“What do you mean? Don’t you believe in my charm?”

She reckoned that Huo Xishen should be in a meeting because she could hear him speaking a few sentences of fluent English. “I do.”

“Huo Xishen, you have to feel a sense of crisis. I’ve conquered even Bai Moliang.”

Huo Xishen didn’t answer and instead, asked, “Darling, what time are you coming home tonight?”

Yan Jinyi was stunned. “Why? What’s the matter?”

“Yes, I have to feel a sense of crisis and serve you well first, Darling.”

“…”

‘Doggy Huo, you hooligan.’

Yan Jinyi hung up resolutely. There was still some time to go until filming began so she planned to go to the bathroom, only to see a bunch of girls crowding in the corridor.

“Since you’ve offended Mr. Bai, you’d better withdraw from the contest quickly, lest you drag everyone else down with you.”

“That’s right, do you still expect yourself to debut?”

“Tao Liu,I hope you can understand everyone’s concerns. You’ve seen Mr. Bai’s attitude towards the director just now. What if you cause the entire program to be cancelled? This is my last attempt at a survival show!”

‘Ah, they’re bullying her.’

She twisted her neck and took a few small steps forward. Seemingly sensing that someone was walking over, the few girls left flusteredly. When they saw that it was Yan Jinyi, they quickly bowed and greeted her.

“Hello, Sister Jinyi.”

“Sister Jinyi, are you going to the bathroom? This way, please.”

Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tao Liu who was leaning against the wall.

The young girl seemed rather petite and her dress made others feel the urge to protect her.

“You’ve offended Bai Moliang.”

She said with an affirmative tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her began clamoring, “Sister Jinyi, get her to quit the competition quickly. Withdrawing out of her own accord is better than being chased away by the director.”

“Exactly. Sister Jinyi, you don’t want our dreams to be hampered by her, do you? She’s very scheming and she wants to seduce Mr. Bai.”

Yan Jinyi grinned but her expression stiffened immediately. “Your dreams have nothing to do with me. I’m protecting Yan Jinyi. Whoever dares to make her leave the competition through unfair means will be going against me.”

After saying that, she patted Tao Liu on the back and left.

She didn’t know if Tao Liu was scheming or not but she was disgusted by the gossipmongers.

Yan Jinyi would never know that her words had changed the fate of a girl.

The shooting went on until late at night. Yan Jinyi initially planned to stay over at Shen Yan’s place tonight because of what Huo Xishen said.

In the end, she saw an extremely familiar-looking black car as soon as she reached the parking lot.

She sighed and strode over. At this moment, the car window happened to be rolled down. Huo Xishen was seated right inside the car.

He was holding a proposal in hand, with his blazer chucked beside him and two of the buttons of his shirt undone. He looked rather languid yet charming.

“What are you doing here?”

After taking away his blazer, he opened the door for Yan Jinyi. “To pick you up, Darling.”

Assistant Wen was driving. Seeing that Yan Jinyi had gotten inside the car, he immediately began to put in a good word for Huo Xishen. “Second Young Mistress Huo, Mr. Huo cancelled the international video conference after hearing your message. Now, all the female employees of the company are green with envy.”

Yan Jinyi remained unmoved and she even said proudly, “Doesn’t he often cancel conferences for my sake?”

“…”

‘Second Young Mistress Huo, don’t keep making others misunderstand you and take you for a havoc-wreaking vixen!’

‘Otherwise, Mr. Huo will become a foolish leader.’

“Assistant Wen wants to be in a relationship. Darling, please be more understanding.”

Although Assistant Wen didn’t give any verbal explanation, deep down, he was screaming, “I want to stop being a singleton!”
