Chapter 112: Being Led Around by a Bad Woman

"Another one wanting to run off. What is wrong with this company?"

Looking at the worried expression on Nazha, Bai Liang was a bit curious: "Are you a shareholder in your company?"

"No~"

"Then why are you fretting over this? If you want to run off later, I'll give you some pointers."

Once Bai Liang said this, he felt something wasn't quite right; it felt a bit like he was setting up Sister Cai.

Then he shook his head. "Ahem, you can ask me, but I can't take the initiative to give you pointers or entice you to become a rogue ninja."

Nazha blinked. "Is there a difference?"

"The principles of how a real man conducts himself are not something a little girl like you needs to understand."

"Sounds so impressive, 'a real man'~" Nazha beamed like a flower. Although she didn't really understand, she loved chatting with Bai Liang about these things.

Actually, most of the time she wasn't that slow, but when it came to Bai Liang, she didn't really like to use her brain.

The happiness and joy gained this way seemed all the more pure.

Unfortunately, happy times are always fleeting.

Before long, the Mango TV staff notified them to continue recording the show.

Before leaving, Han Dongjun looked at Bai Liang with admiration. "Great Immortal, you're the one who's truly awesome!"

"I thought you were going to say it was all my fault."

This made Han Dongjun instantly freeze, because he felt it made a lot of sense.

Damn it, wasn't it because of this kid Bai Liang that all this turmoil started?

Tang Ren used to be so harmonious, like a "big family."

It was only after he snuck in that it caused people's hearts to waver.

The First Sister wants to fall in love, the Second Sister wants to snatch a man from the First Sister, the Third Sister... let's tentatively say Chen Yao; she's relatively quiet and the most well-behaved, but I always feel like she's holding something back too.

Glancing at Bai Liang with resentment, Han Dongjun felt his Dao heart had shattered.

This guy was indeed the "culprit," yet he had that uncanny ability to make others unable to bear blaming him.

In the end, he could only choose to pour a few more drinks for Bai Liang when they ate after recording.

Fortunately, the show was recorded "without incident," and even Jin Cheng and Nazha didn't show any signs of conflict afterward.

This left everyone incredibly curious!

How did they manage that?

Those two girls were nearly at the point of tearing each other apart in public, yet they could inexplicably calm down.

However, this matter really couldn't be brought out into the open. Even when Han Dongjun secretly asked Jin Cheng what was going on, she just gave a cheeky smile: "Isn't it fine for me to play the minor role?"

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of alcohol sprayed out; he really couldn't hold it in.

"Are you for real?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm joking. Where's your brain?"

Unable to get an answer and having his intelligence insulted, Han Dongjun could only let the bitter wine slide down his throat, his heart aching, as he drank gulp after gulp.

He didn't manage to drink Bai Liang under the table, but he ended up getting himself muddled.

"Poor guy, being led around by a bad woman," Bai Liang remarked with some emotion.

"Who are you calling a bad woman?" Jin Cheng leaned in close to him. She smelled slightly of alcohol, but mostly she smelled fragrant.

"You, of course~"

As Bai Liang spoke, he looked at Nazha with some curiosity, and after looking over, she actually smiled at him.

Huh?

How strange.

Turning his head to look at Jin Cheng again, a very "that kind of" thought suddenly popped into Bai Liang's mind.

That is... what level is this little lady Jin Cheng actually on?

After this series of maneuvers, the content she wanted to convey to the other company colleagues was successful; this would definitely reach Cai Zong's ears.

At the same time, because of her later explanation, she had also built up a good image with Nazha.

Just now, she was almost touching Bai Liang, but Nazha, who could have been triggered by a single word earlier, showed no emotional fluctuation at all.

It seemed she still thought... Jin Cheng was still "in character."

If that were really the case~

Bai Liang "gasped," a Best Actress is actually by my side?

Halfway through the drinking, Nazha helplessly got up to say goodbye; she had to rush back to the hotel to remove her makeup and rest.

Because she had to rush to a gig early tomorrow morning, she figured she'd have to get up around four.

If she didn't go back to rest now, she'd probably only get an hour or two of sleep.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to come over early, and now I have to leave first."

"It's fine, work is important, you earn more money." Bai Liang was quite understanding of the girl in this regard; how important is earning money!

"Huh? Why do you always encourage me to earn more money? What about you?"

Nazha finally spotted the blind spot and asked curiously.

Bai Liang was also very honest. "I've spent all my money~ Who knows, I might have to rely on you in the future. Keep it up."

After his first installment of the acting fee arrived, he immediately paid the final balance for his custom RV, and the remaining money basically went to Yanzi. The next time he'd have income would probably be after *Weiwei* finished filming and he started taking on endorsements.

But even if he earned money, given Bai Liang's spending habits, it probably wouldn't last long.

Poor at the third watch, rich at the fifth; seeking only brilliance, not eternity—this was the portrait of his life.

To be precise, it was eternal brilliance.

"You can even say such a classic line about being a kept man?"

Jin Cheng seemed to have had a bit too much to drink; she giggled and leaned on Bai Liang's shoulder, teasing him.

By this time, Nazha had already slipped away, which seemed to make her even more uninhibited.

"Any high opinions?"

Bai Liang didn't "dislike" her as much as before; instead, he lowered his shoulder a bit to make her lean more comfortably.

"You say, if I earn a lot of money in the future..."

Halfway through the sentence, it became unclear; this didn't seem to be said to Bai Liang, but rather she was talking to herself.

This book was recently updated on ##!! Update!

However, Jin Cheng didn't seem too drunk; Bai Liang hadn't smelled much alcohol on her until now.

Only some fine sweat on her neck, which instead had a peculiar fragrance.

Who knows what cosmetics or skincare products had marinated into her.

A girl who is willing to spend money and effort on herself—if thrown into ancient times, eight out of ten would be Fragrant Princesses.

"Brother Bai, can you help me? He's too heavy..."

When the drinking session ended, Han Dongjun's assistant asked Bai Liang for help.

How could a little girl move a 1.82-meter-tall man like him? Fortunately, Bai Liang hadn't left yet.

"Fine, I'll handle him, you go call the car and wait at the entrance."

"Thank you so much! Sorry for the trouble, Brother Bai."

"We're all staying at the same hotel, it's just a small favor. How did this guy drink so much?"

"I'll come help too," Jin Cheng said, standing up.

"You're not drunk?"

"A little, but I'm still quite clear-headed now. I'll probably crash once I get back; I'm sleeping until noon tomorrow!"

Jin Cheng shook her head, feeling she was in a good enough state, and went over to assist Bai Liang in getting Han Dongjun up.

Drunk people are very troublesome; usually, one person really can't handle it because they have no strength, and their body just slides down like a noodle.

Fortunately, Bai Liang had enough strength and easily got this guy into the car without even breaking much of a sweat.

And Jin Cheng, while saying she was helping, was actually curiously poking Bai Liang's arm with her finger. "Your muscles are quite developed~"

"You little female hooligan."

"You male succubus!"

At this moment, Jin Cheng's train of thought seemed to sync up with Li Yitong's across the air.

Bai Liang couldn't be bothered to bicker with her. After sending Han Dongjun back to his room and telling his assistant to keep an eye on him, he prepared to go back to take a shower and sleep.

But just as he stepped out of Han Dongjun's room and hadn't walked two steps, a big black shadow suddenly darted out from the room next door.

Just like the first time he met Jin Cheng, she bumped right into his arms.

"What the hell are you doing?" Bai Liang supported her to keep her from falling.

"Checking to see if you're using the belt I gave you~"

"I'm using it. After all, there's no other sucker who would give me such an expensive thing. But luxury goods aren't very durable; if it breaks one day..."

"Then I'll give you another one."

"It's a deal."

The conversation ended there. Jin Cheng lowered her head and hooked Bai Liang's belt, seemingly wanting to check if the quality of the luxury belt was really that bad.

After fiddling for a few seconds, she looked up at the moon outside the corridor.

Her voice suddenly became very small as she said, "Who knows when we'll see each other next."

"We're both in Shanghai; can't we just make an appointment to grab a meal?"

She shook her head and didn't speak.

Fate is inherently thin and faint; often it's just light dust and murky water, with no future meetings.

At this moment, she just pulled hard, seemingly wanting to drag Bai Liang somewhere.

Behind her was only an open door.

Behind the door, of course, was a room with a bed and a bathroom, where one could take a shower and have a beautiful sleep.

Bai Liang finally took a step forward.

And Jin Cheng seemed to have returned to normal, her familiar tiger-wolf words slipping out: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to whip me with this belt?"
