The voice was indeed as clear and pleasant as it had been on the stage.
Li Piaoqing's smile bloomed instantly, her lively nature from practicing martial arts since childhood made her feel close and fond of gentle and quiet girls, especially now with this girl of similar age who sang so well and had a compatible temperament. It had been a long time since the girl had met a peer whom she hit it off with so well.
"Sister, are you here to discuss the business of opera costumes?" Li Piaoqing asked cheerfully as she looked at her.
"No, I'm here to check on the engagement gifts," Yi Chengxin replied with a smile.
"Ah... whose engagement gifts?"
"Mine," Yi Chengxin said softly with a smile, "the day after tomorrow I will marry to the Western region, and I will no longer perform after that."
"..."
Just then, the Store Manager emerged from the back with a ledger in hand, greeted Li Piaoqing with a bow, but made no gesture towards Yi Chengxin and walked straight past.
