Chapter 114

Yu Yue sat down, looking at Leng Yao with anticipation.

Leng Yao seemed a little uneasy, but he didn’t show it.

“Gu Hua invested sixty million, specifically requesting that you not be cast.”

Hearing this, Yu Yue’s heart sank.

She wasn’t a newcomer and understood the complicated ways of the entertainment industry.

She had her own pride and dignity.

Coming to Leng Yao for help this time was because she really had no other option.

More importantly, her cold heart felt a trace of warmth when facing Leng Yao.

“So, what now?”

After a long pause, Yu Yue finally found her voice.

Seeing her like this, Leng Yao felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

“Xiao Yue, it’s not worth it. With sixty million, we can easily create a TV show tailored just for you, if you want.”

“What if I insist?”

Yu Yue looked up, her gaze locking with his deep eyes.

Leng Yao did like Yu Yue, but he hadn’t yet fallen in love with her, so he couldn’t understand why she was so fixated on this particular TV show.

Sixty million could easily fund something much better.

He was a businessman, always calculating gains and losses.

“Be with me,” Leng Yao offered his condition, “or tell me your secret. Why are you targeting Lu Yunche? And why Gu Hua as well?”

Yu Yue’s heart grew cold.

The methods she thought were well-hidden were no secret to this man.

The secret of her rebirth was something she could never reveal.

It was a secret she would take to her grave.

So, that left only one option: being with him.

Yu Yue mocked herself.

Should she be glad he hadn’t asked her to be his mistress, but instead suggested they “be together”? Or maybe, to him, there wasn’t much of a difference.

The door she had cracked open for Leng Yao shut again because of this very incident.

All men were the same.

Her obsession was to stand at the top.

She never wanted to live through another life like before.

Now, Gu Hua was already targeting her.

If she made a move, she would have no chance to fight back.

Finding someone to protect her was a necessity.

Yu Yue hated her own powerlessness, but she had no choice.

“Fine, I’ll be with you.”

When Leng Yao heard her response, he couldn’t tell if he felt more joy or disappointment.

The girl he once thought was special and hard to grasp had agreed so easily.

After dinner, Leng Yao took Yu Yue to a hotel and booked a room.

He sat on the sofa, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, waiting—for her to resist.

After a long while, Yu Yue came out in a bathrobe.

The warm, yellow light shone on her face, her delicate features still carrying a hint of warmth from the water.

Her eyes were calm, yet there was a certain firmness, a sense of finality.

Seeing her expression, Leng Yao grew angry.

Did being with him really make her feel like she was marching to her death?

He pulled her into his arms.

She barely reached his chest, and seeing her obedient demeanor, a flicker of tenderness passed through his heart.

“Xiao Yue,” his deep, magnetic voice whispered in her ear.

Yu Yue looked up, her lips brushing against his cool ones.

Thinking of what was about to happen, she couldn’t help but tremble.

Leng Yao hugged her tightly, trying to give her strength.

He had always thought he wasn’t interested in sex, but now he realized that her presence was more intoxicating than he had imagined.

The air grew warmer, their eyes clouded with desire.

At some point, their clothes were shed, and they fell onto the bed.

When Leng Yao entered her, he felt a slight resistance, which delighted him.

She was his first man.

Without holding back, he thrust in fully.

As her cries echoed, the sun shyly hid behind the clouds.

Meanwhile, news of Lu Yunche’s assistant hitting someone was trending again on Weibo.

The internet was abuzz with criticism.

Su Hua, lying next to Lu Yunche, held her phone, furiously replying to the commenters.

“I was the one who beat him up, so what? I just don’t like that director, so what? It’s none of your business!”

When Lu Yunche woke up, he saw Su Hua in his arms, typing that comment and then posting it.

“You really don’t need to bother with them.”

Su Hua turned her head and looked up at him, her lips brushing against his chin.

Lu Yunche couldn’t help but swallow.

Only now did he fully notice the softness in his arms and the faint, sweet scent lingering in the air.

Su Hua quickly sat up, leaving Lu Yunche feeling an unexpected emptiness.

“S-sorry,” she stammered, “I didn’t mean to sleep beside you. You, you pulled me in, and I didn’t want to wake you, so…”

Her pale face flushed slightly, and her bright eyes blinked with innocence and nervousness.

“It’s fine,” Lu Yunche said, sitting up and looking toward the balcony.

“It’s going to rain.”

Su Hua glanced at the clouded sky outside and nodded.

“Yeah.”

The weather sure changed quickly.

“I saw your comment earlier. Really, you don’t need to worry about them. I’ve gotten used to it these past two years,”

Lu Yunche finally said.

“No way. If you don’t care about yourself, I will.”

Lu Yunche’s heart skipped a beat.

He realized that this girl before him could always tear down the walls he’d built around his heart.

“It’s getting late,” Su Hua stood up.

“I’ll head back to cook. You freshen up and come over.”

As she spoke, Su Hua picked up a key and placed it on the coffee table.

“Here’s the key.”

Lu Yunche picked up the key she’d left, feeling the warmth lingering on it from her fingers.

Slowly, a smile crept across his face.

In that moment, it was as if the world had dimmed and the flowers lost their color.

Back at home, Su Hua started preparing dinner.

In the past few days, through her clever schemes, she could clearly sense that Lu Yunche’s impression of her had greatly improved.

“Host, I have some news about the male and female leads. Want to hear it?”

Su Hua’s eyes lit up.

“What news?”

“One thousand points,” De’er said, having noticed that the host was especially interested in gossip about the leads.

It saw a chance to profit.

“Why do you always want to deduct my points? What do you even need points for?” Su Hua questioned.

“…” Uh-oh, she caught on.

Seeing De’er’s silence, Su Hua added, “Are you trying to secretly save up for an upgrade?”

“…” How did she know?

“I can see right through you, you dumb system.”

De’er fell silent.

It might be the highest-level system, but to the host, it was nothing more than a dumb system.

“If you want to upgrade, just tell me. Even though you’re dumb and buggy, you’re still technically my person—uh, I mean, my system. I won’t treat you badly. Once we finish this mission, you can upgrade.”

De’er was shocked! The host was so kind!

“Host, waahh…”

“Stop crying. Now tell me the gossip about the leads.”

The system immediately became serious.

“They slept together.”

“!!!”

Su Hua was surprised.

“According to the original plot, they weren’t supposed to sleep together for another two years!”
