“What are you looking at?” She looked displeased.He answered matter-of-factly, “Looking at you.”She pouted and tried to pry her body out of his sight, but his eyes followed her lasciviously; he swept his gaze on her smooth and glossy body teasingly.She was antagonized. “Stop looking!”“Why? Have you turned shy?” he asked with a cheeky smile.Bearing his teasing no longer, she walked up to him, shoved him out of the door, and said, “Get out!”Bump!He was locked out of the bathroom. The man smiled and chuckled.She was clearly shy!He decided not to tease her further and, wearing his bathrobe, walked away in high spirits. With a glass of red wine in hand, he sat on the couch and started flipping through the newspaper the servant had brought in.When he saw the newspaper’s headline, his eyes turned contemplative; he took a sip of the red wine as his face displayed a trace of self-satisfaction.When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw him flipping through the newspaper with one ha
She then added almost immediately, “I have to go back. Youyou must be worried sick.”She cleaned up and hurried toward the door.He called out from behind her, “Are you going back by yourself?”“Yes!”He smiled and said, “There’s no through road here. It’s a long way from the villa to the bottom of the hill. Are you sure you are going back alone?”She paused for a moment before looking at him resignedly.“Send me back!”…The sky had darkened.Youyou, who had not eaten anything for a day, heard his hungry tummy making a ruckus.On other days, he would be watching his mommy start eating the dinner he had prepared.Regrettably, this was not the case right now, as it looked like his mommy would not be returning to night, either!He was too lazy to prepare a meal, so he simply microwaved the pizza from the fridge. He had the food delivered this afternoon but did not find the time to eat it then. He found it delicious.As he munched happily on the pizza, his heart was filled with grievance
“I did that on purpose? What did I do on purpose?” Weston feigned innocence. His lips curled into a mischievous smile as he knew what she was getting at; in fact, he found her frightened look rather adorable.There were some women who, besides having attractive features, had especially charming eyes, and she was one such woman. Even when she was glaring, one could easily mistake it for a petulant look, which was extremely alluring.His eyes gradually clouded over, and as though she had cast a spell on him, his fingers unknowingly reached out to touch her face.She coldly avoided and slapped his outstretched hand, angrily exclaiming, “Drop the act! Why did you drive so fast?! Don’t you know that it’s dangerous?”He furrowed his brows in fake remorse and refuted, “You told me yourself to be quick. I drove fast because you were in a hurry.”He cleverly shoved the blame on her with an innocent look, as if she were the unreasonable one.If any of his subordinates would see this, they would
At this moment, in the hospital ward, Li Hanlin, who was sitting on a stool by the bed, placed his phone down.Beside him, the Youyou whom he said to still be ‘unconscious’ and was ‘not in a very good condition’ was calmly and silently sitting in bed reading the news.Youyou set down the newspaper and folded his arms after he saw him end the call. He leaned on the headboard and glanced at him sharply. His dark, large, and watery eyes fluttered, and he asked him the moment he put down the phone, “What did she say?”“I hung up. She’s probably on the way here!” Lin Hanlin. Youyou hugged his arms and nodded solemnly. Silently, he laid out equations after equations in his head.The car stopped at the hospital entrance to drop off Yuna first; Weston quickly followed along after he had parked the car. She ran all the way to the Inpatient Department.The moment she entered the department, she took out her phone to call Mr.Hanlin, only to realize that it had run out of battery!In a moment of c
Everyone turned their heads at that, only to see a well-built, adult man leaning against the door with an expressionless face. A faint disappointment was written all over his god-like, handsome face.As soon as she noticed him, she intuitively hung her head low in shame.Nasi opened her eyes as well. In fact, she was long awake and was just pretending to be asleep.When she heard the ignorant crowd siding with her mother in taunting her adopted sister, she felt good inside.The man’s flat voice caused her to wake up in shock.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man at the door. Why was the CEO of Dice Group here?!When Lisa saw him, she completely froze, as if she had been struck by lightning.With her keen eyes, she noticed that his features were identical to Youyou’s.Actually, they were far from just ‘identical’. Those eyes, that high nose bridge, and even those thin, beautiful lips – they were exactly the same as Youyou’s!How would she believe it if one were to tell her
“Oh, my, Shishi, this is a big matter. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? When did you start dating Master Azhe…” Everyone could hear the vexation in her voice despite the smile on her face. “Then, Shishi, I’ll entrust your sister’s care to you!”“One million is too much for me, and I don’t have it!” Yuna refused without thinking, and then, after a brief pause, she coldly added, “Please get this straight; even if I have the money, I won’t help!”Lisa’s face stiffened at her adopted daughter’s immediate rebuff, and she almost turned on her.However, since the man was present, she could only suppress her anger. Turning to him, she pleaded, “Master, as you can see, Nana is Shishi’s sister, and we urgently need this money. What do you think about the 1,000,000…”Ignoring Lisa completely, Weston bowed his head toward Yuna and asked, “What do you think?”It was obvious that he was asking for her input with this gesture.There was no hiding the loving indulgence on his face. Clearly, as long
Mr.Shire sat on the bench in a huff. Incensed, he took one look at Nasi after slapping the bedside table and said, “Let her be! She has no dignity left, right? Since she’s so shameless, she doesn’t need to mend her face! She should’ve thought about her pride and her face beforehand! There’s nothing I can do now…”After a short pause, he said with much pain and resolve, “Lisa, let’s divorce! I can’t handle you as a wife or raise a daughter like yours!”There was a deafening silence in the room.Everyone was shocked.His daughter covered her mouth in absolute fright as unabated tears rolled down her cheeks, while Lisa’s face crumbled at the mention of divorce.…Youyou was reading the newspaper while leaning against the headboard when he heard scurrying footsteps drawing near. He had always been on high alert, so without further ado, he threw the newspaper aside and quickly lay down in the bed while sending a signal to his agent through his eyes.The little lad played sleep with his eye
“Mommy, why didn’t you come home for two days?! I was scared of being alone…”Youyou lay his small face on her shoulder. His tiny lips opened and closed, letting out a youthful voice that was crying and trembling incessantly. He sniffled with his hoarse but tiny voice; anyone who heard this would surely have a heartache.“I’m sorry,” Yuna wailed.“I forgive you,” Youyou cooned. “But who is this behind you?”Yuna had no clue that Youyou already knew of the man’s identity in reality, so when the little lad asked about him, she was at a loss on how to reply.How should she introduce the father to the son? Should she say ‘Youyou, this is your daddy’? Surely, the child would freak out.For six years, she had not once divulged any information pertaining to his biological father to him. If she were to bring up this subject suddenly and tell him that he had a father all along, her child would naturally have issues accepting this fact.Once she realized this, her face sank. She subconsciously
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
