Chapter 223: Sound of Dawn (Part 3)

1An Jiaying wasn't as enthusiastic. She didn't know why, but there was something about Sound of Dawn that didn't sat well with An Jiaying's mind. 3

She felt deadly eyes on her as Sound of Dawn sang. The music was suppose to make her comfortable, but she only felt dread creep up to her skin.

When An Jiaying was searching for the source, her eyes accidentally met the eyes of the woman playing the guzheng.

Sound of Dawn's cold eyes were onto her the whole time.

"My, that was a wonderful performance, Sound of Dawn." The woman in red joined Sound of Dawn in the stage. "Tell me the truth, is the song based on real life experience?"

Sound of Dawn chuckled lightly. "It's the story of my good friend." She admitted. "A real tragic story but with a somewhat happy ending."

"I see." The woman in red solemnly nodded. "Well, Zhu Dinghong Pavilion is really thankful for your presence."

"It's a pleasure." Sound of Dawn offered a cheeky smile. The woman in red tipped her head and winked at her.

Sound of Dawn gave her a knowing nod.

"Well then, onwards to the real main event!" The lights flickered off, illuminating only the woman in red.

"A generous offer have been placed in the plate! The last item to be sold by Zhu Dinghong Pavilion is brought to you by non other than Sound of Dawn!" Red lips curled into a mischievous smile. The woman in red hovered a hand towards Sound of Dawn's face.

"The last item will be..." Drum rolls protruded from the speakers.

"Sound of Dawn's mask!"

"Are you two presentable now? Can I come in without being mentally abuse?" This time, Lan Wu Cheng knocked. He refused to come in without hearing the couple from the other side's approval.

Behind him was Song Mo Kun who was looking at him as if he was crazy.

What made this guy so cautious?

"Come in." Hearing Lillie's ensuring answer, Lan Wu Cheng made sure to carefully opened the door. His head sticked out first to peek before fully entering.

"Whew, I thought my innocent eyes would witness another scandal." He sighed in relief.

Lillie raised her eyebrow. "Ah, so it was you."

"So what if it was me!" Lan Wu Cheng exclaimed. "My mental health was in a critical condition after I witnessed...that!"

Ethan scoffed. "Learn how to knock next time."

"Y-you!" Lan Wu Cheng's face turned red from anger and embarrassment. "How dare you taint my boss with your grimy hands, you...you villain!" He pointed.

Villain?

Ethan shook his head at Lan Wu Cheng's poor choice of insult.

Lan Wu Cheng's finger shook when he saw the expression Ethan made. He was aware of his lame insult.

He panicked, alright!

Lan Wu Cheng will make sure to show him his arsenal of insults once he get his cool.

And also a bit of loving from his lovely Lingling.

Speaking of An Xiuling.

"Hey boss, just now..." Before coming here, Lan Wu Cheng heard MC's announcement.

So that's her entrance.

Lillie understood what Lan Wu Cheng meant and nodded in confirmation.

"It's time we join them." Lillie downed the rest of her wine and stood up from her seat. Ethan followed, offering his arm for Lillie to hold.

"The night is still young. Those who have wronged me will not escape my enmity." Red flickered in her eyes for a slit moment.

"Let's go."

The three men in the room all have the same thing in mind as they left the loge to join in the fun.

"Here comes the phoenix."
