Where is Lele?\" Ceng Xiangyi asked, looking behind Li Yiquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"She had something to do and went out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You didn't go with her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"……Mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, fine. Retreating to advance, retreating to advance. But, girl, being cautious about a case is a good thing, but if you're too cautious in matters of the heart... once you miss something, you might never have a chance to make it up! I actually hope you—would be impulsive for once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"……\" Li Yiquan didn't reply, went upstairs, and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That look of panic and timidity she gave him before answering the phone at noon had left him uneasy, so he followed her to check. He naturally knew Wu Ming, but he didn't think she was panicked because of him. After Wu Ming left, he weighed his options and finally prepared to knock on her door to check on her, only to see her leaving with her bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't follow, because he knew she wouldn't want him to.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Happy……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele rushed to the airport with her shadow-like bodyguard, only to find out upon inquiry that Wu Ming had changed to an earlier flight. He Lele, who had already intended to visit C City, bought a ticket without a second thought. The bodyguard's ticket was purchased by himself and would be reimbursed by Season later; she didn't bother to be coy about such things, hurriedly passed through security, and waited for the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>C City was a famous tourist destination, with unique architecture and landscaping. But sitting in the taxi, He Lele had no interest in sightseeing; she was considering how to explain her appearance once she met Season and Qin Zhixiu later……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Here to see Ruan Lin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before she could even speak, when Season received her call and came down to the first-floor lobby of the TV station to meet her, his first sentence killed all her drafted excuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mr. Wu Ming came to find me at noon and left his phone behind.\" He Lele struggled at least a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's go, I'll take you over; they're in rehearsal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Season's calm tone seemed like tolerance after seeing right through her. Looking at his tall, straight back, He Lele hesitated for a few seconds. When he stopped and turned to wait for her, she looked at his still handsome and dashing eyes, walked up, and took his large hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His handsome brows jumped slightly, and Season looked down at his hand in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\" A moment later, gripping the small hand in his, Season smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He…… was gradually beginning to understand what Mu Wei meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if there was heartache, even if there was reluctance, he was feeling a little bit more satisfied and at ease. If he hadn't taken this step, what would the consequences have been? Let her suffer and cry in his entanglement? Or give her up and return to a dull, boring life?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Holding her hand to his lips for a light kiss, he glanced sideways at her surprised and shy, sweet appearance. A dash of indescribable, free-spirited charm appeared on Season's handsome face, causing those who saw it unintentionally—regardless of gender—to instantly forget their words and actions, as if frozen in place, only waking up after he led He Lele past.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who was that just now? An actor? I don't think I've seen him before? His temperament is so… special……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Actor, my foot! That's Qin Zhixiu's manager, the top-tier ace agent in the industry, Season from Muse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah… he really has such a great temperament! A truly top-tier rich and handsome man! I'm so envious of his girlfriend……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright! Stop being a fan girl. In this industry, you'd better stay calm no matter what you see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then, Sister Zhang, weren't you also stunned just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, you little girl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Studio 1 of the C City Radio and Television Station, according to the schedule, the rehearsal should have ended by now, and it was time to arrange for the audience to enter for the official recording. However, the studio was strangely quiet. Seeing this, Season took He Lele directly to the backstage dressing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just after greeting Qin Zhixiu, a staff member from the TV station came over to ask for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Young Master Season, look, could you please help persuade him? Brother Lin is really in no state to record. If he's still like this when the audience enters later, and they post it online, we really won't be able to control it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Got it, I'll go over in a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Young Master Season! Thank you, Young Master Season!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Not at all, we've caused you trouble. Please take good care of Muse's artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Young Master Season is too polite! Too polite! I'll head out first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"……Ruan Lin, what happened to him?\" He Lele asked hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Season tilted his chin toward Qin Zhixiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Zhixiu peeled a mandarin orange and handed it to He Lele. \"He hasn't had any expression since he appeared. He follows the blocking and says his lines as required, but he just… has no expression at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Standing outside Ruan Lin's dressing room, He Lele held Wu Ming's phone, her hand raised for a long time without knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Season simply knocked for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wu Ming opened the door and his eyes lit up the moment he saw He Lele. \"Ruan Lin, Miss He is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without waiting for He Lele to react, Wu Ming looked at the phone in her hand, thanked her repeatedly, and took the opportunity to step outside, half-pushing and half-guiding He Lele into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Turning her head to watch the door close behind her, He Lele didn't dare to turn back for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Feeling someone approaching, He Lele finally turned her head back; the man's broad chest was already inches away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan—mm… you, don't be like this…\" A frantic kiss landed on her lips, on her cheeks, on her earlobes, on her neck. Her shirt was torn open like window paper, her hands were pinned behind her back, and her entire body was lifted by the man and pressed against the wall—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man finally stopped his savage assault but still pressed her tightly against the wall, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his sturdy body trembling slightly but rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"……Is your seven years of persistence worth so little? Aren't you the most professional one? You endured for seven years, and now you're going to give up completely? Then what does that make me, the 'chamber maid' created just so you could better play the 'perfect gentleman'? A joke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man's trembling intensified, causing her body to go slightly numb as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ruan Lin, don't make me look down on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a long time, neither of them spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Season opened the door and entered, he still saw the scene of Ruan Lin pressing He Lele against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let go. Don't make me kick you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Taking off his coat and draping it over He Lele, Season signaled for Qin Zhixiu to take her out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? Too afraid to even speak to her?\" Glancing at the pain and struggle on Ruan Lin's face, Season said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Afraid that if you open your mouth, you'll tell the truth and be damned forever?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Get out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll get out, of course. I'll go to her side, hold her, and love her. And you? Going back to the country to be your mine owner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You're courting death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't have time to fight with you. I just hope you think clearly about one question—if knowing the truth will only cause her pain, why would you tell her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The mistake you made can no longer be undone. Your pain is what you deserve, but do you want her to suffer again? Maybe even suffer for a lifetime?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His fists were clenched tight, veins bulging with rage. Ruan Lin suppressed a cry of pain, but couldn't stop the bone-chilling shivers racking his body. He knew, he knew it all! He knew he had committed an unforgivable mistake! He knew what the result would be if he spoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the first time, he realized how cowardly he was! Afraid of every sunrise, every ray of light, every sound, every person! As soon as he opened his eyes, it seemed everything he saw was mocking him—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She will hate you for the rest of her life!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She will never forgive you!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She will only ever have hatred for you, never love!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She could never fall in love with you!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A silent wail escaped from Ruan Lin's slightly parted lips. Season stared at him silently. After an unknown amount of time, he took a key from his pocket and placed it on the vanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Figure out what you want most. Don't think about or do anything else that's unnecessary. Some things… just let them rot in your stomach; for you, that is the best punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Season finished speaking, the sound of a light slap came from outside the door, followed immediately by someone's exclamation—\"Weiwei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A big chapter for you~~ Yes~~~ Ruan Lin is about to be dragged into the fire pit~~ cough cough~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I know some girls think the plot is dragging~~ but Jiangshan is very clear-headed~~ every sentence in the posted text has its purpose~~ if you take it out~~ something is missing~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some of the characters' psychology~~ it loses its flavor if it's too blunt~~ girls, you might as well savor it slowly~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally~~ as I said before~~ NP is a technical job……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Love you all!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 256: Let Go Quickly\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Season and Ruan Lin rushed out of the dressing room, they saw a man standing sideways to them, grabbing Du Wei's hand and pushing her toward Du Mei with a slight force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you alright?\" Without looking at Du Wei, Season carefully checked He Lele's face and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm fine.\" He Lele glanced at Ruan Lin on the side and replied softly to Season.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The stylist had helped her borrow some clothes, and just as she had finished changing, a staff member came to ask Qin Zhixiu to go over the script. She had waited in the dressing room for a while, but ultimately couldn't let go of Ruan Lin's situation. Who knew that as soon as she stepped out, she would bump into Du Wei, who was also going to go over the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why are you everywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele didn't want to get entangled with Du Wei and was just about to retreat back into the dressing room when Du Wei glanced at the nameplate on the door and stepped across to block her path.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Du Wei first looked up and down the corridor, and seeing no staff around, she looked at He Lele with cold, disgusted eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>",1817,"2026-06-14T03:55:59.415Z","2026-06-17T08:39:51.626Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6ae47a32e5a04134b1ee47a8509bcb1835e604563bf67bb147de90f31ca99ba2","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-235","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-233",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
