Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1517 - 1491: Flower Guardian
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Lin Shiyin looked toward the dark where Ye Chen was, her expression becoming somewhat surprised.
She could tell that this piano piece was extremely difficult.
No one without long-term practice could possibly achieve this.
Yet Ye Chen, a delivery guy, could not only play it, but play it so well.
The entire performance was flawless.
Even Lin Shiyin found it difficult to achieve.
She was also surprised by Ye Chen’s level of piano playing.
Lin Shiyin had been playing the piano since childhood, and still couldn’t match this.
Ye Chen, a delivery guy, could play so melodiously and accurately; it was truly remarkable.
Lin Shiyin knew Ye Chen could write poetry, and had seen two poems from him that were indeed impressive.
Now seeing Ye Chen could play piano too.
This made Lin Shiyin’s heart flustered, her mouth agape, her face full of astonishment.
Wu Tong, seeing his goddess looking at the darkened figure with such eyes, felt a bit jealous inside.
Knowing Lin Shiyin for so many years, she had never looked at him this way.
He could understand the meaning of that gaze; it was a woman’s gaze of admiration toward a man.
Lin Shiyin was a goddess in many men’s eyes, always high and mighty, never worshipping anyone.
Seeing the scene before him, Wu Tong clenched his fist tightly.
He secretly vowed to make Ye Chen embarrass himself.
The backstage crew and audience were deeply captivated by Ye Chen’s piano music, entranced.
For them, it was simply an indulgence.
Besides Lin Shiyin, backstage crew were still guessing who the piano player was.
With the final note sounded, the audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.
This piano piece, along with the performance of Xie Yingying and others, was truly perfect.
The audience couldn’t even find words to describe the eulogies they’d give this show.
After the performance, Xie Yingying, Liu Tingting, and others excitedly bowed to the audience.
Previously thinking they might embarrass themselves, only to be surprised by the success of the performance.
Xie Yingying was somewhat distracted at this moment, pondering whether Brother Ye Chen saw the performance.
What did he really think of her?
Would he fall in love with her because of this?
During curtain call, Ye Chen didn’t join Xie Yingying and others in the center of the stage.
Instead, he stood up and walked towards the backstage.
Ye Chen never liked being the center of attention, nor did he want anyone to know he played that piano piece.
After Xie Yingying and others thanked the audience, they also prepared to head backstage.
Ye Chen needed to leave before them to avoid being discovered.
Just as he was walking to the backstage, he bumped into Lin Shiyin.
He only glanced at Lin Shiyin and nodded.
Ye Chen’s response surprised Lin Shiyin.
She thought Ye Chen might seize the moment to strike up a conversation with her, but he merely glanced and intended to pass by.
This felt somewhat uncomfortable for Lin Shiyin.
Any man who had seen her beauty would become infatuated.
Yet, Ye Chen treated her as if she were air.
Lin Shiyin’s interest in this man grew even stronger.
Seeing Ye Chen about to leave, Lin Shiyin smiled, extending her hand and said.
"Sir, please stay. Can we get acquainted?"
Ye Chen was taken aback, but he paused without speaking.
"Hello, I’m Lin Shiyin. Pleased to meet you. I listened to your piano performance just now, it was truly excellent. Even I, as a professional, feel inferior."
Every word Lin Shiyin spoke was heartfelt, with no trace of flattery.
She indeed witnessed Ye Chen’s skill firsthand.
To play that piece in such a dark environment was something she herself couldn’t do.
Primarily, the piece was difficult to memorize, and she believed in that dim setting, Ye Chen played from sheer memory.
This was something Lin Shiyin accepted as being beyond her.
Ye Chen had amazed her greatly.
Initially, when Zhang Ming told her to find this person who turned out to be a delivery guy, she was somewhat dismissive of Ye Chen.
However, seeing Ye Chen’s performance had truly shocked her.
"Oh, hello, I’m Ye Chen," Ye Chen extended his hand calmly.
Initially, he didn’t want to respond to Lin Shiyin, but being that she was a girl and so proactive.
As a man, Ye Chen felt awkward to ignore her.
However, now Xie Yingying and others were approaching, Ye Chen certainly wished to avoid them.
His expression turned anxious, wanting to leave quickly.
"Ye Chen, you don’t look like a student of this university, do you?" Lin Shiyin asked smiling.
Ye Chen simply nodded lightly, his mind not focused here.
He now thought about returning backstage and pretending to wait for Xie Yingying and others.
Seeing Ye Chen’s indifference, Lin Shiyin felt slightly awkward but didn’t show any anger.
This was her first time proactively speaking to a guy, only for him to act disinterested toward her.
But the more Ye Chen acted this way, the more Lin Shiyin wanted to understand him better, even become friends.
Yet Wu Tong beside them couldn’t contain his inner frustration.
Seeing his goddess proactively speaking to a delivery guy filled him with jealousy.
Now watching Ye Chen’s cold attitude toward Lin Shiyin made Wu Tong furious.
"Kid, Shiyin spoke to you, what are you acting for?"
Ye Chen was stunned to hear that, not expecting someone to speak to him like this.
The main person involved was fine, yet Wu Tong beside her was distressed.
"Shiyin spoke to me, what does it have to do with you?" Ye Chen said coldly.
Lin Shiyin also didn’t expect Wu Tong to speak like this.
"Wu Tong, what does this have to do with you, I’m speaking with Ye Chen."
Wu Tong didn’t expect Lin Shiyin to disregard him in front of a stranger.
Yet despite this, he continued to behave as if he was thinking of Lin Shiyin.
"Shiyin, I just can’t stand people like this, writing some poems, playing piano, and thinking they’re amazing or something." Wu Tong said attempting to approach Ye Chen.
He couldn’t swallow this irritation.
As Lin Shiyin’s Flower Guardian, he wouldn’t allow anyone to approach or disrespect the goddess.
