"Speak your mind?" Gu Qingyan slowly raised her eyes, meeting the man's refined and handsome face, her tone cold.

Upon hearing this, Xue Wen paused for a few seconds. The aloofness and coldness in Gu Qingyan's tone made him inexplicably flustered and heartbroken.

Why didn't you choose me?

Gu Qingyan looked up at a spot in the corridor. "Looking like this? Why would we choose you?"

He raised his eyebrows, a playful look on his face.

Xue Wen's expression stiffened slightly, and a hint of mild anger flashed in his gentle eyes.

He doesn't have Gu Qingyan's aggressive looks, but he's still a recognized handsome man in the industry.

"Ha! It seems you don't have a mouth, you haven't said anything yet!"

Gu Qingyan suddenly chuckled, her smile both languid and alluring.

"I'm sorry, my family member was emotionally unstable just now, so I was afraid that if I spoke, they would make things even more difficult for you..."

Xue Wen felt that she was angry with him for not speaking up for her, and was now putting on a brave face. He sighed and said, "I will be more careful in the future. If you feel sad, just call me."

Gu Qingyan smiled: "Why should I be sad?"

"I'm sorry I didn't help you just now. I hope you can understand. I will treat you much better in the future," Xue Wen said with a guilty look.

"You came all this way just to spout this nonsense?" Gu Qingyan narrowed her fox-like eyes and looked at him with the gaze one would give an idiot.

Xue Wen quickly handed her a business card and a bank card: "I just wanted to test you. From now on, I'll always be on your side. Trust me, okay? I really like you. I can't leave my mom's place for too long."

Gu Qingyan: "..."

"I'm leaving now, I'll wait for your call." Xue Wen looked at her with a gentle and apologetic expression.

The person quickly disappeared from sight.

She broke the bank card in half, tilted her head, and slowly tossed it into the trash can.

"Come out." This mentally challenged child, whose brain matter had been confirmed to have turned to water.

Yu Ci walked out from around the corner, looking her up and down. "Gu Qingyan, if you want to be the female lead, I can help you. What that guy just couldn't do, I can do."

Gu Qingyan said indifferently, "What can you do?"

After saying that, she bypassed Yu Ci in front of her and planned to return to the film crew's private room.

"Gu Qingyan," Yu Ci took out his phone and stopped her, "can we exchange contact information?"

Gu Qingyan looked impatient and said in a cold tone, "Huh? I don't have a number."

Yu Ci glanced at the phone in her hand, paused for a second, and asked, "Your phone?"

Gu Qingyan's face was expressionless, as if she were talking about the weather today, "No card inserted!"

Remaining words: "..."

Do you think I believe it?

Do you think I'm stupid enough to fool you?

If you don't want to add it, then don't!

Yu Ci was angered by Gu Qingyan's behavior. She didn't even give him, the investor, any face. He stopped indulging her and said, "Gu Qingyan, I can give you a role and even make you the Best Actress, but only if you become my girlfriend."

Gu Qingyan had encountered countless instances of this kind of frankness.

Her line remains the same: "I'm not interested in ugliness."

Yu Ci pointed to her face in exasperation: "Look at yourself! I'm the best-looking and have the best figure among the investors. If you think I'm ugly, then how good-looking do you want me to be?"

Gu Qingyan paused for a second, then her thin lips curved slightly. "If someone is prettier than me, at least like the one from the Shangguan family, like a fairy, I'd be quite interested."

Yu Ci noticed that she immediately started talking about the capital city.

He felt that Gu Qingyan was insulting him, but he had no evidence.

He looked at her with a "Are you tired of living?" look, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word for three minutes.

Xie Shiren, who had just reached the corner, glanced at his childhood friend beside him and sighed slightly.

She's yet another fallen woman who's obsessed with him, driven mad by him, and driven to despair, even banging her head against a wall for him.

But with that face, even he couldn't help but want to fall at his feet and sing "Conquer".

Yu Ci's sarcastic voice came over.

"Gu Qingyan, even if you are as beautiful as an angel, that person is not someone you can even dream of, nor is he someone you can reach!"

“But I just love his face,” Gu Qingyan repeated.

The name Shangguan Du alone is enough to make women hesitate and men tremble with fear!

When you're out and about, all the labels you give yourself are self-imposed. Adding a label like "a delusional prostitute" will only make those so-called troublemakers more annoying.

"Stop dreaming. I'm right in front of you, isn't that more direct and real?" Yu Ci was really unwilling to give up like this: "If you come with me, I can give you a car, a house, fame and fortune."

Gu Qingyan crossed her arms, her eyebrows curving into a smile, her fox-like eyes now brimming with allure: "If I wanted to, I could have any man offering me these things with a snap of my fingers. Do you think I'd be lacking? I want that man's face to call me 'baby' every day, and to get up with me in bed at Beidi No. 1 Courtyard every day. If you can do that, I might consider it."

As soon as Gu Qingyan finished speaking, she turned her head and saw the person she had just spoken of.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Shangguan Du strode past her with his long legs.

Gu Qingyan glanced lazily over the other side.

The man walked over casually, one hand in his pocket, his black shirt rolled up to his arm, revealing pale skin, and a cigarette between his bulging veins.

A fleeting glimpse, that profile shrouded in smoke—enough to leave a lasting impression!

Gu Qingyan is now indifferent to this face.

She always regretted not directly destroying Shangguandu; it was her greatest shame!

I never expected to run into this man again and again.

Ha! Has the Shangguan family become so free?!

Xie Shiren had seen many top beauties, but when his gaze fell on Gu Qingyan, he couldn't help but feel that the others were just pretty girls.

No wonder this woman can so shamelessly hand over the nickname "baby".

Unexpectedly, I was caught in a crossfire!

Xie Shiren looked at Gu Qingyan with a wicked grin, waiting to see her break down.

However, no, Gu Qingyan didn't even frown, let alone feel embarrassed.

Even the man opposite Gu Qingyan showed no expression.

Xie Shiren realized something: neither of these two people knew Shangguan Du.

How dare you say you like gambling here? You're something else!

Yu Ci, a nouveau riche, could only reach the bottom of the circle.

I've only ever heard of Shangguandu, but I've never even seen a picture of him.

He thought someone was bothering him and was about to give them a hard time, but when he saw the two people's exceptionally handsome features, he was stunned.

The two exuded an air of nobility, suggesting they were not ordinary people.

Yu Ci quickly looked away.

His gaze returned to Gu Qingyan, and he spoke cautiously, "You must be drunk and don't know what you're saying. Be good, let's go back first. I'll take you home. I won't spread what you just said so that people will speculate about you maliciously."

Gu Qingyan pretended not to know Shangguan Du and walked forward casually.

Shangguan Du glanced sideways at Gu Qingyan's receding figure, a playful glint in his eyes. His deep gaze was dangerous and profound, as if he had locked onto his prey.

"Du, did you hear what that little girl said?" Xie Shiren teased as the person walked away, assuming no one else could hear him. "She's really bold, actually wanting you to call her 'baby'!"

Gu Qingyan, who heard everything clearly from afar, was speechless.

"This young girl's love is so bold and straightforward, yet she doesn't even recognize you," Xie Shiren said with amusement. "If she didn't even recognize you, how could she have climbed into your bed? How could she have gotten you to call her 'baby'? How could she have woken up in bed at Beidi No. 1 Garden?"

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Yu Ci turned around instantly.

Where are Shangguandu and Xie Shiren now?

Yu Ci trembled slightly, her heart almost stopped, and her eyes were filled with shock.

Were those two the main characters he just encountered?!

Gu Qingyan didn't stop walking, but her fingers were rubbing the necklace around her neck.

If Shangguan Du were standing in front of her right now, he could probably crush her bare hands until she was smoking.
