Chapter 176 The music continues, the dance continues.

Take the elevator directly to the top floor.

Board the Ferrari fleet, drive for about 5 minutes, and arrive at a restaurant built on a cliff.

The restaurant features a fresh Mediterranean style, consisting of both indoor and outdoor areas.

The restaurant belongs exclusively to the villa.

To welcome the new owner, all decorations had been customized and changed according to Ling Yue's preferences.

Inside the restaurant is a large circular hall with a panoramic view, where all tables and chairs have been cleared away.

In the center of the circular hall, a wide, elevated platform surrounded by fresh flowers has been set up, with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra sitting on it, tuning their instruments and ready to perform at any moment.

Outside the restaurant, curtains flutter in the wind, and a viewing platform made of fresh flowers has been built on the edge of the cliff.

On this platform stands a long table that can accommodate 40 people.

On the table are fragrant flowers and blue-and-white tableware with gold edges. It is said that all the pottery used in the villa is fired by the master craftsmen serving the villa owner's family, not for sale to the public, only for internal use.

Ling Yue is indifferent to this tableware; after all, there is too much good porcelain in China.

What she likes most is the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner.

Colorless and smokeless tea light candles are scattered all over the long table, their flames dancing and flickering, causing the light to dim and brighten.

There are not only candles on the table but also candle holders placed all around. To avoid the wind, the candles in the holders are covered with glass shades, turning the yellow glow into a hazy shimmer. From a distance, it looks like fireflies dancing in the night sky.

"Miss! You're here!" Luo Shanshan's voice called out crisply from the side.

Ling Yue looked toward the sound, and the first thing she saw was a large tree growing on the cliff.

Climbing the steps from the platform on the right, a spacious, shaded lawn comes into view, with the large tree standing on the lawn, far away from the cliff.

Hu Liyun's team, including Luo Shanshan, is decorating the large tree.

Pink-and-white long cloths are hung on the tree, swaying gently in the wind as if playing hide-and-seek with people.

Hanging down are a dozen white lanterns the size of birdcages, along with some jellyfish-like linear streamers. The light slides, making it look like jellyfish swimming in the tree. Looking closely, there are also many butterfly lights flapping their wings on the trunk and leaves.

The tree seems to have come alive.

"Miss, tell me, is this atmosphere absolutely stunning?" Luo Shanshan leaned in to claim credit.

Ling Yue looked at everything before her with satisfaction, "Where did you all get these props?"

"The villa butler took us to buy them." Hu Liyun climbed down the stairs, rubbing her sore lower back from bending over too long, "The supplies in this town are quite abundant, and we even met many tourists from China along the way."

"Not bad, it's very beautiful. You guys are too amazing." Ling Yue did not hesitate to praise them.

The group was quite happy to be praised.

Ling Yue turned her head to look around and saw the bodyguards from China gathered on a flat area, so she asked, "What are they doing?"

"They are checking if the bonfire party site is safe." Luo Shanshan clapped the dust off her hands, her tone rising, "I'm so looking forward to it~~"

Oh right, there is a bonfire party tonight, specially held by the villa to welcome Ling Yue.

Ling Yue revealed an equally expectant face.

Just as she was about to share her joy with her good sisters, she turned around, and they were gone.

Looking closer.

They were under the big tree, striking all kinds of poses, and had already started shooting.

"You two are real dogs, you didn't even call me when taking pictures!" Ling Yue turned around angrily and walked toward the big tree.

Shen Qingxue was striking a 'smelling the flower' pose, and said with a stiff neck, "We called you, but you just kept walking forward without even turning your head."

"It's okay, Miss, I brought a camera, I'll take pictures for you!" Luo Shanshan pulled out a camera backpack as if by magic.

When they went to Suzhou, Ling Yue transferred money to Luo Shanshan to buy a camera, and she had done her homework afterward.

First, she purchased an entry-level Hasselblad X2D 100C, paired with lenses, costing about 80,000 yuan. Immediately after, she configured DJI, Canon, CCD, fill lights, reflectors, tripods, and so on!

The bag was full of props.

Ling Yue happily joined the photo-taking army.

Luo Shanshan in front changed equipment from time to time, shouting:

"Beautiful, beautiful! Yes, hold the light in the palm of your hand~ Wow! Stunning! This side profile is invincible! Miss, you are so beautiful! Change your pose, yes! Keep it..."

All kinds of compliments came out of Luo Shanshan's mouth, making Ling Yue happy. The more she smiled, the more radiant she looked, and the easier she was to photograph.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "Look over there!"

Everyone was influenced by the voice and looked in the direction of his gaze.

In an instant, everyone lowered their hands, forgot to press the shutter, and stared blankly at the scene before them—

Orange-gold sunset clouds appeared in the sky, and half of the sun had set into the water, briefly turning the blue seawater into golden yellow.

The shimmering light danced like gold, and the water rippled.

Everything was dreamlike and illusory.

Under such beautiful scenery, Beethoven's "Symphony No. 6 in F Major" began to play.

The melody was gentle and calm at first, then became cheerful and lively!

The wind danced with the music, the sun finally set, darkness intertwined with crimson, the silent sea, and the bustling lights of ten thousand homes on the shore.

At this moment, romance was both a description and a fact.

...

Night finally arrived.

Dinner was about to begin.

The maid pushed over the dining cart.

Wine and champagne were available to choose from.

There were extremely rare and precious vintages of Romanée-Conti and Pétrus, as well as Salon and Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, known as top-tier champagnes, all available for free flow.

Before leaving, Ling Yue went to the hospital for a six-month post-operative check-up, and her body had finally recovered completely, but Dr. Liu also said that she could only drink in moderation.

Ling Yue cherished her life, so she listened and only had the maid pour a small half-glass of sweet champagne.

She sat in the middle, with Song Xinyao and Shen Qingxue on her left, and Zang Lanyi on her right.

The others were lined up in order, and the bodyguards sat at both ends, filling almost the entire long table.

After everyone was seated, Ling Yue raised her glass, "Everyone, feel free tonight, no need to be restrained, no need to be shy. Let us enjoy the vacation, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and raise a glass to this very moment!"

Everyone raised their glasses one after another.

"Cheers!"

The unison whisper spread over the cliff.

The bodyguards, who were still a bit restrained at first, became much more relaxed due to the relaxed atmosphere.

Shen Qingxue tasted a bite of the salad that had just been served and hurriedly gave a wink to Ling Yue and Song Xinyao, "This is delicious, this is delicious! If I could eat this kind of salad every day, I wouldn't want to die every time I'm on a diet."

Ling Yue tasted a bite.

The vegetables were extremely tender and juicy, with a crisp sweetness, paired with a sweet sauce with a grassy fragrance, having a natural taste.

"So delicious! But the portion size is nothing to brag about." Song Xinyao finished it in a few forkfuls, smacking her lips with lingering desire.

"Didn't you learn a few sentences of Italian this afternoon? It's time to show it off." Ling Yue encouraged her.

Song Xinyao cleared her throat: "Watch my performance!"

So she waved her hand and called the maid over, pointing at the empty plate in front of her, wanting to speak but hesitating.

The maid made an 'OK' gesture, stepped forward to take the plate away, and soon brought a new salad.

The whole process was silent communication through sign language.

Ling Yue: "..."

Shen Qingxue: "..."

Song Xinyao buried her head in embarrassment and ate hard.

The subsequent dishes were all exquisite, small in portion, and unique in taste.

The chef performed cooking on the spot, causing bursts of screams. Some people took out their mobile phones to record, but everyone tacitly agreed not to point the camera at Ling Yue.

It wasn't until 8:30 that dinner was finally finished.

The outdoor temperature had dropped a bit and it was cold.

Just in time, the outdoor bonfire was lit at this moment.

Everyone, including the chefs and maids, began to head to the lawn on the roof.

The orchestra's position was under the big tree, where floor tiles had been laid and seats had been arranged.

The villa butler arranged for people to perform an opening dance. At first, everyone was watching, applauding and cheering from time to time.

Suddenly, a dancer stopped in front of Ling Yue and reached out to her.

Cheng Jiao was about to explain to Ling Yue that this was the dancer's invitation, but saw Ling Yue place her hand on the dancer's palm, be led by the dancer to the bonfire, and start dancing happily and wildly.

As the core figure of the team had taken the initiative, others no longer restrained themselves and joined the ranks of dancing one after another.

They were completely high, dancing more and more excitedly.

Ling Yue gestured for Cheng Jiao to bring the suitcase containing money. Once the money box was opened, the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax!

She just stood in the middle of the crowd and made a hooking finger gesture, not even needing to speak, and everyone automatically gathered around her.

This one looks handsome, give two more bills.

This one dances well, give two more bills.

Wow, angel little sister, give eight more bills.

The denomination was 100 Euros, one stack was 10,000 Euros, and it was used up after giving a stack to seven or eight people.

When it was her own employees' turn, Ling Yue directly pinched half and shoved it into their hands. Of course, her own people had to be given special care. They still had to play here for 10 days, they had to have some pocket money to buy local specialties, right?

After getting the money, the corners of everyone's mouths were about to crack to the roots of their ears.

"I want it too, I want it too~" Song Xinyao was still quite sober at the moment, reaching out for it.

Ling Yue stuffed 3 stacks directly to her.

"Wow!!!" She ran away like crazy with the money.

The rest was distributed to the people in the orchestra. In short, one suitcase was finished.

Ling Yue felt refreshed, and everyone was happy, a win-win situation.

After receiving the money, the dancers danced harder, and the orchestra played more vigorously.

Before long, the warm-up dance ended, and the cheerful music suddenly became soothing.

The dancers who were acting crazy suddenly stopped, randomly looking for dance partners, and performed a gentleman's salute.

A group of male dancers reached out to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue didn't hesitate, found the most handsome one in the crowd, placed her hand in his palm, and the next second, she was led by him to dance a waltz.

Ling Yue: "???"

No, hey, buddy, I don't know how!

The other party seemed to see her nervousness, said something in Italian that people couldn't understand with a magnetic voice, but Ling Yue saw comfort in his eyes, so she slowly stopped being nervous, and her body relaxed.

Who understands, she who is tone-deaf is actually physically coordinated.

A little waltz, handled!

It's just that the more she danced, the more wrong it felt.

Suddenly! The music became wild. This group of male dancers was even more inexplicable. With a silky pull, the upper body had no clothes!

There was a burst of screams and cheers around. The villa butler smiled kindly, saying 'Oh my god' while clapping.

"What does this mean?" Song Xinyao covered her mouth, shouting 'Oh my, oh my', but her eyes were still staring at the male dancer's big abdominal muscles.

It was visible how excited the child was.

Ling Yue shook her head, "I don't know? It wasn't said that there was this segment."

Cheng Jiao scratched her head and said, "Sorry, Miss, everyone is high, so..."

"It's okay, just like this." Ling Yue waved her hand, thinking that since they were already undressed, should she make everyone put them back on?

"You pay attention to our people, I don't want this party to become lewd." Ling Yue instructed Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao made an 'OK' gesture and said to Ling Yue, "Everyone is not drunk, they have a sense of propriety."

"Forget it! Dance!" Shen Qingxue was completely having fun, threw away her small shawl, went up and battled dance with others, with only the determination to beat the other party in her eyes.

Ling Yue blinked.

"Song Xinyao!"

This damn girl had already climbed onto someone's abdominal muscles!

The handsome guy was full of shyness, his cheeks and ears were flushed. Looking at this innocent appearance, those who didn't know would think he was a college student working a summer job.

Song Xinyao giggled after touching it, and invited Ling Yue to touch it together, laughing and saying: "Little handsome guy~ do you have that kind of dance where only the underwear is left at the end~ Sister will give you all the money~~"

Really sleazy.

The little handsome guy tilted his head, indicating he couldn't understand.

Ling Yue gave the little handsome guy an apologetic smile and pulled Song Xinyao over.

After drinking a little wine and being blown by the little wind, people were tipsy, their true nature was completely exposed, and their courage became greater.

"Still underwear, I'll give you two slaps." Ling Yue asked Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu to drag people away and go play somewhere else.

"Don't go, keep the music playing and the dancing going!" Song Xinyao was still reaching out and calling out while being dragged away.

They played crazy for a long time.

The orchestra's time was up. When the last note ended, it also announced that this party was completely over.

Shen Qingxue wouldn't let anyone support her, waving her hand and saying, "I'm not drunk, I'm just tipsy. After having the experience of being unconscious once, how could I still get myself drunk? I can, I can still walk in a straight line, look! Hahahaha, I laugh at the vast sea, the surging tides on both sides, what was the next sentence..."

Ling Yue rubbed her temples.

Almost forgot, this Shen Qingxue, when she is drunk she sleeps, but when she is in the range of not drunk but tipsy, she talks a lot!

Ling Yue didn't share a room with the drunkards, packed them up and threw them into the guest bedroom next door, and arranged for two female bodyguards to guard them.

After all the tossing, it was already 11:30 at night.

The jet lag hadn't been adjusted yet, and she was so sleepy that Ling Yue fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the bed.
