The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

A wife-chasing-after-the-cremation scenario?

Chen Xiao sneered inwardly.

Without a wife, where would the crematorium come from?

Just scatter the ashes when the time comes!

As Lu Huai watched the two people walk away hand in hand, one tall and one short, their suits and trench coats surprisingly harmonious, his vision began to blur.

I've reached my limit now.

Yan Ting's punch was extremely powerful.

In the end, Lu Huai closed his eyes and fainted.

When the assistant finally arrived, he was almost shocked by what he saw.

Lu Huai was covered in bloodstains, and shards of glass were scattered all around him.

The assistant, disregarding everything else, immediately drove the person to the hospital.

-

"When did you get back?" Yan Ting asked gently.

Her initial irritation upon seeing Lu Huai vanished the moment she saw Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao's voice sounded slightly tired: "I arrived this morning."

He booked first class and flew back for several hours.

The first thing I did upon returning was to go to Furong Street.

Yan Ting understood Chen Xiao's meaning. She stopped and turned to look at him: "Do you always show up whenever I have a special situation?"

Chen Xiao also stopped, turned to face Yan Ting directly, and asked a question that seemed unrelated: "So, do you want me to appear?"

Hope?

Yan Ting thought for a moment and honestly replied, "I hope so."

She can't fool herself.

You can't fool your own heart.

Chen Xiao's appearances always seemed to be at just the right time.

"But I hope that one day I can protect you too." His tone was very serious.

Chen Xiao didn't say that he could handle danger alone, but instead smiled and said, "That day will come."

The phone rang suddenly.

Yanting answered the phone.

"Tingting, haven't you arrived yet?" It was Tan Yi's voice on the other end of the phone: "Are you lost? Do you want me to come pick you up?"

Just as Yan Ting was about to say no, Chen Xiao asked, "Where are we going?"

"I send you."

On the phone: "..."

Yan Ting glanced at Chen Xiao and said to Tan Yi on the phone, "Sorry, there was a little unexpected situation on the way. I'll be there in a bit."

After exchanging a few words, the call ended.

Yan Ting said to Chen Xiao, "Why don't you go back and rest for a bit?"

She could tell that Chen Xiao hadn't slept well last night.

Chen Xiao put his hands in his pockets and said lazily, "I'm not that sleepy."

"Let's go, the car is just ahead."

Because the alley was very narrow, the car was parked outside the alley entrance.

Yanting immediately spotted the conspicuous vehicle parked at the alley entrance.

It's a Lamborghini.

Chen Xiao pressed the car key, and the Lamborghini beeped.

He opened the passenger door.

Just before he sat in the passenger seat, Yanting suddenly said, "Shall I drive?"

Chen Xiao paused for a moment, then tossed the car keys in his hand to Yan Ting.

After receiving the car keys, Yanting walked to the other side of the Lamborghini, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

She turned to look at Chen Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said in a low voice, "It takes an hour and a half to get to Qixue from here. If you're sleepy, lie down and rest for a while."

Chen Xiao did not expect that Yan Ting's purpose in driving was simply to let him rest for a while.

He stared intently at Yanting for a few seconds, then suddenly tilted his head, smiled, and said, "Baby, you're so good."

That baby call was incredibly seductive.

Yan Ting's ears tingled involuntarily.

She pretended not to notice Chen Xiao's alluring gaze and drove the Lamborghini onto the asphalt road.

Soon, the Lamborghini disappeared down the tree-lined road.

Yan Ting drives with the aim of maintaining a steady pace.

Chen Xiao looked at Yan Ting driving his car, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

This scenario was not unfamiliar to him.

It could even be said that they are very familiar with each other.

This wasn't the first time Yanting had driven his car.

I've lost count of how many times this has happened.

In the eyes of many people in Beijing's elite circles, Chen Xiao is a powerful and omnipotent person. In reality, he is not invincible, nor can he be immune to bullets and swords. He can get hurt, get tired, and has weaknesses.

And this weakness is naturally Yanting.

Thinking of his parents and relatives from before he transmigrated, Chen Xiao gently closed his eyes.

Even if it costs him his own flesh and blood, he will bring Yanting back.

While waiting at the traffic light, Yanting glanced sideways at Chen Xiao, who was already asleep.

This perspective was novel to her.

This was the first time Yanting had seen Chen Xiao asleep.

Like a lion taking a nap, it exudes an aura of inviolability even while sleeping.

---

Chen Xiao woke up just as the car arrived at its destination.

He is a light sleeper, and usually wakes up after only two or three hours of sleep from the slightest noise.

Yan Ting hadn't intended to disturb Chen Xiao's rest, but upon seeing him open his eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"

Chen Xiao looked sleepy and said in a low, hoarse voice, "No need."

After parking the Lamborghini in the parking space.

Yan Ting unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and said, "Shall I go ahead first?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Go."

Qi Xue's company is actually quite large.

Yan Ting sent Tan Yi a message saying she had arrived, and then walked into the lobby on the first floor.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Yan?" A female employee approached us shortly after we entered.

"I'm."

"Our General Manager Tan instructed me beforehand that if he saw Miss Yan arrive, he would take you directly to the fifth floor."

Yanting nodded. "Then I'll trouble you."

She followed the staff and took the elevator to the fifth floor.

To my surprise, as soon as I reached the fifth floor, I heard a series of noises.

"Mr. Tan, you have to give me an explanation for this."

“We auditioned together, so why did Xu Ziyan get the role in that drama? This is special treatment.”

Yan Ting slowed her pace, and then she heard Tan Yi's voice: "Why?"

"Because she acts better than you."

Tan Yi almost laughed out of anger at the self-important artist in front of her.

"Don't you have any self-awareness about your own acting skills?"

The agent looked at his artist with growing anxiety.

Ancestor!

He's President Tan, after all.

You're already struggling, yet you're still trying to compete with Mr. Tan.

Is your brain made of mush?

Huang Lin was furious.

However, looking into Tan Yi's sharp, fox-like eyes, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, she still needed to rely on the company to some extent.

Looking at the unconvinced Huang Lin, Tan Yi directly mocked, "You'd be better off using that time to hone your acting skills."

Huang Lin was so angry that she turned around and left.

The agent said, "Mr. Tan, she's just not very bright, please don't mind her."

Tan Yi frowned. "It has nothing to do with you."

Huang Lin believed that she was related to her father's side, so she fantasized that the company would give all its resources to her.

How can it be?

It's simply wishful thinking.

in the corridor.

Huang Lin said fiercely, "Once I become famous, I'll kick this company out sooner or later." Tan Yi was just waiting for her.

Sooner or later she'll make her regret treating her this way.

"Don't worry, someone like you has no chance of becoming famous." A voice as clear as snow rang out.

"Who?" Huang Lin turned around angrily, and then she saw a woman so beautiful that her clothes and appearance were irrelevant, staring at her coldly.

"who are you?"

A hint of apprehension and hostility flashed in Huang Lin's eyes.

no way.

Any female celebrity would be wary of Yan Ting's appearance.

"A new artist?" Huang Lin squinted.

Where did Tan Yi find such a beautiful female artist?

Before the female employee could answer, Yanting said, "Don't waste time." She couldn't be bothered with this kind of person.

Unexpectedly, Huang Lin suddenly called out to Yan Ting, "Wait a minute."

She watched Yan Ting's retreating figure and said in a malicious tone, "Let me give you a piece of advice: with your looks, you'd be better off signing with Yan Family Company than with Qi Xue. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting your precious youth." Her words were clearly meant to belittle Qi Xue.

Yan Ting turned around and looked at Huang Lin, who had an arrogant expression. She said in a cold tone, "I'm sorry, the Yan family is not good enough for me."

After saying that, she pushed open the office door and went inside.

As Huang Lin's agent turned to leave, she bumped into Yan Ting, who had just walked in.

She was startled.

What the hell!

Where did this fairy come from?

"Mr. Tan, Miss Yan is here," the female employee called out.

Tan Yi looked up and, upon seeing Yan Ting, said to the female employee, "You can go back to your work now!"

"Ok."

After the female employee left, only Tan Yi and Yan Ting remained in the large office.

Tan Yi personally brewed a cup of coffee and brought it to Yan Ting, saying, "You've finally arrived."

Yanting picked up her coffee and took a sip. "What just happened?"

Tan Yi was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Yan Ting was referring to Huang Lin. When the matter was brought up, she sneered and said, "She thinks I am biased towards other artists. When she first came, I did give her opportunities, but how did she repay me? She either acted like a big shot or did some dirty tricks on variety shows."

But the strangest thing is that even so...

Huang Lin never became famous.

After all, black and red are also red.

In the entertainment industry, it's not that you're afraid of being criticized, it's that you're afraid of having no one to criticize you at all.

Huang Lin really doesn't have a single bit of star quality about her.

Yan Ting frowned. "With so many artists under Qi Xue, aren't there many promising talents?"

Tan Yi: "Yes! Qi Xue has actually promoted several popular young actresses and actors in the past two years, but who knew that they would be poached by others as soon as they became popular."

Although Qi Xue is not very well-known, she is truly dedicated to her artists and never treats any of them harshly.

It's well known that all sorts of unsavory things happen in the entertainment industry, and having celebrities accompany others for drinks is strictly prohibited at Qixue.

Tan Yi would never allow such unhealthy practices to run rampant in Qixue.

After Lu Huai was taken to the hospital, Gu Qianqiu rushed over immediately.

She frowned at her assistant: "What's going on?"

The assistant said hesitantly, "It seems to be related to Miss Yan."

"Yanting?" Gu Qianqiu asked, somewhat displeased. "How could a woman like her beat Ah Huai like this?"

Secretary Wu Ling suddenly spoke up: "Miss Gu, you may not know this, but Yan Ting is a woman with tremendous strength, she's practically a freak."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianqiu glanced at Wu Ling and frowned: "Are you sure?"

Wu Ling: "I witnessed it with my own eyes, so it can't be fake."

"If Miss Gu doesn't believe me, she can ask other people in the company."

Looking at Lu Huai on the hospital bed, Gu Qianqiu couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment in her voice, "How could Yanting be so cruel?"

Wu Ling sneered, "President Lu treats her so well, but she doesn't appreciate it at all. Miss Gu is much more considerate of our President Lu."

She had noticed Lu Huai's fatigue and exhaustion over the past few days.

From the beginning, Wu Ling did not think that Yan Ting was a good match for Lu Huai.

Of course, she also looked down on Gu Qianqiu.

In Wu Ling's mind, Lu Huai should be matched with a well-off lady from a similar social class.

Gu Qianqiu was a perceptive person; how could she not hear the provocation in Wu Ling's words?

However, she didn't care about Wu Ling's little schemes.

Lu Huai's aesthetic sense is not good enough to be interested in her.

Moreover, there is a gem like Yanting right in front of us.

Ordinary women probably wouldn't even catch Lu Huai's eye.

Therefore, the only woman who poses a threat to her now is Yanting.

At this moment, Gu Qianqiu had to admit that Lu Huai was in Yiyan Pavilion; otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned her before she woke up and returned directly to the island, intending to hold another wedding ceremony.

Qi Yang's words echoed in her mind again, "Do you think Lu Huai is a brainless idiot? That he can't see that you're pretending to be kidnapped by me?"

"If we want to ruin the engagement party, we'll have to sacrifice you, Miss Gu."

With a soft thud, Gu Qianqiu was stabbed in the abdomen.

Qi Yang looked at Gu Qianqiu, who was curled up on the ground with a pained expression, and took a picture of her and sent it to Lu Huai. "Miss Gu, I wish you good luck."

He genuinely didn't care whether Gu Qianqiu would die there; he only cared whether he had achieved his goal.

It turns out.

Qi Yang is right.

Only by making the act real could Lu Huai feel pity for him.

When Lu Huai woke up, his vision was blurry. He looked at Gu Qianqiu and subconsciously called out, "Tingting?"

Gu Qianqiu's face stiffened. "Ah Huai, I am Qianqiu."

Lu Huai closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again. His vision gradually cleared, and when he saw that the person in front of the hospital bed was Gu Qianqiu, a strange sense of loss flashed through his mind.

If you don't look closely, Gu Qianqiu's eyebrows and eyes do indeed resemble Yan Ting's somewhat.

Lu Huai had genuinely thought that Yan Ting had come to the hospital to see him.

That's how it's always been.

Whenever he was sick and hospitalized, Yanting took meticulous and considerate care of him.

By then, Lu Huai had become accustomed to Chang Yanting's care for him, but now, looking back, he actually felt a little nostalgic for those times.

Gu Qianqiu looked at Lu Huai, who was lost in thought, and couldn't help but call out, "Huai."

Lu Huai snapped out of his daze, looked at Gu Qianqiu with a somewhat unclear expression, and suddenly said, "You shouldn't have come back to China." He was actually taking his anger out on Gu Qianqiu when he said this.

If Gu Qianqiu hadn't suddenly returned from abroad, Yanting might still be obediently staying by his side instead of being with another man.

“Ah Huai,” Gu Qianqiu smiled somewhat reluctantly, “I arrived before Yan Ting, how can she compare to my affection for you?”

Lu Huai squinted at Gu Qianqiu, who looked heartbroken, and smiled: "Do you think your affection is purely based on self-interest, without any ulterior motives?"
