Yue Tingfeng became extremely submissive the instant after Yan Qingsi’s surprise. He was like a tamed puppy, enjoying its fur being gently brushed along her fingers. The only difference was he did not nuzzle on Yan Qingsi.

Helan Fangnian’s face grew paler than he ever could. However, it was only for a brief second. Without any reason, it was like he had been enlightened as if his mind had completely cleared up and all his worries were gone in a flash. His new-found positive perspective was like an old Buddhist teaching. Optimism comes to those who could let go of their baggage.

Perhaps it was due to the constant setbacks and failures he kept getting. This new-found optimism is perhaps the cumulation of all the constant setbacks. It’s like a double negative effect. One can only struggle for so long until one eventually accepts one’s fate and live on optimistically under the same circumstances.

Helan Fangnian laughed and said, “You know, the both of you don’t have to flaunt your intimate romance in my face intentionally though, I would give up that easily, I would’ve done so long ago and if I were to be a serious competition to you, I would have snatched her from you long ago.”

Yue Tingfeng laughed sarcastically and replied, “Hehe, you’re letting your inflated ego get to your head, what do you mean intentionally? Can’t you see that we’re just too infatuated with each other and we could not hold back our primitive impulses?”

Helan Fangnian turned to Yan Qingsi and said all while ignoring Yue Tingfeng, “I am not going to force you to choose sides, I will respect you regardless, the only thing is, if… there is one day in the future, he actually did betray you or made you unhappy in any way, I want you to know that I will always be here waiting for you.”

Yue Tingfeng teased, ” Oh boo hoo, playing the victim here, you know, your victim role had lost its popularity in most TV dramas though.”

Continue to ignore Yue Tingfeng, Helan Fangnian added, “I am being completely serious, of course, if you happen to have any needs for a lawyer, I will cut you a sweet deal.”

Yue Tingfeng’s expression instantly changed to a slightly offended look. He said, “Quit tooting your own horn, there is no use for your services. Why do I still keep my legal team on payroll then? Why would we require any of your services? You had the audacity to charge her a fee? You’re like a foreign monk coming to my land, do you even have any clue to the laws and customs of my land? Paying you anything would be like skipping stones in water.”

Helan Fangnian had a slight grin on his face, the empty, depressed, pale look on his face had completely faded away into nothing. He had completely recovered back into his confident, cocky usual self.

He simply replied, “I assure you, it would be a better deal than any of them. I will win… any case you throw at me.”

Hearing his confident reply, Yan Qingsi nodded and said, “You’re sold!”

“You actually agreed?” Yue Tingfeng said unsatisfyingly.

Yan Qingsi playfully kicked Yue Tingfeng’s leg and said, “It’s time for bed, I’ll need to go to a set tomorrow.”

Yue Tingfeng scrambled the pile of cards to her and said, “What are you still going there for? You were almost blown to bits yesterday.”

Yan Qingsi closed her eyes as she pulled up her blanket and said, “It’s all because I was almost blown to smithereens, that I feel compelled to show my face at least, just for the paparazzi sake. This will show the world that I am in fact still alive and kicking, just to spite some people who wanted me dead.”

The news online at this very moment was insane. As the only topic was all about Yan Qingsi’s accident and how close of a call she had as she was only 2 seconds away from death.

The comments were hilarious though. It simply wrote. #Notevengodcouldstandthisnymph #Abouttimetomeetyourmaker.

Yan Qingsi posted a picture of her bandaged leg online as a response all with the caption saying. ‘The nymph had been too evil lately, not even her maker wants her back yet!’

Yan Qingsi pinched Yue Tingfeng’s waist and said, “Go get your own bed.”

“This is my bed.” Yue Tingfeng replied.

Yan Qingsi went silent seemingly too tired to fight back.

Out of nowhere, Yue Tingfeng’s phone rang, breaking the silence. He picked up his phone to look at the screen. Seeing that it was Jiang Lai who was calling him, he answered.

Not knowing what Jiang Lai said to him, Yue Tingfeng’s entire demeanor changed to a much serious expression, his face instantly darkened as his smile faded away.
