For this party, Guan Shimeng had put in so much effort, which Xu Fan had witnessed firsthand.

He definitely couldn't, because of himself, let her miss this opportunity.

Besides, he also wanted to see exactly what Ke Longxiang was up to by showing up here—what kind of scheme was hiding in his gourd.

Clap, clap, clap.

At this moment, Ke Longxiang's piano piece came to a complete end, and a group of beautiful female hosts gathered around the stage started clapping furiously.

"Ke Shao, you're so handsome!"

"You're literally my idol."

To say that they were fawning over him seemed to be an understatement at this point.

However, their attitudes were not difficult to understand.

After all, Ke Longxiang was young and rich, and under that head of golden hair was a face that could be called handsome; even without any effort, many women would be eager to ******** for a long time without playing, and it had become rusty."

Ke Longxiang did not hesitate at all to accept the flattery from the crowd below the stage.

After all, his piano skills were inherited from an international music master, and these praises were not at all excessive.

After chatting with a few female hosts who intentionally flaunted their charm, Ke Longxiang's gaze "inadvertently" moved toward Xu Fan at the entrance.

"Xu Fan, we meet again."

As if the incident that had just happened in the military area was completely forgotten, Ke Longxiang greeted Xu Fan with a friendly face at this moment.

"Heh heh."

Xu Fan chuckled and calmly led Guan Shimeng to greet him.

"Ke Dashaoye, also thinking of making an appearance at this party?"

"Heh heh, I have the capital, what's wrong with showing my face?"

"That's right, not like certain nouveaux riches, who only have some spare money and show off online, unlike Ke Shao, right?"

Before Ke Longxiang could respond, two sarcastic voices chimed in from the crowd of female hosts.

It was not difficult to recognize these two—they were the infamous latter two of Douyu's Three Saos.

They always had a good relationship with the head of the Three Saos; ever since the head was kicked out of Douyu because of Xu Fan, they had harbored resentment.

Now they seized the opportunity to speak their mind.

"What kind of language is that!"

Miaomiao had never gotten along with them, and when she heard them speaking ill of Xu Fan, she immediately wanted to defend him.

Before Miaomiao could say more, Xu Fan reached out to block her.

Without Ke Longxiang's backing, would these two women dare to speak to him like that?

Man does not fight with dogs; Xu Fan simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention at this moment, which infuriated the two women.

"Oh, right, Shimeng, I just heard them say that your performance is a dance?"

"How about I accompany you on the piano?"

At this time, Ke Longxiang walked over to the stage's piano and directly invited Guan Shimeng.

Guan Shimeng's preparation indeed involved song and dance, and upon hearing Ke Longxiang's invitation, the two from the Three Saos spoke up once more.

"Eh, that would be great, Ke Shao paired with Shimeng is truly a match of gifted man and beautiful woman."

"Absolutely, I'm super envious."

"Shimeng, Ke Shao is a shareholder of Douyu, you can't tell me you're planning to refuse."

Their attitudes were clear; now they were bent on annoying Xu Fan.

They all knew about the ambiguous relationship between Xu Fan and Guan Shimeng, but now, if Ke Longxiang could steal her away, that would be interesting.

"..."

Indeed, the scene he had been worried about was unfolding.

If he didn't agree now, he would surely offend Ke Longxiang.

But to agree would be to make Xu Fan lose face.

Indeed, she had once held countless expectations for this party, hoping to make a stunning impression.

But if the premise of such a result is that it makes Xu Fan lose face…

Guan Shimeng would rather give up this opportunity.

Opportunities will surely come again in the future, but the person before her, there's only one of him in this lifetime.

"I say, Shimeng, what's there for you to hesitate about?"

"Exactly, don't you know how to be a decent person? Do you really want Xu Fan to accompany you?"

"That bumpkin, can he even play the piano?"

At this moment, the two jesters from Douyu started mouthing off again.

Guan Shimeng, who was always amiable, now seemed to have a rather displeased look on her face.

However, before she could speak, Xu Fan took hold of her hand and gave her a look.

"Silly girl, since Master Ke wants to accompany you, we should give him some face,"

"After all, playing the piano is his forte."

"Hmm?"

Ke Longxiang, who had already taken his place at the piano, frowned slightly as he watched Xu Fan leading Guan Shimeng towards the stage, clearly puzzled.

Could it be that this guy was so magnanimous to the point of giving up his own woman?

Isn't that just a born cuckold?

Watching Xu Fan gracefully leading Guan Shimeng onto the stage, Ke Longxiang couldn't help but sneer to himself.

If he didn't mind, then there was no harm in spreading the word a bit when the time came.

Someday, he'd let a few hundred thousand people crown him with a green hat and see just how magnanimous he really was.

"G major minuet, I trust that's not beyond you, Master Ke?"

Now that Xu Fan had led Guan Shimeng onto the stage, he asked with a smile.

Guan Shimeng was taken aback. Why did Xu Fan mention this particular piece?

He should know that the piece she prepared was not this one...

Although she was somewhat puzzled, Guan Shimeng did not speak out.

"Heh, Xu Fan, don't you worry, there is nothing you can name that I can't play,"

Ke Longxiang seemed determined to show off his skills. As Xu Fan named the piece, he placed his fingers on the keys and began to play.

"Wow, Master Ke plays so beautifully!"

"I'm so envious of Shimeng to have a male god like Master Ke to accompany her; it's truly a match of talent and beauty."

The trio from Douyu, down below, set fire to the conversation once again.

Guan Shimeng stood next to Xu Fan with a look of sadness, squeezing the hand that he held tightly.

She knew that Xu Fan was sacrificing his pride for her sake.

But how could she bear it…

Rather than this, she would prefer to give up!

The G major minuet had already started to resonate under Ke Longxiang's nimble fingers, and instantly the atmosphere in the hall turned a bit romantic.

Seemingly anticipating the upcoming performance with Guan Shimeng, a smug smile curled on Ke Longxiang's lips.

Looking at Guan Shimeng, her eyes brimming with tears, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Silly girl, if life is a couples' waltz, then, please let me dance with you to the very end."

"What?"

Xu Fan's sudden statement completely petrified the previously smug Ke Longxiang.

Watching Xu Fan lead Guan Shimeng towards the center of the stage, his mind filled with endless question marks.

Was he merely a supporting role, an accompanist?

The piano music became somewhat chaotic, and Xu Fan didn't even glance at Ke Longxiang but simply waved his hand at him.

"Keep playing the piano, take your job seriously."
