The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Just when everyone thought the conversation between the two had ended with a simple exchange of pleasantries, Zhou Yanhuan made a stunning move. She bent down like an elegant swan, meeting the gaze of the elderly Mr. Si Moyuan before her, then opened her arms, as gentle as angel wings, and softly said, "Mr. Leonidas, hello. Would you like to embrace Miss Vanessa, who is as beautiful as a spring flower at 18?"

Zhou Yanhuan's voice was like heavenly music, neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for everyone around her to hear. When Old Master Si Moyuan heard this, he was stunned as if struck by lightning, and everyone else who heard it was also dumbfounded, their hearts filled with doubt.

Zhou Yanhuan completely ignored the surprised and puzzled looks from those around her, her voice remaining calm and composed: "The piece we danced with just now was composed by herself, called 'L'amour d'une vie,' which translates to 'lifelong love.'"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Si Moyuan seemed to suddenly snap out of a daze. His eyes reddened slightly, as if a chord deep within him had been touched. Then, with an extremely gentlemanly manner, he softly asked Zhou Yanhuan, "So, Ms. Vanessa, may I have the honor of embracing you?"

Zhou Yanhuan smiled slightly and replied, "Of course, Vanessa would never refuse a hug from Mr. Leonidas."

Before the words were even finished, Zhou Yanhuan stepped forward and gently embraced Old Master Si Moyuan. This action caught everyone present off guard, especially Zhou Yanchuan, who was filled with doubt. Because in their pre-designed script, there was no such element as an embrace.

Could this be a scene added on the spot? As expected of a top-tier female celebrity with a professional background, this award-winning actress's acting skills are truly superb! The genuine emotions she expressed in her natural embrace seemed to show her love without reservation, which undoubtedly laid an excellent foundation for what was about to happen.

The two embraced briefly for a few seconds, but those few seconds felt like an eternity. In that short time, Mr. Si seemed to forget everything; he felt as if he were truly embracing 18-year-old Vanessa, the love of his life.

However, the good times were so short-lived, and their embrace lasted only a few seconds before they parted.

Just then, the light from the crystal chandelier cascaded down like flowing water onto the silverware and wine glasses, making them sparkle. The chatter of the guests and the music mingled together, rising and falling like a grand symphony. However, no one noticed that a hidden channel in the banquet hall's dome was quietly opening; the subtle mechanical hum was easily masked by the noisy environment.

In an instant, the enormous movie screen, like a cascade of moonlight, silently slid down from above. Its soft material unfolded rapidly under the force of gravity, as if gently unveiled by an invisible hand. The matte white folds of the screen shimmered like ripples on a lake under moonlight, giving it a gentle and mysterious feel.

The enormous curtain, like a black hole that devours everything, quickly engulfed the entire small stage. It swept over the gilded, carved railings, the golden light on which instantly dimmed under the curtain's cover; it swept over the piano on the stage, the piano that had gleamed black under the lights also lost its luster in the curtain's shadow, as if shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The curtain appeared so suddenly that the guests in the front row nearly dropped their desserts. They stared in astonishment at the unexpected curtain, their lively conversation abruptly halted, replaced by a stunned silence. The surrounding chatter vanished instantly; the entire banquet hall was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

All eyes were drawn to the suddenly appearing curtain, as if by a magnet. Curiosity and doubt spread through the banquet hall; people whispered among themselves, trying to guess the secret hidden behind the curtain.

Just then, the lights in the banquet hall began to dim again. The previously bright lights gradually diminished, replaced by a soft, slightly mysterious dim light. This dim light made the atmosphere in the banquet hall even more solemn, as if the entire space was shrouded in an unknown force.

In the dim light, the previously undecorated ceiling suddenly twinkled with fairy lights. These lights, like stars in the night sky, emitted a faint but warm glow. Their presence transformed the banquet hall ceiling into a vast starry sky, giving one the illusion of being in the universe.

Just as everyone was immersed in this wondrous atmosphere, the screen finally displayed an image. The first thing that caught their eye was an elderly woman with the appearance of a foreign noblewoman. She was about sixty years old, but time seemed to have left few traces on her. Her skin was still smooth and delicate, and the wrinkles were only lightly etched at the corners of her eyes and mouth. This person was Vanessa.

The old lady's eyes were blue, like the deep ocean, revealing wisdom and elegance. Her hair was neatly combed and styled into an exquisite bun, with a few strands of silver shimmering faintly under the light.

She wore an elegant black cheongsam, its tailored perfectly accentuating her slender figure. The cheongsam was embroidered with exquisite patterns that peeked out from understated elegance with her movements, creating a sense of understated luxury.

Just then, a voice-over suddenly came through. The voice was clear and melodious, like heavenly music, and sounded very sweet. The female voice asked in a friendly manner, "Great-Grandma, do you remember? When we were preparing a birthday present for Mr. Leonidas, we heard you tell your story. I thought your story was so wonderful, and it was very helpful to my writing! You know, I'm a novelist, so I'm particularly curious, if you really met Mr. Leonidas, the love of your life, what would you say to him? How about this, Great-Grandma, we'll secretly record it now, and you can use it as writing material for me, okay?"

Zhou Yanhuan, Zhou Yanchuan, Zhou Jiaze, Zhou Jiayue, Zhou Jiayu, Zhou Jiaxuan, and Feng Muyang all remained calm upon hearing this. After all, they were already very familiar with this question, and could even say they knew it by heart.

This is truly unexpected! Xu Linfeng thought to himself in amazement; the Zhou family siblings are really quite formidable.

You know, such a thing is unheard of! No one has ever seen it before, yet it was able to dance so precisely in front of the main character, not only successfully recording the other protagonist's image, but also cleverly delivering it to the other male protagonist's ear, and in full view of everyone, as a birthday gift.

In just a few minutes, everyone watched the entire scene with bated breath, as if they had witnessed a thrilling drama, and listened to Vanessa's heartfelt confession.

At this moment, everyone seemed to suddenly understand why Old Master Si Moyuan had remained unmarried throughout his life. It turned out that he had once met a woman who had captivated him throughout his youth and life, but unfortunately, for certain reasons, they could not be together. Therefore, the old man steadfastly held onto that deep affection, remaining celibate for that woman.

As the old lady's video finished playing, the curtain slowly rose, and the lights in the banquet hall came back on. However, everyone present harbored different thoughts. Some were filled with envy for the relationship, some secretly compared themselves to the other person, and others were simply curious and wanted to find out more. In short, everyone's thoughts were intertwined, like the stage lights, making them difficult to fathom.
