Chapter 235 She Is Like a Book
The audience broke into continuous applause. Indeed, the crowd were fascinated by the couple’s tacit coordination and how they had expressed themselves in the music.
Standing under the light, Vania and Hanson accepted the crowd’s applause together, as if they were at their own wedding.
However chagrined and resentful Melanie was, she couldn’t stand out like a sore thumb at this very moment, so she could only applaud along with everyone else. She really couldn’t describe her feelings. She had painstakingly practiced the piano piece, only to have Vania steal the spotlight from her.
After such a brief interlude, everyone began to chat, dance, and have fun again.
Wrapping his arm loosely around Vania’s waist, Hanson whispered softly in her ear, “You learned how to play the piece after listening to it just once?” He could clearly see from her expression just now that she had never heard the song before, but her performance just now was so skillful that he was inwardly astonished. She can always bring me surprises, he thought.
Vania merely raised an eyebrow without answering his question.
Hanson still looked at her with a smile on his face. “I feel that there’s a growing number of secrets about you, which will only attract me even more.” Indeed, whenever Vania showed up, she would bring him something different. And besides, her latent capabilities made him feel that there was much more to her than that. There were still many things about her that he had yet to discover and see with his own eyes.
She was just like a book that he couldn’t help but read page after page. At times, he would get impatient; he wanted to know the conclusion of the story, but couldn’t bring himself to skip to the end of the book, fearing he would miss out on the enthralling plotlines. Because of that, he could only be patient and read the book bit by bit, pondering over its contents little by little. However, the more he did so, the more fascinated he became. He was so curious about her that he felt he had become somewhat obsessed with her.
Vania pushed him lightly with her hands to keep his warm breath away from her. Just as she wanted to speak, she saw Melanie coming toward them from a distance, and the corner of her lips turned up for a moment. The next instant, she leaned straight toward him, as if she was going to fall over.
Hanson was startled by her sudden movement. The next instant, however, he saw the person coming their way from the corner of his eye, upon which he smiled a knowing smile. Taking advantage of the situation, he caught Vania just in time as she fell toward him, causing her to fall precisely into his arms. Then, without giving her time to respond, he lowered his head, wanting to kiss the woman in his arms. The sweetness of her lips last time had left him pondering over it continuously, making him even more impatient.
Such a move wasn’t part of what Vania had planned, though. She accusingly stared wide-eyed at him to signal him not to do anything reckless. There are so many people watching. If someone takes photos of us and posts them online, who knows what kind of rumors will arise from them? I don’t want to be judged by the netizens.
However, Hanson leaned his face toward her as though he didn’t notice the look in her eyes.
Just as they were about to kiss, Melanie suddenly cried out, “Hanson!” The cry contained a multitude of emotions, including her yearning for the man she hadn’t seen for a long time, her aversion to Vania and Hanson kissing, and a touch of resentment and anticipation. After calling his name, she immediately stepped toward them. At this very moment, she was so impulsive that if he were to really kiss Vania, she would probably recklessly pull them apart. Staring fixedly at the couple, she measured her words, fearing that she might give an unsatisfactory answer that couldn’t move him when he asked her why she was here.
