Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 208: A Fright After Returning Home
The nine of them spent a long time selecting the program together, paying attention to every detail of each song’s style and the difficulty of the dance. As a result, they went through the songs one by one until it was very late. Finally, they decided on the song "Swordswoman."
The whole song "Swordswoman" blends modern elements with traditional elements beautifully. In operatic roles, there are four main types: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou.
Swordswoman originally refers to a type of role in Chinese opera, specifically Peking opera, within the "Dan" category, which features heroic women with exceptional martial arts skills. It is a subset of "Wu Dan," female warriors.
Such roles typically involve riding a horse and wielding a small short sword, hence the name Swordswoman.
The current song adds modern elements to this style, making it neither dull nor lacking the taste of traditional Chinese style.
Since it’s a gala, a lively occasion, the song must enhance the atmosphere. Hence, some softer, more melodic songs were excluded, leaving only Swordswoman as the best choice in terms of style and other aspects.
Once they finalized the song selection, they informed Jean Evans, who, after reviewing, approved it since Swordswoman was already among her choices.
"Alright, now that the song is selected, we’ll start rehearsals from tomorrow. Be at the practice room at 8:30 sharp in the morning. I’ve already arranged a teacher for you all, so you just need to focus on your practice."
After saying this, Jean Evans told them they could go home today and arrive on time tomorrow.
Since there are many members in their group and they’re not living in company-arranged dorms but staying in their homes, the company is concerned. However, it’s not feasible for the company to provide each of them with an assistant and a car, so they handle these things themselves.
Typically, these people are considered key talents in their company, so they do have cars picking them up.
After Mia Sutton signed with Prosperity Group, Celine Thorne originally planned to assign her a driver, but Mia refused. She didn’t find it necessary since Leo mostly picks her up.
It seems that Leo is no longer Jensen Sterling’s driver and has become her dedicated driver. Mia greeted Leo as she got into the car and then began to doze off, feeling too tired to talk after running around the whole day.
Once home, Mia rode the elevator alone upstairs, entered the password, and stumbled inside, groggily calling out for Jensen Sterling. A few seconds later, she heard a response, slowly opened her eyes, and was startled, her almond eyes widening instantly. Her fatigue and trace of sleepiness vanished completely, leaving her feeling incredibly alert, her mind clear as ever.
In the room, Jensen Sterling was working at the side. Upon hearing her return, he lifted his head and responded to her, then saw her expression. Although there was not much change, having lived together for so long, he can perceive these subtleties. It was clear that she was startled by the sight in front of her.
Mia Sutton, feeling a bit dazed, looked at Jensen Sterling. Her brain quickly whirled around, and after a few seconds, her expression swiftly changed. Her face cracked a sweet smile, her steps became lively, and she walked over to the elegant woman on the sofa, cheerfully calling out, "Mom."
