Later, rumors circulated in the industry that Xi Junyan was keeping a man as a mistress, which largely confirmed the speculation about the female supporting character.
She felt conflicted; one was the man she had once desperately wanted, and the other was the man she had instantly fallen for.
The two men I like are getting mixed up...
There's no use in overthinking it. Given Xi Junyan's abnormal possessiveness, she should be grateful that he's not holding a grudge against her for messing with the Xi family, out of consideration for Yi Mu.
Most of the people present today had heard that the person from the Xi family was coming and had been looking forward to it since early morning; they were finally able to see him.
Those who were eager to curry favor and those with ulterior motives all swarmed around, clinking glasses and enthusiastically trying to make their presence known to the big shot.
The scents of the man's and woman's perfumes mingled together, creating a pungent odor that caused Yi Mu's expression to change slightly.
He quietly withdrew from Xi Junyan's side and went to an open space for some fresh air.
The female supporting character seized her opportunity and approached her.
"I thought he was going to lock you up for life. How are you feeling? Are you feeling much better?"
The female supporting character struck up a conversation with Yi Mu in a familiar tone. Yi Mu glanced at her and noticed that her face seemed even more refined after not seeing her for a long time, with her nose and eyes being more delicate.
He raised an eyebrow: "You had plastic surgery?"
His voice wasn't quiet, and the female supporting character playfully slapped him, saying, "Are you trying to kill me? Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Then he touched his face: "Do I look much better than before?"
Yi Mu shook his head honestly: "It looked better before."
Just as the female supporting character was about to laugh at his inability to sweet-talk girls, Xi Junyan's deep, mellow voice rang out from behind him: "What are you doing?"
The female supporting character stiffened for a moment, then adjusted her expression, turned around, and smiled charmingly at him: "Mr. Xi, really, Yi Mu was only gone for a short while, and you're already so nervous."
Xi Junyan glanced at her, his smile extremely stingy, and displeasure showing on his handsome face: "Do you remember what I told you?"
The female supporting character forced a smile, cursing inwardly, "I've never seen you this nervous when you were with Bai Lian before. You're such a born gay man!"
"Why are you being so mean, senior? It's my birthday today, and I didn't even receive a gift from you."
Xi Junyan tilted his head back slightly, and his assistant immediately smiled and presented the gift box.
The female supporting character glanced at it; it was a limited edition from a luxury brand, not yet available in China.
The female partner winked at Yi Mu: "Have fun tonight, don't be shy with me, I have other guests to entertain, I'll be leaving now."
Yi Mu observed the interaction between Xi Junyan and the female supporting character. After the female supporting character left, he asked in a low voice, "Xi Junyan, what exactly do you take me for?"
A kept male lover?
Even if he were to be reduced to begging one day, let alone still be able to earn money now, he would never sell his body so easily.
Xi Junyan might not have known how he regarded Yi Mu before, but after Yi Mu woke up from a year-long coma, Xi Junyan already had the answer in his heart.
However, he was not going to tell Yi Mu now that he was also a proud person and a businessman who never suffered a loss.
In matters of the heart, both parties must be mutually attracted to each other for it to be fair and just.
Yi Mu showed no signs of being interested in him at the moment, so Xi Junyan was only just beginning to cast his net. He had to wait for the right moment to pull it in and reap the rewards.
Just as Xi Junyan was about to say something to tease Yi Mu, a commotion suddenly broke out at the door.
Xi Junyan and Yi Mu looked up together.
At the end of the red carpet, a beautiful woman in a white dress walked gracefully towards us; her face was both familiar and unfamiliar.
In just one year, the once somewhat rustic white silk has been completely transformed, turning from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan.
She linked arms with a handsome man and walked up to the female supporting character amidst the stunned gasps of the young talents in the audience.
