Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She wanted to figure out what was going on. Although she wasn’t welcomed, Wu Shu still shamelessly requested to stay for dinner.

The atmosphere of the meal was somewhat unusual.

The little guy kept calling Chi Yaoxi mommy and told her interesting stories about kindergarten while eating. Chi Yaoxi listened patiently and took care of the little guy from time to time with a warm maternal love on her face.

Under the little fellow’s gaze and actions, Li Qian took the initiative to help Chi Yaoxi pick up a few dishes.

It looked like this family was happy and harmonious. Even Li Qianming’s ice-cold face, which had never changed in years, had some warmth. Only Wu Shu was left alone.

Other than feeling awkward, Wu Shu only felt a chill in her heart. Initially, she thought that staying for a meal would cause more trouble for that woman. She never expected that this tactic would be ineffective and that the other party did not take her seriously at all.

Looking at the woman sitting proudly next to Li Qianming, Wu Shu felt an indescribable sense of defeat, which made her even angrier. She really wanted to slap this pretentious b*tch and kick her out!

However, on the surface, Wu Shu didn’t show the slightest bit of resentment on her face. In front of Li Qianming, she was still full of smiles and would occasionally interject with a few gentle words.

During the entire dinner, Wu Shu didn’t gain any advantage at all. She also didn’t manage to obtain any useful information. She simply ate like she was chewing wax. Wu Shu was unwilling to accept this. Her dark and ruthless gaze occasionally glanced at Chi Yaoxi.

She couldn’t possibly come here for nothing. She didn’t want to go back empty-handed. After dinner, Wu Shu directly requested to stay over because she was too tired.

As time went by, she would always discover some problems. If she stayed here at night, there might even be some special stories.

Wu Shu glanced at the cool and handsome Li Qianming and secretly revealed a cunning smile.

Chi Yaoxi was a little surprised and thought that this woman was too thick-skinned.

She carefully observed Li Qianming’s expression. After hearing that Wu Shu wanted to stay for the night, he immediately furrowed his brow. His previously calm face instantly darkened.

Chi Yaoxi understood the man’s meaning. She immediately stood up and smiled generously, not losing any etiquette as she asked Wu Shu to leave. “I’m sorry. Our family doesn’t allow outsiders to stay overnight. If you really need it, we can help you book a hotel or call a car.”

Wu Shu glared at Chi Yaoxi with dissatisfaction. After she saw Li Qianming’s dark face and not saying a word, she could only slip away from the villa.

Along the way, Wu Shu was furious.?This b*tch beside Li Qianming really knows how to put on an act. I want to see what kind of background she has to dare to snatch my man! Hmph! I’ll make her suffer sooner or later!

Wu Shu soon found out that this woman called Chi Yaoxi was actually an A-list actress in the country and that she was quite famous. This made her very upset.

These female celebrities only knew how to hook up with powerful men and rely on them to climb up the ranks. Li Qianming was actually still hot-headed enough to marry this woman!

Wu Shu thought about it carefully and decided not to act rashly. The two of them were married in secret and the media didn’t know about it, not even their families. If she caused a ruckus, wouldn’t that be helping them promote their relationship? It might even backfire, and with more people paying attention, it would be difficult to get a divorce.

She decided to wait and see first and secretly find an opportunity to deal with this woman called Chi Yaoxi.

After all, she was the future daughter-in-law chosen by Madam Li. The position of Li Qianming’s wife could only be hers!

“Yaoxi, I have a jewelry endorsement for you. Do you have time to take it?”

Hearing Xiao Ye’s laughing voice from the other end of the phone, Chi Yaoxi couldn’t help but smile. “If you want my help, just say it. Don’t pretend to be polite.”

“But just to let you know, I won’t be your model for free. At most, I’ll give you a 50% discount.”

The man on the other end of the phone decisively agreed to this request and even made an affiliated invitation. “Yaoxi, since you’re the spokesperson of my newly invested jewelry company, then accompany me to a business banquet.”

“Business banquet?” Chi Yaoxi subconsciously wanted to refuse. To be honest, she really did not like those kinds of occasions where she had to put on a show.

“Yes, a business banquet. This is the first business banquet I’ve attended since I returned to the country. If you don’t accompany me, I’ll get stage fright.”

Chi Yaoxi hesitated for a moment when she heard the man’s coquettish voice. She could only agree. Who asked her to be loyal! After all, they were in the same trench back then, helping each other chase after the person they liked, eating barbecue and drinking together.

Although Chi Yaoxi did not like such occasions, since she had decided to go, she would not let herself lose to the other female celebrities who would be there.

Especially when Sister Ming knew that Chi Yaoxi had thought things through and decided to participate in such an event, she directly borrowed gowns from several luxury brands for Chi Yaoxi to choose from.

After all, apart from Chi Yaoxi, who was currently a popular female star, there were also many first-tier actresses and new female stars.

By that day, there would definitely be a lot of publicity. If they lost the battle, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Chi Yaoxi did not care much about this. She randomly picked a long dress with a slit that slightly accentuated her body lines. Whether it was the makeup or accessories, it was up to Sister Ming and the stylist to choose.

By the time she was done with her makeup, Chi Yaoxi had already slept and woke up. She yawned and picked up her handbag to get up.

The door to the dressing room opened, and her assistant smiled like a love-struck fool. “Yaoxi, who’s waiting outside the company? Is it your boyfriend? He’s so handsome!”

Eh??Chi Yaoxi was stunned.?Boyfriend? Where did she get a boyfriend from? She had a legal husband.

However, based on Li Qianming’s personality, he probably wouldn’t run over in public with a peacock tail and let other women swoon over him. There was only one person who loved to show off—Xiao Ye.

Tsk. With this man around, she would definitely make the headlines tonight.

Sister Ming sighed.?She could no longer control Chi Yaoxi. Whatever.

The news of Chi Yaoxi and the CEO of the newly endorsed jewelry company going to the banquet spread. The popularity was probably going to increase again. However, this was good as well. It could increase the popularity and exposure of the upcoming Best Actress Award.

Chi Yaoxi slowly carried her dress downstairs.

As soon as she stepped out of the company lobby, apart from the reporters who were crowding around, she saw a familiar figure not far away.

“Yaoxi!” Xiao Ye waved at Chi Yaoxi without any hesitation.

Because of his shout, the reporters’ cameras were aimed at him. However, Xiao Ye did not show any signs of stage fright. Instead, he smiled brightly at the camera.

When Chi Yaoxi saw him chatting and taking photos with the reporters like a fish in water, she could only sigh that it was a pity that this man did not enter the entertainment circle.
