Chapter 353

He Lele rolled her eyes. "Stop dreaming, you have no chance. Caesar will be back in a couple of days; you'd better get ready to be a bride!"

"Pfft, I don't want to marry her."

"Really?"

"Alright, alright, today I'm the one interrogating you! Give me an honest account of your romances with this bunch of top-tier men!"

"……I should say, my initial interactions with them weren't very pleasant." He Lele glossed over the details as she briefly recounted how she came to accept the four men.

Ren Lingyu watched the soft, contented smile on He Lele's face and remained silent for a long time. Although she felt the process of the men falling for Lele sounded a bit rushed, she could clearly sense from the way they looked at Lele and the tone of their voices today that they truly, deeply loved her.

Even though she felt sorry for her Master, seeing Lele looking so peaceful and happy now, she could only offer her blessings.

"What about Producer Shentu Mo? Everyone else fell for you, was he completely unaffected? That doesn't seem right, does it? Didn't Producer Shentu Mo come looking for you at my place last time? He seemed to have—"

"Lingyu," He Lele looked at Ren Lingyu and said sternly, "I have no relationship with him whatsoever. Not now, and certainly not in the future. You know that the thing I hate most is someone like him—naturally cold-blooded, cruel, and someone who tramples on others at will!"

"Mm, I know. But… has he ever done anything to hurt you? Otherwise, given your personality, it's impossible for you to loathe someone this much. Could it be—" Ren Lingyu suddenly remembered, "Last time he didn't pursue the matter of me hacking into Muse, you traded something with him, didn't you? Lele! Answer me!"

"……No, you're overthinking it. What could I possibly have to trade with him……" In a panic, He Lele couldn't help but dodge Ren Lingyu's gaze.

"……Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll go ask him myself!"

"Lingyu!"

Ren Lingyu rushed out of the room and headed straight for the elevator, but as a guest without authorization, she naturally couldn't even open the elevator doors.

"Lele! Open the elevator!"

"Lingyu, you really are overthinking this! Last time, last time it was Seeing Ji Jie who stepped in, really, believe me! Seeing Ji Jie and Producer Shentu Mo grew up together, and you didn't cause any serious consequences, so Producer Shentu Mo would still give Seeing Ji Jie some face, really! You don't know……" He Lele thought rapidly about how to convince Ren Lingyu, "Producer Shentu Mo doesn't really like sweets, but ever since they were kids, if Seeing Ji Jie ever annoyed him, all Seeing Ji Jie had to do was buy him an ice cream, and he'd immediately let it go!"

Ren Lingyu still looked at He Lele suspiciously.

"It's true! Producer Shentu Mo might be cold-blooded to everyone else in the world, but when it comes to Seeing Ji Jie, he's absolutely beyond reproach!"

"……If that's really the case, then I should thank him in person." Although she believed most of it, as long as she thought the truth might be that Lele had sacrificed something to trade for her safety, she couldn't just let the issue slide so easily.

"Lingyu!" Tears welled up; He Lele was trembling with near-terror. If Lingyu found out, she would blame herself for the rest of her life! No, this wasn't the outcome she wanted!

"Ding!" The elevator doors suddenly opened. Producer Shentu Mo, wearing only a bath towel, walked out, ignoring the two of them, and headed toward the storage room.

"Mr. Producer Shentu!" After a moment of shock, Ren Lingyu hurriedly called out.

"Lingyu!" He Lele never expected Producer Shentu Mo to come down at this time! Why did he have to come down! Why! Was he born just to torture her?

"Lele! If I don't ask, I will never have peace of mind in this life! Mr. Producer Shentu, regarding the Muse hacking incident last time, I am very sorry, but I want to know why you didn't hold me accountable!"

Producer Shentu Mo stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around, only tilting his head slightly. "What do you think?"

"Producer Shentu……" He Lele pleaded with a sob, but how could she make Producer Shentu Mo understand what she meant?

"Was it because of Lele?" Ren Lingyu asked with difficulty.

"……What else?"

He Lele shuddered violently.

Ren Lingyu's face turned as pale as paper.

"She asked her man to let you go, so you had to be fine." After saying this, Producer Shentu Mo continued walking toward the storage room.

Only then did He Lele hear the sound of her own heart beating violently in her ears!

Ren Lingyu closed her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, Lele. It's not that I didn't believe you; I, I was just afraid you'd do something foolish for my sake."

"Heh, hehe……" He Lele tried to laugh. "You think too highly of me. He's the Crown Prince of Muse; what kind of beauties hasn't he seen? With my looks, even if I stripped naked and took the initiative to seduce him, he wouldn't even deign to glance at me!" He Lele said, deliberately exaggerating.

The sound of Producer Shentu Mo's footsteps returned, and the two women fell silent and stepped aside.

Twisting a bottle of red wine in his hand, Producer Shentu Mo walked slowly toward the elevator, his fit and alluring body half-naked. As he passed the two women, his handsome eyes, devoid of glasses, glanced at He Lele, seemingly at random.

The bath towel slipped.

Both women gasped in unison.

Producer Shentu Mo didn't change his expression as he bent down to pick up the towel, wrapping it around himself nonchalantly before stepping into the elevator.

"So big!" Ren Lingyu muttered under her breath the moment the elevator doors closed.

He Lele had a face full of black lines.

"Lele."

"Mm."

"I have a feeling." ===== CHAPTER 354 =====
