Xiao Yisheng's beautiful eyes blazed with anger, "Lin Yun, don't go too far!"

Gong Ning waved her hand helplessly, her words a little cheeky, "Look at you, poor kid, you still don't know my name! You can't even get my name right when you're swearing, I can't relate to you at all!"

The sense of immersion is a major factor...

Who needs to relate to someone else's insults?

Xiao Yisheng's eyes widened, her chest heaving with anger. "Aren't you just called Lin Yun?"

The undulating curve is a bit...

Tempting...

Gong Ning was extremely envious, so she cleared her throat and said, "This young lady's surname is Gong, given name is Ning, courtesy name is Lin Yun. Gong Ning, Gong Lin Yun!"

"What is the character?" Xiao Yisheng's eyes were slightly confused.

Gong Ning's dark gaze lingered on her bewildered expression for a few seconds, and a subtle, enigmatic smile curved her lips.

He then jokingly remarked in a low voice, "Isn't Miss Xiao a Stanford graduate?"

Xiao Yisheng: "......."

"So, Miss Gong, you interrupted me on purpose to mock and ridicule me?"

Gong Ning's gaze paused for a moment. "Judging from Miss Xiao's words, there seems to be a hint of regret in her tone, as if she can't apologize to me. You really want to apologize to me?"

Xiao Yisheng: "..."

Why do her words always sound different when they come out of her mouth?

Seeing that she had teased her enough, Gong Ning's bright black eyes lingered on her alluring curves for a few more moments, her gaze becoming somewhat fixed.

He cleared his throat. "After thinking it over, I've decided to just offer a simple apology. That's too easy on you!"

A sense of foreboding washed over Xiao Yisheng. He stared at her warily, his lips pursed slightly with nervousness. "What do you want to do?"

"I heard that Miss Xiao studied acting in college?"

Xiao Yisheng asked in confusion, "Yes, but is it related to this matter?"

Gong Ning's bright eyes instantly crinkled into crescent moons with a gleaming light, revealing a mischievous glint in them. "There are many ways to apologize. I, for one, prefer a more substantial apology, like signing with Bei Yinshi and making me a star to earn money!"

Xiao Yisheng was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed with a look of surprise on his face, "Are you stupid? What does my signing of the contract with Bei Yinshi have to do with you, or my apology?"

Gong Ning didn't say anything, but grabbed Yan Jingzhou's hand and glanced at the time on his wristwatch.

The timing was perfect.

Luo Xi walked in and handed the documents in her hand to Gong Ning, "Miss, everything is ready!"

Gong Ning reached out and took it, casually glancing at it a few times before tossing it to Xiao Yisheng, "Take a look, once you sign it, you're mine!"

Xiao Yisheng suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Yan Jingzhou pursed his lips and gave her a cold look.

Xiao Yiting gave her a gentle smile.

Xiao Yisheng: "......."

The next moment, he frantically opened the document and began to devour it. The more he read, the wider his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, "Such unfair regulations, are you robbing me?"

"Also, Bei Yinshi has nothing to do with you, right? Doing this won't do you any good, will it? I'm telling you, Gong Ning, you..."

Xiao Yisheng's voice suddenly stopped when he turned to the last page, and he blinked in disbelief.

He glanced at the name a few more times, his stiff voice seeming to be forced out of his throat, "Bei Yinshi is yours?"

The smile in Xiao Yiting's eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

"Hmm!" Gong Ning responded lightly, "Your contract is so special that I even used my personal seal, so don't be too happy about it!"

"Then this contract...."

"Isn't this kind of apology particularly satisfying?"

"......."

Xiao Yisheng's tone was tinged with anger, "This... I don't get any benefit at all, I'm just working for you for free?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think apologizing to me is an easy thing to do?"

Xiao Yisheng's tone held a hint of strange excitement, but her words were measured and firm: "I am the governor's sister, and my every move affects the Xiao family!"

"That's your Xiao family's business, it has nothing to do with me!"

Xiao Yisheng's throat went slightly dry, but his eyes held expectation. "I...I'm not very smart, I probably can't make money for you!"

"I know you've been all looks and no brains for a long time now. You just need to be a good money-making tool. Bei Yinshishu isn't as weak as you think!"

Xiao Yisheng: "......."
