Chapter 252: Chapter 255 He Qian_1

"Huh?" Lin Qingyu was taken aback: "You want to come over?"

"Definitely. Uncle and Aunt are in Hangcheng, as Yueyao’s master, I have to visit them of course." Yang Gang said in a righteous tone.

Lin Qingyu twitched the corner of her mouth and thought to herself: "Master... Although it isn’t wrong factually, it feels so odd."

After a brief pause, she finally agreed, "Alright. We are in Room 9."

Once done with the conversation, Lin Qingyu left.

She returned to the dining table.

He Qian chuckled as she looked at Yang Gang and asked, "Mr. Qi, who was that woman? She is pretty."

Yang Gang sighed deeply, "All beautiful women are known by the same name to me – ’someone else’s wife’."

He Qian burst into laughter, "Young Master Yang, you’re so funny."

"Being funny doesn’t matter. I’ve been told that a man’s excellence is mainly showcased in bed." Yang Gang was blatantly flirting with He Qian.

As expected, He Qian blushed intensely and swiftly took a sip of her tea to cover her embarrassment.

At that moment, a waiter arrived with a bouquet of flowers and stood beside He Qian.

He Qian was a bit taken aback.

"Happy birthday." Yang Gang said with a light smile.

Only then did He Qian come back to her senses, "So, it’s from you, Young Master Yang."

She accepted the flowers and looked at Yang Gang before thanking him again, "Thank you. These flowers look expensive."

"You’re welcome. Every beautiful woman deserves such a bouquet," Yang Gang gently smiled.

He Qian was clearly a bit disoriented. It was her birthday today and she had planned to set the tone of the evening. But unknowingly, the rhythm had been taken over by Yang Gang.

She wanted to say something but in the end, didn’t utter a word.

Suddenly, another person was calling out Yang Gang’s name in the hallway.

Turning his head to look, the sight surprised Yang Gang. Surprisingly, it was Liu Hui, the female doctor of the Male Department, standing in the corridor.

Dr. Liu was dressed in a black evening gown, exuding a mysterious and seductive aura.

"May I come and sit?" Liu Hui spoke again.

"Of course." Yang Gang nodded in approval.

Just as he was wondering, Liu Hui had already made her way over.

A scent of osmanthus flowers wafted and Yang Gang couldn’t help but take a greedy sniff.

"Girlfriend?" Liu Hui looked at He Qian and asked, amused.

Yang Gang quickly cleared his confusion and grinned, "No, she’s more like a client of mine."

After a pause, Yang Gang introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is He Qian, and this is Doctor Yang."

"Hello."

"Hello."

He Qian and Liu Hui shook hands.

"Can I sit here?" Liu Hui looked at He Qian and asked with a smile.

"Of course." He Qian nodded.

Yang Gang naturally would not refuse. He Qian’s behaviour was a bit unusual, and this Liu Hui even more so, suspected of drug trafficking. Both of them were under his secret investigation. If they gathered together, a general roundup might be possible.

Yang Gang found the atmosphere a bit off.

Granted, in this group of one man and two women, shouldn’t the man be the main character? Why does he have this feeling of being marginalised?

The two women, He Qian and Liu Hui, were getting along quite well, expressing a seemingly long friendship cut too short. Yang Gang was left out of the conversation.

Yang Gang was a bit perturbed. Damn, what is this rhythm?

Hey hey, what about my presence?

"Well..." Feeling ignored, Yang Gang couldn’t help but speak up.

"Oh, Yang Gang, are you still here?" Liu Hui asked.

Yang Gang’s face fell.

"Oh, right, Yang Gang, do you know what the top ten classic Chinese songs are?" Liu Hui asked again.

"The top ten classic songs... As far as I can remember, the most famous ones should be ’High Mountains and Running Rivers’ and ’Spring White Snow’. Oh, and there are ’Three Stanzas of the Plum Blossoms’. I’m not sure about the rest." Yang Gang mulled it over before answering.

"There’s also ’Guangling Melody’, ’Wild Geese Descending on the Level Sand’, ’Ten-sided Ambush’, ’Drum and Xiao under Sunset’, ’Dialogue of Fishermen and Woodcutters’, ’Eighteen Beats of a Nomadic Flute’, and ’Han Palace in Autumn Moon’." He Qian picked up where he left off and laughed.

"Oh, is that so." Yang Gang offered a smile, concealing his unease: "These days, not many people appreciate classical Chinese music. You two are really like dwellers in an ivory tower, rare kindred spirits. This should be the scene depicted in ’Spring White Snow’. At least I am someone who fairly appreciates classical music."

"That’s not quite right. The ’dweller in an ivory tower, rare kindred spirit’ phrase should reflect the connotation of ’High Mountains and Running Rivers’. Although ’High Mountains and Running Rivers’ also conveys the theme of a meeting between kindred spirits, the connotation of this melody has somewhat deviated through its thousand-year-long transmission... (A thousand more words omitted)"

"Well, just like the phrase ’together till old and grey’. Originally, it meant comrades on the battlefield vowing to live and die together. But it later became a love poem," Liu Hui took over the conversation.

"In terms of the top ten Chinese classical songs’ being misinterpreted, there is also the song ’Han Palace in Autumn Moon’... (Another thousand words omitted)" He Qian picked the conversation back up and started to ramble on.

Liu Hui nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, there is also the song ’Spring White Snow’. ’Spring White Snow’ was referred to as art of elegance. Obviously, this interpretation was based on the literal meaning of the four characters ’Spring White Snow’. The allusion and the traditional piece ’Spring White Snow’ are too far apart in historical time, they have lost their musical connection," He Qian surprisingly kept the conversation going, barely giving others an opportunity to speak.

...

Yang Gang was thoroughly defeated.

Damn, what kind of development is this?

At least give the male lead some presence, alright?

After a while, He Qian’s phone rang.

He Qian excused herself to answer a call, then came back and apologised, "I’m sorry, my son is asking for me, I have to leave. I’ve already paid for the meal."

After He Qian left, Liu Hui looked at Yang Gang, her face was not without mockery, "Hm... A young married woman with a child, do you like this type?"

"I like all beautiful women. Including Doctor Yang," Yang Gang grinned.

Laughing, He Qian thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, by the way, Xiaorou called me again just now. She seems very concerned about Little Yang Gang’s issue."

Yang Gang broke into a cold sweat, "What did you tell her?"

With a smirk, Liu Hui replied, "I told her that your impotence issue is going to take a while to fix, and she doesn’t need to worry."

Yang Gang twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why does it sound weird to me?"

"It makes perfect sense. Xiaorou seems really worried that you’d be fooling around when she’s not present. So, to ease her worries, I simply told her Little Yang Gang is ’seriously ill’ and is unable to do anything. When she heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief," Liu Hui explained.

Yang Gang’s face darkened, "Xiaorou is so heartless. Upon hearing that Little Yang Gang can’t do it, she even breathes a sigh of relief."

After a pause, Yang Gang collected his thoughts and asked Liu Hui, "Um, Doctor Liu, what were you here for again tonight?"

Liu Hui was taken aback, then showed a hint of embarrassment, "I had arranged to meet someone, but I totally forgot about it. Well, I should get going now."

Yang Gang: ...

After Liu Hui left, Yang Gang touched the mini listener in his pocket.

Just now, Yang Gang had quietly placed the miniature bug on He Qian.

He always felt that this woman was concealing something. What secret is the Qu family’s courtyard hiding?
