Wen Jiu writhed in the blankets for a while before slowly emerging, her eyes still moist.
Under everyone's gaze, he lowered his head and stammered, "W-what are you doing...?"
"It's wrong to eavesdrop, you know?"
"People will die (from the company's collapse)!"
Wen Jiu was sweating profusely, her cheeks flushed, and her hair was a mess, with even her tufts of hair bent under the weight.
Like a sleepy kitten that accidentally fell into bed, it dawdled out and sat within its owner's sight, meowing in embarrassment and annoyance.
It's practically licking its fur.
Feng Yuan was so charmed that he almost blushed, and reached out to touch it.
With a cold face, Feng Chi pulled the person away from Feng Yuan's grasp, rubbed his head, and barely managed to straighten his ahoge (cowlick).
"They want to see you," Feng Chi said. "You've been sleeping for a long time."
Feng Yuan stopped with slight regret, found a seat for himself, and leaned back lazily, propping his head up with his hand.
She leaned against Shen Qianshan's left shoulder.
She looked down, and a hand encircled her waist.
Shen Qianshan: "Behave yourself."
Feng Yuan: "... Tsk."
Seeing that the person was alright, Qu Feng tentatively asked, "You should remember everything now, right?"
Wen Jiu nodded, " Brother Qu, you..."
"Dead. Bad luck, got into a car accident." Qu Feng didn't mince words, saying it directly. "I was reborn the year I signed you to my team—do you remember?"
Wen Jiu naturally remembered that Qu Feng had said he was just taking pity on him, no different from picking up a dirty little cat and raising it as his son, and told him not to take it too seriously.
At first, he acted like a stranger and set up a bunch of strict rules, which scared Wen Jiu quite a bit.
We only gradually became familiar with each other later, and then I treated them with all my heart.
At this moment, Wen Jiu couldn't complain about him in front of so many people, so she simply said, "No matter how much I struggled afterward, you never gave up on me."
Qu Feng snorted coldly.
In his past life, he was too strict and kept a close watch on people. Although he didn't know why he had so many troubles after being reborn, Qu Feng never thought of restricting Wen Jiu.
Deep down, I even thought that maybe it would be better if things just dragged on like this from the beginning.
If you're bullied, bully them back; if you're insulted, insult them back. At worst, as their agent, you can swallow your pride and ask for resources. You won't starve.
Qu Feng Version 1.0: Celebrities should pay attention to image management and set an example.
Qu Feng 2.0: Raising cubs, with a focus on the word "wild," allowing them to grow wildly.
As long as he doesn't offend any top-tier figures, Wen Jiu tenacity.
Thinking of this, Qu Feng glanced at Feng Chi, who looked like an obedient wife, and silently added in his mind: like the one in front of him.
Fortunately, Bigshot Feng actually took a liking to Wen Xiaojiu, and made his intentions clear at their first meeting, explaining his past and present lives.
That's why they could openly promote their on-screen couple status afterwards.
"Speaking of which, this CP thing was actually my idea." Qu Feng picked up an apple from the fruit basket, took a bite, and said, "It's to help President Feng pursue you."
"I didn't expect it to work so well. You gained traffic, popularity, and even a new batch of fans."
Qu Feng gave Feng Chi a thumbs up, saying, "As expected of President Feng."
Feng Chi nodded modestly, indicating that he still needed to continue to work hard.
Wen Jiu: "..."
"As for A-Yu and me, we were reborn three years in the past," Yu Qing said. "After being reborn, I found out you were having difficulties, so I secretly helped you out by turning down a few TV drama offers, but unfortunately, we were suppressed."
Wen Jiu suddenly realized, "No wonder we've been collaborating more these past two years; it turns out you've been helping me."
"It's not exactly helping, we still have some reservations." Yu Qing looked at Shen Yu, her hand being held and warmed in his palm. "I've died once, I'm scared."
Shen Yu explained, "After we were reborn, we discovered that this life is different from the previous one. You and President Feng did not meet, he did not take action, and you are not at Starlight Entertainment."
"The story took a completely different turn from our previous life, which made A-Qing and me more cautious, until we saw the news of you and Feng Chi appearing together on the trending topics."
Wen Jiu: "What news?"
This question caught them off guard, and both of them were taken aback.
Feng Chi leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered, "About that night you were reborn, when you slept with me."
Wen Jiu suddenly blushed from her face to the roots of her neck.
She glared at the man, embarrassed and annoyed, and then muted her microphone.
Yu Qing smiled and said, "Back then, we guessed that things might have taken a turn for the better, so we suggested to Director Zhang that we extend an invitation to you, intending to meet you first. But we didn't expect President Feng come along too."
Qu Feng: "When Director Zhang called, President Feng was present."
Feng Chi didn't explain her actions, but simply added, "I made a deal with Director Zhang: bring that Lin guy and that pig along too."
Wen Jiu turned to look at him, her sixth sense overcoming her reason, and didn't ask which pig it was.
Everything that followed followed naturally.
Feng Chi told them the inside story, and they chose to keep it a secret.
They've kept it a secret until now.
"There's something else I feel is off." Yu Qing frowned slightly, puzzled. "During my time on set, I've had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and when Gu Xun came to visit yesterday, the atmosphere between you two was even stranger."
Upon hearing this name, the expressions on the faces of the group all turned sour.
Having already learned the whole story, Feng Yuan, who had ended up on both sides by Feng Yuan of fate, raised an eyebrow, his blood-red eyes sweeping over the group before turning to the bewildered Wen Jiu.
The boy sat cross-legged, seemingly still processing the information he had just received. He paused for a moment upon hearing the name Gu Xun, not understanding why this person was suddenly brought up.
Feng Yuan felt a little itchy to touch it again, unable to understand how someone could be so cute even down to the strands of hair, and his attention was momentarily diverted.
The spinning of the lighter became faster and faster.
Qu Feng threw away the apple core and spat, "Because he is Pei..."
Are you talking about me?
Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out, tinged with a faint smile.
Gu Xun stood in the doorway, Against the Light, carrying a fruit basket and holding a bunch of roses in his arms.
He stepped leisurely into the room, ignoring the hostile stares of the crowd. His gaze swept around the room, lingering on Feng Yuan for two seconds before turning to the man beside him.
Shen Qianshan narrowed his wolf-like eyes, tightened his grip on Feng Yuan's waist, and his gaze became sharp and murderous.
Gu Xun slowly withdrew his gaze, placed the fruit basket on the bedside table, and handed the bouquet of flowers to the boy. "I heard you were overworked and fainted due to low blood sugar. Are you feeling better now?"
Wen Jiu nodded blankly, looking at the bright red roses blooming in front of her, and suddenly felt a chill.
"I..."
"Much better, thank you." Feng Chi stepped in front of Wen Jiu, coldly swatting away the roses from her hand. " Best Actor Gu, you should be more worried about yourself."
The man released his grip, and the roses scattered on the ground, their vibrant color standing out against the white porcelain tiles.
Gu Xun sighed regretfully, "It's dirty."
Feng Chi's eyes darkened.
Wen Jiu glanced over subconsciously; the roses were getting redder and redder, almost blinding.
"You are the most interesting person I have ever met, like a rose pampered in a greenhouse, receiving sunshine, rain, and the finest nutrients."
The moment I saw you, I wanted to destroy you.
"Things that are broken and incomplete are often the most beautiful..."
It's dirty...
"Clatter!"
A flash of silver light suddenly appeared before my eyes, accompanied by the soft sound of a lid being opened, dispelling the sounds in my mind.
Wen Jiu's eyes widened in surprise for a moment.
A soft, pleasant voice whispered in my ear, "Sweetie, look here."
The silver lighter spun nimbly in her beautiful fingertips, almost as if it were alive, and then with a "click," the flame flickered gently before her eyes.
Feng Yuan lowered his voice and asked gently, "Baby, is it dirty?"
Wen Jiu's unfocused gaze fell on the firelight, and in the background, Feng Yuan's blurred outline was breathtakingly beautiful.
"It's not dirty..."
Feng Yuan asked again, "Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful..."
The flames flickered, and Feng Yuan's voice grew softer, gradually guiding him to relax.
Finally, with another crisp "click," the flame went out.
Wen Jiu to wake from a dream, her mind blank for a moment.
"Seal... Feng Yuan?"
Why is that beautiful woman standing so close to him?
Wait... Feng Chi isn't angry, is he?
Wen Jiu scooted backward, instinctively searching for Feng Chi's figure.
Where are they?
Feng Yuan stood up, tucked the silver hair that had fallen in front of him behind his ear, and decisively reached out to rub Wen Jiu's head. The fluffy touch made him sigh comfortably.
"It still feels great to the touch."
Wen Jiu:???
Having witnessed a hypnosis session, Yu Qing's gaze towards Feng Yuan changed; she instinctively felt that this person was hiding something profound.
But ultimately there was no Malice, and he was very kind to Wen Jiu, so Yu Qing a little relieved and glad that she hadn't become his enemy.
Wen Jiu: "Where's Feng Chi?"
Feng Yuan replied lazily, "I went after Gu Xun."
Wen Jiu:¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
Yu Qing: " Gu Xun is the one who harmed you."
Wen Jiu belatedly realized what was happening, and a chill ran down her spine.
He actually spent so much time with that dangerous and perverted person.
" Gu Xun is a master of psychology, highly intelligent, and extremely skilled at disguise. No prey he sets his sights on has ever escaped. You were just being manipulated by him."
Feng Yuan also abandoned his carefree attitude and said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, he must have hinted at the word 'rose' and that twisted aesthetic theory to you."
Don't believe it, not a single word of it.
" Wen Jiu, when it comes to dealing with Gu Xun, you have to listen to Feng Chi. You can't outsmart him."
Wen Jiu nodded blankly.
This beauty, when she turns cold, can actually be quite fierce.
Seeing that the person seemed frightened, Feng Yuan smiled and took the opportunity to pat Wen Jiu's head again, "Don't be afraid, we're here."
After saying that, he pointed outside, "For example, at times like this, perhaps we could go out and take a look?"
