Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 75 1 Million Euro Rebate! Old Tang's Triple Explosion! Lu Yunzhou, Human-Shaped Pixiu Destiny!

Faced with Chen Yuqi's question, Zhang Ruonan pondered for a long time and finally came up with a solution.

She looked up at Chen Yuqi with a beaming smile: "Sister Qiqi, you were born in 1992, and I was born in 1996. You're four years older than me; you're my older sister. How can you be my younger sister?"

"What you said makes sense."

Chen Yuqi nodded slightly, then, on a sudden inspiration, said, "So, I'm [Auntie]?"

"Uh-huh."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan nodded hurriedly.

Being an aunt is no problem.

Being a aunt is absolutely out of the question.

"By the way, Xiaonan, I heard you're going to Italy again next month. Is Italy fun? I really want to go too."

Chen Yuqi looked at Zhang Ruonan with some envy.

Although Zhang Ruonan has never revealed it to the public, Chen Yuqi can roughly guess that Zhang Ruonan definitely has shares in the "Swan Tears" brand.

Because when Zhang Ruonan wasn't filming, she would constantly make phone calls and frequently take out a calculator, looking down and doing calculations.

She looks exactly like a boss lady.

"Italy is not fun at all."

"Sister Qiqi, believe me, unless you want to experience how to avoid being thieved from every angle—otherwise, don't go to Italy!"

In the past, Zhang Ruonan might have excitedly dragged Chen Yuqi along to Italy.

But this time it won't work.

Her trip to Italy was to assert sovereignty.

Being the legal representative of the household is an endless task, cleaning the main house is a never-ending task, and dealing with countless mistresses is a constant task—these are the three daily tasks of a "madam" in the Chaoshan region.

But it's actually pretty much the same in Wenzhou.

These two regions share a common characteristic: the men like to venture out and explore, either becoming dragons or worms.

Such men, who gamble with their lives, possess a frenzied, desperate quality, brimming with wild charm.

This kind of charm is fatal to many women.

Therefore, it's not uncommon for men to have affairs outside the home—in fact, if a man can't find a mistress outside the home, his family will consider him a good-for-nothing.

For Zhang Nuonan, since her family's business, she no longer needed to be the legal representative.

She did want to clean the big house, but Lu Yunzhou clearly had no intention of buying a house or building one back in his hometown.

And now, the third task, "catching up on Auntie's details," has finally been put on the agenda.

That's more like it!

This is the rhythm of life she's familiar with!

She thought Lu Yunzhou was "good-for-nothing" outside, not even having a few mistresses?

If that's the case, won't people laugh at me when I go back to my hometown?

After all, Lu Yunzhou's uncle could find a younger sister-in-law in Italy—as the saying goes, a nephew resembles his uncle, and in Zhang Ruonan's eyes, Lu Yunzhou was better than his uncle no matter what.

Tang Yan Studio.

"Has the data come out yet?"

Ji Rujing hasn't come to work at the studio for several days. She spends all her time at Lu Yunzhou's film and television studio across the street, constantly revolving around Lu Yunzhou.

Ji Rujing's situation is like someone who once had a daughter the age of Tang Yan, and suddenly had a son late in life.

And Lu Yunzhou is her beloved son.

Now, she only cares about her precious son, whether he is well-fed and warmly dressed—she no longer cares about her grown-up daughter, "Tang Yan".

She made a rare appearance today.

Because the TV series "The Princess Weiyoung," starring Tang Yan and Luo Jing, finally aired last night.

"President Ji, the ratings are excellent!"

"Both Beijing TV and Shanghai Tomato TV have achieved ratings exceeding 2%—this is definitely the year's blockbuster!"

"As expected of Sister Tangtang, this year has been incredibly smooth sailing, she's doing exceptionally well!"

"After all, we invited a God of Wealth last year."

Tang Yan has indeed had a very successful year.

From the hugely popular drama series "The Day Is Coming" at the beginning of the year, followed by the movie "The Speeding Racer", and then another hugely popular drama series "The Princess Weiyoung" in November.

Three consecutive blockbusters in one year! Who else can do that?

As for the films that flopped in the middle, such as "Partners in Crime," "Bounty Hunters," and "A Chinese Odyssey Part Three," Tang Yan really wants to ask, "Did I make these films?"

Does anyone remember that I made these movies?

Nobody remembers?

See—I told you I hadn't taken any!

"Tangtang, 'The Princess Weiyoung' is doing very well. I checked the comments on my way to work, and they were overwhelmingly positive. Everyone says you acted exceptionally well."

Ji Rujing offered Tang Yan a few very sincere compliments.

Hearing this, Tang Yan smiled and said, "It's alright. After all, it's a drama produced by my own company, so it can't be too bad."

Filming a movie on your own is a completely different experience from filming with other directors.

During filming, the entire crew revolved around Tang Yan, all in order to create her character.

In this way, regardless of the content and quality of the entire drama, it will absolutely prevent any female star from overshadowing her in this drama.

To put it bluntly, in a female-centric drama, it's practically impossible for a supporting actress to outshine the lead actress.

Unless, of course, the female lead's character is absolutely terrible.

This time, Tang Yan found the script herself, and the screenwriters were all from her company—she would rather break the plot logic than let the female lead's character collapse.

In this situation, how bad could her evaluation be?

"No wonder Yunzhou doesn't go to other people's film crews. Even when he wanted to join 'Wolf Warrior 2,' he was prepared to first take over Wu Jing's directing rights."

Tang Yan sighed, then asked, "By the way, Sister Ji, what has Yunzhou been up to these past few days? I haven't seen him in ages."

Ji Rujing sat opposite Tang Yan, poured herself a cup of tea, and casually said, "He works overtime at the company every day, and you're always out and about—it's no wonder you two would run into each other under these circumstances."

Hearing this, Tang Yan's eyes lit up, and she tentatively asked, "How about I stay at the company for a few days? It's almost the end of the year, let's calculate how much money we've made this year?"

Is that how you keep accounts?

I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it.

Ji Rujing smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Seriously. The end of the year is approaching, and you've become very popular this year, so you've received many invitations to participate in events."

"I'll make a list for you first, and then I'll have Xiao Li go with you later."

"On November 20th, I participated in the Baidu Celebrity Thanksgiving Season event in Shanghai."

"On November 28th, I went to Changsha to record 'Happy Camp'."

"On December 1st, you have a TV series called 'The Woman on the Bread Tree,' and you need to attend some TV station events."

"On December 6th, I'm going to Yanjing to attend a fan festival for Rayli fashion magazine, as well as a beauty awards ceremony."

"December 9th, Marie Claire China Style Super Gala red carpet event."

"On December 13th, Beijing TV will be recording 'A Date with Luyu.' The host will most likely ask you some questions about Yunzhou. Don't talk too much about it; just talk about things that are already known to the public."

"Back in Shanghai on December 16th for the ELLE Style Awards!"

"December 20th, the National Drama Awards."

"December 31st, Shanghai's Tomato TV's New Year's Eve Gala."

"I should be back after New Year's Day—but for the month before that, you'll have to rely on yourself."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Tang Yan's eyes widened, and she pouted angrily.

She looked at Ji Rujing with a puzzled expression: "Sister Ji, are you planning to run away?"

"More or less."

Ji Rujing didn't refute, but nodded in deep agreement.

Seeing Tang Yan about to stand up in shock, she couldn't help but laugh: "Just kidding. For the next month, I have to go to Italy with Yunzhou to pull off something big!"

"If we close this deal, we can just relax for the next few decades."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan immediately became excited.

She felt like she was about to be carried away again.

"Sister Ji, please speak slowly. I'll go close the door."

Tang Yan took long strides and strode up to close the office door.

Back in her seat, Tang Yan pulled Ji Rujing aside and whispered, "Sis, tell me a secret. I promise I'll keep it a secret. Is it about the movie?"

"no."

Ji Rujing slowly shook her head: "Yunzhou doesn't need my help with the movie. He can easily handle it on his own."

"Right now, Miss Fu Bingxing from Huace is probably in his office, begging him to increase the investment amount. Otherwise, Huace's investment share is too small, and its performance in the financial market will look terrible."

Lu Yunzhou has secured sufficient investment for the "Abyss" project.

Moreover, he had the finance department calculate it carefully, and the project should be sufficient.

Most importantly, the male lead doesn't receive a salary; instead, he receives a share of the box office revenue after the film's release. This method of postponing costs allows for a significant reduction in investment upfront.

His actions made all the other investors realize that this movie was guaranteed to make a profit.

Otherwise, why would Lu Yunzhou, the male lead and director, refuse to accept payment upfront, preferring instead to receive a share of the box office revenue after the film's release?

Since it's a sure-fire way to make money, who would want to miss it?

Immediately, many investors from the domestic film and television industry flocked to Lu Yunzhou, wanting to invest money in him and ask him to help them take off.

These past few days, Lu Yunzhou has been working overtime at the company every day because there have been too many investors coming, and he has to take time out to entertain them, which has wasted a lot of his time.

"Not a movie? Then what is it?"

Tang Yan looked at Ji Rujing with curiosity.

Ji Rujing beckoned Tang Yan closer with his finger before whispering, "There's one next to the Milan Cathedral, the Milan Galleria, you know it, right?"

"I know."

Tang Yan nodded slightly and said, "At the end of August, didn't I go to Italy to film 'Europe Raiders' with Tony Leung? I visited there at the time; many global luxury flagship stores are located there. I heard that the rent there is extremely expensive, with a single store costing millions of euros."

"I even thought that if I could have a shop there, I probably wouldn't have to do anything and could just lie around all day."

"I even asked around to find out how much the shops here cost. Later I learned that these shops all belong to the Milan City Hall and cannot be bought or sold privately."

As someone addicted to buying houses, Tang Yan couldn't help but inquire about local house prices and rent-to-price ratios wherever she went, looking for any opportunities to buy.

"You're right."

"The rent in the Milan Galleria is extremely expensive; the rent per square meter per year can be around 15000 euros."

"Didn't Borsalino, an Italian handmade hat brand with a 160-year history, declare bankruptcy recently?"

"That hat brand's store location is excellent; we're considering whether to acquire it."

Ji Rujing revealed a little secret to Tang Yan.

After all, Tang Yan, as a minority shareholder of [Swan Tears], also has the right to know.

"Is it in the core area of ​​the octagonal dome? I think I've been to that hat shop before. This shop actually declared bankruptcy?"

"This is a 160-year-old brand."

Tang Yan had some recollection of that hat shop because she bought a leather hat there and thought it looked pretty cool.

Unexpectedly, it's going bankrupt.

It evoked a sense of loss and regret in her.

"Yeah, that hat shop is going to go bankrupt."

"However, that shop's location is really good, and we're considering whether to rent it."

"However, Yunzhou feels that the shop rents there are too expensive. It's close to 15000 euros per square meter. It's not worth it."

He said that there are many stand-alone buildings facing the street on the north side of Piazza del Duomo, about 50 meters away from the Galleria Vittorio Estádio, and the purchase price is only about 2 euros per square meter.

Rent or buy?

They are currently considering it.

No sooner had Ji Rujing finished speaking than Tang Yan jumped up and exclaimed, "The Milan Promenade has an annual rent of 15000 euros per square meter? And 50 meters away, the purchase price is 2 euros per square meter? Of course, we should buy it!"

Ji Rujing nodded slightly and continued, "Yunzhou's mother has her eye on a detached house of about 1000 square meters. The asking price is 2000 million euros, and the annual property tax is 2%, which is 40 euros!"

Although buying is more cost-effective than leasing.

But Tang Yan knew that there must be some hidden problems here.

Otherwise, why would the Milan Galleria be priced so high, while the adjacent standalone buildings are relatively cheaper?

The price difference is too big.

"no the same."

Ji Rujing gently shook her head: "One is a world-class scenic spot, and the other is an ordinary street next to the scenic spot. Although they are not far apart geographically, the actual flow of people can be three times different."

The Galleria Vittorio Estádio is a tourist attraction, and with its concentration of luxury goods, its sales volume is vastly different from that of the standalone buildings outside.

No one in this world is a fool.

There must be a reason why it's cheap.

Tang Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood something, and said with a smile, "Yunzhou, is it that you only want a prime location in the Milan Corridor, but you're complaining about the high rent?"

"That's right!"

Ji Rujing nodded firmly: "He said that although the standalone buildings outside the Milan Galleria are cheaper, they have 60% less foot traffic, and he doesn't like dealing with fixed assets—"

Ji Rujing wondered if it was just her imagination, but she couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yunzhou had been trapped in real estate speculation before.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

I have a deep-seated hatred for houses, a type of real estate.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Rujing added, "Yunzhou said he has a way to persuade the Milan City Hall to rent him the prime location of the hat shop that went bankrupt before at a very low price."

I understand!

Tang Yan suddenly realized something, stood up, and couldn't help but applaud: "That kid Yun Zhou is simply a super shrewd businessman!"

"I knew it! Why would he go to Italy for no reason, do a global live stream, and replicate some world-famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci?"

"He's definitely after the Milan City Hall, those tens of millions of euros in rent reductions!"

Lu Yunzhou certainly wouldn't be so bored as to inexplicably go to Italy to replicate Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.

Besides marketing himself as a super-popular celebrity, Lu Yunzhou's biggest goal was actually to earn rent reductions from the Milan City Hall!

The rent for a prime location in Milan's Galleria can amount to millions of euros a year; even a 50% reduction would still be a huge sum.

"That's what I think too."

Ji Rujing smiled and nodded in deep agreement: "He never suffers a loss and always finds a way to make up for it from other sources."

"However, he doesn't like negotiating or pulling strings with people. So, I'm the only one who can handle this kind of thing."

"Several million euros in rent reduction per year, with leases potentially lasting 20 to 25 years—that means this is a deal involving 1 million euros!"

"I have no choice but to go and help myself."

I understand!

That's 1 million euros!

Even if the sky falls, this is the first thing I have to do!

Tang Yan felt that her work and the various gala events were nothing special—she had attended countless fashion banquets and grand ceremonies over the years, and could do them with her eyes closed.

There's no need for Ji Rujing, the agent, to accompany them throughout the entire process.

"Sister Ji, thank you for your hard work."

Tang Yan wished she could fly directly to Italy to witness firsthand how Lu Yunzhou managed to extract millions of euros in rent annually from the Milan City Hall for such a large deal.

I really want to see that famous scene.

It is absolutely a world-famous painting.

Unfortunately, she still has to run her own job.

But just thinking about it makes me feel that the scene must be incredibly cool!

As November drew to a close, the entertainment industry became increasingly lively.

Tian Xiwei attends school in the morning and trains with the martial arts team in the afternoon. Around 4 p.m., she comes to Lu Yunzhou's place to make herself known.

She would occasionally buy some fruit to give to Lu Yunzhou.

After all, she's not short of money now.

She received a 200 million yuan signing fee in one go, and her mother returned 1 yuan to her every month, making her a little rich woman.

When it comes to food and drink, there's no need to be so strict with yourself anymore.

"Big brother, I've peeled the apple for you."

Lu Yunzhou has been carrying an apple around every day lately. Tian Xiwei thought Lu Yunzhou liked apples, so she bought him a lot of different kinds of apples and brought them to the office.

Thank you.

Lu Yunzhou would certainly not refuse the gifts offered by his subordinate.

He took a bite of the apple with his right hand, then lowered his head and gently traced something with his left hand.

He's marking grids on the map, and he's getting faster and faster.

After all, Leonardo da Vinci was also a master of grid-based drawing, and Lu Yunzhou was getting used to the abilities of this hand.

Tian Xiwei watched for a while, then, feeling a bit bored, took out her phone and started browsing Weibo.

While scrolling through her phone, she asked, "Brother, have you seen the news? Hendrik Willem Van Loon received the 89th Academy Honorary Award, becoming the first Chinese actor to receive this honor! That's amazing!"

After a while, Tian Xiwei said, "Big brother, the movie 'I Am Not Madame Bovary' was released yesterday, and its box office on the first day was 7000 million."

For an art film, this is a pretty good result.

In this film, Fan Bingbing sacrificed her acting skills and fashionable image to play a rural woman—however, the audience gave her a barrage of negative reviews.

Because she is so beautiful, she couldn't pull off the rustic charm of a rural woman. Netizens commented that Yan Ni might have been a better choice.

Besides that, the real highlight of the film's release was the feud between Feng Xiaogang and Wang Junkai, the son of Wanda Group's chairman!

All netizens were drawn to the feud between the two, resulting in no one discussing the movie at all.

"Wow, big brother, Zhang Liangying secretly ran off to Italy and married Feng Ke!"

"Is she crazy?"

"I remember a while ago, didn't her mother write a short essay saying that she had been scammed by Feng Ke?"

"She's so disobedient."

"If I have a daughter like that in the future, I will definitely beat her to death."

The gossip in the entertainment industry is just too entertaining.

Tian Xiwei has been eating melons all day, but she hasn't finished yet.

After she finished reading this gossip, she was about to take a break when she discovered something even more exciting.

[Night Light Script] Round 2 is here.

The female lead, Wang Ou, began to respond to the "script reading in the dark" incident. In short, she said that it was just a matter of colleagues reading each other's scripts, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Then, when the paparazzi saw that Wang Ou actually dared to respond, they immediately exposed the timeline of Liu Kaiwei and her eight days together, giving netizens a big juicy scoop.

Incidentally, the paparazzi also tagged Yang Mi, asking her what she thought.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"I wonder how Yang Mi will respond?"

Tian Xiwei secretly registered a new account and went to Yang Mi's Weibo to watch the drama unfold.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people who came to watch the drama unfold, just like Tian Xiwei.

At this moment, countless people united in front of Yang Mi's Weibo.

"Poor old friend! She had such a terrible teammate like Liu Kaiwei!"

"Once bitten, twice shy. Other celebrities will remember this: whenever they have a scandal, they immediately pay money to cover it up and suppress the news—but Liu Kaiwei did the complete opposite. Not only did he not suppress the news, he also stood up to the paparazzi. Now look what happened! The whole internet knows."

"This paparazzi has really gone all out, laying bare so many details to prove their professionalism—it's absolutely solid evidence!"

"Liu Kaiwei is definitely going to be hammered to death."

"【Night-lit script】What genius came up with this phrase? It will definitely be in the dictionary of idioms hundreds of years from now."

""

"Old honey, old honey, serves you right for dating an older man! Look at that silly girl over there, ever since she picked up a handsome young man and brought him home, everything has gone smoothly for her."

"Everyone says she brought home a Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and prosperity). It's like she's attracting a lot of money and treasures."

Some people just made a few casual remarks.

Unexpectedly, a professional suddenly appeared below and explained the situation to everyone: "Regarding how to raise a mythical creature, I am a professional in the field, and I have something to say."

"In fact, there are many kinds of Pixiu. Metal Pixiu, such as those made of bronze, are suitable for those whose Five Elements are lacking the element of metal."

Yangmi is a perfect breed to raise.

"Obsidian Pixiu has strong protective power and is suitable for people with low luck — Liu Kaiwei should place one in his home."

.

"Besides, jade Pixiu is warm and gathers energy, making it suitable for most people. I have one at home. Since I started keeping this Pixiu, I've been in good health, have good luck, and my business is going smoothly."

Suddenly, a master appeared under Yang Mi's Weibo post.

This left the netizens who had come to watch the spectacle momentarily stunned.

It's already the 21st century, and there aren't many people who truly believe in this kind of feng shui superstition; most people just treat it as something fun.

On Tian Xiwei's alternate account, after seeing someone commenting on Lu Yunzhou's Pixiu destiny, she glanced at Lu Yunzhou, then lowered her head and typed furiously, "Master, I would like to ask, what type of Pixiu does Lu Yunzhou belong to?"

"Hey, that's a good question!"

At this point, the master immediately became excited: "Lu Yunzhou likes to wear black to most occasions. And in our line of work, black is mainly used to ward off evil spirits—"

"Think back carefully, ever since Tang Yan met Lu Yunzhou, wasn't the previous 'petty person curse' directly neutralized by Lu Yunzhou?"

Everyone knows who the villain is referring to.

However, this is Yang Mi's Weibo account, and it's full of her fans. I can't say too much, lest someone open the box and reveal the truth offline.

Therefore, he speaks with great tact.

"In addition, Lu Yunzhou always likes to wear gold products."

"7

"As I just said, those lacking the element of metal in their Five Elements can enhance their luck by encountering a metal Pixiu. This is a typical metal Pixiu; how much luck has it helped Tang Yan increase this year?"

"If Sister Mi had been able to bring Lu Yunzhou under her wing back then, the betting agreement would have been completed long ago, and she could have rested her head on her feet, kicked Uncle Liu aside, and found a handsome young man to warm her bed."

"What a pity—"

After letting out a soft sigh, the master continued, "Tang Yan was born with the [White Tiger煞]—you all should understand what I mean by this White Tiger煞, right?"

"In fact, this evil influence is extremely unlucky, and if an ordinary person doesn't handle it well, they will definitely lose both their health and wealth. Tang Yan is born with this White Tiger evil influence, which under normal circumstances will either harm others or herself. In any case, someone will eventually be injured."

"However, Tang Yan just happened to encounter Lu Yunzhou, who has the destiny of a Pixiu (a mythical creature), and that's when things got really interesting —"

How powerful is it?

This sparked not only Tian Xiwei's curiosity, but also netizens' excitement, who kept asking questions.

Everyone felt an unbearable itch, as if being scratched by a cat.

However, at the crucial moment, the master's account was deleted.

After finishing her online gossip, Tian Xiwei was still somewhat unsatisfied. She looked up at Lu Yunzhou and muttered in confusion, "A Pixiu? How does it resemble one?"

In Tian Xiwei's memory, the Pixiu only takes in and never gives out.

Moreover, it looks like a toad; it's incredibly ugly.

Lu Yunzhou looks nothing like a toad.

In addition, in Tian Xiwei's mind, Lu Yunzhou is extremely generous and kind to everyone around him. The entire company likes Lu Yunzhou very much.

Her best friend, Wang Churan, was already head over heels for Lu Yunzhou and was determined to become his sister-in-law.

Of course, she is also a big fan of Lu Yunzhou.

However, she can still distinguish between following celebrities and working.

Yang Mi's studio.

"Why!"

"Liu Kaiwei, Wang Ou—are you two trying to kill me?"

Looking at the messages on Weibo, Yang Mi was really overwhelmed.

She's been having a lot of bad luck lately, a stark contrast to the smooth sailing of the previous two years. And the turning point for all this is the appearance of Lu Yunzhou.

From then on, Tang Yan seemed to have stolen all her luck and instead brought all the misfortunes, or the "White Tiger Curse," upon her.

Yang Mi felt that nothing she did had gone smoothly in recent years.

"You naive fool, you're so cunning! You actually managed to find a human-shaped Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring good fortune)!"

Speaking of Pixiu, Yang Mi suddenly remembered another famous Pixiu rumored in the entertainment circle, Miss Jing Tian.

Rumor has it that Miss Jing Tian is the kind of beautiful creature that only takes in but never gives out; anyone who works with her will have their luck completely drained by her.

Therefore, within this circle, everyone avoids Miss Jing Tian like the plague.

Lu Yunzhou is quite something, actually daring to take a bullet for Miss Jing Tian?

Isn't he afraid of having his luck drained?

"Since you're willing to take a bullet for Jing Tian, ​​you must have been mentally prepared—"

Yang Mi was very unhappy when she saw that all the comments on her Weibo were about Tang Yan and Lu Yunzhou.

She was once the leading actress among the post-85 generation, and Tang Yan was merely a stepping stone for her.

But now, Tang Yan has had three breakout hits in a year, and her net worth has skyrocketed, while he himself is overwhelmed by the "script reading in the dark" problem.

Why does all the good luck fall on Tang Yan?

Isn't it because she found Lu Yunzhou, this human-shaped Pixiu?

Since that's the case, let Jing Tian go and meet him.

Yang Mi wanted to see whether Lu Yunzhou's Pixiu destiny was stronger or Jing Tian's luck-absorbing constitution was stronger.

At this moment, Yang Mi chuckled a few times, picked up the phone, and dialed Miss Jing Tian's number: "Tian Tian, ​​are you back from North America? I heard you have a good relationship with Director Lu Yunzhou. It seems there's been some misunderstanding between us. Could you act as a mediator and help smooth things over?"

"You're not very close to him? You're joking. He'd even take a bullet for you. He's been avoiding seeing you because he's afraid of being captivated by you."

"You understand. Men like him have a very strong desire for control and don't like their hearts being disturbed by women. Sometimes, you can take the initiative."

Go find him!

You two, a battle of pixiu, let's see who comes out on top.
