Chapter 603

The atmosphere in the car quickly fell into silence.

After discovering that Li Yitong, this seemingly cute little kitten, had claws especially sharp, Yang Tianbao maintained her facade of composure.

At least she hadn't torn the mask off yet~

Of course, she was sitting in the back seat, secretly rolling her eyes at the other girl—her expression could be as fierce as she liked, since she didn't turn around, no one could see.

But staying silent right now actually meant she'd conceded a little.

The evil little kitten understood the principle of not chasing a desperate enemy, and besides, this Yang Tianbao clearly didn't even qualify as a real rival—she had no need to fight so viciously and turn herself into a shrew.

Catfights usually come with the trait of killing a thousand while losing eight hundred; once the mask is ripped off, no one can preserve dignity.

Just give her a warning, let her know she's not to be trifled with.

Don't flirt in front of this kitty!

Yang Tianbao:

She had never doubted her own charm, only felt unlucky.

Why does it always happen like this?

Back in Japan, before Na Zha appeared, her good friend "Miao Zong"—that is, Ni Ni—had stepped in to ruin her chances.

This time, Miao Zong wasn't here, but an even worse evil little kitten showed up.

This string of misfortunes made her wonder if she'd started running bad luck since her divorce.

Is there any way to "ward off bad luck" with a little good fortune?

Bai Liang: There is, bro, there is!

But unfortunately, whether it's "warding off bad luck" or "blessing an object," these were Yang Tianbao's own goals—not the process in between.

She had always intended to achieve this exact outcome; she couldn't reverse cause and effect.

Perhaps precisely because of Bai Liang's faint aversion, he always seemed to "refresh" opponents capable of single-handedly resisting women like Yang Tianbao.

Previously it was Ni Ni; when Ni Ni proved insufficient, he directly "summoned from the void" Na Zha.

This time, the evil little kitten, resolute and utterly unimpressed by the so-called top female star title, clearly had sufficient combat power.

After all, you can't count on Dudu and Zhou Ye, can you?

One needs to take notes in advance, the other is literally a five-strength zero.

Sure enough, Note-girl and Five-Strength-Zero showed up shortly after.

Less than ten minutes after Bai Liang's car arrived at the celebration venue, Chen Duling and the others, who had retreated slightly, also arrived.

These two girls seemed to have already clashed on the way, their faces now frozen—cold stares locked onto cold stares, neither speaking to the other.

But upon seeing Bai Liang, they instantly "made up," smiling.

Yet upon spotting Yang Tianbao again, both girls completely lost their composure.

Their gazes toward Bai Liang now carried something strange and peculiar.

"Senior, you're not serious, are you?"

Of course, Dudu wasn't the only one with that strange look and expression.

Wu Jing and others who arrived later also couldn't hold it together upon seeing Yang Tianbao.

"Bro Liang, awesome!"

Wu Jing slapped Bai Liang on the shoulder, genuinely raising his thumb, shaking his head in awe.

The way he called him "Bro Liang" was utterly sincere.

Unlike back when Bai Liang had smashed his face into the sand—that time, he'd just been physically crushed, and "Bro Liang" had still carried a hint of teasing.

But this time, it was total, complete, heartfelt submission—prostrate before him!

He instantly made a decision inside his heart: from now on, he would never be any kind of rival to Bai Liang.

This bastard truly knows how to kill with words!

The craziest part? He probably didn't even mean to~

Having known Bai Liang this long, Wu Jing knew this guy never hid his closeness with girls.

Which time had he ever brought a girl out for drinks without being open about it?

In private, he never even tried to conceal anything.

And yet Yang Tianbao appeared here, and Bai Liang treated her only with courtesy and politeness—clearly, they weren't that kind of couple.

But this woman showed up anyway—at the worst possible moment.

Undoubtedly, either she'd completely broken with her ex-husband and was crazily trying to make him suffer,

or she was just flirting unilaterally.

It's also very possible she was doing both.

But whichever it was, it was just insane~ Who knows how much psychological trauma Xiao Mingge will suffer when he sees the trending topic tomorrow?

She lost the award, and even part of her male dignity along with it.

"Let's take a photo together?"

At this moment, Yang Tianbao, having pretended to socialize around the room, approached Bai Liang and held up her phone to request a photo.

But Bai Liang replied: "Of course we can take a photo, but let me be clear—you can't post it on Weibo."

"Girls take pretty pictures to post, of course! Are you asking me to keep them for myself to admire at night? Mmm~"

Yang Tianbao grinned in protest, while subtly—though unmistakably—flirting.

Admire them at night?

The phrasing was so loaded it could be translated as "I'm going to stare at our photo and mine for ore."

Bai Liang: Mining's fine, posting on Weibo is not.

He didn't mind if older sisters or young ladies used his photos for some kind of automated fantasy—after all, plenty of people did that already; one more, Yang Tianbao, wouldn't make a difference.

Even the top performer in this area, Evil Little Kitten, has done this plenty of times—what else were her custom props for?

But taking photos isn't some deep grudge between Bai Liang and Teacher Huang.

Unless they were competing for an award, the two weren't even rivals.

Of course, others might think they hate each other, since Teacher Huang "stole" Bai Liang's Hundred Flowers Best Actor award.

This seriously slowed Bai Liang's pace toward a Grand Slam.

Even Sister Yanzi says so—after the Hundred Flowers Awards, she too deployed plenty of internet trolls to smear Teacher Huang.

But this is just ordinary industry competition, nothing unusual.

Bai Liang has no reason to actively cooperate with his ex-wife to undermine him over people's respect.

Teacher Huang doesn't deserve this.

Still, Yang Tianbao clearly seemed energized today, and while Bai Liang, Evil Little Kitten, was off socializing, she kept pestering him.

It's just a photo—nothing like taking risqué pictures—how hard could it be?

"Sister Baby, shall we take a photo together?"

At this moment, Dudu couldn't hold back anymore and decided to intervene to "save" her senior, refusing to let him sink further into the "Cao Cao" scandal!

"Of course, of course, let's take one together! Then we'll take individual couple photos—wow, Dudu, you're so beautiful today!"

Although Yang Tianbao had been repeatedly pushed around by others near Bai Liang, she was no rookie in the industry.
