Su Mei brought her a cup of coffee that she had prepared in advance, with a fawning smile: "Brother Yao, come on, have some coffee. Be careful not to burn yourself, drink it slowly."

Tang Yaoyao took the coffee, looking at her with some suspicion. When she saw the stars in her eyes, she smiled slightly, a hint of slyness in her eyes: "Why do I feel that you're being particularly attentive today, beauty? Tell me, what are you planning?"

Su Mei chuckled and said, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare to plan anything. I was just thinking that, Brother Yao, you are the sister of three big shots. I wouldn't dare to offend you. I should treat you with the utmost respect."

"Actually, it was quite unexpected, yet it didn't seem so unexpected," Tang Yaoyao said.

"Why?" Su Mei asked, puzzled.

“Brother Ziyi was sent by my brother to protect me for three years. Since he is someone my brother trusts, he must be someone close to him. At first, I only thought he was a friend.”

Su Mei nodded: "What you're saying seems to make sense."

After saying that, Su Mei blinked and said, "But Brother Yao, your three older brothers are all big shots. It's so enviable that I want to cry."

Tang Yaoyao pinched her cheek and rubbed it: "Okay, your drool is about to drip into my coffee cup."

Su Mei: "..."

That spoils the mood.

At this moment, Pei Jin opened the door to the audition room and strode over.

Tang Yaoyao noticed that he was holding a document.

He moved closer and handed her the document: "This is a wound assessment from the hospital."

Tang Yaoyao narrowed her beautiful eyes, too lazy to look: "Just open it and tell me the result."

"Um."

After reading it, Pei Jin said, "The result is consistent with what Mr. Ziyi said: self-harm."

All of this was within Tang Yaoyao's expectations. Although there was no surprise, it was enough to shut up all those who were criticizing her behind her back.

"Okay, come sit down and wait for the results."

“Mm.” Pei Jin nodded again.

Seeing that he had sat down, Su Mei slowly came over and sat down next to him, smiling as she said, "Brother Pei Jin, Mr. Ziyi is the leader of the Six Sects. What do you think is the best way for us to get along in the future?"

He had his head down, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Meiwan fidgeted with her fingers, pondering for a moment: "Hmm... should we still call him Brother Ziyi like before? That would seem too disrespectful, wouldn't it easily anger him?"

“We’ll get along the same way we did before, and we’ll continue to do so in the future,” Pei Jin said.

Su Mei said with some melancholy, "But he is, after all, the leader of the Sixth Gate."

Not only is he a big shot, but he's also Yao Ge's older brother.

Pei Jin believes that this is not a complicated issue at all.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned to look at her and said seriously, "He initially hid his identity simply to do his job well. Currently, he is Brother Yao's bodyguard and only wants to fulfill his duties. It has nothing to do with his identity. The greatest respect you can show him is not to disturb his peace of mind."

Wow……

Pei Jin made eye contact with her.

This feels absolutely amazing.

"Did you understand?" Pei Jin asked again.

Su Mei nodded quickly: "I know, you're a man, so of course you understand what men are thinking. Let's just pretend nothing happened and act like before."

"Um."

Just then, Xu Donglai asked her to get closer to Xu Nuan.

Xu Nuan gave her a friendly, gentle smile.

Tang Yaoyao nodded slightly as a sign of politeness.

Xu Donglai looked at the two of them before announcing the choice for the female lead.

"We held a short meeting and unanimously elected Tang Yaoyao as the female lead in 'Towards the Sun'."

All the staff present immediately clapped and cheered, and the matter was finally brought to a close.

Everyone's eyes were on Xu Nuan's face, wanting to see what she was thinking.

Xu Nuan approached Tang Yaoyao, extended her fair hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Miss Tang, congratulations on getting the lead role."

Tang Yaoyao lowered her head.

Xu Nuan's fingertips were adorned with a beautiful light blue nail polish, making her five fingers look lovely. She gently curved her lips into a smile as sweet as a lotus emerging from water, exuding tenderness.

After a moment, she placed her hand in her palm, clasped it briefly, and gently brushed her fingertips across the back of her hand, her voice low and devoid of any discernible emotion: "Thank you."

Tang Yaoyao didn't immediately remove the fortune teller's hand and started telling fortunes. She had a smooth career in the entertainment industry and had never done anything particularly outrageous. She seemed like a heartless and desireless person, always maintaining a gentle and understanding facade.

Her image is also loved by the entertainment industry, which is why she has made it this far.

It seems that, despite the ups and downs of her early life, she had never fallen in love with anyone.

This happened before, and afterwards...

She gently placed her index finger on the middle of the back of her hand, then lowered her eyes to look at her hand.

Huh?

Her love star has set in motion.

It seems she has fallen for someone.

Unfortunately, she wasn't the matchmaker and couldn't predict which man would win her heart.

She did a closer look and felt that her destiny was fraught with hidden dangers. It seemed that her career would not be smooth sailing, especially this year, when she would face a major calamity.

If they survive the calamity, they will live a carefree and happy life.

If we can't get through...

Heavenly secrets must not be revealed.

After Tang Yaoyao slowly withdrew her hand, she said, "In 'Towards the Sun,' besides the role chosen by Lu Yi, there is another female role that Director Xu said you can still choose."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"good."

Xu Donglai then said, "Now that the roles have been chosen, everyone should take a good look at the script. Once the official announcement is made, we'll start filming."

"good."

The two nodded.

Xu Nuan went to the hospital with her assistant, while Tang Yaoyao remained in the audition room, not planning to leave.

Su Mei asked, "Brother Yao, aren't you going to wait in the lounge for a while?"

"No, when my brother comes back, he won't be able to find me." Tang Yaoyao smiled gently, her dimples looking very sweet and obedient.

Su Mei: "..."

That's too much of a public display of affection; she shouldn't have asked.

...

office.

Zi Yi sat on the sofa, sitting very straight. The usual intimidating look between his brows was gone, and he seemed a little relaxed.

Fu Jincheng habitually sat on the floor, leaning against the coffee table, his expression and posture very languid, tapping the table with his index and middle fingers: "Did Huai'an hurt you?"

Fu Ziyi shook his head: "No."

The voice remained cold, yet at first glance, one could still detect a hint of gentleness.

Fu Jincheng stopped what he was doing, a smile playing on his alluring face, seemingly incredulous: "I just got out of the house and started following Tang Yaoyao's news. I was a little surprised to see you. I looked it up and found out you really are her bodyguard."

"Entrusted by someone."

He knew that his younger brother always spoke like this. It wasn't that he wasn't close to his older brother, but rather that it was a habit due to their profession.

However, it surprised him that he would condescend to be a bodyguard for a little girl, as this was not his usual style.
