"Miss Wen, do you have any plans for tonight?" ng Qi sat next to Wen Jiao, the distance between them ambiguously close.
Bian Yue drank her tea expressionlessly, watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, her peripheral vision catching Ah Si standing timidly to the side, and wondered how soone who ca from a variety show seed to have no clue about handling such situations.
Wen Jiao, however, didn’t act like an outsider. She provocatively lifted ng Qi’s chin, sizing him up with her gaze.
"What do you think I should plan for?" Wen Jiao tossed the question back to ng Qi.
"I’ve heard that there’s a starlight cinema on the top floor of Honey, I’d like to watch a movie with Miss Wen," ng Qi said with an innocent expression, "Miss Wen wouldn’t reject , would she?"
Wen Jiao took a sip of her drink, lightly patting ng Qi’s face, her voice casual, "Oh, then you should get cleaned up and wait for at Honey. I’ll co over later."
Bian Yue almost choked on her water.
ng Qi, on the other hand, was overjoyed, repeatedly agreeing, afraid that Wen Jiao might change her mind, and he quickly left.
Bian Yue leaned her head on her hand, looking at Wen Jiao: "You’re really not pretending even a little bit now, are you?"
"Who doesn’t like goodies delivered to their door?"
Wen Jiao shrugged indifferently, "The creed I live by now is that life is ant to be enjoyed to the fullest!"
Bian Yue nodded, "Then enjoy yourself fully. Oh, by the way, I’ll need the detailed information about Red Mountain and Huanyu before work tomorrow, ask your assistant to have it prepared for ."
Wen Jiao got up slowly, smiled at Bian Yue, and winked, "Sure, I’ll get going then. If you need anything, just let know."
Bian Yue instructed her driver to co to pick her up and only then did she realize Ah Si had been standing by, not leaving.
Bian Yue frowned, "Where do you live?"
Ah Si blinked nervously, his face flushed red, stamred, "I... I live in the direction of Picnic Bay."
Such a familiar na.
Bian Yue rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
She looked up again at Ah Si, her gaze slightly probing, "With a personality like yours, how did you even debut in a variety show?"
Ah Si smiled shyly, embarrassed, "My character was set as a ’mute beauty’."
Bian Yue was impressed.
"Alright, I know. You take a taxi ho by yourself. You can report to the office tomorrow." Bian Yue thought about it, Picnic Bay was a bit far after all, a newly debuted idol like him may not have much money, "Reimburse the fare, and make sure you’re safe."
"President Bian, I have money, I just got paid five hundred thousand last month," Ah Si waved his hand, "I can take a taxi ho by myself."
"Alright, head ho then."
After Bian Yue finished speaking, she got up and walked away.
She hadn’t gone far when Ah Si followed her from behind.
"President Bian..."
Bian Yue turned back, puzzled, "Is there sothing else?"
"President Bian... are you really... really not going to let stay?" Ah Si said this with a look full of hope in his eyes.
Bian Yue frowned, "I’m married."
"I know! President Bian, don’t worry, I will behave myself and won’t interfere with your family!" Ah Si hurriedly said, "Please give a chance, President Bian!"
"You artists from Red Mountain are all so..." Bian Yue paused, struggling to find the words to describe them and instead decided to be blunt, "I don’t plan on having an affair with you, sleeping in my bed won’t help, I only care about talent. That’s all I have to say, now you should go back."
Ah Si’s eyes turned red, and at those words, he firmly grabbed onto Bian Yue’s wrist.
The corridor counts as a public place; a pale-skinned, handso boy not willing to let go of one’s hand is indecorous no matter how you look at it.
Bian Yue had a headache and deeply regretted not asking Wen Jiao to take both of them away earlier.
She looked down at the anxious face of Ah Si and said in the calst and kindest voice, "Are you trying to harass by doing this?"
"President Wen took ng Qi away, why can’t President Bian take ?" Ah Si, like an abandoned puppy, had completely dropped his earlier restraint at the dinner table and was now pleading with all his might, "President Bian, I just want to continue to have a good ti at Honey."
"You can stay well at Honey without getting into my bed." Bian Yue’s expression was serious, sincere, stressing again, "Ah Si, I really only look at ability."
Truly a chicken-soup-for-the-soul kind of statent.
Those who study believe that ability speaks; however, those who have seen all walks of life understand that sotis choice is more important than ability.
Ah Si was not willing to give up on clinging to Bian Yue’s powerful support; under Wang Dan’an’s polite courtesies just now, Ah Si had already seen that this woman’s status was extraordinary.
"President Bian, do you think I’m not handso enough? Which part of do you think I should fix?" In a flurry, Ah Si’s other hand touched his face, his eyes showing a sense of being shattered as he trembled, "President Bian, as long as you give a chance, I can do really well."
They were in a stalemate, unaware of the man and woman who had abruptly stopped at the corner.
Zhuang Jie Ning stood beside Li Sihe, seemingly astonished at the scene unfolding before her.
"Isn’t that Bian Yue? Who’s that young boy with her?" Zhuang Jie Ning said in surprise: "When did Bian Yue start... Hasn’t she been married?"
Li Sihe was silent, his gaze firmly fixed on Ah Si holding tight to Bian Yue’s wrist.
A fleeting sharpness passed through his eyes.
"I’ve heard that there are too many newcors in the entertainnt industry lately, each one wanting to stand out; there are many who actively offer themselves for fa," Zhuang Jie Ning continued, noticing that Li Sihe was still silent, she sighed lightly, "I wonder if Mr. Shen knows what Bian Yue is up to outside..."
Before she could finish, Li Sihe had already turned and walked away.
Zhuang Jie Ning chuckled inwardly, then followed him.
While Bian Yue finally brushed off Ah Si’s hand.
"How about this," Bian Yue sighed, speaking in a deep voice, "Wait for at the company tomorrow, and I will talk to you about your developnt."
"President Bian, are you planning to..." Ah Si’s eyes lit up.
Bian Yue almost laughed, "Do you really want to be my kept man?"
Embarrassed, Ah Si grinned and with flushed cheeks said, "President Bian is good-looking."
As a sugar mommy, there was nothing to fault Bian Yue for, a top-tier white and wealthy beauty.
Unable to suppress a chuckle, Bian Yue nodded, "Thank you for acknowledging , now go ho. We’ll talk more tomorrow."
Only then did Ah Si finally leave reluctantly.
Sitting in the car, Bian Yue saw Ah Si standing not far away, hailing a taxi.
With Red Mountain leaving ng Qi and Ah Si to Bian Yue and imdiately withdrawing all their team mbers, seeing an idol with millions of fans taking a taxi alone on the side of the road, with a mask on, was rather heart-rending.
Bian Yue sowhat understood why Ah Si was so eager.
After all, without resources, re popularity isn’t enough; without backing from a powerful supporter, one’s career could be on the line at any mont.
"Tomorrow, arrange for nanny cars for both of them," Bian Yue said indifferently.
In the sa car, Zhuang Jie Ning sat next to Li Sihe.
Zhuang Jie Ning spoke, her voice filled with puzzled concern, "Who exactly was that man just now? If Shen Jinci finds out that Bian Yue and that man were entangled in the hotel, won’t it hurt Bian Yue?"
Li Sihe, who had been silent all along, finally spoke with a calm and indifferent tone, "Then let’s not let Shen Jinci find out."
