The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the surrounding air seemed to heat up.
Under the dazzling lights, the actress's charming face radiated an unusual glow.
Ye Chen was covered in sweat. Wen Wen moved closer to him, and he dodged away a little more, until his whole body was almost leaning out and there was no way to avoid her.
“Ms. Wen…” Ye Chen said with a wry smile, “Please calm down, please calm down…”
Wenwen stared at him for a while, then suddenly pulled back and sat up straight. She casually took a sip of her drink and complained, "So boring!"
Ye Chen opened his eyes wide.
"What are you so nervous about? Do you think I'm going to eat you?" Wenwen scoffed lightly.
She wore a cheongsam today, with a dark red background and large embroidered gold peonies, making her dazzling.
One button on the collar of her cheongsam was undone, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck and a hint of her collarbone.
She is charming and alluring.
Wenwen found his dazed look amusing. "That was an audition scene for another new movie of mine. How did it go? Did you pass?"
"Uh..." Ye Chen was speechless.
"I'm not kidding you! Look, I haven't even changed out of my costume yet! I have to go try out for the second scene later."
"Oh," Ye Chen nodded hesitantly, "Well then, I wish you good luck with your audition."
She smiled gently and charmingly.
She understood that this fool still had feelings for Tang Yilan.
However, he was deceived by Cheng Xuerou for too long.
It's surprising that even a wise lawyer can be completely fooled.
Therefore, you can't touch emotions; touching them is fatal.
Wenwen shrugged. Although she had feelings for Ye Chen, she still thought her career was more appealing.
Moreover, her criteria for choosing a partner, besides being rich and good-looking, also require that the person have an empty heart.
No matter how many exes you have, you'd better clear them all out before I move in!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be foolish enough to start this relationship, as it would waste her time making money!
"Alright, you can enjoy your drink here all by yourself!" Wenwen waved her hand. "I have to get back to work. I can't let this year's Best Actress award go to someone else!"
Ye Chen smiled politely and nodded slightly.
However, as soon as Wenwen finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes stared straight at a certain spot.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chen looked in the direction she was looking.
That person looked so furtive, was he a reporter?
Ye Chen doesn't usually deal with tabloid reporters, but his law firm has handled many cases involving celebrities and journalists. He stood up and stepped forward, looking at Wen Wen in a low voice, "If it's a reporter, I can handle it."
"Hey, no need!" Wenwen quickly pulled him back. "I don't think he looks like a reporter."
"Um?"
"Like the Huo family's youngest daughter!"
Ye Chen was taken aback. When he looked over again, the figure had already moved to the back door of the bar and disappeared from their sight.
Is that Huo Zhixin? But why is she here? Shouldn't she be at school at this time?
"Hey..." Wenwen chuckled, "Could it be that you skipped school to hang out with your boyfriend?"
Ye Chen's brow furrowed.
The Huo family had strict discipline, and Huo Zhixin was honest and obedient from a young age. She wouldn't dare skip school even if she had a hundred times the courage.
But……
Ye Chen was worried, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Wen Wen and followed her.
He went to the street behind the bar, where there were few people. It was next to a simple alley, and a flock of white doves flew across the sky, the setting sun stretching his shadow long.
He looked left and right but couldn't find Huo Zhixin. He felt increasingly uneasy and was about to call Huo Zhixing when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind!
"Zhixin?" Ye Chen turned around abruptly, meeting Huo Zhixin's bright, watery eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Huo Zhixin pouted. "Have you been following me? How did you get here?"
"I..." Ye Chen licked his lips and gave an awkward smile.
"This is a bar, not a place for a girl like you. I saw something that looked like you, so I followed you... If anything happens to you, wouldn't your brother turn the whole city upside down?"
"I'm an adult, okay..." Huo Zhixin muttered softly, "Besides, I'm under a lot of academic pressure, can't I relax a bit? Who says bars can't be open to students..."
"Okay, okay," Ye Chen said helplessly, "Then don't stay out too late, go home early."
"I know, I'm about to head back!" Huo Zhixin waved to him and skipped towards the main road outside the alley.
Ye Chen watched her retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly.
For some reason, I felt that the way she spoke just now was different from usual. Although she tried her best to act as playful and cute as usual, but...
In short, that's where things are different.
He hoped he was overthinking things, and after a moment's thought, he decided to tell Shen Xiao first. After all, Dr. Shen was now everyone's ideal boyfriend!
So he went to the parking lot, called a designated driver, and also sent a message to Shen Xiao.
On another street not far from the bar, Huo Zhixin clutched her backpack tightly to her chest, her shoulders trembling involuntarily as she looked at the person in front of her.
"I've done everything you asked me to do. Now can you hand over those things to me?"
"You've done it all?" The man smirked.
The setting sun couldn't redden the man's pale face; his thin figure looked almost sickly.
Only the eyes beneath the baseball cap flashed with a sinister and ruthless light.
Huo Zhixin replied in a panic, "I...I did it all, really, I did everything you said..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man snatched her schoolbag. She screamed and tried to grab it back, but she was no match for his strength.
