Return to before death

"I'll rest for a while."

Yan Ran withdrew her hand and walked towards the room, feeling as light as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

As soon as she touched the bed, her consciousness began to blur. Indeed, she hadn't been getting enough rest lately, either because of Tangtang's matter or because of Zong Zhengqing's troubles.

The third episode of the online news observation room is almost ready, and Yan Ran has decided to return to her old profession.

Firstly, besides her job as a journalist, she has no other familiar professions.

Secondly, she wanted to use her identity as a reporter to investigate who the group of people who kidnapped Tangtang back then were.

She couldn't find anything on her own, so she thought of becoming a journalist.

Using Yu Xiao's show, he can announce his comeback, and it's likely that those people from before will come knocking on his door again.

She looked up at herself in the mirror. Compared to before, she had shed her naivety and gained a more mature and composed demeanor.

"Ranran, are you done?" Yu Xiao's head peeked in from behind the door, a flash of amazement in her eyes.

The light blue cheongsam reached just to her knees, revealing her long, slender, and snow-white legs.

Her hair was casually tied up, with a few strands falling loose and hanging loosely beside her ears, making her look alluring and charming.

"All right."

Yan Ran smiled slightly and walked towards Yu Xiao step by step in her high heels. Seeing the girl's infatuated look, she felt a mischievous urge to tease her for some reason.

She reached out and lightly hooked her finger around Yu Xiao's collar. "Do you like it?"

Yu Xiao swallowed hard without making a sound, her face full of infatuation, "I like it, I like it."

"Hahaha." Yan Ran laughed heartily; she hadn't laughed so freely in a long time.

"You, you..."

She gently pinched Yu Xiao's cheek, her tone doting, sounding like intimate words between a man and a woman, yet it felt perfectly natural on the two of them.

"Hurry up, we're going to be late!" Yu Xiao looked away from Yan Ran's face, glanced at her watch, and hurriedly pulled her towards the front desk.

I originally just came to check if she had finished and to urge her on, but I didn't expect to waste my time here.

If he's late, wouldn't that make tens of thousands of viewers wait for a long time, and wouldn't that give Yan Ran a bad first impression?

A comeback can never compare to those who have been in the industry for a long time. She may still have some fans because of her experience, but most of her fans will have already left.

Yan Ran found the person on the stage increasingly familiar, and couldn't help but squeeze Yu Xiao's palm, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Who is the other person? Why does he look so familiar?"

Yu Xiao turned her head mysteriously, smiled slightly at her, but did not speak or offer any explanation.

As the person walking onto the stage drew closer, the name almost slipped out of her throat, but she shook her head. How could that person possibly be here? He wasn't part of this circle.

But she forgot that the purpose of Yu Xiao's show was not specifically to serve people in the industry, and the "influential figures" did not necessarily refer to people in the industry.

"Sheng Xuanling!"

Yan Ran's beautiful eyes widened, and the name slipped out the moment she saw the face.

How could it be him!

Sheng Xuanling turned around, her cold gaze lingering on her for a second before shifting to Yu Xiao in front of her, looking her up and down.

"What are you looking at!"

Yan Ran pulled Yu Xiao behind her to protect her. Sure enough, a leopard can't change its spots. How could she forget that even if this person was cold and aloof, it couldn't hide the fact that he liked beautiful women?

She remembered how he teased her repeatedly when they first met. If it weren't for the need to gain his trust, she would have left long ago.

"Anyway, I'm not looking at you." Sheng Xuanling withdrew his gaze and casually uttered a sentence. He admitted that he was slightly amazed when he first saw her.

The moment she opened her mouth, I lost all desire to continue watching.

No matter how well she dresses, it can't change her impulsive personality.

"Alright, you two, stop arguing. The interview is about to start, go upstairs and get ready." Yu Xiao gently nudged her, smoothing things over for them.

Given the eerie atmosphere, she wondered if the two of them would tear the place down if she kept thinking about it.

The saying goes that enemies are especially hostile when they meet, so what is the relationship between these two?

Yan Ran raised her head slightly and walked gracefully onto the stage, looking just like a big star.

Even after so many years, she still can't forget what's ingrained in her.

Yan Ran glanced at Sheng Xuanling with an indifferent expression, her brows icy cold. She still couldn't forget the time he had lied to her.

She couldn't understand why he could still hurt that woman who loved him so much.

As expected, women are all meant to be used... She smiled sarcastically, thinking to herself that she herself had been used by a ridiculous love.

And she foolishly believed it for so many years.

Their eyes met, and a sense of impending conflict filled the air.

"Miss Yan Ran, you had a great opportunity to give it up before, so why are you making a comeback now?"

As soon as the interview began, the reporters below couldn't help but swarm forward, their first target not Sheng Xuanling, but Yan Ran.

Everyone knows that you should always pick on the weakest link, no matter what. As for that cold-blooded man, he looks too terrifying, so let's keep him as a backup plan.

"Pfft, what else could it be? He was just abandoned and doesn't know anything else, so he has to come back to his old ways." Sheng Xuanling sneered, his tone clearly sarcastic.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Ran with a smug expression.

She's too green to mess with him.

"Does President Sheng like to distort the truth? Does he think he can attract my attention this way?" Yan Ran agreed, her tone full of sarcasm. Perhaps she couldn't handle those situations in the business world, but when it came to dealing with reporters, who had more experience than her?

Just expose the truth, the more ruthless the better.

Since he was impolite first, she shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

"Why does President Sheng sound a little happy? Does he think he can take advantage of my divorce?" These rhetorical questions made the reporters in the audience speculate wildly, and they quickly edited the content on their phones.

Looks like tomorrow's headline is set. I originally thought it was just a small interview and wouldn't uncover any big news, but it turned out to be so explosive right from the start.

I wonder what will happen next.

"I understand Miss Yan Ran's eagerness to find a man to relieve her loneliness. Obviously, while I'm interested in beautiful women, as for a woman like you, tsk tsk..."

Sheng Xuanling looked her up and down, clicking his tongue and shaking his head, his sarcasm quite obvious.

Although their conversation had strayed from its original topic, the reporters in the audience stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing anything.

Big revelation! Former star reporter vs. playboy CEO.

Who is telling the truth?
