Chapter 104

"It's not bad. That assistant looks quite cute, very obedient and quiet."

"Is she your type? Go chase her! If you can snatch a woman from Chairman Ji's hands, you'll be a big deal!"

"...Why not? Uh... Brother Lin, sorry to disturb you."

Seeing the two gossiping staff members run away in a panic, Ruan Lin used all his restraint to steady his voice, "Sorry, I'd like to rest a little longer. Could I ask you two to come back in ten minutes?"

The two makeup artists looked at each other, nodded, and walked out past Ruan Lin.

Enduring the urge to smash the door, Ruan Lin closed it gently and closed his eyes deeply, letting the tearing pain spread wildly through his body.

The back reflected in the mirror was still majestic and upright, standing like a peak, firm as a rock, yet... just looking at it made one feel—heartbroken.

*Cough cough*~~ Orange Juice~~ Ruan Lin's second wave of water has gone down.

I went to report to my new job today~~ on a Saturday~~ miserable~ The most tragic thing is that the house isn't ready yet~~ now I have to spend two hours commuting to work~ *55555* what should I do if I always miss my stop? Help!!

☆, (7 Fresh Coins) Chapter 115: Playing a Bit Part

"Are you only starting to be afraid now?" Ji Jie took He Lele into his car and glanced at the slightly trembling He Lele.

Taking a deep breath, He Lele steadied her breathing. She wasn't afraid; her phobia of being watched had flared up again, and she hadn't recovered in a moment.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Jie turned to the side, looking at He Lele in confusion. He really couldn't understand how this woman could choose the most humiliating way to reject Ruan Lin.

He Lele didn't answer. After sitting quietly for a while, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, I'm going back."

"Going back? Do you not want your life?" Ji Jie grabbed He Lele, who was about to get out of the car.

"Mr. Ruan has a shoot this afternoon."

Ji Jie really wanted to slap his forehead, or pry open her head to see how it was constructed, "Do you know that Ruan Lin wants to kill you right now, or—" screw you to death!

Thinking of the latter, Ji Jie pulled He Lele back and pressed her into the passenger seat with force, immediately starting the sports car.

Although he was also a master of the love game, he had truly never dealt with this kind of situation. After thinking about it, Ji Jie simply took He Lele back to the hotel.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhixiu, wearing a simple hoodie, was half-lying on the sofa in the hotel suite's living room. Seeing Ji Jie bring He Lele in with a dark face, he sat up slowly and took off his headphones, asking.

"This woman... forget it," Ji Jie said, speechless, "You watch her first, so she doesn't go off to die." After saying this, Ji Jie went out again.

Looking at Ji Jie's back, He Lele sighed softly. Did he think she was ungrateful?

Maybe. But as long as there was even a shred of choice, she didn't want to have any more entanglements with them, so how could she accept their so-called feelings?

They just... wanted a convenient woman; whether it was her or not didn't matter.

"Come over and sit," Qin Zhixiu said with a faint smile.

He Lele returned a gentle smile and walked over slowly to sit down. If she had other choices, of course she wouldn't want to face Ruan Lin right now. For the time being... she would be an ostrich.

"Listen to this," Qin Zhixiu handed over the headphones.

He Lele put on the headphones. As the prelude grew from weak to strong, a soothing and beautiful piece of music, like the warm sun of an autumn day, slowly flowed into her ears.

It was... a warmth with a hint of coolness, like a beautiful young girl dancing in the drizzling rain, revealing pure affection in her stretches and turns.

So beautiful...

Unable to express it in words, He Lele could only look at Qin Zhixiu, who was as beautiful and flawless as a flower, in surprise.

"Do you like it?"

"Hmm!" He Lele nodded happily. Such a beautiful piece of music! "Did you compose it?"

"Hmm." Qin Zhixiu's smile was always very faint, just a slight curve of the corners of his mouth, but his incomparably beautiful and clear eyes would emit a hazy warmth because of his smile, making anyone who saw it soften.

An exquisite and beautiful face, a refined and elegant temperament, unparalleled talent, and a super-high IQ... God creating such a human being was clearly a strong malice toward the world!

She thought she could probably understand why Du Wei didn't accept Qin Zhixiu.

A man who was smarter, more talented, and more beautiful than herself, and who was also the idol of thousands of young girls—the pressure must be huge!

He Lele took off the headphones and returned them to Qin Zhixiu, "Just for this song, when your new album comes out, I'll buy at least two copies! My good friend is your loyal fan, and it would be perfect to give it to her as a gift."

Qin Zhixiu shook his head slightly, "This song won't be on the album."

"Why? Such a good song! Can't find suitable lyrics?"

"This is a duet... are you interested?"

"Me?" He Lele asked in surprise.

On the other side...

"Shentu, answer me one question first—why did you let He Lele be Ruan Lin's assistant?" Ji Jie leaned on the railing of the stairwell, talking on the phone while flicking cigarette ash.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Jie licked his lips, "Ruan Lin has also set his sights on that woman!"

"Hmm."

"...You knew? Damn! You knew and still let that woman follow Ruan Lin? Aren't you afraid Ruan Lin and Mu Wei will clash!"

"And so what? The filming of the movie is going smoothly; that's enough," he said in a tone as calm as it was indifferent.

"Hey! Do you have to be so cold-blooded? People will die! Do you know that today I originally... *cough*, anyway, I went to find her, and then Ruan Lin told me very clearly that he wanted He Lele. I didn't care, but guess what happened?"

"..."

"He Lele asked to hook up with me right in front of Ruan Lin! Tell me, is she not afraid of death!"

"...Where is she now?" Shentu Mo's voice was as composed and indifferent as ever.

"I took her back to the hotel first. This woman just wanted to go back to the set without fear of death; I really don't know if her courage is boundless or her brain is lacking."

"Send her over."

"...What did you say?"

"*Beep, beep, beep...*"

Second time, second time!

Asking me to send him a woman! Does he think I'm his lackey or a pimp? Why didn't I realize Shentu was such a beast before? Why am I so unlucky to have him as a childhood friend!

Ji Jie complained about his close friend while driving. When he arrived at the company's underground parking lot, he found himself even more frustrated—why did he listen so obediently and actually send the person to Shentu!
