DISAPPEARING FROM THE CROWD
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56One moth passed within a blink of an eye and in this time period she only managed to act in an advertisement. Her setbacks made her loose half of her popularity and if it continued like this then she would really disappear from the crowd. Though she tried to be composed and never let herself scatter within pieces but her heart still ached about it. People easily moved on, in no time she would be forgotten and someone else would easily replace her.
Li Jin saw through her feelings and understood how she felt but he couldn't comfort her. He has been in this industry for a good while and well knew what happened to the artists who fall from peaks; never in million years would he have thought that one day he would see his Queen in this state. She was usually calm and quiet but now he could feel her depressed spirit.
"Qin Qin…"
"Jin Ge, let's go out for a drink!" Before he could finish she spoke up.
"Huh?"
Though he was confused yet he ended up being dragged by her to a bar.
…
Inside a high class private room of 'Retro' the two sat there and drank with peace. Li Jin was still struggling to finish up his first bottle of liquor while she had already got three beers down. She was totally drunk yet she didn't give up and tried to open her fourth bottle. Li Jin advanced and grabbed the bottle from her hand, "You can't drink anymore." Qin Yue knitted her eyebrows and mumbled, "Jin Ge, please let me have a little more. I still have not drunk my sorrow away." His heart ached for her, he has always saw her strong and invincible, it was the first time he has seen her this helpless, "Qin Qin, you are already drunk! What if paparazzo clicks you?"
She chuckled and replied, "Yeah, they would love to! What the headlines would be…Maybe- Troublemaker Qin Yue becomes a drunken mess after she faces severe defeats in her career, right?"
The girl seemed to be cracking jokes but her unruliness contained a hint of pain which Li Jin sensed accurately. He refuted, "No, Qin Qin, you are not a troublemaker. The media is just crazy; they love to spew nonsense all the time."
"No Jin Ge, sometimes people say the truth and the truth turns out to be…a lot bitter!" she said staring blankly at the void, slowly drifting into her own fantasies. Li Jin hated to see her like this; he got up, "You stay right here, am going to get you some sober pills. Don't move…" And he hurriedly walked out of the room leaving her all alone.
She was so tired that she had no energy within her, her eyes started to well up and stained her cheeks with tears. She closed her eyes and sobbed for a while slowly drifting into a nap.
After she lost her senses the door of the private room was pushed open and slowly entered a tall figure. He wore a slim fit sapphire blue suit with a red tie; his sharp nose and thin lips perfectly complimented his chiseled face. His hairs were neatly set yet his bangs carelessly fell over his forehead, partially covering his dark eyebrows and deep blue eyes giving him a mysterious aura. He slowly walked towards her and stood right beside her.
He stared right at her, the girl seemed to be sleeping peacefully but her eyelashes were wet. Her tear stained face was a mess but still she was no less than a masterpiece; he stood idly for a while and then raised his firm palm to touch her tiny face but stop mid way, his hand was just a few inches away from her.
His calm eyes flooded with a complex emotion as if he was conflicting with himself but a moment later the struggle vanished and he became his usual cold self. With practically no hesitation at all he retrieved back his hand and after staring at her for a while he turned to walk out.

…Li Jin returned shortly after the mysterious man left, he saw her fast asleep and had no intention to break her sweet slumber. He called two female waitresses who helped him to take her down to his car. He stuffed her at the backseat and was about to drive away when a man stopped him. Li Jin scrolled down his window and the man was the first to speak up, "Manager Li, our boss wants to speak with you."No normal men, especially with a beauty at his backseat, would immediately rush over to an unknown man. He inquired, "Who is your Boss?" The man didn't reply instead he gave him his phone. The phone was already connected to a call; Li Jin understood his gesture and received the phone to speak."Hello, who is this?""Manager Li!" replied a cold yet cello like voice which continued, "Am the CEO of NC.""NC? President Lu?" Li Jin was especially surprised.NC was an esta

She carelessly picked up the phone but before she could even say 'hello' he spoke up, "Qin Qin, are you awake?""Yes, what's up?""I have to talk to you about something. Can we meet up?" he asked nervously."Sure, at Down Town café at 10." She replied without a second thought."Okay!" and he hung up.Li Jin used his usual tone, the polite and causal one but Qin Yue could sense both excitement and hesitation in his voice, so it must be something really important so she didn't refuse and immediately agreed to meet up.…At Down Town café by ten, Qin Yue entered wearing a hat and cooling glass and immediately spotted Li Jin at a corner seat."Am here, tell me what is it." She spoke as she took her seat. Maybe Li Jin had still not compiled up his courage to tell her the fact.What if
Holding Onto His Distorted Love SHE FELL FOR THE TRAP?
He has successfully convinced her, Mr. Lu will be happy now, right! The two were taking the last sips of their coffee when Qin Yue suddenly remembered something, "Jin Ge, what about the compensation?"Li Jin came back to his senses, he evaluated, "You still have four years left in this damned company. Each year worth's two million Yuan, so four years sums up to 8 million Yuan!""Eight million Yuan?" she was taken aback. Yes, she was a famous actress but she had no money with her; all her money were used up as a settlement fee for the scandals that she had brought to herself. To be exact, with no job she was completely broke! She bit her lips, where was she going to arrange the money or was she to use up all her savings on it? Li Jin was silent too, he knew that all her savings would drain up by the paying the compensation fee.

The very next day, Li Jin went to work as nothing had happened. He knew that his Qin Qin was going to cancel the contract today but to avoid being suspected he kept calm as if he knew nothing.Sharp at 10, Qin Yue appeared with her lawyer and went straight in. The company was in an uproar as she appeared."Was that Qin Yue? Did she really appear or am I seeing things?""It really is her, Oh my! She has been no where to been seen for a month. I wonder where she was.""You are right; she was silent for a month. Sigh. I think she is still not able to accept the fact that she has lost all her previous glory.""Hey, who is the guy next to her? Seems like to be some lawyer.""Lawyer? Did she come to cause another trouble?"Qin Yue was calm towards the uproar; she didn't pay a

Not too far away Mo Yanyan was watching her leave and a cold smirk appeared on her face. She was one of those artists who were suppressed by Qin Yue, though it was not intentional. For last few years the company only focused on nurturing Qin Yue, all the best resources would be given to her and Mo Yanyan was roughly neglected. Though Mo Yanyan was popular but she couldn't beat her as she remained as the company's first preference. But for some reason Qin Yue was receiving constant failures in her career which gave Mo Yanyan a head start and now when she has finally left the company she would be naturally at the advantage as no other artist in the company was as popular as she was now.The result was instant as her manager was getting loads of works lined up for her, the resources which once belonged to that witch were now hers.

After giving the paparazzi some shots she finally entered the building; maybe the receptionist was already notified that she would be coming so without even needing her to say anything she escorted her to a cabin at the third floor where she was meant to meet someone named as Chen Han.The receptionist pushed open a door and said, "Mr. Chen, Miss Qin is here." Qin Yue couldn't see who it was so she didn't know what his natural reactions were. The receptionist received his signal and she allowed Qin Yue to enter the office. Inside were two single seated sofa between which stood a tea table; one seat was occupied by a man in his late twenties. He was lean and tall, one single glance and she immediately recognized him. He was the infamous Assistant Chen who was the personal assistant of the legendary President Lu. President Lu never exposed himself to the world so Chen Han was the one who usually represented him.

A cold smile appeared on his face as he asked her back, "Didn't expect me, right?" Qin Yue finally managed to stable herself, this man was really here and he was now her boss. How did it happen like this? Thousand questions struck her mind.When did he return to Beijing? When did he take over NC? Why did he poach me? What the hell is going on?"You…How could it be you?" she asked him with a hint of disdain in her tone. The beautiful smile on the man's face vanished within a fraction of seconds before the temperature of the room suddenly fell down. Coldness and fury emitted from the man's body and he looked at her with frosted gaze. "Don't tell me that you don't remember my oath!" he asked with a calm yet murderous tone.Goosebumps started to flood her body. She clearly remembered his oath; she co
Holding Onto His Distorted Love LU SHENG YOU KNEW HAS LONG DIED
"Sister- in… I mean, Xiao Yue. What are you doing here?" the man was just about to call her 'sister- in- law' out of habit but he stabilized himself and changed the address. If he did he would have made the situation a thousand times awkward. His face was not visible in the dim lighting but she still managed to recognize his voice."Zihao!" Qin Yue called out in a low voice as a shimmer of hope silvered in her eyes.An Zihao's mind went blank when he saw her like this and he involuntarily passed her a plastic bag before turning around to leave. Qin Yue cautiously opened the package to find a new set of clothes in it. With her current state she had no energy to think about anything else than wearing it up. It was a set of jeans and a long sleeved top with a scarf; the outfit was perfect to sooth her cold body and hide those marks left on them by Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng never listened to anyone, not even herself, when it came to taking care of and doting her. He arrogantly believed that he was the best on it and surprisingly, he indeed was the best."I will be leaving to work, hubby!"In the meeting room Lu Sheng casted a radiant smile befor taking away the phone off his ears. He looked at Chen Han and ordered, "She is dropping by NC and is ready to continue with her work; make sure everything is ready and neatly arranged before she arrives so that she won't meet with any inconveniences.""Understood, Mr. Lu!" Saying this Chen Han took out his phone and walked out leaving Lu Sheng and the curious board members alone in that room.

Standing right beside the garage was a Mercedes Benz C- class and a man dressed in neatly pressed black suit. Qin Yue still couldn't understand what was going on, Xiao Xi looked at her Young Madam's confused reaction. As ordered she sneakily clicked a candid picture of her and sent it to Lu Sheng.The ice berg CEO was currently attending a meeting with a straight face when his phone chimed ending his long awaited wait. His sword like eyebrows relaxed and the corner of his frozen lips curled up slightly. Chen Han noticed this slight change in the President's face and immediately signalled for the representative to stop. As expected, Lu Sheng didn't make any reaction about the sudden halt in the explanation and kept on staring at his brightly lit phone screen.Xiao Xi's WeChat came through just now, he downloaded the file to see the side profile of his beautiful wife wearing a really cute and confused expression on her face. He adored the pic
Holding Onto His Distorted Love GOOD NIGHT, WIFEY
Lu Sheng pinned down both of her hands and started to kiss her; his kiss was not dominant but rather a mellow one. It was as if he was nurturing them and tasting her sweet lips to his heart content. He slowly traced down his fingers down her cheeks to her neck.Underneath him Qin Yue wriggled and smiled; his touch in her skin was like bare Heavens pouring down on her. She looked like a lost little kid who was suddenly brought up by someone and given the utmost care and love to.Lu Sheng's fingers moved to unzip her but he stopped; the girls breathings were slow and steady. It seemed that she was sleepy; Lu Sheng's eyes turned tender at the sight of her calm face. He pulled hismelf back to take a closer look at her.This woman... She got so nervous about tonight that she got herself drunk to hide it but ended up getting dizzy and slept.Lu Sheng nodded his head, sliding her bands aside he kissed on her forehead whispering, "I want to melt down in you, make you
Holding Onto His Distorted Love LET'S CELEBRATE OUR WEDDING NIGHT
The couple washed their hands and sat down to have dinner; the appetizing meal paired with its inviting aroma sent a gush of hunger down Lu Sheng's belly. Lu Sheng was a picky eater but when it came to Qin Yue he never complained; since she was living alone for a long time Qin Yue knew how to cook but she never gave any special care to enhance its quality. She was the only one cooking and feeding herself; there were even times when, out of tiredness, she used to skip meal and go to sleep directly.She was a good cook but her standards could never match to his tongues'; he was brought up eating the meals prepared by professional chefs. At first Lu Sheng had difficulties to get accustomed to her food style, even Qin Yue knew about it but there was nothing she could do. Lu Sheng never gave her a hard time though; he always ate the food without leaving a speck of rice and even used to compliment her.It's been six years since he was having food
Holding Onto His Distorted Love THE WEDDING NIGHT
Qin Yue stood in the doorsteps as she watched her hubby leave for work; they were newly married yet they couldn't spend time with eachother. She sighed; Lu Sheng must hate to leave her alone at home but he was chained by responsibilities. As his wife she should stop making things difficult for him and rather support him unconditionally. Determined she walked in, changing her slippers she dropped on the sofa.Xiao Xi ran out of the kitchen to greet her to which Qin Yue replied with a polite smile. Lu Sheng's words echoed in her ears; it was their wedding night and she was to please him. Qin Yue's attention was drawed to Xiao Xi; she called her out."Yes, Young Madam?"Qin Yue replied, "You can take leave today; don't worry I won't reduce the salary." A smile bloomed on Xiao Xi's face as she bowed and thanked her good willed Mistress, "Thank You, Young Madam!" Saying these the little maid ran into her room and changing int
Holding Onto His Distorted Love THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
Lu Sheng parted his lips from hers and asked her seriously, "Now let me ask you, being wife of a businessman is not easy, it's like living on a bet! Sun never shines everyday and never does business; there might be a possibility that I may go bankrupt and may not be able to give you a luxurious life that you deserve... You may have to face hardship with me! And once we go in and get married legally I won't ever let go of you... Life or death you will have to stay with me till we go down the grave together! Are you ready to face all this with me? Are you willing to be mine forever?"Qin Yue chocked on her tears which she was having a hard time to keep it, all she could manage was a little mumble, "I... I do!"Lu Sheng kissed the back of her palm which were still locked in his arms; he said, "Let's get married, Qin Qin!"Saying so he pushed open the door and came out, holding hands with her he lead her in. Chen Han had alr

"Civil Bureaucracy Office?" Qin Yue spelled the name of the building which stood high and mighty in front of them. Lu Sheng leaned forward to help her unbuckel her her seatbelt and asked, "Where else did you expect me to take me to? Park?"A strange swirl of emotion stormed inside Qin Yue. Yes, she was the one who proposed marriage and asked him to marry her as soon as they return to the country... But!She was still unsure if she was doing right!Lu Sheng was the love of her life and she was willing to claim her life for him. But... what about him? All this while she was the one spouting her needs and demands without even asking if he was ready for it.It is said that marriage is a big turning point for a couple's life. When two people tie themselves within the sacredness of marriage all their self oriented-ness would turm into selflessness. Was Lu Sheng ready to take responsibilities of her? Was he willing to name
Holding Onto His Distorted Love SHE IS MINE
"I guess buying him was a bad idea!" Lu Sheng stood there holding a plate looking at the girl playing with the puppy. He was jealous- why was that puppy invading her, his property. Lu Sheng couldn't help but give out a piercing a glance at the little puppy. Lu Sheng hated pets in the first place given to his obsession with cleanliness. He bought it to keep her company, not to steal his woman from him. Maybe Little Zhu Zhu understood what he said that he stopped and returned Lu Sheng's stare.Qin Yue was rendered speechless by the way the master and the puppy interracted. The ice seemed not to break so Qin Yue spoke up, "What did you prepare, I am starving!""Keep that thing aside and wash your hands.""Thing? Lu Sheng, he has a name!""I don't care."Qin Yue stopped talking at once, this guy was such a jealous little volcano. She obediently went away lest she pisses him off and g

By this time Qin Yue was half awoken; she looked at his handsome profile a bit dizzy. “Sheng, are we home?”“Yes, we are!” He kissed her fo
