Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 715 Su Yu VS Ouyang Xian Yue
In the spacious and bright living room.

Qian Lele sat listlessly on the sofa, taking small bites of an apple.

He would occasionally look up and glance towards the study, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of worry.

What are my brother and Teacher Jiang talking about inside?

Why haven't they come out yet after chatting for so long?
She knew perfectly well that her brother had deliberately used that "kidnapping" joke to call Teacher Jiang over, not because he really wanted to ransom her, but because he had something important to discuss.

However, it was obvious that these things were not appropriate to say in front of her as a student.

Just then, the study door clicked open.

Qian Lele immediately stood up.

Footsteps approach.

Two figures walked into the living room, one after the other.

The older brother looked refreshed, with a faint smile on his lips.

But Teacher Jiang, who was following behind him, seemed a little strange.

His eyes darted around, and his steps were unsteady.

It's like a student who has made a mistake and has been severely reprimanded by the headmaster.

"Teacher Jiang, brother." Qian Lele greeted him with concern, her gaze mainly fixed on her teacher.

Jiang Yourong quickly adjusted her expression and forced a gentle smile: "Hey, Lele."

Tang Song stopped in his tracks, smiled, and said, "Lele, do you remember when we were exercising this morning, we discussed the potential problems caused by obesity and the disadvantages of not exercising regularly?"

Upon hearing the word "obese," Jiang Yourong's eye twitched, and she instinctively wanted to refute that she was only "slightly chubby"!
But he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Most importantly, he has a hold on her "little secret"...

Qian Lele was completely unaware of the turmoil in her teacher's heart and nodded seriously: "I remember! My brother said that obesity increases the burden on the body and affects cardiovascular health. Not exercising regularly will lower the basal metabolic rate and cause the body's functions to deteriorate."

Tang Song smiled approvingly, "Very good, you remember well. So, do you think that your teacher Jiang's health condition also urgently needs improvement?"

Qian Lele paused, then secretly glanced at Teacher Jiang, unsure whether she should tell the truth.

She had the most contact with Professor Jiang, so she naturally knew the professor's daily routine.

Although he is quite diligent in teaching and research, his daily life is extremely lazy.

If they can ride an electric bike, they will never walk; if they can sit, they will never stand; if they can lie down, they will never sit. Moreover, they especially love sweets and feel sleepy after eating carbohydrates.

This is clearly a sign of sub-health.

"Don't hold back, just say it," Tang Song encouraged. "Your teacher Jiang isn't someone who won't listen to advice, right?"

As Tang Song spoke, he reached out and affectionately patted Jiang Yourong on the back.

Jiang Yourong's large chest twitched, her face flushed slightly, but she still forced herself to say, "...Yes."

Having received the teacher's permission, Lele mustered her courage and cautiously said, "Teacher Jiang, I think it might be because I'm getting older that my metabolism is a bit slower, and sometimes I don't seem to have enough energy. So... appropriate exercise and a healthy diet will definitely be more helpful to your health."

Upon hearing the words "getting older," Jiang Yourong's eyes twitched again.

No way, Lele! I've always thought of you as my sweet little darling!

You actually managed to stab your teacher so precisely!

w(Д)w
Tang Song suppressed a laugh and nodded in satisfaction: "Well said. Now, your teacher Jiang is about to take a break from her job to work in a company. Isn't good health very important?"

"Yes!"

"Would you like to make your teacher, Ms. Jiang, healthier and more energetic?"

"Yes!" Qian Lele answered without hesitation, and this was the truth.

"Alright, I'll give you a new task." Tang Song handed over the A4 paper in his hand. "For the week after you return from your hometown, your task is to serve as your teacher Jiang's 'self-discipline supervisor.' This is her weekly special training plan."

Qian Lele was taken aback, then took the schedule.

The front is normal.

But when her gaze fell on the punishment measures at the end of the plan, her clear eyes widened instantly.

Supervision includes writing self-reflection statements, making people stand as punishment, and hitting their hands.

Qian Lele suddenly looked up, her cheeks flushed red, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Brother! This, this won't do! I don't think it's appropriate for me..."

Teacher Jiang is her mentor! She's an elder!

How could she punish a teacher like she would a primary school student?!

This is so embarrassing!
She absolutely couldn't bring herself to do it!

"Lele, this is also to help your teacher, Ms. Jiang," Tang Song patiently explained. "These punishments are just a formality; the purpose is to make her more disciplined. Just like in school, if a student doesn't finish their homework, doesn't the teacher give them a small punishment?"

Qian Lele looked at Jiang Yourong with a conflicted expression and seemed at a loss for what to do.

Jiang Yourong subconsciously looked at Tang Song.

The three people's gazes met in the air, forming an eerie closed loop.

Finally, under the pressure of Tang Song's gaze, Jiang Yourong stepped forward, striving to maintain the dignity of a teacher, and whispered:
"Lele, you know how self-disciplined I am, and I really need a supervisor as serious as you. I trust you, and if you supervise me, I will be more motivated to complete this assessment. Okay? Just think of it as helping me complete a very important task."

Hearing the teacher speak in person and elevating it to the level of a "work task".

Qian Lele's ethical pressure was greatly relieved.

She carefully looked at the schedule in her hand, and then at Teacher Jiang's expectant gaze.

Finally, as if accepting a great mission, she nodded firmly: "Okay! Teacher Jiang, I will definitely supervise you well!"

"You're so sensible. You must strictly follow this rule." Tang Song smiled and patted her head, making the final decision.

"Ahem..." Jiang Yourong cleared her throat, afraid that Tang Song would remember some evil plan again. "Well, now that the 'hostage' has been redeemed and the mission has been handed over, I still have some work to prepare tonight, so I need to leave quickly."

Qian Lele bit her lip and quickly replied, "Teacher Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll go pack my luggage."

After saying that, she lowered her head and quickly left.

We arrived at the guest room.

Looking at the room she had only stayed in for one day, she felt incredibly conflicted.

A soft, large bed, luxurious fragrance, warm, and pleasant air; clothes and shoes specially prepared for her in the walk-in closet…

Every detail is so realistic.

I'm so reluctant to leave!
She sighed, then quickly adjusted her mindset.

I gave myself a mental pep talk.

I took out my phone and snapped a picture of the guest room as a souvenir.

Then, she neatly packed her small canvas bag, changed back into the clothes she had come in, put on her coat, and returned to the living room.

"Brother, Teacher Jiang, I'm all packed."

"Hmm." Jiang Yourong had already regained her intellectual demeanor as a teacher and got up to go to her beloved student's side.

However, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the exquisite food, fruit, and desserts laid out on the coffee table.

My stomach twitched.

Noticing her gaze, Tang Song thoughtfully took a bag, put the food in, and told them to eat it on the way.

Jiang Yourong made a few feigned excuses, but then eagerly accepted it.

She was really starving.

The two walked together to the entrance and changed their shoes.

With a "click," the heavy double armored door was pushed open.

Jiang Yourong was the first to walk out, almost fleeing towards the elevator.

Qian Lele followed behind, but then stopped at the door.

She turned back again and glanced at the spacious, bright, and extremely luxurious single-level apartment.

Then he looked at Tang Song, who was standing in front of him.

Everything she experienced in that short day and a half flashed through her mind like a slideshow—

Exquisite cuisine, warm companionship, exciting VR games, and that warm feeling cherished by the Tang and Song dynasties and regarded as "family".

A strong impulse surged up inside me.

She suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Tang Song tightly.

"Goodbye, brother." Her voice carried a hint of longing and reluctance.

The hug was awkward yet forceful, carrying her unique, clean scent—a blend of sunshine and laundry detergent.

Tang Song was slightly taken aback, then reached out and hugged her back.

After a while.

Qian Lele let go of him, stood on tiptoe, and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

With her heart pounding faster than her footsteps, her face flushed, she turned and quickly followed Jiang Yourong, disappearing into the elevator.

This time.

Cinderella didn't put on a fancy dress or ride in a pumpkin carriage.

But she also had her own magical moments.

She participated in this "private ball" that belonged only to her and Tang Song, in the most authentic and pure way.

And before the bells rang, she left a kiss more real than the glass slipper.

After a long time.

Tang Song touched his cheek, sighed, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.

……

7 p.m.

Shenzhen, Tangyi Precision Innovation Center, the scene of the summit exchange dinner.

The dazzling crystal chandeliers illuminated the entire banquet space as if it were daytime, creating a warm and luxurious atmosphere.

The melodious string quartet flowed gently through the air, creating an elegant atmosphere for conversation.

Waiters in smart uniforms carried silver trays filled with champagne and delicate snacks, moving through the crowd.

Entrepreneurs, investors, and technology experts from all over the world gathered in small groups, holding wine glasses and talking in hushed tones.

"...Mr. Shen, we at Tencent Games are very interested in the 'Content Developer Incentive Program' you mentioned at the sub-forum this afternoon, and we hope to have the opportunity to have a more in-depth discussion with you in the future."

"Mr. Shen, I'm Zhang Yuan, from Hillhouse Capital, responsible for the hard technology sector. This is my business card. I'm very much looking forward to collaborating with [Xuanji Guangjie] on ecosystem investment..."

Holding a glass of champagne, Shen Yuyan skillfully dealt with the various bigwigs who came from all directions to probe, flatter, or seek cooperation.

After a full day of intense summit activities, she has fully integrated into her new role as Chief Ecosystem Officer and is enjoying the significant influence and respect that comes with it.

The only thing that made her feel a little regretful was that she did not receive a private meeting with Ms. Ouyang.

During the opening ceremony in the afternoon, they only looked at each other across the crowd and had a brief, polite chat, exchanging only a few words.

As soon as the summit forum ended, this elegant lady quietly left, clearly not intending to appear at such a relatively open exchange dinner.

This is consistent with her usual mysterious and low-key nature.

Perhaps at this moment, she is having a truly impactful meeting with founders of the same level in a more private setting.

Shen Yuyan's gaze swept across the banquet hall, quickly locking onto two figures not far away—

Zheng Qiudong was surrounded by several well-known figures in the venture capital circle, chatting and laughing.

Qin Yingxue, as the representative of [Qingning Technology], was naturally one of the most popular focuses of the event.

Shen Yuyan held her wine glass, secretly pondering the right moment to make her move.

She knew very well that Zheng Qiudong and Qin Yingxue were both core figures in Tang Song's inner circle with whom he had a very good relationship and a superior status.

I was able to quickly integrate into my new identity and gain a preliminary understanding of the complex internal structure of the [Xuanji Light Realm] thanks to the full assistance of Zheng Qiudong's team.

She desperately wanted to truly connect with such a person, not just in a working relationship.

This certainly stems from her innate ambition, but at this moment, it also carries an added layer of genuine longing inspired by the Tang and Song dynasties.

She wanted to understand his world more deeply and enter his heart.

Just as she was pondering, Qin Yingxue seemed to have finished a round of pleasantries, glanced over, and nodded slightly at her.

He then walked over with a leisurely gait, holding a wine glass.

Shen Yuyan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Chairman Qin, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see. Congratulations, Shirley, on becoming the Chief Ecological Officer of the Xuanji Light Realm." Qin Yingxue's voice was calm and gentle.

"Thank you, Chairman Qin. I still have a lot to learn from you and my seniors." Shen Yuyan adopted a very humble attitude.

"It's too noisy here." Qin Yingxue glanced at the bustling crowd around her and suggested softly, "If you don't mind, shall we go upstairs to the meeting room for a while?"

"Of course! Please go ahead!" Shen Yuyan replied, flattered.

The two arrived at the quiet VIP meeting room on the second floor, one after the other, and sat down facing each other.

After serving the hot tea, the waiter quietly withdrew, closed the door, and shut out the hustle and bustle downstairs.

Qin Yingxue picked up her teacup, her gaze falling on Shen Yuyan with a subtle scrutiny.

It must be admitted that the former campus belle of Yenching University of Science and Technology is outstanding in terms of appearance, figure, and performance at the summit.

Compared to Lin Muxue, who loved pleasure and whose thoughts were written all over her face, the person in front of her was clearly more like an "assistant" who could actually get things done.

Shen Yuyan took a deep breath and broke the silence first: "Chairman Qin, is there something you need from me?"

Qin Yingxue put down her teacup and smiled, "Don't be nervous, we're just chatting. Shirley, you've officially joined [Xuanji Light Realm], how's it going?"

"The challenges were great, but the rewards were also great." Shen Yuyan carefully chose her words. "Tangyi Precision's team is very professional, and Chairman Zheng's team also gave me tremendous support. I am honored to join them."

"That's good." Qin Yingxue nodded, then changed the subject, asking seemingly casually, "So, what's your impression of Chairman Ouyang?"

Shen Yuyan's expression hardened.

This came too suddenly; something was clearly wrong.

She pondered for a moment and replied cautiously, "Chairman Ouyang entrusted Secretary Chen to receive me, and I haven't met her alone yet. But she is an entrepreneur I greatly respect, with foresight and wisdom, and she is a role model for me to learn from."

Qin Yingxue gazed at her, smiled slightly, and did not reply.

A brief silence fell between them.

Shen Yuyan felt a little uneasy under Qin Yingxue's gaze, her back tensing slightly. After a moment, Qin Yingxue spoke calmly, "By the way, Shirley, have you heard anything about the upcoming [Smile Holdings] global shareholders' meeting?"

Shen Yuyan immediately sat up straight, her tone becoming sincere and excited: "Of course I've heard about it. I've always been a loyal fan of Director Jin. [Smile Holdings], as one of the world's most mysterious and largest top-tier holding groups, holds every shareholders' meeting..."

She then proceeded to offer a heartfelt and well-organized effusive compliment to Smile Holdings and Director Jin, highlighting their strategic planning, global influence, and Director Jin's personal charisma.

After all, the person in front of her was not only a director of Qingning Technology, but also one of the most trusted assistants of Chairman Jin Meixiao.

Qin Yingxue remained noncommittal, simply looking at her with a slight upturn of her lips.

"It seems Assistant Shen is indeed very enthusiastic. Perhaps when you arrive in New York, you can speak with Director Jin in person."

Shen Yuyan was taken aback, and said in astonishment, "Me? Go to New York? To talk to Director Jin? This..."

Seeing her bewildered expression, Qin Yingxue smiled and said, "It seems that neither President Tang nor Assistant Lin mentioned this to you. President Tang will personally attend the annual shareholders' meeting of [Smile Holdings]."

What?! Tang Song is going to attend the shareholders' meeting?!

Shen Yuyan's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

In that instant, her thoughts were almost completely jumbled.

Various doubts, hidden connections, and vague guesses seemed to piece together a startling outline in my mind.

She took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "So... what's the relationship between President Tang and [Smiling Holdings]...?"

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Qin Yingxue's reaction.

Qin Yingxue smiled faintly and picked up where she left off, saying, "Assistant Shen should know about the main shareholder structure of [Smile Holdings], right?"

Shen Yuyan immediately searched her mind for information and replied, "Director Jin himself, Tangjin Capital, Kate Trust Fund, three overseas asset management institutions, and two mysterious SPVs."

“That’s right.” Qin Yingxue nodded, adding calmly, “Those two SPVs ultimately merged into an offshore company called Silent Crown SPV Limited. And the actual controller of that company is President Tang.”

boom--

Shen Yuyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind going completely blank.

This earth-shattering shock was even a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than when she learned yesterday that she had been appointed "Chief Ecology Officer"!
She knows Smile Holdings very well, and of course, she knows that financial news and research reports have analyzed countless times that these two mysterious SPVs together hold 5% of Smile Holdings' equity.

Considering the unfathomable, trillion-level size of Smile Holdings, this is an astonishing figure and a tremendous amount of power.

That means—

Tang Song is the second most active individual shareholder after Jin Meixiao.

Immediately afterwards, all the confusion and misunderstanding in her mind cleared up.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he could freely command Rong Liu, Tang Yi, Qing Ning, and Tang Zong;
No wonder Director Jin's two core assistants, Shangguan Qiuyue and Qin Yingxue, both respected him so much;

No wonder Zheng Qiudong, Wu Kezhi, Anne Kate, and even Ms. Ouyang all appear in his scripts.

He is not a pawn or agent of capital, but a mastermind behind it.

A chilling sensation mixed with a dizzying, vertigo-like feeling instantly swept over her entire body.

Shen Yuyan's teeth began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and her soul felt as if it were about to leave her body.

"Chairman Qin..." She suppressed her excitement and fear, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "This is the first time I've heard of this."

"You'll soon see the results," Qin Yingxue said calmly. "Director Jin specifically instructed the board of directors of Smile Holdings to send a letter to President Tang, specifically inviting Assistant Shen to participate."

"Director Jin... specifically asked me to participate?" Shen Yuyan's eyes twitched.

"Hmm." Qin Yingxue stood up, her tone encouraging. "Director Jin has a good impression of you. I hope you cherish this opportunity, perform well, and don't disappoint her."

Shen Yuyan remained frozen in her seat, her mind completely blank.

Tang Song is the second-largest hidden shareholder of Smile Holdings after Jin Meixiao; Director Jin personally invited her to attend the global shareholders' meeting.

These successive, bombshell-level news reports completely shattered her logical thinking.

I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

It turns out that she had been in contact with a real "god" from beginning to end.

He is young, clear-headed, yet wields the most profound power of global capital.

Shen Yuyan's chest heaved violently, not from fear, but from a kind of ecstatic joy at being favored by fate.

At that moment, she felt incredibly fortunate.

Fortunately, her best friend Qingqing seized the opportunity to get involved with Tang Song, opening the door to the top world for her.

Fortunately, I was not bound by so-called pride and self-esteem. I took the initiative to move forward, chose to enter his system, and chose this difficult but bright path.

Fortunately, he never gave up on her and gave her a chance to prove herself.

And yet she was playing mind games and manipulating such a person.

Shen Yuyan gently closed her eyes, her fingertips trembling slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Tang and Song, please forgive my past shallowness and ignorance.

……

The city under the cover of night.

The traffic flowed like a golden river, and the neon lights surged like waves.

A low-profile black Toyota Alphard was driving silently on the main road.

In the spacious rear individual airline seat, Ouyang Xianyue wore a well-tailored dark gray haute couture suit dress that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous and mature curves.

Her legs, encased in flesh-colored stockings, were elegantly crossed, her fingers interlaced, and rested quietly on her knees.

The light and shadow from the window flowed across her elegant profile, brushing past her delicate earrings, graceful jawline, and subtly visible collarbone.

She didn't look at her phone or process any documents; instead, she gazed at the rapidly receding night view outside the window, her eyes deep and calm.

"squeak--"

The car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the JW Marriott Hotel and came to a stop in front of the exclusive VIP elevator lobby.

Secretary Chen Jing, sitting in the front row, softly reminded, "Ms. Ouyang, we've arrived."

"Ah."

Ouyang Xianyue responded, and the security personnel had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for her.

The group entered a private elevator lobby, took the private elevator directly to the 25th floor.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slid open slowly with a soft notification sound.

"Ms. Ouyang!"

Cheng Xiaoxi, who had been waiting at the elevator entrance, immediately bowed respectfully, her tone filled with undisguised awe.

Ouyang Xian Yue nodded slightly without saying anything, and led them into the corridor of the presidential suite.

The heavy door was slowly opened and then gently closed behind them.

The light inside the door was soft.

The others stayed in the outer hall, while Ouyang Xian Yue entered the spacious suite alone.

The air was filled with a subtle, sophisticated fragrance and a cool night breeze blowing in from the terrace.

She looked up and saw the figure standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

With her back to me, she gazed silently at the dazzling night sea of ​​Shenzhen outside the window, her figure tall and full of dynamism.

Her outfit tonight could be described as extremely "formal".

A backless gown, as smooth as black satin, perfectly accentuated her breathtaking waist-to-hip ratio. Her elegant shoulder blades and snow-white back shimmered with a delicate and alluring glow under the soft indoor lighting.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the silver-gray highlights at the ends swaying gently in the breeze.

The city's myriad lights seemed to serve as a backdrop, highlighting her waistline and shoulders.

Beautiful, lonely, unrealistically beautiful.

Ouyang Xian Yue slowly walked forward, her footsteps so light they were almost silent.

This time, facing Su Yu, an ally she had always admired and supported, she felt a strange sense of nervousness.

Although she was busy, she didn't make Su Yu wait here for a whole day.

Ultimately, it was her own heart that kept hesitating and weighing the pros and cons.

She knew that once she laid her cards on the table, the game surrounding the Tang and Song dynasties would never be the same again.

Besides Su Yu and Jin Meixiao, there are also Wu Kezhi, Zheng Qiudong, and others, who share their views and thoughts.

But she really couldn't wait any longer.

Tang Song is about to officially take over the [Xuanji Light Realm] after returning from New York.

This is the perfect opportunity; she must seize it and take that crucial step with him.

But how should I bring it up?

Some words are too heavy.

Some identities are just too difficult to break through.

Ugh--

"Sister Xianyue." Su Yu slowly turned around, a faint smile appearing on her flawless face, but one that didn't reveal much warmth. "You've come."

"Xiao Yu, have you been waiting long?" Ouyang Xian Yue's tone was gentle, with his usual composure and friendliness. "There were a lot of things to do at the summit, so I just managed to get away."

“Yes, I understand.” Su Yu extended her hand and made a “please” gesture.

The two sat down at the huge dining table, where exquisite dishes were already prepared and still steaming.

Ouyang Xianyue took the initiative to put a piece of her favorite dish on Su Yu's plate and gently inquired about her recent health.

The two then chatted about their experiences at the summit and the recent art exhibitions in Shenzhen.

The atmosphere was as harmonious as any of our countless private dinners with close friends in the past, impeccable.

When they had almost finished eating, Su Yu stood up and walked gracefully to the bar.

I opened a bottle of red wine that had already been decanted and poured a glass for each of us.

The wine appears as a deep ruby ​​red in the crystal glass.

Su Yu picked up two glasses of wine, and as she turned around, her black skirt swayed gently, like a butterfly in the dark night.

However, instead of returning to her seat, she took two glasses of wine and sat down next to Ouyang Xian Yue.

The two were very close.

One was stunningly beautiful and ethereal, the other was elegant and graceful.

Its powerful aura rubs and collides with the air.

A subtle atmosphere began to stir between the two.

A moment later, Su Yu raised her glass first, her smile becoming even more refined. "It's been a long time since I've had such a relaxed time drinking and eating with Sister Xianyue."

"Yes, it's been almost a year."

"Clink~~" The two crystal glasses gently clinked together.

Ouyang Xianyue's fingers tightened slightly, and she took a sip of cool red wine with her red lips.

"Congratulations, Sister Xianyue. After Tang Song returned, he actually took over the [Xuanji Light Realm] on your territory."

Ouyang Xian Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure. "This is a strategic necessity for the group. After all, it involves the next generation of human-computer interaction interfaces, which is also a technological field that Tang Song himself is very interested in."

Su Yu didn't reply, but instead took a big gulp of wine.

Seeing this, Ouyang Xian Yue changed the subject and asked in a concerned tone, "By the way, when will your new movie 'Parallel Dawn' wrap up filming? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Filming is finished." Su Yu's tone seemed more relaxed. "Next is post-production. Because it's a science fiction genre, it requires a lot of special effects."

"Yes, I'll definitely go see it as soon as it's released. I'm a loyal fan of yours," Ouyang Xian Yue said with a gentle smile.

"Then thank you for your support, Sister Xianyue." Su Yu looked at her, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful amber eyes, and suddenly chuckled, "Speaking of which, Tang Song had a cameo role in this movie with three scenes. They were all filmed exceptionally well, and I really liked them."

Ouyang Xian Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes becoming a little more serious. "Xiao Yu, I mentioned this to Xiang Wan before. You can keep these shots for your own viewing, but you absolutely cannot let his face appear on the big screen, and you certainly cannot allow his name to appear in the cast list."

However, this time, Su Yu did not obediently nod as usual, but instead revealed an extremely alluring and charming smile.

"why not?"

Her lips, glistening with a dangerous sheen under the red wine, made Ouyang Xian Yue's heart flutter slightly.

"I've waited all these years for him to finally agree to a cameo role with me this time. Not only do I want his name to appear in the cast list, but I also want to..." She leaned closer to Ouyang Xian Yue and said, word by word, "I also want to use the scene where he proposes to me as the first promotional trailer for the movie, and release it next week!"

"Su Yu!" Ouyang Xian Yue's face instantly darkened. She stood up abruptly, her composed demeanor shattered, and her tone carried a stern warning, "Have you considered the consequences of your actions?!"

"Consequences?" Su Yu downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, then slammed it down. "All these years, I've been considering the consequences, but have I gotten what I wanted?!"

Ouyang Xian Yue forced herself to calm down, softening her tone as she tried to reassure him, "You've seen the change in Tang Song. His attitude towards you is completely different now. Besides, isn't he going to spend Christmas and your birthday with you?"

"But he'll go see Jin Meixiao first!" Su Yu's emotions erupted instantly, her face a mask of madness and despair. "You know, I'm different from his other women. Once she and Tang Song really get together, I'll be left out..."

“You know how many times I’ve been humiliated when I tried to book his appointments with Kim Mi-so.”

“I know Jin Meixiao too well—her methods, her disgust and fear of me…”

"I'm scared! I'm scared of going through that again! I'm scared that after another birthday, he'll leave me forever! I can't wait any longer, I don't want to wait anymore!"

Su Yu's tears fell, her voice filled with hysterical madness.

It precisely struck at Ouyang Xian Yue's deepest worry.

This was exactly what she had been worried about, which is why she wanted to get involved.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Su Yu would choose such an extreme suicidal action.

"Xiaoyu, calm down. I'll help you with Jin Meixiao. I promise you, it will never come to that again!"

"How can you help me?"

Su Yu's expression softened slightly. Her tears were still wet, and a hint of sober irony appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

She looked at Ouyang Xian Yue, then suddenly leaned forward, closing the distance to just a few centimeters.

They were as intimate as lovers, yet filled with intense aggression, almost able to feel the temperature of each other's breath.

"Would you really be willing to personally step into the fray and compete with Kim Mi-so for my affections? How could that be possible, given your noble status."

"Although we are friends and allies, I am aware of my own limitations..."

“I am not important enough for you to sacrifice your body and reputation for me.”

A madness seemed to be burning in Su Yu's eyes.

Ouyang Xian Yue raised his hand and grasped her cold wrist. "Calm down first. Actually... it's not impossible."
