Chapter 2033

Seaside afternoon tea outdoor restaurant.

The carefully groomed Tan Du sat opposite Qiao Yu, smiling and saying, "This is the first time we've sat down to talk calmly after an argument."

"Xiao Yu, can we have a good talk today?"

Qiao Yu glanced casually at the few cameras beside him, knowing without thinking how many insults were aimed at him in the bullet comments.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Jin Chen seated not far away, and a hint of a smile finally appeared in Qiao Yu's eyes as he decided to settle things quickly.

"There's nothing to talk about; I'd rather show you what I brought than chat."

Qiao Yu had casually grabbed a gift bag when he left home today, and even the Program Team thought it was just a date gift prepared for Tan Du.

But when that report was laid out in full before Tan Du, his flustered expression finally surfaced.

"The cake you made was tested and said to contain wheat bran; I also have a test report here with the real data—do you want to see it?"

Tan Du stared blankly, his mind only managing to ask: "Where did you come from?"

"So you're not denying that the cake contains an aphrodisiac." Qiao Yu said in a cold tone.

"... No, I mean, you might have tested the wrong thing, Xiao Yu, you have to believe..."

"Then how do you explain these photos?" Qiao Yu pushed the second set of photos over.

"There are fifteen photos in total, each showing you cheating with a different person—do you need me to verify each one with their agencies?"

Tan Du was utterly flustered, as if stabbed, and dared not look at those unbearable photos.

Qiao Yu remained relaxed: "I'm actually glad the influence wasn't deep, and I had no contact with you."

Otherwise, even a rebirth would be enough to make him feel disgusted.

: Damn…

: Really? Ahhhhh Mai Ai Si! Tan Du cheated with so many people?!

: Holy shit, holy shit, I think I saw several familiar celebrities, and maybe a few… rich kids just messing around?

: Dirty man!! Tan Du is so disgusting, his fans dare to say it was Qiao Yu who cheated!

: Was Tan Du's deep affection all just an act? Ugh

At that moment, the director's room was in an uproar; Director Li shouted to cut the live broadcast quickly, but discovered the staff weren't cooperating at all, instead all turning to look backward.

Director Song, called back, snorted coldly: "You're really stupid—just for Tan Du, you've managed to offend both Qiao Yu and Jin Chen at the same time."

Director Li realized something, ran out frantically, and called the Chief Executive Officer of Radiant China Entertainment.

In the restaurant, before Tan Du could react, a third item was placed on the table.

"This contract is also a gift prepared for you." Qiao Yu said.

Tan Du's eyes twitched, nearly losing his voice: "A termination contract?!"

"No, it's a breach of contract."

Qiao Yu leaned back, his innate arrogance allowing him to keep Tan Du's head down even in this posture.

"As a shareholder of Cloud Joy Group, I remind you that you haven't followed the signed contract's terms to meet the artist's standards; if you don't pay the breach fee, Cloud Joy Group will sue you."

"Tan Du, you accepted them with a clear conscience, then quickly cheated with others and secretly bought ads calling me a vampire—you don't even deserve them."

At the moment he spoke those words, Qiao Yu, dazed, seemed to sense the shattering of the protagonist's halo, instinctively glancing at Tan Du before withdrawing with a tease.

As it turned out, what Jin Chen said was true.

He didn't need to fear such 'force majeure' at all; Tan Du, having lost his past life's resources and protection, was nothing.

"No… you can't do this to me!"

Tan Du rose angrily; just seeing the string of zeros in the breach fee made his expression distort.

If he were burdened with a huge breach fee, how could he smoothly enter Radiant China Entertainment?

"Qiao Yu! Don't you have any fault at all, you…"

Thud!

The two bodyguards who rushed in from outside pressed Tan Du, leaving him unable to move an inch.

Qiao Yu looked at him wearily, yet his tone remained calm, "You're really shameless, even now you still want to drag me into this."

: What!!! Is Qiao Yu really the young master of Yunle Group??

: Holy shit, Qiao Yu has been called a bloodsucker for so long, but Tan Du is the most shameless one!

: I'm dumbfounded, how could there be such a disgusting person.

: Quickly check Weibo! Yunle Group's official finally spoke up! They even tallied the resources poured into Tan Du over the past two years, only to have Tan Du buy black PR to frame Qiao Yu as a bloodsucker.

: There's also audio and video proof! Tan Du not only cheated but even went to see prostitutes!

: Ahhhh, nobody noticed that the studio providing the audio and video evidence is the law firm frequently used by the Jin Ying Emperor!

: It gave me another mouthful of the hot romance ship!

: Look, the storyboard suddenly appearing on Jin Ying Emperor's side! He's also here accompanying Qiao Yu!

All the black hot searches about Qiao Yu on Weibo didn't even need to be pushed down; they disappeared one after another faster than the next. The marketing studio bought off by Tan Du never imagined that Qiao Yu was actually the young master of Yunle Group.

Even Yaohua Entertainment, which was preparing to treat Tan Du as a cash cow, was unaware, only then realizing they had been used as a pawn.

The number of people rushing into the variety show livestream even reached an astonishing figure.

In the restaurant, Qiao Yu stood up and told the bodyguard, "Take him to the police station and report him for soliciting prostitutes."

"As for the rest, let him pay it back slowly."

After saying the last three words, Qiao Yu felt his whole body lighten, as if the final shackles had also vanished.

Qiao Yu walked toward Jin Chen with light steps, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

"Wow, amazing, our little Qiao!"

Jin Chen let him sit beside him, raised his hand to ruffle his hair, "Force majeure is gone, do you feel a bit happier in your heart?"

"Hmm." Qiao Yu replied.

All the evidence, except for the breach-of-contract contract that his cousin Lu Ziyan sent overnight, was prepared by Jin Chen.

In places he couldn't see, Jin Chen did a lot.

Just thinking that, Qiao Yu's heart pounded uncontrollably.

〖Today's Mission 1: Express gratitude to the mission target through concrete actions. 〗

Having just finished listening, Qiao Yu suddenly felt brave for a "justifiable reason," and somewhat affectionately embraced Jin Chen, giving a soft, careful peck at the corner of his lips.

"Thank you, brother."

Jin Chen chuckled, cupping Qiao Yu's face, "You're being cute again, Little Qiao Teacher."

Qiao Yu unexpectedly had his lower lip bitten, and he couldn't help but blush, feeling that he was indeed becoming a bit more affected.

But he is truly happy now, and also truly moved.

Like the happiness of finally eating ice cream on a sweltering midsummer day when the heat is unbearable and one is extremely irritable.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +8, total 58!】

Jin Chen's heart went soft at that bright, lively gaze, and he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Qiao Yu's lips.

Like a soft feather falling, it landed in Qiao Yu's heart, both itchy and sweet.

Jin Chen kissed Qiao Yu's reddened earlobe again, leaving words only they could hear.

"So, Little Qiao Teacher, when will you become official?"

"When will we be able to tear up the love contract and truly love each other?"

Qiao Yu understood the implied words, his heart fluttered suddenly, and he tilted his head to bury himself in Jin Chen's neck.

"I... I just need a moment to adjust."

"If we want to tear up the contract and become a real couple, he should still prepare to confess to Jin Chen."
