C111 (2/2)

Tang Xiao Yi was so embarrassed that she was about to faint. She really wanted to ask herself what was wrong with her world, why did so many devils break in?

Tang Xiao Ai's fingers were trembling. She could not accept such a thing. It was not just a matter of her personality being conservative or not, but she could not find a way to deal with the dark side of Zhong Yuqing's face. He only felt that he was very weak, like a helpless baby that was being manipulated by powerful people at will.

”Listen, next Friday, when the sun comes up, you'll be my lover.” Zhong Yuqing wasn't satisfied at all, but seeing her expression as if she wanted to hang herself, he restrained himself with difficulty. He didn't want to scare her too much right now.

”Also, don't even think about avoiding me. I've already given you a week to prepare mentally. If you're still unable to adapt or find other excuses …” Zhong Yuqing smiled and pulled her up like a good lover. He arranged her messy clothes and said, ”When you beg me, I might not agree to let you go to bed.”

Tang Xiaoyi was at his mercy as if she had lost her voice.

After helping her tidy up her clothes and hair, Zhong Yuqing kissed her swollen lips before opening the car door for her. He was still like a gentleman: ”Go back and rest early. See you next week.”

He didn't know when, but Lan Yi had already parked his car on the tree-lined path beside Esco. So when Tang Xiaoyi turned around, she saw Escrow's building.

Tang Xiaoyi's legs were weak, and she didn't even know how she got off the car. She only saw Little Zhao hurriedly run over to pick her up after receiving Lan Yi's call.

Lan Yi knew his boss's character, so after he came back, he circled around Green Gardens International. He felt that the ”chat” inside was not over and stopped by the roadside to wait.

After Tang Xiao Ai got out of the car, she stuffed her hands into her pockets, afraid that someone beside her would notice. She nervously walked back to her room and immediately washed them with disinfectant.

The ice-cold water reminded her that everything that had just happened was real. Tang Xiaoyi looked at the words in the mirror. Her lips were swollen like a flower petal, and the flush on her face had yet to completely fade. Would the assistant notice her change?

Don't let anyone find out. What's next? Can you turn to Qin Junning for help?

To put it bluntly, Qin Junning and Zhong Yueqing were brothers, and had a relationship with her as a landowner and a worker. Wasn't it clear that he wanted to use her as cannon fodder?

And why did Zhong Yuqing want her to be his lover?

If he had said that he would be her ”girlfriend” back then, Tang Xiaoyi wouldn't have been so conflicted.

Would it be enough for those rich and powerful men who never needed real feelings, just a momentary feeling of the body?

Qin Junning was in a rather bad mood, because during the opening ceremony, Tang Xiao Yi had been drifting about.

He was also unable to give a clear reminder, so he could only wait for the media to disperse and for the ceremony to end before blocking Tang Xiaoyi's path to her dressing room. He coldly asked: ”What happened to you today?”

Tang Xiao Ai kept thinking about why Zhong Yuqing had chosen her. She acted as though she hadn't heard Qin Jun's angry words.

”Tang Xiao Ai, return me to my soul!” Qin Junning slapped his hand on the makeup table, causing the makeup box on the table to shake. The makeup artist immediately slipped to the side as well.

”Huh?” Tang Xiao Ai's soul returned back to her body as she turned her head and looked at the angry face of Qin Jin Ning.

”Let me ask you what's wrong, why is your condition so terrible today! The questions that the media asked you were all answered in a mess. Are you doing this on purpose? ” If not, this woman would be able to make a big joke out of him. ”When they asked you about your impression of the male lead, you actually didn't follow what you said earlier, saying 'who's the male lead'. How could you let the male lead, Shao Kun, sit by your side, endure this?”

He didn't even have a chance to exchange a glance. Even when the media was asking who the male lead was, she was still confused as to who the male lead was, causing the director to have a black line and the male lead to have an awkward expression. The host and he hastily tried to smooth things over, but this sneer was simply too cold for him.

In addition, Qin Junning also noticed that Tang Xiao Yi was constantly rubbing her hands, as if she didn't know where to put them. She shouldn't have this kind of injured and elegant action, as the usual etiquette teacher had already taught her how to maintain her beautiful image.

”Sorry, maybe I didn't sleep well.” Tang Xiao Yi rubbed her temples and closed her eyes, trying her best to shake off the memories of last night, ”Can I take half a day off?”
