Chapter 527: First and Forever Love
Everyone held their breaths as they watched Xu Nuan adjust the cords of her guitar and instruct the bandmates behind her. For some reason, they were feeling nervous for her.
"I am so excited. I am sure whatever it will be, it will be beautiful." Grandmother Han cheered on Xu Nuan like her number one fan.
Grandfather Han looked at his wife and smiled to see her standing with both of her hands clasped near her chest in anticipation. She was smiling in a daze and was ready to applaud Xu Nuan as she waited for her to start the performance.
While everyone was eagerly anticipating Xu Nuan's performance, Lin Ran was frowning in the corner.
"Why does she have to sing on a night like this? There are so many guests and this way, she is going to ruin our family's reputation." She sighed and face-palmed herself with one hand in embarrassment.
Unlike Xingren, she has never taken piano lessons or guitar lessons since she was young. Why does she have to do unnecessary things and ruin their image in front of all the guests?
"Mom, Please. At least don't make such comments when you're standing with others. It's her wedding, not yours anyway. Let her do what she wants." Gu Xingren snapped at her in annoyance and hushed Lin Ran to lower her voice.
"Why are you taking her side? Have you forgotten what she did to you?" Lin Ran frowned at her.
She was watching the way she is treating Xu Nuan these days and it's pissing her off. To support Xu Nuan, she is going against her will and looks as if she has joined hands with her grandfather and father.
Shouldn't she be angry at Xu Nuan instead for ruining her life and reputation in front of the world? She wondered.
Gu Xingren sighed tiredly as she was exhausted by her mother's annoying comments. There was a time when she used to speak the same language as her mother.
However, it was in the past.
After she fell to the bottom from the top, she realized that it was because of her mother that she always hated Xu Nuan.
Xu Nuan was never the culprit in her life, it was her family who kept feeding her negative thoughts since she was young.
Her mother was the prime villain in her life. She was the one who always wanted her to be better than Xu Nuan in everything, from studies to physical appearance and etiquette.
Because she didn't want a daughter but a pretty doll who will help her to keep a high status in society while doing all the work on behalf of her.
It was because of this pressure that life started to become hard for her and Xu Nuan's existence felt like a thorn in her life.
To overtake Xu Nuan and prove her worth as the heiress of the Gu family, she worked hard and did everything to prove that she deserves to be the daughter of the Gu family and not Xu Nuan who does not know anything. She made all these efforts to protect her position in the house.
If her mother had guided her well and treated her like a human being and not a materialistic doll, would things have been different?
If her mother hadn't been so obsessed with her studies and forced her to become the best daughter, would she be able to accept Xu Nuan when she came to the house and live like sisters under the same roof?

While Lin Ran was waiting for Xu Nuan to humiliate herself, those who were aware of Xu Nuan's identity as Jiang Yue were feeling emotional to see her holding a guitar like this.
It was the image of Jiang Yue that was imprinted in their minds, however, it has been such a long time since they saw her holding a guitar, getting ready to perform on the stage. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Luo Dan and Jia Fei exchanged glances and could see tears brimming in their eyes. It has been such a long time since they saw her holding a guitar to perform and not just helping them in the recording studio.
Jia Fei sniffled emotionally and controlled herself from crying and shouted in excitement, "My Girl, You can do it. You're the best!" She cheered for her.
Yuhan who was standing behind her glanced at her and saw the way she was sniffling and wiping her tears. He was surprised as he wasn't expecting her to be crying at this moment.
"Here. Use this." He smiled and handed her his handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Oh. You're not that bad." Jia Fei was surprised by his thoughtful gesture and commented before taking the handkerchief and carefully wiping her tears without ruining her makeup.
Yuhan chuckled to see her teasing him while crying. She never leaves a chance to make random comments, does she?

After adjusting the cords of her guitar, Xu Nuan looked at Han Zihao, who was standing in front of the crowd and was looking at her with his eyes filled with love. His gaze was filled with love and affection as if she is the most beautiful woman on this earth.
*Ahem*She smiled and cleared her throat to control her emotions before starting the performance.
"Han Zihao, do you remember the first day we met? Because I do." She leaned closer to the mic and whispered in a hushed voice.
The music was off and the guests were happily watching the exchange between the newlywed couple.
Han Zihao smiled and nodded, "I can never forget that day." He shouted back at her.
The first day he met her was at the orphanage when five years old Jiang Yue came with her parents and they became friends that day. However, fate played a game with them, and years later, they met again at the hospital.
At that time, she wasn't the Jiang Yue he used to know but the girl Xu Nuan, who jumped in front of his car and got into an accident.
However, to him, she is still the same Jiang Yue who is his First and will be his Forever Love.
They sure are fated to love each other. Otherwise, how can there be such a coincidence that she got into an accident in front of his car only?
Xu Nuan laughed at Han Zihao's loud reaction. Although she could still hear him without him needing to shout because the music was already off and he was standing close to the stage.
However, the way he shouted so that she could hear him correctly made her so happy. He looked irresistibly cute while shouting like that.
He might be the cold-workaholic man for the world, but to her, he is the sweetest and the most caring man she could ever find.
Whenever she needed him, he was always there. He is slow at times but he knows when she needs his support and comfort.
As a woman who has lacked love for her whole life, how can she not feel his sincerity and feel touched by this?
"Good that you know. Otherwise, I would have to reconsider this marriage if you have forgotten about that." Xu Nuan commented teasingly, causing everyone to burst into good laughter.
Han Liang laughed and slapped his brother on the shoulder and said, "Brother, be careful. If one day you forgot your wedding anniversary, that day you will become a divorced man from a married man."
Han Zihao frowned and glared at his brother who was speaking nonsense. "Who is getting divorced?" He asked while giving him a killing glare.
Han Liang pursed his lips and shook his head before saying, "Me. Me. I am getting divorced. Alright?" He said to dissipate his brother's anger.
A while ago, he was smiling at Xu Nuan, now suddenly his smile vanished and was giving him a death stare. Does he only want to become a good man to Xu Nuan? What a hypocrite he is.
He scoffed and turned to Luo Dan to get comforted.
However, when he looked to his side, he realized that Luo Dan was now standing with Jia Fei and was hugging her while watching the performance, leaving him alone.
He scoffed to see them hugging and muttered with a frown, "It's Jia Fei again! I sometimes wonder if Luo Dan is my girlfriend or hers. She spent more time with her than me." He sighed.
