Chapter 273 - Let Me Touch You! (2/2)

Chu Yi sighed. He could tell that there was a good person in this girl before his eyes, someone with a lot of potential. With proper nurturing and guidance, without a doubt she’d become world famous, provided that she could resist the temptation to stray from the right path, of course.

“Just look out for yourself, then. I’ll be going now.”

After Chu Yi left, Xiao Hua said gleefully, “This is great, isn’t it? Now that they’ve all found out about your relationship with the young master, they’ll stop trying to suck up to Tang Yue.”

“Tang Yue?” Surprise flashed up inside Ah Sha’s heart. She had nearly forgotten about that person.

At the hospital, Tang Yue was reading the newspaper that Xiao Zhao held before her. In a sudden fit of strength, her hand rose in the air and she slapped the newspaper to the floor.

“Sister Yue! You can move your arm now?” Xiao Zhao yelled excitedly.

Tang Yue froze for several moments, and then a look of joy spread across her face. “I… I’ve recovered?” She moved both of her arms again and found that everything had returned to normal.

“Sister Yue! You’ve really recovered! Thank God. It’s alright now. Everything’s alright now!” Xiao Zhao ran to the door and yelled, “Doctor!”

Tang Yue gave the newspaper lying on the floor a death glare, several schemes already forming in her mind. Tang Yue refused to believe that she would lose to a girl whom Wan Qingsi had practically raised from a young age, let alone some girl who just appeared out of nowhere.

“Xiao Zhao, do me a favor and buy some snacks. After that, let’s head back to the movie set!”

Having finished removing her make-up, Ah Sha sat outside, waiting for the director to brief everyone on tomorrow’s schedule. Sounds of whispers filled her surroundings. Everyone was talking behind her back, and Ah Sha didn’t even have to think to know what they were all talking about.

As usual, Tian Yiyi, the imbecile that she was, had volunteered to become everyone’s cannon fodder. Tian Yiyi approached Ah Sha. “I really have to hand it to you!” she said in an odd tone.

Whenever she had to deal with strangers or people she didn’t give a crap about, Ah Sha would always put on a dispassionate front. That was why Tian Yiyi’s words didn’t incite any kind of reaction from Ah Sha. Beside Ah Sha, Xiao Hua snickered. “Miss Tian, I suggest you worry more about yourself if you have that much free time.”

“How dare you mock me, you little b*tch,” Tian Yiyi growled. Tian Yiyi had starred in several commercials as well as a TV series before, she, therefore, considered herself to be a celebrity. She had already been enraged before this but having a puny little assistant mock her in such a way was the final straw.

Ah Sha gave Tian Yiyi a look. “Everyone’s staring at you.”

Tian Yiyi scowled and was just about to say something when she caught a glimpse of the movie set’s entrance. All of a sudden, Tian Yiyi’s eyes sparkled. At the same time, a weird smirk formed on her face. “Yo, a certain someone thought she caught the big fish, huh? Now I’m interested to see if the big fish still wants you!”

Ah Sha followed Tian Yiyi’s gaze towards the entrance. She saw Xunxun walking in, and beside him… was Tang Yue.

By Ah Sha’s count, Tang Yue should have been fully recovered by now. And yet here she was, out leaping around as soon as she’d recovered. “She really hasn’t learned her lesson at all, has she?” Ah Sha thought.

Tang Yue greeted everyone the moment she walked in. “Come, everyone! I brought some snacks!” Tang Yue had a stellar public image and she had great social skills too. When everyone saw that she had been discharged, they all hurried over to greet her. Tian Yiyi gave Ah Sha a smug look and joined the others.

“Sister Yue, congratulations on being discharged,” Tian Yiyi said. Then, like a presumptuous smart-alec, Tian Yiyi looked at Wan Qingsi, who was speaking on his phone beside Tang Yue. “You really know how to make an entrance, Sister Yue. I mean, having the boss himself fetch you from the hospital? Wow. And I bet it was the boss who had bought these snacks.”

In her folly, Tian Yiyi had completely missed the stiff look that had taken over Tang Yue’s face. Not only that, Tian Yiyi had even begun to holler in Ah Sha’s direction. “Hey! Looks like we’re about to have another cast change! Don’t you think so too, Sister Yue?”

Wan Qingsi hung up the phone. Tian Yiyi was just about to greet him when he strode past her.

“Are you ready to go?” Wan Qingsi said, lowering his head so that Ah Sha was the only person who could see the warmth in his eyes.

Ah Sha stood up. “Mm, let’s go!”

Tang Yue forced a smile. “You guys have misunderstood. I only just ran into Boss Wan at the entrance.” Deep down, Tang Yue felt the urge to strangle Tian Yiyi to death. That foolish woman had completely ruined the big appearance that she had planned.

When Wan Qingsi and Ah Sha walked past the group of people gathered around Tang Yue, Wan Qingsi suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Qi Xiu.” he said.

“At your service, boss.” Qi Xiu said, running out from the back.

Wan Qingsi’s cold gaze landed on Tian Yiyi briefly before it moved away. Tian Yiyi’s face turned pale. She suddenly had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

“End our contract with Miss Tian once this movie is done.”

Tian Yiyi’s body swayed as a wave of vertigo crashed over her. “But boss!” she yelled, shooting a pleading look at Tang Yue. She did not expect the “serves-you-right” look from Tang Yue. Everyone else was watching quietly on the sidelines, not daring to make a sound. Panic rose inside Tian Yiyi. “You… You can’t end my contract. You have to pay me double the penalty fees if you do that!” she protested.

Wan Qingsi didn’t spare Tian Yiyi another glance. He turned his head to the side to look at Ah Sha. “Let’s go.”

“Okay!” The sh*t-eating grin on Ah Sha’s tiny face amused Wan Qingsi. “This girl is still trying to pretend!”

Once the two of them had left the movie set, Qi Xiu turned to Tian Yiyi and said, “Don’t worry. We can afford even ten times the penalty fee.”

Inside the car, Ah Sha felt Xunxun’s lips before she was even fully settled in her seat. A long, intense make out session ensued, after which Xunxun fastened Ah Sha’s seat belt for her. “Let’s go have lunch first. You don’t have any scenes to shoot this afternoon. I’ll help you move,” Xunxun said.

This time, they went to a restaurant known for its Sichuan cuisine. Ah Sha’s preference had always been for flavorful foods, she especially enjoyed spicy foods. This restaurant was hidden somewhere within a deep alleyway. Inside, they chose a table in a well-concealed private booth. Once they had taken their seats, Xunxun began to fill Ah Sha’s bowl with rice. “Before this, I allowed Tang Yue to act freely because I wanted you to see how she falls from the top, but she tried to harm you, I therefore no longer plan to keep her around.”

“No.” Ah Sha said without even thinking. “I’m not a child anymore. I want to handle her myself.”

Xunxun frowned. “What if you get hurt again?”

“She’ll never hurt me again, I promise!” Ah Sha said, raising her hand. “Last time, I slapped her too. So I’m not at a disadvantage!” There was a bright glint inside Ah Sha’s eyes. “Besides, she paid for what she did, right? She spent half a month lying in the hospital!”

In the end, Ah Sha resorted to a more physical method of persuasion; she threw herself at Xunxun which, of course, led to another bout of kissing and fondling by the man. It worked though. Xunxun agreed to let her deal with Tang Yue on her own. After lunch, they went to Ah Sha’s apartment to pack her bags, all of which they then moved into Xunxun’s home.

Ah Sha did not have the chance to check out the place. The man had trapped her back against the door the moment they stepped through. Ah Sha felt Xunxun’s warm breath tickling her ear before her earlobe was pulled in by his lips.

“Babe, let me touch you!”
