Yan Xi was spouting words non-stop. Gu Shen looked away, not knowing when she became so chatty.

  What puzzled Gu Shen the most was that he seemed to go soft-hearted.

  He no longer knew how to reject her.

  The only thing he was certain of was that he was willing to do it.

  He sighed, his expression softening. “Well…” Yan Xi sensed that his tone had softened, so she immediately said, “Then let’s make a bet.” The corners of her mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. “Let’s bet on whether Gu An can become popular in one year. If I lose, I’ll promise you one thing. If you lose, you have to promise me one thing.”


  Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a faint smile. “Are you sure?”


  “Of course!” Yan Xi was certain that she would win. “The bet between us is fair and open. No one can go back on it.”


  She reached out her pinky and gently hooked Gu Shen’s fingers.

  “Whoever goes back on their words will become a pig.” With that, she smiled. Her almond eyes curved and were as bright as the stars in the sky.

  At the end of the day, Yan Xi was just a girl.

  Gu Shen smiled and asked, “Does it still hurt?”


  He felt that he did not use much strength, but he was strong, so it was inevitable that he would hurt people accidentally. However, Yan Xi was being really naughty just now. When he thought about that, he felt she deserved it.

  “It doesn’t hurt now. You just applied the ointment.”


  Gu Shen was silent. He sighed and gently pinched Yan Xi’s cheek.

  “It’s getting late. Hurry up and sleep. Remember to call me if you’re feeling unwell tonight.” “I know.” Yan Xi frowned and made a face at him. “Next time, you can’t pinch my face

  again.”


  In the middle of the night, Gu An received a call from the brand again.

  She picked it up in fear and finally received good news.

  The other party said that the canceling of the collaboration was just a mistake and that it was not true. In order to express their apology to Gu An, they even took the initiative to extend the contract with Gu An.

  Gu An replied calmly, “It’s alright. It’s good that the misunderstanding is resolved. Thank you for calling me.”


  After hanging up the phone, she sprung up from the bed and bounced around excitedly.

  It was probably Fourth Brother who called the brand and made them change their mind.

  Xixi was really her little angel. Even a difficult person like Fourth Brother was persuaded by her.

  Gu An was so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She wanted to call Yan Xi but thought better of it when she remembered what time it was.

  The next morning, Yan Xi just opened her eyes when Gu An called.

  “Gu An, what’s wrong?” she asked, rubbing her eyes.

  “Xixi, you’re really something!” The voice on the other end of the line was abnormally excited. “You can actually persuade Fourth Brother. Not only did I not lose my job, but they even extended the contract.”


  “Congratulations,” Yan Xi said lazily as she sat

  up.

  “All of this is because of you. If I have the time, I’ll definitely treat you to a meal!”


  “Okay.” Yan Xi did not turn down her kind offer…… “I’ll remember that.”


  “Ten meals won’t be a problem.”


  Yan Xi smiled and continued, “Actually, Gu Shen is doing it for your own good when he asks you to leave the industry. This time they failed to hurt you, but we don’t know what’ll happen next time. With you by his side, it’ll be easier for him to protect you.”


  “I knew it.” Gu An was touched. “Fourth Brother is still so good to me. He used to support me very much, and now he’s still supporting me.”


  “The entertainment industry is too messy. You have to remember to protect yourself.”


  “I will. Actually, I already know who started it. I won’t let her off easily.”


  Did the silly female lead know that Xia Qing was the one who set her up and wanted her dead?

  The answer was soon revealed. Gu An said indignantly, “Xia Qing did all of this. You’re right. There are no good people in the entertainment industry. They’re all just using

  me!”


  “Then what do you plan to do?” “I plan to press a charge against her for attempted murder. The evidence is conclusive and it’s enough to put her in jail for a few years.” With that, she added, “It was Fourth Brother who taught me to do this. I plan to find a few people in the prison to get rid of her. She has to experience what I’ve experienced.”
