Hearing the car drive away downstairs, Bai Yan couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

She probably already knew his identity—Fang Siyan, Ji An'an's other protector in the story besides the four protectors, a mysterious big shot who returned to China to open a bar to repay the debt of gratitude that Ji An'an's mother had saved her once.

They provided Ji An'an with both resources and connections.

"Very good." She chose Ji An'an over Ji An'an.

Bai Yan understood perfectly. To Fang Siyan, Ji An'an and her mother were his saviors, and his inherent sense of justice and gratitude would lead him to help Ji An'an through her difficulties.

But understanding is one thing, and whether she gets angry or not is another.

Bai Yan lowered her eyes slightly: "The bar owner..."

She smiled slightly.

...

Mu Yuanchen has been having a tough time lately.

Bai Yan's "No" completely stuck with him, and the feeling of being wronged by Huang Yao and powerless to clarify things made him furious and impotent.

"Brother Mu, our international endorsements and long-term contracts are constantly slipping away." The agent was extremely troubled. "If we don't clarify this soon, the losses will be enormous."

By now, Mu Yuanchen's personal studio has suffered losses exceeding 100 million yuan. At least he's a movie star; his influence in the entertainment industry has allowed him to persevere without making a sound.

Mu Yuanchen lowered his eyes: "I know what I'm doing."

He still felt it was impossible.

There's no way Bai Yan could dislike him!

She's not an actress; she couldn't portray that kind of look in her eyes.

Maybe he's angry, because he's engaged to An'an, that must be it!

As long as he beckons and denies his engagement to An'an, she will be as obedient as a kitten as before.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuanchen tentatively sent a text message to Bai Yan, "Bai Yan, let's talk."

But as soon as the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared on the page; he had been blocked.

...

Enchanting Bar

This is a high-end bar in the city, frequented by either rich kids or celebrities. Because the owner does a good job of keeping things private, the business is always booming.

Now, a woman wearing a black fitted dress is sitting at the bar's front desk.

She had very fair skin, and her long, black curly hair fell naturally over her shoulders. With her red lips and dark eyes, her eyes, when they moved with a smile, gave her a siren-like appearance under the bar's harsh lights.

"Boss," the bartender whispered, "Miss Bai is here again, she'd like your special."

The bartender knew the owner's identity and that he opened the bar here partly to cover his tracks.

Some people in the industry also know that this is why bars are so private.

No paparazzi dare to come here to take pictures.

Ms. Bai has been a regular customer for the past few days, coming every day and always ordering the most labor-intensive drinks, which the owner always makes for her.

Fang Siyan glanced in that direction, and she looked back at him with a smile.

"Is today okay?"

"Um."

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his powerful forearms. Unlike the elegant movements of other bartenders, his movements were standard, but the muscles in his arms, exposed as he shook the cocktail shakers, were both wild and captivating.

Bai Yan watched with a smile, and after receiving the mixed drink, she blew him a kiss.

Fang Siyan's heart skipped a beat...

But as soon as she turned her gaze away, she stopped looking at him and started talking to other people who were trying to strike up a conversation with her.

He tightened his grip on the bar, and could only stand in front of it pretending to wipe bottles.

He didn't understand what she meant. She always came to this bar and always asked him to order drinks, but she never said anything else to him.

Even though it was their first time meeting, she had asked her out for coffee.

Fang Siyan was extremely anxious, but he dared not make the first move. He knew that these playful, wealthy young men might become...

"Isn't that Movie Emperor Mu?" the bartender suddenly asked.

"They're definitely here to see Miss Bai!"

"Boss, those two are getting a lot of attention lately! Do you know about that incident?"

Fang Siyan's eyes darkened. When she looked up, she saw a man sitting opposite her. From her angle, she could only see the man looking at her with deep affection, while she was propping her face up with her hand, half of her face in shadow, so her expression was not visible.

Mu Yuanchen looked at Bai Yan and said, "Bai Yan, let's talk."

"I don't believe you have no feelings for me at all. For six months, we cared for each other and texted each other every night. Was it all just a lie?"

"Bai Yan, are you angry that I'm engaged to An An?"

"I admit I wavered between the two of you before, but now I understand, the one I love is you. Can you give me another chance?"

Bai Yan's red lips curved slightly, and she was about to speak when the bar changed the music. The DJ shouted into the microphone, "Whoever dances the best today, whoever is the king of dance, that car at the door belongs to them!"

A bright red sports car is always parked at the entrance of the Enchanting Bar; there are only three of them in the world.

The DJ's words instantly ignited the entire venue, and the dance floor erupted in a frenzy, with many people joining in.

"Ahhh!"

"I'll do it!"

They are not short of money, but that car in front of the gate is priceless and unavailable!

Bai Yan slightly raised her gaze and it fell on Fang Siyan, who was hidden in the dim light. She knew that he was the one who was up to something.

The dance floor was too noisy, so she raised her voice: "You know why you came back to me."

"The reason I don't want to be with you is because I've already fallen for someone else."
