Ning Meng was touched seeing the performance and could not contain her excitement, needing to share it with somebody . Since Li Haojie was sat by her right side, she could only turn to her left .
She grabbed Huo Beichen’s arm and proudly exclaimed . “Hehehe, Zhen Shanmei is amazing!! How did she manage to be right on the beat when she had no in-ear monitors on at all? And how is she always so rough when she speaks but her voice is so melodious when she sings? D*mn it, I’ve just become a big fan of hers!”
After she said this, she felt that something was amiss . Huo Beichen’s face was tense and she could tell that there was an intense restlessness when she looked at his trembling eyebrows . He was trying very hard to suppress something . Ning Meng turned toward his arm that she was holding onto . His well-ironed sleeve had been crushed and creased by the friction of her grasp .
Ning Meng quickly patted his sleeve and stretched it back into shape . She had long forgotten about him cheating on her . She smiled in embarrassment and politeness .
“Lord Chen, your suit is truly exquisite . Look at the craftsmanship, look at the quality . And yet, it can only bring out a tenth of your true nature . You are too captivating . ”

After rainbow-farting, she blinked . “Do you know who I am?”
“Who?”
Ning Meng seriously replied . “I’m captivating too . ”
As she was saying this, the senior on the other side was furrowing his eyebrows and thought out loud . “Why does she remind me of Mo Nasha?”
‘Mo Nasha?’
Li Haojie held his chin in thought .
‘Mo Nasha was an internationally-renowned artist . She was famous ten years ago both locally and worldwide although she was not one who would sing trendy songs . So, the crowd in the arena would not know about her reputation . However, as an artist, who would not know a big name like Mo Nasha? She was at the top of her game in the singing world . Even the hottest artist would need to give respect and call her a teacher . ’
‘What could Zhen Shanmei’s relationship with Mo Nasha be? How was it possible that Zhen Shanmei could sing this well?’
Li Haojie looked toward the stage again . Zhen Shanmei stood there brimming with confidence . She and Lin Qingbei waved toward the crowd and bowed to thank the hardworking musicians, then joyfully left the stage . It was as if Li Haojie was under a spell and his eyes were fixated on her . He looked at her going toward the audience instead of heading toward the resting room .
The lights fell on her graceful face and she looked like an elegant princess . He felt that he was out of her league—that he could only observe her from afar but could not get close to her . Li Haojie straightened his back thinking that she was coming over to show off to him .
He never imagined that Zhen Shanmei would go to hug Ning Meng instead and turned toward the senior . “Thank you . ”
The senior quickly waved . “Don’t worry about it, Miss Zhen . Can I ask you a question, though?”
Li Haojie saw Zhen Shanmei smiling back at the senior, her eyes were completely devoid of him . She respectfully replied, “Yes . ”
“Do you by any chance know who Mo Nasha is?”
Li Haojie pricked up his ears upon hearing this . He felt that this was a stupid question . Mo Nasha had left the business during the prime of her career . It had been ten years since then and there were hardly any conversations about her anymore . Any artist who was fortunate enough to be mentored by her was proud of the opportunity given . Even he had been longing for the day where he could meet this prominent musician . Zhen Shanmei may be rich, but money could not buy relationships with an artist of this caliber .
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhen Shanmei reply with a smile on her face . “She’s my mum . ”
