Love in Another Life: My Gentle Tyrant - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

The audience was unnaturally silent, cold sweat trickled down XuanJi as she continued performing . This was the limit of her singing capabilities . She had hoped that this, coupled with the magic tricks she learned in her school day would be enough . There was nothing more she could do at this point and the song would soon be over .

Without realizing it, her gaze drifted to Feng ZhanBai . After tonight, she will likely never see him again… . With that thought in mind, as if on a whim, she walked slowly in his direction .

XuanJi was unaware that the entire audience’s attention was on her at this moment, watching as she moved towards him .

When their eyes met, there was a glimmer of familiarity, as if they had once known each other in a past life . Feng ZhanBai felt his heart constrict, the hands that were hidden beneath the table clenched tightly . He couldn’t help but laugh at himself, he had always walked calmly through life, never having felt any anxiety or nervousness . Who could have thought that he would first experience these emotions in this kind of scenario .

XuanJi watch as the handsome face reddened slightly . Curving her eyes in a smile, she stretched her hand out towards him . Her delicate white palm held nothing in it . The audience looked on with curiosity, no one understood her actions . Feng ZhanBai himself could only focus on the dryness in his throat as he watched her .  

Suddenly, the outstretched hand pulled back and twirled by her temples, a brilliant purple flower had bloomed in her hand .  

She smiled lightly and handed the flower over to Feng ZhanBai . Shocked, he immediately reached out and accepted it .

Walking back, XuanJi let out the final note of the song and slowly turned her body towards the back of the stage .

No one knew who made the first sound of, when suddenly, the entire room burst with cheers and applause .  

XuanJi vigorously wiped away the sweat on her brows, internally giving thanks to the TV drama the song was written for .

Suddenly, she felt something lightly hit her back . Confused, she turned back towards the audience . At the same time the lights within the building had been rekindled . Countless silk flowers were being thrown at her feet . The shock that had flitted across her face turned into a small smile .

In a matter of seconds, the floor was covered with a sea of multicolored silk flowers . If one were to count, the number of flowers piled before XuanJi were many times that of the flowers received by the five previous performers combined .

A voice shouted out “No need to continue the selection, Miss ShiMin is clearly the winner tonight!” several other voices immediately joined in agreement . Soon, the sounds of approval rang through the entire venue .

Surprised, XuanJi didn’t know how to react . From the corner of her eye she saw Feng ZhanBai’s heavy gaze and the eyes of Na-Ming TianLang and YunYang, all pointed at her .

In the distance, she saw Madame walking towards the stage with a face full of smiles, XuanJi readied herself to leave the stage . Suddenly, she felt a heat rise from her lower abdomen and spread down her limbs, throughout her entire body .

Before she could react, she felt something tighten around her waist . Shocked, she turned her head and nearly let out a scream . WenSan, the pigheaded son of Wen Rukai had wrapped his arms around her! 

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” she angrily shouted, trying in vain to push him off .

WenSan gave her a perverted look and laughed . “You little seductress, I certainly didn’t make a mistake choosing you, you’ll serve my father and I well tonight . ”

As he continued to hold XuanJi he shouted out “Does everyone want to see this little beauty’s face?”

“Yes!” The applause that had slowed down suddenly erupted again .

“Young Master Wen, hurry up and show us!”

XuanJi turned towards Feng ZhanBai in horror . Before she could cry out to him for help, the veil was already ripped off of her face .

“What? Why is it you? Where is Lu ShiMin? To think you were a girl this whole time! Ha, at least I still got something worthwhile for my money . ” WenSan quickly recovered from his shock and laughed out . The disgusting look in his eyes intensified as he drooled over her . He looked as if he was ready to rip her clothes off and take her right there .

Furious, XuanJi lifted her hands and gave him a slap .

“You dare to hit me!?” He shouted in rage, immediately wrapping his hands around XuanJi’s neck .

Struggling to break free, XuanJi turned towards Feng ZhanBai . “Big brother, save me . ” she cried out hoarsely .

Feng ZhanBai had barely been able to contain his rage when he saw WenSan grab XuangJi . In the moment her face was revealed, he was stunned by what he saw .

He moved with lightning speed towards the stage before the words were even out of her mouth . With a flick of his sleeves, she was pulled into his embrace and WenSan was knocked to the ground .

“Sir” WuQi shouted out as he leaped to Feng ZhanBai’s side . The entire audience froze in shock at the sudden change of events .
