Chapter 501: Procuring Song and Choreography

Once the night practice was over, Su Ruowan sneaked into Su Muyan’s room.

Su Muyan often sought unknown music producers from abroad for songs and bought off the music rights after he picked a tune he liked. Normally, a song would be selected before the lyrics were added by a hired composer or the singer themselves. The same goes with the choreography. The singer was free to hire a choreographer too.

Some of Su Muyan’s songs were bought but the lyrics were filled in by himself. It was easy with the foreign musicians as there was a chance local ghostwriters would blackmail and expose him, putting his career at risk.

“Muyan.” Su Ruowan entered the room in suspense. She cautiously asked him, “Have you gotten it?”

Speaking from personal experience, Su Muyan tried to ease her tension. “Stuff we bought is ours to keep. Don’t be scared. Nothing bad’s going to happen.”

“Okay.” Su Ruowan may appear ridden with guilt and worry, but scared? As if. Nevertheless, she still acted scared in front of Su Muyan.

“Oh, you. Take it easy or people will see through you.” Su Muyan grinned.

Wanwan was too kind and timid. The song was theirs since they bought it with their money, so there was no need to feel guilty and burdened. Su Muyan went to check on the downloading progress. It was completed.

Su Ruowan nodded and took great courage in replying, “Muyan, I got it. The whole thing is my fault. I shouldn’t have acted on impulse and agreed to it.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Su Muyan was on her side. Following a sudden thought, murderous intent became visible in his eyes. He inquired, “Are you still hanging with He Lu?”

That woman was no angel with all that mind games and dirty tricks. She played a part in pushing Wanwan to perform her own original on stage and even made Wanwan look bad this morning.

“Lulu didn’t mean to.” Su Ruowan weakly defended He Lu.

Of course, she knew better than to hang out with He Lu, but there was no turning back for her now. She had no choice but to dance around He Lu since they were supposedly tight.

“People never repay you with kindness. When will you change that character of yours?” Su Muyan sighed and helplessly shook his head. This was no time to make a fuss over it. He urged her, “You better watch your back.”

Wanwan had always been a bleeding heart, and this was the case with Shen Xi and He Lu. If it were someone else in Wanwan’s position, the person would have despised Shen Xi and He Lu for their doings!

“Got it.” Su Ruowan added. “Lulu is just frank and not mean at heart.”

Su Muyan laughed in rage. “More like a snake in the grass. You’re naïve to tell her everything. Keep her at arm’s length. You’re competitors at the end of the day. How many times do I have to tell you this?”

Su Ruowan bit her lip. “I’m sorry, Muyan. I’ve disappointed you.”

Looking at her dejected face, Su Muyan did not have the heart to lecture Su Ruowan. Perhaps it was a good thing that Wanwan was innocent and kind, he could just take the burden off of her and stand by her.

A kind heart was better than having none like Shen Xi, that brat. The thought of Shen Xi sent Su Muyan in a fit of rage.

Su Ruowan sensibly followed behind Su Muyan as he tapped a folder on the desktop and a music file inside. Music began to play.
