A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

Fang Ming added insult to injury, "I don't even want to admit that you'll be my colleague."

Yang Jian was speechless. "Now that you've finished your report, isn't it my turn?"

Luo Yunqi was already used to their bickering routine. He kept Fang Ming's words to himself: there wouldn't be so many coincidences. Too many coincidences would just seem strange.

Now that the other party is slowly revealing their true colors, then don't blame him for following the clues and eventually wiping them out in one fell swoop.

"Come on, it's your turn to perform now."

Fang Ming moved him to a different spot, leaving the stage for Yang Jian.

"CEO, as you instructed, I took the man to the police station. Vice President Chen remained silent the entire way. I tried to get more useful information out of him, but he kept quiet."

Yang Jian took out a voice recorder from his pocket. "I recorded everything from when I got on the bus to when I got off. In the end, Vice President Chen said that we should pay more attention to the people around us. I suspect that there is more than one traitor in our group."

"..."

"..."

This news is even more shocking than the news they just heard. Besides Chen Jianming, there is another mole.

Luo Yunqi's eyes sharpened, his gaze fixed on the recording pen, his voice hoarse, "What else did you find out?"

“The other party was unwilling to say more. At first, I thought about it a lot. Was he genuinely trying to warn us or was he deliberately putting out a smokescreen to make us panic? I didn’t ask any more questions. But the moment he got out of the car, I saw him look behind me, but when I looked, there was nothing there.”

Luo Yunqi "..."

Fang Ming "..."

It's like they've got a copy of a maze game. They investigate some things, then another smokescreen appears, and then it's one level after another.

"Doesn't this feel like we're leveling up and fighting a boss? Just like when we were in school."

Fang Ming and Yang Jian were college classmates. When they didn't have classes, they would hide in their dorm room and play games. They were just like you are now.

It was a process of overcoming one obstacle after another.

Yang Jian: "..."

"In the past, the levels only required me to use up some blood drops in the game character, but now the levels require a lot of my energy and time, and there might even be some personal danger."

Yang Jian thought about it carefully for a moment and said, "CEO, would you like to buy more insurance for the two of us now?"

"Ideally, it should be a major personal accident insurance policy."

"..."

Luo Yunqi smiled, a smile spreading across his lips. He glanced at the two calm, even somewhat excited faces and immediately relaxed. "I'll buy you all kinds of insurance."

"Thank you, CEO!"

"Thank you, CEO. Shall we have a drink tonight, Young Master Luo?"

The CEO in the first part is because they have a superior-subordinate relationship, while the teasing reference to Young Master Luo in the second part shows that after working together for so many years, they have come to regard each other as their best brothers and friends.

"Young Master Luo!!"

When Yang Jian heard about wanting a drink, his eyes lit up, sparkling with excitement. His expectant look made it impossible to refuse.

Luo Yun nodded, "When you leave, you'll be responsible for cleaning up all that trash."

"No problem, no problem, Yang Jian will definitely take care of everything."

"No problem...no problem...Me?!"

Yang Jian's reaction amused the other two, and the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Since everything is a preordained arrangement, we should adapt to circumstances and face things calmly.

……

……

In the dimly lit room, the lights were blurry, and there was a suit jacket and exquisite high heels on the floor.

Chen Li pressed her against the door and kissed her, his lips pressed against hers, gently holding hers, his voice carrying an indescribable hoarse ambiguity.

"Not asleep? Hmm? Pretending to be asleep?"

The person in his arms blushed from his kisses, their breath ragged as they tried to calm their racing heartbeats.

"No…"

Chen Li hugged her and lifted her up a little higher, kissing her lips tenderly. "I feel like you've lost a lot of weight lately. You don't feel very heavy when I hold you. Have you not been eating properly again?"

Wen Qing remained silent, feeling slightly guilty. Recently, in order to better portray the character, the female lead in the play is a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who is not only as pretty as a flower but also as light as a swallow. For this, she needs to lose a few more pounds, and she has been eating only plain cabbage for many days.

“Whenever you feel guilty, you like to look down and stay silent, trying to make me skip the topic.”

Chen Li had no way to deal with her. He rested his chin on her neck, his sexy and magnetic voice, along with his warm breath, spraying onto her neck, making Wen Qing feel a little itchy.

"Qingqing, if you keep neglecting your health like this, I'm going to get angry."

Wen Qing felt guilty and muttered a few words, "But I'm an actress. Actors need to put in a lot of hard work to create a character that the audience likes. If you're not pretty or thin enough, then you lose weight and take care of your skin. If your delivery of lines isn't strong enough, then you practice and memorize your lines well..."

"It's just a matter of eating less for a few meals, which I can certainly accept. As long as I can bring the characters in the drama to life and make everyone instantly immerse themselves in the role, then it's all worth it."

“Ali, I know you feel sorry for me, but at the same time, I am also an actor on the screen. I have many fans who like me, and many casual fans who are watching me. Since I am an actor, I have chosen this path and regard it as my dream. So I am willing to make some necessary sacrifices for my dream and create a better character. I am willing to endure this hardship.”

Chen Li remained silent and held the person tightly.

"To put it bluntly, we are born much luckier than most people. There are many people who work much harder than us. My job is tiring and I have sacrificed a lot of my time. I have even exposed myself to everyone's eyes. But the spotlight, the glory, and the money it brings are things that most people can't get. I don't lack money, but I love being an actor. I love getting closer to my dream little by little."

Wen Qing cupped his face in her hands and kissed his cheek soothingly, "Ali..."

She was being coquettish, her soft, drawn-out voice carrying a hint of ambiguity in the quiet, dark room.

"I love being in the spotlight, I love being able to portray different characters, and I love portraying each character well. I love that feeling of selflessness."

So much heartache and pity couldn't compare to her saying "I like you."

"it is good."

Chen Li supported her buttocks with one hand, holding her in his arms, while his other free hand touched the light switch on the wall. Instead of pressing it immediately, he had her close her eyes.

After she had adjusted to the light for a while, she turned it on.

“Ali…”

He carried the person to the sofa. On the table were the food that had been served. The house had just been cleaned, so the takeout gift box must have been brought in by the housekeeper.

"If you like it, then I will help you unconditionally and trust you. I will also find ways to make up for the weight you lost, as long as you are happy."

As long as you're happy.

Wen Qing was suddenly startled, her eyes welling up with tears.
