[Iron Blood: Should we prepare red envelopes?]

[Poison Fox: The Deathly Smile.]

Su Qian: "..."

Your friend, the most handsome man in the world, has left the group chat.

Your friend Tiexue has left the group chat.

Your friend Qinggui has left the group chat.

Your friend Sirius has left the group chat.

Even without the cold wind, her small body shivered a few times.

It turns out that these people are devoid of compassion.

She almost lost her life here.

The group has been completely disbanded.

Su Qian put away her phone and calmly walked out.

……

Gu Qingyan put away her phone and looked down at the person next to her.

Wearing gloves while peeling shrimp looks completely out of place.

"What?" Shangguan Du looked at Gu Qingyan with a smile, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. "Don't you like it? Then let's change it?"

Gu Qingyan also looked at him, her tone slightly cold, "No."

Shangguan Du glanced at the little girl's bowl, picked up a piece of fish with the serving chopsticks, and said in a low, suggestive voice, "Don't worry, I'll have Gu Mingqi sue them."

He quickly and accurately removed the fish bones and placed them in the bowl in front of Gu Qingyan.

If Xie Shiren and Shi Qiansi were here, they would be shocked!

"Want to switch entertainment companies?"

Gu Qingyan didn't speak, her amber eyes reflecting his image.

He put on gloves again and continued peeling crabs. "Tell Xie Shiren what you want to do with them. Even taking down the Sheng family won't be difficult."

Shangguan Du removed all the negative information about Gu Qingyan without leaving a trace.

It's frustrating; the person behind the scenes clearly knows, but can't take action themselves.

Gu Qingyan glanced at the man beside her, who was smiling faintly, her face expressionless. She shifted her leg and crossed it over herself, sitting there.

Her beautiful, dark hair swayed with her movements.

Both stunning and aloof!

There's also a hint of allure that defies expectations!

He slowly and deliberately picked up the shrimp meat from the bowl and put it into his mouth.

"Thank you."

After speaking, she lazily lowered her eyes to look at her phone, exuding a chilling aura that made people want to stay away, just like the man beside her.

Gu Qingyan looked at the private messages from her fans.

[Waaaaah! I knew Yan Yan was wronged! The truth has finally come out, and Yan Yan has been cleared of all charges.]

[Those vicious and aggressive words must have made my sister feel terribly wronged.]

[Jiahe always plays dead at crucial moments.]

[All the glitz and glamour will always be your support, sister. Keep going, sister! Things will only get better from now on.]

Gu Qingyan only has fans who admire her looks, and even after this incident, they haven't stopped supporting her, but there aren't even enough fans to fill one hand.

After reading the private messages, she quickly typed on the screen: 【You all need to be okay, stop crying, it's not worth it.】

Fans who were watching the screen, intending to continue comforting Gu Qingyan, screamed upon receiving a reply: "Ahhh!! Gu Qingyan is alive! Yes, from now on we'll stand together, we'll support her!"

Gu Qingyan raised her eyebrows; these fans are so cute.

Given Gu Qingyan's personality, it's truly rare to see her smiling at her phone.

unless……

Shangguan Du paused slightly as he peeled the crab, his gaze falling on Gu Qingyan, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

After a pause of one second, her voice turned cold, "Aren't celebrities forbidden from dating? Are they afraid that rumors will affect their acting opportunities?"

This statement?

It's quite legitimate, and there's no way to refute it!

Gu Qingyan raised an eyebrow, her profile meeting Shangguan Du's gaze. "What? Is Master Du also a fan of mine?"

Shangguan Du spent the whole night cramming on the fan culture in the entertainment industry and happened to learn how "fans" are categorized.

He pointed his index finger at her phone screen, "Yeah, career-oriented fan. Something just happened, so it's better to focus on filming."

Gu Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly and said casually, "So, Master Du is still a fan of my career."

"But even if they are fans of my career... they shouldn't interfere in my private life."

Gu Qingyan paused for a moment, looking at Shangguan Du with a playful expression.

After a while.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Shangguan Du said in a low voice beside him.

The man used a spoon to put crab meat into her bowl, saying, "Dap."

The necklace on his wrist suddenly fell off and landed in Gu Qingyan's bowl.

Looking down, she saw the man's clean wrist above her bowl.

Gu Qingyan looked down his wrist and saw a cross, inlaid with small blue bricks, with a small "Y" engraved on it, nestled among the crab meat.

Her amber eyes narrowed slightly.

She didn't know that person was Shangguan Du that day.

If her fox power hadn't been suppressed in this world, and if her remaining 1% of strength hadn't been restored, she wouldn't have been defeated by her opponent...

Gu Qingyan lowered her gaze.

If this gets back to the Fox Fairy Realm, where will she put her face?

When they hypnotized him, the man had an extremely strong will; he was no ordinary person.

After hypnotizing the person, I discovered the necklace was missing, so I instructed Chi Yan to replace everyone who had commissioned this necklace from me.

Now that things have come to this, Gu Qingyan finally understands exactly what it was about her that caught this man's attention.

The man suspected that the necklace was hers.

Could there be a crack in the hypnosis technique?

She has no fox power at all now, so it's impossible to confirm.

How did he come to suspect her?

Did he test her with the necklace?

Gu Qingyan calmly raised her eyes, her stray hairs swaying in front of her forehead, meeting Shangguan Du's dark pupils, her face expressionless. "Did Master Du lose something?"

The bowl was full of crab meat, the necklace was silver and thin, almost sinking to the bottom of the bowl, and there was just a piece of shrimp meat left, and the cross pendant just happened to fall there.

The man's dark eyes gazed intently at Gu Qingyan's face, not missing a single expression, and then...

"I'm sorry, it's something very important to me."

Shangguan Du glanced at Gu Qingyan out of the corner of his eye.

The girl's expression was nonchalant and languid, her eyes held a cool mist, still as a deep pool, shimmering like amber, yet revealing a hint of impatience.

He raised an eyebrow and withdrew his gaze from Gu Qingyan.

He took the bowl away from her, opened his well-defined hand, and accidentally touched Gu Qingyan's hand.

Gu Qingyan recalled that night when he also opened his palms and stroked her...

Shangguan Du casually took the bowl away and replaced it with a new one in front of her.

He picked up the necklace. "Miss Gu, may I use the restroom?"

The man spoke slowly and indifferently, his smile both aloof and ascetic.

I want to have my necklace cleaned at her place!

Gu Qingyan laughed along, her voice both wicked and cold, her pleasant tone carrying a chill as she spoke slowly, "On the left in front."

The man got up and walked over, his back view extremely cold, his legs long and straight.

Gu Qingyan watched Shangguan Du's retreating figure, her beautiful fox-like eyes narrowing meaningfully.

Soon, the man returned and put the necklace on his wrist.

"Want more?" He was cutting his steak, the pendant on his necklace swaying with his movements, making a clinking sound as it hit the knife, fork, and plates.

He suppressed his urge: "Want some more?"

She glanced at Shangguandu, her usually detached eyes not as cold as usual.

She took it, her voice low yet resonant, "Thank you!"
