Rebirth and Conquest

After separating from Xi Yichen, Chen Yan immediately called He Yichen and asked him to call Li Yilang back right away.

Li Yilang is currently filming out of town, and He Yichen made him rush back overnight. By the time he arrived at the company, it was already noon the next day.

Chen Yan was already waiting in He Yichen's office early in the morning. When Li Yilang walked into the office, he looked tired. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Yan, but then he returned to his normal expression and asked coldly, "What brings Chairman Chen here in such a hurry?"

Chen Yan looked at Li Yilang and calmly asked, "Yilang, tell me, have you ever done anything to ruin your future?"

"What do you mean by that? I've sacrificed so much for this day, and I cherish it more than anyone else."

"Okay," Chen Yan nodded. "Have you ever been to a gay nightclub?"

Li Yilang's body stiffened suddenly, then he said nonchalantly, "It's my freedom to go wherever I want. I'm just signing a contract with you, not selling myself to you."

"Yes, it's your freedom. So what did you do there?"

"Drinking and dancing."

"anything else?"

"Gone."

"That's it?" Chen Yan's voice suddenly turned cold, and she asked sharply, "Then why did you end up in bed with someone!"

"I didn't!" Li Yilang looked up sharply at Chen Yan and retorted loudly.

Chen Yan didn't say anything more, but took a photo from the table and threw it at Li Yilang: "Then tell me, who is this person in the photo? Is it you or someone who looks like you?"

Li Yilang picked up the photo from the ground, and upon seeing the person in it, his face turned deathly pale. "I... I didn't sleep with him, I just—"

"Just what?" Chen Yan retorted, feeling a surge of anger rising in his chest. He suppressed his urge to explode and asked, "Do you know how much I've spent on you? Is this how you treat your future? Have you ever thought about being a public figure? If this kind of thing gets leaked, your acting career will be over!"

Li Yilang held the photo in his hand, his face pale, unable to utter a single word.

"Tell me now who this man you slept with is, and where you are. I'll try to get someone to take care of this."

Li Yilang closed his eyes and slumped onto the sofa. After a while, he said weakly, "About a month ago, I was under a lot of pressure, so I went to a bar called 'Nightfall'..."

When Li Yilang went to the bar, he didn't know it was a gay bar. He went there to drink because he was feeling down, but then a man came up to him and started chatting him up. In a moment of madness, he went to a hotel with that man. However, at the last moment, Li Yilang came to his senses, kicked the man off him and ran out. But by then, they were almost completely naked, and they had touched and kissed each other. The video was probably taken at that time.

"That's how it is." After saying that, Li Yilang sat down on the sofa dejectedly. "If we can handle it, we will. If not, I will bear the consequences myself."

Seeing Li Yilang's completely dejected appearance, Chen Yan didn't intend to say anything more, only instructing, "Have the driver take you home first, rest at home for two days, and go back to filming after the company has dealt with this matter."

Li Yilang didn't say anything more, got up and walked out.

He Yichen then asked Chen Yan, "So what do we do next?"

"What else can we do?" Chen Yan rubbed her forehead wearily. "Let's see if we can still intercept it."

In the afternoon, Xi Yichen indeed came to pick up Chen Yan, and then took Chen Yan to the grass field to play golf. Chen Yan was not interested in this kind of activity, or more precisely, she was not interested in playing such a game with Xi Yichen. However, Chen Yan still accompanied Xi Yichen for the afternoon, and it wasn't until the evening that the two went to a high-end restaurant that had been booked in advance.

"Your attitude today has really taken me by surprise." Looking at Chen Yan sitting across from him, Xi Yichen said with a smile, "If I didn't know it was impossible, I would have suspected that you have some kind of 'unspeakable' relationship with that Li Yilang."

Chen Yan sat casually in the chair, and only looked up at Xi Yichen after he finished speaking: "Now can you tell me where that thing is?" Chen Yan's words seemed casual, and he even had a smile on his face. There was no denying that Chen Yan's face was extremely handsome, and this beauty was mainly reflected in his eyes. When those eyes focused on someone, they were like a vast blue sea. They weren't particularly stunning or captivating, but they made you unable to help but look into them and become lost in them. If he smiled, bright spots would burst out from them, much like precious diamonds shining in the sunlight. That light shone directly into Xi Yichen's heart, leaving Xi Yichen stunned for a quarter of an hour.

Xi Yichen had never been looked at like this by Chen Yan before. Something inside him seemed to tremble, followed by a tingling sensation. At that moment, he made a decision, even though he had been hesitant about something.

Xi Yichen snapped his fingers, and then a waiter came over with two glasses of red wine: "Sir, here is your wine."

The waiter placed one glass of wine in front of Xi Yichen and the other in front of Chen Yan before leaving.

Xi Yichen picked up his wine glass and raised it to Chen Yan: "If you drink this glass with me, I'll tell you."

Chen Yan's expression remained unchanged. After glancing at the wine glass in front of her, she asked, "Do you really want me to drink?"

Xi Yichen smiled but did not reply.

Chen Yan picked up the wine glass in front of her.

Xi Yichen suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll tamper with it inside?" His words sounded like a joke, but also like a test.

Chen Yan responded by tilting his head back and drinking the entire glass of wine. He licked the corner of his mouth, which was stained with red liquid, and then smiled at Xi Yichen across from him, swirling the empty glass in his hand as he waited for Xi Yichen's response.

Xi Yichen considered himself to be always calm. He was an egoist, and even though he liked Chen Yan, most of the time he calmly thought about how to get her through scheming. But at this moment, he felt a surge of hot blood rush to his brain, and a certain part of him was excited beyond control. He tilted his head back and gulped down the wine in his glass, and then said, "The video isn't in my hands. The entertainment industry has no shortage of paparazzi. I don't need to dig up this kind of scoop."

"Oh? Which reporter dug up this kind of scoop?"

"Xingfeng Studio, however," Xi Yichen smiled at Chen Yan again, regaining his composure, "Even if you want to do something, it's too late now. I spent one million to buy the right to dispose of it. As long as I give the order, they will announce it immediately."

Chen Yan ignored Xi Yichen's words and simply repeated, "Xingfeng Studio." The alluring smile on Chen Yan's face disappeared, replaced by her usual coldness. Then, as if reminding herself, she said it again, "Xingfeng Studio."

Neither of them spoke again. Chen Yan lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought. Xi Yichen watched Chen Yan silently, as if observing or waiting. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Chen Yan, how was the wine? Was it good?"

Chen Yan didn't even raise his head; as soon as Xi Yichen finished speaking, he collapsed onto the table.

"I really wish you could always be this obedient, but it's a pity it's not from the heart." Xi Yichen said with a sigh, stood up from his seat, walked to Chen Yan's side, bent down and picked her up.

Xi Yichen carried Chen Yan out of the restaurant, then got into his car and went to a hotel he had booked in advance.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Xi Yichen carried Chen Yan directly to the deluxe suite on the top floor. After entering the bedroom, he placed Chen Yan on the huge double bed.

Xi Yichen sat down by the bed and quietly looked at Chen Yan, who was sleeping with her eyes closed. Chen Yan's face was very calm. With her overly bright eyes closed, she looked like a harmless and beautiful young man, giving people a clean and pure feeling. Xi Yichen's face was a little gentle. He reached out and touched Chen Yan's face. His fingers rubbed against her skin. The smooth touch was even better than he had imagined.

“I didn’t want to do this either, but aren’t you being a bit too difficult? We could have just gotten along fine, but you had to make it this way.” Xi Yichen said, looking at Chen Yan’s face with a teasing tone.

As he spoke, his fingers moved downwards, reaching Chen Yan's neck. The touch was still delicate and firm. Then, with two fingers, he unbuttoned Chen Yan's collar.

Chen Yan was meticulous in her dressing. Her white shirt was buttoned all the way up, and after unbuttoning one button, a small part of her collarbone was revealed. Her fair skin and perfect curves were partially hidden under the pure white shirt.

Xi Yichen's breathing suddenly became erratic, as if a fire had suddenly ignited the endless desire hidden within him. His eyes were fixed on the exposed area of ​​Chen Yan, as if glued to it and unable to look away.

Xi Yichen lowered his head and leaned close to Chen Yan, his hot breath hitting her face. Chen Yan seemed uncomfortable and turned her head away. Xi Yichen then pulled Chen Yan's face back and kissed her fiercely, sucking and licking her mouth. Still not satisfied, he pinched Chen Yan's chin, forcing her to open her mouth and letting his tongue in. Xi Yichen felt he was losing control, wanting to kiss her like a madman. The sounds of their mouths touching, mixed with heavy breathing, filled the air with a hint of lust.
