Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me Chapter 41 : Why Do You Hate Me? (1)

Chun Yao’s manager approached Shen Jingwei hastily.

"Hello, hello, please allow to introduce myself. My na is Xu Chengjiu. Excuse , young man, may I know your na? Who is your manager?"

"Can we skip the formalities and just shoot now?" Chun Yao glared at her manager. "I am in a hurry here! None of you can find a handso guy and he was just standing right outside my door! If this is not fate, I don’t know what is!"

Shen Jingwei pulled his lips into a winning, but stiff smile.

Shang Ruohai flashed him two thumbs-up.

Since all preparations save for the male lead were complete, the MV shooting went quickly and smoothly.

By the end of the shoot, Chun Yao was absolutely smitten with this handso guy she found outside the door.

Manager Xu couldn’t help but lean closer to Shang Ruohai and asked, "Mr. Shang, sorry for the interruption but is this person by chance a new recruit?"

Shang Ruohai humd to himself and furrowed his brows slightly.

"I don’t think so."

"Oh, so he is probably an oldtir with low popularity then. What a pity, with that handso face..."

Manager Xu rubbed his hands together expectantly.

"If he agrees and is willing to switch under , I can help him beco a big star under the heaven."

Shang Ruohai cackled, but he did not bother correcting Manager Xu’s misperception.

"You can do everything, Manager Xu," he even boosted the manager’s confidence a level higher.

The MV shoot wrapped up within three hours. At the end of it, Chun Yao was all smiles.

"So tell , what’s your na?" She asked Shen Jingwei with eyes sparkling like two diamond stones under the sun.

"Shen Jingwei."

Chun Yao’s smile froze.

"Co again?" She said through her teeth.

Shen Jingwei bead at her.

"I said, my na is Shen Jingwei."

The entire building shook visibly when Chun Yao’s bloodcurdling scream was heard from the basent.

The three n managed to cover their ears in ti before their eardrums were blasted by Chun Yao’s scream.

"Top singer at CNC Studio," Shang Ruohai told Shen Jingwei. "You understand."

"I do," Shen Jingwei replied.

"You... You, you, you!!!"

Chun Yao raised a trembling finger at Shen Jingwei.

"Why are you even here? You deceived ! I want security! SECURITY!"

Chun Yao did not need to wait long, because five security guards were already on their way when they heard the ruckus downstairs.

"Miss Chun Yao!"

"Miss Chun Yao, is everything alright?"

"Did anyone bully you?"

Chun Yao quickly burst into tears. She pointed at Shen Jingwei.

"It’s this person, wuwuwu... He deceived , wuwuwu... I have been wronged..."

Shang Ruohai cleared his throat and stepped in front of Shen Jingwei, shielding him from the security guards.

"Gentlen, there is a misunderstanding here. Miss Chun Yao, how did Mr. Shen deceive you? Were you not the one who offered him the job?"

"Yes, but...!"

"Were you not the one who asked Manager Xu to skip all formalities?"

"Yes, but...!"

"Then, what right do you have to claim that you have been wronged?"

Chun Yao’s lips started quivering, but Shang Ruohai was not done yet.

"If anything, you owe Mr. Shen a heartfelt apology along with the salary for the good job he did while shooting your MV."

A good manager Xu Chengjiu was, he quickly intervened before Chun Yao burst into tears.

"Aiyah, everyone, we are all familiar with each other. Must we treat each other harshly? Co, co. Let’s talk everything out in the eting room."

The security guards left in utter and complete bewildernt.

Manager Xu ushered everyone into a eting room. Chun Yao imdiately went to sit in the corner and sulked. Her trembling shoulders suggested that she had been bullied by the three n, including her own manager, who refused to give in to her demands.

Shen Jingwei shot Shang Ruohai and Manager Xu an apologetic look.

"I am sorry, but... Can I talk to her alone?"

The request inadvertently made Manager Xu inhale sharply. Shang Ruohai, on the other hand, patted him on the back.

"It’s fine. Let’s go, Manager Xu."

"But... but, Mr. Shang..."

Manager Xu clearly was reluctant to leave Chun Yao with Shen Jingwei alone.

"I said, it’s fine. Co on."

Shang Ruohai started dragging Xu Chengjiu out of the room, not without the latter throwing concerned looks at the pair.

Shen Jingwei went over to Chun Yao and sat next to her with a sigh.

"I am sorry if I hurt your feelings," he said softly. "I did not co here to deceive you. I rely wanted to know why you hated so much."

"I still hate you," Chun Yao raised her head and snapped at Shen Jingwei fiercely. Close-up, she almost looked like a younger version of Feng Jietang’s lion.

"You said that I was handso," Shen Jingwei pointed out. "You liked my face enough that you didn’t even want to know my na beforehand. You insisted that I feature in your MV and that we comnce with the shoot as soon as possible. But when you rejected , you said that you could not stand my face."

Chun Yao let out a small whimper and buried her face in her arms.

"Please," Shen Jingwei said with the tone he often employed to win over the ladies at the Handso Butler Coffee Shop. "If I have hurt you in any way, I would like to know when and where. I never let any debt go unpaid."

Chun Yao scowled.

"You didn’t hurt ," she slowly said. "But you did hurt my Big Brother Yan. I will never forgive you for that."

"..."

Shen Jingwei stared at her for a while before suddenly rembering when and where he had heard her na -- Chun Yao.

"But Emperor Yan is straight, isn’t he? Besides, I heard that he was dating that singer, Chun Yao!"

Shen Jingwei smacked himself in the face.

Suddenly, it all made sense now.
