The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Ye Zhanyan had always found it hard to believe that she could give up all the attention and praise, and even the man she once cared about most, Sheng Huainan, to someone else. But when it actually happened, she suddenly realized that it wasn't so difficult after all.

However, seeing how well Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang got along, she was still somewhat annoyed that she couldn't get involved.

But a casual glance from Zhao Shucheng excited her, even though that glance wasn't just for her, but also for Luo Zhi standing next to her.

The celebration banquet was a great success. Gu Senxiang was unusually happy and accidentally drank too much, so she simply stayed at the apartment.

Ye Zhanyan and Luo Zhi had also drunk quite a bit, so they decided to stay. Fortunately, when Zhao Shucheng and his team started their business, they had considered the issue of accommodation, so the girls shared a bedroom.

Zhao Shucheng had originally planned to go back by himself, but after hesitating for a long time, he was still worried about the three girls staying there alone, so he rested in the apartment as well.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Shucheng suddenly heard a noise at the door. He went to open the door and saw Ye Zhanyan standing there.

"Zhan Yan, is something the matter?"

Ye Zhanyan looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "You promised to be with me, but I've been back for so long and you've been with Xiangxiang the whole time. Have you forgotten that I'm your girlfriend? Even though I can be your lover, you can't just ignore me the whole time, can you?"

"When will I agree..." Zhao Shucheng suddenly remembered that when Ye Zhanyan confessed her feelings, he was busy comforting Gu Senxiang, so he didn't give Ye Zhanyan an answer.

"I remembered?"

"Yes, I didn't refuse at the time, but have you really thought this through? You're so beautiful, and you have no shortage of suitors. Why do you have to be my lover?"

"But I just like you. You can't treat feelings rationally. Even if other people pursue me, some are richer than you, or better at studying, or more handsome, none of them are you."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Ye Zhanyan and said, "Are you really sure?"

"I've thought it through a long time ago, and I've never been this clear-headed before. I know you're worried, but don't worry, I will absolutely not let Xiangxiang know, and I will not do anything to ruin your relationship."

Zhao Shucheng was no saint, so he grabbed Ye Zhanyan and pulled her into the room, closed the door behind him, and kissed her.

Ye Zhanyan was also surprised by Zhao Shucheng's actions and remained stunned throughout, doing her best to cooperate with him.

It was only because Gu Senxiang was in the next room that Zhao Shucheng was holding back; otherwise, Ye Zhanyan definitely wouldn't have been able to leave her room tonight.

"Alright, you can go back now. There will be plenty of opportunities to spend time alone together in the future."

Ye Zhanyan returned to her room with a wistful look on her face, only to find Luo Zhi staring at the door. Feeling a little guilty, she quickly pretended nothing had happened and went back to bed to sleep.

In the following days, Zhao Shucheng and his colleagues resumed their previous routines, spending their time either in class or handling company work.

During this time, Ye Zhanyan continued to handle work matters, and her relationship with Zhao Shucheng was like a bandit's dream. From holding hands and hugging to kissing, they did everything except sleep together. Zhao Shucheng became familiar with her entire body.

Ye Zhanyan originally thought she would be averse to such intimate contact. After all, when she was dating Sheng Huainan, they only chatted together, exchanged drinks, and held hands at most.

But in reality, she found it quite enjoyable, even somewhat addictive, and couldn't wait to truly become Zhao Shucheng's woman. She wasn't Zhao Shucheng's only woman, but she could be his first, since she knew that Gu Senxiang and Zhao Shucheng's relationship was purely platonic.

So on this day, taking advantage of the fact that Gu Senxiang and Luo Zhi both had classes and Zhao Shucheng needed to handle work at the company, Ye Zhanyan went directly to Zhao Shucheng's office at the company.

When Zhao Shucheng saw her arrive, he simply looked up and smiled to greet her before starting to work on the documents in his hand. However, he didn't expect to hear the sound of clothes falling to the ground. When he looked up, he saw that Ye Zhanyan's coat had disappeared, leaving only a sexy dress.

Zhao Shucheng naturally knew why Ye Zhanyan did this. He hadn't had sex in this world for a long time, and he was about to make Ye Zhanyan his first woman in this world when he suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

The call was from Zhu Yan, who was sending funds to Zhao Shucheng. Her friend knew about Zhao Shucheng's bike-sharing project and wanted to invest. Knowing that Zhu Yan knew Zhao Shucheng, she asked Zhu Yan to help secure Series A funding.

Although Zhao Shucheng was not short of money at the moment, the company was indeed at the point of expansion and needed to raise funds and attract more powerful partners. Therefore, Zhao Shucheng agreed to meet with the other party.

Ye Zhanyan looked at Zhao Shucheng with unsatisfied expression and said, "Qi Ming, do we really have to go now?"

"Zhanyan, you heard me too. I have important business to attend to. Besides, good things often take time. We'll have plenty of time to be alone together later. I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng picked up the clothes that Ye Zhanyan had dropped on the ground, put them on her, and then went out to discuss financing.

When Zhao Shucheng arrived, he found that only Zhu Yan was there, and she was obviously drunk.

"Sister Zhu Yan, where is your friend?"

"She was very happy to know that you agreed to let her invest, and she accidentally drank too much with me, so she went home first. As for the funding issue, just tell her when you raise funds, and let her take the money to sign the contract."

Seeing Zhu Yan's drunken state, Zhao Shucheng said, "Alright, but since you're like this, I'll take you home."

Zhu Yan nodded, stood up unsteadily, and almost fell. Zhao Shucheng could only help her leave the hotel.

But when Zhao Shucheng found Zhu Yan's car, he discovered that there was no driver inside and asked, "Sister Zhu Yan, where is your driver?"

"The driver took the day off today, so I drove myself. Xiao Qi, you can drive, right? You can just drive me home. I'll lend you the car for now, and you can return it when you have time."

Zhao Shucheng didn't want to waste too much time talking to the drunkard, so after helping her into the car, he planned to take Zhu Yan home first.

However, Zhu Yan insisted on sitting in the passenger seat, claiming that she couldn't let Zhao Shucheng actually be the driver.

After Zhao Shucheng got into the car, before he even started the engine, Zhu Yan immediately clung to him, recounting her hardships over the years while her hands began to grope him. Zhao Shucheng, whose desire had just been ignited by Ye Zhanyan, could no longer suppress his lust at the sight of such a beautiful wife's advances. He grabbed Zhu Yan's neck and kissed her.

Zhu Yan appeared to be drunk, but she was actually quite lucid the whole time. She didn't back down at all when facing Zhao Shucheng, and instead kept attacking and expanding her territory...

After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Zhao Shucheng tidied himself up a bit, started the car, and headed towards Zhu Yan's house.

Zhu Yan, however, leaned back in the car seat with a blissful expression, straightening her clothes and saying that she had drunk too much earlier.

"Zhu Yan, do you think I would believe that?"

Zhu Yan blushed as she looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Qi Ming, there is a significant age difference between us, and you also have a girlfriend. What we're doing is wrong. I admit I acted impulsively just now, and I hope you don't mind."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. After all, not everyone can win the heart of a beauty. I just hope that I can have the opportunity to exchange driving skills with Sister Zhu Yan in the future."

Zhu Yan didn't react at first, but when she saw Zhao Shucheng's hand on her leg, and that her stockings had already been torn, she nodded shyly.

After Zhao Shucheng dropped Zhu Yan off at home, he only greeted her briefly because there was a nanny at home before driving back to his apartment. He washed up first before returning to school.

On the way, Zhao Shucheng saw Sheng Huainan, who was standing not far behind Luo Zhi as always, like her shadow.

At this moment, Zhao Shucheng was unsure how to face Sheng Huainan. His ex-girlfriend was his lover, and he had just been intimate with his aunt, Zhu Yan. He was also considered Sheng Huainan's elder.

Luo Zhi had no idea what Zhao Shucheng was thinking at that moment. She was worried that since she and Gu Senxiang hadn't gone to the company today, Ye Zhanyan would take the opportunity to woo Zhao Shucheng. Unexpectedly, she saw him at school.

"Qi Ming, shouldn't you be at the company handling work today?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "I've finished processing the documents. I just went to talk to someone about financing. After that, I naturally have to go back to school. By the way, where's Xiangxiang?"

"Since the last symposium, Xiangxiang has become a popular figure on campus. Now that Christmas Eve is approaching, the student council is preparing to hold an event and wants to invite Xiangxiang to be the host again, so she went to the student council with Zhanyan."

"Go with Zhan Yan?"

"Yes, they were all chosen by the host. They said that if the hosts take turns hosting, the effect will be better."

Zhao Shucheng frowned and said, "Did Xiangxiang agree on her own? Or was she notified by the student council and had no choice but to agree?"

"Of course, Xiangxiang herself wanted to go, saying that she wanted to improve her abilities so that she could train or give speeches to other employees in the company in the future."

"That works too. By the way, I'm going to check out the student council. Do you want to come with me?"

Luo Zhi's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. She said, "I won't go. I need to read some books. But we can have dinner together later."

"Okay, I'll go find Xiangxiang first. I'll call you when I'm done, and we'll have dinner together."

When Zhao Shucheng arrived at the student council, Gu Senxiang and the others had already finished their meeting and the host had been decided.

Gu Senxiang was very excited when she saw Zhao Shucheng. She ran over and hugged Zhao Shucheng's arm. Suddenly, she sniffed and asked, "What do you smell like?"

Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had taken a shower before coming, so there was definitely no smell. That meant the smell must be from his clothes.

"You mean the smell on the clothes? Well, it's from when I met with Zhu Yan to discuss financing. She drank too much, and the driver was on leave, so I helped her into the car and took her home. Maybe I picked up her perfume then?"

Gu Senxiang shook her head and said, "It's not just Zhu Yan's perfume, but also other people's perfumes, just like, just like Ye Zhanyan's perfume."

Zhao Shucheng chuckled and said, "Hey, I thought it was something else. You forgot, Ye Zhanyan came to the company to report to me before. Maybe that's when she picked it up."

Gu Senxiang was actually half-believing and half-doubting, but she was unwilling to force Zhao Shucheng to admit anything. She was also fully aware of Ye Zhanyan's little schemes, so she could only pretend that she knew nothing.

Ye Zhanyan had been worried that if Gu Senxiang found out anything, she would face a storm of criticism and might have to separate from Zhao Shucheng for a while.

Seeing that Gu Senxiang didn't pursue the matter, she patted her chest gently and breathed a sigh of relief. However, she didn't expect to catch a glimpse of Gu Senxiang's gaze, which didn't seem like she knew nothing.

This made Ye Zhanyan a little nervous. She realized for the first time that being a lover wasn't so easy, especially since her rival was her best friend. She really had to be careful to keep it a secret at all times so that the other party wouldn't find out.

After the three of them walked around the campus for a while, Zhao Shucheng, seeing that it was almost time, broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere and said:
"I ran into Luo Zhi when I came back. She was reading in the library and said she wanted to have dinner with us, so let's invite her to dinner."

Gu Senxiang nodded. She was also looking for advice from Luo Zhi on whether to ignore the problem or expose it directly.

Luo Zhi didn't expect that Gu Senxiang would discover Ye Zhanyan's little secret so quickly. Faced with Gu Senxiang's question, she didn't know how to answer, after all, she also secretly liked Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng was completely unaware of the infighting among the three women. If he had known, he would have made them confront each other directly. After all, Zhao Shucheng couldn't stand secrecy; he believed that speaking openly would resolve many issues and minimize problems.

Instead, if you keep things hidden and don't tell anyone, the problems will eventually fester. What may have started as a small issue will become a deeply entrenched problem by the time it's discovered, making it much harder to resolve.

Moreover, Zhao Shucheng has always been neither proactive nor refusing when it comes to women, nor is he responsible for them. Therefore, he would not give up a whole forest for a woman, nor would he seal his heart and stop loving for a single person.

Sheng Huainan followed them not far away, watching the group laughing and joking, his heart filled with bitterness. Now, he finally understood the bitterness of Luo Zhi's unrequited love, but he could no longer appear before her. In fact, because he hadn't helped Gu Senxiang when he recommended her for the hosting position, he had completely offended Luo Zhi, making her never give him a friendly look. (End of Chapter)
