Jingyang's parents handling it with ease, so she was only responsible for holding onto Jingyang's arm tightly.

  She was washed by the eyes of those people. Until the banquet began, she finally relaxed a little. It felt like someone had just tightened their neck.

  Occasionally, some elegant ladies or noble madams would play the piano or other instruments. Lele couldn't help but sigh in admiration, wondering if these women were all Guanyin with a thousand hands. At this moment, the small curly-haired woman sitting across from her smiled and called out to her, "Miss An?"

  Lele looked at her with a different expression, and she didn't recognize her. Why did she call out so sweetly? No, there was a knife hidden in her smile, and her vigilance index rose to five stars.

  Lele took a closer look at her, and that head of small curly hair was the same color as the Bolognese dogs she had seen in the neighborhood.

  Lele smiled in response.

  "What kind of instrument is Miss An good at?" The woman smiled with a hint of ulterior motive.

  Lele knew that the woman wanted to see her make a fool of herself, and she saw that Jingyang's parents were also slightly embarrassed. Jingyang calmly said: "Today's banquet is for my parents to relax and unwind, not for comparing talents."

  "Otherwise, singing and dancing to help the excitement has been around since ancient times!" A man next to the woman said, Lele frowned and thought secretly that this man was either the woman's husband or her lover.

  Jingyang held Lele's hand under the table, giving her warmth and reassurance that he was there for her. He wouldn't let these people make fun of her.

  Lele was moved by the warmth from his palm.

  "I'm getting older and I'd rather have some peace around me, isn't that a good thing?" said Mama Jing, mediating.

  "Madam, you're skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How could the daughter-in-law you've chosen be inferior? We don't believe it, hehe..." The woman's words made Lele want to throw a teacup at her.

  Jing Yang was about to say something when Lele laughed and pressed his hand down, laughing and saying: "I will beat music, I don't know if it counts as elegant or not?"

  "Oh?" The crowd looked at her in surprise.

  Lele laughed and stood up. He grabbed several bowls from the table, releasing them one by one, shattering the tea bowls. Everyone stared at Lele in astonishment.

  Lele bent down to pick up the ceramic pieces, and Jingyang hastily stopped her.

  The woman frowned and said: "Are you venting your discontent?"

  Lao Lao smiled and said: "Auntie, I'm not that easily irritated." The woman's face immediately fell, and she quickly used her hand to cover her own face.

  Lele arranged the porcelain pieces on the table, and everyone didn't know what she was going to do. Lele picked up a cup of water, poured it onto the porcelain pieces, then took chopsticks, looked around and said: "I've been neglecting my training lately, please forgive me."

  Lele tapped the porcelain plate with chopsticks. The porcelain plate rang out, like a spring hitting a stone, like a clear breeze blowing, Lele was playing "Wedding in a Dream", those flowing notes seemed to be tapping on everyone's heart, not losing to piano performance at all, some women were moved by her melody.

  Jing Yang looked at her standing quietly beside him, skillfully tapping away, her calm demeanor seeming out of place in this world. Jing's father and mother also exchanged a knowing smile.

  When the music ended, there was a burst of applause around, "This is the real lingering sound."

  "This is still the first time I've seen such a performance..."

  Some people came over to try, but the sound of knocking was completely different from Lele's. Several people asked Lele to teach them the trick, and that woman suddenly became quiet, with a smile on her face that was even more difficult to look at than crying.

  An elder smiled and said, "Actually I'm also very interested, but today we're here for a gathering. As for learning skills, there's always another day. Hopefully when the time comes, Miss An will be willing to teach us."

  Lao Lao took a look at the old aunt and smiled: "I will definitely tell you everything, without holding anything back."

  When she sat down, she let out a long sigh. Jing Yang carefully examined her hand, afraid that there might be cuts on it, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

  "It's okay!"

  "I didn't think you were still so secretive!"

  "That's right, how dare you come out and mix without two brushes?" Lele said with a smile.

  Jingyang couldn't help but laugh, "You're so fat you're panting, put your big tail down."

  Lele pouted, and in an instant she turned into a giant-tailed monster in Jingyang's words. As soon as she thought of the big fluffy tail behind her back, Lele's face turned red.

  "Right, what else is there about you that I don't know?" Jingyang asked.

  Lele narrowed her eyes and coldly laughed: "Heaven's secrets can't be revealed, how can the skills of a housekeeper be casually shown off?"

  To outsiders, they were just a pair of intimate lovers whispering to each other.

  When the music started again, many men and women quietly got up from their seats, it turned out to be dance time. Many people cast their eyes on Lele, Lele knew that she couldn't escape this calamity. These people were so troublesome, it seemed they wouldn't let her go until they had tormented her to death. She was furious in her heart, but her expression was calm and collected. Since she dared to come here standing tall, she didn't plan on leaving lying down. Let these guys who looked down on others go play by themselves!

  "Can you dance?" Jingyang asked in a low voice, knowing that those people were all watching them.

  "What if I told you it won't work!"

  "It's nothing," Jingyang said with a smile.

  "Huh?"

  "Follow me, just follow in my footsteps and watch my glasses," Jingyang said.

  "Why don't you give it a try?" Lele said with a smile.

  Jingyang really felt sorry for her, today she faced far more tests than any test she had ever taken before.

  Everyone around them looked over at them.

  Luo Luo smiled at Jing Yang and said: "If this dance partner is not qualified, I will change immediately."

  Jing Yang was really helpless, this girl was indeed interesting.

  The next moment, he realized that he had been completely deceived by this girl. Not only could she dance, but she danced exceptionally well, with elegant and beautiful steps that left him stunned.

  "How dare you deceive me!"

  "When I was in school, I was the lead dancer and also won the championship of ballroom dance. It's not that I'm bragging, but you just didn't see the promotional photos of our school's activities where I was the female lead," said Lele.

  "So that means I've struck gold." "Of course, just enjoy it secretly!" Lele said with a pleased smile. "Then who's your boyfriend, Sun Ze?" Jingyang asked.

  "No, he doesn't like participating in club activities," Lele said, and suddenly felt a little regretful, vaguely feeling that Jingyang's next question would be difficult to answer.

  Her feeling was indeed accurate, because the next question from Jing Yang was "Who is that?" Lele really didn't want to answer, but Jing Yang's gaze was so sharp that she couldn't avoid it. "It's Qi Hang senior," she said softly.

  Jingyang's hand tightened slightly around hers, and she was so scared that she didn't dare say anything else. She just knew this guy was jealous, but did he have any reason to be? Those people looked at Lele and Jingyang's happy and sweet appearance, and naturally knew that the conspiracy had failed again. Lele really didn't want to stay here anymore. If she stayed here, these people would test her on everything from music to chess to painting to singing to reciting to acting to fighting. Being with these hypocritical people for a long time, she felt that her fate was either death or madness.

  "Do you want to leave?" Jingyang asked her. "Can we leave?" Lele looked around at the crowded people and asked. Jingyang smiled and said, "Our legs are our own, who dares to stop us from leaving?" Lele looked at him with gratitude, Jingyang always knew what she was thinking, it's too happy!

  Jingyang took Lele away, draping his suit jacket over her shoulders, a sight that made others envious. Jingyang casually leaned in and kissed Lele's blushing face, who smiled and lowered her head. Jingdad and Jingmom were busy exchanging pleasantries with others, pretending not to notice their departure. When someone gossiped about them, Jingmom just laughed and said, "Can't they enjoy their little world for a bit?"

  "Where are you taking me?" Breathing in the air that didn't smell of champagne, Lele felt as free as the wind and greedily breathed in the fresh air, saying "It's so comfortable." Jingyang patted her head and said "You're really amazing, performing so well tonight."

  "Really?" Lele waited eagerly for Jingyang's praise. Jingyang furrowed his brow, thought for a moment and said: "It's just that compared to me, it's still a bit worse." Lele turned around in anger, not wanting to talk to him, this arrogant guy always had to be superior to her, she really felt frustrated, really hurt.

  "Want to go see the stars with me?" Jing Yang asked, looking at her. "Really?" "Where are we going to watch?" "The zoo!" Lele was so angry that she wanted to spit blood on his shirt. Was he talking about gorillas? That should be his close relative, easy to get angry, right? But these words Lele just thought in her heart, she didn't have the courage to say them out loud. "You go watch if you want, I'm not going with you," Lele said sulkily.
