The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 10
"I haven't seen this side of Tang ever, aunty . I wasn't even aware that he had such an amazing voice or that he ever wanted to be a singer", whined Mei Zhen to Mrs . Xie .
Mrs . Xie soothed her, "well, he was a completely different person while growing up and seeing these friends have probably brought that side out . As for the aspiration to be a singer, I think he himself must have forgotten it after all these years" .
Mei Zhen gave a tight smile but she was seething inside . The limelight had shifted away completely from her engagement to Xie Tang's reunion with his hangers-on . As an only child of her parents and then as a successful entrepreneur, she was used to being the centre of universe in all situations .
"I know the likes of these people . Maybe they had been close to Tang while growing up but today's scenario is completely different . None of them would even show up as a spec of lint on his horizon", she thought furiously .
But they were projecting themselves to be extremely close to him . She assumed that at least one of them would try and take advantage of today's display of proximity to advance his or her own personal interest .
"If they had been so important to him, surely he would have mentioned them to me during this entire period of courtship . Especially about that green-eyed girl, who is clinging to him like a leech!! I have to keep Tang away from these three", swore Mei Zhen .
"You want to sing, 'It must have been love?' Why? I can suggest more appropriate, umm… I mean more recent songs than that", whispered Jia Li .
"I feel like singing that song . If you don't like it, I am going to go back to my exciting chore of greeting the guests . You have 10 seconds to decide", Tang hissed back .
"Don't you think you are acting a bit too bossy today? I was just trying to help you…", she tried to argue .
Tang didn't say anything but took a step away from the mike only to hear Jia Li announce, "and we are happy to present one of the group's favourite songs – It must have been love by Roxette" .
With a smile, Tang took his place next to the microphone .
Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away
It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
It must have been love but it's over now
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out
Make-believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I've turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away
It must have been love but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must…
Tang took a bow and got off the podium amongst shouts of 'once more' and 'encore' . Jia Li tried to take deep breaths surreptitiously and calm her galloping traitor heart . The song had been pure torture for her but thankfully Tang had looked totally at ease and it had helped her stay in control . His sexy voice and the proximity had caused more havoc on her senses than she could have imagined .
"I guess we should have taken our band a bit seriously back then", joked Chung looking at the positive reaction from the crowd .
"I don't think half of them even understand music and are following the crowd . And the rest are simply trying to be nice to the wealthy and influential hosts . It has nothing to do with us or our talents", remarked Li Jie dryly .
