167: Lin Chuan's singing and dancing

After the woman named Ruyan entered, she sat down holding a pipa, began to play it slowly, and sang softly.

Lin Chuan listened, and although she sang well and the tune had a touch of Immortal Qi, he felt something was missing.

Li Rufeng noticed Lin Chuan's brows furrowing as he listened and asked, "What's wrong? She is the most famous songstress here; why do you still look dissatisfied?"

Lin Chuan drank a cup of wine and said, "She sings well, but I feel this tune is not very good!"

Hearing Lin Chuan say this, Ruyan suddenly stopped playing the pipa and frowned, asking, "Might I ask what kind of tunes you like to listen to, Young Master? Although I dare not claim to be a master, I know most common tunes."

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't understand the pipa; the tunes I know are impossible to describe to you."

"Then what instrument does the Young Master need? I shall have someone fetch it," Ruyan said softly.

Lin Chuan shook his head slightly and said regretfully, "Sigh, I'm afraid you don't have those instruments here."

"Heh, Young Master, you are exaggerating. I have plenty of instruments here; as long as you name it, I will certainly be able to find it." Ruyan's stubborn temper flared up.

"Oh? Have you ever heard of a guitar?" Lin Chuan teased. "A piano would also work!"

"This..." Ruyan's willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly as she began to think.

"Young Master, are you not just making up names of instruments to fool me? I have never heard of such instruments." Ruyan thought for a long time, then shook her head and said.

"Sigh, I knew you hadn't heard of them. Forget it, just continue," Lin Chuan said with a hint of regret.

Ruyan's stubborn temper flared up even more, and she said, "Since there are no instruments to demonstrate with, why doesn't the Young Master sing a song? Though I am untalented, I am willing to accompany your singing on the spot."

Lin Chuan saw that this young woman was getting feisty, so he slammed the table, stood up, and said, "Alright, then I will sing one for you!"

Lin Chuan walked into the middle of the dancing girls and said, "You all follow my dance, watch carefully."

Lin Chuan took off his outer robe, grabbed a gauze garment that one of the dancing girls had draped over herself, and began to wiggle in a very flashy manner, singing, "Sweet, so sweet, your smile is so sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze... Ah, blooming in the spring breeze~~~~"

Watching those dancing girls wiggling their bottoms along with Lin Chuan, Li Rufeng expressed that he had really seen something new, picking up a wine pot and starting to cheer.

Ruyan truly lived up to her title as the top star; although she had some trouble keeping up with Lin Chuan's rhythm at first, as time went on, she eventually managed to play along.

Although it couldn't compare to the original song, it had taken on three or four parts of its shape.

Lin Chuan laughed, "You've got some skill. Let me change to another one..."

Lin Chuan stood behind a dancing girl, grabbed her hands, and shouted in a half-singing, half-chanting manner, "Come, on the left, draw a Dragon with me, on your right, draw a rainbow..."

That mesmerizing rap made the dancing girl whose arms Lin Chuan had grabbed laugh uncontrollably.

Ruyan was also stunned; considering herself familiar with music, she now had no idea what to do.

But Lin Chuan seemed as if he were drunk, getting more and more excited. Standing among the dancing girls, he ran his hands seductively over his own body, singing in a very flashy way, "Come on, let's indulge, anyway we have plenty of time~~~~ Ah~~~~ It's itchy~~~~"

At this, all the dancing girls and songstresses in the room, including Ruyan and Li Rufeng, were dumbfounded, watching Lin Chuan perform by himself with their mouths wide open.

Lin Chuan danced for a while longer, and seeing that everyone had stopped, he looked disappointed and scolded, "What are you looking at? Did I let you come here to watch for free?"

Li Rufeng pulled Lin Chuan down to sit and said, "Disciple, in the past, when it came to knowing how to have fun, I didn't bow to anyone, but today, I bow to you. You know how to have fun much better than me."

Ruyan stood up, holding her pipa, and bowed, saying, "Two guests, I will take my leave now."

Li Rufeng whispered to Lin Chuan, "She is asking for a tip!"

Lin Chuan scolded, "She still has the nerve to ask for a tip? She can't do anything right, and she even made me dance a segment for her—is this a free show? It would be good enough if I didn't ask her for money! Get lost immediately!"

Ruyan had never received such treatment. Her little mouth under the veil pouted in grievance. Stubbornly, she snorted coldly, slammed the pipa onto the floor with a clatter, and turned to leave.

"Hey, she's actually getting temperamental!" Lin Chuan said with dissatisfaction.

Seeing the atmosphere go cold, the slightly tipsy Lin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Don't mind her. Ladies, come, continue the music, continue the dance..."

The room immediately returned to laughter and joy.

After leaving the room, Ruyan stomped her way back to her boudoir, sat on the bed, and sulked. Since she started working in this industry, she had never been treated to a free show like this.

When the madam saw Ruyan come out, she walked in with a grin and asked, "Ruyan, how much did those two gentlemen tip?"

"Don't mention it, I'm furious!" Ruyan said aggrievedly.

"I played and I sang, but he complained that I didn't sing well and started singing himself. There wasn't a single cent of tip; I gave a free performance!" Ruyan said.

The madam was surprised after hearing this. Judging by those two, they didn't look like they were short on money. Could that be true?

Just then, a big client arrived downstairs. As soon as he came in, he specifically asked to hear Ruyan sing. The attendant hurried to find the madam, saying that a VIP had arrived.

The madam had no choice but to let Ruyan serve the VIP first. As for Lin Chuan's side, she didn't go to bother them again.

Ruyan then remembered that she had left her pipa in Lin Chuan's room. She wanted to go get it but couldn't bring herself to do so because of her Face. In the end, she had no choice but to have someone find another one.

Ruyan held the new pipa and approached the so-called VIP. While playing and singing, her mind was still filled with the grievances she had suffered at Lin Chuan's place earlier. Not only did she hit several wrong notes, but the tune was also out of key.

The man was listening with his eyes closed and immediately noticed that Ruyan's state was not right.

The man raised his hand, signaling Ruyan to stop, and then asked, "Ruyan, what's wrong today?"

When Ruyan heard this question, her sense of grievance flared up again, and her large eyes instantly welled up with tears.

The man was heartbroken when he saw this and quickly said, "Fairy Ruyan, don't cry. What grievances have you suffered? Tell me, I will stand up for you. Did that madam bully you?"

Ruyan acted spoiled and aggrieved, saying, "My Lord~~"

This sound made the man's bones go soft. He quickly said, "Quick, tell me what happened, your godfather will stand up for you!"

Ruyan said directly, "Before you arrived, two bumpkins came. Although they had money, not only did they not tip me after listening to my song, but they also told me to get lost immediately!"

When the man heard this, he was instantly furious. He stood up and said, "Very well, they dare to bully my goddaughter! Godfather will stand up for you. Let's go, which room are they in? Take me there!"

The madam outside the door saw this VIP dragging Ruyan out angrily, heading straight for Lin Chuan's room, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
