Chapter 285 - Bai Qis Agenda (1/2)

Chapter 285 Bai Qi’s Agenda“Assistant Qi, are the newspaper reports true? Is Qingsi serious about that woman?” An Ru had come straight to Stars Entertainment to seek verification. She didn’t even make a stop at home first. The way An Ru saw it, Wan Qingsi wanted to marry Ying Xin because of all the benefits he would obtain out of the marriage. That An Ru could accept, so long as she was the only one he could truly love.

Qi Xiu nodded. “Yes, they’re accurate.”

“Impossible!” An Ru’s voice turned several octaves higher. “How could he have feelings for someone else?”

“An Ru, watch your behavior,” Qi Xiu said with a frown. “You’re a celebrity represented by Stars Entertainment. You’re just another one of our celebrities, do you understand?”

When Wan Qingsi stepped out of the elevator, he saw An Ru standing outside the door of his office.

“Qingsi!” An Ru ran towards him. “What’s your relationship with Mei Jing?”

Wan Qingsi brushed past her and headed straight into his office. An Ru followed him inside. “Qingsi, why won’t you tell me? Are you too afraid to tell me?”

“An Ru,” Wan Qingsi said, loosening his tie. “I don’t owe you any explanations.”

“But what about us…”

“Us? What’s there between us?” Wan Qingsi shot her a mocking look.

“You didn’t reject me when I confessed my feelings to you in public!” An Ru yelled angrily. “Besides, I’m the only one who gets to call you Qingsi.”

“Are you stupid? Why should I bother rejecting you when you’re literally nothing to me? If you want to act like a lunatic, then go ahead. That’s your business, not mine. As for my name…” Wan Qingsi’s cold gaze swept across the room and landed on An Ru’s face. “Have I ever acknowledged you when you called me by that name?”

An Ru visibly blanched. She stared at the man before her with a look of utter disbelief. “But, but back then, at the bar, you told me how beautiful my singing voice was. You said that you’d turn me into a famous singer…”

“How do you think you got to where you are today? Surely you must know just how much money Stars Entertainment had invested in you?”

An Ru covered her face. “You really feel nothing for me? Nothing at all?”

“Don’t flatter yourself.” Wan Qingsi mocked, rising to his feet. “Who do you think you are to deserve my affections?”

“And Mei Jing deserves your love? Isn’t she just using you to climb to fame?” An Ru glared at Wan Qingsi, her eyes dripping with venom. “I want to see her! I want to see for myself what right she has to be with you!”

Wan Qingsi brushed past An Ru. “She has the right because of my feelings for her.” Wan Qingsi opened the door, pausing at the doorway. Then, he turned around and gave An Ru a warning look.

“I suggest you see a psychiatrist. There’s a name for your current behavior. It’s called delusional disorder. It’s best if you have your mental condition treated before it affects your career. Also, you’d better behave yourself while you’re here and focus on what you came here to do. Sing your songs, release your albums, or whatever. But don’t ever let me find out that you’re involved in petty schemes behind my back. Or else…” Wan Qingsi trailed off for a moment, and then added, “Just know that if I can make you popular, then I can also destroy you.”

Watching Wan Qingsi leave the room, An Ru felt her knees grow weak and she fell limply to the floor. All this while, she had thought that she was this man’s true love.

She still remembered that night at the bar. He was the only one who had taken her performance seriously. When her performance ended, he had walked over to stand beside her and said, “You sing very well. Do you want to be a star?”

An Ru had been captivated and beguiled by those profound eyes right then and there. It was like someone had cast a spell on her and she had no control over her body when she nodded her head at his question. After that, she became a singer for Stars Entertainment; in fact, it didn’t take very long at all for her to make a name for herself.

“So all this while, he never had feelings for me…” An Ru rose to her feet. Then, she chuckled darkly. “So what? It’s fine as long as I have feelings for him.”

She had worked so hard in her singing career for Wan Qingsi’s sake. Now she was supposed to just give him up to some little girl? Like hell that was going to happen. An Ru readjusted her clothes and made herself presentable. After that, she strode out of the office with her head held high.

It didn’t sit well with Wan Qingsi that Ah Sha was at home alone. He made a quick trip to buy the cake that Ah Sha enjoyed and arrived home before three o’clock. The moment he stepped out of the elevator, however, he saw Bai Qi standing at their doorstep.

“Your house is pretty hard to track down, Boss Wan!”

Wan Qingsi frowned and set the cake on the ground. His actions made Bai Qi laugh. “I didn’t come here to fight. You don’t have to act so edgily.”

“Yeah, you didn’t come here looking for a fight. You’re just here to murder someone, that’s all,” Wan Qingsi retorted without once taking his eyes off Bai Qi.

Ah Sha had probably heard Xunxun’s voice from inside the house; her voice was heard from the other side of the door a moment later, “Xunxun? Are you home?”

Bai Qi pinched his nose and then did a sh*t job of mimicking Xunxun’s voice. “Oh, yeah! I’m home!” For several seconds, no sound came from the house. Then, Ah Sha opened the door. An I-knew-it look formed on Ah Sha’s face when she came face to face with Bai Qi.

Xunxun hurried towards Ah Sha. “Why did you open the door if you already knew it was him?”

“What are you doing here?” Ah Sha pointed at Bai Qi’s arm. “Want me to cripple the other one, too?”

“Hey, hey. Like it or not, I’m your house guest. Shouldn’t you be inviting me in?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. How can you call yourself a house guest where you’re here to assassinate me?” Ah Sha blocked the doorway with her wheelchair. “Speak. State your business here.”

Bai Qi winked at Ah Sha. “Are you sure you want me to say it in front of him?”

“Come in,” Xunxun said all of a sudden.

Ah Sha turned her head around and gave Xunxun a confused look. Xunxun stroked her head and picked her up from the wheelchair. Then, he carried her all the way to the couch.

Bai Qi walked in and then strode around the house as if he owned the place. After that, he took the seat across from the pair.

“Allow me to formally introduce myself. I’m Bai Qi, professional assassin!” The man’s face no longer looked pale. In fact, now his skin tone looked just like that of any other normal person. There he sat, regally, like a young man of noble descent.

Ah Sha gave him a dirty look. “So?”

“So I want to know whether I should call you Mei Jing?” There was a pregnant pause. “Or Ying Xin?”

A murderous glint flashed in Xunxun’s eyes before it quickly disappeared. Xunxun’s eyes looked normal again when he patted the back of Ah Sha’s hand comfortingly.

“I don’t think you’re hesitating to make a move because of Ah Sha’s true status.” Xunxun smirked. “If my guess is correct, you’re hesitating because you need our help!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wan Qingsi, a.k.a Wan Laoda, a.k.a Xunxun, a.k.a Ken. With so many names, others all think that you’re just a weak sissy who relies on the Ying family for power. Nobody knows how dangerous you really are.”

“You know, you should give me a tour of the Wan family’s base if there’s a chance,” Bai Qi said, his eyes sparkling brightly. “I’ve always wanted to check out the infamous base of your family which, apparently, not even the army could breach.”
