The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 420
Chapter 420: Unexpected Changes
Upon hearing what Jiang Xuecheng said, Su Wan’s bright almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened.
He said he wanted to play a piece with her?
The other guests attending the birthday banquet were even more surprised and delighted. Heavens, who would have thought that they would be able to hear the young master’s personal interpretation of music in their lifetime?
Before Su Wan could react, she saw the staff bringing in the musical instrument. Other than the Fengqiwu that had been prepared earlier, there was also a white jade vertical flute!
Su Wan was stunned. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng in confusion and asked softly.
“Xuecheng, when did you bring that white jade vertical flute?”
Could it be that Jiang Xuecheng had already expected Sheng An’ning to do something like this? That was impossible!
Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly and calmly took Su Wan’s arm. He whispered into her ear, “I wanted to play that birthday song with you, but it’s not bad to change it to ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’.”
When the deep, cello-like male voice entered her ears, Su Wan felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
Jiang Xuecheng had originally planned to play ‘Happy Birthday To You’ with her?
She had never heard Jiang Xuecheng play this song in Fontainebleau. She did not expect him to make such preparations without saying a word!
Su Wan had just learned the Guqin, and her skill in playing it could not be considered superb. The ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ that she had played with Jiang Xuecheng on the day of the wedding photo shoot had gradually improved because of his guidance.
Su Wan’s heart was warmed. She knew that Jiang Xuecheng was trying to help her, so the curve of her lips could not help but deepen.
Jiang Xuecheng held Su Wan’s hand. The two of them walked calmly to the stage together.
Su Wan slowly sat down. She placed her ten fingers on the strings of the Guqin and glanced at Jiang Xuecheng with a smile, indicating for him to start playing.
A trace of a light smile flashed across Jiang Xuecheng’s long and narrow eyes. He pulled back his eyebrows and stretched out his well-defined fingers, pressing down on the hole in the white jade flute.
In an instant, the faint sound of a flute floated leisurely into the hall.
The melody of the Tune of a Peaceful Night was fresh and quiet. It seemed to be suitable for such a grand birthday banquet.
Su Wan followed the sound of Jiang Xuecheng’s flute and plucked the strings with her bare hands. The sound of the strings and the sound of the flute resonated together.
There were still people whispering around, but now, they could not help but stop talking and listen to the music that lingered in their ears.
All the guests stared at the two people on the stage without blinking. They secretly sighed to themselves that the young master and young madam were really a good match. Was this the so-called perfect match?
Since the last time they played ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ together in the bamboo forest and by the seaside, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng’s third collaboration was even smoother and more beautiful.
Su Wan was dressed in a beautiful cheongsam. She lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. Her delicate and fair fingers were moving across the strings, plucking and sliding up and down, making her look like a character from a movie.
She was too beautiful…
The people present looked at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. When they saw the scene of the two playing together, they could not help but breathe softly, as if they were afraid of disturbing this beautiful couple.
Su Wan’s grandmother, Lin Xuan, was leaning against Xie Changfeng. When she saw Su Wan playing, she suddenly thought of her little daughter—Xie Lan.
Su Wan looked like her mother, especially her side face and facial contour…
When Xie Lan was still alive, she always wanted Su Wan to learn the Guqin, but Su Wan never learned it. Now that Xie Lan was gone, Su Wan had learned how to play the Guqin.
She didn’t know if her daughter, who was far away in heaven, would smile when she saw this scene?
Lin Xuan’s emotions were in turmoil, and tears appeared in her eyes. She murmured in a low voice, “Wan looks like Lan Lan when she plays the Guqin.”
When Xie Changfeng saw her like this, he pulled Lin Xuan into his arms.
“Lan Lan will definitely be very happy when she sees this.”
Xie Changfeng held Lin Xuan’s shoulders as he reached out to wipe away Lin Xuan’s tears.
When he saw Su Wan playing the Guqin on the stage, how could he not have thought of his own daughter who had died young? Out of so many children, he had always favored Xie Lan. What a pity…
She was already dead, so he could only miss her.
Xie Changfeng sighed in his heart and gently wiped away the tears on Lin Xuan’s face.
“Alright, let’s quietly watch our granddaughter and grandson-in-law play together. On such a good day, we should smile more.”
Lin Xuan nodded silently. She opened her foggy eyes and looked at the couple on the stage.
The gentle sound of the Guqin and the clear sound of the flute echoed through the magnificent hall.
At some point in time, the song came to an end.
When the last note was played, Jiang Zhiyuan took the lead and clapped. “Good!”
The word “good” was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Soon, warm applause rose and fell like thunder.
“The Guqin was well played! The vertical flute was well played too!”
“Young master and Miss Su are really a good match!”
“Chief Jiang is really lucky to have such a pair of grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Everyone is envious!”
Master Jiang looked at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law on the stage with a smile, then glanced at the envious crowd beside him. He could not help but feel a sense of relief.
It wasn’t bad. Ever since Jiang Xuecheng married Su Wan, his eldest grandson did not seem to be as perverse as before.
He did not expect to hear him offer to play a song for him at the birthday banquet. He was so happy!
Sheng An’ning, who had been standing by the side, was in shock when Jiang Xuecheng said he was going to play together with Su Wan. Jiang Xuecheng actually knew how to play the vertical flute?
She had never known that!
Who had ever seen Jiang Xuecheng play in front of others? But today, for the sake of Su Wan, he actually went on stage for the first time ever…
Sheng An’ning gritted her teeth and heard the comments of the guests about Su Wan from time to time…
Not only was Su Wan not as embarrassed as she had thought, she even took advantage of the limelight on Jiang Xuecheng to receive praise from everyone!
What kind of bewitching potion did Su Wan use to make brother Xuecheng fall head over heels for her!
Strong jealousy and anger invaded Sheng An’ning. It was as if a fire was ignited in her heart that was about to burn her rationality to the ground.
Sheng An’ning bit her lips hard. A cold glint flashed across her beautiful eyes. Her beautiful face seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud.
Sheng An’ning didn’t know if she was too angry, but her breathing became more and more rapid. Her beautiful face began to twist slightly.
It was so uncomfortable…
Sheng An’ning’s willow-like eyebrows suddenly furrowed. She reached out her hand and rubbed her forehead. She felt that she couldn’t stand properly.
“An’ning, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Haoxuan had been standing next to Sheng An’ning the whole time. When he saw that her face was so pale that there was no color on it, he was immediately shocked.
“Haoxuan, I can’t stand anymore. Hold on to me for a while…”
Sheng An’ning’s body was weak to begin with, and since she cut her wrist, her body had become even worse.
Jiang Haoxuan frowned and didn’t think any longer. He immediately reached out to hold her.
However, just as Jiang Haoxuan reached out, Sheng An’ning suddenly fell to the ground.
Jiang Haoxuan’s expression changed. He was about to pull Sheng An’ning back, but it might be because he brought someone with him that suddenly, he felt his legs giving way and he almost fell to the ground.
His consciousness started to fade…
