charlie Wade never imagined that the two women would want him to dance with them.
How could someone like him possibly dance with them?
But before he could refuse, Stefanie sun clung to his arm and pleaded, “Brother charlie Wade, please say yes! We don’t actually need to dance—just perform some traditional martial arts and wirework. We’ll be fully armed, and not only will our faces be hidden, but we’ll also be wearing special assassin armor that covers even our hands. No one will see a single finger of yours.”
Tawana knew she wasn’t in a position to act spoiled in front of charlie Wade, but she still looked at him expectantly and said, “Mr. Wade, Miss Sun and I will be singing a duet. If you could perform on stage with us, it would be an unforgettable memory for both of us.”
“Yes, Brother charlie Wade!” Stefanie sun chimed in eagerly, her voice soft. “You already refused my request in the car. You wouldn’t turn this down too, would you?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Seeing her disappointed expression, charlie Wade felt a pang of guilt.
Since the performance only required him to be masked and perform martial arts moves, he said seriously, “You said Stefanie never shows her face. If I end up revealing mine, it would be embarrassing.”
Realizing that charlie Wade had already relented, Stefanie sun excitedly hugged him and cheered, “That’s great, Brother charlie Wade! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you staypletely hidden. But we’ll need to choreograph some of the movements, so I’ll need your cooperation!”
charlie Wade was relieved to confirm that he wouldn’t have to reveal his identity.
Executing a few martial arts moves wasn’t a problem for him. However, Tawana was too famous—if he showed his face at her concert, it could jeopardize his anonymity.
With no other choice, he sighed and nodded. “Alright, I agree. Just let me know the stage movements in advance, and I’ll do my best to cooperate.”
“Okay!” Stefanie sun eximed excitedly. “I’ll go back and discuss the choreography with my dance director. But don’t worry, Brother charlie Wade—it won’t be difficult!”
charlie Wade gave a slight nod. “Alright, then I’ll follow your arrangements and perform with you during the final song, correct?”
“That’s right!” Stefanie sun said excitedly. “This song is actually one of my favorites. Its lyrics tell the story of an ancient woman who falls in love with a chivalrous assassin. The assassin is tasked with eliminating a tyrannical ruler, and when he and the woman part ways, they are reluctant to say goodbye.”
charlie Wade smiled and asked, “Oh? Is this about Jing Ke?”<fn29f0> Get full chapters from Find[?]ovel</fn29f0>
“No!” Stefanie sunughed. “It’s just a fictional story. In the end, the assassin seeds in killing the tyrant and returns to the woman. It has a happy ending.”
charlie Wade nodded. “I’ll follow your arrangements. Just tell me what I need to do.”
“Great!” Stefanie sun beamed before turning to Tawana. “When do we start our first rehearsal?”
Tawana smiled and replied, “This afternoon! The performance is the night after tomorrow. We’ll start going through the stage setup today, then do a full rehearsal tomorrow during the day before the actual performance in the evening.”
charlie Wade sighed. “Sounds like a hectic day—running around everywhere.”
Curious, Tawana asked, “Do you and Miss Sun have other ns for lunch?”
Stefanie sun smiled. “Brother charlie Wade is having lunch with my parents at our house, but we’re free in the afternoon. However, we have a family dinner at his ce in the evening, so we won’t have much timeter in the day.”
