A figure walked out from behind the tree. She ripped off the mask from her face and revealed a pretty face. She looked towards Lin Wanwan with resentment.
Lin Wanwan squinted both eyes. âHan Zixi... youâre especially waiting for me?â
âThatâs right.â
Han Zixi walked towards Lin Wanwan step by step. Seeing that she was not retreating at all, as if she wasnât a threat to her, she could not help but smile coldly.
âLin Wanwan, you would have seen the bet on the Internet. The reason Iâm finding you is because I want to add to the stakes and do a bigger bet. Are you game?â
A hint of playfulness flashed past Lin Wanwanâs eyes. She raised her eyebrows and asked, âOh? How do you want to bet?â
Han Zixiâs eyes shone slightly and she said rapidly, âItâs simple. The method stays the same. If I win, you have to admit in public that you are my defeated opponent. Then, you have to announce to the media that youâll exit the entertainment circle and never step foot in it again. If I lose, itâs the same for me. How about that?â
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan curved her lips.
This bet was indeed a bit big. However, she liked it.
âMs. Han, before I answer you, I would like to ask you a question.â
âWhat?â
âIf I get lucky and win, I will definitely not give you the chance to go back on your word. Do you have to force yourself to this step? Thereâs no turning back.â
Although it was a heated battle between them, it was only a game that arose from the onlookers. Lin Wanwan was really curious why Han Zixi had chosen such an extreme way of either to conquer or to die.
After hearing Lin Wanwanâs words, Han Zixi had a twisted expression on her face momentarily.
Actually, she had been forced to do so too.
Tang Chenâs statement had made the agency she was in sense danger. The management of the company had investigated the cause between Han Zixiâs and Lin Wanwanâs conflict and, thus, checked how protective Mo Chen was towards Lin Wanwan.
This time, they could no longer sit still.
The management of the company went to find Han Zixi and told her explicitly that if she won, everything would turn for the better. If she lost, then the result would be for her to go into hiding.
At that time, Han Zixi was both shocked and scared. Later, Su Maner provided her this âdo or dieâ idea.
If she lost...
No, it was impossible she would lose!
As if cheering for herself, Han Zixi shook her fists. âIf? Lin Wanwan, itâs too early for you to say such big words! Iâm asking you for the last time, do you dare to bet with me? If you donât and want to quietly be a tortoise, I wonât force you either!â
Lin Wanwan pouted. There was no lethality to such a childish way of provocation at all.
âWhy should I not bet with you when itâs so fun? I accept.â
Hearing her agreement, Han Zixi was so excited that her facial muscles started to twitch, as if victory was hers. She revealed an expression of arrogance mixed with contempt.
âThen thatâs decided. Itâs nearing the time where our TV dramas will be broadcast. Letâs go somewhere and wait for the ratings to be out. How about it?â
âSure.â
Both of them found a tea house nearby and went into a reserved room. They took out their respective iPads and got ready to watch the live broadcast on the Internet.
There was still ten minutes before the start of the broadcast. Han Zixi poured two cups of tea and handed one of them to Lin Wanwan.
âAlthough we have settled on the bet, there wasnât a third party to witness it. I hope that regardless of the results, you will not go back on your word. If you agree with my words, drink this cup of tea. If youâre feeling regretful, I also wonât stop you. Please go ahead.â
