Ye Meiqi lost her patience, and at the same time, Di Ming, who was standing some distance away, also grew impatient.
In a few swift strides, he appeared by Lu An'nuan's side, grabbing her wrist. "I've been looking for you forever, and you still haven't come over. You're actually still here playing this D-list character? Hurry up and come with me!"
"Huh?" Who are you?
Warm Warm stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Di Ming. She couldn't recall when she'd ever met such a handsome businessman.
Her mind was full of questions, but before she could voice them, Di Ming snapped, "What 'huh'?! Why didn't you answer my calls? You're not even famous yet and you're already acting like such a big shot. No wonder your man doesn't want you!"
Di Ming looked utterly disgusted, while An'nuan was even more bewildered. She tried to shake his hand off, but he held on so tightly that she had no idea what he was trying to do.
"I don't know—" she began.
"Shut up! Stop playing dumb and let's go!" Di Ming interrupted, grabbing An'nuan and starting to pull her outside.
In truth, he was also feeling anxious internally. His boss's instruction was that she shouldn't suffer any more grievances, but he hadn't said anything about revealing her identity. What if he blurted it out rashly and his boss was displeased later? Therefore, extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures.
Unfortunately, in a chaotic situation, mistakes are often made, even by someone as meticulous as him. After all, he had no experience handling matters of this nature. Especially when it came to the boss's wife—this was the boss's first wife! Oh no, wait, she was the first woman officially acknowledged by the boss. Who knew? Maybe she was even their boss's first love?
Di Ming's mind was a jumble of thoughts as he continued to pull An'nuan away. But Ye Meiqi suddenly laughed as if she'd discovered a new continent. "Lu An'nuan, you claimed you weren't doing private work outside the company, but now people are showing up for you. How do you explain this?"
"I don't know him!" Warm Warm forcefully pushed Di Ming away, and Ye Meiqi's sarcastic laughter rang out.
"Don't know him? Shall I introduce you?" Ye Meiqi gritted her teeth. "Lu An'nuan, it's not that I don't want to give you a way out; it's that you yourself violated the contract. Now everyone has seen it, so even if I wanted to terminate your contract for you, I can't. You've breached the contract first, so I'll report this, and then you'll compensate us according to the terms of the agreement!"
Ye Meiqi dropped her harsh words, then hooked her arm through Xiao Ruoyu's and turned to leave. In that instant, a triumphant smile played on her lips, her eyes filled with calculation.
As for Xiao Ruoyu, making Ye Meiqi happy was naturally his top priority.
Watching Xiao Ruoyu and Ye Meiqi leave, An'nuan angrily shook off Di Ming's hand, a furious blaze raging uncontrollably within her.
"Sir," she said, "I don't recall us ever having a grudge." The unspoken meaning was: *Why are you trying to ruin me?* Was it because Lu An'nuan wasn't miserable enough in his eyes? A wave of self-pity washed over her; she couldn't believe how unlucky she was.
Di Ming, having been shaken off by An'nuan, stood frozen in place, unsure how to react. It belatedly dawned on him that he seemed to have completely messed things up. *Oh god, that wasn't what I intended!*
"An'nuan—oh, no, Young Madam, please let me explain!"
"Who's your Young Madam?! Don't talk nonsense, okay?!" Shuoshuo exploded the moment she heard Di Ming's address. This was a film set; any random remark could become headline news. Was this guy trying to make An'nuan's already tarnished reputation even worse?
"Tell me, are you that witch Ye Meiqi's hired extra?" Shuoshuo demanded. "How much did she pay you for this little act? I'll double it; just let An'nuan go, okay?!"
