Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories Chapter 482 - Master’s One Man Show

Chapter 482: Master’s One Man Show

The people around were staring at Shen Qianshu and Lu Mengxi. They whispered to one another, and some people wanted to go over and listen to their conversation, but they did not dare to do so openly.

To them, this was their chance to watch the ‘show.’

It was Ye Family’s ideal granddaughter-in-law vs. Ye Ling’s ideal wife.

The two of them were equally talented and popular.

The problem was who the winner would be.

Most of the people here were standing on Lu Mengxi’s side.

Suddenly, the graceful sound of the piano was heard. The entire place went silent.

On the mini stage, there was a black piano, and Ye Ling sat before it, playing a tune. This was the opening tune for the New Year’s Dinner. Ye Yifan had always been the one playing the tune, and this was the first time Ye Ling played on the mini stage.

His pure black suit wrapped his long, lean body, which was cold and steady. The white camellia on his collar blended the coolness and strictness of him. The beautiful piano music washed away his arrogance. He was like a good boy, a fine young gentleman playing the tune for his beloved girl.

When the tune came out, Shen Qianshu’s eyes widened.

Ballade pour Adeline.

When Shen Qianshu was very young, she had already reached the tenth level for piano. The Shen Family spent a lot to raise her well. She began practicing piano since she was four years old, and she was very good at it. She had many hobbies such as drawing, calligraphy, piano, and drumming. In her childhood days, she would be forced to learn them even though she was playful and a troublemaker. She always learned the things that she took seriously very well.

After she turned fifteen, she rarely touched the piano. When Shen Lin just returned, she tried to maintain her habit of practicing on the piano for an hour a day, but seeing the envious looks from Shen Lin, she felt guilty for some reason and stopped practicing. Fang Xia invited a pianist to teach Shen Lin. Whenever Qianshu wanted to play the piano, Shen Lin would say that she was showing off. Over time, she stopped. This continued all the way until she went to Paris, where she came into contact with the piano again at the castle.

Ye Ling rarely slept, and his head always hurt. He was always in a bad mood, and she could not find a better way to soothe his headache. However, there happened to be a piano on the ground floor, so she played it.

He was a person who was hard to please. He liked to demand her to play complicated tunes to make things difficult for her intentionally. Sometimes, she played the piano for over four hours, and her back and fingers would ache. After they became more familiar with one another, she began playing the tunes that she liked.

Ballade pour Adeline.

Those were the good times.

Ye Ling would often lie down on the sofa while she sat beside the bed and played the piano. The sun shone on him through the white curtains. Those were the rare times of peacefulness. She used the opportunity to look at him openly and to admire him whenever she played the piano. She felt happy from it.

Music was the food of the soul. When it came to someone one admired, it could convey all their love for that person. The notes under one’s fingertips hopped around with their feelings. As Shen Qianshu was playing, she was afraid that Ye Ling could sense what she felt. However, Ye Ling never said anything, and she was disappointed that he could not tell.

Adelina was from Greek mythology. There was a beautiful legend in Greek mythology. A long time ago, there was a lonely King of Cyprus named Pygmalion. He sculpted a beautiful girl, and he looked at her every day. Then, he fell in love with the statue of the girl. He prayed to the G.o.ds and looked forward to the miracle of love. His sincerity and perseverance touched the G.o.d Aphrodite, who then gave the sculpture life. Since then, the lucky king lived with the beautiful girl, and they lived happily ever after.

She thought that Ye Ling did not understand the meaning behind the piece, and she told him that the composer was inspired by a story in Greek mythology.

She thought that Ye Ling did not know music.

However, in the end, it turned out that… he was really good at playing the piano.
