Li Lian slowly wiped the tear from her cheek.

Then she looked toward Shen Tian apologetically.

"I’m sorry, Young Master Shen. Your singing is beautiful..."

Her expression cooled slightly.

"But someone here is being rude."

The moment Shen Tian stopped singing, the atmosphere in the hall instantly changed.

People looked confused.

Some genuinely looked upset.

Others looked ready to kill whoever interrupted the performance.

After hearing something so heavenly, nobody wanted it to stop halfway through.

Li Lian slowly turned her gaze toward Ye Chen.

At that moment, Ye Chen was trying to pose attractively by adjusting his collar.

[Look at me, baby.]

[Aren’t I handsome?]

[God, I wanna bury my face in those thunder thighs...]

Li Lian instantly felt disgusted.

She always knew men had dirty thoughts.

But hearing them directly like this made her skin crawl.

Without even walking closer, she simply raised her voice calmly.

"Sir, would you mind singing for us? You seem to have a lot to say."

"...Huh?"

Ye Chen blinked in confusion.

Because he genuinely had not said anything out loud.

Then suddenly, realization hit him.

[Ohhhhh...]

[She just wants an excuse to hear my angelic voice!]

A huge smile spread across his face immediately.

He even rubbed the back of his head bashfully.

"Well... If you insist..."

Under countless stares, Ye Chen confidently walked toward the center of the hall.

People whispered quietly among themselves.

Most looked confused.

Some looked annoyed.

Others were just wondering who the hell this guy even was.

Shen Tian only gave Li Lian a small respectful bow before stepping away from the center.

Then he calmly walked back toward Ling Shuangxue.

The moment he reached her, she stared at him intensely.

"You really are perfect..."

Her eyes looked completely dazed.

Shen Tian chuckled quietly.

"All thanks to the system..."

He whispered the words softly enough that only she could hear them.

Ling Shuangxue’s heart immediately started beating faster again.

Li Lian silently regretted stopping Shen Tian’s singing.

The heavenly feeling from earlier still lingered in her chest.

Now all that remained was irritation toward Ye Chen.

Still, she maintained her dignified expression as she spoke:

"Go on. Sing."

Ye Chen nodded.

Then cleared his throat.

"Ahem."

The next second, he opened his mouth.

"When I walk on by, girls be lookin’ like, ’Damn, he fly’—"

The entire hall froze.

His singing was horrible.

Completely off-key.

His breathing was uneven.

There was no emotional depth whatsoever.

The only thing present was overwhelming narcissism.

Then somehow—

It got worse.

Ye Chen suddenly started dancing.

Wildly.

People’s expressions slowly began cracking apart.

Several guests instinctively covered their ears.

One elderly businessman nearly spat out his wine.

A girl nearby accidentally dropped her plate onto the floor.

CRASH!

Ironically, the plate breaking sounded more pleasant than Ye Chen’s singing.

Yet Ye Chen noticed none of this.

Instead, he became even more immersed in himself.

"Girl, look at that body—"

As he sang, he openly looked Li Lian up and down lustfully.

In his mind, he genuinely believed she was becoming mesmerized by his talent.

In reality?

Li Lian wanted to rip her ears off.

Then suddenly...

Ye Chen started dancing even harder.

"When I walk in the spot, this is what I see—!"

"Everybody stops and is staring at me—!"

He pointed proudly toward himself.

"I got passion in my pants and I ain’t afraid to show it—!"

Then...

To everyone’s horror...

Ye Chen ripped off his outer pants dramatically.

"I’M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!"

He started aggressively shaking his body in the middle of the banquet hall.

Li Lian nearly fainted on the spot.

Several women looked traumatized.

Even the servants stopped moving entirely.

Shen Tian immediately covered Ling Shuangxue’s eyes with one hand.

"Don’t look! I’m trying to protect your innocence!"

Ling Shuangxue buried her face into his chest immediately.

"I can still hear him..."

She sounded like she was suffering.

Across the room, even Ling Han’s expression slowly changed.

For the very first time since meeting Ye Chen...

He began seeing him in a different light.

"...What the fuck?"

It was so bad that Li Yunhai suddenly grabbed his chest.

His face twisted in pain.

Then his entire body staggered backward.

"Grandfather?!"

Li Lian’s expression shattered instantly.

Li Yunhai crashed into a nearby table, dragging the tablecloth down with him as expensive dishes and wine bottles smashed onto the floor.

The loud crash echoed through the hall.

All eyes instantly turned.

Li Lian rushed over in panic and dropped to her knees beside him.

"Grandfather! Medic! Is there any medic here?!"

Panic filled her voice.

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up.

"Damn, I’m lucky..."

He muttered under his breath excitedly.

"Not only did I show off my singing skills... But now I can show off my medical skills too!"

He hurried over.

"Don’t worry, young lady! I’ll save him!"

Inside his head though:

[Though it’ll shave some years off his lifespan...]

[But I need him standing now.]

The instant Li Lian heard that inner voice, disgust exploded inside her.

SMACK!

She backhanded Ye Chen across the face without hesitation.

"Get the hell away from him!"

Ye Chen stumbled sideways in shock.

Then Li Lian coldly yelled:

"Guards!"

Dozens of large men immediately poured into the hall and surrounded Ye Chen.

"What the hell!? I’m trying to help you!"

Then his thoughts leaked again.

[Do you think I really wanna waste my Qi saving this old bat?]

[I’m only doing this to get you into bed!]

Li Lian’s hands trembled from anger.

Before she could explode further, Shen Tian calmly walked over.

"Relax. I brought my family doctor."

That’s right.

He prepared beforehand.

Almost instantly, the Shen Family’s doctor rushed into the hall after receiving Shen Tian’s earlier message.

"Move aside! Everyone move aside!"

The doctor quickly began checking Li Yunhai’s pulse and breathing.

Ye Chen’s expression darkened seeing his spotlight stolen again.

"Young lady, you should leave it to me! I’m the better doctor!"

Shen Tian scoffed lightly.

[Then show your license.]

Li Lian immediately glared at Ye Chen.

"Show me your medical license."

Ye Chen awkwardly rubbed the back of his head.

"Uh... I left it at home..."

The room became silent.

Li Lian had completely lost patience.

"Throw him out."

The guards immediately approached him.

"Come with us. Don’t make this difficult."

Ye Chen clicked his tongue in annoyance.

The second one guard tried touching his shoulder, Ye Chen exploded.

"DON’T TOUCH ME!"

BANG!

He kicked the guard directly in the chest.

The large man went flying backward several meters before crashing into another table.

The strength was absurd.

Ye Chen breathed heavily, his eyes twitching.

He genuinely could not tolerate men touching him anymore after the bearded officer incident.
