"Meiqi, don't listen to their nonsense. That woman holds a grudge against me, which is why she deliberately said those things at the door. She just wants to stir up trouble between us. Don't you know how I truly feel about you? Besides, Lan Shuoshuo is Lu An Nuan's best friend, so of course she'd side with Lu An Nuan. Please, don't listen to their lies. My feelings for you are genuine. Believe me..."
As Xiao Ruoyu spoke, he carefully took Ye Meiqi's hand and drew her into his embrace.
Ye Meiqi looked at the man before her, and after a moment, she grabbed Xiao Ruoyu's tie, threatening, "Xiao Ruoyu, I can overlook what happened in the past, after all, that was before my time. But if I ever find out you're entangled with anyone else, I absolutely won't let you off the hook!"
"Meiqi, what are you saying? You're the one I love most. My heart for you, the heavens can bear witness! It's just that before, I didn't dare to dream of you, I..."
"Alright, you don't need to explain. I know everything!"
Ye Meiqi smiled and leaned into Xiao Ruoyu's embrace. But the instant she buried her head, her gaze instantly sharpened, and her hand gripping Xiao Ruoyu's lapel tightened.
*Xiao Ruoyu, now that you're my man—Ye Meiqi's man—still thinking about other women? Don't even think about it!*
Seeing that the woman in his arms had calmed down, Xiao Ruoyu quietly let out a sigh of relief. He held Ye Meiqi tightly, but as he thought of Lu An Nuan, a furious expression appeared in his eyes.
Downstairs, Nuan Nuan and Shuoshuo hurriedly exited the elevator. In the lobby, a heavily made-up woman with a commanding, 'queen-like' demeanor glanced at Lu An Nuan, curling her lips in disdain. "You certainly put on airs!"
She sized up An Nuan, then turned and rolled her eyes. "You'd better cherish the opportunity you gained by 'contributing' your boyfriend. You might not have a second Xiao Ruoyu to offer up."
"Hey, are you just jealous because you couldn't get it yourself?"
They had just arrived and were immediately subjected to unprovoked sarcasm. Nuan Nuan could endure it, but Lan Shuoshuo couldn't stand for it.
"What did you say?!" No sooner had Shuoshuo finished speaking than, before the other woman could reply, her assistant suddenly erupted.
Shuoshuo sneered, "Your boss knows exactly what I'm talking about. You should ask her if her relationship with Xiao Ruoyu is truly innocent before you decide how to clear her name!"
*(Don't think what she said outside Ye Meiqi's office earlier was a lie. Would she have talked such nonsense if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes?)*
*(It's just that Nuan Nuan was blinded by infatuation at the time and refused to believe it.)*
"Don't talk rubbish! Our Sister Fan would never fancy that pretty boy!" Jin Jingfan's assistant said angrily. Shuoshuo sneered. The assistant was about to say more when Jin Jingfan snapped impatiently, "Shut up! Why are you arguing with a dog?"
"You—!" Shuoshuo had been implicitly insulted and was about to continue the argument, but Nuan Nuan quickly pulled her arm and shook her head.
"This is clearly bullying us!" Shuoshuo said indignantly, watching the two people ahead get into their car. Nuan Nuan took a deep breath. "We can't fight a losing battle. Even if we win this argument today, they'll just find a way to bully us back as long as we're here."
"But..."
"No buts, Shuoshuo. I know you mean well for me, but we can't give in to a momentary outburst..."
"You might not be able to, but I can..."
"Are you two coming or not?!" Nuan Nuan and Shuoshuo were still locked in their stalemate, but Jin Jingfan's side was already growing impatient. The assistant impatiently urged them. Shuoshuo hesitated. Though reluctant, she said nothing more, just shot a fierce glare, then sulkily yanked open the car door and got in.
At the film set, no sooner had Shuoshuo and Nuan Nuan gotten out of the car than Jin Jingfan's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID. Jin Jingfan seemed to subconsciously glance at Nuan Nuan, then walked a few steps away and answered the call.
"Jin Jingfan, I hear you have quite a history with Xiao Ruoyu too! Actually, if you don't want to continue at Xinghui, I could..."
"No need. I know what to do."
