He lowered his eyes to look at the hand clutching him. His lips frowned and his thick lashes drooped, perfectly hiding any playfulness in his eyes.“Grandpa, is this how you’ve trained your staff?” Youyou coldly regarded the chauffeur in his peripheral view and asked indifferently, “Ordering your staff to trouble a child, aren’t you afraid of losing your dignity?”The elderly man gazed profoundly at him for a while before spinning his head around and waved his hand at the chauffeur. “Hai, don’t be disrespectful!”The chauffeur realized his intention with that gesture and promptly retracted his hand.Youyou tidied up his sleeve, which got crumpled by the chauffeur’s hold just then, and turned to leave.The elderly man watched the child’s departing figure in a trance. He knitted his brows and pursed his lips.“Sir…”“Hai, do whatever you can to find out about that child’s identity and background!” The elderly man ordered w
Nasi received the much coveted invitation letter in the afternoon.At the same time, she received a warning call from Li qiang.He sounded furious when she picked up his call.“Nasi , you are such a b*tch! Do you know who the hell you’ve messed with? You got me in a big trouble!”She was baffled. “Brother Qiang, what do you mean?”“Your sister may be young and harmless, but she’s got the backing of someone powerful! I didn’t get to touch her, yet I almost lost an arm. In the end, I got blacklisted by the most powerful man in the capital and almost lost my life…”She could not make sense of what he was saying. “Brother Qiang, what do you mean? I don’t understand!”“You don’t get it?!” He boiled and exclaimed, “Let me explain again; your sister has a powerful man backing her. As for the identity of this powerful man, it is not for someone lowly like you to know!”She was baffled but quickly broke into a smile. “Br
Youyou crossed him arm and sulked as they took a taxi home. Yuna saw her son’s sullen face and gave both of his rosy cheeks a pinch.“Youyou, what happened? Why do you look so sad?”He gave a snort. “Mommy, they are bullying you. I dislike them! I dislike grandma!”She knew that Youyou could not bear to see her suffer.Although this child appeared gentle and sweet before her, she knew deep down that he was different from other children. Besides being a smart kid, his tough childhood made him have the maturity not fit for his young age. He was an obedient and understanding child.She caressed his head lovingly. “Don’t mind them.”His small hands reached up and cupped his mother’s face. Youyou looked at her with loving tenderness. “As long as mommy is happy, I am willing to do anything.”Once they reached home, the manager called and instructed her to attend an event at Crowne Hotel.She hurried over. The hotel was grand and luxurious.She was originally intending to take a nap at home
What time should I report for work tomorrow?” she smilingly asked as she followed behind him.“You… You really want to be my assistant?” Guy was amused. “It’s a tough job. My assistant has to handle my PR affairs, needs to fend off the paparazzi, and, even worse, has to deal with difficult situations like today. Can you manage?”Only then did she realize how difficult a celebrity assistant’s job was.“But you asked me if I’m willing to be your assistant…”“I did that to save you,” he replied matter-of-factly.“Miss Yuna, I’ve come to pick you up,” Mr.Hanlin said.“Who are you?”Li Hanlin’s smile did not falter. He came closer to her and whispered, “Master Yun is currently waiting in the car for you.”Master Yun… Youyou?!Her facial expression looked panicky and she quickly looked in the direction of the Bentley. Seeing Youyou leaning on the car window ledge, she broke into a sweet smile and waved her ha
He then asked in a stiff and frosty voice, “Who is that man?”Yuna was taken aback by his question.Her silence only served to infuriate him.“Who is that man to you?”She looked at him with shock and disbelief. With his brows knitted together, he pinched her chin more firmly.The pain involuntarily caused her to let out a soft yelp.“Eh? Speak.”She was embarrassed and upset as she tried to push him away with her hands. She struggled with all her might, but, with the large difference in their size and strength, the man was unfazed by it. In fact, he drew even closer to her.“Be good and tell me truthfully of that man’s role into your life.”He closed the distance between their faces, his striking face becoming fully apparent before her eyes.“Husband?”She shook her head as her frail lips trembled.He frowned and then icily spit another word, “Lover?”She was more fu
Yuna was lost for a moment, overwhelmed with emotions.It was painful to watch her flesh and blood call someone else mommy, but she still remembered the contract clause from six years ago.After she gave birth to that son, she would be a stranger to him. It was cruel but necessary.She was defenseless against the rich and powerful Azhe family.She was unfit to be that child’s mother…She took a deep breath and collected her thoughts.Along the street, an extended Bentley parked at an intersection.This Bentley was a limited edition. It was not difficult to tell that the owner of this car was someone very rich.A black genuine leather sofa and Sackson carpet decorated the interior of the car.Youyou sat casually on the sofa, an expensive stemware filled with bubbling coke in his hand.At the end of his gaze was a boy about his age. A woman was leading him toward a Lincoln car by the hand.
Yuna, given a card by Guy King, auditioned exceptionally for the part of Yin Zi. Unlike the tiresome crying scenes the directors saw all morning, she decided to pick a part from the script that was original. Yuna glided her fingers across the piano, singing a gentle song, accompanied by the finishing lines in the scenes. “Bravo!” Lin Feng clapped. “It’s yours!” He couldn’t have found anyone better to suit the part. He decided then and there, she’d be the female lead. He was astounded by her specific choice and was moved wholeheartedly. When Yuna exited the Music Department, she saw Zula waiting for her by the door. Zula rushed to the venue as soon as she heard of her best friend’s plan to audition. “Yunaaa!”“Why are you here?” Yuna was startled to see her there.Zula was apparently still a bundle of nerves. “I called you and Youyou told me that you had come here to audition. I’m so worried…”“What are you worried about?”“You
She had tapped his shoulder and gave him a hard punch across the face. Some students that were standing nearby broke into a frightened scream!Yuna’s alarm bells inside her head went off. Her friend had just assaulted Ang? She was not the impulsive type. On the contrary, she was calm and collected and made rational decisions. However, she would lose her cool whenever she saw Yuna in trouble!When she saw how this licentious man was shamelessly hugging Yuna’s arm, she went mad and sent that hard slap on his face. He Lingxiang hit the floor rather ungracefully. When he got up, he spat out some blood. Two of his teeth were knocked out, and his face burned hot from the humiliating attack!Zula could deliver a mean punch.“D*mn you! You dared hit him?”The producer quickly went to help Ang up as he sent the two a menacing look.The clueless students hurried off to get the teachers for assistance.Zula remained undaunted.
He missed her a little!During his business trip out of the country, he missed this woman every time of the day.He missed her looking embarrassed, missed her glaring at him in anger, and even more so, missed her slowly blossoming like a flower.She was absolutely enticing.He thought of her so much he seemed to have been poisoned.It appeared that the poison on him could only be cured by her.She was his poison but oh boy, she was also his cure.When he kissed her, the faint fragrance of cigarette smoke lingered between their lips and teeth.Yuna’s heartbeat suddenly increased in pace, and an affectionate blush appeared on her cheeks.At first, the kiss had a domineering feel to it; he kept attacking and she kept retreating. This went on until she reached an impasse.Gradually, his kiss became gentler in seeming comfort of her emotions.Weston sat up halfway, with one hand supporting his body and the other firmly looping around her waist. He shifted slightly and leaned on the sofa la
She was selected by a famous director to be the female lead in a major film without any prior acting experience.Director Lin was a renowned award-winning director in the entertainment industry. He was usually critical with role selection, yet he picked an unknown newcomer this time.No one acted in his show that did not make it big afterward. Many were dying to star in his film, even for a supporting role, without much success.It was not only that. Many stars did not qualify to attend Huanyu’s annual gala, but this Yun Shishi, not only was she personally invited by Gu Xingze, she also appeared as his partner in it. Putting all this aside, just the fact that she could sign a contract directly with Huanyu’s headquarters made many go green with envy.The more frightening thing was that she had a star agent supporting her from behind...It would be a miracle if this newcomer did not shoot to fame.Many newcomers were jealous of her. They were envious of her topnotch resources without ha
Qin Zhou, Yuna, and June had a simple lunch that noon before they returned to the office for a respite.June, after adjusting herself into a comfortable position, took a siesta in the authentic leather chair.Qin Zhou, meanwhile, took this chance to tour Yuna around the headquarters and showed her to each floor.Huanyu Tower soared high into the skies; it was extremely magnificent. Standing at 50-story tall, it was a building within sight but beyond reach.This was her first time taking a closer look at this entertainment empire, which had captured the attention of the entire globe.Huanyu owned two large-scale production companies and three mainstream media outlets. It encompassed everything from movies and soap operas to records. This massive entertainment empire operated entirely within this tower.As the famous star-making factory of people’s dreams, those that were signed on Huanyu, whoever they were, would strike ears like the roar of thunder.At present, within the entertainmen
Qin Zhou left after bringing Yuna into the head producer’s office. “Have a seat. We are waiting for one more person.”He picked up the case file and started reading it after he had said that. There’s someone else, too?Who can it be?Am I not the only one signing a contract today?She sat in the chair and examined her surroundings. With everything neatly lined up along the shelf, the office interior appeared minimalist in design. There were a few photo frames hanging on the wall, which displayed the latest first-tier stars of Huanyu. Guy’s portrait was among this lineup. Many books and record albums were on the bookshelf. In front of the sofa was a low-square table with a high-class teapot set on it. A knock was heard on the door.She looked over quizzically and saw June walked in. Seeing her, Yuna smiled in acknowledgement and June nodded in return. She closed the door and took a seat beside her. “Producer Lane.” Lane lifted his wristwatch and took a look before he coolly com
Alexis, who was troubled, noticed that the door to Qin Zhou’s office was ajar. She roamed her eyes and hit upon an idea. Immediately, she put on a saccharine smile and entered the room.“Mr. Qin!”She decided to butter him up sweetly upon stepping inside.Qin Zhou held Huanyu shares; therefore, those artistes and staff with lower ranks had to address him as ‘Mr. Qin’.He felt a headache coming on once he saw her and rolled his eyes lazily. “What?”She was about to speak when she spotted Yuna signing a contract with her head down. She was stunned and momentarily speechless.“… Huh? Yuna?! Why are you here, too?”“It’s none of your business! Care for yourself first!” He reminded her coldly.At his reminder, she remembered her purpose for being in his office and cooed, “Mr. Qin, you have to help me~”Her velvety voice triggered goosebumps on his skin instead.Don’t act coy if you don’t know how to.As soon as she opened her mouth, he only felt disgust and his flesh creep all over.“What
Having very few friends, she treasured this seldom-received kindness. She lowered her gaze to look at the time. She was still early for the interview. As she exited the elevator, Agent Qin seemed to have just reached the company as well. He was quite surprised to see her. “Ah, Shishi! You’re so early!” “Mhm! I couldn’t hail a cab at my doorstep. Luckily, someone let me hitch a ride, so I was able to arrive here on time.” “Someone drove you here? Who?” He was puzzled by the coincidence. “She seems to be called… June Moore.” She learned her name from Youyou. June Moore? He furrowed his brows. “Where are you staying right now?” “Precious Gardens.” He was flabbergasted. That district was well-known for being a luxury residence in the capital, and she lived there? “That’s a very luxurious place! How did you manage to buy a property there?” “I struck the lottery,” she answered sheepishly without going into details. “… What good luck.” He let out a sigh from the bottom of his hea
“Do you have any last words?” The man looked at her sympathetically. After all, she had followed them since she was in junior high and inevitably gave raise to having some ‘playmate attachments’ toward her.This was a rare moment of kindness from him.She shook her wan face; she did not want to die!However, he mistook that for not having any parting words and signaled the men beside him with his eyes.“Remember to do a clean job!”“Understood, Bro!”He sniggered, stooped in front of her, and stroked her head in farewell. “Er, poor girl, tell me; why are you so stupid? It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I know we used to be close in some ways, but you tricked me first, so don’t blame me for being unkind now.”With that, he stood up and watched his henchmen drag the two away.She desperately kicked her legs in an attempt to escape as she broke down into tears.A freighter was moored quietly in the harbor.Qiang was not a typical ruffian. He had powerful connections to the mafia an
She shyly and gently undid the buttons on her dress and slowly shifted closer to him.The long dress slipped off her body, falling to the ground in a heap as she inched her way to him. She was totally nude; her fair skin and smooth body became totally exposed in the cold, crisp air.A veil of anger flashed across his face as the pupils in his eyes contracted.“Zhe, I want to give myself to you tonight. Will you please take me?” Manrou walked up to him; her arms slowly circled around the man’s sturdy waist, and she gently placed her soft lips on his chest.She tried to melt his hardened heart with her sweet tenderness. As she was hoping for Weston to make the next move, his frosty voice was heard over her head. “Put them on.”“… What?” She looked up and stared into his penetrating orbs in surprise.“Put on your clothes and get lost!” He said coldly. Before she could react, he roughly grabbed her chin and told her with a look of disgust, “Even if you want this, you have to see if I’m
@ The Azhe residence.Weston parked the car in the garage, and walked into the main hall. There, he saw Manrou and his grandpa waiting for him.Grandmaster Azhe was sitting on the master seat with a grim face. Manrou was kneeled beside him, carefully massaging and kneading his legs from time to time.The moment he saw his grandson enter, he snorted angrily and confronted, “You are finally back!”Weston greeted, “Grandpa.”Manrou wanted to speak when she saw him but kept quiet in the end. Grandpa Azhe slammed the table with evident fury.“Where have you been the past two days?! Do you remember that you still have a home to return to here?!”“I’m busy.” Weston replied coolly.“Busy?! What were you busy with?! Were you busy with a woman in bed?!” his grandfather furiously lambasted.Manrou hastily tried to soothe his fury. Gently caressing his rapidly heaving chest, she meekly commented, “Grandpa, don’t be mad. You have to take care of your health! He must have been busy with work in the
