Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

364-366

Chapter 364: Only Ten Of Our Men

The man who came upstairs to look for them was Zhuge Yan. Gu Xiqiao shot him a glance before slapping her forehead out of embarrassment. “Are you misusing your abilities again?”

Ever since Zhuge Yan was handed over to the laboratory to deal with his blood congestion, he more or less seemed to have recovered from his ailment. No more was he controlled by the heavens, which meant that he could use his linguistic skills without any limitations. There were already quite a number of people from the ancient martial arts world who had fallen prey to him.

“What do you mean by that? I just wanted to remind you that we have an entire hall of people waiting for you guys.” Zhuge Yan on the other hand was fairly calm. He stood there, with one hand in his pocket and with a warm smile on his face.

Jiang Shuxuan looked up at him with a pair of narrowed eyes.

However, that did not seem to affect Zhuge Yan. He merely greeted Jiang Shuxuan’s coldness with a friendly smile. He did not mind the sudden drop in air pressure whatsoever.

Gu Xiqiao, who was standing right next to him, patted Jiang Shuxuan’s hand. Although he was reluctant to do so, in the end, he had no other choice but to put his hand, which was holding Gu Xiqiao’s, down. He stole one final glance at Zhuge Yan before the two of them descended the stairs.

Downstairs, Ning Qing and Wu Hongwen were singing in a duet, the popular love song—”Love You Very Much[1]”.

Ning Qing’s voice was soft, which came as no surprise considering how talented she was in the entertainment industry. She was great at acting but equally good at singing as well. The way she sang sounded almost as if she was speaking in a whole other dialect. Wu Hongwen’s voice on the other hand, sounded clear as crystal. Although he had never received singing classes, nor was he taught any vocal skills, the amount of emotion he put into the song made up for the shortcomings. When viewed as a pair, he did not in any way, pale in comparison to his duet partner.

While holding their wine glasses, Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan visited every table for a toast. Their American guests hastily got up from their seats when Gu Xiqiao approached their table. A blonde young boy was so mesmerized by Gu Xiqiao that his face was flushed red.

“Miss Gu, may I…”

“No, you may not!” interrupted Jiang Shuxuan.

Jiang Shuxuan looked at them emotionlessly one last time before he led Gu Xiqiao to the next table.

Xiao Yun, who oversaw the exchange couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

On the stage, Ning Qing and Wu Hongwen’s duet had already come to an end, followed by the thunderous sound of clapping coming from the audience.

“I never thought Little Wu could sing so well!” said Yao Jiamu as he rubbed his chin. He turned towards the people he shared the table with. “I thought brute strength was all he had.”

“That person would be you,” replied Yin Shaoyuan as he squeezed into a seat at their table. His eyes were fixated on the pair that were standing on the stage. “At the very least, he’s someone who has managed to get accepted into B University.”

“I would’ve forgotten about it had you not said this,” responded Yao Jiamu. “B University, you could give me eight lives and I’d still struggle to get accepted into such a prestigious institution.”

“We made you study didn’t we?” asked Luo Wenlin, who sat next to Luo Wenlang. He then let out a helpless sigh. “Brother Yao, what would you do if Sister Gu is no longer here?”
