Song Song noticed sothing was off about him, those jet-black eyes overflowing with emotions she couldn’t comprehend—
She smiled and acted coy, "No, no, of course no one looks better than you. In my heart, you’re the best-looking. Be good! Rest early, we’ll see each other tomorrow, bye!"
After saying this, Song Song imdiately took off, afraid that soone might make her prove that she only has eyes for him.
Watching the departing figure, Xiao Jinghuai’s tense, handso face slowly relaxed, then he fell into deep thought.
She can protect herself now, but he couldn’t let his guard down.
Fortunately, she’s currently using Yan Mingxiu’s identity as a cover.
Afterwards, Song Song’s status within the Xiao Family didn’t change; she was still Xiao Jinghuai’s personal bodyguard. However, anyone with so insight could easily see that there was sothing... unusual about their relationship.
But because it was the family master’s affair, no one dared to gossip; everyone just minded their own business.
However, this matter soon reached Qiao Yu’s ears. Four years ago, the Qiao Family collapsed overnight. Qiao Yu had to enter the entertainnt industry, which she once despised, for her livelihood. Thanks to her beauty and clever tactics, she quickly established herself, climbing from a minor role to the position of a popular actress.
But she knew the entertainnt industry thrived on youth, and with rapid changes, it was only a matter of ti before she was replaced. Thus, it was not a long-term plan.
She had to find soone influential to rely on as soon as possible.
Many wealthy businessn extended invitations to Qiao Yu, and many were willing to marry her into a wealthy family as a Young Madam. But having seen the most composed n, these vulgar tycoons and second-generation rich kids were beneath her notice—
She was keenly aware that her ties with Xiao Jinghuai were dwindling, thus deciding to proceed cautiously without making any mistakes.
As things seed to be heading in a positive direction, she never expected to encounter a rival in love at this ti, let alone that the rival would be a man.
Qiao Yu sat in the dressing room, arms crossed, gazing at her reflection’s stunning face in the mirror, then picked up her phone to dial a reporter’s number.
——
An hour later, Qiao Yu and Song Song sat face to face in a private booth at a café.
She wore sunglasses while looking at the man in front of her, feeling as if a thousand ants were crawling within her—how much did Xiao Jinghuai despise her, preferring to be with an ugly man rather than accepting her?
"Mr. Yan, right?" Qiao Yu tried to maintain her elegance.
Song Song’s lips curled slightly, "What does Miss Qiao want from ?"
"How do you know my surna is Qiao?" Qiao Yu showed signs of vigilance.
Song Song smiled, "Of course, President Xiao told . He said no need for an introduction if Miss Qiao cos looking for him; she can et him directly. To President Xiao, Miss Qiao seems to be a very important person, so as his bodyguard, I ought to be mindful."
"..." Qiao Yu was montarily distracted, not expecting Xiao Jinghuai to care about her so deeply, inadvertently flashing a smile, "Brother Jinghuai is really good to ."
There was a flicker of deep light in Song Song’s eyes, "Then, why is Miss Qiao looking for today?"
"I just wanted to warn Mr. Yan, to keep your distance from Brother Jinghuai, you as an ordinary person don’t care about your reputation, but Brother Jinghuai is different; his every move is crucial."
Song Song laughed, "Can you be more direct?"
"I an you should leave Brother Jinghuai’s world, soone as filthy and lowly as you... is not worthy of earning Brother Jinghuai’s favor."
"Oh, I see!" Song Song replied nonchalantly, "I understand. Can I leave now?"
"...As you wish." Qiao Yu’s eyes glittered coldly, for she only needed this mont.
Watching the man’s figure disappear at the doorway, Qiao Yu’s lips curled into a cruel smile, "Whether it’s a man or a woman, those who wish to compete with her can only et a dead end."
