Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Proposal 8_1
As she spoke, Mrs. Shen cast a kind gaze in particular towards the people below the stage.
She then continued: “Because before the state banquet started, a young man told me that he wants to propose to a girl he loves, and he hopes to do so here, by dedicating a song to his girl. Every act at the state banquet is time-limited, and though I don’t have the authority to disrupt the overall timing of the event, I agreed to his request due to his persistent sincerity. Please don’t mind.”
Upon hearing this, everyone directed their gazes towards Harry Perry, presuming that Mrs. Shen was referring to him, am I right?
“We don’t mind at all, not at all,” someone said, their voice filled with admiration.
“Mrs. Shen, your performance was phenomenal. I wouldn’t mind even if you performed it all over again, it was far better than those young pop stars singing. Please, another round. After that young man you mentioned completes his song dedication, would you allow me to dedicate a song too? I’d love to hear a live loop of the track.”
The reactions from the guests at the state banquet were filled with delight. Many of the women in the crowd cast envious looks towards Xia Yanyan.
All of a sudden, Xia Yanyan was ecstatic. She hadn’t expected Harry Perry to have prepared a special gift for her, having so many musicians on stage play a song just for her. She turned to him, her eyes full of joy.
“Han Sen, thank you for the surprise, I love it.”
Harry Perry was taken aback, he didn’t recall asking Mrs. Shen to have Xia Yanyan play a song. Could it be that someone else was planning to propose tonight as well?
Harry Perry furrowed his brow, honestly saying: “Yanyan, it wasn’t me.”
“What?” Xia Yanyan’s joy quickly turned into embarrassment: “If it wasn’t you who dedicated it for me, then who was it?”
“The song might not be dedicated to you.” He felt it necessary to pour some cold water on her excitement, lest she get too carried away.
He had found that his beloved little national treasure was indeed very narcissistic. However, being adored by a nation from a young age, it was not surprising that she had a bit of a self-centric attitude, yet this wasn’t an unbearable flaw. After all, she was a unique beauty in a world of her own.
“What?” If it’s not dedicated to her, then who is it dedicated to?
Xia Yanyan ruminated over Harry Perry’s words, realizing she might be overreacting, downplayed her joy reluctantly, then whispered to him: “Han Sen, don’t be shy, I know it must be you wanting to give me a surprise.”
Harry Perry coughed lightly, his face noticeably serious: “I swear it’s not me.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yanyan’s clenched her fingers, she was meant to be the only one proposed to tonight. Who else dared to steal her thunder, even having so many famous musicians perform for them?
There were those at the banquet with sharp ears. Upon hearing Harry Perry’s words, speculation started. If it wasn’t him, then who was it?
The speculation spread rapidly, from person to person, and it quickly became common knowledge; that it wasn’t Harry Perry who had dedicated the song to Xia Yanyan. The question then was, who had dedicated it to who?
All the unmarried ladies at the scene with boyfriends couldn’t help but wonder. Could it be me?
Even Ye Xingguang, upon hearing that it wasn’t Harry Perry making the dedication to Xia Yanyan, suddenly became interested. His good-looking eyes roamed around the room, wondering who the lucky person would be to receive a proposal at the state banquet tonight?
Ye Xingguang also whispered to Ye Junqing: “Do you know who it is?”
“I don’t know.” Ye Junqing was idly enjoying the food that she had served into his bowl. It was obviously the same dish, but somehow, it tasted a lot better when she served it?
