Chapter 362: Stop Forcing Her, She Really Is Quite Tone-Deaf

Actually, her behaviour was not troublesome for him at all.

When she was drunk, she did not do anything unseemly. She was obedient and even looked quite adorable.

He had expected Xu Moyan to say determinedly, “I won’t drink at all if you’re not by my side.”

Wei Zilin smiled as he agreed.

Even though she had sobered up, Xu Moyan still felt lazy, from her head down to her toes.

It took all her willpower to force herself to take a bath and brush her teeth, after which, she changed into her pajamas and came out of the bathroom. Then, it was Wei Zilin’s turn to take his bath.

As she had washed her face with cold water, she was much more awake than before and could not easily fall asleep. Thus, she opened her WeChat and saw the group chatting about random topics.

Nan Jingheng spotted her coming online and started to persuade her again about singing the theme song for Massacre OL.

When Wei Zilin emerged from the bathroom, he saw Nan Jingheng’s message and hugged Xu Moyan in his arms.

Xu Moyan adjusted herself into a comfortable position lazily and continued fiddling with her phone while in Wei Zilin’s arms.

“How tone-deaf are you, actually?” Wei Zilin asked curiously.

Xu Moyan blushed and said in embarrassment, “Just think of me as a really bad singer.”

“Do you know how to sing this?” Wei Zilin found a popular song that used to be played everywhere. It was The Lotus Pool by Moonlight.

Wei Zilin was busy with work most of the time and was not really familiar with modern songs. It just happened that this group had a few songs that were catchy and were often played on every street, and even some supermarkets. Their songs could even be heard on a regular basis on television.

Moreover, this was one song that was considered THE song for line dancing.

This was why Wei Zilin knew this song. He knew that if he knew the song, it was impossible that Xu Moyan would not know it.

Besides, it was known as a godly song that was easy to sing. It was also easy to remember after listening to it for the first time. It’s also highly infectious, making it prone to constantly repeat in one’s head upon hearing it.

Xu Moyan replied weakly, “I do know this song...”

With that, Wei Zilin searched for the music and lyrics. “Let me listen to you sing it.”

Xu Moyan could never reject any of Wei Zilin’s requests when facing him.

It was just the two of them anyway, and there were no outsiders, so there was no need to be too uptight. He would not laugh at her even if he had heard her sing.

So, she forced herself to sing along with the lyrics.

After Wei Zilin finished listening to her, he agreed that Xu Moyan was not just trying to be humble. She really was... quite tone-deaf.

Even the chorus, which was the easiest part to sing, had been completely decimated.

With that, Wei Zilin privately messaged Nan Jingheng, “Stop forcing her, she really is quite tone-deaf.”

Xu Moyan, “...”

Wei Zilin had sent the message right in front of her. He made no attempt to hide it from her, so Xu Moyan was able to read it clearly.

Xu Moyan could not help turning to look at Wei Zilin’s expression. She saw that there was a curve on his lips and he looked to be in quite a good mood. Obviously, he was tickled by her tone-deaf singing.

Xu Moyan felt embarrassed as she poked him in the chest. “Are you laughing at me?”

“No, I’m just... Your tone-deafness is really quite adorable,” Wei Zilin could not hold it in as he burst out laughing with a wide smile on his face.

He gave her a kiss on the lips immediately after saying this.

Xu Moyan, “...”

She knew he was being sincere, but thinking that she was adorable for being tone-deaf was just something... something that she did not know how to feel about.

“Is she really that bad?” Nan Jingheng was not going to give up so easily.

Wei Zilin might have recorded it, but he was not about to let Nan Jingheng listen to it. The woman in his arms would get mad and it would be Wei Zilin who would have to suffer her wrath.

So, all he did was send a quick ‘yes’ to Nan Jingheng.

Nan Jingheng, “That’s actually not a problem. I’ll just get somebody to arrange the song to be easier to sing. The melody won’t be too difficult and it will make for easy listening. The game’s theme song was never meant to be used for any big competitions anyway – the most important is that it will be easy to sing and remember. After Moyan is done singing it, we can just do some post-production work on it.”

“Even this can be edited in post-production?” Xu Moyan exclaimed in surprise. She was greatly impressed by the great invention that was post-production. It seemed to be able to do anything.

Wei Zilin sent over Xu Moyan’s question.

Nan Jingheng explained, “Of course it can. Do you really think all those idol singers jumping about and singing are really all good singers? They were just able to join the industry because they were good-looking. In reality, they are really terrible singers. They are always lacking stamina and have limited range – sometimes their voices even break. Thus, all their singing is edited post-production.”

“Don’t you worry about it. I’ll be sure to get someone to write you a simple melody that is easy to sing. You can practice at home and then record it at the studio later. I will get someone to record the song so that you can try to follow the tune first, that way you won’t be too pitchy. To be honest, most singers nowadays don’t really have talent. Their voices are pretty much so-so. Even so, how is it they are able to sound so good? That’s all thanks to post-production,” Han Zhuoli quickly added on.

Xu Moyan was now a little convinced. Unlike voiceover work, she really did enjoy singing even though she was bad at it. This was the reason why she did not sing often. She never sang during company gatherings in KTVs since it was just too embarrassing for her.

However, this did not mean that she did not love singing!

Besides, to be able to record in a professional recording studio sounded like an interesting new experience.

Nan Jingheng sent another message, “Hehe. Sis-in-law, don’t you want a love song that belongs exclusively to you and Big Brother Zilin? Even though in the film, Qi Shaofeng and Qing Siyu had an unhappy ending, our company has heard the voice of the fans and we changed the ending. Qi Shaofeng and Qing Siyu will go through many trials and tribulations, but they will end up happily together. This means that the love song will be about loving each other and enjoying a happy ending together. It won’t be one of those sad love songs. That describes both of you perfectly, doesn’t it?”

Xu Moyan was still a little hesitant, but Nan Jingheng made it sound so tempting.

After this, Nan Jingheng seized the opportunity to wrap up his pitch and hit her right in the heart, “That being said, didn’t you fall in love with our Big Brother Zilin because you heard Qi Shaofeng’s voiceover? Qi Shaofeng is the matchmaker for both of you! This duet has too much meaning to it. I can get a lyricist to make it about both of you and write about the love between the two of you.”

Xu Moyan, “...”

She turned to Wei Zilin and said, “I really do think that it’s such a waste that Nan Jingheng is not in sales.”

Wei Zilin’s fingers gently pinched Xu Moyan’s ears as he laughed lightly. “So, are you going to say yes?”

Xu Moyan adjusted her position in his arms and wrapped both her arms around his waist. “I’ll say yes. It will be really nice to have a love song that belongs exclusively to us.”

Wei Zilin lowered his head to kiss her and replied to Nan Jingheng, “Your sis-in-law has agreed.”

Nan Jingheng later replied with a voice message, “That’s great! Both of you, please wait for me, just wait! I’ll contact the composer and lyricist immediately!”

...

It was Saturday, the day that Wei Zilin was to take Xu Moyan to see Old Master Wei.

“Grandpa was really happy to learn that I’m taking you home. He said it would be enough that he could see all his grandchildren get married while he’s still alive,” said Wei Zilin.

Xu Moyan knew that he still had a cousin called Wei Zizhe.

She never had the chance to meet him and wondered if she would see him today.

“Grandpa got my eldest uncle’s family, my parents, and my third uncle to go over today,” Wei Zilin continued.

Xu Moyan paused while drinking her congee and suddenly felt a little nauseous, as if she had suddenly contracted food poisoning. She could not eat anything more and immediately lost her appetite as the color drained from her face.

She was really nervous.

Just the fact that she would be meeting Old Master Wei was making her nervous. Now, as they were about to leave the house, she found out that the whole Wei family would be there and that she would need to face many elders.

When Wei Zilin had mentioned Old Master Wei to her, she had felt uneasy but was not too worried. This was because Wei Zilin had told her that Old Master Wei was not someone who emphasized family background. As long as she was a good person, Old Master Wei had no objections.

However, Wei Zilin’s parents would be present today as well. She had no idea about who they were, especially when it came to Wei Mingli. All she knew was that he had committed a big mistake in the past and was a man who relished power. He had mellowed down over the past two years but she did not know by how much.

As for Wei Zilin’s mother, she knew nothing about her.

Even worse, there was still Wei Zilin’s eldest uncle and third uncle, alongside their families.

Xu Moyan may not have met or heard about his eldest uncle and eldest auntie, but she knew that they were Wei Ziqi’s parents. They had adopted Wei Ran when she was a young girl and agreed for Wei Ran to marry Wei Ziqi. Wei Zilin had mentioned that his eldest uncle and eldest auntie were big-hearted people. They supposedly had the best temperament among the Wei family elders.

His eldest uncle, Wei Minghao, may look like a stern person who never smiled, but he had a big, generous heart. As long as you were reasonable, he would listen to you. He may be stern, but he would always offer help to his family regardless of who asked for it.

His eldest auntie, Lin Qiuye had an illustrious career and was a renowned interior designer in the country where she had founded a design company. She may be a strong career woman, but in private, she was a very gentle person and was also a loving mother. According to Wei Zilin, she treated her daughter-in-law and adopted daughter, Wei Ran, better than she treated her own son, Wei Ziqi.
