Gu Luosheng fiddled with her phone.
Let's Fall in Love was a dating reality show, and something of a turning point. Gu Luoxi would become wildly popular on it, while she would be reduced to Gu Luoxi's stepping stone.
Pretty tragic, really.
-Gu Luosheng: Maybe I should just sit this one out.
Since she already knew how it would end, Gu Luosheng opted to take it easy. Sitting back and enjoying the drama sounded perfectly fine.
-An Ning: The producer's very generous. Even a minor participant like you gets ten million.
The instant Gu Luosheng saw that figure, she sprang to life.
-Gu Luosheng: Send me the script. I'll be there on time the day after tomorrow. Anyone else can skip this show, but I'm absolutely doing it!
Seriously, she could turn her back on anyone, but never on money.
Three seconds later, An Ning sent her the script.
During dinner, Gu Luoxi kept staring at the dishes on the table and drooling.
Gu Luosheng kindly piled food onto her plate. "Little sister, staring and drooling won't fill you up. You have to eat."
Then Gu Luosheng suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh, right, right. You can't eat. Never mind, just watch."
Gu Luoxi's eyes practically blazed with fury. Once she recovered, she would teach Gu Luosheng a proper lesson!
"Eat more, Shengsheng. Don't worry about gaining weight. If worse comes to worst, you can quit acting. Mommy will support you." Afraid Gu Luosheng might feel awkward, Xia Zhiyun kept piling food onto her precious daughter's plate.
Gu Luosheng felt a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Mom."
"Don't mention it. Now that you're home, just tell me if there's anything you want, all right?"
Just as Gu Luosheng was happily eating, Xia Zhiyun suddenly turned sentimental.
Gu Luosheng pulled out two tissues and handed them to Xia Zhiyun. "Okay."
"Uh, uh, uh..." Gu Luoxi made a couple of muffled sounds, then went straight back to her room.
Although Gu Luosheng had no idea what she was saying, she could more or less guess the subtext: this corpse wasn't feeling well and would retire to her room.
"Never mind her." Xia Zhiyun gave Gu Luoxi an indifferent glance. "Let's keep chatting. Shengsheng, tell Mommy what you like, and I'll buy it for you."
Gu Luosheng's lips twitched.
Money! Money is my favorite thing. But saying that out loud would make me sound so shallow...
After some thought, Gu Luosheng said earnestly, "I think being with my family is the greatest happiness of all. I don't care for material possessions."
Xia Zhiyun held back a laugh. If she hadn't been able to hear her daughter's thoughts, she might actually have believed her.
"All right, then. I'll give you a bank card later. Buy whatever you want." Since her daughter liked money, Xia Zhiyun would simply give her money.
She was her precious daughter, after all. Of course she had to spoil her.
Gu Luosheng: !!!
Mom is amazing! It's like she can read my mind!
A smile lingered on Xia Zhiyun's lips. Every compliment from her daughter filled her with delight.
Before she knew it, it was the following evening.
Gu Luosheng was watching a drama and eating watermelon when a text arrived.
-Come downstairs.
Are you nuts? What kind of spam is this, telling me to come downstairs? Who do you think you are, some domineering CEO? Or are you playing gangster?
Report, delete, block.
After completing that series of actions, Gu Luosheng cheerfully returned to her show.
Hehehe, I'm about to see his abs! I can't wait. I wonder if he'll sleep with the female lead.
Gu Luosheng's inner commentary was always particularly lively when she watched TV dramas.
Little did she know... the man downstairs was already ready to kill someone.
She had actually blocked him???
And that little thing upstairs... was still looking at abs?
Hah.
Ye Nanshen raised his hand and placed a call.
But a second later, it was rejected.
He called again, only to be rejected again.
Ye Nanshen's expression grew darker and darker, and he strode forward.
The villa's outer door was blown apart.
Meanwhile, as Gu Luosheng happily watched her drama, she suddenly heard a crash.
Her bedroom door was also... hanging by a thread.
Gu Luosheng jumped in fright. When she saw the man standing in the doorway, radiating menace, she even flung her phone away.
"Why... are you in my house?" Gu Luosheng shrank into a corner, quietly wrapping her arms around herself.
Seeing the little thing in a camisole, sitting so innocently at her desk watching TV, Ye Nanshen actually... felt a momentary pang of guilt. Had he overreacted just now?
But the feeling vanished in an instant.
Since when did he, Ye Nanshen, have such unnecessary emotions?
"I paid you yesterday. Have you forgotten today's assignment?" Ye Nanshen narrowed his eyes. His voice was pleasant, but utterly cold.
Gu Luosheng shivered. The moment this man appeared, he was more effective than an air conditioner.
"I... haven't forgotten!" Gu Luosheng was already trembling, but she still acted as if she were completely in the right. She couldn't let him look down on her.
"Actually, you could've just called to let me know. You didn't have to go to all this trouble to pick me up." Gu Luosheng glanced at the wrecked door and observed three seconds of silence for it. He certainly lived up to his reputation as the main villain.
Ruthless and merciless. He wouldn't even spare a door.
Ye Nanshen knitted his brows. "I called. Did you answer?"
"When did you call?" Gu Luosheng planted her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks. The moment the words left her mouth, she lost her nerve again and quietly lowered her head. Suddenly, she remembered...
When she'd been engrossed in her show earlier, she did seem to have rejected two calls.
"I... thought they were spam calls," Gu Luosheng muttered.
"Three minutes. Get changed." Ye Nanshen couldn't be bothered to waste words.
Seeing Ye Nanshen act so imperiously, Gu Luosheng bristled inwardly.
Does he really think he's some domineering CEO?
Pfft. I won't listen to you. What are you going to do, eat me?
Three minutes, my ass. I'll make sure I don't finish getting dressed within three minutes!
Gu Luosheng's rebellious streak kicked in, and she deliberately dawdled.
Ye Nanshen lowered his gaze.
He reached out and grabbed Gu Luosheng by the back of her neck. "Keep dawdling, and I'll throw you straight out the window."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Gu Luosheng clutched Ye Nanshen's sleeve. "Big brother, we can talk this through. Let's not solve our problems with violence, okay? I'll get changed right now. It's just... could you step outside?"
Gu Luosheng was on the verge of tears.
The main villain held her like a little chick. She couldn't put up even the slightest resistance.
"You have two minutes left. If you can't get dressed, I don't mind helping you." With that, Ye Nanshen turned away, showing no intention of leaving.
When had Gu Luosheng ever suffered such humiliation?
Now a grown man was standing right there, supervising her as she changed!
Gu Luosheng hated it, but she didn't dare say another word.
All because this man was the biggest villain in the entire book. He had no heart, and his blood was supposedly cold. He could throw a living person into a shark's jaws without batting an eye.
Host, just bear with it. This man is the most ruthless person in the whole book. The male lead isn't even in his league. He could chop the male lead up and serve him as a snack with his drinks.
Host, I strongly recommend getting on this main villain's good side. He might be able to help you someday.
Help me get to hell faster?
