Upon hearing Shen Qingyue’s voice, Chi Ming lowered his gaze. He hadn’t done anything after all. He pushed Zhang Qianqian aside and withdrew his hand in silence.

Zhang Qianqian’s hand was hurting so much that she did not dare to move, and her body was still trembling. But no one paid any attention to her.

Shen Qingyue was only wearing a thin dress, which was now mostly wet. Chi Ming tried to make his voice sound gentler. “Feeling cold?”

“It’s alright,” Shen Qingyue replied, looking at him. She felt that over the past year, Chi Ming had changed a lot.

One of Tang Fangmo’s friends also spoke up, “I remember President Qin is quite familiar with the hotel owner. How about we ask someone to arrange a room for Miss Shen to change her clothes? Although the weather isn’t very cold, staying wet might cause her to catch a chill.”

There was a momentary silence in the air after he finished speaking. He suddenly realized what he had said, intending to be friendly, but it seemed to have backfired.

Qin Zhen, who was being pestered by a few people trying to curry favor with him, heard this and looked over. He said quietly, “Her matters have nothing to do with me.”

Shen Qingyue sneered, “Of course, it’s nothing to do with you. If you did care about me, I’d be disgusted.”

For a moment, the air was filled with an even stronger tension.

Chi Ming composed himself and said, “I’ve booked the presidential suite in this hotel for a year. You can go to my room to change.”

Shen Qingyue nodded.

And so, the two of them left like that.

Seeing them about to leave together, Qin Zhen’s heart skipped a beat. He uncontrollably called out. “Wait.”

Chi Ming cast him a sideways glance. “President Qin, what advice do you have?”

Qin Zhen opened his mouth, wanting to say that he could arrange it, but it seemed untimely to say so now. He tightened his grip on the wine glass. “It’s fine.”

“He’s nuts!” Shen Qingyue could not help muttering before picking up her pace and walking away.

Tang Fangmo was worried, so he briefly informed the others and then went after her.

However, Zhang Qianqian somehow found the strength, using her uninjured hand to grab Tang Fangmo. “Brother MO, I didn’t mean it just now. I was just anxious. Please don’t be mad at me…”

“Don’t call me that!” Tang Fangmo shook off her hand. “We’re not close.” He had initially thought that due to her admiration for him, she might have done a few things, and he intended to overlook it. But she had been getting more and more excessive, which did not deserve any pity. He warned, “Today’s matter isn’t over. You wait for me.” After saying that, he turned and left.

Qin Zhen stood among the crowd, watching them leave one after another. His emotions were becoming even more inscrutable.

Shen Qingyue came out in different clothes, and Tang Fangmo asked, “Are you going back to the private room?”

Shen Qingyue waved her hand. “I’ll just go home. It’s not good to be out today.”

Tang Fangmo sympathized, “Don’t worry, leave Zhang Qianqian’s matter to me.” Afterward, he looked at Chi Ming. “Could you please take my sister back?” Chi Ming’s expression remained mild. “Sure, don’t worry.”

Tang Fangmo looked at him and found him much more agreeable than Qin Zhen, that insufferable man. “You helped Qingyue today. Consider me owing you a favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to reach out.”

“Sounds good.”

The next day.

Tang Fangmo had not adjusted to the time difference yet, and coupled with last night’s gathering, he slept until noon. He was finally awakened by the doorbell. Getting out of bed, he pressed the intercom. To his surprise, the visitor was Zhang Qianqian.

Tang Fangmo became instantly awake. Great, he had thought of sleeping a little more before dealing with her, but he hadn’t expected her to actually show up. He headed downstairs in his pajamas, a determined expression on his face. Due to work, he could not allow a woman to enter his home.

In the first-floor lobby, Zhang Qianqian paced back and forth, her brow furrowed tightly. She looked completely distressed. When she saw Tang Fangmo coming out of the elevator, she hurried over. “Brother MO… Movie Emperor Tang, I shouldn’t have targeted Miss Shen last night. I apologize for my actions. Can you forgive me? I’m counting on my role as Best Supporting Actress nomination for ‘Rainy Night’ this year. If you replace me like that, how am I supposed to continue my career…”

‘Rainy Night’ was the latest work of a well-known director. Almost all of this director’s films had received nominations and awards. Even playing a supporting role in his movies was considered a big gain.

Zhang Qianqian had put in a lot of effort and managed to secure a supporting role after much struggle. Finally, just before shooting was about to start, the director said they were changing the cast… Not only that, all her other projects had been put on hold. For a big star, it might not be a huge deal, but for her, it was everything..
