Her manager, however, showed no sympathy and had no intention of taking him in. “If you’re staying at a hotel, why come and stay with me?”

“Hmph! I don’t want to be in the same hotel as that woman. She just pisses me off.”

“Well, well, looks like the two of you had another fight.”

Qin Zhou looked at his watch and said coolly, “It’s late now, too. If you really don’t want to stay at the crew’s official hotel, go out and get another room somewhere. Don’t come to my place.”

The actor said quietly, “But I didn’t bring any money with me when I came out.”

Qin Zhou then went to the porch cabinet and casually fumbled in the pockets of one of the coats in it. He found some money and was about to give Hua Jin some cash.

The actor immediately said, “That’s all right. Don’t bother. I’ll make do with one night at your place.”

Qin Zhou looked up, disgusted. “I don’t wish to oblige.”

“…” The actor grumbled, “You should continue your treatment for your OCD?”

“Does it have anything to do with you?”

“There’s nothing fraternal about you. You can’t be so callous as a friend.”

“Callous? Are we friends?”

Hua Jin asked, “If we’re not friends, then what are we?”

The manager said solemnly, “Superior, subordinate.”

“…” The actor looked hurt.

“Alright, look at how pitiful you are. Come in then!” The manager stepped aside and the actor squeezed past him as if he had been granted amnesty.

Upon entering the living room, the actor lay down on the sofa and complained, “I’m not going to serve that little ancestor! Do you know how detestable she is?! She actually pretended to be me and made a confession to Gong Jie!”

“Pfft…” Qin Zhou almost spat out his coffee at that.

“She’s that bold?” Even Qin Zhou did not dare to be too presumptuous when dealing with a demon king like Gong Jie, let alone Hua Jin. Perhaps, as they say, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

Liang Yin did not understand Gong Jie’s background at all, let alone how terrifying his existence was. Therefore, she did not have any fear or special respect for him!

Qin Zhou couldn’t stop an image from forming in his own mind, of a kitten starting to scratch at the tiger with its little paws. This image was quite cute in comparison!

“Qin Zhou, let me ask you a serious question.”

The manager quickly set his coffee cup aside. “Ask away.”

“Do you…”

“Mmmm?”

“Do you prefer men or women?”

Qin Zhou didn’t take offense. Instead, he asked, “What do you think?”

“From the way you carry yourself, I’d say you like men.”

“Oh?” The man gave a slow, threatening snort. “I’m going to give you one more chance to make a guess.”

“… women.”

Qin Zhou scowled at him and said, “You know the answer.”

“I don’t care about your private life, so how am I supposed to know if you like men or women?” Hua Jin said, resting his chin on his hand. “In the past, the media said you and Gu Xingze were an item. Word goes around.”

“There used to be rumors that you and Yun Shishi were secret lovers too,” he reminded the actor coolly.

“It’s fine if you say that in private, but if you say it in front of Brother-in-law Mu, he’ll hack you to death and then kill me.”

“That’s not going to happen now that he’s been promoted to a stay-at-home dad. He plays slave to his daughter every day.”
