Tang Qian's eyes changed when she heard his question.

Actually, she had already made up her mind last night that once this storm was over, she would resign from her job as an agent and go back to work at the company.

Her parents only have one daughter, so it's time for her to take on the responsibility.

Moreover, given Chen Musheng's situation, even if he makes a comeback in the future, I can no longer act as his manager to avoid unnecessary trouble and gossip.

However, what she said just now did not directly reveal this meaning.

But the boy in front of her was able to sense it.

Tang Qian was surprised and saddened at the same time.

But she still managed a smile. "No, I just want you to lay low for a while and we'll talk about it later."

Hearing her explanation, Chen Musheng felt even more bitter and bluntly stated, "Tang Qian, when you lie, you try your best to appear natural, but it's not natural at all."

Tang Qian's smile froze on her face; she didn't know what to say.

Then, she saw the boy sitting by the bed stand up and slowly walk towards her. "I won't leave, and I don't need to make a comeback. As for the public opinion, you don't need to worry about me. Just handle it as you see fit. I just want to stay by your side."

After Chen Musheng finished speaking, he reached out and took her hand, which was hanging by her side, and carefully stroked it with his fingertips. "Please don't send me away, okay?"

At this moment, he was like an injured Samoyed, his whole body screaming "pleasure."

Tang Qian dared not look him in the eye, lowering her gaze to hide her emotions. "Chen Musheng, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know."

"You don't know!" Tang Qian's voice suddenly rose, shaking off his hand, looking very angry. "You've put in so much effort and time to get to where you are today, and you just say you won't make a comeback? How can you face the fans who have always supported you? How are you going to repay the money and time they've invested in you?!"

"Chen Musheng, have you forgotten why you chose to become an artist in the first place?"

"I haven't forgotten this reason, and I will never forget it in my entire life."

Chen Musheng answered her question without the slightest hesitation.

He said, "I chose to walk this path because of you."

Even though she knew the boy in front of her had feelings for her, Tang Qian was still shocked when she heard this reason.

“You said I’ve let down my fans who support me, and I admit it. But besides being a public figure, I also have my own life, and I have someone I love, someone I want to spend my whole life with.” Chen Musheng’s voice trembled slightly. “Tang Qian, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have chosen acting as my major, and I certainly wouldn’t have come to your side and become one of your subordinates.”

"It's only because of what you said back then that I want to be by your side. Even though you married Duan Xiangheng before, it doesn't matter to me. I'm already content just being by your side. I never dare to think about anything else."

“But you divorced him, and I thought my chance had come. So when I saw him sending those threatening messages to you, I was angry. Even though I knew he was live-streaming, I didn’t regret hitting him. Even if I beat him to death, I would accept it.”

Tang Qian never expected that he actually knew that Duan Xiangheng was live streaming.

"Do you know what you're saying? Before you act, can you please not be so reckless? Can you think about yourself? Don't you want to give up your career and future?"

"None of them are as important as you."

Tang Qian froze, her throat tightening slightly.

Looking at Chen Musheng's serious expression, she remembered that she had looked at Duan Xiangheng with the same expression before.

He and he himself are both very stubborn.

But so what? In the end, Duan Xiangheng and I still ended up like this.

“Ah Sheng, I don’t need you to do this for me. You are yourself. You can’t give up everything for anyone. It’s not worth it.”

"I think it's worth it." Chen Musheng stared intently into her eyes, his hands on her shoulders. "Tang Qian, do you know? In this world, there are people who live because of another person. That person is their light. When the light is gone, they can't find their way home."

Tang Qian, who had held back her tears for so long, finally let them flow after he said those words.

Her eyes were red, her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and she was too sore to utter a single word.

Chen Musheng gently pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair softly. "Don't send me away. I want to stay by your side, even if we have nothing, I'm willing to."

Tang Qian buried her face in his chest, and she could hear his heartbeat even through his clothes.

Outside the door, Meng Tingwan had also heard the two arguing. Now that the noise had stopped, she was a little worried.

Just then, Xiao Wu called her. "Sister Wan, there's something I need to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xiao Wu sounded very distressed on the other end of the line, “I just remembered that this Chen Musheng worked as a bartender and casino dealer at the palace for half a year five years ago. He kept a low profile during that time and never caused any trouble, so I didn’t pay much attention to him. After he resigned, I didn’t remember him anymore.”

"He was in the palace five years ago?" Meng Tingwan asked in astonishment.

Although the palace was her own property, she never participated in its operation; Tang Qian always handled it.

She could only remember a few people, such as Xiao Wu and A Xu. She had never met any of the other employees, and she had never met them either.

“Yes, I also showed Ah Xu and the others Chen Musheng’s photo, and we confirmed that we hadn’t mistaken him for someone else,” Xiao Wu said confidently.

Chen Musheng is twenty years old this year; five years ago, he would have been fifteen.

They're at the age to go to school, why are they out working?

"He was only fifteen years old back then, how did he get into the palace?" Meng Tingwan asked.

When this was mentioned, Xiao Wu became hesitant, "Sister, I was only eighteen back then, and at that time we were short of people. We didn't look at ID cards or anything when we recruited. We just told them what age they were."

Meng Tingwan rubbed her forehead and sighed.

That doesn't seem wrong.

"Okay, I see."

She had just hung up the phone when the door behind her was opened, and Tang Qian came out with red and swollen eyes, looking as if she had just had a good cry.

Meng Tingwan quickly helped her up, "Qianqian."

Tang Qian looked up and smiled at her, "I'm fine, let's go."

"it is good."

So, Meng Tingwan put her arm around her shoulder and walked towards the door.

As soon as they exited the police station, Cheng Yu stood there waiting for them.

"Listen, I have something I need to go back to take care of right away. When are you leaving? Do you want to come along?"

Cheng Yu was still worried about leaving them here.

Duan Xiangheng was still unconscious, so he couldn't get any answers.

Furthermore, the Nanzhao police have already transferred the report on his case to the Yuezhou police, so he needs to go back and handle the rest.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qian immediately said, "Let's go, let's go now."
