Chapter 243 - 243 239 Becoming Shen Yan's Concert Guest

243: Chapter 239: Becoming Shen Yan’s Concert Guest 243: Chapter 239: Becoming Shen Yan’s Concert Guest Yan Yusong had already arrived at around 11:30.

On the way, he had bought two boxes of high-end fruits and a bottle of Maotai liquor.

After all, it wasn’t just a meeting outside; it was a visit to Yan Yusong’s home, so it wouldn’t be polite to arrive empty-handed—especially since Yan Yusong was Zeng Jingwei’s mentor and had devoted much attention to her upbringing.

Ye Fan drove up to the villa’s gate, got out of the car, and rang the doorbell.

Soon after, he heard light footsteps from inside, and then the villa’s door opened, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face and a tall and slim figure.

It was Shen Yan.

“Hihi, Ye Fan, you’ve arrived,” Shen Yan greeted him with a bright, cheerful laugh.

“Come on in.

We’ve just been waiting for you to eat.”

“Mhm, Shen Yan,” Ye Fan nodded with a smile, then turned to drive his car into the villa’s front courtyard and parked.

Shen Yan didn’t immediately return to the house but stood prettily in the front courtyard.

As soon as Ye Fan got out of the car, she smiled and approached him, saying, “I’m really sorry for making you come all this way.”

“Haha, wasn’t there mention of a meal?” Ye Fan laughed.

“If there’s food involved, being too lazy to make the trip would just be shameful.”

Saying this, he walked to the rear trunk of his car and took out the two boxes of high-end fruits and a beautifully packaged bottle of Maotai liquor.

Holding two boxes of fruits, Ye Fan found the remaining bottle of Maotai tricky to carry, so Shen Yan smilingly took it upon herself to help.

Then, side by side, the pair chatted and laughed their way into the villa’s first-floor hall.

Sitting in the hall’s sofa, Yan Yusong stood up and faced the direction Ye Fan and Shen Yan were coming from.

“Haha, Professor Yan,” Ye Fan greeted, “How have you been feeling lately?”

Yan Yusong laughed, “Very well, eating deliciously and sleeping soundly.”

His gaze then fell on the two boxes of high-end fruits and the packaged bottle of Maotai liquor; he shook his head and laughed, “You’re here already, why bring gifts too?”

“Hehe, just a small token, not worth much,” Ye Fan laughed, “Where should I put it?”

Yan Yusong pointed to a spot, directing Ye Fan to set down the two boxes of fruits.

Then, Ye Fan took the Maotai liquor from Shen Yan and handed it to Yan Yusong.

Yan Yusong took the Maotai liquor, said thank you, and then smiled, “The food is ready; let’s have lunch.”

“Hehe, then I’ll shamelessly invite myself for this meal,” Ye Fan laughed, accompanying Shen Yan as they followed Yan Yusong into the dining room.

Upon entering the dining room and seeing Yan Yusong’s wife, naturally, a round of greetings ensued.

After the pleasantries, everyone sat down ready to eat.

Perhaps because of Shen Yan’s visit, the dishes on the table were plentiful and, complemented by the Maotai liquor Ye Fan had brought, it was indeed a lovely lunch.

With laughter and casual conversation, the meal took just over forty minutes.

After eating, Yan Yusong’s wife efficiently prepared some fruits in the first-floor hall and then turned back to clean up the dishes in the dining room.

Resting and chatting on the first-floor hall sofa for a little while, they finally got to the main topic.

“Ye Fan, I still need a performing guest for my concert, and I’d like to invite you to be my guest performer, would that be okay?” Shen Yan asked with a smile.

“This…” Ye Fan hesitated.

Shen Yan had been generous and friendly enough with him, and with such a sincere invitation, he should have immediately accepted.

However, his identity was sensitive, and he couldn’t afford too much exposure.

At Shen Yan’s concert, a concert attended by one hundred thousand people, just stepping onto the stage to sing, even if he sang poorly, would result in substantial exposure.

Shen Yan and Yan Yusong both thought Ye Fan would immediately agree, but unexpectedly, Ye Fan hesitated.

It was known that although Shen Yan’s concert guests were officially invited by Shen Yan herself, in reality, countless singers and celebrities longed to be her concert guests.

They sought connections through various channels, requesting a chance to show their faces at the hundred thousand attendee concert.

Surprisingly, under Shen Yan’s personal and genuine invitation, Ye Fan hesitated.

Yan Yusong, who had thought it a sure thing, became anxious and persuaded, “Ye Fan, Yanyan’s concert is a hundred thousand attendee concert.

The organizers have invested tens of millions in preparation.

The music, lighting, and stage design are all world-class.

This is a rare opportunity for exposure, you shouldn’t miss it.”

A rare opportunity for exposure?

I’m actually afraid of exposure.

Wait, wait, it seems there is a way.

A flash of insight crossed his mind, and Ye Fan suddenly had an idea.

“Hehe, Yanyan, I’m honored to be a singing guest at your concert,” Ye Fan smiled, “Thank you for lifting me up.”

“Hehe, don’t mention it; I should be thanking you.

I believe your musical talent will certainly add brilliance to my concert,” Shen Yan replied with a happy smile.

Yan Yusong also showed a joyful smile.

“However…” Ye Fan said.

Yan Yusong’s smile suddenly froze, feeling like someone with both heart disease and high blood pressure on the verge of a flare-up.

Shen Yan also couldn’t help but her smiling face slightly condensed.

Seeing this, Ye Fan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Having agreed, I’ll definitely be able to do it.

However, I have one condition.”

Shen Yan and Yan Yusong both breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yan lightly laughed and asked, “What condition?”

“My condition is that I want to wear a mask while performing on stage, and afterward, it must not be revealed to outsiders,” Ye Fan said seriously.

“Why?” Both Shen Yan and Yan Yusong looked surprised and puzzled.

In the entertainment and music industry, many people are willing to comply with undeclared rules just to be seen once, and some are not just exploited once or by one person.

Ye Fan, having a great opportunity for exposure, didn’t treasure it and actually requested to wear a mask and not to disclose any information to the media afterward.

For a moment, Shen Yan felt she really couldn’t understand Ye Fan, thinking he was truly different.

Ye Fan smiled lightly, “Because I don’t want to be exposed, I want to maintain a low profile, so that my life won’t be disturbed in future.”

Shen Yan and Yan Yusong exchanged glances, realizing the desired effect was obviously much diminished.

However, even so, Shen Yan still very much hoped that Ye Fan would be her concert guest, because Ye Fan truly possessed that level of talent.

“Okay, I agree,” Shen Yan nodded.

Ye Fan smiled, “Thank you.”

Yan Yusong sighed secretly, thinking, “Although Ye Fan refuses to be exposed, his stepping on stage to sing greatly diminishes the shock value, but singing before a hundred thousand people, with such good music, lighting, and stage—it’s hard not to feel the allure of the music!

Once the first step is taken, the rest can be slowly introduced; he can’t escape the ‘Magic Power’ of music!”

With this thought, Yan Yusong smiled, reflecting that often times, good things require lots of effort, and impatience spoils great opportunities.

“Ye Fan, I happen to have a high-quality new song on hand, which suits you quite well.

Take it and sing it at Yanyan’s concert,” he said to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan chuckled, “Okay, thank you, Professor Yan.”

“Haha, you’re welcome, you’re welcome.

Let’s go up to the third-floor music room.

Let’s see if that new song really suits you,” Yan Yusong laughed.

Then, Ye Fan, Shen Yan, and Yan Yusong stood up, left the hall, and climbed the stairs to the third-floor music room.
