Hearing this, Wing turned around and looked at Brian while still wearing the big smile on her pretty
face. Then she blinked her charming eyes for several times and raised her eyebrows as she responded
by asking, "Have you ever let me down?"
"Never, " Brian answered right away and gave her a doting smile. Immediately, his chiseled face
became so soft.
"Aha, I would like to check the sound!" Wing then beamed at Brian before getting up on stage. She sat
down at the white piano and randomly tickled the ivories like a naughty kid. Soon afterwards, a cheerful
piano piece of jingle bells resounded in the auditorium.
Hearing such lively, jolly music, Brian couldn't help smiling. He stared at Wing with an even bigger and
more doting smile on his face and kept an eye contact with her on the stage.
Wing shortly broke the eye contact with Brian as she looked down at the piano, and then she gracefully
raised her hands and started to play seriously. Her beautiful fingers were like magical fairies deftly
dancing on the ivories. With melodious harmonious sounds running at the tip of her fingers, Wing got
completely immersed in the world of music. At that time, Wing, together with piano and the melody,
seemed to merge into one masterpiece of music, quite difficult to separate.
Brian hadn't listened to her live piano solo for so long, so he kept staring at his sweet sister who was
fully intoxicated in her own performance. His eyes were full of bright smiles for he loved spoiling Wing,
his dearest sister. However, anyone who would saw him at this moment could tell a trace of sorrow in
his dark eyes, although he tried his best to hide it deeply in his mind so that it would remain buried and
forgotten.
'Wing, how could God treat you so cruelly?
You are such a kind-hearted girl, cheerful, always responsible and full of enthusiasm about life. What a
strong and independent girl you are that you still face everything with that smile! But how could God
allow you to suffer so many pains? How could HE?'
Frowning his eyebrows with his sharp eyes narrowed and his mouth slightly turned down at its corners,
Brian stared at Wing, who didn't notice his sorrow and still kept playing the piano in great
concentration. But when Wing looked at him, Brian pretended to be lost in the music, seemingly
enjoying the music all along. The hint of sorrow in his eyes disappeared right away and was replaced
by a brilliant smile all of sudden.
The wonderful music echoed in the hall. Wing was still immersed in the world of music and her face
wore a smile of enjoyment which had swept away all the sadness in Brian's heart.
"Mr. Long, Mr. Gu is here, " Tony whispered in Brian's ear as soon as he entered the hall.
Brian answered in a low and indifferent voice, "Okay." He didn't even move and just kept his eyes fixed
on Wing.
He looked calmly but Tony, who knew him so well, understood what he meant and then left the hall
right away. After a while, Tony came in again, followed by Edgar and Bill.
After taking a quick glance at Brian who was staring at Wing with hands in his pockets, Edgar did the
same and focused his eyes on Wing on the stage.
Edgar stood silently as he watched Wing and listened carefully to the music. He walked up to Wing with
both hands applauding when she finished the music.
Completely fascinated with playing the piano, Wing didn't notice that Edgar had entered the hall.
Hearing the applause, she raised her head and looked at Edgar confused, and then stepped down from
the stage with a slow but polite nod of her head before coming down to stand beside Brian.
Although Edgar had seen a great many fascinating individuals, he still failed to keep his eyes off the
stunning lady and gentleman who were standing beside each other. He couldn't help but be amazed by
their perfect combination that would make everything else fade into the background. "Wing has a well-
deserved reputation of an international super pianist. It's indeed a pleasure and honor to listen to your
performance with my own ears before the concert!"
"Oh, I guess you are Mr. Gu, the mayor? Aren't you?" Wing raised her eyebrows as she said this. She
kept on speaking when she saw Edgar nodding at her with a courteous smile on his face, "With your
help and the support of the organizing committee of A City, I'm sure that the charity concert will be a
great success. I feel deeply grateful. Thank you very much."
"You are welcome, It's my pleasure and duty to support charities, " Edgar replied politely.
"Save it, Mr. Gu, just tell us what brings you here?" said Brian abruptly in a cold voice, cutting the
conversation between the two. He stared at Edgar with an intimidating gaze that seemed like he had
restrained for a long time.
Edgar explained politely, "Wing is an internationally well-known star, so her charity concert is significant
to A City, not to mention Spark's coming too. Any mayor should try his best to support the charity
concert." Edgar was always perfect when it came to bureaucracy. A big grin on his face was perfect
too, which looked sincere and accommodating. Anybody around him definitely would feel comfortable
and pleased except for Brian.
Brian looked at Edgar with piercing eyes which sharply squinted after hearing his words. Then he
narrowed his deep eyes and said in an icy-cold voice, "Thank you. But Wing feels uncomfortable, so
we have to go now."
He put his hands on Wing's shoulder and started to walk away.
"Brian..." Wing protested. She frowned slightly and nodded politely at Edgar. She felt quite sorry and
embarrassed at Brian's words and actions.
Seeing this, Brian slightly got irritated but his face did not show it. Wearing a poker face, he interrupted
Wing and said in a cold voice, "The concert will be canceled if you set your health aside." Obviously, he
took no regard of Edgar's remarks nor feelings, speaking as if the mayor wasn't there.
His words sounded so determined, devoid of any leeway. Wing knew Brian was mad at her and that he
meant what he said. In fact, he somehow did it for her because he knew she disliked social events and
gatherings. She sighed with a sense of resignation in her mind, and then said to Edgar regrettably, "Mr.
Gu, I'm sorry but we have to go now."
"Oh, that's okay, " said Edgar thoughtfully. With a warm smile on his face, Edgar fixed his eyes on Brian
and added vaguely in a slow voice, "You care so much about Wing. I'm afraid you only select a lucky
few to care for."
