The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 269 Go all out
Li Xiaoran didn't say anything more, but just looked outside defiantly.

It's normal. Women, when they get emotional, don't care about anything else. If it were Xu Jiuyang's situation, he would just beat her up on the bed, but since it involves Gao Yuanyuan, it's not appropriate to interfere.

So Xu Jiuyang asked, "Shall I take you back?"

"I want to come to your place," Li Dabai said sullenly.

Xu Jiuyang shrugged, started the engine, and drove onto the North Fifth Ring Road.

"Where are you going?" Li Xiaoran asked, noticing something amiss about the street scene outside.

"Come to my place." Xu Jiuyang asked, puzzled.

"This isn't Lido Waterfront! Where are we now?!" Li Dabai shouted, pointing outside. "We've even passed Wuyuan Bridge!"

“I’ve already cancelled the lease on the Lido Waterfront apartment and now I’m renting a small villa in Liuquan Garden,” Xu Jiuyang explained. “Didn’t you know?”

"How should I know!" Li Xiaoran exclaimed, her eyes wide. "When did you say that?!"

“I didn’t say that, but I asked Sister Yuanyuan to…” Xu Jiuyang thought for a moment, “I guess you two have been arguing these past few days, and she hasn’t had a chance to tell you yet.”

"I..." Li Dabai hesitated, then angrily pounded the cushion after a moment, "Why did you cancel the lease on that house? Couldn't you have kept it?"

"To be honest, Ranran, you've already left, and you took everything with you. There's no point in me keeping you here," Xu Jiuyang sighed loudly.

"You're keeping it for a reason!" Li Xiaoran was still a little angry, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "Stop the car, I'm getting off, I'm not going to your place!"

"Impossible. We're already on this pirate ship, there's no reason for us to get off." Xu Jiuyang snorted.

Li Dabai was a little annoyed and wanted to pinch his waist, but seeing that his hands were firmly gripping the steering wheel, she realized that she wasn't some kind of idiot and that she should be more important than the car. She could only watch him drive into the villa area with a sullen expression.

"It's not that big." After the car came to a complete stop, Li Xiaoran jumped out, looked at the two-story villa in front of her, and said in a deliberately indifferent tone.

"Why does it need to be that big? Even if it's as big as the Forbidden City, the sleeping area is still only a few square meters." Xu Jiuyang scoffed.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Li Xiaoran snorted. “Some people need a lot of space to sleep, maybe even tens of square meters, otherwise there won’t be enough room for them.”

"Is that so?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow, his gaze turning dangerous.

"Oh dear, did you forget to turn off the lights when you left? It's so bright!" Startled, Li Dabai quickly pointed to the villa and changed the subject.

“Some lights turn on automatically to create the feeling that someone is home, in order to prevent thieves from coming in.” Xu Jiuyang shrugged and went to open the door and enter the house.

However, upon entering the living room, he noticed something was amiss. Some lights, which weren't supposed to be automatic, were still on. Could someone else be there?
Before he could even determine if a thief had broken in, a familiar voice came from inside: "You're back? Why are you so late?"

Gao Yuanyuan then appeared in front of the two with a smile, but froze the next second, her face showing an expression of "I've come at the wrong time".

Li Xiaoran also widened her eyes, her gaze shifting back and forth between him and her. Not only that, she even felt a conflicted feeling, a mixture of shame that made her want to disappear and indignation that made her want to confront him.

Xu Jiuyang quickly stepped between the two women, then coughed and asked, "Sister Yuanyuan, is there something you want to discuss?"

"Um...ah...yes, about Yin Yin..." Gao Yuanyuan said quickly, trying to come up with a solution.

It's a good topic. Although the college entrance exam is over, Zhang Yin still wants to continue working part-time as a model—she's been doing print modeling work at Focus Media for the past six months, and she's been doing quite well. However, she doesn't know that the big boss of Focus Media is Angela, and that Ni Hongjie, one of the executives, is taking good care of her because Gao Yuanyuan has connections with Angela.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't tell her about this, but she couldn't just ignore it either, so bringing it up as an excuse at this moment was the perfect solution.

However, Li Dabai wasn't buying it. He turned directly in front of Xu Jiuyang, glared at Gao Yuanyuan, and demanded, "You said you had something to do tonight, is this what it is?!"

"Ranran..." Gao Yuanyuan wanted to say something, but Li Dabai didn't give her a chance: "I originally thought that although it was annoying for you to manage and instruct me like this, it was also for my sake. But I never expected... Gao Yuanyuan, you said you would get me a leading role and even have to go to Canada for location shooting. Is it because you think I've been hanging around in front of you for too long and you're tired of me? Are you trying to get rid of me so that I won't steal your man?"

When a woman is being unreasonable, she truly is unreasonable, but unfortunately, she's also dealing with another woman.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was initially a little embarrassed, immediately crossed her arms upon hearing this, and her gaze turned cold: "Li Xiaoran, tell me yourself, since you... what haven't I ever done for you? When haven't I ever tried to coax you? I'm just making a small request now, and you're already unhappy. Do you even consider me... a friend?"

"No need to beat around the bush, let's just say it directly," Li Xiaoran sneered. "Xu Jiuyang knows we've been sleeping together."

“You…” Gao Yuanyuan first widened her eyes, then a blush flashed across her face. She quickly glanced at Xu Jiuyang and then glared hatefully at Li Dabai: “I knew it, you definitely couldn’t keep your mouth shut.”

"Gao Yuanyuan! What do you mean?!" Li Dabai immediately stepped forward, somewhat exasperated, and even tried to bypass Xu Jiuyang.

"That's exactly what I mean. You're not happy, are you? You want to fight?!" Gao Yuanyuan was also furious.

Xu Jiuyang, who was originally trying to stop Li Xiaoran, couldn't help but feel miserable. Why was Sister Yuanyuan, who was usually so calm and elegant, acting like she didn't care about making things worse?
Sure enough, Li Xiaoran was clearly provoked, and she rolled up her sleeves to push Xu Jiuyang: "If you want to fight, then fight!"

"Wait, you guys... wait!" Xu Jiuyang tried to stop her, but as if things weren't going to go smoothly, Gao Yuanyuan also pushed him from behind and kept adding fuel to the fire: "Come on, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"Oh my god... how could you..." Xu Jiuyang gritted his teeth, suddenly opened his arms, grabbed one of them on each side, pinched their waists hard, and slapped them upwards.

"Ouch!"

"oops!"

Li Xiaoran and Gao Yuanyuan both cried out in pain, then turned to glare at him angrily, but quickly looked back at each other, appearing to be giving in.

Helpless, Xu Jiuyang gritted his teeth again, dragged them to the sofa, and pushed them all onto the sofa. Then he raised his two big hands and slapped them rhythmically.

"Stop! It hurts!"

What are you doing! Stop it right now!

At first, their voices were somewhat shrill, but they quickly became charming, and Xu Jiuyang's breathing became rapid, with fine beads of sweat appearing on the tip of his nose. An inexplicable pleasure surged in his chest, as if it were about to burst forth.

He was very familiar with this feeling; it always started like this whenever he rolled around with Gao Yuanyuan.

Yes, the same goes for Li Dabai, but he's still a little bit inferior to Gao Yuanyuan.

So he doesn't want to control it at all—in fact, he can't control it. He has tried, but unfortunately, it's useless except for making himself feel awkward and uncomfortable. In the end, he will always go all out.

Therefore? Therefore, we must do our utmost now to prevent them from fighting and to help them mend their rift.
