Chapter 661 I Hope So Too

“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.

Ran replied, “Your brother’s right to worry about you. It really isn’t safe for a girl like you to sing in a bar alone. Besides, your

bills will choose to sing at a bar. Why do you want to stay here?” Lu Jingyuan was of the same opinion as Ning

I just like singing! I also like a small city like this and the slow-paced life here. Yeah, there are thugs here, but what city doesn’t have thugs? What bar doesn’t have any unsavory people visiting it? What’s so bad about staying at a place like that, anyway? I get to meet different people from all walks of life.
