Chapter 134: The Child You Worried About Has Grown Up

Page 1 of 3

How alluring can a woman in her thirties be?

Chen Fang had experienced it himself.

But the women he had been with were all unmarried female entertainers. He had never experienced the charms of a mature woman who had settled down and started a family.

After all, although Chen Fang did favor mature women, he still could not bring himself to cuckold someone else. That would simply be too despicable.

Of course, if a woman had married and then divorced, he would have no such reservations.

The mature superstar before him, with her pair of seductive, fox-like eyes, made a powerful visual impact. The last woman to give Chen Fang such a strong sense of pressure had been Ji Mei.

He had to admit it.

Mature women truly possessed an irresistible charm, far beyond that of those inexperienced girls barely in their twenties.

Unfortunately, however, the woman before him was married.

Besides, Chen Fang wanted to give Ji Mei a sufficient sense of security now. He did not want to make a mistake where his lower half was concerned.

“Congratulations, Chen Fang.”

The fox-eyed woman spoke. Her gaze did not drift toward Wang Situ beside him; she looked only at Chen Fang.

Chen Fang answered with a smile. “It was all thanks to Situ.”

The woman looked slightly surprised.

Chen Fang was actually being so modest.

Based on what she had learned about him online and during the auditions, Chen Fang should have been the sort of man who stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Still, she merely smiled faintly.

Wang Situ’s performance had indeed been excellent, but every song from beginning to end had been composed by Chen Fang alone. Wang Situ had merely taken part in the singing.

Without Chen Fang, there would be no dazzling Wang Situ standing on the stage today.

Everyone understood that perfectly well.

The fox-eyed woman handed the trophy and certificate to Chen Fang and Wang Situ, then slowly stepped back.

In addition to the trophy and certificate, the first-place winner would receive a substantial cash prize—at least several million. That was the only reward that truly mattered.

Chen Fang wanted money now.

Everything else was just empty show.

Afterward, the other three judges presented awards to Dong Fen and Duke.

If Qiao Yuezhu had not left early, she too would have received a trophy and an encouragement award in person. Since she had departed beforehand, the program crew could only mail them to her later.

Dong Fen and Duke stepped off the stage.

The time that followed belonged to the champion.

Mu Xin continued to stand beside Chen Fang, even closer than before. The aphrodisiac fragrance wafting from her nostrils made the lower half of Chen Fang’s body grow somewhat heated.

“No wonder she managed to climb into her benefactor’s bed.”

“She really knows how to play the seductress.”

Chen Fang sighed inwardly.

Mu Xin understood men very well.

She knew exactly how to leave a deep impression on a man in the shortest possible time—even how to provoke a physical reaction in a man she had only just met.

An ordinary man truly would not have been able to withstand a woman this brazen.

Unfortunately, Chen Fang was no ordinary man.

He had extremely high standards when it came to a woman’s figure. Mu Xin’s body was inferior even to Wang Situ’s and could not arouse his interest at all.

“After a month and a half of competition, three rounds of grueling auditions, and today’s fierce final showdown, contestants Chen Fang and Wang Situ have won the championship!”

“Do either of you have anything you would like to say to the audience and your fans?”

Mu Xin turned her head toward Chen Fang.

Her heart trembled involuntarily.

Good heavens!

This man was truly handsome.

The moment she thought about having to serve those fat, old benefactors every night, Mu Xin felt nauseated. Any normal woman would naturally prefer a man like Chen Fang—young, handsome, and talented.

But there was nothing she could do.

To climb higher, she had to suppress her disgust, put on a smile, and continue serving as a pleasure companion for the upper classes.

That was reality.

Yet as Mu Xin gazed at Chen Fang’s flawless profile, many thoughts began to stir in her heart.

Could she perhaps have a one-night stand with Chen Fang?

Or maybe the two of them could become secret lovers?

Chen Fang had no idea what chaotic thoughts were running through Mu Xin’s mind. If he had known, he would have wanted to tell her only one thing:

She should spend more time massaging herself when she had nothing else to do. With breasts that small, who would want to take her to bed?

The entire venue reverberated with Chen Fang’s name.

The united shout of tens of thousands of people made the hall tremble and seem almost unsteady.

The instant Chen Fang picked up the microphone and prepared to speak, everyone stopped shouting with astonishing coordination. The venue fell silent.

“I am very grateful to Starlight Road for giving me the opportunity to perform onstage.”

“Although the journey from the auditions to the main competition was somewhat bumpy, I am still very satisfied with the result.”

“I suppose this also counts as giving my fans a satisfactory answer sheet.”

“I will work hard to create more excellent songs in the future, and I hope my fans will continue to support me!”

Chen Fang’s speech was highly official.

But formulaic remarks like these were the safest choice. At the very least, they guaranteed that he would make absolutely no mistake.

For a seasoned veteran like Chen Fang, he had long since passed the age when a man in his twenties would lose control of his emotions onstage, choking up and shedding tears.

Beside him, Mu Xin was slightly taken aback.

At that moment, Chen Fang gave her the impression of a somewhat older, middle-aged man.

Steady.

Very good.

In Mu Xin’s heart, Chen Fang had gained another advantage.

The microphone was handed to Wang Situ.

Her reaction was completely opposite to Chen Fang’s. The tears she had already forced back welled up again, and her speech became halting as her emotions overwhelmed her:

“I am also grateful to the program crew for giving me the opportunity to sing onstage!”

“I also want to thank Brother Chen. He was the one who brought me onto the path toward a future in the music industry, and he stayed by my side practicing songs with me when I was at my most desperate. Without Brother Chen, I might still be an ordinary, unknown person.”

Wang Situ was speaking from the heart. Her words barely passed through her mind at all; they came straight from her emotions.

But heartfelt speeches like that were the easiest way to win the favor of the public and the fans.

A thunderous round of applause erupted throughout the venue.

That was the best response Wang Situ could have received.

Soon, Wang Situ looked toward the camera.

“I also want to thank my father. He taught me how to sing and helped me understand that singing is something truly meaningful. I do not know whether my father is watching this program, but I want to borrow the lyrics from ‘Father’ to tell him: The child you worry about has grown up. You no longer need to worry about me.”

After saying this, Wang Situ bowed deeply toward the camera.

That bow was for Wang Jiawei.

Inside a hospital room, Wang Jiawei watched his daughter on television, tears filling his eyes as well.

He had never given Wang Situ a sufficiently happy childhood. He had not even allowed her to complete her education. From a father’s perspective, he had failed in his duty.

But fortunately, his daughter had been like a green shoot breaking through the soil. Relying on her own efforts, along with the little water and sunlight she had struggled to obtain, she had grown into the outstanding young woman she was today.

“Situ, I’m watching.”

“I’ve always been watching you!”

“You’re the daughter I’m proudest of!”

Wang Jiawei laughed as he cried.

The other patients and their family members looked on with envy.

Every parent hoped to have a child who would make something of themselves.

But how many children truly managed to do so?

All one could say was this:

Some things simply could not be obtained through envy.
