Chapter 49

The moment He Lele appeared, the man by the bed, Ji Jie, furrowed his brows deeply. But upon seeing the hangover soup in her hands, he shut his mouth with a cold face, turned, and sat on the sofa, lighting a cigarette with irritation.

"Mr. Qin, hangover soup. Drinking it will make you feel a bit better." He Lele placed the tray on the nightstand.

Qin Zhixiu lay half-reclined on the bed, looking at He Lele, then at Ji Jie. With the characteristic lethargy of someone who had been drinking, he undid the top two buttons of his shirt down to his chest, slightly revealing a sliver of skin.

"Is it bitter?"

"……Maybe just a little."

"You take a sip first."

He Lele didn't understand why, but she picked up the spoon and took a sip—

"Mm……"

The moment the broth entered her mouth, the rich aroma of alcohol rushed over her. Her waist was pulled into an embrace, her lips and teeth were rudely invaded, and all the liquid in her mouth was savagely swept away by the sudden aggressor.

After a long while, Qin Zhixiu finally released He Lele and glanced at the gloomy-faced Ji Jie. "There, it's not bitter at all now."

Was he drunk or sober? He Lele wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth, her heart full of confusion. "I'll go change the spoon."

"No need, just feed me. Or are you unwilling?"

He Lele looked at Qin Zhixiu before her, speechless. She didn't know if it was her imagination or if Qin Zhixiu developed another personality after drinking. At this moment, the corners of his eyes and brows carried a seductive charm. His fair, tender, jade-like face was flushed with a spring-like glow, his long neck had elegant, fluid lines, and his half-unbuttoned shirt revealed a sexiness that was both hidden and exposed, inviting one to peek.

"Qin Zhixiu!"

"Hm? Aren't you going to find Shentu? Go ahead, and help me close the door on your way out." Qin Zhixiu looked down at He Lele and continued to undo his shirt buttons.

"……You're doing this on purpose to piss me off, aren't you? I told you to stay away from this woman!" Ji Jie angrily crushed his cigarette butt and glared fiercely at He Lele. "I've seen plenty of women, but I've never seen one as cheap as you! You want to get into any man's bed? Get out!"

"……" She hadn't met many men, but he was the second one to speak so harshly.

He Lele held the spoon and was just about to turn and leave when Qin Zhixiu grabbed her arm and pressed her onto the bed.

"Don't move." Qin Zhixiu supported himself with one hand by her ear while using the other to undo his belt, yet she clearly saw that his exceptionally beautiful eyes were—perfectly clear.

"Qin Zhixiu!"

"Call me Qin Zhixiu. Weiwei doesn't like others calling me Zhixiu." Qin Zhixiu paused, then turned his head to look at Ji Jie. "If you won't let me do what I want to do, I have no choice but to do something you don't want me to do. That's fair."

"You……"

Seeing Ji Jie still hesitating, Qin Zhixiu lowered his head to kiss He Lele's ear, his long, beautiful hand that had been undoing his belt now reaching into He Lele's shirt.

"Sorry." Hearing the extremely low volume of Qin Zhixiu's words by her ear, a flash of realization hit He Lele, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. This guy was actually using Ji Jie's hatred for her to force Ji Jie to submit!

"Enough!" Ji Jie finally stepped forward and pulled Qin Zhixiu away. He glanced at He Lele on the bed with extreme disgust and said helplessly to Qin Zhixiu:

"I get it. Rather than you being so bored that you'd sleep with a woman like this…… I'll get you a role, and at the same time, let you see clearly whether that woman is worth you getting drunk so many times!" Finally, he roared at He Lele, "Didn't you hear me tell you to get out!"

He Lele stood up. "Do you still want the spoon?"

Qin Zhixiu smiled slightly, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. "Thank you." A double entendre.

He Lele took the bowl, looked at his smile gently, and the corners of her lips curved into a crescent-like arc as she shook her head lightly.

Ji Jie stared at He Lele's figure with resentment until she completely disappeared from the room, yet the irritation in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. This woman was making him angrier and angrier!

"This girl is quite interesting." Qin Zhixiu said as he took off his shirt and walked toward the bathroom.

"Interesting?"

"How many young girls have you seen with her temperament? From beginning to end, her heart is like still water, calm and composed, indifferent to favor or humiliation?"

Bullshit! Ji Jie glared over with annoyance. "Like still water"! That's just because you haven't seen her when she's wild!

The scene of her and Ruan Lin's passion in the elevator flashed through his mind, and Ji Jie's breathing grew heavy…… Damn it, just because of those two! It made him furious whenever he saw an elevator now!

☆, Chapter 52: The First Mistress

He Lele lay on the floor mat with her back to the bed. Despite being tired all day, there was no sleepiness in her clear, bright eyes.

Tonight…… it seemed to be the first time since she entered the apartment that all five owners were home for the night. What was the date today? Ruan Lin's new film press conference…… she remembered it was the 5th. From July 15th until now, it hadn't even been a month, yet why did she feel like so much time had passed, so long that she could barely remember how she used to live?

This couldn't go on.

She couldn't lose her own life entirely because she was exhausted from this job. Even if it was just half an hour a day, she had to reclaim her own…… personal space.

She got up quietly, looked at Mu Wei on the bed, tiptoed downstairs to get her laptop, straightened the blanket on Mu Wei, and sat on the rattan chair on the balcony.

She looked at the tutorials she had collected, put on her headphones to listen to soothing pure music, and when it was almost half an hour, she hesitated slightly before opening the NG forum.

In the middle right of the forum was the chat room micro-window. There seemed to be many night owls online at this time. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
