Chapter 666: Bai Yueguang’s Bad Ending (16)
"Did Qin Yan call?" Du Peiyao asked her agent beside her while squinting her eyes and letting the makeup artist put on makeup for her.
Agent Liu shook her head: "No."
Du Peiyao was suddenly filled with anger, feeling extremely frustrated. Could it be that Qin Yan had lost patience with her again so quickly? She had just left him alone for a little longer this time, but he gave up so quickly?
This made Du Peiyao feel very ashamed and angry. She reflected on whether she had gone too far in playing hard to get with Qin Yan during this period. But after thinking about it, she didn't think she had any problem!
Could it be that Bai Yueguang has seduced her away again? Du Peiyao recalled the radiant Bai Yueguang she saw at the airport, who was much prettier than herself, and her face was distorted with anger.
"Teacher Du, please don't move, okay?" the makeup artist requested weakly.
Du Peiyao froze and quickly adjusted her facial expression.
After she knew that she was someone else's substitute, she was arrogant and wanted to break up with Qin Yan. She didn't want to endure such an insult and lose her dignity.
She did move out of Qin Yan's villa without saying a word, never contacted Qin Yan again, and vowed not to let him trample on her self-esteem again.
But reality is cruel, and the entertainment industry is even crueler. Without Qin Yan's protection, she couldn't keep her own resources. Endorsement and crew resources were quickly snatched away by others. Even the dress she needed to borrow for the red carpet was not lent to her by any sponsor...
After leaving Qin Yan, she realized that it was difficult to rely on her own efforts in the entertainment industry. Every step was difficult because she had no backing, and she was not as willing as others to take risks.
Only two or three months had passed, and she had gone from being a female star who never worried about resources to an unemployed person who was bored at home. However, she hired her own assistant and driver, and their expenses were paid by Qin Yan before, but now she had to pay for them herself. When she saw that the balance in her card was getting less and less, she could no longer maintain her "self-esteem" and almost wanted to bow her head and find Qin Yan again.
But she was lucky after all. Just when she wanted to throw away her self-esteem and beg Qin Yan, Qin Yan called her first. No one knew how ecstatic she was when she received Qin Yan's call, especially when Qin Yan said that he would forgive her for the past and as long as she continued to return to him, she could continue to have all the resources and money.
Du Peiyao, who could no longer be arrogant, reluctantly returned to Qin Yan. Her previous ideas of being strong and independent had long been destroyed by the cruel reality. She quickly changed her mind and felt that her previous ideas were too stupid. What's wrong with being a substitute? As long as she could hold on to her heart and stop falling in love with Qin Yan, and just treat him as a boss who needed to be served, it would be fine - he could only get her body, but never her heart!
Why did Qin Yan go back to Bai Shichu again? Of course, it was because he couldn't get what he wanted from Bai Shichu, so he naturally thought of a substitute.
He was angry that Du Peiyao was disobedient and wanted to leave him, so he took away her resources and taught her a big lesson. Then he called her back. Sure enough, Du Peiyao found that the outside world was very cruel, so she came back obediently.
In fact, in the original owner's previous life, Qin Yan also used this method to force Du Peiyao to come back, but at that time the original owner was entangled with him, and Du Peiyao felt suffocated in her heart, and refused to give in no matter how difficult it was. Instead, Qin Yan felt that she had better character and he cared more about her.
Unfortunately, in this life, Bai Shichu wished that he had nothing to do with Qin Yan and stayed away from him. Although Du Peiyao still felt jealous, she did not feel embarrassed. After all, Qin Yan still could not get Bai Yueguang, so wouldn't she, as a substitute, still be useful?
After putting on her makeup, Du Peiyao reached out to her agent and said, "Give me your phone."
"Are you going to call Mr. Qin again?" Sister Wang asked as she handed her the phone. "Mr. Qin should be at work now. You'd better not disturb him. Why don't you call him in the evening?"
Although she said so, she did not stop Du Peiyao resolutely, because she also wanted to know how much Qin Yan felt for Du Peiyao. Only after knowing that could she make plans for Du Peiyao, right?
Du Peiyao ignored her agent's words and went into the bathroom with her phone. She called Qin Yan, but the call was quickly hung up. She continued to call, but was hung up again.
After making several calls, the call was finally connected. Qin Yan said impatiently: "You'd better have something serious to say!"
Du Peiyao was startled when she heard his angry voice, and quickly said softly: "Qin Yan, I just missed you. You haven't called me for so long, I'm a little worried about you..."
"What is there to worry about? Even if something really happens to me, can you help me?" Qin Yan sneered.
Du Peiyao froze for a moment, her face twisted for a moment, but she knew that Qin Yan was her financial backer, and she had to please him to have resources, so she said: "Ayan, I know I can't help you with anything, but I am worried about you. You haven't heard from me for so long, and I can't see you, so I'm worried about you..."
"Tsk! What are you thinking about? Are you wondering whether I will continue to give you resources?" Qin Yan said sarcastically. If it were usual, he would not ridicule Du Peiyao like this. After all, Du Peiyao was quite to his liking, and he didn't mind being nicer to her. But now he was beaten up, with a bruised face, feeling embarrassed and in unbearable pain. What's more, he didn't even find out who beat him up, so it would be strange for him to be in a good mood.
But at this time, Du Peiyao kept calling him to disturb him, without any tact, which just hit Qin Yan's heart.
"Ayan, how could you think of me like this?" Du Peiyao seemed to be hit hard, but she had to act understanding and said, "Forget it, Ayan, I know you are in a bad mood now, and it is normal for you to be angry at me. I am willing to let you vent your anger. Ayan, please continue now, I can bear it..."
Ever since Du Peiyao realized that she couldn't be independent in the entertainment industry, she has been trying to be the considerate little white flower in front of Qin Yan, vowing to replace the white moonlight in Qin Yan's heart.
When Qin Yan heard Du Peiyao say this, he felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart. He wondered if he was too harsh on her. She was so considerate and gentle, and she was not even angry when he took his anger out on her. She was gentle and generous.
So he cleared his throat and said shamelessly: "Am I the kind of person who takes out his anger on others? Forget it, you are innocent, why should I be angry with you?"
Du Peiyao was immediately certain in her heart, knowing that Qin Yan was buying into her tricks, so she calmed down and continued to speak softly, "Ayan, you are so good to me. As long as I am with you, I will not care about your emotional impulses. After all, I like you."
Qin Yan chatted with Jie Yuhua for a long time, and his mood finally improved. Even the frustration of being beaten disappeared, so he generously gave Du Peiyao an advertising endorsement.
