For Qin Dingshan, the temptation was too great. Thus, he remained silent, indirectly consenting to Qin Jia's nonsense.
An Yiqing did not choose the piano. She lowered her head and whispered something into the ear of a staff member. Shortly after, three staff members carefully carried a guzheng into the hall.
They carefully set up the guzheng and then respectfully retreated.
Under the breathless gaze of the audience, An Yiqing gracefully walked to the guzheng and sat down elegantly. She lifted her head, gave a light smile to the guests below, and her jade-white fingers gently plucked the strings, as the clear sound of the guzheng began to resonate softly.
As a few notes entered the piece, the audience was astonished to discover that An Yiqing was playing the very same piece as Qin Jia, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai," seemingly indifferent to playing this song during Gu Yelin's proposal.
