Ye Feimo's gaze turned stern, "Reckless!"

The two simple words felt like cold arrows piercing her; the performer trembled and was intimidated by him. In previous visits, female entertainers had vied for their company, even leading to scuffles at times, but they'd never seen them reprimand anyone.

Su Ran wanted to make a good impression on Chen Xueru and waved with a smile, "Did you see that President Ye isn't in the best mood today. You should leave and find your own entertainment."

The group left dejectedly.

Cai Xiaojing pursed her lips; they were all seasoned players who usually acted freely and unrestrained, so women would always flock to them.

This was nothing out of the ordinary.

Su Ran thought that she should have greeted them first.

"Miss Xiaojing, shall we go up on stage and sing a song" Lin Ning said, pulling Cai Xiaojing to get up and sing. Warmth leaned over to Ye Feimo's ear and whispered, "Are you a regular here"

"Past matters, let’s not dwell on them," Ye Feimo deftly changed the subject.

Su Ran and Director Gu couldn't help but chuckle silently.

Lin Ning and Cai Xiaojing were singing a famous love ballad called "Clearly Loving You." Warmth knew the song as well; Lin Ning's voice was clear and bright, while Cai Xiaojing’s voice was soft and emotional. Singing such a love song felt perfect and very complementary.

"I didn't expect Director Lin to be able to sing so movingly," Warmth said with a smile.

Director Gu said, "He was known as the prince of ballads in his university days."

"It’s clear he has great potential. Miss Xiaojing also did well," Warmth commented. Director Lin is truly a versatile director; he can act, direct, and even sing. Does he need to be so talented

Su Ran said, "Why don't you and Ye Ershao perform a song on stage as well."

Wenran squinted at Ye Feimo with suspicion. "Can he"

Ye Feimo gave a cold snort and remained silent.

Wenran shrugged her shoulders, looking as if to say, "He can't."

Su Ran burst out laughing.

Chen Xier arrived. She was wearing a white windbreaker jacket with long boots and carrying a black bag. Her hair was down and she had makeup on; her appearance looked less haggard and more elegant, like a lily flower.

"Xier姐!" Wenran waved at Chen Xier, who smiled and walked over. Su Ran immediately adjusted his facial expression to look gentlemanly and refined, embodying grace personified.

Wenran glanced sideways at him with the thought, Su Ran, you're too good at pretending; Mr. Su is here.

Chen Xier had limited connections in the industry as she usually focused on her acting career unless necessary for publicity. However, she knew people like Su Ran and Director Gu—although they hadn't formally met, everyone high up in Anning would know them. Moreover, the公子Su was often seen alongside Ye Ershao and Tang Shuwen in magazines.

When Chen Xier first met everyone, she acted very graciously but had some resistance towards Director Gu.

Lin Ning and Cai Xiaojing returned from singing. At this moment, Director Gu said, "I am myself, while Mr. Gu is Mr. Gu; we shouldn't be compared to each other. Although our surnames are the same, we aren’t familiar with one another."

Among all the traditional noble families in a氏, the Gu family could be called overflowing with descendants, especially male heirs. Therefore, there were many elites named Gu; Li Yun and Gu Zhensheng had three sons.

In memory of an occasion when Ye Ershao, Gu Zhensheng, Tang Si, Lin Da, and others gathered to discuss the issue of offspring among major families, Tang Si joked that even a side branch of the Gu family could rival the male heirs of the Ye, Tang, and Lin families.

At that time, Ye Ershao made an insightful remark: "It's not about having many sons; it’s about quality over quantity."

Li Yun and Gu Zhen were rolling their eyes beside them, as if they didn't know that their two sons were geniuses.

The Young Master Ye was very pleased with himself. He could brag about his son however he wanted; one of his sons was worth more than several of theirs combined.

Chen Xueru smiled faintly. Gu Xiaobei was known as a tyrant in Anning, but Director Gu was much milder.

"Miss Chen, I'll toast to you. It's nice to make your acquaintance," Su Ran toasted her gallantly. Chen Xueru accepted the drink and gulped it down without hesitation; she had come out to play with Nuwan and Cai Xiaojing, although she used to hear bad things about them, but with Nuwan and Cai Xiaojing around, she felt safe.

In fact, what people said in gossip magazines was meaningless. If even Nuwan didn't have any reservations, it meant that Chen Xueru could trust the person completely.

Su Ran clapped his hands with increasing satisfaction. "Miss Chen, you look more beautiful than in movies; can you hear my heart pounding"

Chen Xueru awkwardly glanced at Nuwan. What was this play about

Nuwan smiled and said, "Sister Xueru, he fell in love with you at first sight during today's screening. So I asked you to come back; now feel free to order him around as he’s already bowing at your feet."

Su Ran winked at Chen Xueru. She smiled but was hesitant to say anything and nodded at Su Ran instead. She didn't know what they were up to, and she had initially wanted to declare that she was a mother of one child, but with so many people around, it would be better not to.

Plus, even if she did tell them, they would ask more questions; Tang Shuwen disliked others knowing about his son, considering it an embarrassment for him.

These people were all good friends of Tang Shuwen’s, so Chen Xueru decided to remain silent.

"So, how's my proposal" Su Ran moved Cai Xiaojing over to Lin Ning and seated himself beside Chen Xueru, smiling flirtatiously but in no way off-putting.

Chen Xueru smiled. "Mr. Su…"

"Don't call me Mr. Su; just use my name Su Ran. Nuwan doesn’t address people formally either and calling me Mr. Su seems so distant," Su Ran ignored the fact that they had only just met and that it was indeed quite formal.

Chen Xueru said, "Suyan, just be friends."

Suyan is flexible and decides to laugh it off, "Of course. Romantic relationships between men and women start with being friends. Come on, let's toast to friendship."

Cai Xiaojing couldn't help but whisper to Lin Ning that Suyan really has thick skin.

He can bend and stretch as he pleases; how could such a man fail in his pursuits

Lin Ning shook his head. It’s truly embarrassing for men.

The producer asked Chen Xueru, "Miss Xuieru, since everyone is so familiar now, we’ll definitely go out to play often in the future. I heard that you slapped Gu Xiaobei once. Is it true"

Chen Xueru wasn't embarrassed at all; what haven’t these few people seen She probably even did worse herself, so she nodded and said, "No, not one slap, but two."

The producer laughed out loud while patting the sofa. "Gu Xiaobei was slapped by a woman too! That’s so satisfying. I’ll tell this joke to my father when I get home. The Tyrant got hit; you’re amazing, Miss Chen Xueru. He probably hasn’t been hit since he was little. No wonder he wanted to hide you."

Chen Xueru smiled and didn't say much more. Being hidden away was indeed a blow for her, but that was only when she had first been put aside due to betrayal. Getting sidelined again after offending Gu Xiaobei no longer affected her.

As long as she could earn enough money to support herself and her son, fame and fortune weren’t important anyway.

Suyan adored this quality in her; she was like a lotus that remained unstained by the murky waters.

On stage, people were dancing the ballroom dance. Lin Ning pulled Cai Xiaojing up to join them. The producer looked at the two dancers on stage and couldn’t help but ask Second Young Master Ye, "Have you noticed that recently Lin Ning seems very interested in Cai Xiaojing"

Chen Xueru and Warming both turned their attention to the stage. Director Lin, such a cold beauty, danced with grace and allure while Cai Xiaojing was also multi-talented; her dancing wasn’t bad either. It looked like they were very attracted to each other.

Warming propped up her chin in puzzlement. "When did Auntie Xiaojing start hooking up with Director Lin How come I didn't know"

"Apart from being mad at me, what do you care about" Ye Feimo huffed coldly, pretending to be displeased.ow for any noiseless movement.
