Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 191 - 191 187 Shen Yan Finds Ye Fan for a Duet

191: Chapter 187 Shen Yan Finds Ye Fan for a Duet 191: Chapter 187 Shen Yan Finds Ye Fan for a Duet Shen Yan found Ye Fan in the crowd and smiled at Dongfang Yunqi and Xiao Yichen, saying, “Hee hee, I’ve found him.

Wait for me a moment; I’ll call him over.”

Xiao Yichen froze on the spot; he had suggested that he and Shen Yan sing together, not that Shen Yan find another man to sing with.

Before he could recover, Shen Yan had already gracefully walked toward Ye Fan.

Left behind, Xiao Yichen snapped out of it and hastily tried to signal Dongfang Yunqi with his eyes, but Dongfang Yunqi spread his hands, showing a helpless smile.

Seeing that Dongfang Yunqi was unwilling to help, Xiao Yichen, maintaining his dignity, couldn’t possibly chase after Shen Yan and ask to sing with her.

He turned and watched the direction Shen Yan was walking; he wanted to see which man would dare compete with him to sing with Shen Yan.

He was determined, no matter whom Shen Yan called over, to make that man step aside and graciously give up.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan had returned to the hall but didn’t see Bobo immediately; he guessed she had gone to chat with other girls.

So, he didn’t specifically look for her, casually picked up a glass of red wine, and sat down on a genuine leather sofa.

While sipping his wine, he admired the beautiful women around him.

However, just as he had sat down, he saw the stunningly beautiful Shen Yan walking toward him with a smile.

He could only stand up, put on a smile, and welcome her.

Of course, Shen Yan did not walk over alone; she was accompanied by the gaze of most people in the hall.

The charity auction and party this evening had been greatly enlivened by Shen Yan’s presence.

Naturally, her every move was the focus of attention for most of the people present.

Zhao Shuaijiang, Tang Mingyi, and others were astonished to see Shen Yan walking directly toward Ye Fan, feeling a mix of envy and regret.

“Ye Fan is just too damn lucky!

He only spent 320,000 to buy a pair of ornamental walnuts, and he actually caught Shen Yan’s attention and even got her to come and talk to him!” Zhao Shuaijiang and Tang Mingyi lamented, pounding their chests in regret.

“Had I known, I would have spent 400,000 to get those walnuts!

Then Shen Yan would have been approaching me!”

Not only Zhao Shaodong, Tang Mingyi, and others in the hall were also taken aback.

Especially the men, who, like Zhao Shuaijiang and Tang Mingyi, were filled with remorse.

However, the most frustrated and even angry was Xiao Yichen.

Shen Yan, ignoring him, had gone out of her way to find Ye Fan.

“Am I, Xiao Yichen, the top scion of Hua Hai City, not better than a mere soldier?” he thought angrily.

“With that guy’s crude and unrefined demeanor, not to mention singing in public, he probably can’t carry a tune at all!”

“Hee hee, Shen Yan,” Ye Fan called out with a smile.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Shen Yan approached Ye Fan, and they stood only a meter apart—close enough for Ye Fan to smell the faint fragrance from her.

“Hee hee, Ye Fan, I didn’t expect you to be quite charitable as well,” said Shen Yan, her smile blossoming.

Although she knew Ye Fan was not poor, from his clothes and the car he drove, she inferred he wasn’t wealthy.

Thus, she thought it was commendable for Ye Fan to participate in this charity auction and spend 320,000 on items.

It was far more sincere than those young masters who spent a month’s allowance on charity just to flirt with girls.

Ye Fan replied with a light smile, “It’s just a fortunate encounter.

It’s my first time here.”

Shen Yan giggled.

Knowing that Dongfang Yunqi and Xiao Yichen were still waiting and it wasn’t appropriate to chat further, she said to Ye Fan, “I’m planning to sing ‘Love’s Devotion’ here spontaneously, but it’s too monotonous alone.

I’d like to invite you to sing with me.

Would you like to?”

“‘Love’s Devotion’?

The one by Wei Wei?” asked Ye Fan.

If it were Wei Wei’s song “Love’s Devotion,” he could sing it.

The song was quite old, at least twenty years old, and was very popular.

Before entering the military, he had learned it.

Shen Yan chuckled and said, “What other song could it be?”

Ye Fan nodded and replied, “It’s my honor to sing a duet with Singer Shen.

I’m definitely willing.

But, I’ve kind of forgotten the lyrics.

If you trust me, let me check the lyrics online before we sing.”

The melody of “Love’s Devotion” was beautifully emotive and simple, with high recognizability — almost anyone who had heard it once or twice could hum it.

Those who learned it would remember it for half a lifetime even if they neither sang nor heard it again.

Shen Yan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

She thought Ye Fan would definitely know how to sing “Love’s Devotion” but turned out he didn’t remember the lyrics.

However, recalling the last time at Yan Yusong’s house when Ye Fan also didn’t know how to sing songs like “Spring Mud” but sang it better than anyone after hearing it once, she decided to trust Ye Fan.

“Sure,” she smiled.

So, Ye Fan took out his smartphone, searched for the lyrics of “Love’s Devotion” online, and began to memorize them.

However, this scene was interpreted differently by others.

Everyone thought Ye Fan took out his phone to record Shen Yan’s private phone number, clearly a step towards making genuine friends.

Given Shen Yan’s current status, her private phone number was something she wouldn’t easily share with outsiders.

The lyrics of “Love’s Devotion” were simple; it was essentially a beautiful poem, very easy to memorize.

Moreover, Ye Fan had just not sung or listened to it for a long time, so his memory was a bit fuzzy.

He quickly read through the lyrics and completely memorized them.

“Hehe, got it,” Ye Fan said with a smile to Shen Yan, putting his smartphone back in his pocket.

“Mm,” Shen Yan smiled, nodding her head and said, “Let’s head over to Yun Qi and Xiao Yichen.

Let’s ask her to prepare the microphones and music.”

Thus, Ye Fan and Shen Yan walked toward Yun Qi and Xiao Yichen.

People saw Ye Fan and Shen Yan chatting and laughing, jotting down Shen Yan’s private phone number, and then walking towards Yun Qi together, indicating that their conversation was more than just casual pleasantries.

Everyone was dying of envy.

If looks could kill, Ye Fan would have been obliterated by numerous hateful gazes a long time ago.

It’s no wonder they felt such jealousy.

To them, Ye Fan was an unfamiliar face, not one of the insiders, and judging from his ordinary clothes, he wasn’t someone of significant wealth or status.

They had tried to initiate conversation with Shen Yan to no avail, and here was Ye Fan, a “poor boy,” receiving favor from Shen Yan who even approached him proactively to establish friendship.

How could they maintain their composure?

Zhao Shuaijiang, Tang Mingyi, and the others watched, dumbfounded, as Ye Fan and Shen Yan walked shoulder to shoulder toward Yun Qi.

They found the world to be unreal.

They were friends with Ye Fan and didn’t envy him over this, but they all inwardly exclaimed, “A badass life really doesn’t need any explanations!

Damn, I think I’m starting to admire Ye Fan!”
