Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mommy, 1 have a wonderful surprise for you. Come with me quickly,” Coco ran up to Shen Mei with a sweet, milk-like voice and a beaming smile.

Shen Mei was pretending to play the piano, occasionally casting seductive glances at Li Zhenteng. She could see the tenderness welling up in his ink-black eyes, and she couldn’t contain her joy. He would soon announce their wedding date, and many reporters had already arrived. It would be difficult for him to back out now.

However, she didn’t expect Ding Ding to approach at this moment.

She smiled at Ding Ding and gestured for him to leave, not wanting to be disturbed.

But Ding Ding blinked his big eyes as if he couldn’t understand her, and instead, he reached out and took her hand, sweetly saying, “Mommy, I’ve prepared a birthday gift for you. Come on, follow me.”

Without waiting for her agreement, he dragged her away.

Even though Coco was only five years old, he had practiced martial arts, so he was quite strong.

With a sudden tug, he pulled Shen Mei’s arm away from the piano. She was wearing long, slender high heels, and as her entire body left the seat, her feet wobbled, causing her to fall to the ground.

Everyone was left stunned.

They had been expecting the piano to stop playing.

But then, something strange happened.

The beautiful piano music not only didn’t stop, but it became even more passionate and moving, like a song and a cry.

After a moment of bewilderment, everyone finally understood.

Shen Mei had been pretending to play all along.

The piano piece was just too beautiful, and everyone had forgotten to expose Shen Mei’s act. The entire room remained in utter silence, captivated by the music.

Li Zhenteng’s face lit up with fascination as he stood up.

Xiao Feng, it must be you!

His emotions overwhelmed him as he rushed toward the backstage.

Meanwhile, Shen Ning was lost in her playing, and beautiful scenes slowly unfolded in her mind. Suddenly, her head began to throb painfully.

Li Zhenteng had just reached the backstage following the music when it abruptly stopped.

Shen Ning, her hands cradling her head, sat in agony on the chair in front of the piano.

“Is it you? What are you doing here?” Li Zhenteng entered the backstage and was astonished to see Shen Ning, her face twisted in pain.

Shen Ning’s vision briefly darkened, and stars sparkled before her eyes. After a moment, she stood up and rushed outside.

Li Zhenteng glanced at the piano stand and then at the amplifier. His face turned as dark as the sea, and he turned to leave.

“Hey, why did the music stop?”

“It was so beautiful! Who’s the pianist?”

“It must be a master; we should ask her to continue playing.”

As the audience emerged from their reverie, they began discussing animatedly.

“I know who it is,” Coco exclaimed, flashing a charming smile.

“Oh, Young Master Ding Ding, who is it?” The crowd looked at the cute and playful little guy, asking with amused smiles.

“It’s my therapist, Miss Shen Ning,” Coco picked up the microphone, his voice sweet and soft, as he loudly replied, “She’s beautiful, gentle, kind-hearted, talented, and amazing.”

“Really? Can you please ask her to continue playing then?” The crowd was charmed by Coco and asked in unison, with smiles on their faces.

Coco raised his innocent little face proudly and said, “That depends on her mood. After all, this is such a challenging piece that not everyone can perform. If you want to hear more, you’ll have to go to the theater and make a reservation.”

“So, Young Master Ding Ding’s psychology teacher is so talented. Can you go and persuade her to continue playing for us?” The crowd teased him.

Coco replied seriously, “A gentleman has choices, I can’t force anyone to do something against their will.”

“Haha,” the crowd burst into laughter, thoroughly entertained. “Young Master Ding Ding is truly adorable.”

At that moment, Li Zhenting walked through the crowd, his face grim, emanating an unsettling chill. The atmosphere grew heavy, and everyone stopped laughing..
