Free Web NovelChapter 187: Chapter 169: Is He Secretly Winking at Me?
Yu Lan couldn’t understand where Sheng Yiqing’s sudden, inexplicable pride was coming from.
He was leaning so close that the hot breath from his words brushed against her ear.
It sent a ticklish sensation through her.
Her fair, delicate earlobe instantly flushed crimson, looking like a plump, juicy cherry in springtime, begging to be plucked.
Sheng Yiqing was completely mesmerized.
He wanted to do something but didn’t dare, afraid that Huo Zhanting and the others would rough him up when he got back, leaving him with a pair of black eyes.
This scene happened to catch the eyes of Louisa and Qi Jingshen, who were standing behind them.
"I didn’t expect Lanlan and this Prince Sheng Yiqing to get along so well."
"I’d heard that Lanlan was extremely close with Huo Zhanting and the others, as if she had truly developed feelings for them."
"I was worried that Prince Sheng Yiqing, having married into the family from so far away, wouldn’t be able to fit in."
"But now, it seems I can rest assured."
After speaking, Louisa turned to the tall, imposing man beside her. His eyes held a hint of wild, untamable arrogance:
"But Jingshen, don’t you worry. After we’re married..."
"No matter how many other Beast Husbands I have, you will always be my most beloved main husband."
To win over Qi Jingshen and the power of the Second Legion he commanded...
Louisa and Belina had spared no expense.
The status of a main husband? Granted.
A sensational wedding? Granted.
At the same time, massive amounts of resources and cutting-edge weapons were all transported into the Second Legion’s base.
They vowed to make the Second Legion even more powerful than Huo Zhanting’s First Legion.
Hearing Louisa’s words, Qi Jingshen finally tore his gaze away from Yu Lan.
He let out a noncommittal "mm."
He had been like this for a while now, but Louisa didn’t pay it any mind.
Everyone had their use. As long as Qi Jingshen remained the leader of the Second Legion, his position as main husband would be secure.
As for sweet nothings, there were plenty of other males who could whisper them to her.
The corners of Louisa’s lips curled up slightly. Just then, all the lights in the concert hall suddenly dimmed.
A spotlight hit the center of the stage.
A figure was already standing there quietly.
It was none other than the hottest top-tier superstar in the Cosmic Star era—Yu Wenzhou.
"AH!"
An overwhelming tsunami of tense, excited screams erupted.
As the rhythmic intro music began to play, the concert officially started.
Louisa stopped paying attention to Yu Lan and focused on the stage, beginning to enjoy herself.
So much so that she didn’t notice Qi Jingshen’s gaze wasn’t on the stage, but had instead fallen upon the person she despised most—Yu Lan.
The black-haired, green-eyed man looked at Yu Lan, who was standing in front of them with Sheng Yiqing’s arm around her shoulder, looking incredibly intimate. His eyes suddenly darkened.
A flicker of annoyance and irritation welled up from the depths of his heart.
He’d rarely felt such emotions since his family was destroyed and its members killed.
He lived and clawed his way up for one word, and one word only.
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
Revenge against Belina, against the Royal Family, against the Central Star!
’Why is it that I have these kinds of feelings when it comes to Yu Lan?’
A trace of confusion and bewilderment flashed through Qi Jingshen’s eyes.
When he snapped out of it, it quickly turned into overwhelming hatred.
This scene happened to be seen by Louisa, who had just turned her head. She nodded with a hint of smug satisfaction.
’Not bad. He’s worthy of being my main husband.’
’Starting now, he’s on my side, united in our hatred for Yu Lan.’
Thinking of this, Louisa took out her phone and secretly sent a message to Belina.
Louisa: [Mother, can we give Qi Jingshen a little more authority and funding?]
Since Qi Jingshen also hated Yu Lan, she would naturally spare no effort to help him become more and more powerful.
So that one day in the future, they could ruthlessly crush Yu Lan underfoot.
Little did she know, her actions were only accelerating Qi Jingshen’s journey to becoming the gravedigger of the Royal Family.
At the concert, Yu Lan was completely oblivious to all of this.
Sheng Yiqing, however, vaguely sensed something and glanced up at Louisa and Qi Jingshen.
He didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
’If the enemy makes no move, neither will I.’
’Besides, what could happen in such a public place?’
He turned back and continued to enjoy the concert with Yu Lan.
Just then, the performance reached its climax.
The atmosphere in the venue had been completely whipped up by Yu Wenzhou.
The screams were endless.
Even Yu Lan was caught up in the excitement, her face slightly flushed and her bright eyes fixed on the stage.
Seeing Yu Lan look at another man like that, Sheng Yiqing felt a strange pang of jealousy.
And as for Yu Wenzhou on stage...
Ever since he agreed to cooperate with Belina a while ago, he had already made up his mind.
He knew this would be his last concert.
There would be no next time.
He poured every ounce of his being into his performance, roaring on stage and determined to go out in a blaze of glory.
Amid the shifting lights and shadows...
Yu Wenzhou’s vision blurred, and in a daze, he actually saw Yu Lan appear at his concert.
It was like a scene from a dream.
His heart was pounding violently in his chest, and the intense beat of the music seemed to have stolen his sanity.
As if he’d lost control, he reached out and blew a kiss in Yu Lan’s direction.
He winked.
His clear, magnetic, slightly breathless voice echoed throughout the concert hall.
"Thank you for coming to my concert."
"AHHH!!!"
Immediately followed by the piercing screams of his fans.
"Yu Shen is looking at me! Yu Shen is looking at me!"
"He just blew me a kiss!"
"No, it was for me! He was clearly looking in my direction!"
"Didn’t you see? He even winked at me! Oh my god, my heart is melting~"
The sound of people around them arguing over who Yu Wenzhou had just blown a kiss and winked at was endless.
At the center of the dispute, Yu Lan silently suppressed the thought that had just begun to form in her mind.
’Don’t be narcissistic, don’t be narcissistic.’
’Yu Wenzhou doesn’t even know me. How could that kiss and wink be for me?’
’It’s not like I’m a Star Coin that everyone adores.’
Yu Lan lowered her head and spent a good while convincing herself of this before finally looking up at the stage again.
By now, Yu Wenzhou had switched to a slow, lyrical love song.
Dressed in an elegant white suit, with his white hair and red eyes, he now stood with his eyes slightly closed. Under the lights, he gave off an air of melancholic vulnerability.
The fans in the audience were instantly captivated, howling with delight.
They spontaneously abandoned their arguments and immersed themselves in the love song.
Only Sheng Yiqing, who had a clear third-party view of the whole thing, had an ashen face.
Damn it!
’Shameless male.’
’Winking at the Female Master right in front of me.’
’Does he have any respect for me at all?!’
For the first time, Sheng Yiqing felt a sliver of regret.
’If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought Lanlan to the concert. What if we end up bringing home a Number Eight?’
’Huo Zhanting and Shen Zueran would beat me to death.’
Sheng Yiqing felt both guilty and annoyed, with the nagging feeling that he’d messed things up.
This feeling intensified after the concert ended and Yu Lan, still not having had her fill, spoke up:
"Sheng Yiqing, can we go find Yu Wenzhou and get a signed photo?"
Sheng Yiqing’s vision went black.
His face stiffened as he tried to refuse.
Gone was the magnanimous male he had proclaimed himself to be before the concert began.
