Chapter 633 -633: Proposal 7_1
The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. She couldn’t help but wonder, had she really wronged him in the past? As a result, he was wary and could only hide his affections in places difficult for others to detect, savoring them alone when night fell and all was quiet?
At that moment, the waiter brought another dish. Ye Xingguang immediately picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece in Ye Junqing’s bowl.
One chopstickful wasn’t enough, she reached out for more dishes. In the blink of an eye, she filled the small dish in front of Ye Junqing, her attentiveness startling Ye Junqing and leaving Tang Zhou dumbfounded.
What was Ye Xingguang’s strategy? Had she discovered that Ye Junqing liked Xia Yanyan and so now was trying to win his affection and steal his heart?
That might be… a good thing!
Surely it was better than having a quarrel at a state banquet!
...
Ye Xingguang was smart, yes. A clever person should indeed strive to capture Ye Junqing’s heart!
At the next table, Xia Yanyan had also noticed Ye Xingguang’s attentiveness. Her thoughts mirrored those of Tang Zhou. Hah, was this little White Lotus so desperate that she wants to win over Ye Junqing’s heart?
That attentiveness of hers was positively sly!
At this moment, one performance on stage ended and another began.
The announcer said, “The next performance, a symphony from the National Music Association…”
Offstage, everyone was eating and drinking, mingling and networking, so what performance was on stage didn’t quite matter.
As individuals of status and distinction, they’d all seen plenty of performances. The stage shows were just entertainment while everyone drank. However, when several dozen symphony members walked onto the stage with their respective instruments and the music played for two minutes, the banqueting hall’s boisterous chatter suddenly quieted down, growing quieter and quieter until eventually, all was still.
On stage, Madam Shen led the symphony, weaving together many domestic and international masterpieces into a seamless whole. After her innovative rearrangement, the performance reached successive climaxes and was majestic and grand, simply refreshing to listeners.

Even those young people who were not accustomed to appreciating highbrow music could not help but listen attentively, involuntarily uttering the phrase most familiar to them, “Damn, this medley is so phenomenal, take my kneel!”
Ye Xingguang had long since put down her chopsticks to attentively watch the symphony performance on stage, as her beloved Granny Shen was the overall conductor. It was thrilling!
The entire performance lasted nearly nineteen minutes, and Ye Xingguang listened attentively for all nineteen minutes.
Finally, she applauded enthusiastically.
Not just her applause, but the applause of the other guests filled the room.
“That was lit, I’m going to rave about this performance. I even recorded it!”
“I took pictures too, I’m going to share it in my circle of friends. The music was even more beautiful than what I’ve heard at concerts for which I’ve bought tickets. As expected of a state banquet, it’s so high-class!”
“Of course! Didn’t you see the real musicians on the stage? They are all moguls of the music industry. Did you notice the elderly woman conducting? That’s Madam Shen. Internationally renowned, she hasn’t performed in public since she retired. Only an occasion like the presidential inauguration could have enticed her!”
“Ah, I wish these maestros would perform another piece. Such a pity they have to take their final bows. Wait, it’s not over yet?”
Everyone could see Madam Shen standing in front of the microphone. Despite her age, her voice was graceful, “I am honored to have provided a feast for your ears this evening. The previous piece was a gift from the National Music Association to the newly inaugurated President. But tonight, I’d like to perform another piece, because…”
