21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
Chen Ningsheng felt extremely wronged. He hadn't done anything wrong; it was Li Xueyan who had come to him, and not because she liked him, but because she wanted his money.
He was also an innocent victim in this matter, so why was Xu Xinchen taking her anger out on him? A faint anger welled up inside him, and he forcibly dragged Xu Xinchen toward the car.
Xu Xinchen also felt wronged. She hadn't done anything wrong, but Li Xueyan had already approached her a couple of days ago, and today she even came to her company specifically to target her.
This also caused resentment among the people in the office. Although no one said it outright, it was obvious from their expressions.
Lin Lina had targeted her so much before, and now that Lin Lina had finally left, another Li Xueyan had come along, and she immediately put her in the spotlight. How could she be happy about that?
“Baby, listen to me, neither of us did anything wrong in this matter.” Chen Ningsheng dragged Xu Xinchen into the car and said this as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xu Xinchen turned her face away, unwilling to look at Chen Ningsheng. She knew that neither of them had done anything wrong. But now Li Xueyan was clearly trying to target her in the company. She didn't want to take her anger out on Chen Ningsheng, but she couldn't control her temper.
Looking at Xu Xinchen's stubborn expression, Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but sigh and said with a helpless look, "Baby, how about this? I'll find a way to help you get rid of her from your company. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Xu Xinchen pursed her lips tightly. To be honest, Chen Ningsheng's suggestion really appealed to her. As long as she could get rid of Li Xueyan, there wouldn't be so much trouble in the future, and the people in the office should no longer be dissatisfied with her.
"Wouldn't this cause you a lot of trouble?" Despite being tempted, Xu Xinchen still maintained some rationality. If Chen Ningsheng really did this and kicked Li Xueyan out of the company, Li Xueyan's father certainly wouldn't let Chen Ningsheng off so easily.
Although their family fortunes have gradually declined, they are still quite powerful. She was also worried that Li Xueyan and her father, unable to harm her, would turn to Chen Ningsheng's father instead.
Chen Ningsheng's father also really wanted to separate the two of them. Although Li Xueyan's family no longer had anything of value, Chen Ningsheng's father might think that something was better than nothing.
Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's worried words, Chen Ningsheng's surging anger suddenly dissipated. He couldn't help but lower his head and press his forehead against Xu Xinchen's.
"Baby, what am I supposed to do with you?" Chen Ningsheng murmured softly. He was so angry just now, but now just one sentence had made all his anger dissipate.
"What? I was just worried about you. Otherwise, I wouldn't care." Xu Xinchen didn't understand what Chen Ningsheng meant and thought he was talking about Li Xueyan. She was instantly furious and her face turned red.
"What do I care about what happens to that father and daughter!" Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but roar, "The only person I care about is you, and you are the only one."
As he spoke, Chen Ningsheng reached out and grabbed Xu Xinchen's fingers, forcibly intertwining them with his: "You don't want to see her?"
"Then I'll help you get rid of her. Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of everything."
Hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Xu Xinchen could no longer stay angry. A sweet feeling, like honey, welled up in her heart. She hadn't often acted coquettishly with others, but if the person was Chen Ningsheng, she thought she could give it a try.
"Ning Sheng..." Xu Xinchen reached out and grabbed Chen Ning Sheng's sleeve, gently shaking it, and said in a sweet tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get angry with you just now, please don't blame me, okay?"
Chen Ningsheng's breath hitched, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze looked extremely dangerous. However, considering the inappropriateness of the situation, he took a few deep breaths to suppress his agitated anger.
Having finally suppressed his anger, Chen Ningsheng said calmly, "It's not that I can't not be angry, but then we'll see what you're going to offer me in order to forgive you."
Xu Xinchen looked at Chen Ningsheng's expression and secretly laughed to herself, but on the surface she pretended to be very helpless: "Ah, so you won't forgive me. Fine, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Chen Ningsheng had been secretly fantasizing about what methods Xu Xinchen would use to get his forgiveness, imagining countless possibilities. Just as he was feeling increasingly pleased with himself, Xu Xinchen suddenly threw a bucket of cold water on him.
In an instant, the small smile on his face froze. He stared at Xu Xinchen with disbelief in his eyes: "You, you, how can you be so insincere!"
Xu Xinchen couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her stomach with one hand and patted Chen Ningsheng's hand with the other, bursting into laughter: "Ningsheng, how can you be so easily fooled?"
Chen Ningsheng finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but glare at Xu Xinchen, though his eyes didn't hold any anger.
Instead of anger, there was a faint smile.
"We'll deal with you when we get home," Chen Ningsheng said, his smile never fading.
Xu Xinchen sat up straight, her fingers involuntarily stroking the back of Chen Ningsheng's hand. She remembered that she was going to meet someone Chen Ningsheng had mentioned today.
"Ning Sheng, who exactly are you taking me to see? Can you at least give me a heads-up? I'm feeling uneasy keeping this from me."
Xu Xinchen spoke softly, using her charm to get Chen Ningsheng to reveal who they were meeting today. Ever since Chen Ningsheng told her yesterday that they were going to meet this person, she had been incredibly curious.
Even at work today, I couldn't help but wonder during my free time who the person I was going to meet was that Chen Ningsheng valued so much, but he was unwilling to say.
Although Chen Ningsheng was quite pleased with Xu Xinchen's coquettish tone, he was still unwilling to reveal any information about that person.
"Don't ask, I won't tell you. If I told you directly, there wouldn't be any surprise at all."
