After setting up the account, Fang Erlan handed his mobile phone back to him and said, “You may download stickers and emoticons in the chat window. Download whatever you like...”

She then shifted her gaze onto the woman entering the restaurant.

Seeing Fang Erlan, Yu Caiwei and her assistant walked toward her and sat down beside Xiao Chenyang. “What a coincidence.”

“What a coincidence indeed. Ms. Yu, please sit elsewhere,” said Fang Erlan who remained calm and composed.

“At the end of the day, we still belong to the same production unit and we’ll have to star alongside each other in the same scenes rather frequently in the future. What’s wrong with having a meal together? Don’t be so petty. You don’t own this table anyway,” Yu Caiwei quipped, smiling.

Fang Erlan did not answer her, for she was aware that there would be plenty of chances for them to act together in the same scene, since she was playing the female protagonist while Yu Caiwei was playing the supporting role who was a vile character. If she were to fall out with Yu Caiwei openly, she would only end up suffering if Yu Caiwei deliberately pulls a bad take repeatedly during filming.

Seeing that Fang Erlan did not say anything, Yu Caiwei and her assistant took the initiative to sit down, with Fang Erlan sitting beside her.

“Waiter, please give them two bowls of the same kind of noodles.”

“Got it.”

Fang Erlan’s and Xiao Chenyang’s noodles were served as soon as she placed the orders for the two uninvited guests.

“Would you like some vinegar?” he asked.

“Yes.”

She initially wanted to grab the bottle of vinegar to pour herself some. However, he had beat her to it and poured some vinegar into her bowl.

When she tried to scoop herself some chili from the condiments bottle, he again stopped her and said, “Refrain from eating spicy foods. They’re too heaty for you.”

“Just a little bit won’t hurt. Otherwise, it’ll be too bland.”

He did not say anything else. He had never looked at Yu Caiwei ever since the moment she sat down. He and Fang Erlan had begun eating before Yu Caiwei’s food was served. Feeling a little bored, Yu Caiwei decided to strike a conversation with them.

“I heard that you’re getting paid 200 thousand dollars per episode for this television series. They’re paying me 400 thousand dollars.”

In order words, Yu Caiwei simply wanted to say, “So what if you’re the lead actress? I’m the supporting actress and I’m still getting paid more than you are.”

“Yes, I’m a newbie and I’ve only starred in one television series before. Meanwhile, you’ve already acted in so many lousy films. I obviously can’t be compared to you, Ms. Yu.”

Yu Caiwei’s face grew sullen upon hearing Fang Erlan’s snide remark. She looked at Xiao Chenyang, who was sitting beside Fang Erlan. Despite having worked in the entertainment industry for years, she still could not help but be in awe of Xiao Chenyang’s dashing good looks. She thought to herself, It’s a shame that he’s a bodyguard, if he’s a celebrity...

All of a sudden, an idea popped up in Yu Caiwei’s head.

“Fang Erlan, what’s your bodyguard’s name?”

“What are you asking that for?”

“Hmm... just a casual question.”

“Oh, I don’t wish to answer your casual question.”

Yu Caiwei decided to just take out her business card and handed it to Xiao Chenyang. “Hey, hunk, this is my business card. Are you interested in becoming a celebrity? I could give you a little push.”

Fang Erlan almost choked on her noodles the moment she heard her words. “Ms. Yu, do you really think it’s appropriate to say this in front of me?”

“What’s so inappropriate about it? I’m just guiding him onto a path toward earning a great fortune. It’s better than staying by your side.” She then shoved her business card to Xiao Chenyang and said, “There, take it.”

Xiao Chenyang finally turned to face Yu Caiwei. As soon as their eyes met, he shot her a menacing glare that was icy cold and aloof.

“You...”

“Take it away,” he clipped.

Yu Caiwei smiled awkwardly and said, “I can offer you two million dollars in advance and give you a car and an apartment. How does that sound?”

“I want you to take it away. Are you deaf?” he snapped with a look of disdain.

Yu Caiwei put her business card away, feeling a little disgruntled and peeved. “You really don’t know any better,” she remarked in annoyance.

“I beg your pardon?” he said, putting down his chopsticks and glowering at her.

“What’s wrong with you? Aren’t you just a bodyguard? I’m talking to you about business and look at that attitude you’re giving me. Have you any idea how many handsome young lads are dying for a chance to work under me?”

“Psht...”

Fang Erlan would know that Xiao Chenyang was displeased whenever she hears him make that sound.

“What’s up with that attitude of yours... You’re just another handsome face, yet you’re so haughty and ill-tempered. Forget it, since you’re unwilling to work with me, I won’t force you either,” said Yu Caiwei, who found that he was really arrogant.

“Can you scram now, then?”

“You...” Yu Caiwei was at a momentary loss for words. Feeling a little embarrassed, she retorted, “This is not your home anyway. I’ll sit wherever I’d like to. Who are you to intervene?”

In such circumstances, one would usually stand up and walk to another table instead of getting into a conflict with Yu Caiwei. However, Xiao Chenyang would rarely ever compromise, especially not toward people like Yu Caiwei.

He did not answer her and poured his half-finished bowl of noodles onto her head without hesitation.

All the patrons and waiters in the restaurant were dumbfounded.

Yu Caiwei shrieked and stood up, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe. She grabbed a piece of tissue paper from her assistant’s hand and began wiping the noodles and soup off her head and face.

“Are you out of your mind!?!” she hollered in exasperation.

“This is not your home. I’ll pour my noodles wherever I’d like. What right do you have to intervene?” Xiao Chenyang looked at the waiter and instructed, “Serve me another bowl of noodles.”

“Alright.”

“Call the police immediately!” Yu Caiwei barked at her assistant, seething with exasperation.

Remaining calm and composed, Xiao Chenyang said, “You’d better hurry up, then. Don’t wait ’til I’ve finished my noodles. It won’t be good if the police have yet to arrive by then. I’m really curious to find out if your fans will feel ashamed to know that you’re such a disgraceful celebrity.”

Yu Caiwei was on the verge of vomiting blood upon seeing how dauntless he was when making the snide remark.

The assistant shot Yu Caiwei a glance, seemingly trying to tell her not to act rashly. Yu Caiwei grabbed her bag and began walking out of the restaurant. At the sight of them leaving, the waiter immediately yelled, “Ms. Yu...”

She stopped in her tracks and asked angrily, “What’s the matter?”

“We’ve already cooked the noodles that you’ve ordered. You’ll still have to pay up even if you’re not dining in.”

“...”

In the end, she still paid up and left.

“Daddy, just what time are you coming home?” Shi Bao’er asked while sitting on the couch and holding the handset. She continued in a tone of disgruntlement, “If you still refuse to come home, I’m going to go look for Mommy.”

“Alright, I’ll get the butler to send you to your mommy’s place, then. Will that do?”

Seeing that her threat did not work, Shi Bao’er had no choice but to say, “If you don’t come home in half an hour’s time, you’ll never see me again!”

Throughout the few days of her break from the boot camp, she had repeated those words umpteen times. However, Shi Shaochuan was not at all affected and instead completely disregarded her threats. He said nonchalantly, “Okay, okay, okay. Hide yourself well at home. I’ll come back home to look for you tonight.”

Upon hearing his words, Shi Bao’er hung up straight away, for she understood that he would definitely not be coming home within half an hour.

COMMENT

Shi Bao’er could not help but recall the past, the days when she had just reunited with her father. He would take her with him everywhere he went and would bring her out for delicious food and some fun. She used to think that her father really doted on her, but now...

Anger surged through her veins, and she decided that she’s going to make her father regretful!
