Chapter 4

  As she walked on stage, everyone saw that she was breathtakingly beautiful. The audience slowly began applauding in encouragement. People have long heard that the Yun family's eldest lady is not only talented, but also beautiful as a fairy. But nobody had actually seen her perform in front of an audience, and her talent was almost always mentioned as an afterthought.   More often, people talked about her antics and inappropriate behavior. She was often described as a beautiful, but mentally unstable young socialite.   Seeing her today, people thought, she really deserved her reputation for being beautiful. Now they were going to wittness her talent.   Alexandra clenched her fingers in hatred as he heard the whispers of the surrounding guests. Talented? Beautiful?   She couldn’t wait till Antoinette made a fool of herself later. Let’s see who would praise her then!   She sat down in front of the piano, and swept her eyes through the crowd. She did not see Steve's figure.   Although she was a little bit disappointed, she still went on and introduced her song, "The piece I want to play today is "No Life Without You". This piece of music is dedicated to my husband Steve Gu."   Alexandra’s face changed drastically when he heard her sister’s words.   Wait, what?   Didn’t she say that she was going to accuse Steve Gu of marital rape on stage? Why did it suddenly turn into a confession of her love for him?   At this moment, Steve Gu, who was outside with Chris Ye, was shocked when he heard these words and looked up on the stage.   The woman on the stage was beautiful and her voice was forceful. She had a commanding presence, exuding the aura of a royal princess.   She lowered her head slightly. The moment she put her slender fingers on the piano keys, smooth and melodious notes flowed out immediately.   Antoinette is truly very talented in music.   After all, her mother is Anastasia Ye, the queen of the music world.   Before, in her other life, she hadn’t said it out loud but she had played the song for Marshall Su. Back then she felt that the only was she could get on stage was to play the piano, so she had practiced this piece. But on stage, she didn’t even finish it, and she barely made an effort to play it well.   Now that she’d been given a second chance, she gave a heartfelt performance. Back then, she had done the bare minimum she could. Now she made the song her own. Not only did she improve the piano piece by ad-libbing constantly, but she also sang to it, showing off her skills as a singer. She had never sung before a crowd before, and not only were they surprised that she seemed to be expressing her love for her husband, everyone was also struck by how well she sang.   From now on, she thought, she will cling to her talents. One day, she will stand on top of the world like her mother and become a celebrity that everyone looks up to.   As Alexandra gritted her teeth in anger, Marshall Su sneaked in and found her.   "Alex, didn't you say that she would accuse Steve Gu of rape when she performed on stage? Why is she singing a love song to him?"   Alexandra snapped at him, "How should I know?"   After a pause, she said,"Forget it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't accuse him. Anyway, she drank that glass of wine, there’s no way she’s getting out of this. What about you, did you do what you need to do?"   Marshall Su smiled coldly.   "It's coming soon, don't worry!"   Alexandra Yun was relieved. "That's good."   The piano music had become lingering and affectionate.   Antoinette Yun remembered the kindness that Steve Gu had done to her in the past life. No matter what she wanted, he would find a way to give it to her. Whenever she frowned, whatever made her unhappy would disappear immediately.   Except for trapping her in an arranged marriage, which was pretty much the norm in their culture, he didn't seem to have treated her badly in any way.   What about her? She has been rejecting him, trying her best to escape from him. But she could have been more civil towards him, at least. Instead, she had seen him as a villain, and treated him as such. She’d even thought of killing him.   In their last moment together, when facing the bomb Alexandra had tied to the car, he had pushed her out desperately, and fell down the cliff by himself.   Only then did she understand that this man had truly loved her. If he didn’t, then why would he give up his own life to save her?   Antoinette's eyes reddened with emotion, and the guests in the audience were also moved.   It was originally a very sweet love song, but as it flowed from Antoinette Yun's fingers, there was an atmosphere of inexplicable darkness and despair interspersed with the happy melody.   The music seemed to be about life and death. It sent chills down their spine. Though her voice was strong and melodious, the piano music gave away the sadness she felt.   Originally, it was still rumored that Steve Gu and Antoinette were not in harmony with each other. Well, even if that’s the case, clearly she was in love with him and meant every word of the song.   Steve Gu was also a quite surprised.   The song was entitled, "No Life Without You." He could clearly remember her voice as she said it just before she began playing.   Does it really mean she can't live without him? He wasn’t familiar with the song but as she sang it, it was clear that it was for someone she loved deeply.   Antoinette Yun’s sudden change of heart towards him, was it real or fake? If it's false, then it was a siren song. She was signing it to lure him in, to kill him later on.   And yet it gave him hope. Otherwise, without hope, he was really at a loss about what to do.
