After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the heavy curtains of the hotel suite, casting a slanted glow onto the large bed.

Jiang Yichen frowned.

The hangover made him feel like his head was about to split open.

He groaned and struggled to open his eyes.

The first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling and a magnificent crystal chandelier.

A faint scent of perfume filled the air.

This tastes familiar; it's the one Gu Ruanxing often uses.

Jiang Yichen suddenly sat up.

The blanket slid down his strong chest.

He looked down and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He wasn't wearing any clothes; he was completely naked.

Jiang Yichen's brain went blank for a moment.

What exactly happened last night?

He only remembered that he was shielding Gu Ruanxing from drinking in the private room... and then what?

Jiang Yichen rubbed his temples hard, trying to piece together fragments of his memory from last night.

Just then.

With a "click," the suite door was pushed open from the outside.

Gu Ruanxing, dressed casually and carrying several bags, strode in.

The two locked eyes.

Gu Ruanxing's gaze fell on Jiang Yichen's bare shoulders and chest, and she was stunned for half a second.

A playful smile immediately appeared on his lips, and his mischievous side was instantly ignited.

She casually tossed the breakfast she was holding onto the glass round table next to her, slipped on her slippers, and slowly walked to the bedside.

Looking down at Jiang Yichen.

"you……"

Jiang Yichen opened his mouth, his throat was terribly dry.

Where are my clothes?

Gu Ruanxing crossed her arms and raised her beautiful eyebrows.

What do you think?

Her tone was extremely flippant, with a hint of deliberate ambiguity.

"After all that commotion last night, your clothes are probably too worn out."

Jiang Yichen was taken aback.

It's been a lot of trouble?

He looked at Gu Ruanxing in disbelief.

Gu Ruanxing suppressed a laugh, turned around and took out a wad of bright red banknotes from the handbag next to her.

It's at least several thousand yuan.

She turned around, flicked her wrist, and slammed it directly onto Jiang Yichen's blanket.

"You did well last night."

Gu Ruanxing raised her chin, exuding a domineering CEO vibe.

"Here's a tip for you. Use it to buy some new clothes."

Jiang Yichen's face turned completely dark as he looked at the banknotes on the blanket.

Jiang Yichen, who had lived two lives, was actually treated like a gigolo by a woman?

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Gu Ruanxing, stop fooling around. What exactly happened last night?"

He was trying to find a flaw.

But as he moved slightly, his gaze inadvertently swept across the other side of the bed.

A striking crimson stain was clearly visible on the pristine white sheets.

Jiang Yichen's breath caught in his throat.

The splash of red stood out starkly against the white sheets.

He suddenly looked up at Gu Ruanxing.

Gu Ruanxing rolled her eyes impatiently.

"What are you looking at!"

"We're all adults, it's just a charade."

"You're not going to be a sore loser, are you?"

Jiang Yichen was completely stunned and rubbed his face hard.

He cursed inwardly, thinking that drinking was a real mistake and that the original owner of this body really couldn't handle alcohol!

Jiang Yichen took a deep breath and looked at Gu Ruanxing with utmost seriousness.

"I will take responsibility."

Gu Ruanxing was about to make a few more jokes when she heard this and almost burst out laughing.

responsible?

This guy actually took it seriously!

Seeing Jiang Yichen's expression of being on high alert, Gu Ruanxing was overjoyed.

But on the surface, she maintained her aloof and arrogant persona, letting out a cold snort.

"Responsible?"

"Jiang Yichen, stop patting yourself on the back."

"Do I need you to take responsibility?"

Gu Ruanxing walked to the round table, picked up a glass of iced Americano, bit the straw, and took a sip.

"You're not trying to use this to frame me, are you?"

After saying that, she ignored Jiang Yichen, who was still in shock, grabbed her handbag, and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Breakfast is on the table, please eat by yourself."

"I have some business to attend to in Shanghai, so I have to go back."

"Bang!"

The suite door was slammed shut.

The room returned to silence.

Jiang Yichen sat on the bed, looking at the stack of banknotes and then at the red stain on the bed sheet, his headache getting even worse.

What kind of mess is this?!

........

Outside the suite.

The corridor was covered with thick carpets.

Gu Ruanxing quickly walked a distance away, and after confirming that Jiang Yichen could not hear her, she finally could not hold back any longer.

"Pfft, hahaha..."

Gu Ruanxing leaned against the wall in the corridor, laughing so hard she was almost in tears.

She clutched her stomach, her shoulders twitching.

"And he's in charge... hahaha..."

Gu Ruanxing laughed as she recalled the events of last night.

Jiang Yichen slept like a log for the first half of the night, completely still.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly rose from the dead and got up.

I rushed into the bathroom and vomited violently into the toilet.

The noise was so loud it felt like they were going to rip your stomach out.

It's not over after you've vomited.

He couldn't even walk straight and fell directly onto the carpet.

His clothes and body were covered in filth.

The entire room was filled with an unpleasant odor.

Gu Ruanxing had no choice but to call the hotel's room service.

As for that red stain on the bed sheet...

She had been up all night and was starving, so she ordered KFC delivery.

While sitting on the edge of the bed eating fries, I accidentally squeezed out a packet of ketchup.

It dripped right onto the white bed sheet.

Who would have thought.

This morning's unexpected turn of events led to such a huge misunderstanding for Jiang Yichen.

Gu Ruanxing finished laughing, straightened up, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Serves you right for always acting all high and mighty! Now you're caught off guard!"

Gu Ruanxing raised her chin and walked toward the elevator in a great mood.

As for the truth?

She wasn't planning to tell Jiang Yichen so soon.

Let this guy feel guilty for now!

Who told him to almost suffocate me last night!

............

Gu Ruanxing returned to Shanghai.

After a morning of confusion, Jiang Yichen finally decided to stop thinking about it for now.

Qilin Entertainment Studio in Beijing's CBD.

Su Yao's work efficiency is ridiculously high.

In just a few days.

She not only completed all the company's registration procedures.

They also used a headhunting firm to poach two highly experienced arrangers and a top-notch mixing engineer.

All recording equipment has been purchased.

Jiang Yichen slammed the sheet music for several traditional Chinese songs, such as "Dong Feng Po" and "Qing Hua Ci," onto the table.

Those few arrogant musicians were immediately awestruck after reading the score.

Her attitude towards Jiang Yichen instantly changed from perfunctory to admiring.

The production of the new album was immediately put on the agenda.

Jiang Yichen spends every day in the recording studio, meticulously studying every note and orchestration detail.

That afternoon.

Jiang Yichen had just come out of the recording studio, holding a cup of black coffee in his hand.

The office's glass door was pushed open from the outside.

Chen Hao rushed in excitedly.

"Brother Jiang!"
