Si Jin woke up in a dilapidated rented room.
A handsome man in a suit and tie stood in front of me.
The man glared at him coldly and turned on the TV with a menacing look.
The old television beside me emitted a faint light, beginning to broadcast the local entertainment news in the morning—
"It is reported that the scandal involving well-known voice actress Li Sijin sleeping with fans continues to escalate, and the court's second instance ruling is still unsatisfactory."
“Li Sijin refused to admit it in court, and even implicated Wen Yuexi, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner in the Chinese entertainment industry.”
"Rumors are circulating online that Li Sijin may have been made a scapegoat for Wen Yuexi because she provided voice acting for her character in the new drama. Our reporters are still following up on this..."
Upon hearing this, the man, exuding a chilling aura, turned off the television.
She slammed the remote control onto the coffee table in front of Si Jin and spoke angrily.
"Did you hear that? Because of your arguments in court, Xixi's career is going to be ruined!"
"Li Sijin, all I did was ask you to take the blame for Xixi, why are you being so dramatic?! You had to reveal Xixi's itinerary and motive in court?! If it weren't for the reliable lawyer I hired, Xixi would be ruined by you right now!"
"Have you forgotten? You used to dote on me and never refused anything I said, but this time you've really gone too far!"
"Are you doing this to ruin Xixi to disgust him, or to see me?!"
"But it's no use you seeing me. The one I care about most is still Xixi. You're just a substitute for him. You need to recognize your place. If you didn't look like him, I wouldn't even bother with you... Ah!"
Before the man could finish his long speech, Si Jin kicked him in the stomach.
The tall body crashed to the ground, curling up like a shrimp.
Mu Beichen clutched his stomach, his brows furrowed in pain, and it took him a long time to recover.
She raised her narrow eyebrows and looked at Si Jin in disbelief.
That's impossible. Li Sijin has always been gentle and obedient. She's liked him since college and listens to whatever he says.
Why would they suddenly attack him now?!
Could it be that he directly mentioned the body double, thus angering this docile rabbit?
Okay, then he'll adopt a more conciliatory attitude.
As long as he can get Li Sijin to admit to sleeping with fans in front of reporters and suppress this matter for Xixi, he will endure the disgust and coax this disobedient stand-in one more time.
Mu Beichen gritted his teeth, stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and said, "Jinjin, I knew that Xixi had returned from abroad, and it was wrong of me to break up with you."
"But didn't you know from the very beginning when we got together? I've always loved Xixi."
"Besides, although we've been together for the past five years, I've never touched you, not even held your hand."
Even if you break up with me, you can find someone else; it won't delay you.
"Here's what we'll do: I've arranged for a reporter to help you hold a press conference in an hour. If you take the blame for Xixi, I'll agree to spend one more day with you as your boyfriend before you go to jail, okay?"
Mu Beichen was speaking in self-absorption when he heard Si Jin chuckle softly.
Her voice, which had dubbed countless leading men, was soothing, and her suppressed laughter was like heavenly music, exceptionally alluring: "President Mu, thank you."
Mu Beichen thought Si Jin was genuinely grateful and was about to continue coaxing her when he heard Si Jin speak again.
"Before I met President Mu, I really didn't understand what 'Pu Xin Nan' meant, but now I do."
