Chapter 185

The phobia had followed her for more than a decade, but the number of times it had flared up over the years wasn't many, because she had always tried hard to avoid attracting attention. Her mother had suggested she open an online store or something to make a living at home, but she didn't want to. She didn't want to have to isolate herself from the crowd because of this illness. She had nothing shameful, she liked to see the smiling faces of the people around her, liked to live in the sun—although sometimes, she had to hide herself.

"Mm, mm, ah... ah, so great... darling..."

Faint moans came from the depths of the garden. He Lele listened for a moment, and the blush that had just faded from her face quickly spread again. She was just about to get up and leave when she heard a somewhat familiar name in her ear.

"Darling... are you, mm... taken with that, Du Wei?" There were coquettish cries from the depths of the garden.

"What are you thinking? You are the only heroine in my heart."

"Ah... then, then why would Du Wei, would, ah..."

"She was arranged by Old Shi! Clamp tight!"

"Mm... Shi, Director Shi isn't gay? Ah... darling is going to break the little sister..."

"You lecherous little bitch! Move yourself! Du Wei said she could help Old Shi get the one he's been eyeing..."

"Qin—ah..."

He Lele's breathing stalled. She wanted to hear more details, but the two people having field combat in the garden had reached the final sprint stage and had no time to chat. Their moans made her heart feel chaotic.

Du Wei, Shi Gujin... she suddenly remembered that Jiji had also said last time that Shi Gujin was on the phone with Du Wei. Could it be...

Rustling, hearing the people inside seemingly tidying their clothes while teasing each other, He Lele quickly ran away carefully.

"Where did you run off to?" Jiji had been looking for He Lele for a long time. Seeing He Lele enter the hall from the side door, he stepped forward and held her hand.

He Lele hesitated to speak; after all, she couldn't be sure of anything.

"Let's go, go see your Prince."

Prince... Holding Jiji's arm, enduring the gazes of the crowd again, He Lele finally saw the Prince in Jiji's mouth.

For the first time, she saw Producer Shentu Mo wear a color other than black. A dark green shirt, black collar, red wine, slightly pursed lips.

"Young Master Ji, is this the newcomer you just signed?"

"Heh... Chairman Ji, when did you change your taste and like this kind of 'jade girl' type?"

"I think, it's not a newcomer, but a new love, right?"

He Lele looked around at the women surrounding Producer Shentu Mo. There were actually a few she knew: a supermodel-turned-fashion-designer, a well-known young female director, a veteran movie queen... That's right, without a certain status and position, how could they tease Jiji like this.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you all," Jiji glanced at a man walking from behind Producer Shentu. "Tonight, she will be Producer Shentu's partner."

☆, (16 Fresh Coins) Chapter 166: Breaking Through Again

Upon hearing that she was Producer Shentu Mo's partner, the beauties around Producer Shentu Mo actually showed meaningful smiles in unison. The female designer turned her head to look around, and as soon as she saw a young man walking behind Producer Shentu Mo, the interest in her slightly smoky-makeup eyes grew stronger. She nodded to Producer Shentu Mo and Jiji and walked away, and the other women also left after glancing behind Producer Shentu Mo.

He Lele followed the women's gaze—a young man with a square face and a very upright and atmospheric appearance was walking over with a glass of red wine.

Jiji snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He Lele looked at Jiji anxiously, then at Producer Shentu Mo, who was drinking with his eyes lowered, and reflexively grabbed Jiji's sleeve.

"..." Looking at her gradually pale little face, Jiji ignored the heartache in his heart. He had to make her give up on Producer Shentu! He leaned down and stuck to her delicate ear. "Go, the current you is not a maid, not an apartment manager, just a beautiful woman."

He Lele shook her head urgently. She didn't expect him to be serious! He really wanted to "help her" create an opportunity to pursue Producer Shentu Mo? Heavens!

Seeing this, Jiji didn't say anything else. He wrapped one hand under her elbow, lifted and pushed, and she was gently pushed into Producer Shentu Mo's arms.

With a beauty in his arms, Producer Shentu Mo was also sympathetic to the beauty, and took the opportunity to hug He Lele's slender waist. His thick black hair was neatly combed back, revealing his full, beautiful forehead. The deep black eyes behind the thin-rimmed glasses were lowered, staring at the rose-colored kiss mark on the back of her neck.

"Hi! Old classmate, haven't met you at a party for a long time. Have you been busy lately? I heard that Muse's leading little star hasn't been feeling well lately?"

Enthusiastic greetings, sincere inquiries, concerned questions—no matter how you listened or looked, this young man who suddenly appeared seemed like Producer Shentu Mo's old friend, but—everyone knew Xiao Sha wasn't just "not feeling well"!

Even though she snuggled into Producer Shentu Mo's body, trying to avoid the gazes from all directions, He Lele could still clearly feel the blood in her body surging and chaotic due to fear.

"Who is this young lady?" Regardless of whether Producer Shentu Mo ignored him or not, the young man asked He Lele with a smile.

He Lele didn't even lift her head, holding a cocktail that hadn't been touched, using all her control to suppress the fear and anxiety in her heart.

"..." Fan Siyi's smile didn't change, but a dark current slid through his eyes. She didn't even look at him? "Sorry, forgot to introduce myself, I am—"

"Mr. Producer Shentu, I, I want to go and touch up my makeup."

Producer Shentu Mo hooked a wicked smile and withdrew his hand from her waist.
