Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

He paused deliberately, turning his gaze to Gu Yanqing beside him, his smile becoming even more humble, but his words concealed a sharp edge:

"Moreover, Mr. Gu's visit to Tianyu was entirely due to Sister Yun Shu's strong invitation and high regard for him."

"In terms of resource allocation and Sister Yun Shu's level of dedication, I can't compare to Mr. Gu."

"I'm already very satisfied to be able to sing the theme song for this movie thanks to Mr. Koo."

The moment those words were spoken, the room fell silent for half a second.

The reporters' eyes lit up immediately, their cameras clicking as they focused on the three of them, and even their breathing became rapid.

Does Lu Xingchen mean that Tianyu wants to poach Gu Yingdi from Dingsheng?!

These words were like a spark that ignited the entire scene.

The cameras that were originally aimed at the backdrop of the opening ceremony all turned around.

They were locked tightly around Liu Yunshu, Gu Yanqing, and Lu Xingchen, and even the air was filled with a tense excitement.

"Mr. Lu, do you mean that Actor Gu is about to sign with Tianyu?"

"President Liu, is Tianyu Entertainment planning to poach Dingsheng's top-tier artists?"

"Mr. Gu, is your contract with Dingsheng about to expire? Is this collaboration a prelude to signing with Tianyu?"

A barrage of sharp questions came flying at me.

Every word and sentence points to the idea that "Gu Yanqing rose to power by relying on Liu Yunshu's resources, and Tianyu secretly poached him."

Shen Hanzhou stood behind Liu Yunshu, looking at Lu Xingchen's innocent and docile appearance, his eyes filled with undisguised smugness.

This kid, he's really using his skill of playing the victim in the right place!

Gu Yanqing's mind was still reeling from Lu Xingchen's words.

Yun Shu invited me? She values ​​me? They can't compare to me?

Gu Yanqing's Adam's apple bobbed suddenly. He looked up at Liu Yunshu, the coldness in his eyes completely gone, leaving only an intense and unyielding tenderness.

He knew, of course, that he had gone to Tianyu on his own initiative, not at Liu Yunshu's invitation.

But what does it matter?

Those around her acknowledged her "high regard" for him, and even if it was a calculated statement, it was enough to warm his heart.

His gaze toward Lu Xingchen had lost some of its previous coldness, and instead held a hint of secret indulgence.

This kid knows how to talk.

Liu Yunshu raised her eyes to meet the reporters' burning gazes, her tone still languid, yet carrying an undeniable air of control:

"Xingchen, you're exaggerating. Mr. Gu is a top actor in the industry. The collaboration between Tianyu and Gu is a mutual choice and a perfect match. It's not a matter of who invited whom or who valued whom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Hanzhou suddenly stepped forward, raised an eyebrow at the camera, and smiled arrogantly, his eyes full of arrogance.

"However, to be fair, our CEO Liu is willing to personally act as a temporary agent. You probably won't find another like her in the industry."

"Actor Gu, you'd better perform well and not let President Liu down."

This statement, seemingly echoing others, actually conceals a sharp edge, confirming the gimmick of "resource allocation".

She was also subtly reminding everyone that Liu Yunshu's "special" treatment of Gu Yanqing required him to repay it with "performance".

This instantly put Gu Yanqing in the eye of the storm.

The reporters' camera shutters clicked even faster, and their questions were asked with hurried excitement:

"President Liu! Does President Shen mean that you have extremely high expectations for Actor Gu? Does this mean that Tianyu is planning to sign Actor Gu?"

"Mr. Gu! Faced with Tianyu's sincerity and President Liu's personal favor, would you consider switching jobs?"

"Mr. Lu! You just said 'benefiting from Mr. Gu's influence,' does that imply that Tianyu will subsequently allocate its core resources to Actor Gu?"

A barrage of questions, like a barrage of artillery fire, instantly brought the chaotic atmosphere of the scene to its extreme.

Lu Xingchen stood to the side, a triumphant smile hidden in his eyes, and obediently kept quiet.

Can't find a second one? Gu Yanqing's heart skipped a beat, and his fingertips quietly curled up at his side.

So, in her heart, I was such a special person.

Gu Yanqing's Adam's apple bobbed more and more noticeably. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the surging joy and tenderness in them.

Shen Hanzhou and Lu Xingchen glanced smugly at Gu Yanqing, who remained silent with his eyes down.

Panicked now? Your pride has been challenged. Let's see how you maintain that aloof attitude now!

The reporters were already used to Gu Yanqing's taciturn nature, so they immediately handed the microphone to Liu Yunshu.

They practically wanted to shove the camera right in her face, waiting for her to give an answer that would blow the entire internet away.

"Tianyu will issue an official announcement regarding the details of the cooperation and future plans. Thank you for your attention. The opening ceremony is now officially beginning. We appreciate the cooperation of all media friends."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an invisible pressure, and the previously restless reporters wisely retreated to the designated area.

After filming began, Lu Xingchen went to prepare for his new album, while Shen Hanzhou followed behind Liu Yunshu.

With Liu Yunshu, the big boss, overseeing the production, every detail, from costumes and props to scene direction, was meticulously controlled.

Even the most discerning veteran actors couldn't help but privately praise it, saying it was the most worry-free and professional film crew they had ever worked for.

Gu Yanqing gets into character very quickly; the gloomy and obsessive role seems tailor-made for him.

In front of the camera, his eyes were red at the corners, and a ferocious, madman-like aura surged in his eyes. Even the trembling of his fingertips was dramatic.

Looking at the monitor, Liu Yunshu's eyes were full of admiration.

That day, a night scene was filmed until the early hours of the morning, and Gu Yanqing was extremely immersed in the role.

Liu Yunshu watched his gloomy back, frowned slightly, and turned to the director, saying:

"Everyone's tired today, let's rest tomorrow."

The director hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, whatever Mr. Liu says!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of everyone in the crew, but no one dared to cheer loudly.

She breathed a quiet sigh of relief and quickly packed her things to return to the hotel.

Liu Yunshu followed leisurely behind Gu Yanqing.

The hotel corridor lights cast a warm yellow glow, elongating the two people's shadows, making them overlap and stagger.

Liu Yunshu had only lowered her head to reply to the message when, upon looking up again, Gu Yanqing's figure had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, and without stopping, she was pulled inside by a large, well-defined hand as she reached the corner.

It was a secluded corner, where the glow of the corridor lamps did not reach, leaving only a deep shadow.

Her fair face was pressed firmly against the cold wall, the faint scent of cedar emanating from Gu Yanqing lingering around her nose.

A trace of lingering malevolence from the play mingled with his scalding breath, which landed on her earlobe, carrying a burning heat.

"Yun Shu..."

His voice was terribly hoarse, still carrying the obsessive madness of his past roles.

His palms gripped her waist with such force that it felt as if he wanted to knead her into his very bones.

"You were watching me from behind the monitor just now, weren't you? Hmm?"

Interesting… A hint of excitement flashed in Liu Yunshu’s eyes. She didn’t struggle; instead, she slightly raised her eyes. “Yes…”

Her voice, tinged with the languor of the night, was like a feather gently brushing against the tip of one's heart.

It spread through the deep shadows, carrying a hint of knowing mockery: "If I don't look at you, who will I look at?"

These words completely ignited the remaining madness in Gu Yanqing's eyes, and he suddenly tightened his grip on Liu Yunshu's waist.

His knuckles turned white, pinning her firmly between the wall and his chest.

In the shadows, the red from the play still lingered at the corners of his eyes, like a cold star tempered by fire, burning and obsessive, fixedly locked onto her gaze.

"Look at me..."

His low, hoarse voice trembled with a broken quality, and his scalding breath enveloped the room.

The scent, a blend of cedarwood and menacing aroma, is incredibly aggressive, screaming, "Just look at me, okay?"

Liu Yunshu suddenly raised her head, her swan-like neck tracing a graceful yet taut arc.

A red flush rose at the corner of her eye, and a tear welled up from the corner of her eye, hanging on her eyelash like a shattered diamond.

Damn it! Foreplay!

Gu Yanqing lowered his head, his eyes filled with an almost overflowing obsession and madness, and even his breath was hot and anxious.

The tear hanging on her eyelash was like honey laced with poison, captivating his heart and soul.

The last shred of reason that remained completely crumbled at the sound of her languid yet alluring tone.

He didn't kiss her immediately, but gently pressed his forehead against hers, his nose brushing against her slightly cool cheek.

A hoarse voice, laced with intense possessiveness, murmured in the shadows, "Yun Shu, it feels so good..."

Damn it! You actually...

Suddenly... it was as if some kind of mechanism had been suddenly activated.

Liu Yunshu's fingertips unconsciously gripped the wall, and the redness at the corners of her eyes intensified.

The tear that had been hanging in the air finally fell, landing on the back of his hand that was gripping his waist.

"Yun Shu... Yun Shu..."

His burning lips brushed against the corner of her eye, gently wiping away a tear.

The salty, astringent taste mixed with her faint, cool fragrance instantly shattered all his reason.

"Yun Shu..."

His voice was broken beyond recognition, carrying the madness of his role yet mixed with his own unique tenderness.

"Stop looking at other people, okay?"

Liu Yunshu tilted her head slightly, a lazy smile curving her lips, her fingertips lightly tracing his taut jawline.

"Looking only at you, ignoring everyone else?"

Her voice was as soft as the mist in the night, with a hint of nonchalant flirtation.

Her fingertips were still gently caressing his jawline, the cool touch making Gu Yanqing's whole body tense up.

In the shadows, his hand gripping her waist tightened suddenly.

His fingertips almost dug into her soft flesh, and the red at the corners of his eyes grew even more intense, mixed with the lingering ferocity from the play, bordering on madness.

"Yes, just look at me."

His voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded, and his hot breath fell heavily on her lips.

So close, yet he restrained himself from falling, "In your eyes, there can only be me."
