“This is Ms. Rong Rong, and this is Nan Chen.” Ning Ran still went ahead with the introduction.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Nan. Actually, would you prefer if I call you Sir Chen? I heard you like it when others refer to you by that title.” Rong Rong's brother smiled as he stretched his hand out.

“I'm fine with either.” Nan Chen shook his hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Rong Yi. I've attended one of your recitals before overseas.”

“Is that so? Thank you for your support, then.”

Ning Ran had heard of the name Rong Yi before. I think I saw him on the television, too. No wonder he looks familiar. He's one of Asia's young and very talented pianists who won countless international awards. Additionally, he even attended a United Nations conference as a representative of China's distinguished youth. He's so well known that not even an average celebrity can be compared to him.

“So, you're the pianist, Mr. Rong. No wonder you look so refined,” she commented.

“Thanks for your compliments. You're very pretty, Ms. Ning. I've watched your movies before.” A pleasant smile returned to Rong Yi's face.

She liked seeing him smile because it felt very amicable to her. Crap, am I swooning over him? Why do I feel this way?

The restaurant wasn't big at all. It was also pretty quiet, likely because the whole building had been booked.

When they all sat at a table, Ning Ran stared at Rong Yi a couple more times. The more she did, the more she took a liking to him.

She didn't simply like him. It was something different, more profound. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as admiration.

It was then Lu Jingyuan arrived. The restaurant became livelier after the three women reunited.

Since there was still time before the dishes were served, the three of them started chatting. As for Nan Chen and Rong Yi, since they weren't familiar with each other, they barely exchanged a word.

“How about we go out for a walk?” Nan Chen suggested on his own accord.

Glancing at Nan Chen's leg, Rong Yi asked, “Are you going to be okay?”

“I'm fine. It's just a temporary injury. I can still move.”

After the two men left, the women exchanged glances with each other.

“I didn't know your brother's a famous pianist. Why did you never mention it before?” Ning Ran asked excitedly.

“You didn't ask. Besides, my brother doesn't like it when I mention his name. He said he's not a musician, just a guy whose one of his hobbies is playing the piano,” Rong Rong answered.

“Your brother's a very likable person, Rong Rong. He's also very gentlemanly,” Lu Jingyuan commented.
